CHINESE SYMPATHY
IS WITH THE GERMANS
Claim This Is So Strong as to Be Liable
to Cause Clash With Japan--Jap-
anese Admiral Searching for Mines.

Toxic, Aug. 2s.-Ambassadors Count
Won Rex and Baron Muller de Szentg-
yorgy, representing Germany and Aus
tria- Hungary, respectively, were turn
ing over their official affairs today
to United States Ambassador Guthrie,
who will act for their governments, fol
lowing their departure for home via
America on the steamship Minnesota
Saturday.
The censorship was so strict that it
was possible to learn little concerning
japanese operations off Kiao Chau, but
it was believed Admiral Kato was
searching the waters Of the coast for
mines which were said to be sown SO
thickly at the bay entrance as to inter
fere with his fleet Is maneuvers.
Reports were current that the Chi
nese were showing such srrong German
sympathies as to threaten friction be-
tween them and the Japanese, but these
rumors were unverified.

to talk over the situation with you fully
at your earliest opportunity. ] agree
with you that my position is stronger
than it would have been if the nomina-
tion had como to me without any con-
test. My only regret is that one Of

features of our campaign has been the

HOP MARKET
GROWING STRONGER

Portland, Ore, Aug. 28.-There is no
question about the strength of the hop
market The unwillingness of growers
at all points on the Coast to sell new
hops on contract is slowly but surely
forcing prices to higher level.
The Pincus & Laws Hop Company, OF
Independence, yesterday sold 60,OOOt
pounds of 1914 hops to Joseph L.. Har-
ris at 1S cents. Louis Laehmund has
sold. $4,000 pounds, to MeNeff Bros at
1917 cents. Word was received from
California that Jesse Jewell had bought
100 bales of Sonomas on contract at
90 cents. The belief prevailed that
20.eent market will be general on the
Coast by the opening of next week.
A few deals in last years crop are
being put through, but these are not
many sellers. The Richardson lot OF "a
bales at Buena Vista was bought by
McNeff Bros. at 161h cents. A. Sonoma
crop was bought by Hall at II cents.
London hop dealers market letters,
dated August 10 to 12, said:
/ Wild, Neame & Co.-There has been a
better inquiry for hops for immediate
requirements at substantial advance
in values and the few remaining parcels
still unsold are being held for higher
prices.
Thornton & Manger-Our market is
better and values are somewhat higher
than they were last week.
Mangcr & Henley-A much stronger
tone has prevailed during the past week
and further inroad has been made II
) the extremely small stocks left Prices
J have advanced IS to los from the low
est point, and firm tone prevails.
w. H. and H. LIE May During tn
past week good many parcels Of hop

FREDERICKS, CURTIN
And JOHNSON NAMED
Three Are Named for Governor, With
Knowland, Heney and Phelan Select
ed for United States Senate.

San Francisco, Aug. 2S.-Returns re-
ceived here in the last "a hours from
Tuesdays primary election indicated
that John d. Fredericks of Los An
geles, won the republican nomination
for governor over his nearest opponent
by majority between 10000 and 4o,'
900 votes. State Senator John B, Cur
tin still maintained his lead in the race
for the democratic nomination and is
praetically certain to defeat Fred Il,
| Hall and Edward White, the other can
didates.
Congressman j. r. Knowland increas-
ed his lead over Samuel nj. Shortridge
for the republican senatorial nominal
| ton and good contest in November IS
expeeted between Knowland, Heney
and phelan-republican, progressive
and democrat, respectively.
Latest returns indicate that 1t IS
doubtful as to whether Judge Walter
Bordwell or Judge VIM. Conley will
contest with Judge +. NJ. Angclotti for
the office of chief justice of the state
supreme court.
Late figures also developed y sharp
contest for the progressive nomination
for secretary of state between r. j.
0 'Brien and James M. Murphy, the la
Dor leader At 1880 a. m. today Mur-
phv was leading 'Brien by about 4Ol
votes. O'Bnen seems to have won the
democratic nomination, but if Murphy
beats him for the progressive nomina
ton there will be a tbree-cofncret
FIGHT for the office between Frank 9
Jordan, republican, and O'Brien aut
Murphy.

Fire at Brown Hotel.

There was a fire at the Brown
Hotel Monday night at 1890
O'Clock that gave a bad half hour
or more for some of the people
at the hostelry. 1t was real
fire but did little damage as
sturdy work put an end to what
promised to be a healthy blaze.
Mrs. Willett discovered the
fire as she making the rounds
of the house preparatory to
retire. She noticed a glare ap-
parently coming from the room
under the kitchen and investi-
gated. She saw that there
was a fire and reused the
household. Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lett went to the lower floor,
gushed in the door and soon had
the burning rags, paint buckets,
etc. kicked out into the yard.
The origin of the fire is un-
known. The paints in buckets
and rags that the painters had
been using were left in the room
where the fire caught about 6 P.
M. and the men working left the
place. They say they locked
the door before leaving. The
first known of the fire was when
it was discovered.
The house was full and the
guests were pretty much excit-
ed. Some of the regulars came
to the assistance of the landlord
and were prepared to do valiant
work: Some of the lady board
ers made their appearance in the
hall, aroused from their beds and
some of them failed to find
slumber the remainder of the
night. The damage was nothing
but it was a close call. There
was a fire extinguisher in the
hall but all the firemen over
looked it in their haste to get on
the scene.

Selecting Seed Corn

Some of the farmers are go
ing into the fields and are select
ing their seed corn from the
corn on the stalk. The agri-
cultural men at Columbia say
this is worth while and that
the farmer who spends his
time doing this is earning $1.OO
per minute for the time so
spent. They claim that the man
who selects his seed corn from
corn in the crib is taking the
same chance that fellow is in
selecting a girl without seeing
her mother.
