Inc second question IN re-
gard to why the farmers do not
organize for protection, IS
other lines c. trade do, aroused
quite commotion amongst the
male element of the club. The
visitors also took part in tie
discussion, bringing out mar Y
excellent points. The Club,
failing to agree on the answer
to so momentous a question,
shouldered off the responsibility
on the Secretary, with the per-
mission to answer as she
pleased, which she does in the
following words, according to
the light furnished on the SUBJ
ject. The farmers, as a class,
are too honest to enter into an
organization which might re-
quire questionable means to
bring to fruition the object or
objects for which that organ
ization came into existence.
The third question, will it
pay the farmer to build a laun-
dry with cesspool and conven-
fences, to save his wife from
exposure on cold days, was
answered tersely by Mr.. Nc
Kenney-Yes.

sion opened by Mr.. Divelbess.

sion opened by Mr.. Fensler.

When He Made Love to Her
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, Aug. 4.-Misfortune still
continues to follow the Robare family
In Seattle. Each member has been in
1ured one or more times by accidents
and has many times sued the corpora
tions alleged to have been responsible
Now Miss Gertrude Robare, 23 years
old, is the prosecuting witness against
Jesse Miracle, a Seattle real estate
man, who. she alleges, betrayed her
after taking her through a mock mar
riage ceremony, and then secured near
ly $1,000 that had been awarded to her
in damages against the Seattle and
Renton railroad.
The girl says she met Miracle, who
claimed he loved her and asked her to
be hts wife Miracle lived but short
distance from the Robare home and
called there often. When Miracle
asked Miss Robare to be his wife, she
consented At his request the mar
riage was to be kept very quiet. A few
days prior to June Is, the girl alleges
that Miracle took her to the home of
a relative, where she went through a
ceremony believed by her to be a legal
marriage. Later she says she learned
the marriage was only mockery. In
the meantime. she says, Miracle had Sc
cured her money and when he had gone
through with about all Of 1t she dis
covered that she was not his legal wife
The facts came out when Miss Robare
learned that Miracle was engaged to
marry another girl.

WRECK PROVES
RICH HARVEST
Stranded TricOlOf Stripped
OF Supplies and Furnish
ings on MendOcinO Coast
CONTINUOUS THIEVING
Even Parts of the Machinery
and the Brass Fittings
of Vessel Carried Away

EUREKA, Aug. 4.-The wrecked
steamship TricoIor, which went ashore
on the Mendocino coast ten days ago,
is proving a rich harvest for wreck
ers. and material worth thousands OF
dollars has beer landed at the port OF
Eureka every day. The principal ones
TO benefit are longshoremen- The slop-
chest has been rifed OF several thou
sands of dollars worth OF clothes. The
brass fittings OF the steamship have
been taken. as well as all the lines OF
ropes and a portion OF the machinery.
Underwriters have not yet abandoned
the vessel. and complications will arise
over tho thects. Several persons have
viewed the wreck with the idea OF pur-
chasing from the underwriters, among
them Henry Rogers, who has just re-.
turned to San Francisco. 1t was stated
that he would make a bid. but unless
speedy action is taken there will be
nothing left to sell but the hull of the
vessel, which is valueless. owing to
the fact that IL cannot be approached
save by small boats.
The Tricolor has shifted her positions
and now lies with her bow pointing
to the shore. There are still no signs
Of its breaking up. The interior OF the
vessel has not even been moistened with
water.

BATTLE NEARS
ON THE TUMEN
Advance Guards Of the Hos
tile Forces Are Within
Rife Shot of One Another
Is SUBDUED
Russian Garrison of More
Than Three Thousand Men
Lays Down It's Arms

TOXIC. Aug At is reported that
the advance guards of the hostile forces
south of the Tumen River are within
rifle range of one another. An early
conflict is regarded as inevitable.
A report giving details of the final
pursuit and surrender of the majority
of the Russian garrison on Saghalfen
Island has been received as follows:
AN independent cavalry column on
the afternoon of July 2S attacked the
enemy south of Paleo and routed him,
drivin ghim southwark and capturing
two field guns, besides a number of
rifles and a quantity of ammunition.
.On July 20 the cavalry, being rein
forced, vigorously pursued the enemy
south of Taylan, which lies twenty
five miles south of Rykoff. The enemy
halted at OnoI, twenty-five miles south
of Taylan, and at o'clock on the
morning of July so sent letter under
a flag of truce to the Japanese COM
manding officer from General Liapnoff,
the Russian Governor, saying that the
lack of bandage material and medicines
and the consequent inability to succor
the wounded compelled him, from
sense of humanity, to terminate hos
tilitieS.
The commander of the Japanese
force replied, demanding the delivery of
all war supplies and property of the
Russian Government unfnjured and the
delivery of all maps, records and papers
relating to the Russian civil and mill
tary administration, and requiring their
delivery in reply at 10 o'clock on the
morning of July 81: otherwise an at
tacking movement would Immediately
be executed.
Colonel Tolivitch, on behalf of Gov
ernor Liapnoff, met Colonel Koizumi,
japanese chief of staff, on the morning
of July 81 and accepted the proposed
terms.
Governor Liapnoff, seventy officers
and $500 men of the Russian garrison
then surrendered.
The spoils, consisting of clothing,
papers and military supplies, are now
under investigation"
GODZY, Manchuria, Aug. 4.-Dis-
patches received from Korea report
that the Japanese have begun a stimuli
taneous advance from Kwanchoda
against the Russians but that the north
columns were checked under pressure
of the Russian advance detachment.
The Russian losses, the dispatches say,
were insignificant.
japanese warships are reported to be
cruising off the mouth of Peter the
Great Bay on which Vladivostok is
situated, their lights often being visible
from the Russian island
Chinese arriving from the south say
that the Japanese are most active in
establishing trade relations in South
ern Manchuria; that more than a score
of large business houses have been es-
tabliShed at Yinkow and that 5000
Japanese suffers and larger traders fol-
low the army.
Almost tropical rains are falling in
Manchuria and the hilly regions are
impossible for trains of artillery Ev-
cry mountain path is a torrent and
every valley a quagmire. Important
operations apparently will be impos-
sible for long time. The alienation
of rains and sunshine has a depressing
effect on the health of the army.

surveying the route for the proposed
railway from Marysville to Sacramento.
The road leaves here from the foot of

DE WITTE AT OYSTER BAY.

President and Mrs. Roosevelt to-day
informally entertained Sergius de Witte
and Baron Rosen. The distinguished Wis
itors arrived in Oyster Bay at 1870
o'clock from New York number of
residents of Oyster Bay had assembled at
the station to see the Russian ENJOYS
AS they alighted from the train they
were confronted by a battery of cameras
backed by lot Of enterprising photogra
pliers. Baron Rosen waved them aside,
indicating evident displeasure. The en-
Yoys were met by messengers from the
Presidents official household, and escort
ed by the officers were directed to a car
riage which the President had sent to the
station to convey them to Sycamore Hill.
Neither Mr.. de Witte nor Baron Rosen
would make any comment upon their Wis
il. They entered the carriage in waiting
and with Secret Service Operative Burns
on the front seat were driven rapidly to
the Presidents home in TIME for lunch
con. President Roosevelt gave Mr.. de
Witte. who was presented to him by EN-
bassador Rosen, a most cordial welcome,
and they chatted informally and ami
matedly before the luncheon was an
nounced.
Soon after arriving at Sycamore Hill
Baron Rosen conveyed to the President
vigorous protest against the actions of
some Of the photographers at the railroad
station He did not conceal his annoy
ance at their strenuous efforts to obtain
pictures The President called two secret
service officers and gave directions that
the annoyance his guests had been sub
jected to on their arrival should be avert
ed If possible when they returned to take
their train for New York While some
pictures were taken at the station on
their return, the ENJOYS were subjected
TO no jostling or inconvenience.
1t was the desire of Mr. de Witte to
pay his respects to President Roosevelt
before the formal reception of the en-
VOWS Tomorrow. That his visit was
of some significance is. perhaps. beyond
doubt nut positive assurance is given
that il did not differ materially from
that of Baron Komura last week.

TOXIC. Aug. 1.-The Russian Emper-
or's recent response to petitioners and
the utterances attributed to M. de
Witte while discussing Russia's atti-
tude toward the peace conference are
creating q somewhat pessindstic feel
ing here relative to the result of the
conference, although many completely
discount the public utterances OF the
Emperor and NJ de Witte.
It is onfideatly believed that the
credentials of II. de Witte and his as
sociates will prove satisfactory.
A large section of the public always
