CAR MUST TAKE Initiative.
Baron Hayashi Tays Japan Cannot
Judge If it Is Time for Peace.

London, Oct. 19.-The Japanese min
lister here, Baron Hayashi, in an inter-
view today, on the result OF last weeks
fighting, said tc the Associated Press:
"The war will pe continued through
the winter. which in some respects is
more suitable for operations than the
summer. The next point of real i'm,
portance to be taken is Tie Pass.
When that is accomplished there il
nothing to prevent the Japanese ad-
vance to Ha1bin."
The minister expressed the utmost
confidence in the immediate tontinua-
tion OF the Japanese advance, adding:
"With reference to the peace arba-
bilities, can only say that the desire
for peace is but a natural feeling of hu-
manity, and the result of the horror we
all feel at the awful carnage now tax
ing place. But it is late in the day t,
he terrified at what is happening. 1t
should have been foreseen and prevent
ed. 1t is not for Japan to(judge if the
time has arrived to talk about peace.
This rests with the government of EN-
peror Nicholas"

FULL REGIMENT AT CORVALLIS.
Growth of Attendance Makes a
Change Necessary.

Change Necessary.
Corvallis-An almost complete reor-
ganization of the cadet battalion, and
its evolution into regiment. is con-
sequence of the largely increased at
tendance of students at the Oregon Ag-
ricultural college. Instead of about
$50 men, the ranks are now swollen
with about $50. and instead of the bat
talon of two small companies in vogue
a few years ago, the regiment will now
comprise four full companies of infan-
try, detachment of artillery. signal
corps and the regimental band.
The infantry companies each COM
prise 81 men, or two more than in the
regular United States service. Mounts
are provided for the cavalry detacn-
ment, comprising "a men in addition
to officers. Two field pieces with as
signments of horses and l6 men and
officers constitute the equipment and
personnel of the artillery detachment.
The signal corps numbers in men and
officers over 80, and the regimental
land, under command of a lieutenant
colonel, the officers being newly elected
under the orders providing for the or.
ganization, and issued by Lieutenant
Quinlan.

JAPAN HAS SHIPS IN WAITING.
Torpedo Boats Built at Newport
News Transferred at Sea.

Newport News, Oct. 1S Two of the
Lake submarine torpedo boats built
at the shipyards here, and believed to
be destined for the Japanese or Rus
sian governments, were hoisted on
board the Kennebec today. According
to the foreman in charge of the 200
men engaged in loading the craft, the
Kennehec will sail for Boston before
daylight.
y 1t was stated on apparently good au-
thority tonight that the Kennebec wi IL
be met up the coast by a steamship
now lying far at sea, and the big float
ing derrick, the. Ok, from New York.
The Ok, it is asserted, will lift the sub
marines from the deck of the Kenne-

SETTLERS WILL GET DUES.
Government Completes lnvesfiga-
fiOn of Eastern Oregon Cases.

Washington. Oct. 1S-The interior
department, acting under special act
passed at the last session, has complet-
ed an investigation of the cases of She1-
man county settlers who have been dis
posses sed of lands lying within the
limits of the grant to The Dalles Mill
tary Wagon Road company, in Eastern
Oregon. The report of the findings is
confidential, and will be submitted to
congress early in December.
The evidence collected will be sufi-
cient to enable congress to take final
action for the relief of these settlers.
1t will show the terms on which the
Eastern Oregon Land company, the
successor 20 The Dalles Military Wagon
Road company, is willing to relinquish
it's title to the disputed lands, and al
low them to revert to the settlers. 1t
will also show the state of improve
mepts which the settlers made on these
lands while temporarily in possession.
Congress must decide whether an ap-
preparation shall be made to buy from
the company its title to these lands, in
order to restore them to the settlers,
or whether it is better to reimburse the
settlers for the losses they sustained
by reason of being dispossessed.
The land company, it is said, is in
clined to deal fairly with the govern
ment in this matter, and will waive its
title to these lands provided the govern
ment pays its price.
Many years have elapsed since these
disputed lands we're eventually awarded
to the land company, and IN that time
a number of original settlers have dis
appeared. These few cases cannot be
reported upon. All the facts obtaina-
BILE have been collected, and congress
will be able to compensate settlers who
sustained losses thu ough no fault of
their own, but rather through faulty
decision of the land Office.

EARNESTLY DESIRE PEACE.
japanese Shocked at Victory Won
with Such Shedding of Blood.

Toxic, Oct. 19.-There is a strong
appeal Tor peace in the appalling trag-
edy which is now under enactment in
Manchuria. Both armies have fought
ferociously for a week. and desperate
fighting still continues. 1t is probable
that the death roll will be largely in
CT eased before the final shot is fired.
The preliminary reports indicate that
about 900 n en- on both sides have
been either killed or wounded, the
larger portion of them being Russians,
since the armies of the two belligerents
closed in combat.
Even the Japanese, to whom the
great victory is of paramount import
ance, seem to be shocked by the slaught-
er of their enemies. The japanese peo-
pie are receiving the news from the
field of battle calmly, and there can be
heard no shouts in the streets pro-
claiming the victory of their nation.
Few flags ale displayed. Probably
later on there will be a procession with
the consequent jollifcation, but there
are heard many expressions of opinion
that no denomination OF any kind
could be held. A prominent Japanese
said to the Associated Press co1respon-
dent tonight:
"We have won a sweeping and de-
cisive victory which may prove to be
the salvation of our country's exist
ence, but we regret both our own losses
and the terrible slaughter which our
forces have inflicted on the enemy.
We regret still more the necessity
which forced us to engage in this war;"

Time to End War.

To- Washington, Oct. 19.-The war in
the Orient has enlisted the closest at.
tention of the administration. and it is
felt that the time is approaching when
it will be in order for the great neutral
powers to move toward the restoration
of peace. President Roosevelt has
from the FIRST stood ready to use bis
good offices to stop hostilities, but he
is estopped from moving by the fact
that it has been the unbroken rule OF
our government to wait until it is as
sured that both sides to a controversy
of this kind are willing. ...

rifle Fighting, in which nueh
Damage Is Inflicted.

Lao Yang, Oct. 19.-General Oku,
commanding the Japanese left, has ad-
vanced from his position on the south
bank of the Shakhe river in the direc-
tion of Chienliuchanetseu, Is miles
north from Hang Cheng, with detach-
ments pushing on the double quick to
the west of Fushung, and the east of
FuIing. Ii is General Oku's object to
make impossible the retreat of the Rus
sian right along the railway. The
enemy's main force is based at CHEN
liuchangtseu, extending for three miles
northward with isolated bodies of
troops on both sides of the railroad.
Russian reserves are located above and
below the bridge leading across the
Hun river, northwest of Manhaipao,
and the Russian right is Fastening to
reach this position.
The rearguard has already been en-
gagged by the Japanese, but the Russian
scouts posted on the hills east of Man
dafu were observed yesterday afternoon
and change of plan ct Russian retreat
is expected. :
The retreat of the Russian right was
preceded by terrible attack on the
part of General Oku's forces, which re.
suited in stubborn struggle lasting
over three hours, covering a territory
of nearly five miles. The Russian ar
tillery directed a steady fire at the ex-
treme right flank, of the Japanese left,
forcing it to retreat one mile across a
series of low hills. There rally was
effected and Ieinforcements were re-
ceived from General Oku's main amy.
The extreme hight returned to it's
original position, supported by heavy
artillery fire from three strong points.
After an artillery duel of less than half
an hour, the Ru- sian fire opened all
along the line and a furious attack was
delivered by the Russians, which tenn
porarily stopped the Japanese advance.
The enemy was repelled, but repeated
the attempt to dislodge the Japanese
vanguard six times, being worsted in
every instance, but intlicting great
damage and sustaining terrible osses.
After the sixth advance the Russians
turned to hasty retreat. They left
their dead and several guns behind,
but managed to take with them the
greater number of the latter and their
wounded.
