WORRYING THH JAPANESE.


st. Petersburg, June 22.-Vice Ad.
miral Skrydloff's message to the en-
peror from Valdivostok, in which he
details the operations of the squadron,
indicates that he has accounted for at
least three Of the Japanese transports
besides a suspected collier. The mes
sage does not indicate the present
whereabouts CT the squadron. The fact
that the collier was sent 10 Vladiyost k
under prize crew might indicate that
the news Of the operations Of the squad
ron was brought there by her and that
the cruisers are still at sea.
The destruction OF an aggregate OF
ID 900 tons Of shipping besides troops
and crews and valuable cargo of cup.
plies is considered here as being a good
showing for the raid made by the cruis-
ers. 1t lie thought that it will have a
moral effect and will besides necessarily
divert considerable section of Vice
Admiral Togo's feet.

RAID STILL ON.
Russian VIadlvOstok Squadron Is Again
Sighted Off Japan.

Toxic, June 22.--The Russian Sibe.
rian squadron from Vladivostok was
sighted again at noon yesterday of
Main island in the sea Of Japan, but
was apparently following out prear.
ranged plan, a4 the vessels steamed al
about ii knots speed slowly toward
the northwest, paying no attention tC
the shores.
Judging by their position in the water,
they are heavily laden and it is sup.
posed that before leaving Vladivostok
on this last trip they filled all of their
reserve bunkers with coal, so that they
can keep out of port for not less than
three weeks.
In spite OF the menace to their trans
port feet the Japanese officials here de-
clare that their Original plans will be
carried out, no matter what the cost
They declare that there is no chance for
the Port Arthur squadron to make q
sortie to join Admiral Skrydloff, as
Admiral Togo has so disposed OF his
ships about the harbor mouth that any
vessels putting out will be sunk before
they are even clear OF the roadstead.

$4,000, was the sight that greeted
scores Of visitors at the Grant Tass

stumbled onto ledge of decomposed
quartz which was more gold than quartz.
He secured a chunk the size Of candle.

claim, where it was mortared and
yielded nearly $500.
Early next morning the family
staked out seven claims and began min
ing. In two hours they had $4,000,
and in one week they had mortared out
$25 900, and Mr.. Briggs reports the
ledge getting better all the time. The
whole amount was taken from an exca-

Toxic Believes Vafangow Battle Cost
the Enemy 10000 Men.
Toxic, June 22.-Further reports re.
ceived here show that the blow in
fiicted by General Oku on the Russians
in the fighting at Telissu (Vafangow)
on June Is, was more severe than at
first was believed. The number Of
Russians killed in this battle probably
will exceed 1000, and theil total losses,
including prisoners, is estimated at
10000. The japanese losses are less
than 1000, or about one tenth Of the
Russian total.
Up to June II, General Oku had
buried / l,5l6 dead and he reports that
many more dead have been found.
Chinese who witnessed the fighting
from the Russian side report that the
Russians removed many dead men from
the trains with their wounded, and
that they buried or cremated many
corpses in the village OF Huasungkou
before they retreated.
The number OF prisoners and trophies
taken by the Japanese is increasing
General Oku is not yet able to repor,
the total number Of prisoners.

Dredge Clears a Passage.

Astoria-The bar dredge Chinook
has not missed day at work on the
Columbia entrance excepting the time
consumed in coaling, since her return
from Portland, and mas accomplished
very much in that time. The record
performance for one day is 5000 cubic
yards or more than 1900 tons. This
is the greatest days work ever done by
a vessel Of her class, and the perform
ance has been highly gratifying to the
officers. The big vessel has materially
deepened the river entrance, and pilots
say that the depth has increased two
feet in some places.

SAYS RUSSIA LOST 1000 MRN.
Wounded Officer Says No Troops Could
Have WithstOod Japanese.


Have WithstOod Japanese.
Niu Chwang, June pa Russian
officer who was wounded in the battle
at Vafangow (Telissu) told an Assoc.
ated Press correspondent that the losses
on both sides were severe. He places
the Russian casualties at least at 900.
He Gays no soldiers in the world could
Withstand the Japanese as they have
been fighting lately. Their artillery
fire, he asserts, is marvelously effective.
The Russians fought stubbornly, des-
perately, but were unable to withstand
the enemy's dashing persistency.
Several hundred wounded Russians
have been sent north, owing to a lack
of hospitals and surgeons. All the
available transpol tstion has to be used
for supplies at the expense Of the sick
and wounded. The japanese buried
most Of the Russian dead after the bat
tie.
1t is estimated on the information
obtainable that the force moving north.
ward is 10000 strong, with 1000 men
in the aggregate engaged in the opera
tions at Port Arthur. Several Japan
ese spies have recently been captured a
few miles south of Niu Chwang.
The Russians are becoming more Wig
liant and are watching newspaper mes
sages closely.

HR Wont TALK
United States Steamboat Inspector caus-
es Sensation In Slocum Case

New York, June 23.-Evidence of q
start ing nature, which doubtless will
have an important bearing on the ulti-
mate result of the coroner's inquiry
into the General Slocum disaster, was
forthcoming at the inquest today.
Perhaps the most unexpected incident
was the continued refusal to answer
questions of Henry ] undberg, United
States steamboat inspector, who was
supposed to have inspected the life pre-
servers and the hull of the ill-fated
steamer. His refusal was based on the
ground that an answer might tend to
incriminate him, and he acted on the
advice of his counsel.
The coroner committed Lundberg to
the house of detention, but later ac-
cepted $500 bail for his appearance at
the hearing tomorrow, which was sat-
isfactory to the assistant district at
toIney.
Second Pilot Weaver, of the Slocum,
testified that he had purchased the fire
hose for that boat, and Mr.. Garvan in
troduced evidence to show that the
price paid was 40 cents foot less so
per cent, or l6 cents per foot net.
BY the use of dynamite and heavy
guns fired by men from the second bat
terry scores of bodies were brought up
from the bottom, around the shores
near North Brother island today.
From sunrise to sunset the searchers
along the beach and IN the boats gath
cred in ll2 bodies, bringing up the
number Of the recovered to date to the
total of S45. OF these 700
have been identified and the missing
are approximated at something more
than 300. Many of the bodies last
found never will be identified. because
of the changes that have taken place
during the week they have been under
the water.

CANADA MAY COME.
Appropriation Of $4,000 for lewis and
Clark Fair.

Portland, June 22.--Canada may
conclude to take an active part in the
Lewis and Clark exposition. While
that government has in the past
seemed disinclined to participate, a
change has been wrought in the
eleventh hour. A bill making an ap.
preparation of $50, 900 is to be intro
duced at once in the Canadian parlla-
ment.
Telergaphic communication to this
effect was received at Iewis and Clark
headqus srters yesterday morning. The
telegram was received from Colonel Ii i.
Z. Dosch, commissioner general, who
recently went to Ottawa to interest the
Canadian officials in the fair. 1t was
addressed to Director General Goode,
but, as Mr.. Goode has been out of the
city for week past, the message was
received by Secretary Henry Reed.
The message is as follows:
"After many consultations and inter-
views, outlook for Canada's participa-
tion is favorable. Ministers will ask
parliament for $50 ,000."
This news was pleasant surprise to
fair officials, who had all but given up
hope of getting the Canadian govern
ment interested. All communications
sent to Ottawa and to Canadian officials
had been courteously replied to, but
the tone Of the replies was not encour-
aging. There seemed to be dispoei-
tion on the part of the Canadian people
to concentrate their efforts on making
fine exhibit at the fair in Belgium,
which takes place next year, almost
simultaneously with the Lewis and
Clark exposition.
In the event parliament makes the
appropriation asked for, it is thought
the province of British Columbia can
be brought into line. 1t is known that
British Columbia has been holding back
to see what reception the exposition
will get from the general government
before taking any action. Favorable
action from the general government
will, therefore, it is believed, insure
the participation Of British Columbia
aa province.

WARNED THR CORRESPONDENT,
Japan Told Emerson 1t COu'd Not Quar-
antee His Safety.

hntee MS SaIety.
Seattle, June 23.-The facts leading
up to the shooting of Colonel Edwin
Emerson, Jr., wal correspondent of the
New York World and the Seattle Post
lntelligenceI in the Far East, are relat-
ed by r. l.. Dunn, correspondent in
Corea, for an American weekly maya
zine, who reached this city tonight.
Mr.. Dunn made this statement after
being informed that Colonel Emerson
was dead:
Colonel Emerson, as a military
man, was we'll aware OF the positions
occupied by Japanese soldiers. Some
time ago he made the announcement
that he intended to go through the
Russian lines and work from that want
age point.
when ii came to the ears OF the
japanese military authorities that
Emerson intended to take this step, an
officer approached another representa-
tive of Emerson's papers and informed
him If he took such step the govern
ment could scarcely be further respon-
sible for his safety.
IL contemplated move similar to
that outlined by Emerson" said Mr..
Dunn, "but the Japanese made il clear
to me that it would not be wise for me
to proceed.
Emerson held papers which would
have carried him through the Russian
lines in safety. In view Of these facts
l am inclined to think the real story of
his death has not been learned"
