Portland, July 29.-The scramble for
the district judgship has begun afresh,
since w. w. Cotton threw away the
plum, and aspirants for the Job are
slanting their eyes toward Clatsop
county, where dwells Senator Fulton.
and toward the third floor of the Fed
erai courthouse, where holds forth Dis
trict Attorney Francis J. Heney. That
Mr.. Fulton and Mr.. Heney have the
strongest pull of anybody in Oregon is
realized by all the candidates.

WAS IN PRINEvlLLE.
Prosecution Proves Williamson Was
There in June, 1902.

Portland, July 2S.-Testimony yes
terday in the trial of Williamson, Ges-
ner and Biggs for alleged subornation
OF perjury, established beyond question
that Williamson was in Prineville from
June IA to "a in 1902. This point was
disputed by the defense at the former
trial, but yesterday morning Judge Bur
nett said Williamson had investigated
his whereabouts in June, 1902, had
found that he was in Prineville then
and is quite willing to admit it. How
ever, the prosecution put on witnesses
to show that the defendant was there
on the above dates. Examination of
witnesses by the prosecution in the
morning was gathering up of the de-
tails OF the case preparatory to submit
ting 1T. The government finished with
Its witnesses in the afternoon. On the
whole, the case of the prosecution
shows stronger than at the former trial
and every effort is being made to avert
the possibility of hung jury by the
presentation of every bit of evidence in
the hands of the government.

DENIES DOING WRONG.
Gesner Takes Stand for Defense at
Land Fraud Trial.

Portland, July 29.--Defense in the
case of the United States vs.. Congress-
man Williamson, Gesner and Biggs,
charged with subornation of perjury,
yesterday made complete denial OF
the charges of the prosecution by put
ting Gesner ON the stand. He denied
ever having made contract with the
entrymen to buy land, although he adj
mitted lending them money, and said
he had stated to certain entrymen that
the claims would be worth, upon final
proof being completed, 5000 to him.
DR.. Gesner is old and feeble. He
leans heavily on his cane, which is his
constant companion. Twenty years of
the practice of medicine in the Prime
vile country has broken his health.
Long rides to widely scattered patients
at all hours of the day and night over
poor roads have ruined his physique.

portion of the timber land within the

There is an immense body OF timber

upon the unexpectedly determined
workmen yesterday as revealing
new phase in the character of the pa
tient masses.
Many special correspondents give
extravagant reports. For instance.
the correspondent of the Daily Mail
says that 10000 people from Kolpino
were met at the Moscow arch, on the,
confines of ST. Petersburg, with six
volleys, and that 1000 fell dead and
500 wounded. Other correspondents
state that the workmen have pro-
claimed their intention to attack pri-
vate property and that Minister of
the Interior SviaOpolk-Mirsky has
consented to receive a deputatiOn of
workmea today. Whilst many est
mate the casualties at anywhere near
1000 killed and 5000 wounded, there
is everywhere conclusive evidence of
the impossibility of yet estimating
with any degree of exactitude.
ST. Petersburg, Jan. 22.-3:36 p. m.
One hundred and fifty persons were
killed or wounded in the conflict in
the Palace square. The mob is infur-
lated and vowing vengeance.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 22.-About &c
o'clock this morning $4,000 men start
ed from the Neva works toward ST
Petersburg, but in an hour later were
stopped by two companies of Cossacks
drawn up in five rows who barred the
way.
The Cossacl1s fired three volleys of
blank shots and some of the strikers
fed across the Neva but others held
their ground
1t is not yet known how many per
sons were killed or wounded. Mount
ed troops are now massing around the
palace.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 22.-(4:32 p.

The first barricades have been con-

where fighting occurred later, result
ing in the killing of thirty Of the de-
tenders OF the barricades. The
strikers, driven from the river front,
had gathered in front of the, union

diers. Buzzing like a nest of angry
hornets, a hundred men brandished
handleleSs table knives secured from
some junk shop which were the only
weapons seen in the hands of the
swarmed up poles and cut telegraph,
telephone and electric light wires,
which were strung from lamp post to
lamp post across the street to break
up charges of cavalry. At first none
of the leaders seemed to have any
plans. Suddenly two men appeared
carrying ladders. and others pushed
nd
lumber from incomplete buildings
and old sleighs. In the twin6ling Of
an eye a substantial barricade had
been constructed, bound together with
wires and ropes. On there water was
poured which Immediately froze. AS
a last contribution Christmas trees
were added to the pile and the crowd
rushed to repeat the process at the
other end of the block. Meanwhile
others were bringing on brick and
breaking them for missiles. When
the troops advanced the strikers lined
the barricades and offered what re-
sistance they could; but while half
of the infantry rested their rifles on
barricade and vOlley, the others de-
molished the construction and
marched over the street which was
then encountered with fifty dead Or
wounded lying on the snow crimson
