vate parties, forcing the men to live in
certain lodging houses, holding them
up at exorbitant prices, and employ
ing alien labor. 1T is also charged that
immoral practices exist at the yard.

Sides.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Aug. %
Reports of a fierce race war between
Chinese, Italian and American fish
ermen at Nushagak, Alaska, We're
brought to this city this morning by
the small salmon schooner Salvador.

gave battle. Behind a barricade of
bunk houses the Chinamen offered a
fierce resistance and after two hours
battle still held the post. Reinforced,
the whites resumed the battle the fol-
lowing day with prospects of success,
when a body of Italians appeared and
assisted the Chinese to drive the
whites beyond the hills. 1t is reported
that a considerable number of dead
and injured whites were left on the
field. On the day of the Salvator's de-
parture the battle was resumed. The

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION PA
TIENTLY WAITED FOR SOME
ONE TO SHOW UP.
Board Disposes of Few Minor Pro-
tests-O. r. e. N. Assessment Will
Stand at $4,000.

Tax agents for the o. r. & N. ex-
pected to be on hand at today's meet
ing of the county board of equalization
and create a mighty roar over the
action of the board in raising the as
sessed value of the company trackage
from $500 to $4,000 a mile, had failed
to put in an appearance up to 3 o'clock
this afternoon, although the commits
sioners were prepared for a red not
session with the railroad people.
In fact the commissioners were
rather hoping that Tax Agent Morrow
or some representative of the road
would show up and make a 'hOller"
about the raise. The fact that the rail
road company never uttered a mur-
mur over the increase leads the COM
missioners to believe that the COM
pany may adopt the same tactics as
it did in Umatilla county when the tax
cases were carried into court for ad-
JuuiCdllO1l lie UOdTu WAS given d
tip early this afternoon that the COM
pany would not make protest at this
time. The sentiment of Commissioners
Morrow and Struthers on the ques-
ton is pretty we'll known, as they
were the ones that had the nerve to
push the assessment up a notch. Com
missioner McCaw was expecting at
least nalf a dozen tax agents with fl
ures rod long to be on hand before
daylight this morning and attempt to
show the board that an assessment of
$4,000 mile was simply outrageous
and would not be stood for. In fact
the other two members of the board
were looking for about the same thing.
Several protests from property own
ers who were dissatisfied with the way
their property had been assessed, were
taken up by the commissioners during
the day and Strengthened out. County
Attorney Wilson was called upon in
one or two instances to furnish a
guiding hand in Strengthening out
knotty problems.

business. He has demanded the money
several times. friends allege, but has

resumed this morning after an interval
of four days. Since they adjourned
Friday the ENJOYS have been appar-
entity almost hopelessly divided. But
many things have happened and much
has been accomplished. leading up to

ments. A telegraph wire has been
placed directly connecting the navy
yard and Oyster Bay and Assistant
Secretary of State Pierce has been
provided with a cipher which only he

THE NEWS FROM RUSSIA,

The announcement that one Russian
newspaper The Russ, has just been
suspended for criticlsng the govern
mont is n significant illustration OF
the situation IN that country. Tho
paper merely suggested that somebody
at hoIno was really responsible for the
disasters In Asia, This, OF course was
regarded as nnanmatory and danger
GUS And the truth OF It may also be
disputed, for, the rIl responsibility for
Russa's defeats must be placed upon
the japanese who Tor years have
planned this war and now are execute
ing their plans with marvellous skin
and perseverance, It IL doubtful
whether any other European army
could have fought better than the
Muscoyites, SO far from home, But
Notwithstanding this, It is folly for the
yensos at ST. Petersburg to silence
the press, II would be better for the
country TO open these safety-yaIyes
wide and let an the pent up steam OF
Indignation out II would, then not
cause am explosion,

A DIFFERENT CALENDAR.

An exchange wonders whether Santa
Claus used an urmored sled IN his
Christmas visit to Port Arthur.
The Russian Christmas day comes on
the 9TH Of January new style). so It
is evident Santa Claus has not been In
Port Arthur yet this time. And the
Japanese, who are not Christians, do
not celebrate Christmas.
The Russians are thirteen days be-
hind the rest Of the world IN their
calendar The reason Of this Is well
known, Anclently the year consisted
OF lunar months, and II was found In
time that these did not agree with the
actual length OF the year julius Coo
sar endeavored to correct the error by
inserting enough days IN one
year, 10 arrange the seasons IN
the natural order That year was
heightened to AS days, and It
has been called the year Of confusion"
but It marked the beginning Of more
accurate time-keeping. Ten days were
added to each year In order to avoid the
intorcalary month, and It got 36j days
instead of 1856, as 1t had before.
The year OF julius Cesar, however,
was not absolutely correct, And so, In
the sixteenth century II was found that
the world was ten days behind true
time, and corrections were again made
In the calendar In 1882 Pope Gregory
XIII made the necessary changes by
ordering that the day after the 4th OF
October should be called the 10Th, and
to guard against the error in the future
II was ordered that the year complete
Ing each century should not be a leap
year except nc every fourth century.
Protestant prejudlces objected to this,
but gradually the Gregorian calendar
was adopted by all countries except
Russia. In Russia the year 1900 took
an additional day as a leap year, and
the calendar Of that country is now
thirteen days different from that OF
the rest OF the world
