And Bob Says Twas Eyer Thus From
.ss--e@-s Childhood's Ho ur.
On Bob Johnson's homeward trip
from California he became chummy
on the train with a man named
Russell who represented himself as
a wonderful prize fighter, and all
accounts agree that he is a perfect
specimen of physical manhood.
After Bob's arrival home he sung
the praises of the fellow constantly
for several days. He had gotten a
few -gi1t.edged tips from Russell,
too, and believed that money placed
on his favorite would be as
good as won in advance.
But Bob's idol has been knocked
into, all kinds of smithereens, not
by an opponent in the ring, but by
the Portland po1icemen's know1-
edge that Russell is a crook. Soon
after his arrival in Portland he was
taken into custody, and placed in
Jail until he was ready to leave the
city,. It seems, from accounts, that
one Of many shady practices which
Russell INDUCES in is to board q
street car and stand in the door. He
is so big that no one can crowd
past him, and soon the platform is
jammed. An accomplice, standing
on the crowded platform, quickly
selects few articles OF value from
the people on the car, and the two
alight and go on their way rejoic
ing. Information in Wednesday, S
Oregonian settled Russell's char
acter, and the fellows began mildly
to take issue with Bob as to his
mans admirable qualities; but he
argued faithfully in behalf of Rus
| ell, not having noticed the ac
counts of Russe11s misdemeanors
But Russel1's detractors were hourly
reinforced with stunning evidence,
and finally Bob was compelled t
surrender Internationally. He nov
keeps moving to escape the gooe
natured jeers of his friends.

AT STEWARDS HILL.
Contract let for new Bridge and Re-
duction of Grade.

In the commissioners court We'd
nesday, a contract was let for the
construction of new bridge at
Stewards hill, north of Corvallis on
the Albany road. The contract
also provides for a heavy reduction
of the grade at the north end of the
bridge, and for an extensive fill at
the south end. The latter will shor-
ten the bridge from about 100 feet
to 90 feet. The present bridge has
been condemned, and while the re-
newa1 is in progress, the, change in
the grade to a permanent basis,
and by which the bridge expenses
could be materially and forever re-
dueed, was deemed advisable. The
contract was awareed to R. M Gil
bert at $825. The other bid was
Henry Mil1ho1len, 5000.

DR.. A. A. Anes, former mayor and
elder brother Of the man who has a SEN

heard the news Of his brothers fate. Al
tho he stands convicted of a similar Of

Colonel Ames was, he was as calm as
any one could be when he learned that
Fred was practically on his way to Still

THE RIGHT OF VETO
Talk of Revlvlng the Medieval Authority
Possessed by Three Powers.

Rome, July 1O.-Premfer Zanadelli had
long conference to-day with the minister
Of justice, Signor Coccu- Omortu, under
whose jurisdiction are all religious af-
fairs in Italy, about the eventual right OF
veto which the Italian government might
exercise at the next conclave. Three
Catholic powers, Spain, France and Aus
tria enjoy this privilege, termed ''the
right Of exclusion which entities them to
veto the election Of a candidate who is
not persona grata to their governments.
In such a case a power which may desire
to prevent the election Of certain can
didate deputies a cardinal Of It's nationality
to announce the objection at the conclave
but the announcement must be made while
the scrutiny Is going on. before the can
didate has received the majority of votes
required to elect, otherwise the protest
would be invalid.
This right has been regarded as ex-
tremely important especially in the mid
die ages, when Italy, being the largest field
of action for France and Austria and
Spain, the choice Of a pontif was ques-
ton OF supreme Importance, as he played
q leading part In their Disputes. Italy

Oyster Bay, L: l., July 1o.-President
Roosevelt is the guest to-day of John Bur-
roughs, the poet naturalist, at West Park,
Ulster county, New York: Accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt, the president left Sycamore
Hills about 9 o'clock last night, boarded the
naval yacht Sylph and started for West Park.
So carefully guarded were. the plans for the
trip that not even the officers Of the secret
service were informed. None of the officers
accompanied the president. ..
The president expected to land at West
Park early this morning and pass the time
with Mr.. Burroughs until o'clock this af-
ternoon. The return trip to Sycamore Hill
will be made without stop. -
King Edward of England, after proposing

after the Filipino uprising, the regiment

the understanding that he would resign
when he reached San Francisco. Charges
Of cowardice had been preferred against
him by fellow officers in the field, but
these were withdrawn when he left the

claims the right referred to as the heir
Of the kingdom of the two Sicilies. which
enjoyed the right, but Italy did not ex-
ercise 1t In the last convlave and may
perhaps find 1t difficult to do so now, as
no Italian cardinal, even among those who
are most conciliatory, would undertake to
represent united Italy, which is considered
by the church to have usurped the tenn
poral sovereignty Of te papacy. Besides.
Italy's policy consists in considering the
papacy to be more q spiritual power,
which enjoying under Italian law COM
plete liberty and independence, can with
out political intervention exercise its min
istry In Rome. the capital of the king
dom.
Right Is Disputed.
Portugal also claims to be entitled to
veto the election OF an undesirable car
dinal to the papacy, but her right has
never been acknowledged. Austria tried
at both the last conclaves respectively to
prevent the election Of Plus TX. and Leo
XIII. bu the two cardinals. Gayruck and
Ganglebiur, deputed for the task, both
arrived too late.
The last time the right Of exclusion
was successfully employed was In 1885
when Spain prevented Cardinal Giustinian
from being elected pope, when he had al
ready received 81 out of the 20 votes
necessary for election. Cardinal Giustin-
ian was SO disappointed that he died
shortly after the conclave.

At the door he greeted his wife, who

his wife and children. To this the officers
readily agreed. and later accepted the in

private affairs after dinner, and, simply

years he bore the name of Alexander the her

No one ever knew what drove him from

WASHINGTON INTERESTED
Philippine Situation Makes Selection o
New pope Important

New Pope Important.
Washington, July 10.-For the first time
In its history the United States govern
ment is taking a personal interest in re-
ports from Rome in regard to the person.
mel Of the candidates who have been men
toned as possible successors to Pope
Leo In case Of his death. Because of the
influence Of the church in the Philippine
islands, it is considered Of the utmost i'm
portance that the new pope should be
friendly toward the United States and
this is particularly important in view of
the pending negotiations for the acquisi-
ton by the Philippine government of the
friar lands In the Philippines.
When Governor Taft went to Rome he
had little Difficulty in securing the active
support Of Pope Leo in an endeavor to
convince the friars that they should give
up their Philippine property and retire to
some other country. Pope Leo had not
been member Of any church order, and
tho surrounded by prelates, many of whom
were affiliated with some Of the orders
represented in the Philippines, he gave
assurances that he would do all that he
could to bring about an an1icable under
standing between the Philippine govern
ment and the friars. -.
An official who Is we'll informed on the
negotiations conducted in Rome by Gov
ernor Taft Is authority for the statement
that Cardinal Rampolla, secretary of state
OF the vatican, who visited this country
some years ago, was also friendly to the
interest of the United States, and that he
showed such friendship for this country
and exhibited such liberal ideas as to
make him among all other, candidates,
the most acceptable to this government
1t can be said upon the best authority
that Cardinal Gotti, altho a member of
one Of the church orders, or Vannutelli,
would be more agreeable to this govern
ment in every way than Cardinal Marti-
nelli. On the other hand, there would be
a feeling of security should either Cardinal
Rampolla or Cardinal Satolli; be elected
pope, as their influence in Philippine mat
ters would, it is believed, be in the inter-
est Of peace and not hostile to the United
States.
