nounced himself as self appointed
committee of one to secure China's par
ticipation in the Lewis and Clark expo
sition to be held in Portland, Or, in
1905. The prince remarked to Theo-

much impressed with the American
idea of celebrating the anniversaries of
great events with big expositions, and
declared he would use every effort to
secure Chinese participation.

EiARB0R FRHH TOO LATE.
Japanese Have Already Landed Men to
Attack Port Arthur.

Attack Port Arthur.
Toxic, June lS.-A iotilla of tor
pedoboats and torpedoboat destroyers,
under command of Captain Tsuchiya
and cooperating with the army, made
a reconnaissance in force near Siau
Ping island yesterday and bombarded
the Russian outposts on the coast to
the west Of the island. Siau Ping ist
land is IL miles to the west of Por-
Arthur.
AT noon theSRussian cruiser Novik,
conveying ten torpedoboat destroyers,
steamed out from Port Arthur. The
Russian shore batteries protected these
vessels with a heavy cannonade. The
Japanese aotilla retreated slowly, fir.
ing as 1t went, for the purpose of decoy-
ing the enemy to sea. At 8 O'Clock in
the afternoon the Russian ships re-
turned to the entrance of Port Arthur.
The fact that the Novik came out of
Port Arthur makes it certain that the
Russians have succeeded in blasting a
channel through the cement laden
merchantmen sunk by the Japanese in
the entrance to the harbor. This free
dom OF egress comes too late to permit
OF any effect upon the operations of the
Japanese army, for men, guns and
stores have practically all been landed,
and Admiral Togo is capable OF keeping
the remnants of the Russian fleet i'm
prisoned In Port Arthur.
Last Monday night Japanese vedette
boats, protected by torpedo boats and
torpedo boat destroyers, succeeded in
reaching the entrance to Port Arthur
and planting series of mines there.
The darkness of midnight favored the
oepration. The Japanese vessels were
not observed and they returned to the
rest of the squadron without having
sustained any damage.

MAY ESTABLISH NEW BASE.
Russians Now Believe Japanese VIII
Take Nlu chwaBg.

st. Petersburg, June 16.--The bonn
bardment by the Japanese of the coast
near Kaichou and the blockade of Niu
Chwang is taken to indicate that the
ultimate object of the combined move
ments is TO clear the Lao Tung penin-
sula of Russians and occupy NIu
Chwang as new base. The garrison
at Niu Chwang, it is said here, remains
undiminished, but it is not believed
the Russian plans contemplate seri-
GUS attempt to hold Niu Chwang.
The Japanese are strongly fortifying
Feng Wang Cheng as q precaution
against disaster.
The war office has advices since June
IL from Pu Ian Tien, in the southern
part of the Lao Tung peninsula, and
they do not mention the reported Jap
anese ambush of that date, resulting in
the loss IN that vicinity to the Russians
of 500 men. Neither has the war Office
any confrmatory report of the ambush
ing and almost total destruction by the
Russians of two Japanese battalions on
the Hal Cheng road. The officials of
the war Office discredit both reports.

DECISION ON swAmp LAND.


Salem-Governor Chamberlain has
received the full text Of the decision OF
the secretary Of the interior reieeting
the claim Of the state Of Oregon to the
swamp lands within the Klamath In
dian reservation. Briefly stated, the
decision quotes the swamp land act Of
1860, which specifically provides that
the grant TO the state shall "include
any lands which the government may
have reserved, sold or disposed Of lin
pursuance Of any law heretofore enact
ed) prior to the confirmation of title to
be made under the authority Of the
said act"
The treaty creating the Klamath res
ervation was not made until 1864, but
the decision holds that the right or
title Of occunancy of the Indians ex-
listed prior to that time, as recognized
by the act Of lS4s, establishing the ter
ritorial government OF Oregon, wherein
it was provided:
"That nothing in this act contained
shall be construed to impair the rights
VI PSAOOA Vi PAOPCisy hOW pertaining W
the Indians in said territory, 90 long as
such rights shall remain unextin-
guished by treaty between the United
States and such Indians, or to affect the
authority of the government of the
United States to make any regulation
respecting such Indians, their lands,
property or other rights, by treaty, law
or otherwise, which it would have been
competent to the government to make
il this act had never passed."
The secretary of the interior holds
that this provision recognizes the title
or right of occupancy Of the Indians
to all the country occupied by them,
and that the treaty Of 1854 operated
merely to cede to the United States the
rights the Indians held in lands other
than those set apart as place of resi-
dence-the Klamath reservation. In
other words, the treaty Of 1864 but re-
du6ed the extent of the possession OF
the Indians, whose right existed prior
to the swamp land act Of 1860 and still
exists,

MANY MEN LOST.
japanese and Russians Engage In .
Furious SkIrmIsh.

st. Petersburg, June 16.-General
stackelberg, through the army head
quarters at Harbin, reports a number
Of desperate skirmishes with the Jap
anese, in which both sides lost heavily
and in one Of which the Russian Gen
eral Gernross was severely wounded.
At midday yesterday an entire di-
vision Of japanese made desperate at
tack on the left flank OF the Russian
position at yaiangow. They attacked
in three columns, and after shelling
the Russians with heavy artillery made
furious bayonet charge in the face Of
a heavy charge Of rapid-fre guns and
musketry. The desperation Of the Jap
anese charge is shown by the fact that
some Of them succeeded in getting with
in q few yards Of the Russian trenches
before they were shot down. They
were finally compelled to retire, leav-
ing fully 800 dead behind.
The First Siberian rifles bore the
brunt Of the attack, and their Iostes
we're very heavy. Their commander,
Colonel Kavastounoff, fell almost in
the first fire, with bullet through his
brain. Adiutant Sub Lieutenant Nod
ochinsky was killed almost at the same
time. Two majors and nun beT of
officers Of lesser rank were picked off
by the Japanese sharpshooters, whose
fire was unusually deadly and acurate.
General Gernross was shot just as
the japanese attacking column broke
and fed. A shrapnel bullet shattered
one side Of his jaw, but he refused to
retire.
A report was also received from Gen.
eTal Kharkevitch telling of the battle
between the outposts at Utiaton Satur-
day. He states that the Japanese at
tackled from front and flank early in
the afternoon and the fighting ragged
until late. Finally the Japanese were
driven back, and the Russians followed
up their advantage under cover Of dark
ness. Just before dawn the Russians
charged the heights of Lao Tung, car
rying the Japanese position with loss
Of but four killed and Is wounded.
Ger eral KhaTkevitch also reports
that his scouts have reported to him
that Japanese column numbering 81
600 men is marching toward Huayen-
slang.

Report Of Japanese Advance From Sui
yen Is Causing Great Alarm.
st. Petersburg, June 20.-The popu-
lar disappointment felt in st. Peters
burg over the result of Lieutenant Gen.
eral Baron Stakelberg's fight, which it
had been hope for the past SO hours
might turn out to be a victory, is temp
cred somewhat by the knowledge that
the Russian force was overwhelmed by
numbers. General Stakelberg does not
attempt to conceal the seriousness Of
his losses, but his report and the re-
ports from all other Russian sources
agree that the retreat was in no sense a
rout. The fierce character of the fight
is made evident by the fact that the
Russians were again forced to abandon
their guns, thus indicating, as in pre-
vious encounters, the superiority Of the
Japanese artillery.
The RR;G;ssSS:an official reports of the
losses are awaited with the keenest in
terest. The war office declines to ac-
cept the japanese figures unreservedly,
although the officials frankly admit
that they believe the Russian CASUAL
ties were severe.
The keenest interest is now manifest
ed in the reported advance of two Jap
anese divisions from Siuyen with the
intention of taking General Stakelberg
in the rear. 1t is realized that If this
report should prove true the Russian
commander may be unable to extricate
himself, and if he should be cut off
from General Kuropatkin's main army
the fate of the detachment would be

MILLION SHEEP RN ROUTE.


Going to the Blue Mountains for the
Pendleton-Tens of thousands OF
sheep are en- route to summer range in
the Blue mountains across various
parts of Unatilla county. Between
20, 900 and $4,000 travelled last week
up the Walla Walla river road through
Freewater and Milton, numerous bands
went up the Umatilla, and focks are
moving southwark up Birch and simil-
ar creeks into Southern Umatilla.
Tne mountain range of this county,
and portions of Union and Grant coun-
ties, are the ultimate destinations.
The annual protest is also beginning
to go from water users in the irrigated
sections, who are afraid that the flow
of their various streams will be lessened
through sheep eating out underbrush
at the headwaters of these streams.
Whether the increasing deficiency in
flow during the dry seasons is due to
extra demands made by the constantly
growing number of irrigators, or to the
disappearance of mountain shrubbery
and consequent lack of anything to Ie-
tain the snowfall is a disputed issue
between sheepmen and water users, an
issue which brings up the old conten-
tion about whether sheepheIders burn
out the underground to help grass for
the next season or not.
Meanwhile, the bands whose aggre-
gate will fill the Blue mountains of
three counties mentioned with nearly
1000, 900 sheep are pouring in, and
can be encountered on any mountain
highway.

Tangier, June 16,-French occupa-

luton is practically certain within a

ported by the entire educated class.
The sultan's authority is virtually nom
existent, and until the country is occu-

volcano. Should France avoid her re-
sponsibility, America or Great Britain
may be forced into energetic action,
thus creating a situation similar to that
existing in Egypt.

DEATH LIST Grows.
Total Loss Of Lie In Steamer Disaster
Now Put at 700.

New York. June 1s.--With unceas.
Ing effort search is going on for the
bodies Of those who perished yesterday
on the steamer General slocum. What
the list OF victims will total scarcely
anyone dares venture 10 guess, but
whatever the number may be, there is
hardly parallel In the history Of dis
asters where death came TO 80 many In
so brief period OF time. Police and
health department officials have placed
the number at figure as high as / 900
and more, but tonight II would seem
that the maximum figure will not
largely exceed 700.
All day long, until darkness shut off
even the melancholy satisfaction of
watching for the dead. anxious search
ers kept up their vigilance and at dusk
there had been recovered 536 bodies,
for the greater part women and chill
dren--motheTs who, weeks ago, bad
planned that fatal outing for their chill.
dren, and little ones who had longed
for the coming Of the happy day.
Up 10 dusk 400 bodies had passed
through the morgue and Of these more
than 800 were unidentified. The East
Side had its sympathy aroused TO the
fullest extent, and down by the river,
where the boats unloaded their dead,
thousands gathered throughout the day.
Streets leading 10 the morgue we're
blocked. and only with difficulty could
the police clear the passages leading to
the long rows OF cofiins for those who
came in search for the missing.
Up the sound, where the hulk Of the
General Slocum lies submerged, show
ing only a paddle.box, scores Of small
craft aided the tugs in graphing for the
victims. Divers went down time and
time again, and when the work ended
for the day they declared there were no
more bodies in the wreck. A score Of
times diver reappeared alter his
plunge with the body OF woman or
child. Two Of them coming to the
surface together on one occasion had in
their arms two little girls, sisters,
clasped in each others embrace, and
their mother, it was thought, whose
dead hand tightly clenched the skirt Of
one OF them.
As far as they could, the divers
searched the wreck from stem to stern.
The wreck lies about 200 feet off Bar
retoa Point. At this point the water
is deep and the current is swift, and
beyond doubt many bodies have been
borne along with the tide to ba given
up on later day at some distant point.

The Gwinn-Isaacs company IL consider
ed an Idaho sheep firm, although q

Late as 1t is, some OF the Gwinn-
Isaacs bands are not yet even sheared.
Eight bands we're trailed into summer
range in Grant county from the Snake
river country in Malheur county.
Here the company has over 5O, 900 acres
leased from the old Dalles military
land company which secured control OF
an immense area in Grant and one or
two other counties for cutting a road
through the interior in the early days,
and the Gwinn-Isaac people have so
sections on long lease. As govern
ment sections alternate with each sec
tion granted to the military road COM
pany, the sheepmen have an immense
territory available. In spite Of the
normally overclowded condition Of the
Grant range, no trouble is experienced
with settlers by the Gwinn-Isaac peo-
pie, partly becauee their land is leased
and partly because there are few or no
settlers in the district they occupy. In
addition to this, their sheep trail Is
through sparsely settled and barren
country.
The remaining five bands Of this
company are Ia. the Wood river country
in Idaho.
