manufacturers have decided to reject the
strikers demand and that the orthodox
priest, Father Gopon, the picturesque

on Sunday at the head Of 100000 strik
ers to the winter palace with d petition

At TRIAL IN PORTLAND
After Testimnoy Occupying an Hour
is Given the Arguments Are
Begun.

Portland, Ore, June 2S.-Practically
no defense was made by attorneys for
United States Senator John II. Mitch
ell yesterday in the land fraud cases
brought by the government against
him. The defense rested its case after
the examination of only one witness,
in which an hour was consumed.
Senator Mitchell did not take the
stand, as was expected by the crowd
that filed the court room, to refute the
testimony of his former partner, Judge
A. II. Tanner, and of his former pri-
vate secretary. Harry c. Robertson.
No Money Received Directly.
Senator Thurston, for Senator Mitch
ell, spoke as to the instructions to be
given the jury. He contended that the
indictment alleged that money had
been paid to the senator by Fred A.
Kribs, and argued that the proof show
ed that checks had been given Tanner,
who. in turn, sent them to Mitchell,
thus preventing any knowledge on the
part of the defendant as to the source
OF the dividends paid him by the firm.
The defense asserted that while the
indictment charged the direct receipt
of money from Kribs by Mitchell, the
most that could be shown was the in-
direct receipt of money from the bank
District Attorney Heney maintained
that the indirect receipt of money was
all that was contemplated by the stat
