The Eastern Oregon organ, Of the
state treasury, says:"Governor Lord is
reported to have declared that when
advised that any county treasurer is
using the tax money that should go to
the state for any purpose other than
the payment Of the state tax, he will
see that the law is enforced and
the treasurers compelled to do their
duty under It," We do not believe
that Governor Lord ever said that.
A man last winter promised the

the beans. We still hope he may
bring them. We want those beans.

SPAIN'S FRIENDLY NEIGHB0RS,
AMERICAN INTERFERENCE IN Gu
BA WOULD BE RESISTED.

A Spanish Citizen Now in st. LOuis
Who Claims to Have COmmunica-
tion With Those High in Political
Authority in Spain Says That His
Home Government Has Lately
Been Assured That European Pow
ers Would object TO America rnl1-
ing an Active interest In Cuba.
st. Louis, Mo, Sept. 9-Comte Henri de
Penalooza, who is visiting friends in st.
Louis for few days, said that the rumors
of an understanding between Spain and
other European nations looking to a
check upon American interference with
Cuba, was confirmed by information which
came to him from high authority.
De Penalooza has been introduced in st.
Louis is a member of an old Spanish fam
lily whose sympathes are with the Carlist
party, but whose connections with high
politics in Spain keep them posted on
most of the developments in diplomatic
circles.
He said Some time last September.
when the Cuban question was 50 much ag
itated in the United States even to the
point of furnishing blanks 70 the declara-
tions of presidential Conventions, Senior
Canovas del Castillo, then premier of
Spain, received assurances from the Eng
lish and French governments through
their representatives in Madrid that they
would not permit any action on the part
of the United States other than a very
perfunctory recognition of the belligerency
of the insurgents.
"On Aug. 3, before leaving Paris, I learn
ed from trustworthy sources that this as
surance had been renewed. Gen. Azcarra-
ga, the new premier, has received the
French and English ambassadors, who
have once more assured Spain of the sym
pathy of their governments and of their
willingness to give her their diplomatic
help"

A DAY OF EXPERT TESTIMONY.
The state Tries to Identify BITS of
Bone as the Body of MRS. LuctGert.

The State Tries to Identify Bits of
Bone as the Body of MRS. LuetGert.
Chicago, Sept. 9-Both the morning and
afternoon sessions Of the court in the trial
Of Adolph Luetgart to-day were consumed
in the taking of expert testimony.
Through chemical analysis the state
must establish not only the possibility Of
human body being dissolved by the ac-
tion of caustic potash heated to the boil
Ing point, but also the fact that the bits
of bone, hair and flesh and the scrapings
of pinkish brown material from the in
terror of the vat in the sausage factory
are portions of the body of a human be-
ing. If they can demonstrate these two
propositions beyond a reasonable doubt
one of the most important portions of their
case will have been accomplished. BY
circumstantial evidence they have endeav-
ored to prove that Luetgart was anxious
to rid himself of his wife, and that he
enticed his wife into his factory on the
evening of May !. By expert testimony
they expect TO prove that Mrs. Luetgart's
remains are now represented by the bits
of bone. flesh and hair.
Two expert witnesses have been called.
DR. Chas. b. Gibson and Prof. Mark Della
Fontaine. DR.. Gibson, whose direct exami-
nation was begun Wednesday, offered fur
ther testimony for the state and was turn
ed over to the defense FOR cross examina-
ton Prof Della Fontaine was examined
by assistant states attorney, McEWen, the
direct examination occupying the remain
ing time of the morning session and the
entire afternoon session.
The prosecution could not draw from
Prof Della Fontaine the assertion that the
bits of flesh were human flesh. They might
be human but they might also ne the flesh
of an animal. The bones he was sure were
human bones, but regarding the flesh he
was very guarded and careful in his state
ments He viii tomorrow morning be
turned over to the defense for cross exam
ination.
At no time during the day did tbe defend
ant display emotion, not even when the
big dry goods box with its grewsome con-
tents of flesh and bone, was placed few
feet from him near the jury. He hand
led the gunny sacks and inspected with
curious glance the bits of flesh and bone
which were passed gingerly from attorney
TO attorney, but at no time did his hand
tremble or the look of ordinary interest
give way TO pallor or an averted glance.
Innocent or guilty the verdict of all is
that Iuetgert Is possessed of more nerve
than any other man who has ever been
tried for murder within the precincts of
the criminal court building.
The attorneys for the defense continue
in their confidential attitude and assert
that when their prisoner Is acquitted, a
number of damage suits are to be COM
nenced. They intend that those who
have manufactured evidence" as they
put it, shall suffer for the wrong which
they say has been done their client.

THE WRECK AT EMPoRIA.

that practically all the mail on both of the
wrecked Santa Fe trains was destroyed.
One pouch, however, for Southern Cali
fornia on the west bound train No /. is
said to have been saved This train, when
it arrived, carried a large mail from New
York to California, Colorado New Mexi-
co and Arizona. No official report has been
received here.

a SETTLEMENT is EXPECTED.
Miners VIII Agree ON the Terms
offered To-day.

Columbus, O.. Sept. 9.-rrhe miners con-
vention remained in executive session un-
til late this afternoon and adjourned un-
Ill tomorrow morning without having
taken a vote on the proposed settlement.
President Ratchford said TO an Associa-
ted Press representative: you may pre-
dict, with every degree of certainty, that
a settlement will be reached and that the
action Of the national board in recon-
mending settlement WITT be endorsed.
The delegates are beginning to see that
che best thing they can do is to accept
the proposition Of the operators and re-
turn to work at the price Offered.
The arguments that have been presented
by the officials and members of the exec
utive board in favor of a settlement have
had great weight with the delegates who
have come to the convention uninstructed,
and even some of those who came with In
struction have gone so far as to communi-
cate with their constituents. asking to be
relieved of Instructions that they may be
free to vote as they deem best Should
this drift Of sentiment continue until a
vote is taken. the proposition for a settle
ment will undoubtedly be accepted
The question as TO whether a settlement
on the lines proposed can be made general,
appears to be the stumbling block at this
time. The committee on resolutions Is
about equally divided on the question of
settlement, and will probably present two
reports to the convention to-
morrow. There were some fiery
speeches in the executive session
by delegates from Ohio, Illinois and West
Virginia Secretary Lewis of the Ohio min
ers, said that no matter what action the
convention took it would not settle the
strike.
A proposition to admit additional dele
gates from Pennsylvania caused stormy
discussion The Illinois delegates objected
on the ground that If one state was allow
ed this privilege 1t should be accorded to
ALL The matter was of material impor-
tance as to admit new delegates might
change the vote and the opposition was so
strong that the motion to admit the addi-
tional Pennsylvania delegates was voted
down.
An effort will be made by the officers to
bring the convention to a close tomorrow,
provided the prospects of a favorable vote
on the proposition for a settlement are
ripe.
