MITCHELL,s TRIAL.
Legal sparring in Case of the United
 States, Senator.

States Senator.
 Portland, Ore, April 1S.--In the United States court today United states Senator Mitchell, through his attorney, MT. Bennett, endeavored to sustain the regularity of the proceedings relating to the introduction of his plea 'n abatement in connection with his in- dictment In the land fraud cases. MT Bennett contended for the right to file the plea in abatement in the Federal court and argued that if it raises question of fact, the defendant Is en- titled to a trial therec6 by jury. that If 1t does not raise a question of fact. then the issues must be decided by the court.
 Judge Bellinger indicated by fre- quent interruptions that a plea in abatement is merely a permit to chal- lenge the grand jury. where there has been no otaer opportunity. and said the question becomes of added import ance in that the case could not be tried on its merits if the separate pleas in abatement are to be given a jury trial
 The argument. proceeded upon tho merits of the plea In abatement, Judge Bellinger having made a temporary ruling that for the purpose of argu- ment the affidavits of United States District Attorney Heney and Juror Guiston need not be considered as having been filed.
 Before the arguments commenced to- day Ira Wade. indicted for complicity in the Siletz Indian reservation with w. N. Jones and others. pleaded not guilty to the conspiracy charged and Dr. w. H. Davis. Mayor of Albany, filed a demurrer to the indictment against him.

WEATHER FORECAST.
Washington, April 1S.-FOr Alabama Pair Wednesday; Thursday light west winds and rain.

For nearly an hour after the recess had been taken many delegates remain ing in and about the hall discussing the election of officers, which Is to take place tomorrow. Mrs. Donald Mo- Leans friends entered a vigorous com plaint because neither Mrs. Mclean nor any of her adherents in New York city Chapter of the Society had been repre-. scented on the Continental Memorial Hall Committee for seven years. This complaint was called to the attention or Mrs. Fairbanks. the president general, who authorized the following state- ment:
 q appoint people to committees, es- peciallv to the Continental Hall Com mittee. from my personal knowledge or their interest in building that struc- ture. There arc thousands who arc thus interested. It is my duty to ap- point from these, not from those who have not done work for the building project"
 When the statement was shown Mrs. McI.ean's friends they declared cmphat- fcalIy that both they and Mrs. Mclean had the deepest interest in the Memo- rial Hall project and were just as earn est in their support of 1t as any others in the society, but they never haa Deeh afforded the opportunity to demonstrate their interest
 Nominations of officers for the en- suiua year occupied the attention or the Congress tonight but before they had been completed. the hour for od- journment arrived.

TOGO BRAVE,
 BUT CAUTIOUS Wants to Save His Ships in Coming Fight. TORPEDO BOAT FL0TILLA Russians to Be HarraSSed and
 Picked Off, Jap Admiral's Force of Miniature Fighters, Far Superior to Those of Rojestvensky, Will Do
 Yeoman Service.
TORPEDO BOAT FL0TILLA

London, April 1S.-Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister to Great Britain, expressed the opinion to the Associ- ated Press today that Admiral Togo would not give battle to Admiral Roj- estvensky with his entire squadron. but would continue the caution which characterized his attacks on the Port Arthur squadron, not because he feared defeat, but owing to his desire to in- fict the greatest amount of damage on the Russians with the least loss to himself.
 While confident of his ability to ac- complish the total destruction of the Russian squadron in a big battle there is danger of Togo losing one or two of his big ships. Therefore Baron Hayashi believes Togo vii lemploy his torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroy CTS, which number more than hun dred and are vastly superior to the Russian torpedo boat fiotilla, in har- rassing the Russians while gradually picking off the Russian warships. He said the coasts of Japan. Korea and Formosa lend themselves to night work with torpedo boats while the narrow channels will make the maneuvering of large war ships difficult and dan gerous.

San Juan, P. R., April 1S.-Six meet ings of strikers were held simultane- ously yesterday in the Ponce district.

The crowd attacked the police, cluos and reVolvers were used and number of persons were wounded. including three of the police. A lieutenant of po- lice received a csalp wound from a ma chete. After a number of arrests had been made, order was restored although with great difficulty.
 About 400 strikers attended another meeting on the plaza at Ponce Ora tors of the American Federation of Ia bor and President Sanchez of the local organization addressed the men. A disturbance ensued and the police used their clubs which was followed by re- volver shooting from the crowd. The situation became decidedly alarming but the firing brought endorsements of police and order was partly restored.
 An attempt to rescue arrested strik- CTS while they were on their way to jail provoked another disturbance dur ing which a number of persons were injured though none seriously.
 The Federation orators are bitter in their denunciations of the political par ties or GOTtO tNlCO ana accuse the pO- lice of wilfully melting the strikers to riot.
 Quiet has been restored.
 Presidents Sanchez and Storer, the American Federation leader, will fur nish bail for strikers who are unable to secure bondsmen.
 The strikers have announced their intention of holding another mass meeting at Ponce and the police have been ordered not to permit any further disturbances.
 In an interview President Sanchez said the American flag was not insulted or torn when the police dispersed the Ponce gathering. He claims that a fight between rowdies caused the riot, but laborers from other cities assert that the police are engaged in con spiracy against the strikers. They will hold several minor meetings to protest against the action of the police

Roie.tyensky,s Achievement.

Paris, April 1S.-The Russian naval attache here. Captain Yepantchine. in an interview says he believes the strat- egic situation will lead Admiral Togo to await Admiral Rojestvensky off Nagasaki, Japan. where Togo will have base to repair his damaged ships. This, Captain Yepantchine says, is im- portant owing to the Japanese not hay ing reserve vessels.
 The captain further says Togos strength represents seven battleships against Rojestvensky's five. The gun power of the squadrons, he asserts, Is practically the same. Togo's heavy guns dismounted for use at the siege of Port Arthur have been replaced by new guns of English and American make. ..- :. s-.-----
 Captain Kepantchine also declares that Rojestvensky's lengthy voyage and daring entrance into the waters of the Japanese constitute an achievement without historical precedent
