This dispatch says the government is not

Many Chinese soldiers, both at Port Ar

Port Arthur, left before the engagement
though few remained, having been
armed and ordered to resist the Japanese

in the confusion Of the 6ght it was inn
possible to distinguish them from Chi

by the sight of the fearfully mutiiated
bodies of their comrades, some OF whom
had been burned alive and some c-ucitied
Notwithstanding this, the discipline of

Snow and sleishing.

While delightful spring weather prevails
IN this vicinity, on the Tygh rijge in the
neighborhood OF Kingsley the residents are
enjoying good sleighIng. and the merry
jingling of bells may be heard any hour in
the day. The snow is about six inches
deep on the ground. and this has become
packed and hard so that sleighs glide over
it with the greatest facility. THIS is the
season Of rest and recuperation for farmers,
and as the soil has produced abuudantly
during the last year they are in proper
mood for enjoying themselves. Winter is
out of joint without snow, aud there is no
amusement equal to being warmly wrapped
and being driven rspidly over the glisten-
ing surface of the earth, made white aud
beautiful by snow behind ''spanking
team" Of horses. Our Kingsley neghbors
have this royal enjoyment while the unfor-
tunate residents Of this city plod through
mud and muck nearly ankle deep.

Accused of Undue Haste.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-There- was a
spirited incident before the banking and
currency committee today. Representa-
tive Walker, of Massachusetts, said he
understood . programme had been quiet
ly arranged by which currency bill
would be considered by the Democrats
of the committee tonight, by the full
committee tomorrow night, and TO be
presented to the house Monday. Chair
man Springer said this programme was a
mere surmise. All the committee had
actually done was to agree to meeting
Sunday night. it being understood final
vote on the bill could then be taken.
Walker thereupon moved the committee
should not consider such agreement. He
said:
I'VE have been turning over this cur
rency question for the pest 10 months,
and at the end of that time Secretary
Carlisle comes in with bill which he
tells US he dictated hurriediy to stem
ographer before coming to the committee
room. No man living could prepare a
measure affecting such vast interests in
less than week. Yet this is the bill that
is to be reported off-hand. This haste is
not becoming to us as Legislators. There
should be full consideration of the
question without limit to time"
Walkers motion to reconsider was
voted down by a strict party division.
Ayes. Walker, Brossius and Johnson
(Indiana), Republicans; noes, Sperry,
Cox, Ellis. Cobb (M'ssourD, Warner,
Black (GeorgIa) and Springer, Democrats
johnson added his protest to that OF
Walker. He said he had first agreed to
meeting tomorrow uight because he
knew the majority had virtually agreed
on bill, and was ready to push it through
the committee SO it was useless 10 resist
the haste.

,,n,her,ue G,us,s Murderers

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 17-It Is not like
iy that C A Rlixt, the self-confessed
murderer of Catherine Cling, will be
hanged. He will be brought before
Judge Hicks, of the district CONT. today,
where he will enter the plea of guilty.
Sentence will not be passed, however,
until be has been used as witness for the
state in the Henry Hayward case, ana
then it is expected that he will be given
a life sentence. The court has appointed
Judge R Shaw, w A Hahn and + 81
Carlton, three able criminal lawyers, to
defend him, but when they attempted to
hold a consultation with him yesterday,
Blixt refused to have anything to do with
them. He ls still in the st. Paul jail, and
continues to protest that be is innocent,
and claims that when be tells his story
there will be some sensational disclosures.
Claus A Blixt, the self-confessed muir
derer of Catherine Cling, was arraIgned
in the district court this morning aud in
weak voice pleaded not guilty. The
case was set for trial January z. in spite
of Attorney Odell's demand that it be

Debs and his OILERS.

CHICAGO, Dee. 10 The convicted Off
GERS and directors of the American Rail-
way Union had conference with their
attorney, Clarence Darrow, in the latter'k
Office yesterday afternoon as to the best
way of proceeding now that they have
been sentenced to spend term 10 Jail :.
Attorney parTow SAID he did not think
there was any doubt they had the right
to appeal, although an appeal is not usual
in such cases. The matter Is one for ar.
gument, and as the question would have
to be argued before Judge Woods, the
defendants smile grimly when this
method of obtaining their release Is men
toned. Another plan, and the one thst
will probably be adopted, is to ask the
supreme court for habeas corpus. This
can be done, Mr.. Darrows says, without
going through the intermediate court of
appeals, or a writ of habeas corpus can
be asked from any United States circuit
Judge, and, If he decides not to grant 1t,
an appeal can be taken to the supreme
court. 1t is by no means certain yet that
the men will have to gP to jail, and 1t is
asserted tina: they Will not have to go
until Dec. 90, which Is the expiration of
the 10 days gwen them by Judge Woods.
Before the 10 days have expired, Attor-
ney Darrow will have mapped out some
line of PROCEDURE, and while i'll pending
the men have the right to go free on bail
which they will avail themselves OF.

ASTORIA, Dec. 15-At 10: 80 this morn
ing, the Relief towed the British ship
Marion Ballantyns, 30 days over. due, from
Acapulco, inside and dropped her at
anchor of the Fort Stevens dock, then
proceeded to sea with another vessel.
About o'clock a boatsmsn brought
word from the Baliantyue that the health
officer was needed on board, as a number
of the crew were down with mslarial
fever. A launch was procured at once
and Health Officer Walker and Deputy
United States Marshal Smith started for
the vessel. The sight of half dozen
palhd faces peering over the bulwarks of
the ship, as the launch came alongside,
told only too plainly the condition OF the
ships crew. DR.. Walker went on board
alone and made an examination of the
sick. He reports not an able bodied man
on board, 10 of whom are down with
fever, the bostsWain being seriously ill.
He placed the ship in quarantine and left
Deputy Smith in charge. tilot Dan Nc.
VIckor was compelled to remain on board.
As soon as the health officer left, the ting
Relief returned and towed the BaIlantgne
to anchor off the Seaside cannery. DR..
Walker says he cannot tell II there is any
disease on board, but thinks
it IS only violent type of malarlal fever.
If the latter, the whole crew will be taken
to the hospital tomorrow, after another
Medicine was lett with the
captain by the officer and the invalids
we're made comfortable for the night.

A Huntsman's Paradise.

The Mongolian pheasant and California
and Oregon quail which were let loose on
Fifteen Mile creek two years ago have
multiplied wonderfully, and they can be
seen almost any hour in the day. They
have not been molested since they have
been turned loose, and the sporting men
of Dufur have not disturbed them In
their haunts. In few years Fifteen
Mile creek will be a paradise for game.
and nimrods will have plenty of sport In
that vicinity. Seme of those interested
in game, among them Johnston Bros. and
q. p Balch, at Dufur will send TO Iowa
tor some Bob White quail this winter,
and let them miRgle with the former den-
liens of the woods and glens around Fif-
teen Mile creek. The sportsmen in that
neighborhood have imported dogs and
other means tor royal hunts in the future,
and they are good shots.

cure political election and appointment.
Objection came at once from dozen men.

such show of feeling was all the proof
he wanted that bis shot had hit the mark.
President Gompers denounced as lie

defied Tobin or any other delegate to
point to a vulnerable place in his career
as to honesty. He charged that it was a
cowardly, covert attack upon organized
labor.
After spirited debate the preamble to
the political programme was struck out

loads of horses to South Carolina, and in
adjusting the freight tariff the railroad com.
pany charged up the entire amount to Mr..
Jacobs, and he kicked because he wanted
the other s.ockman 10 pay his share of the
freight. The RAILROAD company, as usual,
got up on its ear and refused to alter ITS
freight bill, aud proceeded to sell the horses.
while the owner of them began proceedings
for damages.

from Apia, Samoa, of December 8, are to
the effect that the well-known novelist,
Robert Louis Stevenson. had died sud-

1900 feet high. At the time of bis death
Mr.. Stevenson had half completed the
writing of new novel. Some time ago
Mr.. Stevenson, who was suffering from
lung trouble, went to the South Pacific
for mis- health. He became enraptured
with the Samoan island, and decided to
take up his residence and spend the rest
OF his days there. He took close in
terest IN Samoan sffalrs, and has written
many letters to the newspapers in favor
of the natives as against the treaty powers,
under whose direction the government of
the islands Is conducted.
