Molineux, who was indicted yesterday
for the second time for the murder Of
Mrs. Kate j. Adams, was taken to the
court of general sessions to-day to be
arraigned for pleading before Judge
Blanchard. Before the pleading could
be made, Mr.. Keeks, of counsel for the
defendant, asked for permission to in
spect the minutes of the grand jury.
District Attorney Gardiner objected
to the granting of the application. He
said that the defendant was not entitled
TO an inspection of the minutes as he
could have had hearing before mag
istrate and refused it.
Mr.. Weeks replied that his client did
not accept an examination before the
magistrate because Justice Fursman
stated that the case would have to go
to the grand jury no matter what dis
position was made of it by the magis-
trate. He continued: I'VE ask for an
inspection of the minutes because in
formation has come to us that the ev
idence presented to the grand jury en-
bodies that which Justice Williams de-
clared in his decision dismissing the
Indictment to have been Illegal

thought that a formal notice of the
application should be made.
Judge Blanchard assented and Mr..
Weeks was given until next Tuesday to
prepare his motion.

GENERAL GREENE.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-There was
nothing to indicate at the opening of
the cabinet meeting to-day that any
change was impending in the Presi-
dents official family. Secretary Alger
was present and brought with him a
considerable amount of business from
the war department which was thor
oughly discussed. 1t related to matters
of administration in Cuba and to some
arrangements being made for the or
ganization of troops intended for the
Philippines. The question of Gen. AL
gers successor was not mentioned to-
day until after be had left the confer
ence chamber. Then for half an hour
those who remained behind with the
President discussed informally the
names of those who had been under
consideration for the vacancy. Ahese
included Elihu Root the distinguished
New York lawyer; Ambassador Porter,
Gov. Roosevelt, Gen. James H. Will
son, Gen. Leonard Wood, Gen. Harri-
son Gray Otis, and Gen. Francis v.
Greene.
After canvassing the names with sin
gular unanimity all the members of the
cabinet agreed with the President that
the man pre-eminently fitted for this
responsible post was Mr.. Root, and
there is no doubt the President has
made up his mind to tender the war
portfolio to him, but that no formal
tender had been made up to the time
the cabinet adjourned at LILO p. m,
can be positively asserted. The MEM
bers of the cabinet themselves were
unusually reticent after the meeting
fo,,c4seir,g all ntejll:S relating. to the uties-
tion of Gen. Ayers successor. 1t is I'M
derstood that Senator Plat and Gov.
Roosevelt endorsed Gen. Greene, but it
is stated from high sources that there
is little chance of his being offered the
vacany even if something should in
tervene to prevent Mr.. Roots accept
ance, and it is believed to be equally
positive that neither Ambassador Por-
ter nor Gov. Roosevelt would care to
assume the responsibilities of the war
Office.
Secretary Alger has abandoned the
intention he entertained of quitting as
soon as Mr.. Meiklejohn arrived and
has concluded to discharge all of the
duties as secretary of war until the
date set for his resignation, August l..
Acting upon this determination he
went over to the cabinet meeting at II
O'Clock to-day, taking with him num-
Der of routine matters.

CHARGES OF FRICTION WITH

WASHINGTON. July 21.-The War
Department has issued a statement
| quoting certain dispatches from Gen
Otis in answer TO the press correspon-
| dents round robin The General
says in substance that the correspon-
dents wish to send statements that i'm
peril operations that they had no speei-
fication TO support their charges against
him and that these charges were I'M
true. He denies that he minimizes the
ork Of the navy and quotes from
naval dispatches to justify his state
| ment.
The text of the statement is as fol-
lows:
General Otis in dispatch under
date of July 20 says that the press cor
respondents demanded permission co
cable that official reports sent mfsrep-
| resented conditions. This was denied.
They then demanded the privilege to
send without reservation facts found
by them and their opinions. This was
granted If public interests were not Inn
periled. The answer was not satisfac-
tory and they therefore sent by mail
to Hong Kong. Gen. Otis says he Ia
not conscious of sending misrepresen-
tations but thinks that his dispatches
at times have been too conservative.
The press affair appeared 10 be a threat.
When the correspondents were asked to
be informed wherein Gen. Otis dis
patches We're misleading they offered
nothing tangible except that his con-
illusions were unwarranted. When TOLD
that they were disregarding military
authority it was apparent that they
eourted martyrdom which it was unwise
to give them.
In later dispatch Gen. Otis says that
the charges made by the press cores
pondents was untrue. He adds that
the most harmonious relations exist be-
tween the army and the navy. He
gives the following extract from let
| ter just received from a leading Filipino
at Tarlac, which is the center OF the
main insurgent army:
For some days have been trying 10

Captain Barker of the navy, who
succeeded Admiral Dewey in command
of the feet in sending the report Of the
commander OF the Yorktown to the
Navy Department, makes this endorse
| ment:

cooperation Of army and navy
"As bearing upon the statement that
the operations of the navy had been
minimized, 1t may be stated that Cen.
Otis has repeatedly recognized the
work OF the navy. as, for example. In
his dispatch Of June 1st. in which he
says: The navy aided greatly on shore

and again under date Of July .: The
army and navy are in hearty accord

sketched a programme which was APP
proved by President Mckinley, Secre-
tary Long and the committee of 100.

committee escort from New York to
Washington. Probably on the after
noon of his arrival the Admiral will be
conducted to the east front of the cap
itol where Secretary Long will present
the sword of honor which was voted by
Congress. A capacious platform, suit
ably decorated will be erected for the
accommodation of the President. his
cabinet, the members of the diplomatic
corps and other distinguished person
ages. In the evening there will be mil
itary. naval and civic parades in which
every organized body in the District Of
Columbia is expected to participate.
This feature Is to be of the torchlight
variety and is to be accompanied by a
general illumination, the most elaborate
effects being along the line OF march.
The parade will be reviewed by the
President, Admiral Dewey and many
Of the more prominent national officials
and international representatives. Fol-
lowing the parade will be band concerts
in various sections OF the city.

Good Words for the Sheep.

A correspondent OF the Oregonian
anent the sheep problem says, in part :
"The sheep hurt neither the water
supply nor the young growth OF conifers
and resinous trees, and as these essences
of trees are predominant in our forest re-
serves, the damage sheep may cause is
inconsequential in comparison to the gain
to the state by the sheepraising, both
slimentary and industrially.
IL would rather suggest tina, the forest
administration commits greater mistakes
to the detriment of forest preservation
by allowing lumber dealers to help them
selves by telling trees on large tracts of
forest, often for trifling remuneration.
The lumber dealer causes more damage
than the sheep. Let the sheepgrower
pasture his flocks on the forest reserva-
ton, for it will be in his own interest to
prove, by his carefulness, that the pas
turage of sheep results in no harm to the
forest reserves-especially as by their ar.
guments in thu Oregonian they prove to
be progressive aud enlightened people.
