rocity Treaty Between United States and

Washington, Aug 14.-Advites re-

Ever since it became evident that moth
ing would be accomplished as to reci-
procity with Cuba at the recent session

that the president would call an extra
session either of the entire congress to
enact Cuban reciprocity legislation, OF
OF the senate to ratify, if possible a
reciprocity treaty with Cuba.
A treaty with Cuba practically has
been prepared. 1t only requires the
finishing touches and the signatures OF
Minister Quesada and Secretary oi
State Hay to make it ready for presen-
tation to the senate. The president, it
is said, hopes to have the reciprocity
question cleared away entirely before

COULD SEIZE MINES.
Martin Dolphin Suggests Means OF Ending
the Big Coal Strike.


New York, Aug. Is. - President
Roosevelt has in his hands, according
to the World, a plan submitted by
Martin Dolphin, ex- president of the
International Order of Railway and
Commercial Telegraphers, by which
Mr.. Dolphin thinks the strike In the
anthracite coal fields could be ended.
President Roosevelt referred the prop
osition to the attorney generals de-
partment, and it is now being consld-
cred by II. M. Hoyt, acting attorney
general.
This plan is to have the government
exercise the right of eminent domain
and seize certain number of mines
and operate them for the purpose OF
taking out all the hard coal required
by the government for its various build
ings, on the ships of the navy depart
ment and fol- all other governmental
purposes. The right of the govern
ment to intervene in strike which
interferes in any way with govern
mental functions was proved, Mr.
Dolphin contends, by President Cleve-
lands action in the Chicago strike OF
1898, when he ordered out united
States troops to keep the strikers
from interfering with the transporta-
ton of the United States mails.
In the present case the Intervention
he advocates, Mr.. Dolphin says, would
also break the backbone of the strike
by forcing the operators to resume
work in all the mines.

side of David Merrill, the confederate
whom the outlaw had cowardly MUIR

the corpse, but at the depot many

coffin. The burial was unattended by
ceremony. Before the coffin was low
cred chemicals were placed in it for the
purpose of destroying the corpse, but
the grave will be watched in order to
prevent any person from stealing the
body. As the body was positively
identified by the prison officials, there
is no question of the payment OF the
reward, but just who is entitled to i,

tate to solve. His famous rifle was
given to the officials.
Merrill's rife was found in the brush
within 200 yards of the spot where hi

coRDwooD SHORTAGE.
Men Get Work in More Desirable Lines, and

Independence, Or, Aug. IL A condi-
tion that demonstrates the improved
commercial conditions in the valley is
the scarcity of cordwood. While the
shortage does not assume the character
of wood famine, yet the price is con-
siderably advanced over that of last
year, and the wood marketed is not as
good. Wood dealers say the cause of
all this is the inability to- obtain men
to cut wood, and they think next year
will see still greater advance. Men
can obtain work at more. desira BILE and
profitable figures and SO the demand
for wood fuel is greater than the supply.

RESIGNS HIS PLACE
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE LAYS
ASIDE HIS ROBES.
Has Had Two Strokes Of Apoplsxy and Con.
sidered His Usefulness Ended President
Appoints Oliver Wendell Holmes, Cnief
Justice Of Massachusetts,, to Fill Vacancy
Justice Gray's Career.

Oyster Bay, Aug. I3.- President
Roosevelt has announced the appoint
ment of Oliver Wendell Holmes, chief
justice of the supreme court of Massa-
chusetts, to be an associate justice of
the United States, vice Justice Gray,
resigned.
The resignation of Justic Gray was
due to ill health. Several months ago
he suffered stroke of apoplexy, which
sometime later was followed by an
other. He has not appeared on the
bench since he was stricken the first
time. His advanced age, "a years,
told against his recovery with serious
force. Realizing that he probably would
never be able to again assume the
place which he so long filled with dis-
tinguished ability and honor, he de-
| cided a short time ago to tender his
resignation to the president. With the
exception of Justice Harlan he had
served upon the bench of the United
States Supreme Court longer than any
of his colleagues. He was appointed
by President Arthur in 1881, his service
extending, therefore, through period
of 21 years.
Judge Holmes, whom the president
has selected as Justice Gray:s successor,
is one of the most distinguished law
yers and jurists of Massachusetts. His
career on the bench, particularly as
chief justice of the Massachusetts
! court, has attracted wide attention.
Like Justice Gray, he is native of
Massachusetts. He is son and name
sake of the late DIR. Holmes, the poet.
Justice Gray was born in Boston in
1928; graduated from Harvard Univer.
sity, 1916; graduated from Harvard
Law School, 1S49; admitted to Massa-
chusetts bar, 1851; reporter Massachu-
sets supreme court, 1864-1873; chief
justice Massachusetts, supreme court,
1S73-1SS2; associate Justice of United
States supreme court, 1ss1-1902.
