Executive of the Rhodes Estate.
London Princess Radziwill has de-
cided to lring action against the exc
cutors of the estate of Cecil Rhodes,
with the object of vindicating her
character from accusations in connec-
ton with her personal relations with
Rhodes.
Princess Catherine Radziwill was
sentenced to two years Imprisonment
by the Supreme Court of Cape Colony
April 80, 1902, for forgery in connec-
ton with notes purporting to have
been indorsed by Mr.. Rhodes. 1t was
alleged by the London papers that Mr..
Rhodes death was due to the worry
which she caused him and to the fact
that he was obliged to return to South
Africa in the hottest of weather to
prosecute the case against her.

COMPANY WINS
SECURES TITLE TO LANDS
IN SOUTH PART OF STATE.
Decision Rendered in the Circuit
Oourt-Case VIII BE Taken to the
State Supreme Court-The Various
Departments of the Land Bureau
Have Heretofore Ruled Adversely
to the Settlers-Governor Cham
berlain Sides With Settlers.

Salem, Jan. 14.-Once more the
scored a victory in its protracted fight
TO establish title against settlers on
some of the most valuable lands in
the southern part of the state. Judge
IL. l.. Benson has rendered a decision
in favor of the company in the suit
the state, at the request of Governor
Chamberlain, who has made a strong
effort to establish the settlers claims.
An appeal will doubtless be taken to
the state supreme court.
The controversy is one of the most
noted land cases which has arisen in
oregon. 1t has been carried from the
I.akeview land office to the general
land office at Washington and then
to the secretary of the interior. The
latter gave decision adverse to the
settlers claims and Governor Cham
berlain then took up their cause.
The governor had long correspon-
dence with the secretary of the in
terror, which has been the occasion
of much newspaper comment, but the
secretary refused to modify the stand
he had taken. Governor Chamber
lain's contention was that patents
should not be issued to the company,
but to the state, but this contention
was overruled and patents to much of
the land were issued to the '0ompany's
attorney.

to kill such splendid men," Nader

Special Order from the Gar.

St Petersburg, Jan. 1.-THE car
today issued the order Of the day to
the army in praise of the heroic de-
fense Of Port Arthur by stoessel and
the garrison. The order reads:
Port Arthur has passed into the
hands of the enemy. After a struggle
lasting IL months, during seven OF
which the brave garrison was isolat-
ed without hope, nevertheless they
sustained the siege, hardships, priva-
tions and moral tortures without COM
plant, determined that the enemy
would gan nothing without paying
withstood the enemy's furious at
tacks.
"My brave soldiers and sailors lez
not this sorrow discourage you. Our
enemy is brave and strong, and it IN
extremely difficult to sustain the
struggle at a distance of 10000 verstss
but Russia is great and powerful, and
during her national life of 1000 years
she has given hard proof of her abiII-
ty to overcome even more serious
dangers. Each time she has arisen
more powerful than ever, and full O.
renewed vigor.
I'VE are greatly grieved by our lack
of success and painful losses, but LEI
us not abandon courage. 1t is in sor-
rowful times, such as these, that the
power of Russia renews itself. I am
confident that the hour of victory rs
striking, and God will bless our dear
army and navy's effort to crush the
enemy and sustain the honor ana
glory of the fatherland."
