How important and influential an organ,

filed an agreement with hte state text
book commission, now engaged IN con-

IN BAD POSITION.
British Troops In SOmaliland Are
Now Surrounded.

Simla, India, June 22.-Major Gen.
eral Charles Comm Egerton, who has
been in command of the Punjab from
tier forces stree 1899, has been appoint
ed to the command of the Somaliland
expeditionary forces, which are operat-
ing against the Mad Mullah, superced-
ing Brigadier General II. Manning.
General Manning took command of
the British expedition in Somaliland
last November, after a reverse suffered
by Colonel Swayne, has not proved sue
cessful in his campaign. Columns of
detached forces have been badly mauled
by the Mullah's followers, the most Sc
rious being tie ambush of Colonel
Plunkett's flying detachment of POS
men, when the entire force was wiped
out. The latest advices received in
London, June IA, were to the effect
that General Manning was surrounded
and unable to assist Colonel Babbet,
whose column was in serious posi-
tion at Callady and on half rations
One of the causes of the nonsuccess of
the expedition has been the cowardice
of the native Somali regiment, of
which so much was hoped when it was
formed recently. Only few days ago
news came that the native camel corps
had mutinied. The operations against
the Mad Mullah, who first raised the
tribes against the British in 1899, have
already cost $4,000, 900.
A desire is manifested to abandon the
campaign, but in view of the predica-
ment of General Manning's forces it
has been found necessary to order Brit
ish troops from India, and when they
arrive the British expedition in Soma
liland will consist of 500 British, l 200
Indian troops and 4 900 natives.

GAMBLING LAW TEST.
Fraternity at Spokane Already TAX
ing Steps.

Spokane, June 19-The recent arrest
Of Fritz DIETRICH, accused of felony by
reason of having been engaged in rum
ming poker game in this city, has now
definitely developed into test case of
the new state law. The gamblers here
have banded together, raised consid-
cradle sum of money, and employed
Frank H. Graves, brother of State
Senator Will Graves, to carry on the
fight for them.
At the time of Deitrich's arrest it
was thought that he had opened his
game with the intention of getting into
trouble. Detective Alexander MacDon-
aid learned that game was in progress
at the Bohemia saloon. a resort con-
Quoted by "Doc" Brown, local gam
bier and salono man. Macdonald went
to the place and arrested DIETRICH, who
stated at the time that he was running
the game for profit. DIETRICH was Ia
ken to the station, and in default of
$3.50 cash bail was held for trial. Later
he appeared before the police court and
was bound over to the uperior.courtifor
trial. A special jury term is to be
held in the criminal department in Ju-
ly, an it is expected that his case will
come up at that time.
The plan adopted for a test OF The
new law may be authoritatively stated
to be as follows: DIETRICH will plead
guilty to conducting game for profit.
He will be sentenced and a writ of ha-
beas corpus will be Immediately sued
out in the supreme court of Washing
ton, in an original proceeding. The
attack there will be made on the con-

In 1879 the legislature of the state OF
Washington passed an act making gam

Portland, June 22.-Edward Dixon,
special agent of the interior depart

CHARGED WIT FORGERY.
Grand Jury May Return Second In.
dictment Against Machen.

Washington, June 19-It is believed
the grand jury will soon be asked by
the postoffice department authorities to
find another indictment against A. W.
Machen, former superintendent of the
free delivery system. The charge, it is
said, will be forgery, based on the CASH
ing OF check for 1869, drawn by the
cashier of the New York postoffice in
favor of Henry l.. Lorenz, of Toledo,
Ohio. Iii claimed the money was to
have been sent to Mr.. Lorenz in care of
Mr.. Machen.
The check was cashed in this city,
being endorsed by Frank X. Raymond,
who says he had the check cashed for
Machen. Mr.. Lorenz has declared that
the signature both of the check and of
the voucher accompanying it are forger-
les. He declares he has not received a
cent onf the money and has no knowl-
edge of the transaction.
The forgery with which Mr.. Machen
is charged is alleged to have occurred
in 1894, when Henry L. Lorenz, as
commissioner of the court of claims,
was engaged in adjusting the claims of
letter carriers. The check on which
Machen is accused of indorsing Loreuz'
name was issued on voucher drawn
on the postmaster at New York. AS
Mr.. Lorepz was going away on conf
Dental mission, request was made
that the. cash should be sent to Mr..
Machen to be delivered to Lorenz.
The general impression at the court
house is that the indictment will be re-
turned within two or three days and it
is intimated that other indictments
will be returned at the same time.
