Portland, Aug. 22.-striking tele-

ruptcy proceedings.
Sitting as a grand jury this morning,

the testimony of depositors who en-
trusted funds to the Oregon Trust &
Savings bank ON Tuesday, the last day
of its existence. If this evidence shall
be that officials OF the bank accepted

started and Mr.. Manning promises ia
land the guilty In the penitentiary.
A complaint has been made out for
the arrest of the officers of the bank
and Tuesday depositor will sign the
complaint today, should Mr.. Manning's
investigation prove the truth of the
accusations already made by late de-
positors.

Sandy Hook it Is said that the very best
five and six-jnch aImor plates that
could be obtained were used as targets
The result OF every shot was the same.
The armor plate was smashed into
thousands of small pieces, it is said, by
their impact. The impact OF the Dun
mite is also all that is necessary 10 ac-
complish the destruction Of the target.
Penetration is not necessary, the impact
being such that the armor is shattered
into countless pieces.
"The dropping of Dunnite shell on
the deck Of battleship, it is said by
many ordnance officers, would mean the
immediate sinking Of that ship, not by
penetration OF its vital parts, but sim
ply by racking the vessel until her
seams opened and the thrush of water
sent her to the bottom. This, it is said
by some ordnance officers, was the way
that the Japanese put the Russian ship
out OF commission. They would drop
the Shimose shells on the decks, and
the destructive Shimose did the rest.

IMBuED WITH HOPE.


Portland, Aug. 23.-There was moth
ing In the countenances of the little
gf0hp of telegraph operators gathered
in the strike headquarters at the Es-
mond hotel last night that would indi-
cate encouragement over the situation.
They discussed with earnestnees various
phases OF the progress OF the strike.
They say:
ave have the wires tied up all over
the country in spite OF reports to the
contrary. Why, if a man puts mes
sage ON the wire, say, at Chicago for a
coast point it is more than likely to 60
up into the air before fairly getting un-
der way. He has no way to find out
whether it got started, even, or not.
owe have daily reports from the
chief officers in the East and letters in
every mail and can say that Portland
seems to have a better service today
than any place in the country, and you
know what we have here. The latest
we have from Chicago is the dispatch
received this evening stating that out
OF the LOO operators in that city we
have not lost man through desertion.
"We also hear that a strike has
taken effect among the strikebreakers
in that city. 1t seems that the COM

SAILS NEXT DECEMBER.


New York, Aug. 24.-secretary Loeb
announced tonight that feet OF six
battleships will start for the Pacific
some time in December via the Straits
of Magellan, touching at San Francisco
also probably at Puget sound.
A destroyer aotilla will leave for the
Pacific about the same time, but will
not accompany the battleships.
This is the first positive announce
ment of the date when the battleship
feet will sail for the Pacific coast. The
first announcement was made by Secre-
tary of the Navy Metcalf on July 4, and
the details were given out the following
day, but the date of departure was only
given vaguely as some time in the fall.
1t was stated in July that 16 battle
chips four cruisers and the gunboat
Yorktown would come through Magel-
Ian Straits, but the above dipatch saws
only six battleships are coming. This
may be an error in transmission. which
it is impossible to have corrected in the
present condition of the telegraph sery-
Ice. 1t is quite probable, however,
that the number six is correct and
that the number has been cut down,
either because the government thought
1t unwise to SO nearly denude the At
lantic coast of battleships or because it
was desired to deprivesthe movement of
any appearance of hostile demonstra.
tion against Japan.
Assuming that the fleet starts on its
voyage about the middle of December
1t should arrive at San Francisco abont
the middle of February, 1908, as 60
Gays Is considered ample time for the
voyage. W

WARNS CHINA AGAINST JAPAN.
Diplomats Point Out Grave Danger Of
Further Incursions

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 21.-Advices
from Pekin state that Prince Ching
is warning the Chinese government
OF the menace of Japan. The interview
with Viscount Hayashi, minister of
foreign affairs for Japan at Seoul, in
which he pointed out that China should
take warning by Corea's fate lest some
strong nation be moved to initiate events
at Seoul and put her house in order.
mas created sensation among Chinese
ofhclals. Chinese look with suspicion
on the Franco-Japanese agreement as
intended to cover aggression in China.
and officials have pointed out in memo
fials to the government that while Ja-
pam impenetration into Manchuria ia
ifrecoyerable, any further incursion
should be prevented, even If foreign as
slstance were invited to exclude Japan.
