Washington, Jan. 1.-The state de.
partment received dispatches today from
Mexico City making clear for the rirst
time what is to be expected on the sub,
ject OF arbitration, which has been thl
most important and the most difficult
problem before the congress of American
republics. The adyices came from Mr..
Buchanan, the American delegate who
was assigned to look after this particular
question.
He states that an agreement on the
lines of The Hague conference appears to
be favored by the majority of the repub
lies and that this will probably be the
basis of action to be taken by the con-
gress. He also states that those repub-
lies which desire to go further than The
Hague agreement very likely will sign
an Independent convention for cOmpul-
sorry arbitration. The congress is rap
idly drawing to a close and another fort
night will probably bring final adjourn
ment so that the determination of the
arbitration question appears to be very
near at hand.

Hudson, n Y, Dec. 30.--One of the
most sensational murder cases ever
known in New York state has culmin-
ated in confession by Harvey Bruce
aged p, in the form of statement to

der of Peter A. Hallenbeck, a wealthy
farmer of Greenport, was commit led on
Christmas evening by Harvey Bruce and
Willis, Burton and Fred Won Wormer,
brothers, aged 20, % and 20, nephews of

was witnessed by Hallenbeck's wife and
old mother, the other members of the

New York, Dec. 3O.-At the eighth an

the Hotel Marlborough, Amos Bonsal of
Philadelphia, the only survivor of the
Kane expedition in lS53,55, in speaking
of the bravery of men who have visited
the Arctic and Antarctic regions, said:
"There was a charge against one of our
number admiral Schley) of being a cow
ard, the meanest charge that could ever
be brought against any man. No man
who has the courage to enter the Arctic
pack, as he did, and rescue General
Greeley, can ever be charged with such
an otfense, and | deny it and oppose -
The speakers reference to Admiral
(then captain) Schley's command of the
Greeley relief expedition in 1888 was APP
plauded for some minutes. The expedi-
ton brought Lieutenant Greeley and six

Nearing Capital Recently Held IN.
Allied Forces.

Pekin, Dec. 31.-A party of Mancbr
princes, including Prince Su. collect
or OF taxes on goods entering Pekin
started Saturday to meet the Chinese
court. Prince Su intends to press biO
claim to be sent as an envoy to Great
Britain upon the occasion of the cor.
onation of King Edward.
The dOwager empress is making vic.
orous efforts to assert herself before
the Chinese populance, with view
to renewing the prestige lost during
the last few years.
The program for the courts return
to Pekin provides that the emperor
shall precede the dowager empress to
the city in order that he may be en-.
abled to meet the dowager empress
with great honors at the station when
she arrives.
The ministers of the foreign powers
at Pekin have agreed that when the
Chinese court returns here. if they
are merely invited to dine with the
tsung Ii yamen, as heretofore, instead
of with the Chinese emperor in the
palace, as was recently stipulated,
they will all refuse the invitation.
Two thousand additional Chinese
troops entered Pekin last Friday.
The Austrians have mounted two
large guns upon the fertilization sur.
rounding their legation. The other
legations kept their guns concealed
Already the British are well supplied
with artillery, but the Americans, who
hold the crucial position at the Cham
Men gate, are not supplied with artil
lery. With the approval of American
Minister Conger, Major Robertson OF
the Ninth infantry, commanding the
legation guards, applied to the war de.
partment for two guns. This was re.
fused because when the department
consulted with Mr.. ROckhilI, special
commissioner to the United States
here, on the matter, the latter replied
that artillery was not needed and its
presence would be harmful
At New Chwang the Russians have

Berlin, Dec. 30.-American diplomacy

away at Olympia at o'clock on the
evening of Thursday, December 26.

prise. Wednesday night it was believ-
ed that the danger was nearly passed,
as he spent the best night since the
beginning of his illness six days ago.
About o'clock Thursday morning he
passed into a conatose state and began
to sink rapidly. GSFeAt alarm was at
once felt and uri sent to the family
and close frieHN3. His wife and two
daughters were at his bedside at the
last.
The first symptoms of Governor
Rogers illness developed Friday. Fri
day afternoon at his office he con-
tracted a chill a fever resulted and
by 10 O'Clock Saturday morning the
governor began to complain of pains
in his chest. The fever increased
slightly and the pains became quite
severe. Sunday the first reports of his
condition were given out 1t was an
nounced that he was suffering from
lobar pneumonia, the middle lobe of
the right lung being affected. He was
attended by DR.. Ingham of Olympia.
While he was acknowledged to be
seriously i'll, his condition was not
dangerous.

while in the legislature that he at
tracted much attention by drafting and
fighting through both houses the fam
Gus barefoot" school law. Although
the populists were in a minority they

and silver republicans and was elected

that the best hope of the populists
lay in the democratic party, with whom
he then became identified. AS a dem
ocrat he was nominated by the fusion
convention last year and made the
famous fight for governorship which
ended by his election by q plurality
of 2200 votes in the face of a plural
ity for the republican national ticket
of 1900.

as do five children. One of his sons
is merchant at Pupallup, another is
in Europe and another is a professor
in Leland Stanford Jr., university at
Palo Alto, Cal. One of his daughters
is the wife of State Labor Commits
sioner William Blackman and the
other, Miss Helen Rogers, is school
teacher in Tacoma.
Governor Rogers was the author OF
several books, among them being
"The Irrepressible Conflict Looking
Forward" THE Inalienable Rights of
Man" and Life"

chased a small ranch near Puyallup
and much of his spare time has been
devoted to beautifying this place and
making it home. where he could re-
tire at the end of his term.

The Engle Oil company COM
pleted deal Saturday by which Its
property in this county Is trans
TERED to E. A. Durham, president
of the Tyler County Bank. The
land concerned In the deal COM
prises about seven hundred acres,
situated one mile northeast of Mid
dlebourne, having a daily produc-
ton of nearly one hundred barrels;
consideration, S57 600.
The Engle Oh company has a
large local membership and the
members held one thirty.second in
terest In the property sold, for
which they eacn received the snug
sum of $1,000 for each thirty
second. The largest shareholders
were A. A. McKelvey. who owned
something over one half interest,
and Councilman S. w. Templeton,
who had asthree. sixteenths to his
credit. When the Engle pool was
opened by the completion of No. l.,
which started off better than three
hundred barrels day. the hopes of
the operators for a field of consid-
cradle magnitude were builded
high, but subsequent operations
failed In bringing about the realiza-
ton that was expected. No. was
a hopeless buster aud No. 3 was
much inferior to No. I In producing
capacity. No. 4, the latest venture,
Is drilling at about four hundred
feet. In all probability there is a
continuation of the pool In some
direction, but before the lead Is To-
Gated there Is the likelihood that
much money will be spent In prof.
itless drilling. The initial we'll is
holding up remarkably we'll
and is now putting over seventy
five barrels into the tank each day.
