chanan Herron-Died Sunday.

ron occurred from the residence of
Mrs. Ruth Buchanan yesterday
morning. The service was at nine
o'clock, and was conducted by Rev

Mrs. Buchanan was buried in her
bridal robes. She was a young
wife, her marriage to Robert Her
ron, having occurred in October,
1901, less than three years ago
She was also a young mother, a
child but of a single summer being
among those who mourn. In maid
enhood, she was known as Miss
Alice Buchanan, and as such she is
on the records as student at the
Agricultural College, from which
she was graduated with the class of
1896. She was the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Buchan-
an. and was born on the old Bu-
chanan homestead, I o miles south
of Corvallis on the 4th day of Feb
ruarv, 2o years ago. She died at
the home of her widowed mother,
Mrs. Ruth Buchanan, in this city.
just as last Sunday was merging
into its midnight. She had bided
theie for six long months, waiting
for the inevitable death that comes
from well developed case of con-
sumption. Her home after her
marriage was on the well known
Heron farm in Irish Bend. Her
going is a great grief to wide cir
Gle of relatives and a host of old
time friends, who mourn her pass
ing with deep and abiding sor-
row.

Uncle Sam Seeks Mandamus for Dis

HEARST DELEGATES NAMED.

Action Of Rhode island Democrats
Subject Of Much Discussion.
A special dispatch from Washington
says: The action OF the democrats
of Rhode Island in naming six Hearst
men out Of the eight delegates to the
democratic national convention has
been the most widely discussed piece
Of political news which has reached
Washington in many day.
While the Hearst men say they ex-.
pected this result, the closeness Of the
contest shows they were by no means
certain, and the news was most palat-
able to them. Those who are favora-
BILE to other candidates seem to have
not anticipated this result in little
Rhode. Island, and they say its effect
will only be to increase the activity
on the part Of Mr.. Hearst's opponents.
The fact remains that this marks first
blood for Hearst, and that it comes
from source not altogether expected
by those who do not favor his candi-
dacy.

TORPEDO BOATS IN FIGHT.
Most Unique Contest Before Port Ar
thur in Which Soth Sides Lose
One Vessel Each.

The complete story OF the fierce
fight of, Port Arthur between the tor
pedo hotilIas, which occurred Wednes-
day and the BON oardment which fol-
lowed ON Thursday morning, was not
given out at St. Petersburg until after
midnight Friday night.
Two official messages from Viceroy
Alexieff had been received during the
day and presented to the emperor,
but the public remained in suspense.
The impression was that Admiral Ma
karoff had directed the attack upon
the enemy's feet. When the texts ap-
peared it became evident that the col
lision between the torpedo fotillas had
occurred accidentally during the night,
while the, Russians were scouting in
search Of the enemy.
AS far as is known, this is the first
time torpedo boats have engaged each
other at sea. Although the odds were
against the Russians, as the Japanese
fotilla was supported by the cruiser
squadron, the Russians made heroic
dash for the. foe and apparently had
the better Of the combat, sinking a
Japanese torpedo boat, until the cruis'
ers got within range, and one Of the
latter shells crippled Russian. ,torpe-

Many Russians Killed in the
Bombardment.
PORT MAY BE ABANDONED
Fall Of Stronghold is Freely Predicted
and May Be Signal for Chinese
to Rise Against
Russians.

With unusual unanimity it is report
ed in London from the war CORE
spondents of the London papers that
Port Arthur has been practically
abandoned. This is taken to mean
that the Russians are not going be-
yond the present endeavors to hold
the place, and that preparations are
under way to facilitate a retirement.
That the Japanese have remark
. able advantage in having once held
Port Arthur is evident. The accuracy
OF their fire is arousing military admi-
ration. It is reported from reliable
sources that not only were fifty per-
sons killed or wounded in the town
during the last bombardment, but that
in addition to this, forty-five sailors
were killed on the vessel in the har-
Dor. , ,r.. .........,...... -..-.
It is believed in London that a part
of the program of abandoning" Port
Arthur is to get the Port Arthur feet
out and run the gauntlet Of the Jap
anese squadron. The repairs on the
damaged ships are under way, and a
final dash Is likely to occur inside OF
ten days. ".. '-
From Shanghai great excitement is
reported among the Chinese. One cor
respondent cables that it is his belief
that the fall Of Port Arthur will be
the signal of an open breaking Of neu-
tranty on the part Of China. That ia
pan has some knowledge of this seems
to be indicated by the continuous re:
ports emanating from Toxic to the
effect that "Port Arthur is doomed" !"
virtually abandoned etc.
.,.. Confirmed at Tien-Tsin. -.
A special from . Tien-Tsin, China,
says: Information from an official,
who was an eye witness Of the bonn
bardment of Port Arthur on <ednes-
day and Thursday, is to the effect
that the Russians had twenty-five
killed on the battleship Sebastapol,
twenty On the Retvizan, and, IN addl-
ton, thirty persons, principally SOL
diers, were killed in Port Arthur.
The Russians assert that their dam
aged cruisers have been repaired and
are ready for the sea. The battle ship
Czarevitz will be ready shortly. There
is no dock capable Of taking the Ret
viZan.
The Russians are preparing for the
defense Of Niuchwang, finding it i'm.
possible to stop the landing Of the
Japanese.

Photos Of Washington ard
Roosevelt So CIassed.
SENATOR M'LAURiN ANGRY
PeddIers are Arrested in Mississippi
for Arousing Race Prejudice.
Newspaper Report Was
Exaggerated.

A Washington special says: Mr..
McLaurin, of Mississippi, took the
floor in the senate Saturday to make
a personal explanation regarding the
newspaper paragraph, saying that the
authorities of IndianoIa, Miss, are
engaged in arresting people for sell
ing photographs of President Roose-
welt and Booker T. Washington din
ing together Ordinarily, said Mr..
McLaurin, story Of this character
may not be worth attention, but un-
der the circumstances he felt he
should refer to it for the purpose of
refuting it, as. it is entirely without
foundation.
The paragraph, which was dated
New Orleans, March 10, follows:
"Enraged at President RooseVelt's
refusal to remove Minnie Cox, post
mistress of the IndiaGola, Miss, post
Office, Sheriff Anderson, Of that place,
today arrested s. and Frank Davidson,
Of Chicago. for peddling Photographs
showing Mr.. Roosevelt and Booker
Washington dining a. the same table.
The sheriff classified the photos as
obscene matter and prejudicial to the
dignity Of the south, and to show tho
president that Indianola citizens will
not tolerate any person circulating
likenesses of himself on social
equality with the negro educator.
Groups Of indignant citizens gath:
cred at the 1ndianela jail, urging Sc
we're punishment forth Chicagoans
for violating the obscene literature
law. No other pictures considered
vulgar by the sheriff sweresfound, but
the men were not released. 8 Sheriff;
Anderson has detailed force OF depu-
ties to scour the surrounding country
searching for other pictures the ped"
dlers are said to have sold, In which
the race problem figured. :" =
Mr.. McLaurin said the paragraph
had grown out of statement made
in a newspaper letter written by A.
e. Paxton, an attorney of Leland,
Miss, who told Of the arrest at that
point Of three men who, he said,
were engaged in selling pictures OF
the. president and Washington seated
at table together and also pictures of
an obscene character. These pictures,
he said, appealed strongly to- race
prejudice.
Similar arrests also, Mr. McLaurin
said, had been made in Indianola, and
it was found on hearing of the case
that a Cincinnati concern engaged in
publishing the pictures in question
had many agents out in the interest
Of these works.
The men were tried and some OF
them sent out of the county and Mr..
McLaurin expressed surprise that any
community should have permitted
them to be tried. He said the penalty
imposed by the law was entirely too
inadequate and expressed the opinion
that the death penalty would not be
too severe. He added that the ar
rests were not because the men were
selling photographs of the president
or of Washington, but because they
were selling lewd pictures. Mr.. For.
aker said he never had heard of the
Cincinnati firm mentioned as respon-
sible for the purpose of the pictures.
