PREPARING TO BESIEGE
PORT OF VLADIVOSTOK

Tokyo, July 1S.-Judging from the
activity at present being displayed at
the navy department, it seems certain
the investment of Vladivostok can be
expected before the end of the week
All arrangements are known to have
been completed, and it is reported, ev-
identity on the best Of authority, that
Admiral Togo's entire fleet will sail
from Sasebo before nightfall. In ad-
dition an army Of invasion, which was
landed from transports in Peter the
Great bay very recently, is already
moving to complete the investment by
land.
Since July l fifty ocean going for
eign steamers have been placed under
the Japanese flag, laden with ammuni-
ton and supplies, and will accompany
Togo's fleet.
1t is the hope of the Japanese gov.
eminent that Vladivostok will be taken
before the peace ENJOYS land on United
States soil. With this object in view,
nothing is to be left undone to make
the campaign as planned brief and en-
inently successful.
1t is known that Marquis Oyama's
forces have succeeded in investing the
Russian lines commanded by Gen. Lin
evitch, so that the latter will be un-
able to withdraw any portion of his
forces to rescue the beleaguered city.
Japanese soldiers are now north of
the Sungari river and can be expected
to cooperate with the force that will
attack Vladivostok.

JOY AMONG NATIVES.

japanese Received With Open Arms
in Sakhalin.
Tokyo, July lin the latest en-
gagements near kakabfuto, Sakhalin,
the Japanese losses were seven killed
and go wounded, some of the latter
seriously. The southern half of the
island is now practically in the hands
of the Japanese, who are moving slow
ly but surely northward.
The natives express great delight at
the outcome and are apparently very
glad to get rid Of the Russians. Two
delegations called at the camp of the
Japanese commanders and protested
loyalty to Japan. Fully 80 per cent
of the inha bitants of Korsakovsk,
which was burned to the ground while
being evacuated by the Russians, have
returned and have begun to rebuild
their homes. In this work they are
receiving great aid from the Japanese
commander, who has detailed force
Of soldiers to help the natives in the
work.
1t is reported that the navy depart.
ment has received advices indicating
that a general engagement is likely
within 48 hours, and the outcome will
probably be the capture of the entire
Russian army Of defense.

OBJECT TO POLICY.
Portland Chamber OF Commerce Con.
traStS Railroad Methods.


Portland, Or, July 17.-"W While
have not thoroughly digested the report
of the transportation committee on
railroads." said W. d. Wheeler, presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce, 81
believe it is all right. Oregon has al
ways been favorable to the railroads,
while Washington has been unfavora.
BILE, yet the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern have aided development there
and the Hartman interests have left
Oregon to shift for itself. 1t seems TO
have been the policy of the railroads
in this state to let the community de-
velop Of its own notion"
The report referred to was brought
out by the transportation committee of
the Chamber of Commerce of Portland.
1t is a graphic review of the railroad
transportation system in Oregon. In
terms shorn Of hesitancy the Herrimsn
railroad octopus Is belabored at consid-
cradle length. 1t is recited that every
request for additional track has been
turned down. not directly, but through
promises that have not been kept.
Considerable attention is paid to the
proposed extension of the Columbia
Southern from Shaniko, but the COM
mittee deplores the fact that only fifty
miles is to be built, when it was un-
derstood the line would be completed
100 miles to Bend.
The new Hartman road from Reno,
Nevada, which is assured, is to tap the
Southeastern Oregon country, and thus
divert traffic to California, and it is
this action that the committee fears.

REFUSED new trial
Motion OF SENATOR Mitchell
OVERRULED.
Judge DeHaven Covers points In
Case in an Oral OpiniOn-De.
Tense Asks Time in Which to
File Bill of Exceptions and Writ
OF Error.

Portland, Or, July H. Motion for
a new trial on the part of United States
Senator John H. Mitchell, in the land
fraud case. was overruled by Judge De
Haven in the United States court, and
the attorneys for the defense asked for
a week in which to file bill of excep-
tions and a writ of error. Senator
Mitchell was not present in court.
Judge De Haven announced that he
had been too busy to prepare written
reply to the motion and gave verbal
decision. The motion for arrest Of
judgment was the first point taken up
and disposed of. Judge De Haven an.
nounced that he had carefully consid-
cred the opinion Of the late Judge Bel
linger, and while he believed that the
court had jurisdiction to set aside the
opinion in re the plea in abatement he
did not feel justified in taking such &C.
ton, and therefore overruled the mo-
ton to arrest Judgment. The court
held that he did not consider himself
in error in giving his instructions to
the jury nor in the admission of legal
testimony.
In regard to the sixth count in the
indictment, wherein it was conceded
by the government that no evidence
had been submitted to Justify the jury
in returning verdict on that count,
the court referred to a precedent which
sustained the jury. As to the claim
of the defense that District Attorney
Heney's explanation that An lndict-
ment for subornstion of perjury had
prejudiced Mitchell's case with the
jury, Judge De Haven held that his in
struction to the jury to take no cog
nizance Of the statement had been suffi-
cient.
In his opening argument to the jury,
District Attorney Heney stated that
Mitchell had been responsible for Judge
Tanners indictment for perjury, and
when the attorneys for the defense re-
ferred to this statement of Heney's in
their closing argument, they chal-
to why he had not had Mite hell in
dicted for perjury, to which Heney re-
piled in his closing argument that had
not the United States grand jury ad-
journed 80 soon, Senator Mitchell would
have been indicted for perjury. This
was the statement objected to by the
attorneys for the defense, though really
brought forth from Heney on their
challenge and inquiry.
Motion for a new trial was overruled
on every point.
Senator Thurston, for the defense,
requested time in which to prepare
and submit a bill Of exceptions and
writ Of error. This he assured the
court he would have ready for sub
mission to the district attorney early
in the week.

DOwager Empress Said to Be Leader
of Party Bringing Pressure.

Berlin, July 17.-Something of a
sensation has been caused here by the
receipt through diplomatic circles of
news that great pressure is being
brought on the cazr to compel him to
abdicate. The dowager empress is de-
clared to be the leader in the move.
ment, as it is felt that, should his ma
jesty retire and regency be establish.
ed, some reforms might be granted that
would appease the people. In fact, it
is said upon the best authority that,
were it not for the personal jealousies
in the grand ducal party, this plan
would ere this have been carried out.
1t is believed here that, so soon as
peace negotiations are concluded, and
possibly before, the cazr will retire
and relinquish the reins of government
into other hands to administer for his
son and heir
