JUDGE HILTON ACTS.
New York World Men In
dicted for Libel.
A LETTER TO Mr.. FELLOWS
The Judge Wants the Traducers
OF the Late Millionaire Brought
to Justice.

NEw YoRK, April 30.-The grand jury
has just handed in indictments against
Joseph Pulitzer, John a. Cocktrill. j..
Chambers and J. NJ. Graham, of the
New York World, for criminal libel OF
ex-Judgo Hilton.
The World, for some time past, has
been publishing sensational articles re-
gording Judge Hilton's relations to the
Stewart estate, and also vague insinua-
tions against the character of Mr.. Stew
art. On the 23d instant, Judge Hilton
wrote to District Attorney Fellows at
length, calling attention to these articles
and saying that he would not think OF
dignifying them by bringing civil suit
for libel, had they been confined to libel
ing him. lie should have treated them
with contemptuous silence in that case,
"but," says the letter, "when they
malign the memory of dear friend and
benefactor, whose name was q synonym
for high character, perfect integrity aud
unquestiobed personal purity, ! owc II
to his memory that such shameless and
wnnton traduccrs, beside whom the rob
hers of his grave were gentlemen of re
iinement and character should be
brought TO answer at the bar OF public
Justice. II is with that purpose In view
that | write this letter, and send these
papers that you may exhibit these libcls
TO the grand Jury for such action as they
may deem proper"
Messrs. Graham and Chambers gave
bail this afternoon. Messrs. Pulitzer
and Cockorill are out OF the city on a
vacation.

The effect Of too much rain on wheat on
the low lands is shown to have been
slightly injurious in the WI lamettt
valley. Larger spnng acreages than
usual have been sown.
All varieties of fruit trees in all parts ol
the state save In the more noun tai Ou'
sections Of Eastern Oregon, arc IN

THE SILVER PROBLEM
A Criticism OF the Bill Now
Peneling.
INTERESTS OF THE FARMERS
Ralph Beaumont Gives HIS Views
on This Subject and the
Tariff.

WAsHINdroN, April 30.--Ralph Beau
mont, chairman OF the national legisla-
tive committee of tho Knights of Labor
has written Major Mckinley letter
criticIsing the pending silver bill.
Beaumont says in part
"on what ground OF equity and jus.
tice does your party decide to confer
legal tonder powers to their certificates
for tho purposes for which national
banks desire to use them, and refuse the
farmers and business men Of tho coun.
try the same priviego?'
Beaumont then recalls the discri lima.
tion between tho trade dollar and the
standard dollar, and asks; "What Is to
hinder, under this bill, the same banders
from discriminating against this note,
as IL Is only legal tender Tor certain pur-
poses2 This bill creates money Tor the
bankers and notes for tho farmers. 1t

with notes. II Is money they want. with

Indebtedness to their bondsmen.
! insist, sir, that II you, as leader of the
house. let this measure pass creating
these certificates without conierring up
ON them null legal tender power 10 on
able these over-bunlened farmers to
meet their obligations, yod are guilty OF
committing wrong, and, mark lt, IL is
one that both you and your party will
have to atone for In the coming con gres
sional campaign. These over.hurdened
tillors OF the soil are in no mood to be
triiled with. They are desperate.
You, as tho lehder of your party
in the house, arc GA the point
OF pressing n measure through the
house known rs the tariff bill, which
you say Is to protect the tillers OF the
soil from ruinous competition from
abroad. Let ine again, | beg, warn you
that since tho last campaign, which was
fought out upon this issue, these same
tillers have come to the conclusion that
during that campaign they were labor
ing under dclusion, and have come TO
tho further conclusion that il is not from
competition from abroad that they are
suffering, but that, on the contrary, u H.
from legal discrimination against them
IN the interest of corporate wealth by
Just such unfair legislation as Is con-
tained In this bill. -

THE ARMY.
Division Rearranxements Occupy Ing
tho S.cretary's Attention

WAsnISGroN, April 30. The question
of the Encouragement OF division and de-
partment commands is now receiving
the attention Of the war department.
The secretary is understood to be seri-
ously considering the advisability of re
ducing the number of military depart
ments. The departments of the Eas,
and OF California, which exist practically
In name only, will doubtless be abol-
ished. Possibly one other depart
mcnt viii be merged into others,
thus leaving five departments with
brigadier general for the command OF
each and one to spare TO command
u division Another scheme talked OF Is
IA division of the army into two great
military divisions and six departments,
thus making the commands conform TO
the present number OF commanders.
What the result OF the present delibera,
tions will he can not now be predicted
with any degree OF certainty. General
Howard has lately expressed n desire 20
remain where he Is. This being the
case, General Miles will, in all probahil I
ity, be given command OF the Missouri.
But these assignments depend entirely
upon what conclusion is reached In re-
gard TO the reapportion ment and reduc-
tion Of the commands.
