has purchased one of the large
safes used for many years by the
firm of A. & S. Thistle. Mr.. Geish
certainly got a great bargain in
his investment, as it only cost him
So. Aside from the two doors on
the inside being a little warped,
it is almost as good as new. The

JAPAN ANXIOUS.
To Know How the Powers Will Take
 Her Arrangement With Korea.

TokiO, Feb. 27.-Japan' has assumed a protectorate over Korea in an inn
 portant protocol signed at Seoul, in which it is specifically stipulated by Japan that she respects Korea's terri tOrial integrity, the sovereignty of the king and the independence of the country. Korea on its part agrees to follow the advice of Japan internally and abroad. to permit Japanese mili- tary occupation for the purpose of pre- serving order and insuring the protec- tion and independence of the country Korea also agrees to refrain from making agreements with other powers
 in violation of the terms of the proto-
 col. Following this, assurances are given respecting the integrity of China
 leaving the hands of Japan clear in the
 question of any conquest in disputed territory.
 This action undoubtedly strengthens
 the position of Japan abroad and pos sibly will have the effect of shortening the war because it places Russia in the position Of fighting to hold Manchuria. The Japanese troops are already in possession of the country and appar-
 ently capable of resisting Russia's in Vasion. In spite, however. of Korea s inability to offer any opposition in the face of this situation Japan voluntari- ly offers to guarantee her integrity and merely asumes q protectorate. Great interest is felt here as to how
 the powers will receive the news that Japan and Korea have signed the pro- i tocol. No doubt is held as to the ap- | proval of Great Britain and the United | States.
 1 Belgian, French and German sub- ! jects, as well as representatives oi l companies conducted officially by Rus sians, have been pressing for concess- l ions which may be affected by the al- tered status of Japanese and Korean i relations.

BADGER CAPITOL BURNED
The Seat of Government May Be
 Moved to Milwaukee

Madison, Wis, Feb. 27.-The Wis ccnsin state capitol building WAS damaged to the extent of about sS00.- eco today. The fire involved the build ing of new capitol and a special ses- ion of the legislature and probably renewal of the agitation in favor or a removal of the capitol from Madison to Milwaukee.
 The fire was caused by defective electric wiring. The insurance was S6,Oo0. Fire apparatus was sent from Milwaukee. Fire Chief Bernard was overcome by smoke and fell from 4 ladder, receiving serious injuries. He is now unconscious.
 One of the most serious losses bF the fire was the destruction of th- Grand Army room. together with zu the records of the department of Wis. consin and Lucius Faifchild Post ef this city. "Old Abe the famous E=f eagle, and all records. mementOes and relics of the Spanish-American war were also destroyed. Nothing was saved from the room. except the bate tie flags.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The house to- day devoted nearly the entire session to the passage of 269 private pension bills. The method employed today in considering pension bills was an inno- vation.

 This price has never been made before for these lots and when these are sold you will never buy a home so cheap and on such easy terms.
 These lots are just south of the Santa Fe Railroad Yards and when that road is finished to Benson and the new cutoff is built to the Coast (which NIT. Murphy assures us will be built at once,) Phoenix will be a rail road center and these lots will be in demand for homes for railroad employees.

STORY OF DISASTER.
Japanese Admit the Accuracy of Rus
 sian Gunrers.

Tokio, Feb. 27.-The official report of the naval officers who attempted to block the entrance to the harber Of Port Arthur on the morning February 24th, differs in some respects from the accounts already printed. From this report it appears that the Russian searchlights discovered the approach of five Japanese steamers before they had reached a point where it was pro posed to sink them and the Russian guns disabled three of the five. An other new feature is that a portion of the crews of the sunken steamers were not picked up until the afternoon of the 24th.
 The report of the officers in substance is as follows:
 The five vessels intended to ob- struct the entrance to the harbor at Port Arthur advanced about o'clock in the morning of the 24th from the southward through the Lao Thie Shan channel towards the mouth of the port.
 It appears that the Tenshin Maru. which was in the van steered too for to port and when about three miles rom the south west shore was shot and seriously damaged. ~
 She was run on the shoals intention ally. The other steamers which were in her wake changed their course to the northeast and advanced, but the enemy's searchlights flashing upon them impeded their progress. The enerly's fire first struck the steering

Mir Ell<ins spoke in support of a discriminative duty in favor of goods shipped into the United States in American bottoms. Such policy would. he said, work a revolution in five years.
 Mir. Patterson expressed a willing nes to vote for such a measure as MT. Elkins outlined. Replying to remarks by MT. Perkins relative to recent legis- lation in favor of American sailors MT. Patterson said that under these laws the seaman has allotted to him less space than a man in his grave.
 On motion of Mir. Hale, MT. Patter- sons amendment was laid on the table by vote of 37 to IS.

INFLUENCING THE POPULACE.
Russian Newspapers Exciting Senti-

St. Petersburg, Feb. 27-The attitude of the United States is the subject of constant discussion even in the high est circles here. where with the great est regret, fear is expressed that the two countries, without cause so far as Russia is concerned seem to be drifting part.
 The recently reported cancellation of American contracts indicates how the resentment of America's supposed hos tility has invaded business affairs.

 Next the Buyo Maru was seriously damaged by the enemy's shells and she sank before reaching the en- trance.
 Meanwhile the crews of the Hokoku Maru and the Jinsen Maru lighted explosives to destroy the merchant men. When they found that their yes sels were sinking the crews endeav- ored to row to the Japanese torpedo boats, which were ready to pick them up, but the Russian searchlights lit up their path and the Russian fire be- came very severe.

Salmon Packers Have Given As
surance That They viii Assist
Can Factory Project.
WOULD HAVE LARGE PAYROLL
Sesenty.five Persons Would BE
Employed and Their Wages
Would Amount to
$4,000 Monthly.

+, P. Kendall was in the city yester
day consulting with salmon packers
relative to the proposal for the estab.
lishment in this city of cam -manufac.
turing plant. He left on the nigh
train for Portland. after successful
visit. The indications for the estab-
lishment OF the factory are bright
and IT is thought probable that Mr.
Kendalfs efforts will be attended with
success.
II have already conferred with a
number Of packers said Mr.. Kendall
yesterday afternoon. discussing the
project with representative Of The
Astorian, and all OF them have given
assurance that they will support the
proposed new enterprise. Indeed. IL
the packers with whom have not yet
conferred guarantee as much support
as has been guaranteed by those who
have been approached. the factory will
surely be located here"
How much business would be nee
essary to insure the success of the
venture?" was asked.
THE factory ought to turn out S,O0O.-
900 or lO,OOO,O0O cans per year in order
to be successful replied Mr.. Kendall.
THAT much business guaranteed would
probably be sufficient to induce US to
operate the factory"
Would the local concern undertake
to supply cans to outside fishing CEN
ters-Puget sound. for instance?"
well, We would endeavor to secure
as much business as we could. Of
course. but | am of the opinion we
could not look for trade on the sound
Freight rates are altogether too high
to make this practicable. You will re-
call that this difficulty confronted the
plant of the American Can Company. |
1t is the intention to operate the pro-
posed Astoria plant in connection with |
a similar plant on, the sonud. But we
could not well expect to ship cans
from this point"
How many persons would the con-
templated factory employ, and what
would the monthly pay roll be?"
"A factory such as we hope to es-
tablish would give employment to
about rs persons and pay out some
thing like $4,000 month in wages"
Mr.. Kendall added that he had am
pie time in which to interview the
other salmon packers. and that three
or four months remained in which to
close up the matter There Is practi-
cally no demand for cans before March
1. Between now and March Mr.. Ken
dali will determine whether or not the
enterprise would be successful and
reach decision as to it's establish
ment. In reply to question, he said
the Pacific Sheet Metal Works Com
pany had nothing to do with the enter
prise.
