Experts Examining Ballots.

Denver, Dec. 9.-The ballot box
from precinct 6, ward 5, was opened
today by order of the supreme court, in
the contempt proceedings against off,
cials of that precinct, and its contents
we're turned over to two handwriting
experts, who we're directed to examine
the ballots and report their findings to
the court tomorrow. The court ad-
journed until tomorrow without its de-
cision on the question of rejecting the
entire vote of precincts in which its in.
junctive order was violated. This
would change the result OF the election.

STARvE FORT
JdpS nake Fewer Assaults ON
Port Arthur.
COST or LIFE IS TOO GREAT
Sinking Of fhe Russian fleet was
nsIn Object OF fhe Recent
Desperate Attacks.

Toxic, Dec. IL. - In disabling the
Russian feet at Port Arthur, pTeclud.
ing the possibility of its being able TO
reinforce the second Pacific squadron,
the japanese have accomplished the
main object Of the desperate assaults
against the fortress which they have
been making for the past three months.
There is now strong probability that,
while continuing the siege, they will
avoid losses Of the magnitude already
attending their efforts, and, instead Of
assaulting will rely on starving out the
garrison until 1t is finally captured.
Considerable astonishment is ex-
pressed here over the fact that the Rus
slams in no way resisted the disabling
of the Port Arthur feet. In certain
quarters the opinion is expressed that
the Russians opened the seacocks of the
submerged vessels to lessen their ex-
posure to the Japanese fire.
The recent cessation Of mine clearing
was taken as evidence that the feet did
not intend to make a sortie.
There was no sign OF life on the Rus
sian ships during the bombardment,
and from this fact ii is concluded that
the bluejackets took refuge on land or
that they are engaged in the land de-
lenses.
With the Russian second Pacific
squadron approaching, those in Toxic
cannot comprehend the failure of the
Russians to die hard and to infiict all
possible damage on the japanese feet,
even at the cost of weakening the eff
fective garrison.
Now that the Port Arthur feet has
been disabled, it is deemed impossible
for the Russians to overcome the infer
iority of the second Pacific squadron to
Togo's feet, unless at present unfore-
seen, the Black sea feet should pass
the Dardanelles.

DEAL is CLOSED.
Stamp riilI to Operate During Lewis
and Clark Fair.

Portland, Dec. IL. - Negotiations
were practically completed with a big
Colorado mining company yesterday
for the installation at the Lewis and
Clark exposition Of q stamp mill, con-
oentraticn plant and other mining ma
chinery, showing the treatment accord
ed raw ore in converting il into bull
ion. This will form q valuable addi-
ton to the mining exhibit, which
promises to be the most notable ever
made.
The company in question is the Colo
RADIO Fuel & Iron company, one of the
largest Of its kind in existence. The
proposition was made to the exposition
management in the form of an offer to
install the machinery providing Ore
gon mining men would furnish sufi-
cient ore to keep the machinery busy
during the exposition hours. After
a canvass of Oregon producers the ex-
position management was able to assure
the company that DO difficulty will be
experienced in supplying all of the ore
that will be required.
1t is possible that an annex to the
mining building will be required Tor
the new working exhibit, as the space
in the main building is now we'll taken
and no great allotments can be made to
one enterprise since the interests of in
dividuals and districts which wish to
participate must be protected.
General interest is being displayed
in the Lewis and Clark mining exhibit.
Miners and mining men all over the
country are preparing their choicest
ores for shipment here, and judging
from the number of offers of minerals
now on file at exposition headquarters
there will be more ores on hand than
can possibly be shelved. This will ne
cessitate the selection of choice speci-
mems, although it will not cause any
exhibit to be ruled out, as all exhibit
oTs will be given chance.

interested In bringing the matter be-
fore the river aand harbor committee

Many years ago the government be-

been secured from engineers regarding
the proper method Of deepening the

was the jetty system. Small appro-

progressed to the extent OF the funds
available. Then all would rest until
another small appropriation would be
made. The jetty was only fairly under
way and just beginning to show what
might be done, when appropriations
ceased TO come.
The business Of the haTbor has been
increasing and now amounts TO consid-
eTable, and business men OF Florence

Mr. Webster introduced another reso-
luton asking that the city ascertain the
cost of paving East Main street, from
Fifth avenue east. with one course of
brick over the present foundations; also
the cost that may be derived from the
sale of the brick now forming the top
course. Vitrif1ed brick is to be consid-
cred in repaving the street. Mr. Web
Ster called the councils attention to the
poor pavement. and the fact that 1t
had never been good, because of a
cheap brick used Now that there are
prospects of opening up Twelfth ave-
nue. and giving East Main more traf-
fic. he thought the pavement should be
made servieeable, at the city's expense.
Mr.. Good amended to include the cost
of an asphalt top, but withdrew his
amendment when other members of the
council considered the scheme imprac-
ticable
Mr. Ingledue introduced resolution
