THE OREGON SHORT LINE AFFAIR
Latest Developments Indicate a Com.
pcte REORGANIZATION.

Portland, Or, June SO-The American
Loan and Trust Company will not accent
the terms imposed by the decision of
Judge Merritt in the Oregon Short Line
and Utah Northern receivership case, but
will begin foreclosure proceedings. Ex-
Senator Dolph, counsel for the Junior
mortgage bondholders of the Oregon
Short Line and Utah Northern was seen
this evening and when asked If it were
true that the effort for a separate receiv-
ership for the Oregon Short Line and
Utah Northern has been abandoned, he
said:
1.-THE effect Of Judge Merritt's decision
was such as to stop all further proceed
ings by the American Loan and Trust
Company along the line they have been
pursuing. The court has simply imposed
conditions with which the second mort
gage cannot afford to comply and it has
decided on the better policy of foreclosing.
The American Loan and Trust Company
would not raise the interest due on the
bonds prior to the mortgage and take the
road if it was to be controlled in any de-
gree by the Union Pacific.
THE American Loan and Trust Com
pany will proceed to foreclose It's mort
gage Immediately The American Loan
and Trust Company will sell the road
and the foreclosure proceedings will un-
doubtedly be brought by the bondholders
under the junior mortgage. This will
mean that the mortgage will be paid off
and general reorganization of the prop
erty be undertaken"

DR.. Buchanan EIectrocuted in
Sing Sing.
DEATH CAME lNSTANE0USLY
Last Efforts TO obtain Reprieve and
the Law Was Allowed to Take
Its Course.

Sing Sing, July with two electric
contacts consuming not over a million.
DR.. Buchanan was put to death in Sing
Sing prison today just before noon.
Like all others who have preceded
him, he went to death calmly and did
not say a word In the death chamber
The only appearance of fright or weak
ness was the fact that he closed his eyes
when he entered and did not open them
again. Two contacts were made, but all
physicians and electricians claim that
the second contact was merely precau-
tionary and that the victim died in
stantly. There were no burns and no
unpleasant features and every physi-
clan present declared the execution a
success. The body was claimed by
friends, and the case will go down into
history as a cause celebre.

ers Return Empty Handed.

Oklahoma, o. T., July 1.-The posse
which went in pursuit of the escaped
Christian brothers are coming in one by
one, chagrined over their failure to cap
ture the murderers. The trail of Bob
Christian, who was shot in the neck, was
found on the bank of the North Canadian
river four miles east of this city. The
marks indicate where he entered the river,
but careful scrutiny of the bank shows
no place where he came out.
Gus White. who was shot in the abdo-
men and leg, lies in critical condition
and Is not expected to recover. Jailer
Garver's wound is not serious. Mrs.
Hurst, occupant of the buggy, and who
was forcibly thrown from the carriage
by Casey. is very low from the effects of
the shock.

Troops and Warships Massed at
VladIvostock.
FOR WAR IN THE ORIENT
Entrance TO the Harbor Is Planted Full
or Explosives and Torpedoes-
Story of a Captain.

Tacoma Wash, June 30.-The Nor
wegian steamer Oscar H., which ar
rived today is days from Vladivostock,
Siberia, brings news that the indica-
tons are good for an Oriental war, un-
known to the outside world. Captain
r. Anderson of the steamer says:
Russia has massed 5000 men at
Vladivostock and it is believed in ST.
IBERIA that preparations are being made
for an advance on Japan. Russia has
been secretly but actively at work and
in the event of trouble with Japan is
prepared to hurl a formidable navy and
land force into the coveted territories
which Japan has wrested from China.
"These ships and troops have been
massed at Vladivostock, where the
scene is decidedly warlike. The en-
trance to the harbor at Vladivostock
is planted full of torpedos and no YES
sells are allowed to pass in or out with
out Russian naval officers on board,
as well as experienced Russian pilots
! who know here the torpedos are plant
ed. My vessel was escorted in this
manner in going in and out of the har-
Dor. Inside the entire fleet of Russian
warships is massed, ready to steam
down the coast at a moments notice.
centrated and the evidence is clear that
Russia is fully prepared for trouble in
case the Japanese give any occasion
for it,
THE massing of these ships and
troops at Vladivostock has been done
secretly by Russia, and unusual pre-
cautions have been taken to prevent
the spread of any intelligence regard
ing the actual forces she has quartered
I there. What Russia's designs are can
not, of course, be told and are purely
conjecture, but if she builds railway
line south of Vladivostock to the Yellow
sea, her intention is to obtain an open
port and to hold it at all hazards.
1.-THE whole country looks like war
and the situation is considerab bly, strain
ed, but the peace element is hoping
that the tension may be relieved and
matters settled without a resort to
arms"
1t was intimated to Captain Anderson
before he left that the government
would be pleased If he did not take
pains to spread his knowledge of the
operations at Vladivostock, but he die
not hesitate much this evening wher
asked to tell what he knew, as he
thinks the world is entitled to know the
facts. The Oscar II. carried to Vladiv.
ostock a cargo of cement for construct
ing the trans-Siberian railway. Ander-
son says the construction OF this road
is being rapidly pushed, the car OF
Russia having given orders to finish
1t as quickly as possible. AS soon as
this line is finished, he says, the Rus.
sian government intends extending II
from Vladivostock through Manchuria
and Corea to the yellow sea.

NEW MONTANA CODE IN EFFECT
Considered TO BE the Most Complete in
the United States.

Helena, July 1.-The new state codes
adopted by the last legislature went into
effect today and work some revolutions in
the laws of the state.
The codes extend the time of equity of
redemption of mortgages to one year, and
the statutes of limitation are changed.
The New York system Of drawing juries
and the New York rule Of summons are
substantially adopted. The civil code is
substantially the David Dudley Field
code, so largely in force in California.
Taken as a whole 1t is believed that the
codes are the most complete in the United
States. 1t is considered to be the intention
that all actions now in the courts will be
determined by the laws in force when
they were instituted The codes have just
been printed and it will take some time to
determine carefully their effect.

MEXICO WILL DO HER OWN MlNTINe
Has Resumed Control OF That Important
Branch of the Government.

City of Mexico, July 1.-The government
of Mexico today resumed control of the
minis, and will hereafter levy uniform
tax of 5 per cent. on all the gold and sill
yer contained in the ore mined in the
country, without regard to where ii is
smelted. For several years the minis have
been leased to private individuals, who,
while they have charged mintage tax,
have put it on a somewhat different basis
from that proposed by the government.
The charge for minting gold and silver
has been almost Az per cent, while the
government has collected in addition 81
of 1 per cent, making tax of over .
per cent. to be paid by all the Mexican
mine owners having their ores coined into
money in Mexico, while those who sent
their product to smelters either in the
United States or Mexico escaped the tax.
1t was this condition of affairs that Undue
ed the government to assume control of
the minis, and to tax all ore irrespective
of where il is treated.
