STOCKMEN'S PASSES.
shippers Arc Beginning TO Move Toward
Resaining Their Lost Prielleges.

The stockmen are beginning TO move
toward regaining their lost privilege
OF return transportation. and Lara
ME stockman has written TO Supt.
Sheedy Of the Colorado & Southern nj
Cheyenne about II. The cattlemen hold
that II the railroad company persists In
its agreement mutual with other west
ern roads TO not issue return transport
tation for shippers and assistants, Il
must accept the stock as perlshable
freight and provide men for It's care
during the trip from shipping point to
destination. In the latter case an ordi-
nary guarantee as regards perishable
freight viii be demanded.
II the Colorado & Southern refuses,
then a demand will be made~on the
Burlington, for the ranchmen claim
they cannot pay fare for themselves
and assistants, and II unsuccessful, win
all unite In some general action.
To receive cattle as perishble freight
would be heavy and expensive under
taking for the roads, They would be
compelled to hire men to accompany
shipments and in the end furnish the
transportation for their own men. Be
sides, they would be compelled 10 pay
wages to the caretakers.

EIGHT NEW THEATERS.
David Belasco Says He Will Build
Them in Smaller Cities

David Belasco has no idea OF allowing
his attractions to go roaming around
the country without comfortable thea
tiers to play in. To avoid any such try
ing conditions he Is now arranging to
build eight theaters In eight different
cities In the United States, says the
New York Herald.
Il am not the sort OF man who likes
to boast Of what am going to do
said Mr.. Belasco last night. "and | do
not approve Of building theaters on pa
per. That Is the reason have said
nothing about these new theaters be d.
fore, but for all that everything is
ready to start work on them at once.
There are eight of them, and work
will be begun on them just the minute
j think the situation warrants II. For
that matter, 1 will build a great many
more than eight II need be. | will
build theaters all over the country
rather than be forced to submit to any
unreasonable demands"
OF course eight theaters are a great
many to build and in justice to Mr.. Be-
lasco, II should be stated that he did
not say that he intended to build them
all himself He undoubtedly referred to
capitalists back OF him who stood ready
TO make the investment for Mr.. Be-
lasco's benefit
Il am already well fixed for theaters
in this city, Boston, Philadelphia and
Chicago, and also In London" contin-
ued Mr.. Belssco. "The eight new thea
tiers | refer TO would be In smaller
cities, like Washington. Detroit and
Cleveland. II is also not unlikely that
shall build new theater In London.
The Darling of the Gods has done so
well there that a permanent house for
all the Belasco productions seems 10 be
quite warranted"
AT any rate, my attractions will not
want for places In which 10 appear
Just as soon as they are needed wo
will begin to build the eight theaters
and possibly ten. There Is no lack Of
either capital or inclination. New
York may have too many theaters, but
other cities have not"

ALONG SALT LAKE ROUTE.
Some Horrors OF the Southern Nevada
Desert 10 he Encountered.

Parties from the end OF the railroad
track In southern Nevada report the
dust there as something horrible. There
mas been no rain there for 10 months,
and the constant travel of teams seems
to have pulyeriEed the entire country.
In fact the wagons sink almost hub
deep In the dust which is made worse
by the fierce winds that sweep over
that part OF the state. From Moapa
for 40 miles there is no water beyond a
wen whose waters are saturated with
sulphate OF lime. No man can drink
this water, but horses are able 10 use
1t TO a limited extent. How the rail-
road builders are TO make It go through
that country Is a problem.

RITZvILLE, WASHINGTON. AUGUST II. 1904
Big Fire at Spokane

Fire Tuesday morning practically
destroyed property to the extent of
$780, 900, on Riverside and Sprague
avenues, between Washington and
Bernard streets.
The principal losers are the Grote.
Rankin Furniture company, the E. H.
Stanton Cold Storage company, the T.
E. Westlake grocery and the Bodega
saloon. The fire was fist discovered
at about 4:3O O'Clock in the morning
in the smokehouse located in the center
OF the building occupied by the Stanton
Cold Storage company BY the night en-
gineer, X. j. Huber, who made an at
tempt to put it out, but owing to the
great amount Of grease and meat near
by, the flames spread SO rapidly that it
was impossible for him to do any good,
SO, leaving the building he went to the
saloon next door and sent in an alarm
from there.
BY the time the department arrived
on the scene the flames had gained
such headway that almost the entire
building, which is one story brick, ex-
tending through from Riverside to
Sprague, was in blaze, and rapidly
speadiug to the adjoining property.

Toxic, August l5.-Vice Admiral
kamimura encountered the Russian
Vladivostok squadron at dawn today
north of Tsu island, in the strait OF
Korea, and attacked the enemy al
once. The battle lasted for five hours
and resulted in complete Japanese
victory. The Russian cruiser Rurik
was sunk and the cruisers Rossia and
Gromoboi fled to the northward, after
having sustained serious damage. Vice
Admiral Ramimura cables the navy de.
partment that the injuries inflicted
upon his vessels were slight.
The fate Of the crew of the Rurid
Is not known.
Toxic is joyous over this news, as
it gives Japan mastery of the sea and
restores commerce.
Tienshiuten, Aug 16.-The relative
positions of the Japanese and Russian
armies are unchanged. During the last
few days the Russian positions along
the Mukden road have been steadily
strengthened and it appears as though
General Kuropatkin has planned to
make his final stand at the Liaoyang
position.
Owing to cessation of the rain the
rivers have fallen perceptibly and

The cutting out Of the Russian tor.

mind the Knight Commander incident
Both. however, are receiving the earn.

All the Information received at the

that the japanese torpedo boat de.

pose of ascertaining IL the Ryeshftelni
was really dismantled, and unable to
take part In future operations, that
the Japanese boats crew was attacked
by the Russians and the Japanese re.

the Ryeshitelni was able to continue

GREATEST MODERN BATTLE.
Gloom in Russia Over Crushing Blow
to Warships,

Not since the beginning of the war
between Japan and Russia has any.
thing SO seriously affected Russian
spirits as the gradual revelation Of the
extent of the Port Arthur squadron's
reverse.
Captain Matousevitch makes 1t clear
that the Port Arthur fight probably
was the greatest battle of ironclads
since steel replaced wood in naval con-
struction. The effort Of the Russians
to fight their way through the Japan
ese probably would have been success.
full had 1t not been for the disaster to
the battleship Czarevitvh, which COM
PEELED the squadron to fight second
battle, ending In the dispersal of the
Russian feet in the darkness.
1t Is learned that the awful mortality
among the officers OF the Czarovitch
which was merely stated in the official
report. is due to the fact that Admiral
WithOeft and most OF his officers were
gathered on the bridge during the en-
gagemeht in order to set an example
for and encourage the men, instead Of
remaining in comparative safety in the
coming tower A Japanese shell burst
beneath the bridge, wrecking that part
of the ship and killing or wounding
every officer on duty thereabouts.
One of the most important features
of Captain Matousevitch's dispatch.
aside from Its grimly brief account OF
the battle, is the detailed statement of
the makeup Of Rear Admiral Togo's
fleet. which consisted of six battle.
ships. IL cruisers Of various classes
and approximately 30 torpedo boats.

Port Arthur
Will Soon Fall

st. Petersburg, Aug. 18.-The expec-

is ascribed to the fact that Lieutenant
General Stoessel's wife and children

boat destroyer Ryeshitelni.
A report from Chefoo says the Rus.
