t. j. NOTION AT PORT TOWNSEND.
He Returns From Mexico to Face
Charges of Alleged Fraud.

PoRr TOWNSEND, Feb. 3.-FSpecial. IT.
J. Notion arrived today from Sonora, Mex
leo, to answer charges of obtaining money
under false pretenses, preferred by the
Port Townsend National bank in the latter
part of December, while Notion was at the
mines In Mexico. Immediately upon his
arrival warrant was served on Notion,
but he was released OH his own recogniz-
ance. TO appear February 5. Notion was
forme 'ly vice president of the Port Towns
end National band, and Is member of the
Nolton-Adams Hardware Company and
other business enterprises in this city.
Notion had lost heavily by going security
on notes. He borrowed 81, 750 from the
bank. giving his individual note.
Last August he went to Mexico. secured
some valuable mining prospects and re-
turned In November TO settle up business.
He drew on A. +. McInnes, of the Cali
fornia Southern Railroad Company, for
s., 100, the amount of the note in the bank,
and says it was agreed with the bank that
if the draft was paid the note would be re-
leased by the bank. McInnes was inter-
ested with Notion in the mining venture,
and had paid previous drafts, but refused
to pay this one The draft came back
here protested on December "a, and war
rant was sworn out for Notions arrest.
He was then at the Mexico mines, $500
miles from Port Townsend.
The Seattle Telegraph published a Port
Townsend special on December 25 which
Notion says is false and libelous, and his
friends are urging him to bring an action for
damages against the bank and that paper,
and for criminal libel against the Tele-
graphs correspondent. Notions mother
and brothers live here and he has interests
here, but is going back to the Mexico
mines as soon as possible.
The bank charges that Notion repre-
sented that McInnes was indebted TO HIM
to the amount of the note and would honor
the draft. Among Notions hackers in the
mining enterprise is Governor Ferris, of
Sonora; General Arson McCook, COM
manding the department of Arizona; Gen
eral Manager Wade and other officers of
the Santa Fe railroad

TO the land officers here. They recently
finished the tedious readingo of this volum-
lnous evidence and today rendered their
decision. holding that while traces of gold
were found on the tract the ore does not
exist in sufficient quantities TO put the
land IN the mineral class and that it is
more valuable for agricultural and town
site purposes than for mining. The wit
nesses for the state place the value of the
tract at 500, 600
1.-The above case was one that created great ex-
cltement in Tacoma when the citizens there
learned that John G. Mcbride, a hardware
dealer. and number of others had staked OF
claims in section l6. and would claim the land
under the mineral laws. Mcbride attempted 20
hold his claim, and made test case in spite of
the protestatlons of press and people, who even
went so far ss 10 charge that the mine had been
"salted" so as to show traces of gold. AS re-
suit OF the attacks on Mcbride and his compan-
ions in this land deal. the former brought $50
oo0 suit Tor libel against the Tacoma LciJsr. Ths
endeavor TO secure this valuable piece of land
on so barefaCed pretext as the one in evidence
failed. for it was well understood in Tacoma
that AcBrldes intention was 70 secure the land
Tor its value as city property. Before this last
attempt company had been organized in order

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 3.-It. was stated
on the Cotton Exchange this morning
that Walter Z. and Richard J. Jones,
comprising the firm of Jones Brothers &
Co.. cotton buyers, have suddenly left the

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. Especial. +
The opinion is prevalent in Washington
City today that congress will not be able
to take recess before August or Septem-
ber. 1t is now maintained that the Re-
publican leaders in both houses have de-
cided upon plan to delay adjournment
as late as possible, in order to prevent
members of the House who are candidates
for reelection from returning to their
homes TO take part in the campaign in
their own interest. The Democrats pro-
pose to meet this coup by allowing about
fifty Democratic members the usual leave
of absence ct one time. so that they can
return to their districts and build up their
political fences. Whether the plans of the
leaders are followed or not, 1t now seems
impossible for an early recess to be taken.
A prominent member OF the House ap-
preparation committee said today that it
would take that committee over three
months to prepare the sundry civil bill.
He said it must be remembered that the
head of every department of government.
in fact the chief of nearly every division in
the various departments. would have to
come before the committee and submit a
report of the needs for an appropriation in
his department. This member added that
indications were that the appropriations
committee would not be able to take up
consideration of the sundry civil bill for
two months yet. He had an idea that it
would take fully six months to get through
with the legislation necessary to run the
government machinery for the present
year.
Yesterday Senator Hansbrough had a
conference with Chairman Blanchard, of
the House river and harbor committee,
and during the talk Blanchard said that
it would take the committee fully two
months to prepare the river and harbor
bill that would be presented to the House
this session. Blanchard also told Hans
brough that the river and harbor COM
mittee would ask for $40, ,000, 600 appro-
prIation for the improvement of rivers and
harbors. This assertion surprised Hans
brough and he said TO Blanchard that he
did not believe the House would allow the
passage of bill calling for so great an
appropriation, the North Dakotan re-
ferring to the Holman resolution as pre-
ventive of any such action. Blanchard
replied that the resolution would have
little to do with the matter. He said the
Southern members must secure these river
and harbor appropriations, and he had no
doubt the strength the South had
would overcome all that Holman and
those allied with him could WELD.

discharged it by touching the trigger with
stick of wood. The ball passed through
the posterior OF the mouth and came out
above the left ear.
When found few minutes afterwards
he was lying on the floor in a pool of
blood. He was still conscious, and asked
to be thrown into the river to relieve his
sutferings The isolated position of the
cabin made it impossible TO secure medi-
cal assistance. and it was thought that the
man would live but short time. His age
was IS.

WAsHINGToN CITY, Feb. 3.-The House
spent another monotonous day in discus
sion of the rules, and il is now evident
two months of the session will close with
the rules still under consideration.
Progress today was marked by one sieniti-
cant eyent-the adoption of an amend
ment proposed by Dingley, of the Repub-
lcan side, and chiefly supported by ex-
Speaker Reed. This amendment. too. is
one OF the most important thus far pro-
posed TO the committees report, as it pro-
vides that al Senate amendments 10 House
bills, other than appropriation bills, shall
be considered as soon a. laid before the
House by the speaker.
The pending motion this morning was

Much feeling was aroused by the resolu-
tion offered yesterday by Browne, of Spo-
kane. rejecting on the action Of the state
board Of equalization in equalizing rail
road assessments and declaring in favor Of
an assessment at the rate of SIS 900 per
mile This resolution was erroneousiy
published in ali the reports OF yesterdays
proceedings as having been passed, but to-
day a resolution was adopted declaring
this report to be untrue, and stating that
the resolution was ruled out of order and
that no objection was made to such ruling.
Mr.. Browne withdrew from the conven-
ton.
State Auditor Reed, who presided, ex-
pressed an official opinion to the conYen-
ton that breaking and clearing lands, the
title of which is vested in the United
States. are considered as Improvements of
the land, and not on the land, and they
are not TO be assessed.

TACOMA, Feb Especial. despite the
protestations of the officials of the North
ern Pacific to the contrary, there is much
complaint. especially among Tacoma-Seat-
tie and Tacoma, Olympia and Gray's HaF-
Dor patrons of the road, regarding the
schedule which went into effect three
weeks ago. As travellers become more ac-
customed to the new time card, complaints
are not so numerous.
Arrangements are now completed for
transferring the eastern terminal of the
coast division of the Northern Pacific from
South Prairie To Lestor
The Northern Pacific will change the
channel of the Green river, at the scene of
the fatal landslide last fall, by building a
dam across the present channel. This, it
is thought, will prevent further landslides
at that point. Work will begun on the
dam on March /, by Contractor Long
The channel of the river will also be
changed near Palmer. where the truss
bridge will be removed in anticipation of
possible accidents during floods.
