Unexpected Complications.

New orleans. Aug. 2.-More COM
plications have arisen over the quari
antine and ordering out of troops in
Mississippi to enforce it. Millionaire
Albert Baldwin. a banker who owns Il
handsome home just beyond the Lou
isiana line, alleges that Mississippi
troops applied for admission to Bald
win Lodge" and when refused by the
keeper, forcibly took charge of the
premises. Baldwin's son, when he
notified the troops to vacate, was re-
fused. Baldwin has applied in the
United States district court for an in
junction. Judge Pardee is now in At
lanta. If the injunction is granted,
the United States marshal for that
district of Mississippi must serve the
papers.
A terrific storm last night has de-
stroyed all the work of the "Clean up
and oil clubs of II wards. The
rains caused an overflow of the els
terms and consequent loss of their oil
covering. Extra forces of men were
put to work this morning to go over
the territory and reoil each cistern.
The council has passed an anti
mosquito law providing a penalty of
$25 upon every property owner fail
ing to screen his cisterns.

Supplies for Baborers.

Janama, Aug. 2.-Governor Magoon
has informed the governor Of Panama
that the canal commission has decided
to establish commissariat stations for
the supply OF food, etc, for canal la
borers along the zone, including Pan
anna and Colon. Until now the Unit
ed States has refrained from doing
so on account of protests OF Colon
and Panama merchants, who claimed
that their sales would be decreased
considerably by the establishment of
the stations, but reports to Governor
Magoon state that laborers cannot
buy what they need in many instances
and for this reason are refusing to
work. Refrigerators will be installed
and the railroad and steamers will i'm
port food from the United States.
Panama has not yet made an an
swer to the notification, but undoubt-
edly will not be pleased with the
measure, which must reduce import
duties, the principal income of the re-
public.

Walla Walla, Aug. 2.-The prelim-
mary steps toward centering the man.
agement of the o. r. & y. company
in the Inland Empire in Walla Walla
have been taken, and within a few
weeks the present employees of the
company expect to see the force gem
orally augmented in the city office.
General Agent Burns yesterday an
nounced that his office has been sup
piled with a first-class stenographer
and that c. f. Vandewater, at present
city ticket agent, and in the employ
of the company under Mr. Burns for
Is years, has been promoted in title
to that of travelling freight agent, a
recognition well deserved ty him.
Mr.. Vandewater will continue to su-
perintend the city ticket office, but
will do some of the outside work in
the territory, while Mr.. Burns will be
kept more closely to his office by rea-
son of the increasing business under
the new organization. Mr.. Burns has
been in the employ of the o. r. & N.

the placing of him at the head of the
business in the Inland Empire will be
a well earned and merited recognition.

of the force and the organization
have not yet been announced and 1t
is probable that they will not be put
in operation for a few weeks.

Enough Money for Weston Normal
Probably Raised.

At 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon d
meeting of the board of regents of
the Weston Normal school will be held
at the office of Carter & Raley, in this
city, for the purpose of receiving re-
ports from those who have been solic-
itng funds for the maintenance of the

enough money has been pledged to
keep the school going until funds can
be secured from the legislature.
President French and Regent Proeb-
stel were both in town yesterday af-
ternoon in the interests of the school,
and the former expressed the belief
that the required amount would be
forthcoming. Just how much had
been subcribed at this time is not

Petition to Federal Government.

New orleans, Aug. 2.--It is more
than likely the federal government

send Surgeon General Wyman to di-
rect the affairs here. The petition

requesting federal action, has receiv-
ed a majority of the signatures of
the members of the exchange.

hot weather of Tuesday is given by
experts as the cause for the increas-
ed number of new cases.

The matter of asking the Q. Il. x n.
Co. for a day train from Huntington
to Portland in addition TO the present
service was taken up at the meeting
Of the Commercial association last
evening, and the name of the associa-
ton was ordered added to the petition
which has been circulated among To-
cal business men during the past
week.
The petition is addressed to Supt. j.
i. O'Brien, and states that the present
train service for Eastern Oregon is
inadequate and that it is the duty of
the company to provide an additional
train for the purpose of handling the
local traffic. 1t is recommended that
this train be scheduled so as to leave
Portland about midnight, thus giving
passengers an opportunity to attend
entertainments in Portland during the
evening.
Following the reading of the petit
ton, r. c. Taylor spoke in favor of its
adoption and moved the same, which
was carried, and the name of Presi-
dent Borie of the association was add
ed to the petition. Remarks were also
made upon the subject by DR., F. w.
Vincent, who had conferred with Cen
eral Manager O'Brien upon the sub
ject short time ago.

membership in the association on file
as follows: C. A. Youngberg, H. z.
Cook, James Johns, Frank Sailing, J.
S. Mclaughlin, L. w. Held, Walter
Creswell, Ralph Creswell and ]. L.

unanimously elected.

wiue Tells How it Happened.

der Crosse arrived at quarantine this
afternoon. Envoy Witte is reticent
concerning the peace negotiations. He
said because Russia had reverses 1t
did not signify she had lost her power.
Japan had been successful because for
10 years she had been prepared for
war and the conduct of operations
was within her sphere, while RussS
was handicapped by the long distance
from the base. If the war had been
fought on the Russian true frontiers
the Japanese wouldn't have lasted six
months. The Japanese have not made
the progress commonly believed, and
are very far from being in a position
to dictate peace conditions.
