Peck Says Wisconsin is not Silver State.
NEW YORK, May, 17.-George F.
Peck, the recent Democratic governor
of Wisconsin, is at the Holland house.
Speaking of the condition of his state,
he said:
I. "You see a good deal printed in
the papers in the east about Wis
consin being torn wide open on the
silver question. Those reports were
perhaps true about month ago, but
conditions are very different today.
The bubble has burst and the farmers
and merchants are thinking for them
selves, and this thought has not done
much for silver, When the craze first
started saw lot of men who expected
to make political capital out OF the
movement. Now, political ambition is
all right, perhaps, but the men who
have focked to the silver standard l
do not think did 1t on account of con-
victions, but Through the idea OF gain
ing political chances One month ago
had an election taken place with sill
yer ticket in the field, I believe IL
would have swept the country. Today
the silverites have only scant follow
ing. Suppose a man had been elected
on a silver ticket, he would hate him
self all through his term of office, for
he would know very well that he could
mot deliver the goods Prosperity is
returning, and with it better under
standing of the financial question OF
the day. say confidently that Wis
consin is securely within the ranks for
sound currency, and nothing can shake
her allegiance"

CHICAGO, May 1S,-The Tribune prints
a special from Washington which
says that Chief Justice Fuller has COM
pleted writing decision which upsets
the income-tax law and entirely wipes
it off the statute books. The decision
has been put in type, returned from
the printer, and is now being consid-
cred by the majority of the justices
solely on the grounds of its general
expressions. The law itself is thing
of the past.
This result has been reached only
after series of remarkable changes in
the court, the entire history of which
is not likely to be given to the public.
The conference of Saturday devel-
oped the fact that Chief Justice Fuller
and Justices Field, Gray and Brewer
were still opposed to the law as a
whole. Practically the whole court
nicipal bonds. A majority of the court,
including Justice Jackson, was oppos-
ed to the tax on rentals. An apparent
law as a whole, but just at this junction

ing the first hearing, began to show
evidences of changing front. Thus it
will seem that Justice Brown changed
front on the rental question, and JUS
tice Shiras changed back on the law
itself. He was still undecided when
Chief Justice Fuller started to write
an opinion, and the Chicago member
of the court did not know whether he
was writing the decision of the court
or dissenting opinion. Finally JUS
tice Shiras took his stand with the op-
ponents of the law, and then the chief
justice went to work on his opinion.
knowing it would go down into history
as the decision of the court. 1t will
most certainly be handed down on
Monday, and the chances are that
there will be several individual opin-
ions delivered at the same time.

A rRAaEpYN IDAHO.
One Person Dead and Two Others
Wounded.


LEWISTON, Idaho, May 2O.-Johr
Siers, known as Buena, on account OF
his valor at the battle of Buena Vista,
is dead, with two bullets wounds in his
back; M. F. Ward, one of his assail-
ants, is probably fatally wounded from
Winchester bullets in his stomach,
and Mrs. Goddard, who killed Siers, is
in custody awaiting the action of the
coroner's jury. The trouble is the
outcome of feud of long standing.
Ten years ago the firm of Schissler
& Siers was one of the wealthiest in
North Idaho. Six years ago Schissler
died. The firms property was disposed
of and farm at Waha, Is miles from
here, was sold to M. F. Ward, Mrs.
Goddard's son-in-law, for $40, 900.
Yesterday with three friends. Siers
drove to the farm. Anticipating
trouble, he took Winchester rifle and
a revolver. He leaned his rifle on the
fence, and then started for the door.
Ward, who was in ambush, opened fire
on him with revolver. Siers drew
his revolver. AS he was trying to locate
his assailant, Mrs. Goddard came up
behind and fired two shots with re-
volver into Siers' back. AS the dying
man fell to the ground, Ward rushed up
and dubbed him over the head with his
revolver.
The fusilade happened so quickly
that Siers' friends in the road had no
time to interfere, but when Ward was
beating the dying man, one of them,
Shorthill, grabbed Siers' rife from the
fence and began to shoot at Sier's as
sailants. He sent Ward to the earth
with two bullets in his stomach, and
shattered the pistol hand of Mrs. Cod
dard at the wrist. Mrs. Goddards' 13-
year-old son rushed from the house
with Winchester and revolver and
chased Shorthill three miles, to Lake
house, summer resort, where the lat
ter escaped

in the Hova government offices, and a
copy was registered at the American
consulate at Tamatave. Waller, the
present American consul, had already
furnished the state department with
the official record in the case. The
French resident-consul in Madagascar
insisted that Waller should submit his
csncession to him for approval and
registration. Mr.. Waller refused to
do this, apprehending that the French
official would promptly reject his
concession and deny him justice. He
claimed that the French protectorate,
being confined by treaty to jurisdiction
over foreign relations only, could not
be held To- give the French officials the
right to pass on the validity of his con-
cession. According to Mr.. Bray's
statement, matters were in this condi-
tion when he and Waller projected the
trip from Tamatave to the Conchion,
where the French were making depre-
dations on their valuable rubber trees.
AS soon as the French became aware
of this movement, they promptly ar

OREGON JOURNALISM.
Interesting Address Giving the History of
the First Newspaper In Oregon.

the First Newspaper in Oregon.
George H. Hines, in a recent ad-
dress before the historical society,
spoke in an interesting manner OF
early coast journalism. A portion Of
the address contained the following:
"The first printing press west of the
Rocky mountains was sent from Bos-
ton to the Sandwich islands in 1919,
for use of the missionaries of the
American board, and they, in turn, in
1929, sent it, with type and other be-
longings, including small stock OF
paper0the whole valued at $45O-to
what is now Lapwai, Idaho, then the
mission station of Rev. ii. II. Spauld-
ing, also missionary of the American
board. The printer rcharge was Mr..
E. o. Hall, who came with his wife
from the islands for the benefit Of her
health.
"The first newspaper started west Of
the Rockies was the Oregon Spectator,
which was issued at Oregon City. Feb
ruary 5, 1S46, printed semi-monthly,
by John Flemming, for the Oregon
Printing Association, of which w. G.
Vault was president; J. w. Nesmith,
yice-president; ]. p. Brooks, secretary;
George Abernethy, treasurer, and r.
N. Newell, ]. E. Long and J. n.
Couch, directors. The paper was
15x22, and contained 16 columns. w.
G. T. Vault, pioneer OF 1S45, then
postmaster-general of the provisional
government, was elected editor on
salary of $500 per year. While he was
an uncompromising Democrat OF the
Jeffersonian school, and never so
happy as when stoutly promulgating
its principles, the constitution OF the
printing association made it necessary
that the editor of the paper should
eschew politics."

AN OLD MANS CRIME.
Brutal Murder Committed Near Grants

Brutal Murder Committed Near Grants
Pass.
GRANTS PASS, Or, May 19.-One
of the most cruel murders of the year
was committed near this city about 2
P. M. today. Charles Fiester, man
of 68 years of age, drowned his wife,
aged about 55 years. in a hole of water
near the railroad track. The crime
was committed in the presence of their
three young children, the eldest of
whom was ten years.
The pair had been separated for q
long time, and when Fiaster came to
town he prevailed on his wife to go to
Merlin, where he was logging, and
keep house for them. The woman
consented to go far week, and they
started to Merlin, nine miles distant,
with the three small children. After
going about five miles on the way a
quarrel came up about her receiving
letters from some man, and after hot
quarrel Mrs. Fiester started back for
Grants Pass, but was soon caught by
Fiester and dragged to hole of wa
ter, about three feet deep, near the
track, and he held her under the water
until she was dead. After the woman
was dead the man claims to have tried
to drown himself, but failed, and set
ting down on the track, sent the chill
dren to Merlin to tell the folks what
he had done. He remained until the
crowd came up from Merlin, and then
came to Grants Pass and gave him
self up to Sheriff Hiatt.

is uncertain when the balance will be

syndicate members of extra gold is an
other step in the same direction.
There is authority for the statement
that the progress of events in the de-
sired direction has been good deal
faster than the syndicate expected or
even hoped would be the case. The
development of foreign investment on
large scale, so noticeable last month,
has practically assured the country
against any large demand for gold for
many months to come. Most of the
syndicate's preparations were made
against this danger.

of London, Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Ron.
ais, and several aldermen took seats
upon the bench preparatory to the
second trial Of Oscar Wilde, charged
with serious misdemeanors.
Wilde previously had been driven to
Old Bailey, accompanied by Lord
Douglass, of Hawick, and Rev. Stewart
Headlam, his two bondsmen. He
looked haggard, but had apparently
improved in health since his release on
bail, and walked smilingly into the
prisoners door dock, where he took a
stand beside Alfred Taylor, charged
with similar offenses.
Sir Edward Clarke, @. c., counsel
for Wilde, made an elaborate argu-
ment in favor of having Wilde tried
separately. The Judge agreed, and de-
cided to try Taylor first. Sir Edward
Clarke then dwelt at length on the
great injustice done his client by hav-
ing to wait while Alfred Taylor was
tried, but in spite of the argument of
his counsel, Wilde looked only too
pleased as he stepped from the dock
and the judge allowed his bail to be
renewed and he was again released
from custody on bail.
1t is probable Wilde's trial will go.
over until the next session of the CEN
trail criminal court, and there is evil
IDENTIFY but slight chance of his con-
viction. Indignant comment is heard
on all sides at the turn events have
taken.

A Letter Written by General Come.

A Letter Written by General Gomez.
NEW YORK, May 20.-A special to
the Herald from Hoguin, Cuba, says:
General Gomez, Of the Cuban armies,
who passed near this place escorted by
cavalry force of 1900 men on his way
to Puerto Principe, has sent letter
to the Herald, of which the following
is translation:
"Magnaminity will mark this war as
we'll as untiring energy. Among the
veterans of the previous struggle flock
ing to my standard to guide the rank
and file of the younger generation of
patriots of liberty to sure victory,
there is noticeable spirit of determi-
nation and an energy far superior to
anything displayed during our last
war, and entirely free from certain
Objectionable features which has ten
ed to lOcaliZe our movements and
prevent rapidity of operations. The
outlook for the success of the present
revolution before many years is so
bright that there can now be no doubt
that the republic of Cuba will be one
of the new states soon to occupy its
place among the free governments of
the world. Martinez Campos has by
force of circumstances been compelled
to accept the only plan OF campaign
left to him to enable Spain temporarily
to maintain possession of the larger
towns and principal coast ports, and
these will soon slip from her sickly
grasp. Campos will require a double
army, one of occupation and one of
operation. For the first, he must have,
as any military expert who knows the
strength of the revolution and who
possesses a knowledge of geography Of
the island may see at glance, at least
80, 900 men in order to occupy and de-
fend the cities, towns and strategic
outposts already threatened by the
revolution. For his army of operation
as many more troops will be required
to enable him to face our forces in the
field.
'sTo maintain the war until spring,
from physical and financial exhaustion
she will be compelled, as she was in
Santo Domingo, to give up the fight.
Free Cuba will not need such large
| military force, for. with our superior
knowledge of the island we can with
one and the same army of much less
strength numerically, assisted as we
are by these advantages and by all the
natural resources of the island, compel
the Spanish army of occupation to
keep strictly with the army; of opera
tion, harassing the enemy upon every
hand by our alternate movements of
sudden dissemination and quick con-
centrations.
