CAN'T GET ENGINES.

Short Line Tries to Place Orders in
the East.
The Oregon Short Line will be able to
add no locomotives to its system this
year that are not turned out of its own
shops. The company placed orders with
the eastern manufacturers, but there are
too many orders ahead of them, and they
will be unable to have the order for mo-
tive power filled until next year.
All the eastern locomotive works are
rushed in the same way. Some of the
roads throughout the country in antici-
had their orders in a year ahead, and
will not get their engines until toward
the last of the year The Short Line
has placed an order for over J, 100 cars,
and these will not begin to arrive until
toward the last of the year.

CANADA IS TIRED
 OF BEING SACRIFICED.

Victoria, B. C., October 17.-Pending the receipt of full details regarding the de- cision of the Alaskan boundary commis- sioners in London, British Columbia has suspended judgment and beyond express sions of keen disappointment at the decis- ion which comedies everything to the United States with the exception of Port land canal, officials will say little on the matter.
 The people of British Columbia expect ed to receive much more at the hands of the commissioners, but as one of tho off cials of the British Columbia government said this morning:
 If the people of the province find that the case has been decided on it's merits and on it's merits alone, they will accept the decision frankly. but if as has been the case in other arbitrations where this province has been affected. and notably the Pelagic sealing arbitration, the de- cision Las been reached as diplomatic arrangement between Great Britain and the United States, it would cause ex- treme irritation in Canada, whose peo- pie are becoming tired of being garland ed with flowers and sacrificed to make diplomatic arrangements between Great Britain and the United States. British Columbia expected much more and can not see on what grounds the decision was given against them."

M|STR|AL IN
 POSTAL CASES Jury Couldn't Agree on Ques-
 lions of Fact FAVORABLE ID DEFENDANTS
 
Government Has showhtsts Hand and There Will Be No More Surprises for Miller and Johns at
 the Next Trial.

Cincinnati October 1.-The jury in the case of Daniel voorhees Miller and John M. Johns, on trial in the federal court here all week on charge of an alleged conspiracy to extort a bribe, reported shortly before midnight that it was una ble to agree and was discharged by Judge Thompson
 The trial attracted unusual attention and it was the first one under many re- cent indictments for alleged frauds in the postoffce department. Four days were devoted to the taking of evidence and the fifth day to the very vigorous arguments of District Attorney sherman McPherson and Assistant Thomas H. Darby for the government, and Hiram D. Rudison and Charles w. Baker for the defense. General Robb and many clerks from the department at Washing ton. Chief Cochran and many other post office inspectors and others from Wash ington were here assisting in the prosecu- tion and the charge to the jury was an unusally strong one.
 The disagreement of the jury was gen. orally regarded as somewhat favorable to the defendants, as the government had shown it's hand fully in this trial, so that counsel for the defense could not be sur nrised as much in the next trial as was the case this week. especially in the tes- timonv of watson, the secretary of Gen. eral Bristow and production of copies of letters and telegrams. The jury was considering the case for six hours and half. ii m when Judge Thompson sent for it and the fury asked for further instruc- lions. Judge Thompson then told the 5urors that he would instruct them about ony matter of law but that they must settle matters of facts among them sclves He directed the jury to retire apain and submit it's request for fur- ther instructions in writing.
 Al 11.5 D. m. the jury came in again and in writing reported as follows:
 eve find that we are unable to agree upon a matter of fact
 Indee Thompson then questioned the iurv as to the probability of reaching an agreement and on being advised that there was no such probability without ad- ditional instructions, he discharged the i,rv from further consideration of the case.
 The defendants renewed their bonds for new trial and District Attorney Me pherson was unable to- state whether there would be another hearing of the case set for the present term of court. while neither side indicated any gratifi- ca tion over the result, 1t was evident that many employees of the government who were present were disappointed.

Washington, October 1.-The prospect of war in the far east shows it's effect in the naval estimates submitted by Secre- tary Moody today. The total Is over S102, O0O, GOO, the largest ever submitted, but a steady increase in the cost of the naval establishment was to be expected.
 The fact that shows the effect of the disturbed condition in the far east is contained in the estimated of $S,164S7s for public works under the bureau of yards and docks. In the last bill the appropria- tion for that purpose was only s4336 40.
 The increase Is to be used, if wanted, in strengthening the navy yards in the Philippines. The navy yard at Olangapo. a work which is to cost about sSO,OOOoOo. is to receive a large share of this i;.- crease.
 The prospect of war in the east has caused the general board of the navy to determine that in case war does result that our ships shall redezvous in the har- bors of An-rung and Mukden, the two harbors China has agreed to open to the trade of the world. It is the pur-

Mexico, october 1.-The International Bank and Trust Company of America, w. H. Hunt. president, with branches in New York, San Francisco and points through out Mexico. closed its doors this morn ing in voluntary liquidation and posted a notice to that effect on the doors of the bank in this city.

 It is alleged that Jay had forced his wife to leave home. Mrs. Jay returned this morning and was preparing breakfast when her husband attacked her again and ran her out of the house.

On Other Hand Officers of Company
 Say Business Is Not lntrrupted.

St. Louis. October 17.-Members of the Brotherhood of Railway Expressmen de- clarcd themselves satisfied with the pro- gress of the strike of employees of the Pacific Expres company in St. Louis and which has been augmented by employees in Missouri, Arkansas. Louisiana, Indian Territory and Texas.
 officers of the Pacific Express company state their business is not suffering to any great extent from the strike. General Superintendent Mentsch said that the coxnpany was somewhat behind in getting expsess matter out of St. Louis, but he is confident the delay will be overcome by the first of next week. One difficulty the express company has to face at present is that the. local "comblnation," that is. one who knows the combinations of incoming safes, Is among the strikers. The safes must reman>l locked until an expert com bination manNis found.

Ottawa. October 1.-The Canadian gov ernment has not yet received official noti- fication of the decision in the Alaskan boundary case.
