Judge Bellinger passed sentence last
Friday upon James Lotan and Seid
Back for their completely in the SNUG.
Cling con spiracy. Lotan was senten.
ced to pay fine Of $4,000 and Seid
Back fine Of $1,000. There was no
Imprisonment imposed In either case.
A week ago when the case was cal.
led, sentence was posponed in order to
allow Judge Durand to examine the
bill Of exceptions, on which the pro.
posed appeal to the supreme court was
grounded. A copy Of the bill Of exs
ceptions was forwarded 10 Judge Dur.
and, at Flint, Michigan, but no word
has beeh received from him. 1t was
thought therefore that there would be
another postponement. However,
Judge Bellinger had made up his
mind to pass sentence, and let the ap.
neal be perfected afterward.
Mr.. Lotan proceeded directly to the
office of the clerk of the court, and
handed Mr.. Ed ID. Mckee, clerk Of the
lTuited States district court, a check
for $4,000. As that cancelled the fine
and appeased the vengeance Of the
law. Mr.. Lotan walked forth free
man.

A Successful Hunt.

Captain Charles Lntjens, of the seal
schooner, Kate and Anna, arrived
from Grays Harbor, Monday evening,
where he has been otter hunting for
the past six weeks. The catch SO far
amounted to sixteen skins, six OF
which netted the neat sum Of $l7eO,
the other ten hides the captain ship

the Kate and Anna at Grays Harbor
in charge of the first mate, who will
shortly leave that port and hunt down
the coast to San Francisco, where Cap

and hunt up the coast again. He con-
siders this much more profitable than
going to the Japan sea, as he did sea-

proceeded on up the river, did not 90
any farther than the mouth Of the

near the surface Of the river made the
trip farther impossible. Captain Cor.

over the shoal by using lines, but this
was not considered necessary so he
headed the steamer for Salem; ;reec CHI

Of an hour or longer, the craft started
on her return to Portland. T. w.
Lee, superintendent Of the company,s
water lines, thinks the river at the
Santiam bar could be made navigable
at an expense not exceeding $500, and
such being the case, Major Post, the
government engineer, should send the
snag boat Corvallis there Immediately
to prosecute the work Of dredging the
bar and making permanent channel
fol, summer navigation. A few weeks
OF such work at different points on the
Willamette above the falls would
effect favorable changes and create a
renewal of activity among the boats Of
the different companies. Until the

Independence Moter Line.

INDEPENDENCE, Sept. 6.-There
is a rumor here that the Southern Pa
cific is about to purchase or lease the
motor line from Independence to Mon
mouth and run an express train that
will leave here in the morning and ar-
rive in Portland at 1000 II. ln., and
will leave Portland ut 400 p. nj, and
arrive here about 7:30 p, M. The pro-
prietors of the moter line disclaim all
knowledge of any such negotiations.
It would be great conveience to this
town. We could then so to the county
seat at Dallas in the morning, attend

Fruit lars.

What becomes of all the fruit jars
sold is as great a coundrum us what
becomes Of the pins. Every season
carloads Of fruit jars are received here,
and there is a never ending demand
for them. One firm alone has this
season disposed Of 5000 gross--that is
1900 dozen, or $4,000 jars. Several
other firms have disposed Of probably
nearly as fnuny, which means several
jars for every man, woman aud child
in this region. ut isa wonder To me- y
said dealer yesterday, what become
Of them. Of course, quite percent
age get broken, but many last years,
and it might he supposed that i'll a few
years everybody would have supply;
but the demand seems TO increase
every year, and it seems us II people
would never get enough.n 1t is likely
that the number of people who put up
fruit grows larger every year, and also
that the quantity put up by each is in
creased every year, as fruit becomes
better. more plentiful and cheaper

VENEZUELAN COMMISSION
The President Having More Trouble Than
Was Anticipated.
One Member to Be Justice of the
Supreme COurt-The Other
Two Selected.

The Venezuelan boundary commission was
not appointed today, and the impression IS
growing that the President is having more
trouble than was anticipated in the salec-
ton of the members. The matter will GER
tainly be settled within the next few days,
and there will be some disappointment If
the appointment of the commissioners shall
be delayed beyond the present week. 1t is
asserted that the question Will be settled at
tomorrow's meeting of the cabinet. Consid-
erab.e speculation has been INDUCED in as
to the membership of the commission, and
many distinguished men have been men,
toned in that connection.
1t seems to he accepted that a member of
the Supreme Court will be on the commits
sion, probably as its president, and also that
the Presdenrh had practically selected Chief
Justice Fuller for that honor. InaSmuch as
Judge Fuller is in feeble state of health at
present, however, it has been found neces-
sary to look elsewhere fer a suitable head
for the commission. With respect to the
Supreme Court member the choice is said
to lie between Mr.. Justice Brewer and Mr.
Justice Brown in the order named.
According to a report which has a strong
appearance of robability, the President has
invited Mr.. Edward j. Phelps of Vermont
and Mr. Robert Lincoln of Illinois to serve
as members of the commission. These two
gentlemen have represented the United
States at the court of St. James, and stand
high in the estimation eff the British author
tiles. ANY conclusion reached by them in
regard to the matter in controversy would
undoubtedly have great weight with the
British government. The delay in the off
ci;-l announcement of their appointment is
SAID TO be due either to the failure to secure
tneir acceptance TO serve or to the Presi-
dents desire to defer the announcement
until all the arrangements for the organiza-
ton OF the commission have Eeen completed.

PAY DUTIES IN GOLD.
senator Wilson Thinks That Neces-
snry to Maintain II Gold Standard.

IF our country is to use the gold stand
ard 1t seems to me to be plain that we
should enact a law that all import duties
should be payable in gold" said Senator
Wilson Of Washington to Star reporter
today. I'VE cannot long keep barrel full
of cider if we let out cider at the spigot
and pour in water at the bung, and no
more can we keep up the gold reserve
when we pay out gold exclusively and take
in greenbacks and silver. The nations
which insist on the gold standard surely
will not lie found objecting to the payment
of tariff duties in gold. If they exact gold
from us nothing in the world is clearer
than that we should exact gold from them
with steady flow of gold into our
treasury the government can easily main
tain the parity of gold and silver at the
present ratio of l to 10, even with unlimited
coinage of our own silver product In any
event let US at once make all tariff duties
payable in gold, thereby causing those who
have heen so ins}stent in their demands for
gold to return some portion of it to the
natioral treasury. If the great importers
OF the country are 50 solicitous for the re-
Gemption of all our paper currency in gold
they should have no objection in making
payments on their own imports in gold
Some people will say this would lessen our
imports. l say that would be desirable as
1t would give American labor more employ
IEent and at better wages"

AN UNLIKELY STORY,

The Report of an Attempt to Pur-
chase the General NerinO.
A story comes from New Brunswick that
the Navy Department is negotiating for
the purchase of the light-draught gunboat
General Nerino, now building at the yards
of Hugh Ramsay at Perth Amboy, for
the United States of Colombia The con-
tract for the vessel was made with the
New York consul of that government The
vessel is 40 feet long and Il feet wide, with
a maximum draught of feet inches. She
is designed for service in the shallow bays
and rivers of Colombia. She is being con-
structed at Perth Afnboy, and will be sent
to Colombia in parts and there put to-
gether. The hull will be of three-sixteenths
steel, and all vital parts of the ship will
be protected with chrome or nickel steel
al NOR. The boat is to have a guaranteed
speed OF Is knots per hour. Her armament
will consist of three guns. One of them
will be located in the hollow mast.
The other two will be one forward and
the ether aft, both of them Maxim rapid
fire, each capable of shooting 600 shots a
minute and able to kill at one mile. A
powerful sea search light will be placed on
the pilot house.
The report that the United States is ne
gotiatinS for this vessel is ridiculed at the
Navy Department. There are no funds
available for such purpose, and the Secre-
tary of the Navy could not purchase the
vessel even if he so desired without the
specific authority of an act of Congress.

FOR THE LAST TIME:
No More Closing at Noon the Day
Before Il HOLIDAY

The time-honored custom of closing the
executive departments at noon on the day
before national holidays was observed for
the last time on Christmas eve Such is
the dictur, of the President ana the mem
bers of his cabinet. The question of clos
irg the departments at noon on the day
before Christmas was the subject of dis
cussion at a meeting of the cabinet last
Tuesday. Some of the members expressed
grave doubts of the legality of the action.
and it was decided while the clerks and
employees should be excused at noon the
day before Christmas. they would be given
to understand that the privilege was ex-
tended for the last time Consequently all
the departments will be run on full time
with their entire available force on the day
before New Year day just the same as to-
day or any other regulation work day
