Judge c. B. BeIlinger SuCcumbS
to InrOadS Of Mdlady.
DUE TO The LAND FRAUD CASES
Hearing Of Gases Occupied All His
Time Since Last November
Mitchell Case the Climax.

Portland, May IS. - United States
District Judge Charles B. Bellinger
surrendered in his long struggle for
life yesterday afternoon and passed
peacefully away at 3:45 o'clock, sur
rounded by the members of his family
and a few of his most intimate and
longtime friends.
The outcome was expected and the
during all of the day. The judge
passed a restless and unsatisfactory
night on Thursday and was much weak
er when day dawned yesterday morn
ing. During the morning he sank into
semi-conscious condition, and as the
day heightened into the afternoon the
stupor became more marked, until
it was impossible to rouse the patient
to consciousness.
The death of Judge BeIlingecr can be
traced directly to the Oregon land fraud
cases, which have filled his time from
the middle of November last. On Sun
day, April %, the Judge worked all day
on the decision which he was to hand
down the following morning on the
Mitchell plea of abatement. He went
early to his Office. and the weather be-
ing warm, worked in his shirtsleeves
until noon, when he walked home to
luncheon, returning again directly
afterwards and working until late in
the afternoon. The next day he also
worked ON the decision, and Tuesday,
the day upon which it was delivered,
he awoke with fever and feeling i'll.
Judge Bellinger was born in Maquon
Illinois, November 81, 1889, and cross
ed the plains with his parents i'll 1S41
and settled in Marion county. He was
a veteran of the Modoc war. In 1865
he was admitted to the bar and served
as clerk and official reporter of the Su
preme court from 1874 to 1878. II,
was Judge of the Fourth district Circui
court from 1873 to 1880, and was "ap

for Oregon by Grover Cleveland in 1893

HAS NOT SOLD.
Klamath Canal Company Holds Out
for Its Terms.

for Its Terms.
Washington, May 12. -. Up to the
present time the government. has been
unable to come to any satisfactory ar
with the Klamath Canal
company, whereby that corporation
will relinquish its rights and holdings
in the Klamath basin and withdraw
in order that the government may un-
dertake the construction of the Klam-
ath irrigation project.
At recent conference between Off
Gals of this company and the engineers
of the Reclamation service, the COM
pany renewed ite offer to sell out for
$250,00 This offer was rejected.
The figure named is very much more
than the property. is worth. An esti-
mate on the property and work done
by the company places the actual value
at not to exceed 100000, and it is
the general opinion among government
engineers and residents of the Klamath
basin that a bonus of $50, 900 addi-
tlonal is more than ample inducement
to the company to step aside. The
latest advice received by the Reclama-
tion service here is that the company is
holding out for its own price, and will
not consider an offer of $3.50, 900.
1t may be set down as fact that the
government will not pay $3.50, 900, and
it ls by no means certain that Secretary
Hitchcock will approve the purchase of
this property at $3.50, 900, although the
matter has never been presented to
him, and will lot be until an agree
ment. is reached between the Reclama-
tion service and the canal company.
Ii, after reasonable time, an amicable
arrangement cannot be made, it is un-
derstood the government will acquire
that property by condemnation pro-
ceedings.

coNeER BACK FROM CHINA.
High Words of Praise for Condition
of Chinese Government.


of Chinese Government.
San Francisco, May 16.-E. 81. Con-
ger, ex-American minister to China,
who was recently appointed ambassador
to Mexico, arrived today on the steam
er Siberia, from the Orient. Mrs.
Conger accompanied him. It is Mr..
Conger's intention to proceed almost
Immediately to the City of Mexico, un-
less he receives orders to the contrary.
Mr.. Conger said that diplomatic mat
ters in China are in satisfactory con-
dition. To question as to China's
neutrality in the Russo-Japanese war,
he said:
"China has always been disposed to
maintain the strictest neutrality be-
tween the warning nations, and, al
though there has been considerable
criticism from both Japanese and Rus
sian sources, believe that the Chinese
government has never shown partiality
one way or the other, but has always
adhered strictly to the requirements
of the international law"
Mr.. Conger was asked concerning the
periodic rumors of Boxer uprisings and
replied:
''There is absolutely no truth in such
reports. There is no danger of another
Boxer outbreak. Of course, there are
occasional troubles in the interior, but
they arise from purely local causes
which have no bearing on the presence
of foreigners. There is no organized
movement in China against foreign peo
pie. There never has been time il
the history of the country when th'
government was more ready or bettel
prepared to put down any incipien
organized effort that might be directed
against resident foreigners"

Pattern For Pretty Slirred Waist Desis
Martha Dean-No. 1894

Nothing brings out the lights and shad-

1t is argued that this method of fashion.
ing bodices is likely to be unbeeon,inx to
figures not of slender lines. but the ao-
eompanyins design proves the contrary.
The bodice and sleeves are shirred In yer.
teal lines. the shirrings being marked
with straight narrow pipings. These give
Iensthenins lines to the figure and pre-
vent any bungling or pouchy effects.
These lines OF shlrring form v In back,
