RUSSIA WILL WIN.
Opinion of Ships Officers from the Far
 East.

Astoria, Oregon, April 23.-The off, cers of the steamship Indrasamha arr irving this afternoon from the far eastern points do not share the belief that Japan will defeat Russia in the war now in progress. They say Rus sin will soon recover from the first deefats administered by the Japanese on water and will turn the tables on the Mikado's subjects.
 The vessel brings two Japanese mill lionaires en route for the worlds fair at St. Louis. These gentlemen are sanguine as to the outcome of the war and through an interpreter expressed their conviction that Japan will anni- hilate the Russians on land and sea.
 The 1ndrasamha brings a wonderful cargo of Japanese exhibits for the St. Louis and Portland fairs.

KUROPATKIN'S ORDER

St. Petersburg. April 2S.-The Rus sians have placed guns in positions covering the crossings O. the YRlu riY- CT While General Kuropatllin desires that the Japanese shall enter Man churia he purposes that they shall pay as dearly as possible for the privilege, but without precipitating n general en- gagement. Major General Kashtsl- linsky is anxious to engage the enemy, and he begged General Kuropatkin for privilege to do so, but the commander in-chief strictly forbade even small skirmishes where it is possible to avoid them. This is understood to mean that General Kuropatl<in intends to deliver the decisive battle himself
 Iii the meantime the cavalry and ar tillery at the front are engaged in con- stant drill and reconnaissance.
 Something of a sensation was caused here this afternoon by the report spread far and wide that the Chinese minister Hoo Wei Teh, was packing up prepara- tory to departing from St. Petersburg, and visions of immediate war were con- iured up.
 The Associated Press investigated the rumor and ascertained that the only foundation for it was in the fact that the minister has taken a summer cot tage at Getshina, thirty miles from St. Petersburg, for which place he will shortly leave the capital.
 The story that an attempt was made on General Kuropatkins life by two disguised Japanese while the command er-in-chief was in New Chwang a few days ago. is confirmed. They wore false queues. One of them reached for a dagger. but was feIleG by one of two Cossacks. who always accompany the general.

General Sickles believes God in his

and they shall beat their swords into

The greatest promises in the Bible

The WYOMING cAmPaieS.

MORD COMES FROM WYOMING
" that the Democrats Of that state
are going into the campaign Of 1904
more united. more aggressive and more
hcreful than they have been for years.
The ticket nominated at Rock Springs
is composed of candidates who are
recognized as among the ablest and
most popular citizens of Wyoming.
There is no reason why every Demo-
crat in the state should not vote for
them. And there are many reasons why
they should receive the support Of Re-
pUblicans who think more Of the vel
fare of their state than of their party.
Judge Samuel r. Corn Of Cheyenne,
chief justice of the Wyoming supreme
court, recently nominated to succeed
himself on the bench. was in Salt Lake
the other DAY visiting his brotheF-in-
law, n! G. Mcmillan. Judge Corn is
more than hopeful for the success Of
the entire ticket. He viii take no part
in the campaign himself because he
believes judges should not mingle in
political battles. But he is taking a
lively and "A natural interest in the
outcome Speaking OF conditions in
Wyoming, Judge Corn said:
1T is gratifying that Governor Os-
borne agreed to make the race for
governor, even at great sacrifice of
his personal interests, HIS decision
has encouraged the Democrats all over
the state and a good canvass will be
made. OF course. we have a Repuh-
Iican majority of 1900 10 overcome. and
the Democrats are scattered over such
wide stretch Of territory that it is
big task to reach them all in the course
of a campaign. Fortunately, though
the Republicans are rent into two war
ring factions, and the Democrats ex-
pect to profit by this condition."
There is very general impression
in Wyoming that even if the Demo-
cratic ticket should be defeated Judge
Corn viii almost surely be elected. This
because OF the splendid record he has
made on the supreme bench. He took
the office untrammeled by friends to re-
ward or enemies to punish. and his de-
cisions have been models of fairness
and ability. Judge COrn's friends are
by no means confined TO his own party.
a good man when they see
one, the people of Wyoming are likely
10 keep him on the bench as long as
he cares to remain there.

COPPER AND TYPHOID.

nR. GEORGE T. MOORE, in charge
~ of the laboratory of plant physioI-
ogy of the department of agriculture,
announced some time ago that copper
sulphate in reservoirs would destroy
typhoid germs. His discovery has
brought forth a host Of critics who pre-
tend to believe that the copper sulphate
would be injurious to human health,
but the doctor laughs at the sugges-
ton. His reply is conclusive enough.
'The amount of copper sulphate used
as q germicide would be one part in. a
million; grain has more copper in it
than that, and there could be no posi-
BILE harm from the use of water treat
ed as he suggested.
To show that the use of copper in
typhoid fever cases is not new

lowing letter, which the department re-
ceived last May from DR.. Lucien NJ.

THE mArNs ELECTION

It HERE IS MORE than a crumb OF
comfort for the Democrats in the
returns from the Maine elections. The
latest reports show that the majority
given Mckinley in 1900 has been cut
down by several thousand votes. The
Democrats made marked gains in the
legislature and carried several coun-
ties IN which they had not before had
any prospect of victory. If Maine is
a good political barometer, and our Re
putHcan friends insist that it is, Judge
Parker hes a fTst-rate chance to be
elected president oe the United States.
But NermOnt's returns afford the
Democrats no satisfaction. except as
they remember the tremendous effort
made by the Republicans 10 increase
the vote in that state. And when we
consider the fact that. i'm spite of all
the Oratory that was turned loose. i'm
spite of all the money that was spent.
the Republican vote was increased by
only few hundreds. there is little rea-
son for Democratic discontinue. And
even if Maine had gone Republican by
100000 majority and Vermont likewise.
there would stiHN be hope of a Demo-
cratic victory in the nation in Novem-
Der.
Both Maine and Vermont are stauch-
ly Republican states. They may be de-
pended upon 10 return a Republican
