CONFERENCE
 NEGOTIATIONS Believed Meeting Will Be
 Held in August. IMPORTANT STEPFORWARD RuSSia'S Diplomatic Mills
 Grinding Slowly. Foreign Minister LamsdOrn StilI Ill and Ills Illness is Retarding the
 Proceedings to an Appre-
 ciable Extent.
IMPORTANT STEPFORWARD

St. Petersburg, June 26.-(12:56 a. m. m.)-Negotiations for the peace con- ference have taken an important step forward, proposition for the date or the meeting of the plenipotentiaries at Washington having been submitted to Russia and being now under consider ation. The exact date proposed has not been ascertained but there is reason to suppose that it is some time during the first week or ten days of August, which is about the earliest period at which the Japanese representatives could be expected to reach Washing ton. allowing reasonable time for the acceptance of the proposal and the in- terchange of the nations of plentpoten- tiaries. The emperor's answer Is not expected for a day or two, as the dip lomatic mills of Russia grind slowly and the foreign office, as one of the secretaries put 1t, lis not used to your hustling American methods; but 1t Is thought the date will be satisfactory as there will be little preliminary work for them to do until the Japa- nese terms are submitted.
 Ambassador Meyer is still executing communications with Foreign Minis ter Lamsdorff by letter. the Minister being confined to his apartments in the ministry.
 The minister's indisposition also pre- vents him from receiving the German, French and other ambassadors during the last few days.
 M. Neratoff, Under Minister of For eign Affairs, and the spokesman of the Foreign Office. in an interview in The Gazetta declares an armistice pending the meeting of the plenipotentiaries Is improbable and he comments on the possibility of battle taking place be- fore a conference is held.
 The Russky Invalid. the army organ, supplies an argument for peace In an estimate of the strength of the Japa- nese armies. which it places at from 550.000 to 600.000 men. including the forces operating in Korea. In the five Japanese armies opposing General Linevitch, exclusive of cavalry and arr tillery, it estimates that there are from 4S0.060 to 45o,0O0 bayonets. which gives Field Marshal Oyama decided numer- 1cal superiority over the strength usu- ally allotted to Linevitch's army. The forces, it says. are divided as follows:
 General Kuroki. 115,000 to 10000 bayonets; General Oku. 10000 to 115,- 900 bayonets; General Nogl, 85,000 to 90,000 bayonets; General Nodzu. 45.00O bayonets, and General Kamamura, 73,- 900 to S3.000 bayonets
 The Novoe Vremya prints an inter- view which It's correspondent at Paris had with a Japanese diplomat who says he believes Japan's terms are moderate and will be acceptable. He adds that Japan is not influenced by the slight est doubt as to her financial ability to continue the war. She can with stand much longer and more difficult periods of hostilities.

Tokio, June 25.--3 D. m.--The follow ing official dispatch has been received from the Japanese headquarters in Manchuria.
 The enemy holding the northwest eminence of Manchenxou was attacked and dlslodged on the afternoon of June 22, but a portion of the enemy holding the hills to the west offered stubborn resistance and the hills were finally taken by assault. Another force of the enemy holding the hills due north was attacked from the front and we simultaneously resorted to a turning movement from the northeast inter cepting his retreat and causing him heavy loss, The enemy in confusion hoisted the Red Cross flag. but this did not stop our firing and he fled north in disorder His strength in cavalry and infantry was some 5000 men and several guns. Fifty corpses were left on the field. The enemy's loss was fully 200. Our loss was Insignificant"

St. Petersburg Fearful.

st. Petersburg. June 26.--(3:35 a. m) Beyond the bare announcement that firing was again heard Saturday night in the Jewish quarter at Lodz and that the Jews are leaving the city In great numbers, there Is almost nothing known about the situation at Lodz and the developments of Saturday and Sun day, Even an adequate estimate Of the magnitude of Fridays fierce strug- gle in the streets and the extent Of the casualties cannot be obtained here, as practically all telegrams except brief and unsatisfactory messages to the news agencies are held np by the international censorship. The news papers are without information and General Trepoff's adjutant told the Associated Press that the chancellor les Of police had nothing to comrnu- nicate. Ambassador Meyer also Is without news, though American con- suls are under orders to telegraph i'm mediate happenings of importance in their districts.
 The lack of information prevented any manifestation of feeling on the part of the workmen in St. Petersburg, many of whom are in sympathy with the social revolutionary doctrines and for the same reason there is little dis cussion in the clubs and cafes, most of the people not being aware that anything unusual is happening in Po- land.
 When the details became known 1t may be expected that the news will create the deepest impression in all in- dustrial sections of Russia and bring about disorders which would be par ticularly unfortunate. coming just at this juncture, when the government Is bending every effort to induce the peo- ple to be patient and to await the is- suance of a ukase announcing the con- vocation of a national assembly. the proclamation regarding which cannot be long delayed. The date for the convocation was some time ago tenta- lively fixed for June 2S. but the final revision of the project is taking long CT than had been expected and the ukase probably will have to be post poned
 In Poland itself the events at Lodz may initiate ap era of open resistance to the troops lasting for months. Be- sides Lodz Warsaw and other manu- featuring centres have been on the verge of anarchy for several months and disturbances similar to those at Lodz on a greater or smaller scale are to be feared wherever and whenever military conditions give the slightest encouragement.

COUNTY IN swEATBox
Federal Officials Are Looking Into
Possible Land Frauds.

That there is reason to believe that
Baker county entries under the timber

microscopic investigation at the hands
of certain federal officials has been
made manifest to a number of people
in these parts, but they are not shout

the Baker City Herald.
Two months ago County Clerk
Combs was requested by officials at
Washington to furnish them with a
verified and certified list of all the
entries made and filed in this county
during the year 1903. The list was
furnished as requested and was found
to contain 1877 names.
Beyond this request he was asked
to do nothing but since then several
