Posr TOWNSEND, July 1-Colonel A. C. Mat
thews. first comptroller of the treasury arrived
very mysteriously in this city yesterday after
noon as the bearer of important orders to the
captains of the cutters Rush and Bear. Almost
as soon as they were delivered Colonel Matthews
too2 his departure for Washington City. That
the treasury and siste departments, instead OF
intrustiag the documents to the mails, should
dispatch high official here from Washington
City tends to the opinion tnat the orders are
very important
1t is learned on good authority ths the orders
were TO proceed at once TO OnnaIaska and to
patrol BehEing sea. seizing all vessels found in
the sea with sealskins aboard or any other
prima iacte evidence that the vessel has been
poaching. The cutters are to then take papers ard
instruments and leave on board only a sufficient
quantity OF food to keep the crew until tie yes
sci reaches the nearest port. This is done so as
70 prevent the sealers from running away to
Victoria as was done last year
II Ifresissance is offered the poechers are to be
fred rpon-a and compelled to submit
The Eush has bsen st Port Townsend taking
water for her journey. Captain Coalson could
not be seen. Captain Hooper, OF the Corwin,
states that his orders were no. 10 sail at present
He did not care to say anything farther. As il
had been reported that change of policy had
been Instituted by the state department, Captain
Hooper was asked If there was anything in that
fSpoEt- ne sdlu knet eS Iar as lie knew tnere
was not There had been no orders issned de-
viasing from the policy outlined ia the first
general orders issued by the Washington City
authorities The Rush, Ca3tain Hooper said,
was 10 proceed direct to sea and carry out the
instructions OF the treasury department. He
expected TO receive orders any day, and was
ready TO proceed north without delay. The
orders received by the Rush are sealed and will
not be opened until the vessel is at sea The
INN urd Il
be no change in the policy already outlined by
the department The Rush has been On the
Sound since June 9th, and rs the season opened
June lst, the vessel will be q month late in
reaching the sealing ground.
The British government is centralizing the Pa
cihc squadron az Esqulmsult. but it is doubtful
ii this has any bearing on the Behring sea ques-
ton. There is yearly gathering of vessels at
EsquiInault, and this one has no unusual signifi-
canoe.

provision that the act of 1886, Withdrawing arid
lands from settlement, shall be construed to
mean only such lands as are needed for reser-
voir sites and canals. The construction placed
upon the law at present withdraws ali lands

slight amendment in the Wyoming bill, that

that day. If he properly could do SO.
ldaho had an easy time OF 1t at the hands of
the Senate. The Democrats. who are coustitu-
tionally opposed to admitting new states with
Republican tendencies. exhausted their obiec-
tons when the Wyoming bill was under discus

come in as going down q toboggan slide Senator
Cullom was in the chair when the bill
come up today. It's title was read, and Mr.
Cullom repeated the usual formula for hills
unobjected to, and on which no one wanted to
make speech. Nobody objected to the third
reading and engrossment, and no arguments
were presented. The title was read foi the last
time and Mr.. Cullom said: 'tShall the bill pass /?
Senator'S in the affirmative will say 'Aye:' sena-
tors in the negative will say NO." The strong
voice of Mr.. Ednunds. as he said AYE" was
all the response, and SO the bill was passed

ment to the conference report on the legislative
bill was presented by Dawes, of the conference
committee, who stated that the House declined
to confer further After long discussion the
Senate refused to recede from its amendments
by vote of "a to l9. The result of this is that
unless the Senate or House backs down the
legislative appropriation bill fails and new
bill will have to be reported ard go through the

Senate, however, was make by Hiscock and
entered.

Emil Weber's Slayer to be Tried For the
Fourth Time-ChanCe of Venue.


Fourth Time-Change of Venue.
SALEM, July lin the case of Sandy O,ds
convicted last February of murder, on an appeal
from MultnoInah county, the supreme coarr to-
day set the verdict OF the lower court aside and
ordered a new trial.
In May, 1889, Olds shot and killed Emil Weber
on the streets of Portland. In July, 1889 he was
first tried The trial resulted in disagreement
Ia the following month he was tried and found
guilty of murder in the first degree. The case
was appealed TO the supreme court and a new
trial was ordered. Last January the third trial
was had, resulting in his being convicted the
second time of murder in the first degree. For
the second time the case was appealed to the
supreme court who have again rem snded the
case for the fourth trial.
This is one of the strongest contested cases
ever held in Multnomah county. 1t is stated
that a change of venue from Multnomah county
will be asked.
The decision is By Chief Justice Thayer, Lord
dissenting, and finds that the lower court erred
in refusing the defendant change of venue 1t
finds the evidence ins9A cient to justify a verdict
of murder in the frs. dsg,s> Ii not yet de-
cided what course will be pursued in the case
The probability ID that a change of venue will
be had or that Olds will be allowed to plead
guilty in the second degree.

power of congress to regulate interstate COM

This is the vice of the Senate bill. I. is the
tenfold vice OF the substitute. IL tends to undo
the most important work that was done when
the Union was formed. Congress can define the
