ton, who gave interesting lectures
recently at different parts in The
Palouse country, talked very enter
tainingly about this section to &
Spokane Chronicle reporter after
his return. Being a scientist O
unusual ability and extensive ex-
perience, his words have much
weight.
''The study of the formations in
what is called the Palouse country
was very interesting to me-" he
said. ""1he soil seems to have been
formed by the wind and not by the
water. One class of soil is formed
by glacial drifts and the continuous
action of the water. Such is the
formation on the Sound and about
Spokane. But the Palouse country
appears to have been formed by the
wind and not by the Aeolian OF
Loess process. This is where the
entire soil of the country, hills and
valleys, is formed by the vino
carrying the particles and deposit
ing them. Aeolian soil is some
times very fine, sometimes coarse
but in the same section of the coun
try it everywhere is of the same
fneness. The particles of the dus
are carried by the wind and o
course the heaviest fall first. Des
erts are formed in this way. The
fine dust may be carried hundreds
of miles further and then being de
posted make rich soil.
"This seems to be the nature o
the soil in the Palouse country. [
is a very fine, soft soil, absolutely
free from grit. This nature of tn
Palouse soil convinces me that it il
of wind formation. But there is an
other reason for believing so.
'In a country formed by water
the hills will often have a hollow
scooped out on top, sometimes
filled with water. But the vino
makes hills that are rounded knobs
Such is the shape of the Palous'
hills. The wind came from the
southwest. In this direction th'
hills slope gently away. But or
the northeast they break away IL
abrupt shoulders.
This fine soil is very fertile. L

petually fertile. In the whole worle
I know of only one locality which
has similar soil. This is the
north of China, in the two provinces
of Shansi and Shensi, west of Pc
king. This is the original home o
the Chinese, from which they
spread out over the rest of China
This soil is wonderfully fertile, TO
though it has been cultivated TO
1000 years, it remains unchanged

to be the same, from which | an

large attendance at the stake confer
ence today In the morning, Apostle
Grant spoke On the position of the
authorities on the manifesto He took
up the questions asked by the Journal,
and answered that Moses Thatcher
had not been tried nor judged, and
said that it was wrong to judge with
out hearing Il was his belief, how
ever, that Moses was in the dark.
In the afternoon, Apostle Grant
spoke On obedience.
Joseph F. aso took the same text
and said it was the duty of the Saints
to follow the advice of their leaders
without questions. He denied that the
church had sought to unite with the
state; but whenever its influence was
used it was for the good of the people
The manifesto was then read by
Apostle Grant with emphasis on GER
tain sections.
About two-thirds of those present
voted From twenty to twenty-five

Sentence for Embezzling Public
Money Imposed Upon Man in
Mexico-A Peculiar Case.

CITY OF MEXICO, May BIN the case
of Chester Rowe of Poweshick county,
Iowa, accused of embezzling public mon
eys, Judge Aguelar last evening imposed
a sentence of twelve years and two
months Imprisonment in Belim prison
This case has been notable one in the
history OF Mexican Jurisprudence, as Rowe
after committing the offense came here
and took out papers of citizenship, hop
mig thus to evade punishment. But under
the penal code an offense committed
abroad and continued on Mexican soil is
punishable, and Rowe's case will serve as
warning for criminals hoping to find
safe asylum in Mexico. Lawyer Alfore,
for the plaintiff, said Rowe only made
himself a Mexican to evade punishment
that awaited him in Iowa for misappro-
priating funds-$5S, 900. He had deserted
his family, never having sent his wife
but $50 from here. Rowe's defenders
CLAIMED that their client was not wholly
mitted in the United States. The case was
appealed to the supreme court, but it is
generally believed among lawyers here
that the decision will be sustained.
Mr.. Blackstone, who came from Iowa to
prosecute the case, says the American
people will warmly applaud the decision,

minor concessions are granted.
The electric railway company had
seen that a st-ike was to occur and
have been quietly arranging to fill the
strikers places. A number of men
have been brought here from other
cities to take the place of the strikers
and are quartered in the several barns.
The strike was determined on at mid
night tonight, at a mass meeting of
the members of the union, when it was
learned by the officers of the union that
men of other cities were being i'm
ported and that the company was pre-
pairing to Immediately fill the
PLACES OF THE OLD EMPLOYEES.
Cooks arrived from Chicago tonight
and were at once taken to car barns,
where arrangements were made to feed
the new men who will sleep in the
barns as long as they are in danger OF
violence. Similar arrangements will be
made at the power house on River
street.
Special policemen will be sworn in
tomorrow, some of whom will be
stationed at the barns and power
houses and others will be placed on

But One Session of the General
Conference Held Yesterday.
CLEVELAND, May S.-There was but
one session of the Methodist general con-
ference today. That was held in the af-
ternoon at the armory. Bishop Fowler of
Minneapolis, presided. read the scripture
and preached the sermon, prayer being
offered by Rev. DR.. Upham, of Drew
Theological seminary. Bishop Fowler's
sermon was a powerful arraignment of
higher critics of the Bible, the speaker
showing by biblical and scientific argu-
ment that the mass of the criticisms
passed on the scripture were without
foundation. The address was listened to
with marked attention by a large audi
ence. a large number of the ministerial
delegates to the conference supplied pull
pits IN Cleveland and surrounding towns
this morning and evening The delegates
are expectantly awaiting the contest
over the woman question, which is to
come up the first thing tomorrow in the
conference. 1t is understood the major
ity and minority reports of the commit
tee on eligibility will be submitted at
10 O'Clock. The majority report, which
will be signed by twenty members of
the committee, will probably be sub
mitted by Rev. DR.. A G. Kyneu, of
Philadelphia. 1t will hold that the women
delegaIeS are ellg1Dle TO seats in the y;On-
ference. The minority report it is I'M
derstood, will be submitted by Dr. ]. NJ
Buckley, editor of the New York Chris
tan Advocate, and will consist of argu-
ments based on biblical and constitu-
tional grounds against the granting of
the privilege of the delegate to women
The concensus of opinion among the dele
gates is that the majority report will be
adopted. If it is, the conference viii say,
it is asserted, that the constitution ought
to be changed and a precedent will be
established which will result in giving
seats TO women in all future conferences
While it is admitted that the women will
win victory, considerable apprehension
is felt regarding the probable action of
the German delegates in the event of
such action. 1t is well known that the
Germans are almost solidly opposed to
giving women seats and voice in the
conference proceedings. their opposition
being based on the declaration at ST
Paul against women participating in the
affairs of the church, and some doubt is
expressed as to whether they will SUBJ
nit to the action of the conference
without protest. 1t can be stated on ex-
cellent authority that the report of the
committee on prohibition will declare in
favor of combining to fight the liquor
traffic in any way upon which all friends
of temperance agreed, regardless of
creed or politics. The reports will also
endorse the work of the American Anti
Saloon League.

VERY SERIOUS TURN.
Now Being Taken by the Govern
menf of Brazil.


RIO DE JANEIRO, April 9-(Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press.)-The
monarchial movement in Brazil is be-
ginning to take very serious turn. Pro-
fitting by the general disorder which OBJ
tains among the Republicans by reason Of
foreign and domestic troubles, the mon
archists are picking up courage and de-
clare openly their intention to restore
the monarchy. AS long ago as November

OF the situation is that numerous officers
of high rank in the army and navy who
have hitherto maintained their neutral
ity have declared openly for the monar-
chy. General Thomas Pompen, professor
in the military school of Fort Alez,
few days ago at a public meeting invited
his pupils and colleagues to join the
monarchists The Republican journal of
PaiZ recently demanded that all soldiers
and sailors above certain rank declare
their faithfulness to the republic. Very
few army officers have responded and
many are suspected of sympathy with
the conSpiratorS.
The dispute over the Amapa territory
is not as well solved as it is sought to
make it seem. Popular demonstrations
have taken place at Para and at Rio
against the project of a mixed commits

disturbance over the Amapa question in

sympathizers with his cause. There is
also Bolivian question, concerning the
Bolivian frontier which had been almost
forgotten when a rather imperious note
was received from the Bolivian govern
ment asking the Brazilian government
to name its commissioners TO act with
those of Bolivia in ascertaining the true
boundary. President Moraes has named

Excitement was intense throughout

This morning early a message was
received that Bendy had left the
thicket and had sought refuge in the
home of his brother-in-law, and there
the determined party found him. He
was not quick enough in yielding, when
shot rang out that brought him to his
senses. This was at o'clock this
morning. The shot wounded him and
he began running. When about fifty
yards away he gave in and was led to

the still air rang out the shots of thirty
cool and determined men who had
taken the law in their hands. His body
was riddled with bullets and was left
hanging. Constable Bible, E. B. Rome
