WANTS 1T STRONGER.
President Would Like Private Car
Amendment to Railroad Bill.

Washington, Feb. 9.-While Presi-
dent Roosevelt approves Of the Esch-
Townsend railroad freight bill pending
before the house Of representatives, it
is understood that he would like to
have incorporated in it stronger provi-
sions relating to private car lines.
Representative Babcock, of Wiscon-
sin, had talk yesterday about the
pending legislation. He holds the
same views regarding private car lines
as the president. They discussed the
bill for some time. Other members
also talked with the president about
pending railroad legislation.
The president is endeavoring to
bring about action in the senate at this
session on the rate question. hoping
the senate may take up the Esch-
Townsend measure when the bill
reaches it.
A delegation of Georgia and West
Virginia peach growers appeared yes
terday before the subcommittee of the
house committee on interstate and for
eign commerce, investigating private
car lines in protest against any legis-
lation that might have the effect Of
eliminating the use of private cars.

u. S. CONTENTION GOOD.
Privy Council Overrules Cana.
dian Justice in Greene
Gaynor Case.

London, Feb. 9.-The privy council
has rendered its decision in the Greene
Gaynor case in favor of the America
government. The council reversed the
two judgments of Justice Caron, of
Quebec, August ID, 1902, and ordered
the respondents to pay the costs of ap.
peal. b.
The councils decision criticizes the
action Of Justice Caron in releasing
Greene and Gaynor and Caron's Eek
traordinary intervention" and adds:
"Where prisoner is brought before
a competent tribunal charged with an
extradition offense, and is remanded
for the express purpose of afording the
prosecution an opportunity of bringing
forward evidence whereby the accuse
ton is to be supported; if, in such a
case, on writ of habeas corpus, a
learned judge treats remand warrant
as nullity and proceeds to adjudicate
the case as though the whole evidence
was before him, it would paralyze the
administration of justice and render it
impossible for proceedings in extradi-
ton to be effective"
The decision simply reverses Justice
Caron's judgments and leaves Greene
and Gaynor under remand as before
Justice CarOn interviewed.

Position of United States Again Set

Washington, Feb. S.-The state de-
partment has made no overtures in the
interest of peace recently to either Rus

No matter what course is followed
in arranging terms of peace, the one
point upon which the United States
government will insist is that both
Russia and Japan shall, in the settle
ment, live up to the terms of the un
dertaking to which both of them have
subscribed, that the integrity of China
shall be respected, and the equal right
of all powers in China recognized in

Many homesteads have been
Cancelled lately in Eastern Oregon.
In the vicinity of Ukiah, seven in
a body were thrown out at one
swoop. Under present conditions,
the homestead law is difficult
problem, not only for the govern
ment to maintain, but for the
actual settler to comply with. The
day when a man could 60 out and
file upon a good farm has passed
away long since, and today it is
almost impossible to comply with
the real intent of law that was
passed to contend with conditions
that are not here. Continuous
residence and making a living up
on latter day homesteads are two
important questions that abso-
lutely refuse to harmonize. The
law says that the settler shall do
one, the other, the settler must do.
The department wonders why a
man would want claim that he
could not 60 out and make a liv-
ing on. While there is some logic
in this, still 1t is true that these
claims represent value that would
be great help to many a poor
man-the class of people that the
government wants to help. The
law needs to be modified. The
question is one that should be
made special study of by our
Western representatives.
