WILL DOUBLE FIELD FORCES
Japan is Ready to Meet Russia's Re-
inforced Army.

Toxic, Apri l2,--Japan il meeting
the Russian plan Of reorganization and
reinforcement OF It's armies in Man
churia with an extensive expedition
from it's own military organization.
The detasls and figures are carefully
concealed OF what seems 10 be plan 10
double the present army units, but II
ia reliably estimated that by autumn
next the total military organization
will exceed 200, 900 men actually EN-
ployed in the field. The fighting force
is roughly estimated at 700, 900 men,
with increases largely in the infantry
and artillery, although an enlargement
in the cavalry branch il also contem-
plated.
AS u result Of the manufacture Mt the
arsenals in Japan, together with cap
lures and purchases OF guns, it IL pre-
dicted that this year will zee a Japan
ese artillery superior TO that Of the
Russians, in quality as well as numeri-
cally, and II Ia confidently believed
that the Russians will be incapable OF
overcoming these numerical advantages.
Wherever railway improvement are
possible they will be carried out, when
Japan will be suciiiiently strong TO take
and hold Harbin, and simultaneously
continue operations against the Rus.
sian forces 10 the eastward OF that city.

ONLY ONE FARE.
Reduced Rate TO Portland Fair from
All Eastern Points.

Chicago, April l3.--The action OF the
Trunk Line association meeting held
Mt New York yesterday was supplement-
ed in this city today by the Central
Passenger association meeting, which
decided TO concur with the former asso-
citation in granting one-way rate plus
81 from all points east to Chicago for
those desiring TO attend the Lewis and
Clark fair Mt Portland.
The Trunk Line association at its
meeting yesterday receded from it's for
mer demand for rate Of so per cent Of
the round-trip fare, and agreed to make
u one-way rate plus 81 from all points
in its territory on the Atlantic sea-
board west to Pittsburg and Buffalo.
This was to he done, provided the Cen
tral Passenger association would take
the same rate from the two latter cities
through to Chicago, whore the rates
could be Joined with the same conces-
sons made 10y the transcontinental
lines, giving a one.way round-trip rate
from the Atlantic to the Pacific The
action OF the Central Passenger associ-
alton ratified this agreement today,
which makes the one-way rate from
coast to coast certain.
This action assures large attend
ance at the Lewis and Clark exposition
from all of the territory lying east of
Chicago, extending to the Atlantic
coast, between the Canadian boundary
and the Ohio river. The Central Pas
senger association territory takes in all
the cities OF the east, and the rate OF
one fare will induce thousands of we'll
to-do persons to make Portland the OBJ
jective point in their summer and fall
vacations.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK WARsHIP.
Caution Saves Connecticut from Being
Ruined in Drydock,

New York, April l4.-During the
process of placing the new battleship
Connecticut in drydock at the navy
yard here today, what might have
proved serious accident was avoided
by the officer in charge sending down a
diver to make thorough examination OF
the hull before the water should be
pumped out and the vessel lowered into
the keel blocks.
The diver discovered heavy timber
stuck fast to the hull on the port side
of the keel, where it had adhered to
the rough plating while the vessel was
on the ways and had not been released
in launching. A failure to discover the
timber, it is said, would have resulted
in the buckling or crimping OF the keel
and lower frames when the vessel set
led on the blocks.
Several days previous to the launch
ing of the Connecticut last fall divers
were sent down to examine the ways
and found large spike placed where il
would have pierced the hull, had it not
been found. Later, an official investi.
CATION disclosed holes bored in one Of
the plates.

ADVANCE IN ALL BIG MARKETS,
Packers Raise Price and Lay Blame
on Cattle Growers,

Chicago, April Ia, - Prices Of beef
have advanced in every important mar
ket of the United States. The con.
sumer is paying the advanced price,
which TO him represents several cents
per pound over what he paid up to ten
days ago.
Swift 4 Co., Armour and Nelson
Morris state that no beef has been sup
piled TO the retail markets Of Chicago
or to any other market in the country
during the last month and half ex-
cept at u loss. This, it is declared,
has been partially due to the fact that
breeders OF stock and the handlers Of
range cattle have been holding back ON
supply until the grass OF the range be-
comes nourishing. Swift 4 Co., speak
ing for the packing interests, this after
noon, issued the following statement;
"During the last six weeks the pro-
ducers of beef cattle have been receiv-
ing about 81 advance over past prices
for choice cattle. This simply means
that the advance to the consumer in
prices would be about 50 on the one
half of choice cattle that can be used
for food purposes. The range cattle
producer is the master OF the situa-
tion,'

the big packers was transacted, was re-
vealed to the jurors, and as conse-
quence many new witnesses will be
subpoenAed.
The trunks and contents have been
impounded by an order by Judge San
born, so that no one by legal process
can obtain possession Of them.
Among the names Of new witnesses
subpoenaed today is said to be that of
q. II. Godfrey, alleged secretary and
treasurer of the Aetna Trading com
pany, and K. II. Cowan, another oili-
cal OF the company. The initials "R
II. c." appear on each OF the eight
trunks taken from the vaults, and it ID

BUTCHERS DENoUNcE PACKERS
New York Trade Up in Arms About
Advance in Beef.

New York, April l5.-Prces of all
kinds of meat have begun to rise in
New York because OF a reported in
creased cost TO dealers OF about 2 cents
pound. This advance in dressed beef
by the packers means corresponding
increase OF from to 8 cents per pound
at retail on the average grade of sir
loin steaks, pOrterhouse steaks and
prime ribs of roast beef.
Retail dealers say they received
notice Of the first advance ten days
ago, but postponed an advance to their
customers. However, on receiving
notice of further raise next week it
was found necessary to make a change
in retail prices.
Meetings of the Retail Butchers
and Meat Dealers Protective associa-
tion will be held in all boroughs to
take action. The Brooklyn branch of
the association already has met and
discussed the situation. Several re-
tailers bitterly denounced the packers,
who were alleged to be taking concerted
action. 1t was declared that while the
advance of wholesale prices was attrib.
uted to falling off in supplies Of cattle
at the Chicago stock yards, no such
falling off had taken place, and that
the raising OF prices was entirely un'
justified.

Bowen.
Washington, April l2.--Throughout
the diplomatic corps keen interest ex-
lists regarding the sensational answer
which President Castro Ii said TO have
made to Minister Bowen's latest 10.
quest for arbitration OF the pending
questions between the United States
and Venezuela. Although the Vene-
Euelan legation officials say the text Of
the dispatch was not included In the
mail reaching the legation today, which
left Caracas after the answer was de-
livered 10 Mr.. Bowen, Il has become
noised among the diplomats that the
answer was undiplomatic and almost
threatening IN wording.
The knowledge possessed by certain
diplomats ON the subject here indicates
clearly that the character, II not the
exact text, OF the answer has been
known for some time To the diplomatic
corps in Caracas, and there is reason
To believe that several foreign govern
ments have already been advised OF It's
text.
While diplomats who have inquired
at the State department have been in
formed that practically no action will
be taken regarding Venezuela until
President Roosevelt returns from his
Western trip, they also have received
the information that, II the exact text
of Castro's answer comprises an insult
to the American minister, II will not
pass unnotieed.

The Triumphaut snider

A little garter snake about five
anches long went to sleep in wheel
wright shop, and big black spider
spun a web around the reptile. When
the little snake awoke it was literally
IN the tolls, and began to struggle. It
nnally managed to free it's body, but
not its head. Meanwhile the spider
was industriously spinning fresh
threads, stopping occasionally to give
the snake bite. Then the real fight
commenced and lasted for an hour.
The sn@-e could not get away, but it
tried its best to bite the spider, with
out avail. Weakened by it's futile eff
forts and the successive stings of the
insect, it gradually ceased to struggle
and finally died. Then the spider, pre-
sumably triumphant, disappeared IN
