GREAT BATTLE is DUE SOON
Linievtcn Tries 10 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.

Cossacks on daring expedition around

kampff succeeded in getting to the rear
OF the Japanese, but he paid dearly.

possible interruption of his communi.

Chicago Labor Unions All Planning
for Long Struggle.


Chicago, May 80. $500 Nothing devel-
oped today that would indicate an i'm
mediate settlement of the teamsters
strike, which has been in progress for
nearly two months. That the labor
unions are of the belief that the fight
will be long one was demonstrated at
the meeting OF the Chicago Federation
LOT Labor today, when arrangements
were made for holding strike demon
stration July 8. According to the pres
emit plans Il Is the intention to hold
monster parade OF the strikers and the
affiliated unions unless the controversy
has been ended before that date.
AT the meeting today each union
affiliated with the central body was
represented by three delegates at the
request OF President Dold. The strike
situation wac discussed in all it's de-
taila and the sentiment OF the meeting
was that the teamsters should continue
the fight until the seven express com
panies should offer some sort OF com
promise. The officials of the express
companies are still obdurate in their
declaration that no concessions need be
looked for from their side, so the mat
ter OF settlement through this channel
seems as remote as ever.

COMING WITH GREAT RUSH.
Kansas Farmers Swarm to Buy Tick
cts to Fair.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 25. = The
sale of special rate tickets to Portland
Or, opened so briskly as to astonisb
the local railroad officials. From the
number of tickets purchased, it is an
parent that passenger traffic to the Pa
cific coast will be heavier than was
anticipated. One of the city ticket
agents, in speaking of this today, said !.
1T indicates that this part of the
country is exceptionally prosperous
we had men come in here today from
little towns out in Kansas who are
going to Portland and will take their
whole families with them. This early
rush for tickets is not only big adyer-
tisement for the Lewis and Clark expo
sltion, but a big advertisement for
Kansas. Farmers are prosperous. and
they know of no better wav to spend
their superfuous coin, apparently. than
to visit Oregon" wan

United States Engineer Starts for the
Field to Push the Work.

Field to push the WORK.
San Francisco, CAL, May 26.--E. g.
Perkins, an engineer In the United
States reclamation service, geological
department, left tonight Tor the north,
where he Ia to start the enormous re-
clamation works In the klamath basin,
for which the sum OF $4,000, 600 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 42,825
acres Of private lands, making total
Of as, $3.50 acres. The valleys OF Langell,
Alkali and Poor will be reclaimed, and
as this land Ia said to be among the
richest in this part of the country, 1t
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 q company
brought water on the land along the
northern shores of Tule lake and alfalfa
was planted and also orchards were
put in.

latter Is not likely until the fight 10

all point to sweeping Japanese vic

London Mail at TOXIC, who is generally
most conservative, makes the bold
statements that the Russian Baltic fleet
as fighting force bias been completely
wiped out, that some of its best vessels
are sunk, others are prizes Of war, and
the remainder fleeing before the Japan
ese vessels. lie adds no details, which
Ia not surprising, inasmuch as the CEN

Togo attacked the Russians Sunday

have already scored heavily in the past,
and then he followed up the fighting
with his whole fleet.
