SHIP IN BAD WAY.
Russian Transport Lena Is Not
Now SeawOrfhy.


Washington, sept. l5.-The develop
ment of the day in the case of the Rus
sian cruiser Lena at San Francisco was
the clearing up of the official muddle
arising out OF the doubt as to which o.
the five departments of the government
should deal with it. 1t was finally de-
cided by the president that the state
and navy departments should treat the
case, acting jointly, decision ealculat-
ed to greatly simplify its handling.
Over night came a telegram from
Admiral Goodrich, at San Francisco,
showing that on his own initiative he
had caused one of his expert officers to
make preliminary examination of the
Lena. and that temporary repairs would
occupy six weeks time, and that new
boilers would involve eight months de-
lay. The president approved the ad-
miral's action.
Agreeable to the presidents instruc-
tions, Acting Secretary Adee, for the
state department, and Captain Pills
bury, for the navy department., had
two conferences during the day, and
the result was the preparation of in
structions to Admiral Goodrich, which
it is understood were wired to the pres
ident first for his approval. There is
good ground to believe that these in
structions contemplate the allowance oi
sufficient time to the Lena to make
temporary repairs. However, there il
a growing belief that the vessel will
be obliged to intern in the end, for it
is altogether probable that by the time
she could be made ready to 60 to sea
one or more Japanese cruisers would
be off the Golden Gate, ready to sink
or capture her. Foreseeing such an
event as request for the right. te
intern, the officials have been consider.
ing hat shall be done with the crew,
whether they shall be allowed to re.
turn to Russia on parole, or ust be
interned on their own ship Ill San
Francisco harbor. On this point nc
decision has been reached.

Drill for $500 a Side.

Sumpter-As a result of the drilling
contest at Bourne on Labor day, in
which M. D. Mcleod came off victor
ious, there is promise of much more
interesting contest. Mcleod, holding

aries have been arranged, and the town
offering the most tempting purse will

dent is each man of beating the other.

FAST STRENGTHENING FORTS.
japanese are Working Night and
Day at Port Arthur.

Chefoo, Sept. 15.-In it's issue of
September the Port Arthur Novikrai
remarks upon the energy Of the Japan
ese, who continue the work of strength
ening their forts near Rihlongshan
night and day.
Outpost skirmishes at Port Arthur
are still going on. On September 6
some Russian scouts stealthily ap-
preached the Japanese lines and kid
naped five Japanese sentinels. Later
they Inadvertently ran into some wires
hung with bells which the Japanese
had strung up in order to sound an
alarm. When the bells began ringing
the Russians charged forward, firing
the while. A Japanese detachment in
trench returned the fire wildly for a
moment, and then retreated. The Rus
slams gained the trench and found 46
Japanese dead there.
Two junks arrived here today from
Port Arthur. One contained villagers
from Polantsu, which has been des-
troyed, and the other brought 1877
Chinese deported by the Russian au-
thorities. They reported that junk,
carry lug three Russian officers, had
been captured by the Japanese and TAX
en- into Port Dalny.
The villagers of Polantsu complain
that it is the practice of the Russians
to commander everything obtainable
in the way of eatables. They say the
soldiers often entered their houses and
took meats which had just been cut ior
themselves.
1t is reported that the Russian are
having difficulty with the powder they
manufacture at Port Arthur. A shell
fired from Golden Hill recently failed
to carry the proper distance and
dropped am ons some Russian troops,
killing four of them.

Plan Lona Wagon Road.

Portland-The plan to build wagon
road from Portland to the California
line has been discussed favorably by
the county court. Multnomah county
already has a road which reaches to
Clackamas county and it can be made
a first class road with not much ex-
pense. Other counties have roads ex-
tending from one county to the other
in some instances, but to make one con-
tinuous road the whole distance might
require state aid.

barrels of water, but could not use it to
any advantage. The insurance on the

STRIKE RIOTS
Two NOnuniOn Women Sc

AIDED IN ATTACK BY WOMEN
In Other Savage Attacks and in
Fights Following Six People are
Injured, Two Severely.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Two savage at
tacks were made upon nonunion work.
ers at the stockyards toniglt. and in
the fights that followed eight people
we've injured, four of them so severely
that it was necessary to take them to
the hospital.
The first disturbance occurred at the
intersection of Halstead and Root
streets. Two young women, Annie
Cook and Matte Jasper, were on an
east bound Root-street car, and when it
reached Halstead street. several men
and boys, with the aid of two or three
women, dragged the young women to
the street. Both were badly beaten
before the police arrived. They were
taken to the hospital. Matte Jasper
was struck with brick, and her face
and forehead badly cut.
The mob remained at short distance
from the car track and continued to
throw stones. A west bound car, which
happened to pass during the trouble,
was struck by several of the missiles,
and two of the passengers, fremont
Sloan and Annie C1odone, were in
sured.
Anton Ahutra, a driver for brew
cry, tried to drive through the crowd
and was hit in the back of the head
with a brick and knocked from his
wagon. His scalp was badly cut, but
otherwise his injuries were not severe.
A call for help had been cent in by
one of the officers, and Lieutenant Plim
and six policemen soon arrived, and at
once charged the crowd, which scat
tered. Policeman Chris Lyons was
knocked down by stone, but was not
badly hurt.
A second riot took place in Root
street, near Princeton avenue, where
seven colored men employed in the
stockyards were attacked by large
crowd Of sympathizers with the stock
yards strikers. John Sims, one of the
colored men, was knocked down and
nearly kicked to death. His kneecap
was fractured, his Jaw was broken,
and he was badly injured about other
portions of his head and severely hurt
in the chest. The police finally dis
pereed the mob and several arrests we're
made

Hillsboro-Agent Hinshaw, of the
Southern Pacific, states that notwith-
standing the short hay and grain crop
this year, the shipments out of Wash
ington county exceed that of any fall
season for years. A part of the heavy
shipments is due to the condensed
milk company, which sends out from
two to three cars each week.

but in an orderly manner. The two
armies are merely keeping in touch
with each other. no fighting of conse-

degrees F., and have been found on the

not neal the floor. Fortunately, the
first accounts are believed to have ex-
aggerated the danger, and We're incor-
rect in stating that the infection could
be carried through the air; but

that it car only be taken in through the

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
Intellectual needs Of the charges com
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With so many children to take care Of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudential Sisters have
found Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from a Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DIR. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir: 60" The young girl who used
the Peruna Was suffering from aryngi-
tbs, and loss of voice. The result of
the treatment vas most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after.
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she is entirely cured"
---Sisters of Charity.
The young girl was under the care of
the Sisters Of Charity and used peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good re-
suits as the above letter t~estifies.

DR.. Hartman, one Of the best known

Peruna. 1t was through his genius and
