As to the cause Of the fire there are

The railroad officials, however, doubt

to the fact that the bed is built up Of

Russians Good Retreaters.

For hundreds of years the Russians
have been making themselves famous
as a nation of retreaters. The history
of almost every conflict into which
they have entered is filled with de-
scriptions of retreats-retreats which
have either been flights before vic
torious foe, as in the present war in
Manchuria, or retreats designed to
lure pursuers on to defeat, as in the
case of Napoleon. When the first de-
feats came to Russian arms in the orr
ent, and the armies of the car began
to fall back, military experts and mil
lions of other people said:
Wait! The Japanese seem vic
torious now-but it is Russian policy
to retreat to lure her victims on"
In score of wars, fought in nearly
every country in Europe and Asia,
this policy of retreating has lost
half a million men, or one-fOurth OF
all those sent out to fight the battles
of Russian cars.

By decision given recently by the
secretary of the interior. many thou
sand acres of the school land of the
state, including that which is most
valuable, are to be preserved to the
state. The decision is by far the most
important given in land matter in
many years. and probably the most
important that was ever given in a
matter in which the state was party
with the exception of the Northern Pa
cific land cases.
The secretary holds that these lands
claimed by the state for school lands
are more valuable for minerals than
for agriculture, and though such lands
were known to contain minerals prior
to the date of the admission of the
state into the union, the lands may be
held by the state as school lands, not
withstanding their mineral character
unless they had been located OF
claimed as mineral land prior to No

mineral were known prior thereto

SECRETARY HAY is BETTER.
Is Now in Paris-He Must Take a
Iona Rest

Bad Nauheim.-Secretary Hay has
finished the course of baths here and
will meet Mrs. Hay in Paris. Pro-
fessor Groedel is quite satisfied with
the effects the taking of the baths has
had on Mr.. Hay, but he has advised
him to abstain from all official bust
ness for several months, such a course
being usually necessary after this
course of treatment. Secretary Hay
expects, therefore, to spend the sum-
mer at his country home and to re-
main there until the autumn.
Emperor William invited Mr. Hay
to come to Wiesbaden and visit him,
but the secretary declined under the
advice of his physician. King Ed
ward also invited Mr.. Hay to an audi
ence, but this invitation also was de-
clined.
During his visits to London and
Paris Secretary Hay will remain very
quiet, and will make no formal official
calls. The call of King Leopold OF
Belgium upon him Thursday took the
secretary completely by surprise, as
the visit was not announced before

PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Expected Big Land Battle Failed to
Occur

Contrary to expectations, the en-
gagement of land forces in Manchuria
did not bring as important results last
week as was expected. 1t was belieV-
ed last Sunday that a great battle
was imminent. Field Marshal Oyama,
after a long period Of preparations,
was prepared to renew the aggressive
movement that had been suspended
shortly after the battle at Mukden.
General Linevitch, with old troops
rested and many new troops added to
his fighting force, was prepared for
the attack, and the general eXpecta-
ton was that a conflict similar to that
at Liaoyang and Mukden was at hand.
The developments of the week did
not sustain the predictions. There was
fighting, but no important results
have followed, SO far as the outside
world is able to Judge. 1t was re-
ported that Oyama had advanced from
right left and center, but which
movement was feint and which was
merely a demonstration could not be
determined. The advance of the Jap
anese was promptly met by the Rus
slams and there were several minor
engagements of a more or less san
culinary character. News came that
small detachment of japanese had
swung around to the Russian rear and
there was report, afterWard denied,
that VladivOstOck had been cut Off.
Rennenkampf, who had been doing
brilliant cavalry service for the Rus
slams. made an expedition around
Oyamas left, but seems to have been
nothing more than a reconnaissance
that resulted in considerable losses.
Saturday it was announced that a
pause seems to have occurred in the
land operations, the idea being, seem
inglv, to suspend the aggressive move
ment until the sea fight had taken
place and there were assurances that
communications between Japan and
the mainland would not be interrupt
ed. Apparently, the Japanese were
yielding at certain points, but there
was evidently an attempt at turn
ing movement on the Russian left with
view to shielding Kawamura's effort
to advance on the extreme east and
cut toward VladivOStOck. Both sides
are doubtless ready for titanic strug-
gle, but it is not likely to take place
until the mastery of the sea has been
decided.

TO PREVENT FORGERY
What the Washington State Banker.
Association Is Doinu.

While it is not generally known tho
Washington State Bankers associo
ton has a special committee of nine
members, whose names are kent co
cret so as not to hamper them in tboir
work, who are trying earnestly To nro
vent the swindling of bankers and
Others by forged checks, raised checks
and other means
The work is along somewhat similar
lines to that of the National Rankar,.
association. At the recent meetine of
the executive committee at Seattle
the report of the committee was in.
formally submitted.
That there is much of this crimo
was shown by the report that during
1904 there were IS convictions secur.
ed in that state of such cases alone
and this year there may be as MANY
more.
AS the committee is becoming moro
familiar with the work, it is securing
greater proportion of convictions in
the cases brought.
The committee does not appear pub.
licly in the matter at all In everv
case where it is learned that a bank or
any bank patron has been swindled
by forged or raised checks or drafts
the committee makes every effort to
secure the arrest of the criminal NV
the proper officials. and then gathers
the evidence together, irrespective of
the expense, and places it in the hands
of the prosecution. Every assistance
is given the officers of the law in the
apprehension and trial of the Grim.
inal.
The policy of the association is to
make check raising and forging al
most certainly punished, to the end
that that branch of criminal industry
shall be wiped out in the state.
When such criminals learn that all
the bankers of the state are banded
together to prevent such crimes. or to
run down and punish the guilty ones,
when such forgeries occur, there will
be less attempts to thus defraud the
banks and their patrons.
The association has as yet made no
regular appropriation for the purpose,
but all the banks have voluntarily con-
tributed to a fund which is expended
for the purposes intended by the spe-
cial committee of nine.
