ADMIRALTY Is STUPEFIED.
Russian Advices Paint Situation In
Worse Colors Than Toxic.

st. Petersburg, May 31.-The Rus
sian admiralty is literally stupefied at
the extent of the disaster suffered by
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's defeat,
and its own advices paint the situa-
ton in worse colors than even the
Toxic dispatches. The Associated
Press V~ladivostok dispatch received
this morning accounts for only two
ships of the great Russian ieet-the
cruiser Almaz and the torpedo boat
destroyer Grozny-and the absence of
news about the battleship Navarin
and Oleg and Aurora, which are the
only fighting ships Of any value not
enumerated in the Japanese lists OF
destroyed or captured vessels, renders
almost idle any hope that they were
able to shake of the pursuing Japa.
nese cruisers and reach the shelter
OF the fortress Of Golden Horn.
The officers OF the Almaz dispute
Admiral Togo's claim of victory with
practically nc loss and declare that
they saw two battleships go down be-
fore their eyes and that two cruisers
were on the point OF laundering when
they last distinguished the battling
fleets. But they admit the distance
OF their ship from the scene of battle
and the fog made the view difficult.
The Associated Press Is informed
that the unpublished portion Of the
official dispatch, the contents of
which were sent by a wireless dis
patch to Vladivostok before the ar
rival OF the cruiser AlmaZ there. says
that the Kniaz Souvaroff was blown
up, Captain Chagin of the Almaz Civ
ing It as his opinion that the destruc-
ton was the work of submarine boats.
The captain gives the number OF Jap
anese torpedo boats participating in
the attack as eighty.
TokiO's account of the arrival OF
captured warships at Japanese ports
was more humiliating to the Russian
naval authorities than the news OF
the defeat. The opinion expressed
here is that nothing can excuse the
failure of tho Russian commanders &c

err than to ALLOW them to fall into the

Chicago Firms viii Make Aggressive
Effort to Move Lumber.

Chicago, May 3O.-Renewed ag.
g~ressiveness on the part of the en-
ployers in the transfers strike is ex-
pected tomorrow. Taking Advantage
Of the legal holiday today, plans will
be formed for extensively increasing
the amount of deliveries to be made
from the lumber district. Downtown
business houses, where strikes have
existed, have about 400 unemployed
drivers they cannot use on account of
the inability of the police department
to furnish protection for them, and
tomorrow these men will be sent to
the firms in the lumber district which
are in need of drivers and a strong and
determined effort will be made to in
crease the volume of business done in
that section. The lumber dealers
now have 200 teams in operation.
There was but little disturbance
during the day, and zone of the fights
were sufficiently fierce to call for the
interference of any large body of pc.
lice. Sixty Of the teamsters en-
ployed by the hardwood dealers in
the lumber district are now out and
the soft lumber dealers are tied up.
with the exception Of one firm, which
continues to do business with union
teamsters. Notwithstanding the short
age in lumber deliveries. the building
contractors express themselves as
highly confident that there will be no
strike of their men and no tieup in
the building industry.

Arrangements have been COMPLETED
whereby the Barnum 4 Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth will positively exhibit

for the people of this county, as it will
give all an opportunity to see this truly

OF an increditable magnitude this now

Trail Open on Sunday.

BY decision of Circuit Judge Fra
zier, handed down on Saturday, July
30, Trail concessionaires, who conduct
the amusement features of the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, were granted the
privilege of running their shows on
Sunday, and this will be the rule from
now on.
The decision marked the culmina-
ton OF controversy which has been
waged for some weeks between the En-
position authorities and the conces-
sionares. Portland people are inclined
to look favorably on the idea of an
open Sunday Trail, arguing that if
theaters and other amusement places
are permitted to run, the Trail shows
should have an equal right. Since the
opening of the Fair, number of cheap
and in some cases immoral shows haye
been running in the immediate vicinity
of the grounds, and these haye re-
ceived most OF their patronage on Sun
day. Every theater in Portland gives
Sunday performances, and resort on
the Willamette river has been running
on Sunday for some months
The shows on the Trail, it is argued,
are clean and wholesome, and the pub
lie might better patronize them than
those which operate outside the gates.
The Trail has proved popular feature
of the Exposition, and will be even bet
ter patronzed from now on.
The Exposition from the first has
favored Sunday opening, for the reason
that on no other day was it possible for
workingmen and their families to visit
the Fair. A Sunday admission fee of
25 cents, with children under twelve
free, has done much to popularize the
Exposition on that day.
