JUNCTURE OF soUADRONs.
Prepares for Arrival oil
Port Arthur Warships.

VLADIVOSTOK, Aug. 11.-Prepara-
tions are being completed here for the
reception and protection of the Port
Arthur squadron. The departure Of
the squadron from Port Arthur is gen.
orally interpreted to indicate that the
siege of the fortress is entering on it's
final stage. The smaller ships probably
were left behind on account of their
slow speed and inadequate fighting
power, while the tOrpedo-boat destroy
ers would constitute a constant men
ace to the Japanese fleet outside
1t is believed the purpose of the Rus
scian torpedO-bOat destroyer Ryeshi-
telni in going to Chefu was to notify
Admiral Skrydloff of the sOrtie of the
Port Arthur squadron, in order that he
may dispatch the VladivostOk squadron
to meet the squadron from Port Ar
thur.

CHEFU, Aug. 12.-Japanese naval Of
ficers have committed a grave breach
Of international rights that may at once
involve their nation in difficulties with
China, or, if China fail to act, with the
ally Of Russia. They have attacked,
captured and towed from the harbor
Of Chefu dismantled Russian torpedo
boat destroyer that had been placed
under the protection of the Chinese
Government. The seizure of the vessel
was attended by fierce fight, in which
the Russian commander was killed.
Immediately after the arrival here of
the Ryeshitelni with news that the
Russian fleet had escaped from Port
Arthur, Chinese Admiral Sab boarded
her and demanded that she either dis
arm and disable her engines or leave
port. The captain Of the Russian YES
sci accepted the former alternative.
The Ryeshitelni was dismantled and
was assigned by Admiral Sab to per-
manent anchorage, where she was to
have remained until the end Of the war.
During the night two Japanese tor
pedO-boat destroyers which had fol-
lowed the Ryeshitelni from Port Arthur
stole into the harbOr under cover Of
darkness and showing no lights. When
their presence was discovered. soon
after midnight, they were visited by
the Chinese admiral, with the same de-
mand that had been made to the Rus
sian captain.
RUSSIAN VESSEL ATTACKED.
Ignoring his demand, at $3.50 o'clock
this morning the japanese destroyers,
which were the AsashiO and the Ka-
sunni. sent a boarding party against the
Ryeshitelni. After a fierce fight the
boarding party hoisted the Japanese
flag on the Ryeshitelni and towed her
out Of the harbor in a northerly direc-
ton.
OF her crew of forty-seven, seventeen
have been accounted for. Captain
ShestakOvsky is reported killed. Seven

can Consulate. Some were picked up
by sampans, and three, including a
lieutenant, We're rescued by a light
ship.
The Japanese claim that they sent in
a gig to the Ryeshitelni, under a flag
of truce. a lieutenant and interpreter,
who made a demand that the Russians
come outside and fight, The Russian
captain replied that his ship had been
disarmed, her engines disabled and
that the vessel was in the hands of the
Chinese. The japanese were asked to
investigate the disarmament

said that in his opinion the laborinR

Judge Parker. Among other things,
Debs said:
The rank and file Of the industrial
elements of the country look upon the
Democratic party as having been cap

the Wall street wing Of the party and
that, in the event Of the party's sue

GENSAN, Korea, Aug. 10.-The Rus
slams reached a point two miles distant
from here at noon to-day, but were un-
able to proceed further toward the
town, owing TO the flooded river, TO
cross which requires boats. The Rus
slams attempted to cross at three diff
ferent points, but were repulsed by the
Japanese fire.
After continued attempts for two
hours to effect a crossing. the Russians
retired to Nunpyunk, ten miles distant,
where they camped for the night.

from Anping, thirteen miles east of
Liaoyang. says the Japanese are oc-
cupying HOutsiatze, about fourteen
miles west of Liaoyang. They are
not advancing, but are carefully re-

Two strong Japanese columns are re-
ported to be hurriedly pressing for
ward. one toward Mukden and the
other in the direction of the Yantai

owing to the rain of the past few
days, horses sinking up to their knees

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 11.-At

revising the list of contraband is not

likelihood of any notifications being
made in the Russian declarations at

causes for discomfort among neutral

W ARDEN WILL PROTECT BIRDS
Will Take Position That Game Law
Passed the Legislature.

Eugene, Or, March 14.-Stato
Game Warden Baker Is looking for
some interesting times about next
fall on account OF differences In the
Interpretation OF the law in regard to
the protection OF upland birds, and Il
10 probable the courts may be called
upon TO decide whether the last spe.
cial session did or did not pass an
act amending the state game law.
Mr. Baker takes the ground that the
bill that was acted upon by the legls.
lature became Jaw. and says that next
October, II the killing OF pheasants Is
engaged In. II Is his intention 70 make
arrests In every case that comes under
his observation. He holds that the
btu passed both houses and received
the signature OF the governor. making
II law, and that II Is his business
now TO see that the law Is enforced.
On the other hand. the general bo-
lief is that the bill did not pass. al
though Il was so reported at first. II
was found after the close OF the ses.
sion when everything went with
such hurry and confusion that mis-
take had been made by clerk In
counting the vote. and that. as a mat.
ter Of fact, the bill received one less
vote than enough 10 pass This error
was found after the bill had been re
ported passed and had been signed by
the officers OF both houses and sent to
the governor, who likewise attached
his signature
The general opinion prevails that
the discovery Of the error in the count
and the fact that II had not sufficient
votes in la favor inyaldates the act.
but Mr. Baker takes the ground that
the law did pass, aud Is IN effect. and
that he will attempt 10 prevent any
killing OF upland birds next fall. as
has been allowed by the old law.
