THE PACIFIC CABLE.
Sentiment In Congress Not Favorable to
the President's Suggestions.

Sentiment In Congress Not Favorable to
the President's Suggestions.
New YoRK, January 1s.-The Suns
Washington correspondent telegraphs
the following: An inquiry among Sena-
tors and Representatives fails to develop
a sentiment in either House favoring
the legislation recommended by the
President in his recent message to amend
the Hawaiian treaty so that the consent
OF this government can be secured for
the construction OF cable under Eng
lish auspices from Vancouver to Aus
tralia via Honolulu. The Presidents
recommendation has not only brought
to the surface all the opposition to q
British cable, but has stirred up the
friends OF the American project who
have not been active during the present
Congress. Already several members
have in preparation bills authorizing the
laying OF Hawaiian cable under the
patronage OF the United States. One OF
the members OF the Senate Committee
on Foreign Affairs, who does not wish to
be quoted because he may be called upon
10 vote in the committee, in explaining
why there could be no legislation as rec
commended by the President said to-
day:
"The request on behalf of Great Brit
ain is made in order that it may secure
military cable in the Pacific Ocean, as
it has one in the Atlantic Ocean and
everywhere else. II this cable should
be landed in Hawaii with the consent OF
the United States, it would be- si0und
that, If an emergency should arise, the
United States could not send a single
order for the movement of any OF its
warships over it. Great Britain seeks
with this cable to strengthen its military
arms. The permission which is sought
| for in this message OF President ClevIe-
land, ] can assure you, will never be
granted by the United States Congress"

DEFlED THE JUDGE.
A Chicago Jury Refused to Render "a
Verdict as Ordered.

CHICAGO, January 18.-Neyer has
United States Court in Chicago been the
witness OF euch scene as occurred in
Judge Seaman's court to-day. An en-
tire jury rebelled against the order of
the Judge, and, though eleven Of the
jurors afterward submitted to the di-
rection OF the court, one Juror, julius
Clayton, refused even under protest to
obey the court. With long imprison-
ment staring him in the face for con-
tempt OF court he was firm, and at the
close OF the day scored victory over the
Judge. The jury was sitting on dam
age suit Of Mary Cahill vs. the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad, which
began January Z. Miss Cahil was Sc
riously injured at the Eighty-second-
street crossing by switch engine owned
by the defendant road. In the evidence
before the court the brakeman and engi-
neer admitted the facts as stated. The
attorney representing the road made a
motion, after the evidence was in, that
non-suit be entered on the ground that
there was no responsibility attached to
the road, as the action OF the switch en-
gine crew was not wanton or wIlliul,
and that the plaintiff was trespasser.
The jury was requested to retire, and
the motion was argued. Judge Seaman
said he would grant the motion and or
der the non.suit. After hot wrangle
bstween the attorneys Judge Seaman
delivered his charge to the jury. He
had. he said, nothing but sympathy for
the woman, but under the circum-
stances there was nothing for the jury
TO do but TO render verdict for the de-
PENDANTS. He continued:
This must be your verdict. So say
you all2"
Not a man OF the twelve moved or
made motion OF assent. On the faces
of the Jurors was seen dogged deter
mination. Later on all but Juror Clay
ton acquiesced in the Judges opinion.
The case was finally dismissed on the
stipulation that the order OF dismissal
should be equivalent to the rendering OF
verdict by the jury on order OF the
court and under the protest of the jury.
The jury was. anxious TO render verdict
Of $24, 900 for the woman.

O.. M. Irwin.

G. NJ. Irwin, Superintendent OF Pub
lie instruction, was born in Ohio, and
received his education at the Ohio Wes-
leyan University. His early years were
spent in Illinois, and he enlisted in the
army from that State upon the outbreak
Of the war and made a meritorious
record for himself in many of the his
toric battles of the great rebellion. In
1880 Mr.. Irwin came to Oregon, and has
since his arrival been prominently con-
nected with the educational affairs of
the State. For many years he was

tendent OF Public Instruction, for which

wins career in Oregon.

G. M. IdIeman.

G. NJ. Idleman, Attorney General, was
born in the Buckeye State 81 years ago,
and his early education and initiation
into the practical affairs of life were had
in that State. His first start was made
in the railway mail service on the Baiti-
more and Ohio line. He devoted all the
time at his disposal to the study of law,
and in 1883 was admitted to practice in
the courts of Ohio. Mr.. Idleman came
to Oregon in 1885, aud in copartnership
with two well-known jurists established
the firm OF Johnson, McCown & Idleman.
This firm Immediately took high rank in
the profession, and Mr.. Idleman has per-
sonally conducted many important cases
with distinguished success. Prolession-
ally and socially Mr.. Idli HI ali is regarded
as one of the brightest and most talented
young men OF the State, and his election
to the high Office of Attorney-General is
universally looked upon as a just recog-
milton OF his merits.

when he resumed his interrupted legal
studies. He was afterward appointed
Lieutenant OF the Second Artillery and
detailed for service on the Pacific Coast.
In 1868 he resigned from the army and
commenced practicing law at Salem, Or.
In 1873 he was elected State Senator for
Marion county, and resigned to accept
the dignified positionof Judge Of the Su-
preme Court in 1880. For fourteen years
Judge Lord was universally recognized
as one of the most distinguished jurists
on the Coast. As Chief Executive OF
the commonwealth of Oregon William
p. Lord will undoubtedly add new lau-
rels to those which have already crowned
his life and fill the gubernatorial chair
in manner creditable to the State
which elected him.

He settled at once at Eugene, where he
remained for two years. In 1856 he was
imbued with the prevailing mining fever
and tried his luck in the gold camps of
California. Not finding the life to his
taste, Mr., Kincaid returned to Eugene,
and has since been prominent char
acter in the world Of journalism as well
as in political affairs. In 1860 he was
both compositor and editor OF The Peo-

w. Ii. Leeds.

w. II. Leeds, State Printer, was born
in New Jersey, and is still under 40 years
of age. In 1877 Mr.. Leeds moved to Ta-
coma, Wash, where he engaged in the
newspaper and printing business until
1878, when he took up permanent
abode at Ashland, establishing the Ash
land Tidings, which stands to-day among
the leading journals of Southern Oregon.
Not only in that section, but throughout
the entire State, the Tidings has become
a household word as a strong, brainy
journal Until his nomination for State
Printer by the Republicans in 1894 Mr..
Leeds had always refused to run for any
Office. He is well equipped for the posi-
ton to which ne was elected, and will
bring the result of years of practical ex-
perience to bear in the discharge of his
duties. Through his journal Mr.. Leeds
has for many years been the mainstay
OF his party in jackson, Josephine, Lake
and Klamath counties. and his selection
for the office of State Printer by the Re-
publicans is only well-deserved reward
| for his work.

Phil Metschan.

Phil Metschan, State Treasurer, was
born in Germany, but came to this coun-
try at an early age, and possesses all the
distinguishing traits of stalwart Amer
icanism combined with the genial, frank
manner for which the Teutonic character
is noted. Mr.. Metschan located at Gin
cinnati on his arrival in America, and
has since resided at different times in
Kansas, Colorado and California. He
commenced life as a butcher, but has
since been engaged in extensive mercan-
tile affairs, and is to-day looked upon as
leader in public affairs. During a long
residence in Grant county be
filed many important offices with
great credit. He was County Treasurer
OF Grant for three terms and County
Judge from 1882 to 1886. In 1890 the
Republican party, recognizing his ster-
ling ability and purity OF character,
nominated Phil Metschan for State Treas
urer, and he filled the office SO success
fully that he was renominated and re-
elected in 1894 by large majority over
his Democratic and Populist opponents.

beyond the reach of his arguments he will find that he has miscalculated the power which his brief experience as a statesman has given him.
 It is said that his friends have in- formed him that the sentiment of the people of his state on the silver ques- tion has changed materially during the past year. That story has been sent out from nearly every state in the West as well as those from the South in the last few weeks. It is part of the pro- gram of the gold interest and is being worked for sll that can be got out ot it. The change, if there is any, in that direction, is confined to the inspired activity of the gold forces and is being worked by the politicians who hope for personal gain in the outcome provided the battle for bimetallism shall fail. But nobody is deserting the double standard, and it will not take Mr. Hoke Smith long to discover the fact when he once gets into the field.

THAT PRISON "FARM."

The Phoenix REPUBLICAN, in a recent editorial, took occasion to condemn the trrritorial prison farm alleging it to be subject to inundation by the Colorado river, and of no value whatsoever. We have no interest in the matter of THE REPUBLICANS feelings in reference to the powers that be, but we had always thought the paper had an interest in this section of the county sufficient to make it abstain from a perversion of facts for the sake of mere abuse of our resources.-Yuma Sentinel.
 THR REPUBLICAN has deep interest in Yuma county and an abiding faith in the city of Yuma. But it does not follow that it should remain quiet and permit outsiders to swindle both the people of the territory and Yuma county.
 There are thousands of acres of good land in Yuma county, but the parti- cular land in question is so bad that the superintendent of the prison says that the labor now being employed in cutting off the willows is thrown away.
 How much worse would it be if the whole prison force should be employed building canal in payment tor water rights for, this worthless 2,000 acres The scheme won't work and the pro- moters may as we'll turn their attention in some other direction.

LEGAL STATUS OF THE WHEEL.
 The legal status of the bicycle is be- ing established by court decisions all over the country as a result of the pop ularity and increasing use of the wheel for locomotive purposes. A day or two ago Judge Payne handed down a de- cision in Chicago holding the bicycle to be vehicle in the fullest sense of the word. The case was brought by a wheelman against the owner of an of- fee building, who had refused to allow him to take the pneumatic tired thing inside.
 After all the evidence was in the learned judge decided in favor of the owner of the building, and said the owner of the bicycle had no more right to take it into his office than he would have to take his buggy there if he owned one. The bicycle, he said, was a vehicle and subject to all the regu. lations applying to two-wheeled vehi- cles.
 This decision IS in the same line as that of the Pennsylvania courts in the turnpike case, holding the wheel liable for tolls. The decisions are not altogether inimical to the wheel men as they carry with their re. strictions all the rights and privileges accorded to owners of vehicles.

IT DOESN'T change the vicious features of the law creating the board of con- trol and the board of immigration coG- missioners whether the members are Republicans or Democrats, and if they were all Republicans the laws would be bad just the same. The measures are, however, Democratic and the members are controlled by the Democratic gov ernor, so the Herald's whine is too transparent to deceive anyone. It is simply defending its master, the Demo- cratic governor. By the way, speaking of Republicans there are some so- called Repu ublicans so closely associated with the present misfit Democratic ad- ministration that they are likely to be hit every time Shot is fired at it. Ii they don't want to get hurt why don't they get out ot the way?

A FRUITFUL VALLEY.

People who go through the Salt River valley at this season must be deeply impressed with it's wonderful pro- ductiveness. Everywhere are seen evidences of prosperity. The fields are teeming with bountiful crops. The pastures are covered with fat cattle. There is hardly anything like it in the civilized world.
 The famed Egyptian valley of the Nile does not surpass it in inexhaus- tibility of soil, while the products of the great valley of the Salt are fa1 more varied. useful and valuable. Not. wlthstanding the wailing of the calam ity howlers the farmers of the Salt River valley are growing richer every year. They have made wonderful i'm provements in the past decade. They are rapidly building comfortable and often stately homes. They have money to loan. They are educating their chil dren, and in a few years more ths great valley will be peopled by race unequaled on the continent.
