OREGON WINS MANY PRIZES.
w. H. Wehrung Says State Made Fine
Showing at ST. Louis.

Portland, Dec. II. - After several
months in St. Louis, where he had
charge OF the Oregon exhibit at the
Louisiana Purchase exhibition, w. II.
Wehrung returned to Portland yester-
day. He reported wide interest among
Fasteners in the Lewis and Clark ex-
position and predicted there will be
heavy westward travel next year for the
purpose of seeing the Western Worlds
fair.
Mr.. Wehrung speaks highly of the
showing made by Oregon at the st.
Louis fair, saying that the state held
up we'll against states with much larger
appropriations. He also says that he
has been told that Washington's repre-
sentatives bought consignment of Ore
gon cherries from dealer and exhib-
tied them as Washington product. Thus
Oregon competed in the cherry contest
against her own product.

SLAIN BY DRUNKEN RUSSIAN
Chinaman Singled Out by Sailor and
Filled with Bullets.

Shanghai, Dec, 1.-THE disorders
created by the sailors OF the dismantled
Russian vessels Askold and Gromovoi
reached their climax yesterday when
one of the crew of the Askold murdered
a Chinaman without the slightest PROV
ocation.
The Russian was apparently intoxi.
Gated and rushed through one OF the
streets Of the Chinese settlement with
a loaded revolver in his hand. He
tired several shots at passers by, but
failed to do any damage. Then he
made for Chinaman who was stand
ing in front Of his store, and, seizing
him by the throat, emptied the remain
ing chambers of the pistol into his vic.
TINS body. A petition has been pre-.
sented to the authorities here request.
ing that the Russian crews be- excluded
from the Chinese settlements, where
they have been making life burden
for the residents. The matter will, in
all probability, be submitted TO the
foreign consuls, as not day has passed
during the past month or SO without
some complaint being made against the
Russians. So far as can be learned.
the Chinese officials have kept the
matter secret, but this latest exploit
could not be kept from the knowledge
of the people in general, and united
action is likely to be taken against the
Russian sailors.

MITCHELL MUCH GRATlFIE0.
He Wins Important Committeeship In
Face of Much Opnosition.

Washington, Dec. 10. -- Senator
Mitchell was highly gratified today to
receive the appointment as chairman
of the committee on interoceanic Gu
nails, which will handle all legislation
hereafter enacted affecting the Panama
canal and the canal zone. He succeeds
the late Senator Hanna.
A very strong fight was made to keep
Senator Mithcell out of his position,
and it was only when all endeavor to
force Senator Platt to accept the place
failed that the position was given to
the Oregon senator.
Friends Of Panama really wanted to
make Kittredge, of South Dakota,
chairman Of this committee, but could
not consistently jump him over Mitch
ell.
Senator Mitchell was fought because
he was an earnest advocate of the MIC
aragua route.

tionably take the first opportunity to

one'half. II the European bakers that
have been using the American made
flour change, it will be next to impos-
sible to get the trade back, and II never

of Insular Department.
st. Louis, Dec. 1.-THE Chronicle
this evening says:
The sale of Large Philippine exhibit
for $40, 900 to the Lewis and Clark ex-
position company, is awaiting the au-
thorization Of the NInsular department
at Washington. A careful and extern
sive list OF displays, making very
comprehensive inanimate exhibit, was
prepared by the Philippine board for
the Portland company. The price of
$4,000 was accepted by the Western
fair corporation, and the conclusion of
the deal only awaits the approval Of
the Washington authorities.
The exhibit includes displays from
the chronological, agricultural, forestry
and other important departments at
the st. Louis fair. 1t is estimated that
the Lewis and Clark company could
not duplicate the exhibit in the islands
and ship to Portland for double the
sum it will pay for the exhibit to be se-
cured in this way.

THE HOUSE THAT
JACK BUILT IS PAU
LAST PERFORMANCE OF PLEAS
ING OPERETTA AT THE OPERA
HOUSE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

The 'peretta of "The House That
Jack Built" was given as matinee
performance at the Hawaiian Opera
House yesterday afternoon. The theatre
was filled, very largely by children, the
matinee performance beng largely for
their benefit, parents not liking to take
young children to a theatrical perform
ance i'm the evening. Because of the
character of the audience the produce
ton was possibly more thoroughly en-
joyed than were previous performances
To many of those who attended, it was
their first glimpse of theatricals. There
was riveted attention and open-mouth-
ed interest as the characters of the
Mother Goose rhymes appeared i'm ac-
tual life on the stage, and the Incl
dents were actually enacted The per-
Torrance was fully equal to the pre-
vious ones, as performance, and gain
ed something from the largely juvenile
audience that saw it.
Miss Martin, under whose direction
the operetta has been so successfully
and satisfactorily presented, did a very
graceful thing just before the perform
ance began. She presented each of
the members of the orchestra and each
of the principals in the operetta with
a bouquet of flowers, with little note
of appreciation of their helpfulness.
Much credit is due the members of
the SYMPHONY Society who gave their
time and services in the orchestra
The weather at the close of the per-
Torrance was rainy and blustery, and
created some CONSERVATION and a great
deal of planning and apprehension on
the part of elders to get the children
all home safely and without running
fancy dresses or tempers with water.
Altogether few entertainments of
any character have given so much sat
isfaction to the public at large and to
those who took part i'm them, or has
yielded as handsomely for the benevo-
lence to be benefited.

The concluding portion of the direct
testimony given by Emmett May yester-

will be used as an argument by the de-
fence that the prosecution of May was
undertaken mainly as a means of re-

he admitted that ne had called AttOr-

that he heard the case had been

names mentioned.

says he invested Mrs. BettencOurt's
$1,000 but Judge Robinson ruled against
this line of questioning. The Attorney
