Mayor Dunno and his traction fall
lacies have received another jolt at
Chicago. The United States court has
set forward the ninety-nine year
franchise cases to January 2, which
is a set back for the mayor. A Chica-
go dispatch thus tells why: 1.-THE city
legal department opposed the motion
to advance the cases. because the city
desired TO have the state supreme
court decide the quo warranto pro-
ceedlngs striking at the ninety-nine-
year rights so as TO have the deci-
sion as a precedent in the review of
the Grosscup decree and hearing by
the supreme court. In the ordinary
course the appeal pending in the fed
eral supreme court would not be
reached for months, and it was re-
garded as unlikely that a final deci-
sion could be reached be-
fore the middle or latter part of
next year. This would have given
ample time to the city to have rush

TO COMPLETE FOREST
Chain ACROSS STATE

Washington, May 22.-A proclama-
ton has been prepared creating an
other immense forest reserve in the
state of Washington, and it probably
will be signed by the president this
week.
The tract will be known as the Yak
ina reserve, and will include practi-
cally all of the timbered area between
the Mount Rainier and Washington
forest reserves, making a practically
continuous reservation across the state
from north to south.
The Yakima forest reserve will have
an area Of about 1900 miles, being a
little larger than the Olympic reserve,
and more than half as large as the
Mount Rainier.
The Northern Pacific railroad owns
alternate sections Of land over part of
the area in question.
Laundering cannot be carried on
without the consent Of the government
to Cross the federal reserve portions.
Care has been taken not to include ag-
ricultural lands in the now reserve.

SWEENY IS SLATED
SPOKANE NAN NAY HEAD COP.
| Per COMBINE.
Word Brought From New York That
He Has Been Selected for Pres
Ident of Amalgamated-Said to
Have the Confidence Of All the
Various Factions.

Seattle, May 23.-The Times says:
Charles Sweeny, the Spokane multi
millionaire and leading candidate at
the last session Of the legislature for
the, seat now held by Samuel n. Piles
in the United States senate, is slated
for the presidency Of the Amalgamated
Copper Company Of Butte, Montana.
Mr.. Sweeny has just returned to
Spokane from New York, where he has
been for the past month comforting
with the Rockefeller interests. II is
understood he is satisfactory to all in
terests of this big concern, which is
probably better known than any other
mining corporation in the world.
would inspire Confidence.
Mr.. Sweeny's name was proposed by
Montana interests, who declare they
are not only entitled to Western man
for president, but that Mr.. Sweeny has
such sterling reputation that the very
fact that he was at the head of the
concern would tend to inspire conf
dence in all the stockholders, large
and small.
News of Mr.. sweeny's probable cleo
ton Was brought to this city from
New York by James D. Hoge, presi-
dent of the Union Savings and Trust
Company. Mr.. Hoge met Mr.. Sweeny
in New York recently, and it was then
that Mr.. Sweeny intimated that his
election to the Office was probable.
The Wall Street Journal in q recent
edition, Mr.. Hoge says, forecasted the
election of Mr.. Sweeny.
Mr.. Sweeny has closed ont complete.

TRANSFERS STRIKE
EXPECTED TO SPREAD

Chicago, May 21.-Sunday brought
no change in the attitude Of both sides
of the labor controversy now in prog
ress in Chicago, and everything to.
night points toward an extension Of
the Transfers strike to many other
houses during the week. The express
companies, whose refusal to reinstate
any Of the striking employees, caused
the collapse of the settlement Of the
trouble last night, still adhere to their
determination not to give employment
to any of their former employees, and
the firms involved in the difficulty to-
night declared that they would stand
by the express companies in the fight.
The teamsters' union has taken just
as firm stand as the employers, and
it was stated by President Shea tonight
that the union men would never call
of the strike until the express compa-
MES came to terms.
The first spread of the strike is ex-
pected to come tomorrow morning,
when the Lumbermen's Association,
an organization employing 400 team
sters, issues an order to their men to
make deliveries to all business houses,
regardless of whether they are involved
in the strike or not. In anticipation
of such an order the teamsters met
this Afternoon and voted to go on strike
should any teamster be discharged for
refusing to obey the orders Of the asso-
citation.
With nonunion drivers making deliv-
cries tor the lumbermen the trouble
will undoubtedly spread to affiliated
industries, as the union employees on
buildings will refuse to handle mate
rial delivered by nonunlon labor.
Should this strike be called, and there
is little now to indicate how it can be
avoided, there seems to be nothing that
can prevent a general industrial up
heaval throughout the city
President Gompers, of the American
Federation Of Labor is now here and is
using his best en- deavors to reach some
Amicable agreement, but with both
sides adhering tenaciously. to what
each undoubtedly believes to be right,
there is little indication that q settle
ment Is near.

pany, owners Of the Sunnyside canal,
looking to the sale to the government
of all the company's property and
rights in Yakima valley foc $3.50, 900.
The offer is under consideration, but
there is no indication of the govern.
ment's decision. The engineers Of the

heretofore that one of the most serious
obstacles to the construction Of the

CATION companies. The principle ini-
CATION works affecting the federal iri-
cation scheme are owned by the Wash

offer Of that company to sell out its in
terests to the government is therefore
q highly important step toward the
final approval Of the Yakima reclaps'
tion project by the interior department

was not prepared to announce wnat
the government would do. he added
that he had not gone into the matter

BATTLE IN PROGRESS
LAPS ATTACK LEFT FLANK Of
RUSSIAN ARMY.
According 10 Paris Reports Rojesf-
vensky's Fleet Has Passed the
Bashic Channel and Is Now Well
on way to vlsdlvosfok- Cannon
aiding Heard.

st. Petersburg, May 22.-Advlcee
have been received by the general staff
from Gen. Linevitch, stating that g
general engagement is in progress all
along the line Of the Russian left flank
and that two divisioDs are engaged
with the Japanese.
The Russlan position is strongly
entrenched one and up to the present
time they have been able to hold their
own and beat back the repeated at
tacks Of the japanese.
Up to Sunday the Russian casualties
were estimated at 500, and those Of the
japanese about thrice that number.
The japanese, according to the report,
are moving against the entire Russian
line, although up to the present the
fighting has been confined to the left
As Oyama has moved squantities Of
heavy artillery into position, it is ex.
Dected the general assault will not be
much longer delayed.
Hongkong, May 22.-The steamer
Arabia, which arrived here Sunday
night, reports having heard heavy can
nonading off Pedro Blancc rocks, fifty
miles to the eastward of Hongkong.
Whether it was occasioned by warshipt
at target practice, or was an encounter
between Russian and Japanese vessel
is not known.
It is rumored in official circles that
the Russian Baltic feet, comprising
forty armored vessels. has successfully
navigated the Bashic chanDel. Thii
report is also unconflrmed. If true
it is most important, as it indicates
that the Russians have successfully
eluded Togo and are now in the Pa
cific ocean.
Paris, May 22.-It is openly asserted
in Russian and French diplomatic cir
cles here that Admiral Rojestvensky
has worked clever ruse on Admira
Togo and that he is now we'll oD hi
way toward Vladivostok, having elud
ed the japanese trap set for him
While there is no confirmation of thil
report, color is lent it by the minister
Of marine, who states that he has re-
ceived information from Saigon to tht
effect that after the Russian feet left
Port Dayot, they went to Hainan
where they loaded coal during las,
Friday night. On Saturday q part Of
the fleet, comprising seven auxiliary
cruisers, returned to the coast Of
French Indo- China and anchored FOL
q couple Of hours, after which they
sailed for Port Dayot.
This action on the part Of the Rus
sian auxiliaries is declared to have
been ruse on the part Of the Russian
commander. who sent them back il
order to deceive the japanese into be-
ieving that he was returning tx
French waters with his whole feet
while the fact was that he was steam.
ing at full fpeed toward Vladivostoh
with his battleships and cruisers, leav.
