DalDy Has Fallen Into the Hands Of
the japanese.
Chicago, May ia special to the
Daily News from Chefoo says: When
the Daily News dispatch boat Fawan
arrived off Dalny early this morning a
heavy bombardment was in progress.
As the channel was thickly mined
by the Russians, and Japanese Admiral
Kattakao had issued strict orders that
noncombatants' boats were to be ex-
cluded, it was impossible to get within
the roadstead. Hence an accurate re-
port of the proceedings rs impossible.
As far as it was possible to ascertain
the armored cruiser Yakumo, four other
cruisers, one gunboat and one battle
ship, having cleared the channel, en-
tered the harbor shortly after daylight
and began heavy fire. The land bat
teries were silenced.
1t is estimated that 20 900 Japanese
troops are investing the town and there
is every reason to believe that they are
now in possession of the city.

AMERICAN AVRRTS CLASH.
Military Observer Prevents Russians
From Firing on Own nen.

Mukden, May 1S.-Lieutenant Col
onel Schuyler, U. S. A, military OBJ
server with the Russian army, arrived
here today and after an interview with
Viceroy Alexieff, left for Lao Yang in
the afternoon.
1t appears that William B. Judson,
of the United States engineer corps,
who is an observer with the Russian
army, helped to avert clash between
parties of Russians during the Russian
reoccupation of the railroad after the
Japanese had cut it at Poliade. When
the Japanese had temporarily retired
from the railroad, train with two
companies of sappers was sent south
from Lao Yang. Captain Judson was
aboard. When the train reached a
break in the line body of troops were
seen and they were supposed to be Jap
anese. Sharpshooters were thrown out,
and preparations were made to swoop
down On the enemy. Captain Judson
through his glasses recognized the Rus
sian uniforms and the troops proved to
be party sent up the line from the
south.

for Governor OF Alaska

Brady Appears to Have Best Of Race
for Governor OF Alaska.
Washington, May IT. - Governor
John G.. Brady, of Alaska, whose term
expires June 6, will PROBABLY be ap-
pointed to succeed himself. When in
Washington recently, he talked over
the situation with the president and
his prompt departure, coupled with the
remarks he made to several friends,
leads to the conclusion that he is salts
fed he will have another term of office.
Secretary Hitchcock, it is understood,
is not we'll satisfied with Brady, but as
the president is personally interested
in the governor and believes him hon
est, as we'll as competent, the secre-
tary will raise no objection. Several
men are in the field against Brady, in
Guiding National Committeeman John
g. Held, of Juneau; William T. Perk-
ms, auditor of the Northwestern Com
mercial company and the company's g
agent at Nome, and Oliver Roberts, of
San Francisco. Held is supposed to
have number of congressional indorse-
ments. including Senator Mitchell.
Perkins has the Endorsement of several
senators who visited Alaska last sum-
mer. and Roberts is backed by MEM
bers OF the California delegation.
These men all have applications on
file.

NOT TIMH FOR PEACE TALK.

Germany Thinks tho Emperor Must Re-
Establish His Prestige.
Berlin, May 17.-Nothing is known
at the foreign Office regarding the report
telegraphed from Berlin that there is a
strong probability Of peace through the
war party urging the czar to end the
trouble. It is pointed out in serious
political circles, knowing the view of
the foreign Office, that the time is not
yet ripe for peace efforts. The German
government is aware that strong cur
rents In France and Great Britain are
working for peace, and that even politi-
cal influences in Russia are moving in
the same direction. It is admitted
here that these efforts would be mater
tally strengthened if the Russians sue
ceeded in checking the Japanese ad-
vance at Hukden.
However, Russia cannot be satisfied
with a mere negative result of the mill
tary operations. The government of
Emperor Nicholas feels the necessity
for re-establishing it's prestige, and
only after several decisive victories for
the Russian arms could the Russian
emperor entertain proposals for media
tion.

EXCLUSION LEGAL
UNITED STATES HAS RIGHT TO DE-
PORT ANARCHISTS.
Opinion Rendered by United States Su.
preme Court In the Case OF Turner,
the English Anarchist-Chief Justice
Says Act Is Not Open to Constitu-
uonal Objection.

Washington, May 18.-In an opinion
today by Chief Justice Fuller, the
United States supreme court sustained
the action of the immigration authori-
ties at the port of New York in order
ing the deportation of the Englishman.
Turner, alleged to be an anarchist.
The chief justice said in his opinion
that Turner himself did not deny that
he is an anarchist. The opinion up
held the law for the exclusion of an
archists, and affirmed the decision of
the circuit court for the southern dis
trict of New York, which refused writ
of habeas corpus for Turner.
Chief Justice Fuller, in his opinion,
first reviewed the facts in the case, IN
cluding the claim of Turner that he is
a lecturer on sociological questions,
also that his counsel contended that he
was an anarchist in theory merely.
He then referred to the fact that Turn
er's counsel attacked the immigration
law as unconstitutional on the ground
that it is in contravention of the first,
fifth and sixth amendments and also
section one of the constitution, because
mo power is delegated by the constitu-
tion to the general government over
alien foreigners with reference to their
admission to the United States or other
wise, or over the beliefs of citizens,
denizens, sojourners or aliens or over
the freedom of speech of the press.''
Ali of these contentious were mega
tived by the decision of the chief just
ice, who said, among-other things:
"Whether rested on the accepted
principle of international law that
every sovereign nation has the power
as inherent in sovereignty and essential
to self prese1 vation, to forbid the en-
trance of foreigners within it's dominion
or to admit them only in such cases
and on such conditions as it may see fit
to Prescribe, or on the power to regulate
commerce with foreign nations, which
includes the entrance of ships, the i'm
portation of goods, and the bringing of
"ersons into the ports of the United
States, the act before us is not open to
constitutional objection. Nor is the
manner in which congress has exercised
the right, although wher such case
arises, the objection may be taken"

MA WAITING FOR HIM.
japanese Plan to Drive Kuropatkin into
Hands Of Chinese General

japanese Plan to Drive kuropatkin Into
Hands Of Chinese General
St. Petersburg, May 1s.-In view Ct
the official dispatches regarding the
hostile attitude of the Chinese within
and without the Russian sphere of in
luence, the authorities here do not
conceal their apprehension az to the
outlook, especially in the north of the
empire, for they propose to call the at
tention of the Celestial government to
the impending uprising in Tapadziasti,
in order that repressive measures may
be instantly taken.
It is known and appreciated here
that all the powers have made strong
representations to Pekin in the interest
of the preservation of the tranquility of
the empire, but it is stated that Major
General Pfug's dispatch of May IA
shows the necessity for further impress
ing the Celestial government with the
advisability of acting with firm hand.
The authorities here do not forget that
the Boxer revolt which spread from
Shantung would have involved the en-
tire empire had it not been fol the firm
ness of the southern viceroys.
The military authorities in St.
Petersburg claim to have information
of sensational character to the effect
that the Chinese have tacitly agreed to
cooperate with the Japanese operations
against the Russians.
The Japanese propose, it is stated, to
drive General Kuropatkin's forces into
Mongolia, which would place the Rus
SLAMS in the position of invaders of
neutral territory and enable reprisals
by General Mas army, which, it is as
serted, 10 kept in that region for that
special object, thus cleverly avoiding
the slightest infringement of the neu-
trality of China by Japan, and the Chi
nese troops, by not crossing the Man
churian frontier, could not be charged
with a violation of pledges in respect
to noninterference in military opera
tions in Manchuria.
The opinion of an eminent strategist
given to the Associated Press today is
that the Japanese intend to attack not
only Liao Yang, but all along the line,
in an effort to drive General Kuropat
kin into Mongolia, where the Chinese
are waiting for him.

All Well at Vladivostok.

St. Petersburg, May 1.-THE admi-

Grand Duke Alexis, the high admi-
raj, has been at Cronstadt since yester-
day with Vice Admiral Rojestvensky,

The admiralty admits having re-
ceived message from Port Arthur sew
eral days old, in which Rear Admiral
Wittsoeft reported everything was as

Deems American Treaty Bad.

New York, May 17.-speaking to the
agrarians in the upper house of the
Prussian diet, Professor Schmoeler has
expressed the wish, cables the Berlin
correspondent of the Times, that Chan
cellor Van Bulow would dissolve the
commercial treaty with the United
States. He urged consideration of the
matter, but no action until after the
elections. Professor Schmoe-
Ter said he was opposed to the disolu-
tion of the Argentine republic treaty,
because that country would be driven
into the arms of the United States.

Better Wool, Worse Mutton.

Pendleton-The fact that 1915 and
more was realized for dry ewes and two
year olds, two and three years ago,
while buyers are not offering more than
81 for the same class of stock now, is
not altogether due to conditions in the
mutton market, though prices have
fallen considerably. The tendency of
Umatilla county sheepmen to breed for
wool since good prices prevailed is low
ering the mutton qualities. Sheep
bred for selling purposes usually have
coarser, lower grade weol than those
raised for their deecss.

Irrigation In Colorado.

Washington, May 1s.-The census
bureau in report on irrigation in COL
orado says: Notwithstanding the ia
vorable conditions, the construction of
irrigation works in 1902 progressed
rapidly, and the yer shows consider.
able increase in the irrigated area. It
is probable, however, that many hum
dreds of acres reported as irrigated did
not receive sufficient water to produce
full crops. Colorado still holds first
place among the arid states in the exc
tent of its irrigated acreage and in the
length of it's canals and bitches.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
FIRST CLIPS SOLD.
Securing Mill ut The Dalles Working
Night and Day.

Night and Day.
The Dalles-The securing mill in
this city is now running double clew
of sorters daily, and the mill night and
day, turning out 5000 pounds of
secured product every "a hours. The
wool purchases made thus far have
been from stations along the line of the
Northern Pacific in Yakima county,
and at Columbia river points, such as
The Dalles, Arlington and Echo, where
the scaled bid plan that was inaugural
ed in the state three years ago does not
obtain. The fret clips shorn are near
ly all from the warm Columbia river
ranges, which woods are more or less
earthly and are sought only by dealers
in the secured product.
There seems to be no disposition on
the part of the growers to hold this
class of wool, and buyers are apparent
ly glad to take them, as they are being
absorbed by the dealers as fast as they
are offered.
The choice Eastern Oregon woods
sought for shipping in the grease,
which are grown back in the interior,
are now being sown. This class that in
former years was marketed at The
Dalles, and gave this city the distinc-
tion of receiving and shipping more
wool direct from the grower than any
other place in the United States, has,
since the completion of the Columbia
Southern railway been transferred to
Shaniko. There the woods are all
offered under the sealed bid system.
The first sale there is set for June 2,
the second for June IA, and the third
and last for July l..
Pendleton leads off with the first
sealed bid sale of the season on the 23d
instant, and Heppner follows on the
26th with its first sale. The other two
points in the state where woods will be
offered upon sealed bids a1e Baker City
ON June II, and Elgin on June %.

UNIMPORTANT BUT TRUE.
Russian General Staff Not Alarmed at
Blockade of Port Arthur.

Paris, May 1S.-The correspondent
at St. Petersburg of the Echo de Paris
says the general staff considers the
blockade OF, Port Arthur as unimport
ant. The correspondent adds that he
is informed that the railway has beer
destroyed since May l over q distance
of % miles.
General Kuropatkin, he declares,
seems more confident, though it ap-
pears that he still has serious differ.
ence with Vicroy Alxieff, who has COM
plaind in a telegram to the emperor,
which did not pass through the hands
of tho military censorship, that Kuro-
patkin does not heed his orders or ad.
vice. It is the general desire that
Kuropatkin shall be the sole head OF
military operations.
The feeling in St. Petersburg, the
correspondent says, is strong against
Sweden on account of the precautionary
measures taken by that power in min
ing harbors.
1t is rumored here that submarine
boats have been bought by Japan to
lay in ambush in the Vladivostok road
stead. which already has been mined
for the passage of Rear Admiral Retset-
vensky's squadron. Every p1ecaution
will be taken.
According to an evening paper the
Japanese are using improved torpe6oes
invented by Frenchman named Remy.
who offered his invention to the Rus
sian embassy when war was threatened,
but met with a refusal, sold it to the
Japanese. Remy is said now to be in
Japan.
