Capitalization OF authority and transfer
OF power from Washington to Panama,
permitting the putting OF more energy
into the work. Regarding the work
of sanitation, the governor said that no
effort and no expense would be spared

NO BOYCOTT BY CHINESE.
Minister Conger Ridicules Talk of
Revenge for Exclusion.

Leavenworth, Kan, May 26.-Edwin
II. Conger, ex-minister to China, is
visiting his daughter at Fort Lcaven-
worth. Mr.. Conger is on his way to
his new post in Mexico. 'Tne talk Of
the Chinese retaliating against the ex.
Clusion .law by boycotting American
made goods is amusing to me-" said
Mr.. Conger today. "0f coarse you
know how American politics are run; /;
we'll, the Chinese were politicians be-
fore America was discovered. They
know more tricks than their American
brethren.
"While much of the agitation has
occurred since left China, there was
some prior to that. At these mass
meetings of merchants, as they were
called, there was liberal sprinkling Of
politicians and possibly one or more
merchants who had been run in. The
politicians did most OF the talking and
then the news was spread broadcast
that the merchants would boycott
American goods.
81 believe that the truth of the mat
ter is that the Chinese merchants have
no idea of boycotting American goods.
They are in business to make money,
and there is a demand for American
goods

Chicago Police Resort to Clubs
to Preserve Peace.
BUILDING TRADES ARE INVOLVED
No Prospect Of Immediate Settlement
and Mayor and Peace Com
mittee Give Up Hope.

Chicago, May 27,--Rioting broke out
afresh today in the teamsters' strike,
and although nobody was seriously
hurt, there were number OF vicious
fights in the lumber district, during
which the police were compelled TO use
their clubs, and in one instance revolv-
ers, in order to dispense the mob.
The strike today spread in u small
degree throughout the building trades.
There were number OF instances
where woodworkers refused to receive
the material delivered by non-union
teamsters and walked out. This move
in every instance was made by the men
as individuals only, No official action
was taken by any Of the trades unions
looking to the active sympathetic sup
port OF the teamsters' strike. Several
OF the labor leaders in the ranks OF the
material trades have declared within
the last "a hours that there is no pros
pect in their opinion, of any complete
tie up of the building trades by strike
OF the men.
There is no movement at present
looking towards settlement OF the
strike. Mayor Dunno today for the
first time since the commencement OF
the teamsters' strike declared that he
knew OF no contemplated plans for
peace. The mayor talked as though he
had abandoned hopes Of a settlement.
Dever, chairman of the City Council
Peace committee, appointed week ago,
said tonight that he had practically
ceased work, as the committees could
see no avenue in the controversy look
ing toward an adjustment OF the differ
ences between the teamsters and the
employers.

RECLAMATION OF KLAMATH
United States Engineer Starts for the
Field TO Push the Work.

San Francisco, CAL, May s6,-E, G,
Perkins, an engineer in the United
States reclamation service, geological
department, lett tonight for the north,
where he is to start the enormous re-
clamation works in the Klamath basin,
for which the sum of $4,000, 900 has
been appropriated.
This work will probably be the larg.
est in this part of the country, and the
land that is to be reclaimed will be
able TO support population of at least
100, 900 souls.
There is to be little delay in the be-
ginning of the reclamation project, and
Mr., Perkins is going north to look over
the ground and commence operations.
According to estimates of engineers
there is embraced in Klamath basin g..
sos acres of public lands and 1895
acres of private lands, making a total
of As, $50 acres. The valleys OF Langell,
Alkali and Poor will be reclaimed, and
as this land is said TO be among the
richest in this part of the country, it
will not be matter of difficulty to get
people to settle there.
1t is only within the past few years
that the cattlemen have attempted to
cultivate that land. For years it was
given over to the pasturing of stock and
the only feed that was given the cattle
during the winter months was from the
tule hay cut on the borders of Tule
lake. Some few years ago company
brought water on the land along the
northern shores of Tule lake and alfalfa
was planted and also orchards were
put in.

GREAT BATTLE is DUE SOON
LinieVitch Tries to Assume Offensive,
but Oyama is Ready.

st. Petersburg, May 26.-The news
from the front continues to point to the
proximity of fighting on large scale.
Lieutenant General Linievitch sent
Lieutenant General Rennsnkampff' 8
Cossacks on daring expedition around
Field Marshal Oyama's left. Rennen-
kampff succeeded in getting to the rear
of the Japanese, but he paid dearly,
bis Cossacks being badly cut up.
Many believe that General Linievitch
is trying to take the offensive ont of
Marshal Oyama's hands. The latter
has made all preparations against the
possible interruption Of his communi-
cations, and the cessation of tranpsort
service from japanese ports. All rein
forcements available and immense
quantities of provisions and munitions
of war have been landed at Yinkow and
Dalny since Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
appeared in the straits of Malacca.
Newspaper correspondents at the
front are prevented by the censor from
telegraphing any intelligent view of the
situation, and this has always been the
precursor of important developments.
General Linievitch has taken far great
er precautions than did General Kuro-
patkin to prevent his plans fro leaking
