In an interview Governor Geer ex-
pressed himself as highly gratified at
the invitation extended the Oregon boys

of San Francisco before their depart
ure for Oregon. The governor said he
is doing all in his power to have the
war department change its decision
denying the boys the privilege of land
ing in this city. Governor Geer expects
to have the department grant the boys
the opportunity of stretching their legs
in this city before being sent north. If
this request is refused, the volunteers
will remain on board their transport
during her stay in the harbor, and will
not be allowed TO participate in any of
the entertainments arranged for their
qualification.
The Newport is expected to come into
sight hourly, and the inhabitants of
this city will be warned Of the ap-
proach of the transport by the blowing
of steam whistles along the water front
a large fleet of steamers and pleasure
boats will go outside the Golden Gate
to escort the transport to her anchor

Concord, N. H, July 11.-Representa-
tives of the United States civil service

purpose of investigating charges pre-
ferred against Senator Jacob II. CAL
linger Of Concord by former Republican
Governor Charles A Busiel, alleging
violations of the civil service law dur
ing the last campaign in this state.
The specific charges are that Senator
Gallinger, as chairman of the Repub-
lican state committee, distributed cir
culars appealing TO Republican office
holders for contributions to the cam
paign funds.
Civil Service Commissioners J. B.
Harlow and Marks Brewer, who ar
rived here from Washington last night.
We're in charge of the investigation
Senator William T. Chandler was
among those present, as a party inter-
ested though whether as a prosecutor
or defendant is somewhat uncertain,
inv lew of the charges sd counter
charges made.
The only witnesses at hand when the
session opened We're Postmaster nox
of Manchester, National Bank Exam
liner Carroll of Wardner, and T F. Cliff
ford, who was assistant secretary of
the Republican state committee during
the campaign This investigation is
held to allow the commissioners to eX-
anime the evidence and TO decide if it
warrants the further prosecution of the
case. If they decide that it does, the
United States authorities of the depart

GOVERNMENT NOT LIABLE.
Case Growing Out of Seizure of 6
French Steamer During War.

Washington, July 1.-THE secretary OF
state has sent Ambassador Cambon OF
France an answer to the latter's recent
letter submitting the claim of Miss Ivan
FaVre. for $4,000 damages attributed to
the capture of the French steamer Olinde
Rodriguez. on which she was a passenger
by the cruiser New Orleans during the
blockade of San Juan. The secretary re-
views the facts in much detail and states
the conclusion that the government is not
liable on this claim. The answer is likely
to establish d precedent on a large num-
Der of similar claims.
The secretary says the French steamer
was first observed by the cruiser Yose-
mite on July 5th, and that AN officer of
the Yosemite went on board ard noted in
the log of the French vessel that a block
ade of San Juan was in progress. Miss
Favre subsequently took passage at
Port Au Prince on July Is.
On July II. the Rodriguez again put in
an appearance off San Juan whereupon
she was captured by the New Orleans.
The prize was taken to Charleston on
July %. and on Aug. 5. all the passengers
were released by court order and turned
over to the French company. Miss
Favre's claim recited that she had suf-
fered from an attack of fever while at
Charleston and the damages were for this
and the indignitieS of detention.
From the facts cited the secretary
states that the United States naval au-
thorities could not be charged with any
negligence in the circumstances attending
the capture.

gress affecting the army canteen.
The delegation recorded its dissent
from the opinion of the attorney gen.
eral, and presented legal opinion on
the subject prepared by Colonel Eli
Ritter of Indianapolis.
The members of the delegation, after
their call. reported the president as
saying that the opinion of the attorney
general was given without any previous
knowledge on his part; that he did not
know that an opinion had been asked
for by the secretary of war; neither did
he know that such an opinion had been
given until several days afterward, and
that he would look into the matter per-
sonally, and if the opinion of the at
torney general was found to be correct,
it should stand, but he added that all
men were fallible, and that If the at
torney general had made a mistake, he
had no doubt he (Griggs) would be
ready TO rectify it-that he was an able
lawyer and a man honest and courage

bets were made on the head of the
ticket. one for $500 a side, but yesterday
Richards money went begging all day.
The Republicans elected a mayor and
five of the nine councilmen, one OF the
Republican councilmen elected. George
Glover, having run on the Democratic

short of that of the last general cleo
ton
The double set of judges and clerks.

a great success. The count was easily
kept up with the vote and when the

ceived only thirty-five majority. while

CLAIMS A CONSPIRACY.
Prosecution to Show That Rioting
Was Advised By Union.

Chicago, July ia special to the
Record from Wallace, Ida, says: In
the Paul Corcoran murder trial, the
Spies case in Chicago was referred to
for a precedent. The state, it is said.
proposes to prove a conspiracy to COM
nit crimes Of the character of that
perpetrated at Wardner on April 29,
and the law laid down in the Chicago
anarchist case will be very largely re-
lied upon.
Acting County Attorney Forney. in
his opening statement. told the jury the
state would prove that the Western
Federation of Labor advised such a
general programme as that carried out
on April 90. The defense objected. Mr..
Forney said his proof was in documents
found in the miners union safe, and
captured at Burke.
In the Spies case. he said, Herr
Most's book was admitted, because it
was found among the captured ar
chives. The point raised was tempo
rarily waived.
