NEW FISH AT YAoUlNA.
An Exchange Has the Following Fish
Story From Elk City, Ore.

A peculiar run of unknown fish in
Elk river has been noticed this year.
Old settlers along the river declare they
have never before observed anything
similar to 1t. The fish moved only at
night their presence not being dis
cernable by day. Fishermen and sports
men passing up and down the river
by boat at night noticed the schools of
fish passing through the water and
leaping over rifles. They seemed to
be something the shape and size of a
10 or 15-pound silver salmon and in
their actions resembled that fish.
The fish soon attracted the attention
of every one along the stream, and
plans were laid to solve the mystery
as to their identity. All attempts to
catch them with hook, line or traps
failed so shooting them was tried,
Every device proved a failure and dur
ing the three weeks of the run not
single specimen was captured.
Elk river connects with Yaquina
river. which empties into the ocean,
and consequently some of the people
here think that 1t was a run of shad,
thing hitherto unknown on the Yaquina
river. If that fish has appeared here
and It's visit should become a regular
thing 1t will be of great value to this
section.

TOO PROUD TO ASK AID.
Young Lady Subsisted on Scraps
Picked Up in Park.

New York, Sept. 2.-The arrest Of
Harriet Barnes in Central park has
developed a peculiar case of destitu-
ton. The woman is 80 years old. a
stenographer and says her parents re-
side In Toledo, o. Three weeks ago
she ran out Of funds and since then
has lived in the park, subsisting on
scraps thrown away by picnickers.
When arrested for vagrancy she was
almost famished and slightly out of her
mind from exposure.
Miss Barnes said she came here a
year ago and worked steadily until
April when she lost her position. I'm
able to procure another, her furniture
was soon seized for debt and finally
she found herself homeless and pen
niless. Too proud to seek the assist
ance of friends she wandered about
Central park and finally was driven by
hunger to pick up remnants of lunches
from the ground. During the three
weeks she spent in this manner, the
woman slept in out of the way places
and washed her clothing in the lakes
at night The mosquitoes bit her in a
frightful manner and when she was
received at the hospital the doctors
said the insects had caused serious in
jury by their poison.
AS soon as her plight became known
friends came to her aid.

NIGHT BATTLE CRANE SCENE
Ancient Watch Tower Destroyed
by Japanese Artillery After
Standing for a Tbous-
and Years.

st. Petersburg, Sept 2. $40 a. M
A delayed dispatch to the Official Mes
scnger from Lao Yang under date Of
August 81 gives some details Of the
three days fighting from August 49,
The dispatch fails. however, TO throw
additional light on the state Of tele-
graphic communication because 1t ar
rived Thursday morning, too late for
publication Nevertheless 1t Is among
the last communication before the
| suspenslan Of press messages. The
dispatch indicates that the Russians
were holding out well and probably
could not be disloaged without Gen
eral Kuroki's flank movement.
The correspondent states that he was
with a battery on Koulack hill to the
left OF the railway line at dawn Mon
day, when the japanese guns opened.
1T was. he continues, "a sumultan-
eous salute by hundreds Of cannons
and during the first hour the firing
was simply terrific. We were under
perfect rain Of shrapnell billets and
splinters and shells. The Japanese
did not know the country or the loca-
tion OF our defenses. 10 they ccnstaa.-
+ " shifted their batteries, trying to
search out our positions.
"It was In the course of these man
euvers that Koulack hill became an
object OF interest to the japanese ar
tillerymen The sight was beau
tiful but terrifying one. Although we
were well masked and tolerably pro-
| tected, the sides Of our hill were rent
and torn by bursting shells dirt. dust
and rocks filed the air: sand and
smoke hung lige a golden halo over
head. We watched the shells fall upor
| the ruins OF the thousand year old
watch tower where they completed the
ravages Of the centuries.
"The japanese got our range and
tried to enfilade US from a village on
the right. Here we had the advantage
in knowing the ranges and simply
smothered them with shells. Conse-
quently the Japanese withdrew hur-
riedly. A second attempt to enfilade
us was made at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, but again 1t failed. We swept the
Chinese cornfields whence the fire
came and turned out the japanese
gunners like nest Of angry wasps
Our rifle brigade held the village OF
Maitung against the rolling waves OF
Japanese infantry thrown out against
the position time and again until our
reserves swept down and cleared the
front at the point of the bayonet
''The roar of the fight was not stop
ped by darkness. The scene became
infinitely more beautiful as the hills
were lighted by the glare from fame
splitting batteries which had been
scarcely visible In the daylight. Each
of the thousands of shells became a
pyrotechnic spectacle while lines OF
fire racked and quivered back and forth

RUSSIANS AGAIN AT SEA
vLADlvosTok SQUADRON ON AN.
OTHER RAID ALONG EAST
COAST OF JAPAN.

Toxic, July 21.--The Vladivostok
squadron has overhaaled a Japanese
steamer eastward of Tsugar straits.
The name Of the vessel captured and
its fate have not yet been learned.
The Russian squadron, unaccompa-
MED by torpedo beats, entered the
Pacific ocean at z a. m. Its destina-
ton is unknown, hut it is suggested
that it possibly plans to raid the east
coast of Japan and then either return
to Yladivostok, escaping to the south
ward, or attempting to form a junction
with the Port Arthur feet.
The squadron was discovered in the
straits of Tsugar at a. m. steaming
rapidly eastward. At $3.50 a. m. it
was reported off Tappi cape and at
a. m. observers at Hakodate discern
ed it and reported to Toxic that it was
then steaming to the east.
Warnings have gone out to shipping
along the eastern coast of Japan and
merchantmen are hurriedly seeking
cover. 1t is expected that most of the
shipping will be warned before the
Russian vessels can inf1ict serious
damage if raid is proposed.
Ordinarily a lack of coal would pre-
vent an extended cruise, but it is pos
sible that the Russians possess a col
lier at rendesvouz in the Pacific

INDIGNATION.

London, July 21.-The further de-
tails received from Port Said describ-
ing the situation on board the PENN
sular and Oriental company's steamer
Malacca, seized in the Red sea by the
Russian volunteer vessel st. Peters
burg, fail to give any reason for the
seizure and only serve to infame the
British feeling. The officials Of the
company reiterate their denial that the
Malacca was carrying contraband Of
war and reaSsert that the explosives
on board were British government
stores consigned to the naval COM
mander at Hongkong.

REFLECTS OFFICIAL VIEWS.
st. Petersburg Paper Discusses Stop
Pima of Neutral Vessels.

0Is FSteISDuiU FdPcT discusses 0tOps
ping of Neutral Vessels.
st. Petersburg. July 21.-The Russ
publishes an editorial statement of
Russia:s position relative to the stop
ping of neutral ships in the Red sea
by vessels of the volunteer fleet. There
is great interest in the statement be-
cause it is believed to reflect directly
the views of the foreign Office It fol-
lows:
''The operations of the converted
cruisers Smolensk and st. Petersburg
are causing tremendous excitement in
England. Questions are being asked
in parliament, the newspapers are ap-
pealing to the public and there is a
panic among shipoWners. There is
also a good deal of talk in Germany be-
cause of the seizure OF mails on the
steamer Prinz Heinrich, but the most
noise there is being made by the ex-
tremist organs, the others treating the
matter coolly. It is a pity the English
do not display the same Teutonic
calmness.
1t is easy to understand the British
merchant marine feels these restric-
tions severely. AS result of the
stopping and searching of vessels
English ships either must give up
transporting contraband or continue
at their own risk and peril in time
of war between two powers. Others
are bound to suffer more or less, as
it is impossible to check contraband
without search.
'.In regard to the detention of the
Prinz Heinrich's mails, details have
not yet reached st. Petersburg. Com
prehensive discussion of the incident
is, therefore, impossible; but it must
be pointed out the official correspond
ence Of a belligerent is contraband.
Consequently, if the Prinz Heinrich
carried Japanese diplomatic and con-
sular reports she wa liable to seizure
OF course whether she did or not the
correspondence can be inspected to
determine this facts

Files Protest at St. Petersburg
Against Russian Action
In the Red Sea.
Ship Carried Government Sup
plies for Hong Kong Ma

| 81 Petersburg, June 21.-sir Charles
Hsrringe. the British ambassador to
klARa. in behalf of his government
has presented a strong protest to Rus
sia against the seizure in the Red sea
and detention of the Peninsular and
Oriental steamer Malacca, which was
carrying 800 tons of British govern
ment stores for the naval establish
ment at Hongkong, each case of which
was marked with the broad arrow,
which is the government stamp.
The ambassador also presented
general protest against the action of
the Russian volunteer fleet steamers
in the Red sea-
The protest was in the form of
verbal note made in conformity with
telegraphic instructions from the Brit
ish government.
Russia seems prepared for any rep
RESERVATIONS Great Britain will make
on the subject of stopping ships in
the Red sea. 1t is understood that be-
fore sending the cruisers there the
Russian authorities became satisfied
! through an elaborate system Of espion-
age that an immense amount of con-
traband was going from England
through the Red sea to Japan, SO they
decided to stop the traffic. 1t is un-
derstood that If this traffic is diverted
to the Cape route the Russian admiral
ty is prepared to send ships to the
Cape Of Good Hope. II Great Britain
objects to the passage Of the Dar-
danelles by more vessels Of the volun-
teer fleet the ships intended for cruis-
ers off the Cape may be sent from the
Baltic.

RUPTURE is INEVITABLE.
france Makes Decisive Demand on the
Vatican.

Paris, July 21.-The text of Foreign
Minister Delcasse's note addressed to
the Vatican was communicated to the
council of ministers during the day.
It creates a decisive issue, asking for
the withdrawal of the letters by which
the Vatican called for the designations
of Bishops Geay of LAVAL and Nordez
Of Dijon. Otherwise all relations be-
tween France and the Vatican will be
5roken off,.
A similar notification was commune
fated to the papal nunciatur here.
The Vatican's answer has not yet been
received. It is expected that the ques-
lion will be maturely considered be-
fore an answer is given. Therefore
the council does not anticipate de-
termination of the issue before Aug
nst. The officials incline to the belief
that a rupture is inevitable, as unof-
fetal advices from Rome indicate that
the Vatican does not intend to comply
with the request to withdraw the let
ters calling for the designations Of the
bishops.

EXPECTED.
Packers Agree to Joint Conference
in an Effort to Settle
the Strike.
Said Before the Meeting That
Neither Side Would Con-
cede Anything.

Chicago, July 21.-A joint confer.
ence to attempt a new settlement Of
the big stock yards strike has been
agreed to by the packinghouse pro.
prietors. The agreement was reported
at meeting in the stock yards Office
of Armour & Co., at which represen.
tatives of all the packinghouses were
present. The purpose Of the meeting
was to consider an appeal made to the
packers by representatives of trades
employed in the packinghouses, such
as teamsters, engineers and electric.
ians, who might be affected by sym.
pathetic strike in aid Of the butchers
and unskilled workmen who consti.
tute the bulk of the army of men al.
ready out.
At the meeting of representatives
of the various packing firms the entire
strike situation was talked over and it
was agreed that the packers should
adhere to their original programme
that the new nonunion men and the
union men who have deserted the strik-
ers to return to work should be re-
tanned in case settlement were af-
fected.
AS soon as the consent of the pack
ers to joint conference was known
President Donnelly of the butchers or
ganization called meeting of labor
chiefs to convene at the Sherman
House prior to the joint conference
with the packers. At this session the
federationists selected their represen-
fofi fN fhN oh ;oS,
conference.
Independent Packers in Fight.
President Donnelly of the butchers
union made the specific statement be-
fore going into the joint conference
that the Independent packers and the
strikers were working hand in hand
against the trust packers.
Unless the packers meet us half
way he said, they will find a hard
business road ahead. There is no
prospect Of peace at present that
can see. We have no further conces-
sions to offer and we shall insist that
all the strikers be taken back to
work"
1t was intimated by President Don
nelly that the Independent packers of
pose of giving the strike fund assist
ance to the extent of as much as
$1,00O,000 if needed, putting the dona-
tion on a per capita basis to be paid
in small allotments
In case the allied trades officers
should authorize sympathetic strike
of their unions the plan is to ask aid
of the Freight Handlers and Switch
mems unions. The strikers asserted
that with these organizations refusing
to handle n6nunion goods and refus-
ing to switch cars laden with, such
goods the fight would be won.
The packers assert that they are
daily increasing their operations, Ar.
mour & Co., Swift's and Nelson Nor
ris & Co. declaring they intend to kill
an aggregate of 5000 cattle before
night
