RUSSIA CANNOT BELIEVE 1T.
Japan Held to Have No Right to Offer
Territory to China.

Japan Held to Have No Right to Offer
Territory to China.
st. Petersburg, June 1.-The Rus
sian authorities have not been ad-
vised by M. Lessar, the Russian Mis-
lister to China, of the proposition al
legged to have been made to. China by
Japan to hand over the towns captur-
ed by the Japanese in Manchuria to
the Chinese civil administration, or
even of the refusal of the Pekin gov
eminent to assign the administration
to neutral power.
The foreign Office cannot believe
such a proposition was submitted,
pointing out that while the war Is in
progress the fact that certain terri
tory is occupied by the Japanese does
not necessarily mean it will remain in
their hands. AS belligerant, Russia
would, of course, refuse to recognize
an agreement which might hamper
her military operations, and she does
not believe the powers would consid-
er even for a moment a proposition of
this character.
At the conclusion of the war, If
Japan is victorious, it is considered
that she herself is under pledge not
to undertake., even temporarily, the
civil administration of Manchuria.

MOHAMMHDIANs ARB EXCITED.
Presence of American Ships, However, Is
Having Salutary Influence.


Washington, June 7.-Admiral
Chadwick today cabled to the navy
department that the presence of the
American fleet at Tangier has had a
salutary influence, but the commun-
ity is in state of great religious ex-
citement.
Admiral Chadwick's telegram is un-
derstood to be in reply to certain crit
icisms, mainly from British sources,
upon the wisdom of sending American
warships to Morocco at this juncture.
The religious excitement mention
ed as prevailing among the Moors is
believed here to be incident primarily
to one of the annual Mohammedan
pilgrimages occurring at this season.
Undoubtedly, however, the presence
of the seven American warships at
Tangier, with a promise of rein
forcement if necessary by another
squadron, is regarded as threatening
Moorish integrity and the Moham-
medan religion, and has contributed
to the excitement.

HOOD RIVER-The Hood River
Fruit Company Is a new Hood River
corporation. The company Is capital
lied at $4,000, the stockholders being
Burt Van Horn, of Buffalo, N. Y, A.
A. Jayne and T. A. Decker, of Hood
River. Mr.. Van Horn owns a 4OO-acre
apple orchard in New York. His ap-
pies met with competition in big mar
kets with the Hood River product, and
last November he made a special trip
to this valley to acquaint himself with
conditions here. The result of his in
vest1gation is the recent organization
OF the Hood River Fruit Company.
The company has been formed sole
ly for the purpose of growing COM
merc1al apples. 1t is not a specula-
tive land-dealing scheme, says Mr..
Van Horn. Mr.. Van Horn was for
years prominently connected with the
street railway business in the City of
Bufalo. He expects to spend much
OF his time in Hood River this summer
and fall, except when his other busi-
ness interests take him out of town.
He has let contracts for clearing the
fruit lands he has purchased.
Following are the Hood River farm
ers who made sales of land to the
Hood River Fruit Company: Boyd

Relief for Fort.

Paris, June THE st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Matin says he
learns from trustworthy source
that the advance guard of $4,000 men
under General Stakelberg, sent by
General Kuropatkin to the relief of
Port Arthur, has already reached the
entrance to the Liao Tung Peninsula,
and the bulk of the army is following.
The correspondent of the Matin at

that important movements of Rus
sian troops are proceeding to the
southwark of Tachichao toward Kai

Predicts Its Eariy Fall.

Paris. June THE leading mill
tary authorities here expect the early
fall of Port Arthur, and view this as
most serious, if not an irreparable,
blow to Russia, the present condition
of Port Arthur being compared to
that of Metz and Sedan during the
Frarco-Prussian war. 1t is pointed
out that General Kuropatkin is max
ing the same fatal mistake in regard
to Port Arthur's military ability to
resist that the French made in COD
nection with Metz.

EXPECT BATTLE AT LAO YANG.
Russians Believe Important Develop

ments are Impending.
st. Petersburg, June THE gen.
eral public at the Russian capital is
imbued with the belief that import
ant military developments are i'm
pending at Lao Yang, and that gen.
eral engagement between Kuropat-
kin's and general Kuroki's armies is
imminent. Although the authorities
are doing nothing to discourage the
idea, the best-informed circles at the
war office do not anticipate decis-
i've battle Immediately, unless brought
on more or less Unexpectedly by an
accidental collision between strong
columns, as often happens in war
fare.
The war Offices information does
not indicate that the Japanese have
concentrated for IAN attack on Genet
al Kuropatkin, and it is expected they
are not yet ready to assume the Of
fensive. Nevertheless, it is known
that differences of opinion exist at
the Russian headquarters as to the ad-
visibility of taking the aggressive,
and it is believed this matter was the
subject of conference between the
commander-in-chief and the Viceroy
at Mukden Tuesday.
Kuropatkin's position is becoming
very formidable, both in the number
and character Of troops at his dispos-
al. The condition of some of the ST.
berian reserves when called to the
colors was not satisfactory and
caused Kuropatkin misgivings, but it
is now reported that they have been
drilled into a state of efficiency.
More important, however, are the
large reinforcements of field artil-
lery, in which the Russian army was
especially weak. These have now ar
rived. Nevertheless. Kuropatkin does
not consider himself strong enough
to risk the possibility of defeat
which might be irretrievable and re-
suit in disaster or at least years Of
campaigning. His friends praise his
steady conservatism, caution and re-
fusal to listen to the counsel of the
hotspurs.

REPUBLICANS WIN
ENTIRE STATE TICKET ELECTED BY
A BIG MAJORITY.
Democrats Successful In q Number of
Counties on the Legislative and
County Tickets-Local Option VIII
Carry by 2.OOO-Direct Primary Nom
mating Law Swept the State.

In the election Monday the re-
turns indicate that the republican
state ticket is elected by plurality
of 10000.
In the Second District practically
complete returns indicate that J. N.
Williamson has been reelected by a
plurality of $4,000 votes. In the First
District Binger Hermann will have
more than 1000 votes. Incomplete re-
turns place his plurality slightly un-
Ger that figure.
Incomplete returns from 25 of 33
counties make it certain that the To-
cal option law has carried by a good
majority.e The 1000 votes in Multi
nomah county cast against the meas
ure have already been overcome, and
the law has 1865 votes to spare. It
sis believed complete returns will
greatly enlarge this majority.
The direct primary nominating law
has swept the state by more than TO-
900 majority. Little opposition to the
measure was manifested at the polls.
One of the surprises of the election
was the defeat of B. L. Eddy, of Til
lamook, for circuit judge in the Third
Judicial district, His democratic op-
ponent, William Galloway, of Yamhill,
was elected by plurality of 100.
The democratic candidates for the
legislature have been successful in
few counties. The next Oregon legis-
lature will consist of 73 republicans,
one Independent republican and 16
democrats. This is gain of two re-
publicans over the legislature of 1904.
Twenty-four republicans will have
seats in the senate and six democrats.
In the house of representatives there
will be so republicans and 10 demo-
Gratis.
