TICKET WILL Win
Chairman Goodwin Predicts
Democratic Victory.
TURNER WILL Be ELECTED GOVERNOR
Sentiment for the Democratic State
Nominees Is Growing Rapidly
Throughout Washington.
TURNER WILL Be ELECTED GOVERNOR

}. w. Goodwin, chairman of the state
democratic committee. arrived in Wal
la Walla this morning from Spokane.
He was accompanied by Nj. j. Maloney.
OF ColVlile county, a member of the
state advisory committee. These gen.
tlemen will remain i'll Walla Walla I'M
til after Saturday night when they
will go to Yakima county.
During the day Chairman Goodwin
and Mr.. MalOney held conference
with County Chairman John B. Catron
and many Of the plans of carrying on
the campaign in Walla Walla county
We're discussed.
Mr.. Goodwin and Mr.. Maloney have
been making a tour of the counties on
the east side of the mountains, and
have visited nearly every county ex-
cept Yakima, kittitas and Klickitat.
Mr.. Goodwin has also been in every
county on the west side. Both are en-
thusiastic over the present outlook and
ltSl cOlIlIutllt tndl the democratic state
ticket will be successful at the polls
in November.
We are perfectly satisfied with the
situation" said Mr.. Goodwin this morn
! ing. Il have put in about three weeks
on the west side and about two weeks
on this side of the mountains, and l
/ have been paying special attention to
the campaign throughout the state l
am confident that the republican state
ticket will come to the Cascade noun
tans with very little if any, majority.
The most conservative estimates made
by the republicans does not place
Mead's majority on the west side at
| a very large figure, and many of them
! Will carry the counties on the other
! side of the mountains. The people of
| eastern Washington do not realize the
situation on the west side. While the
ma jority of our people are not vitality
| interested in the railroad question
they are as earnestly opposed to the
railroads dominating politics in this
state as you are over here.
Our people on the other side have
large lumber interests. They long act
ed largely with the railroad interests
of the state, believing that the rail
roads through friendship would grant
them some things that they nave been
wising-now many have come to the
conclusion that the railroads are not
going to do so, and that their rela-
| tons are somewhat strained. The
great surprises in this campaign viii
come from some of the counties west
of the mountains.
There is not the least doubt about
the east side l am satisfied that the
democratic ticket will be successful il
every county east of the Cascades anC
that Turner will go to the mountain:
with an immense majority. He vii
have a majority that will surely cleo
him as the next governor of the state
of Washington. This is true also o
the entire state ticket.

MUST HAVE CLEAR TITLE
No Money viii Be Paid to Panama Until
Then.

Washington, (SpeciaD. - Important
matters relating to the Panama Canal
we're under discussion by President
Roosevelt and his Cabinet. The meeting
consumed more than two hours, and at
it's conclusion the members of the Cabi-
oct were unusually reticent.
Attorney General Knox and other Off
Gals of the Department of Justice have
under consideration the title to the canal
property which is to be passed to this
country by the Panama Canal Company,
but as vet they have reached no cOnclu-
sion. 1t was said after the meeting that
no money would be paid by this govern
ment until a clear title to the property
was obtainable, but no intimation was
given as to the length of time which
might elapse before decision was
reached.
The entire subject of the canal and its
construction was discussed in addition to
the legal phases of the question. 1t is
expected that the commission just ap-
pointed will get to work practically i'm
mediately. 1t is said to be certain that
the commission will 60 to the iSthmus
very soon to inspect thoroughly the con.
ditions and to start the preliminary work
of construction.
In this connection 1t was decided, as
heretofore indicated might be the case,
to countermand the orders issued to the
Third United States Infantry to 60 to the
isthmus to relieve the marines now on
guard duty there. For sometime the
marine detachment will constitute the
guard on the isthmus. This government
is opposed to establishing two jurisdic.
lions on the isthmus, and as the naval
vessels must remain there it was thought
best to allow the marines to continue to
do land duty.
1t is the earnest wish of the President
and the members of the Cabinet that nc
unnecessary delay should occur in the
beginning of work on the canal, and it is
their intention to press it with the ut.
most vigor.

Foreign.

British and German vessels laden with
coal; provisions and other cOntraband
articles have reached Vladivostok, Japan
not interfering for the reason that they
may prove useful to her at later stage
of the campaign, probably when the
japanese make an attempt to bottle up
the Russian squadron at that port.
The State Department has informed
the New York Presbyterian Society, as
well as the Baptists, that Minister Allen,
in Korea, has been instructed to do all
he can for the American missionaries in
that country.
The Russian Ambassador at London
has presented King Edward with letter
from the Car acknowledging receipt of
the Kings letter emphasizing Great
Britain's complete neutrality during the

United States Minister Thomas and
Mrs. Thomas gave brilliant ball in the

Stockholm.
American marines are guarding prop

Lima, Peru, was seriously shaken up
by an earthquake, the worst that has &C.
cur ed there in 30 years.
The French Foreign Office does not

Japan in the war. 1t is also announced
by French officials that they have not
been asked to cede any islands to Russia
for coaling stations.
The Russians are making every effort
to prevent blockade on the Siberian
Railroad.

BATTLESHIPS BLOCKED.
Wrecked Russian Warsbip Lies 10 Way at
Port Arthur.

London, (By Cable).-Little change in
the Far Eastern situation is reported
here. 1t is apparent that the japanese
are busily engaged in transporting their
forces into Korea, and this work is being
facilitated by the enforced inactivity of
the navy.
According to the Scbastopol correspon.
dent of the Daily Graphic Admiral Skryd
loft has learned privately from Port
Arthur that the Russian battleship Ret,
vizan lies in such position as to block
effectually the exit of battleships from
the harbor the passage being practicable
only for cruisers.
The correspondent adds that Russia's
new battleships now building on the Bal
tic will not be ready for active commits
sion before the end of August.
The Japanese official who has charge
Of Japan's financial and commercial in
terests in England declares that his gov
erumcnt foresaw the possibility of coal
being declared contraband of war, and
that it has been collecting large stores of
Welsh steam coal for years, so that it
has supply sufficient for the needs Of
the navy for wears to come.

RUSSIANS LEAVE YIN=KOW
Unable to Defend the Coast Without
Forts and Entertainments.

Yin kow, (By Cable).-The Russo
Chinese Bank is closing, preparatory &c
removing to Mukden. Women and chill
dren are preparing to leave Yin.kow in
anticipation of the arrival of japanese
fleet, which is expected when the river
opens, probably fortnight hence.
The United States gunboat Helena and
the British cruiser Espiegele are making
preparations to leave the drydocks in
weeks time.
The mainmast of the Russian gunboat
Sivoutch has been cut off; this would
indicate that she is being dismantled,
but other wise she would appear to be
clearing for action.
On account of the impossibiity OF de-
Tending the coast at Yin-kow until such
time as thaw permits the construction
of Entertainments and forts, the Russians
have prepared to retire up the main rail
road line.
There are practically no defenses here,
and, although the shifting and reshiftlng
Of troops and artillery to the small forts
ut the mouth of the Lao River has the
appearance of an intention to defend Yin
kow, the military authorities depend upon
an inland engagement to put stop tc
the japanese advance.
AS far as is yet known, the only plans
decided upon are, first, that Gen. Kuro'
patkin's headquarters are to be at Muk'
1en Viceroy Alexieff proposes to remain
at Mukden indefinitely, as that city is
the center of the Chinese administration
and has a vicerOy bureau second, that
the plan west of TashihchiaO, which is
almost impossible of defense, will be held,
if possible, on account of the railroad con.
Meeting with Port Arthur; third, Haiching
and Lao yang are the extreme limits tC
which troops will be withdrawn on ac.
count of the exposure of the railroad at
these points.
That the japanese will arrive before a
thaw permits the construction of defenses
is thought here to be practically certain.
1t would appear also that the authorities
expect Port Arthur to be besiegcd.
Sir Robert Hart, director of Chinese
imperial maritime customs, after sound
ing Russian opinion in the matter, has
ordered the Chinese customs lightship
and the channel buoy to be placed at the
river mouth as usual. This step, how
ever, has no effect upon the neutraliza'
zion of Niuchwang.

A provision forbidding rural letter

The Navy Department has made ar

II most humbly inform Your Majesty
that the commandant at the fortress at

About noon the enemy's squadron was

Funds for Panama Canal.

Secretary Shaw has notified all specia

be required to pay, on account OF thl

their holdings of government funds on or
before March %. The 20 per cent. az
gregates $50, 600, 600, leaving about $50,
GOO, 900 to be supplied from the Treasury
1t has been decided heretofore to have
the depository national banks in New

lions over to the New York Subtreasury
at once to meet at this time the payment
due Panama, and later to pay the new
canal company at Paris the $40, 900, Ooo
due it by calls on national bank deposi-
taries outside New York city. In view,
however, of news received from Paris
later in the day to the effect that the
French company at once would call a
meeting of its directors and carry out the
formalities necessary to the transfer OF
the title to the property to the United
States it was thought best to make the
two payments to the canal company and
to the Republic of Panama concurrently

Vladivostok, (By Cable).-A fleet Of
five japanese battleships and two cruisers
Appeared off this place at % P. M and

for 80 minutes
The feet approached from the direc-
tion of Askold Island, at the east en-
