THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT HIT THEM
Dispatches Received by the Admiralty
Paint the Situation in Even Worse
Coors Than Toxic Advices-T Talk
of Peace Secuted Until Another
Land Battle is Fought.

st. Petersburg, June l. - The Rus
sian admiralty is literally stupefed a
| the extent of the disaster suffered b,
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet, ant
its own advices paint the situation il
even worse colors than the Toxic dis.
patches.
The Associated Press Vladivostok
dispatch received at an early hour yes
terday afternoon accounts for only two
ships OF the great Russian fleet - the
cruiser Almaz and the torpedo boat
destroyer Grozeny-and the absence Of
news about the battleship Navarin and
the cruisers Oleg and Aurora, which
are the only fighting ships of any
value not enumerated in the Japanese
lists of destroyed or captured, and
which, up to $50 o'clock yesterday at
ternoon, had not reached Vladivostok,
renders almost idle any hope that they
were able to shake off the pursuing
Japanese cruisers and reached the
shelter OF the fortress at Golden II )rn.
Russia has agreed to disarm and in
tern the big fleet of GOLFERS and trans
ports sent to the Chinese coast when
Rojestvensky determined to try to
force the Straits of Corea. 1t is be-
lieved here that the admiral did not
want to be hampered by big convoy
in the sea fight, and the decision to
send the convoy to the rear compete
Rojestvensky to adopt the shortest
route by the way of Tsu island, as some
OF the ships could not carry enough |
coal in their bunkers to steam around |
Japan.
The question OF inaugurating peace
negotiations is not likely to be opened
until full reports of the Russian dis
aster have been received. The war
party continues its defiant attitued,
md declares that peace is impossible,
while many Russians who heretofore
nave been in favor of peace, but who
IRE now Inundated by the sting of the
leieat OF their navy, are giving their
'oice In favor of continuation of the
var. Nevertheless, the peace party in
lists ON the absolute futility of prolong-
ng the struggle. Ever slow to reach a {
ecsion, it is improbable that the gov {
rnment will decide on the course it '
7lll pursue until after battle has been
oined in Manchuria. ]

PORTAGE ROAD COMPLETE
Last Spikes Driven by Governors OF

by Governor Gooding, OF Idaho; three
by ]. N. Teal, attorney for the Open
River association; nine by w. ID.
Wheelwright. president of the Port

Senator Clark, OF Wyoming, and four
by w. j. Mariner, secretary of the
Open River association, and the two
last spikes OF the Portage road were
driven, the line was formally opened
for traffic, the locomotive was footing
its whistle and soon was moving off
from Big Eddy TO the lower terminus,
with $50 passengers trailing behind and
the first stage of quarter century's
dream opening OF the river for navi-
cation from Lewiston to the sea--had
come TO pass.
Speechmaking preceded the driving
of the spikes, nor could the strong
wind that sung about the ears of the
l 900 auditors make them less eager.
For did they not regard it as natural
phenomenon for the wind TO drive the
sand in the narrow chasm of the Co
lumbia as for the river cataracts to

CHANGE IN CABINET.


Washington, June Sit is GOSSIP
here today that Charles J. Bonaparte,
who has been named to fill the vacancy
as head of the Navy department caused
by the resignation of Paul Morton, will
eventually be given the post of Attorney
General Moody. Certain other changes
Will be made in the cabinet. One of
these changes will be the retirement
OF MIR. Moody. Secretary Victor H i.
Metcalf will then go to the NAVY de-
partment. Mr.. Metcalf is beyond
doubt the hardest and most conscien-
tlous worker in the cabinet. The yacaa-
cy thus caused in the department of
Commerce and Labor will give the
president chance to call into his cab
met james r. Garfield, who will be
given the commerce and labor port
folio.
IL has been announced by Secretary
Shaw that he will not remain in the
cabinet beyond February ]. This va
cancy probably will be filled by Mr..
Cortelyou.
The pos,office portfolio will be offered
to Colonel Harry s. New, of Indiana
now chairman of the National Repub- |
ican committee, staunch Taft adher-
ant, and man who has done woman
service for the party during the last
three National campaigns.
The rest OF the cabinet will remain.

FAIRBANKS AT CEREMONY.
Magnificent Building Erected by Wash
Ington Formally Opened.

Portland, June 8. The bonds Of
friendship existing between the two
greatest states in the Northwest were
even more firmly cemented yesterday
at the Lewis and Clark exposition,
when the magnificent Washington
State building was formally dedicated
with ceremonies second only to the
opening day exercises of Thursday
The spirit of lriendliaess which binds
the two states together in the great
task of developing and upbuilding the
Northwest was exemplified by the elo-
quent addresses of the speakers who rep
resented both the state of Washington
and the state of Oregon, Vice President
Fairbanks, the personal representative
Of the president, honored the Washing
ton delegation by his presence and de-
livered short but very pointed and
appropriate speech.
The condition of the weather was
perfect before and during the core
monies, but Immediately after the close
of the exercises dark and heavy clouds
on the horizon, giving the
impression that the unfavorable wealth |
er had been delayed because of the
respect the elements held for the great |
state of Washington. Long before the
of the exercises, which |
were held at II o'clock, Washington
ians, 0regonians and visitors from all |
parts of the United States began to
in anticipation of the dedi-
,ation. By the time the hour arrived
Tor the opening of the ceremonies the
exposition grounds east of the Wash
ngton building were crowded with
people.
Hundreds,of them were from Wash
ngton, and it is said that there was
lot city in the state, no matter how
ranked in Importance with it's sister I,
tiles, that was not represented at the !,
dedication. There were visitors from :
ven the remotest portions of Washing !;
on, who travelled many miles on 9
orseback to reach railroad which =
1ould take them to Portland. The !
elegations from Spokane, Seattle, Ia
oma and Walla Walla were particu- y
arly large, the most prominent public :
len being in attendance.

prominent speakers, throwing discre-

struggle which could only resnlt In the
nation being plunged deeper into debt
and IN the useless sacrifice OF thousands
OF loyal subjects.
The excitement was intense and ON

insist that the admiral's action in sur
rendering his warships should not be

they could forgive anything but surren-
