sPALDING ASKED TOO MUCH.

Chicago, May 15.-President Charles
w. Spalding Of the failed Globe Savings
bank, who is under arrest on several in
dictments for embezzlement, filed a pc
tition in Judge Ba!rs court asking for a
change OF venue on the ground that 19
OF the circuit and superior court Judges.
who are ex-officio criminal court judges
were prejudiced against him. Judge
Ball was named as one Of them. This
leaves only four judges before whom
Spalding is willing TO be tried. The pc
tition was opposed by the states at
torney on the ground that the statutes
only permit the swearing 10 prejudice
OF two judges. Judge Ball overruled
Tpalding's petition, saying the petitioner
asked too much.

Those Riverside Cars.
a Editor of Inc News:

To the Editor Of The News
AS intimatod by "A recent writer IN your
Peoples column the Union Railroad Com
pany is a splendid institution, but Ike
all earthly things 10 has its faults, and
dousH if anyone will dispute the state
ment that its worst fault Is the slipshod,
aggravating manner in which the River
side line is run.
The cars on that line run theoretically
once I'm twenty minutes, but II is only
theoretically. On the other hand the
Taunton avenue cars run, for large por-
tion of each day at least, on ten minute
time Why should one part OF this town
get so much better service than the other,
which is Just as thickly settled and yields
more revenue 20 the railroad company.
Unless one starts at the terminus OF the
line il Is rarely possible 20 get seat on
Riverside car except IN the middle OF tho
forenoon or afternoon.
| have no statistics TO prove the case,
but would venture 10 bet that there are
more delays, breakdowns and miscellaneous
annoyancos on tho Riverside line than on
all the Others put together
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, Will you allow
mo TO make such one suggestion Co the
company to this effect, that on summer
evenings and Sundays they run special
cars on this line marked I'D and b. for
the drunkards ana brawlers and then If
there is room on the rails let them have
"a few cars for the ordinary daily patrons
of the road.

Why the Commission Failed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE official
report Of the correspondence in regard
the bimetallic proposals Of the
United States monetary commission
to the government of Great Britain
has reached this country. 1t fully
confirms the reports cabled to the As
sociated Press October 2l and %.
The negotiations fell through, not
withstanding the expressed willing
ness of the French government to
open its mints, owing to the rejection
by the British government of the
proposition to again pen the Indian
mints to the free coinage of silver.
More of the other propositions were
re piled to, because one Of the most inn
portant concessions requested Of
Great Britain could not be acceded to.
Great Britain, in making answer,
referred to the wishes of the govern
ment of India, to which the proposal
was referred, and the reply of the lat
ter government therefore is the most
communication in the cor
The most potent reason urged
against the proposition is that the
burden Of failure. if failure should
come from the experiment for re-
establishment of bimetalliSm by
France and the United States, must
inevitably fall on India. Both the
United States and France, the reply
urges, with their gold, could to a
greater or less extent protect them
selves # the experiment did not sue
,eed.
The document contains a reserva-
VatiOn which would seem to indicate
that if The scope of the proposed ex-
pertinent was sufficiently broadened,
India might be willing at least to re-
her refusal.

WASHINGTON, Nov. J7.--C. B. HOl
liway and A. Gum, of Ohio, to-day
fled claims in the general land Office
for tract OF land embracing seven
million acres in the Northwest, in
cluding the citiesof Minneapolis and
st. Paul.
The matter was brought before
Commissioner Hermann of the gen
eral land Offices today and the assis-
tance Of the government In securing
official data was called for.
The claimants are making examin-
alton OF the general land Office records
with view to securing copies Of GER
titled papers which they assert will
establish their title to the lands
claimed by them. Their ancestor,
through whom they claim title, was
Jonathan Carver. an Englishman, a
well-knOwn explorer or the last cen
tury. Carver lived among the In1lans
of the Northwest, mostly in what is
now Minnesota aud Wisconsin, and
was adopted by some Of the tribes,
including the Nawdanissia Indians,
who made him chief. For valuable
services he performed, so their 'she
claiu,. the Indians presented him
with this vast tract of land. Gum
claims he is great grandson OF Car
yer and Railways wife is his great
grand daughter. The report says
that the heirs had a l)ng interview
with the land commissioner today in
which their contentious we're ex-
rlIiued. The department will render
whatever assistance is possible in the
way of recurring information.

KELSAY PORTER
May Hang and May Not.
His Case Under Consideration by
the Governor.

Governor Lord IS besieged with let
ters, petitions and kilograms IN be-
half Of Ke:say Porter, condemned 10
death, and the executive of Ofego is
not enjoying life quite as we'll as
usual
The attorneys made Another effort
last night to save the life OF their
client. a complaint was filed TO the
effect that Porter was insane, aud an
examination was regularly held to as
certain the mental condition Of the
I condemned man.
The fact that Porter was many
years ago committed to the Oregon
insane asylum, coupled with his pc
culiar actions during the past few
weeks, has led many people here to
think that possibly he was not Of
sound mind, and the proceedings last
night were for the purpose of testing
the matter.
Porter was taken from his guarded
cell in the county jail to the county
judges Office, in the courthouse, and
carefully examined by Drs. Cromwell.
PLY, Of Union, and Bacon, OF La
Grande. three Of the most eminent
physicians in the county. The ques-
tIOns asked we're such as only man
Of sound reason could answer, and the
examination was tically con-
Quoted fJr a considerable length of
time. The examination was held IN
The presence Of officers, physicians and
attorneys. After consulting over the
matter, the physicians returned a YER
dict to the effect that Porter was not
Of unsOund mind.
The governor has been petitioned
80 commute Porter's sentence, but no
word has yet been received from him,
and Porter today for the first time
seemed to give up hope. He insists
that his actions were justifiable, and
that his execution will be legal
murder.
Porter is sentenced to be hanged be-
tween the hours or a. m. and 6 p. m.
Friday next.
Governor Lord will take some ac-
tion tome rrow, but what no one can
tell. He may commute the sentence
or grant a respite from execution.
