cORRA TO PROTECT MINES.
American and British Ministers Make
Formal Requests.

Seoul, April Ill. N. Jordan and
H. N. Allen, respectively the ministers
to Corea of Great Britain and the
United States, have requested the
Corean government to give protection
to the British and American mines in
the country.
This request is mere formality as
the Japanese authorities have given
assurances of the safety from local up
risings. Mr.. Jordan says the japanese
have been extremely considerate to-
ward the British mines. They have
shown no desire to hamper mining op-
erations, have promised not to make
heavy levies of food upon the farmers
of the surrounding country, and have
agreed to facilitate the passage Of specie
for the payment of wages, and even to
supply specie for the purpose.

lNSURES EARLY ADJOURNMENT
House Makes Swayne Case a Special
Order In December.

Washington, April 1.-THE Swayne
impeachment proceeding, which has
been looked upon as the only possible
check to an early adjournment. was
disposed of in five minutes by the
house today by the adoption of reso-
luton making the case a special order
for December 13 next. In the mean
time the judiciary committee is to
take additonl testimony in the case.
After disposing of a conference report
on the army appropriation bill the
house took up the bill extending the
coastwise laws to the Philippines, and
by vote of 1872 to 100 adopted spec
ial rule to vote on this bill after a de-
bate of two hours. This debate was ex-
hausted, save five minutes, when the
house adjourned at $50 p. m. An
amendment to the bill postponing the
operation of the law until July l, 1906,
instead of 1905 will be proposed.
The partial conference on the army
appropriat on bill was agreed to. Four
senate amendments were still in dis
agreement.

Oregonians Expect 1905 Bin to Pass
the House Soon.
Washington, April There is a
prospect that the Lewis and Clark ex-
position bill will be passed by the
house the latter part of the present
week, after being considered under spec
ial rule. Chairman Tawney today in
troduced resolution authorizing con-
sideraion of the bill at any time dur
ing the remainder of the session, and
had his resolution referred to the COM
mittee on rules. There is every assur-
ance that this committee will favorably
report the resolution at its next meet
ing, notwithstanding the fact that
three members of the committee voted
against the Portland bill.
The strong showing on both roHcalls
esta blishes beyond question the fact
that the bill is favored by large ma
jority of the members of the house, and
it is believed by those in touch with
the situation that the committee on
rules will recognize the wish of the
majority, and consent to consideration
of the bill. If Tawney's resolution is
reported as expected, it will be equiva-
lsnt to special rule, and will give am
pie opportunity for debate on the bill
and permit its passage by a majority
vote.
It is now regarded as certain by Ore
gsnians here that the bill will be
passed by the house and that the meas
ure signed by the president will appro-
pirate at least the amount carried by
the house bill, namely, $475, 200.
The strength of the bill, demon
strated by the votes on Monday, testi-
fies to the effectiveness of the efforts of
friends of that measure in working up
sentiment in it's behalf.

PANAMA STRIKE GROWS SERIOUS.
America Warns Marines and Seamen
to Take No Sides.

Washington, April THE labor
troubles on the Isthmus of Panama
growing out of the strike of the en-
ployes of the Panama railroad company
have taken serious turn, and the facts
have been reported to the state depart
ment by the United States charge at
Panama. The matter was deemed of
sufficient Importance to warrant consid-
erable discussion at the cabinet meet
ing, and the unanimous opinion was
that everything should be done to avoid
an ENHANCEMENT of the United States
with any labor controversy. But it
was determined that the government
would not withhold in any degree the
protection of the Panama railroad,
which it has assumed by treaty, and it
was directed that the railroad property,
rolling stock, track and terminals
should be protected by forces from the
United States warships at the isthmus
if that became necessary.
sion exercised against the strikers to
compel them to return to work. If
the railroad management can secure
sufficient force of men to operate the
road they will be upheld in such an at
tempt. This will be done with the
full consent of the Panama government,
though under broad treaty provisions
this is not absolutely necessary.
Secretary Moody was charged with
the duty of carrying out this decision
and with instructing Admirals Glass
and Sigsbee as to the course they shall
pursue. There is ample force on the
isthmus for any emergency.

FOR PURE FOOD.
Hepburn, of Idaho, Urges Senate to Take
Some Action.


Some Action.
Washington, april 8.-After waiting
with much patience for many days,
Hepburn of Idaho today found oppor-
tunity to speak to the senate on the
subject of pure food. Technically, the
speech was in support of a resolution
calling on the secretary of agriculture
to send to the senate the results of the
Investigations made by his department
into adulterated foods. but in reality it
was in support of the pure-food bill.
Heyburn contended that a very large
proportion of foods, drugs and liquors
were adulterated, and many drugs were
absolutely poisonous.
The greater part of the remainder of
the day was devoted to Quarles' amend
ment for grading the salaries of rural
free delivery carriers. Finally it was
declared out of order. The committee
amendment bearing on the salaries of
carriers and regulating their service for
private individuals was accepted.
The postofioe appropriation bill was
still before the senate when it ad-
journed.

animals weight, and communicates
motion to the pulley or small friction

the part Of the large inclined wheel

A discarded wagon wheel might be
used as the framework of the large

surface for the animal to walk on, or
a frame is easily made, and if some

HE Is SENT TO JAIL
SENATOR BURTON, OF KANSAS, AC-
CEPTED A BRIBE.
Court Sentences Him to Six Months Inn
prisonment and Fine Of $2,SOO-
Case Will Be Appealed-It Is Only by
Strong Effort He Suppresses His
Emotion When Sentenced.

St. Louis, April 8.-Senator Burton,
of Kansas, was today denied new
trial and sentenced to six months in
the Iron county Jail and to pay a fine
of $500.
Senator Burton, accompanied by his
leading attorney, Judge Chester H.
Krum, came into court at 1890. A
case was being tried, and Judge Adams
granted recess to take up the Burton
case. Judge Adams summoned Senator
Burton to stand up, and then spoke of
the motions that had been filed for a
new trial and for arrest of judgment.
The court, after briefly reviewing the
motions, overruled them both. The
court then said to the defendant:
'Have you anything to say as to
why sentence should not be passed up
ON you?''> Trembling and evidently
suppressing his emotions with strong
effort, Senator Burton stood leaning
with both hands on a chair back as he
said:
"Your Honor will please allow me
respectfully to decline to say anything"
The courtroom was almost empty
and the silence was almost oppressive
as Judge Adams, in low, modulated
tones, began delivering the sentence to
be imposed.
At the conclusion of the sentence,
Senator Burton, who had not taken his
eyes from the court, and who had
scarcely moved as he supported him
self by the chair back, turned and sat
down, with his head bowed and his
eyes on the floor.
Attorney Judge Krum Immediately
filed bill of exceptions in the case
and offered bond of $4,000 which
was accepted, and court took recess
until o'clock to resume the previous
case. Senator Burton and Judge Krum
then hurriedly departed from the court
room.
The case will now be appealed to the
United States district court of appeals,
the highest tribunal in the matter.
1t is a coincidence that the amount
of the fine $25OO imposed upon Senator
Burton is identical with the amount
which according to the evidence he re-
ceived from the Rialto Grain & Securi-
ties company. The Iron county Jail to
which Senator Burton was sentenced
for six months, is located in the county
seat at Ironton Mo-, on the Iron Noun
tain railroad. The Jail is a two-story
brick structure and in a portion of it
Sheriff Polk makes his home with his
family.
According to the rule of the Jail
which shortens each years sentence of
a prisoner by three months for good be-
havior, Senator Burton's period of in
carce, alton there may be reduced to
four and one-half months.

San Francisco, April 9.-Mrs. Cor
della Botkin, accused of killing Mrs.
John P. Dunning, of Dover. Del, by
sending her poisoned candy through
the mails. was tonight convicted of
murder in the first degree, with the
penalty fixed at life imprisonment.
The jury was charged late this af-
ternoon, and at 4 &c o'clock retired to
deliberate. Later they were taken out
for dinner and upon returning asked to
have some testimony read to them.
At 11:l5 o'clock the the jury reported
that an agreement had been reached.
The ominousness of the announce
ment was apparent In the attitude Of
the defendant, who buried her face in
her hands and remained in that po-
sition until the foreman of the jury
had finished speaking. The court in
quired if a verdict had been arrived
at, and the foreman handed him a slip
OF paper upon which was written:
"We, the jury, find the defendant,
Cordelia Botkin, guilty of murder in
the first degree, and fix the punishment
at Imprisonment for life.'
Mrs. Botkin looked up as the court
was thanking the Jurors for their close
attention to the case, and presented a
woe-stricken countenance to her coun-
sci, who spoke some comforting words
to her.
The court named April 16 TO, formal

Jefferson City, Mo-, April -Four
convicts at the penitentiary today at

guard with revolvers. They were
forced to surrender, and when searched
several sticks of dynamite We're found
in their possession.
They had succeeded in cutting their
way out of their cells, and when Guard
John Williams, in making his 1ounds,
came upon them in the corridor, they
called upon him to halt. Williams
fed and gave the alarm, and corps of
guards responded and soon overpowered
the convicts and placed them in other
cells. The convicts assert that they
secured the revolvers and dynamite by
express, but the prison authorities be-
lieve the weapons and explosives we're
smuggled to them by friends.

nothing to the information contained

points under japanese control, but
from the Russian side also it is evil
dent that care is being exercised to
prevent news of operations leaking out.

Horse Notes to Remember.

horse NOCeS TO Ne"e"OSTs
A horse that is well trained is worth
half a dozen that are but half broken
and are therefore unsafe and undesir-
able.
Teams that have been partially idle
for some time should come into work
again gradually, and their shoulders
should be washed and bathed in salt
and water.
Never buy horse with narrow or
sallow chest, or whose forelegs are
very close together. He has not suff-
cient room for set Of strong lungs,
and will not be long winded.
In the treatment of distemper an
English veterinary advises the benefi-
cial effect Of biniodide Of mercury as
an antiseptic. Its good effects are due
more to its absorption than to its blis-
tering action, as it is the most power
full of all antiseptcs (microbe killers).
1t was used successfully in scores Of
cases as blister applied to the swell
ing under the jaws. Distemper is an
infective disease which usually confers
subsequent immunity on the patient.
