MITCHELL'S Plea
NOT SUSTAINED

Portland, April 26.-Without ex-
ception, every contention made by
United States District Attorney Fran
els J. Heney in his argument against
the plea in abatement filed by United
States Senator John H. Mitchell, is
supported by Judge Bellinger, Of the
United States court for the district Of
Oregon, who yesterday rendered a de.
cision of about 5000 words on the
plea of abatement.
The contention of Mr.. Heney that
George Guistin, a member of the fed.
eral grand jury which indicted Senator
Mitchell, was duly qualified to serve
as juror, was supported. The defense
contended that Guistin was not citi
zen Of the United States. Judge Bel
linger holds that Mr.. Heney may prove
Guistin's citizenship by means of affi-
davits.
The reading of the decision occupied
three quarters of an hour. Besides
Senator Mitchell there we're present in
the court room number Of attorneys
for other defendants in the land frand
cases. That Senator Mitchell was
greatly disappointed was evident to all
who watched him as the reading of the
decision proceeded. Upon the plea in
abatement much hope had been placed
not only by Senator Mitchell, but by
many others charged with completely
in the Oregon land frauds.

The Little Old Story.

There was once a little old man and
a little old woman. and they lived in
little old house on a little old farm.
They had little old COW and little
old horse and a little old dog and a
little old cat.
One day the little old man dug him
a load of potatoes and started off to
little old woman took a little old
bucket and went out to the little old
barn to milk the little old COW. But no
sooner had she began her milking than
the little old cow picked up her little
old feet and kicked the little old wom-
an over. She was 80 badly hurt that
she could not get up. so she lay on the
ground calling to the little old dog,
"Tipsy. Tipsy, o. Tipsyp"
The little Old dog came and walked
around the little old woman and knew
not what to do. by and by she be-
gan saying, go for your master,
Tlpsy. Go for your master, Tipsy"'
The little old dog, who was sitting
1col3ng Mt her with his 1itrle old
tongue hanging out of his little old
mouth, trOtted off down the road to
town.
He found the little old man in a
store, where he had just sold his po-
tatOes and was putting his little old
pocketbook into his little old pocket.
why, bless me, here's Tipsy." the
little old man cried when he saw the
little old dog.
Tipsy took the little old mans coat
edge between his teeth and pulled 1t
it. "Tipsy, Tipsy. is there anything
wrong at home?" the little old man
asked him; and when the little old
dog kept on pulling. the little old
man ran out to the little old hitching
rail. united the little old horse. jumped
in his little old wagon. and whipped
up the little old horse to rs fast a trot
as he could travel.
When he finally got to his little old
house he saw no little old woman any
where about. SO he quickly drove back
to the little old barn. and there she
lay, still grooming on the ground.
The little old man picked up the lit
tie old woman in his arms and carried
her into the little old horse and laid
her on the little old lounge. Then they
sent for the little old doctor, and he
came in his little old buggy with his
little old fat gray horse and gave the
little old woman "A little old pill. SO
that she was soon we'll again.
But they all knew that If it had not
been for the little old dog the little
old woman might never have got well,
so they gave him the best there was
in the house to eat: but they sold the
little old COW to the little old dairy
man, who lived in little old house
back of little old hill. And every
day the little old dog Tipsy would trot
down to make visit to his friend the
little old cow.-St Nicholas.

ton. A Partisan chemist, Schlum-
berger by name, told the bank officials
that it would be an easy thing to re-
produce the new notes, offered to
prove his statement. ard also suggest
ed to them new process Of his own
invention which should make counter
feiting impossible. The directors Of
the bank declined to accept any sug-
gestions and contented themselves
with warning the chemist not to at
tempt to initiate the new violet note.
He did so. however and his imtta tons
appeared as supplement to an issue
of lie MOniteur, printed on thick paper
and with the words 800 lizards" in
stead Of 800 Francs" The joke was
on the bank. but 1t cost Schlumberger
500 francs fine. while the editor of the
journal was fined 100 francs.
Paper money, with all the safe
guards which governments attempt to
throw about it. is peculiarly suscept-
ible of counterfelting. and in the opin-
ion Of Mr. Krausz so long as paper
money exists so long will counterfeits
be made.

A commission will divide the Trans.

in the assembly will be carried on in
English, but the president of the volks.
raad may permit a member to use the

must be recommended to the bly,
by the governor, and no part of the
revenue may be appropriated without

HILL, MORGAN, ROCKEFELLER and
VANDERBILTS.
Coalition Which Proposes to Vote
as a Unit When Hartman In.
tereStS Are Not TheirS-Dream
OF TranSC0ntinental Line Still
Only q Dream.

Boston, April 26.-It is learned that
Harriman's ambitious plan to unite
the New York Central, Chicago and
Northwestern and Union Pacific rail-
way companies into one big transpor-
tation system has been abandoned by
the Hartman interests chiefly because
he has been sat upon by the Morgan,
Rockefeller and Vanderbilt interests,
allied with James j. Hill.
These four have formed a coalition
which can put an effectual stopper
on Mr.. Hartman at any time that his
plans go contrary to their wishes. An
understanding has been reached by the
so-catled Morgan, Rockefeller and Hill
interest in the. Union Pacific by which
the holdings of these three will be- vot.
ed as unit in deciding all questions
affecting not only this property but its
relations to other railroads as we'll.
AS consequence of such understand
ing it is probable that the proposed
500, 900, 900 worth of new Union Pa
cific sSock may not be authorized at
the meeting to be held May Is in Salt
Lake.
1t has been known since the an.
nouncement Of this stupendous finan-
cial proposition that the Morgan PEG.
pie would resist its being effected with
all their power. Mr.. Harrimans tao
tics have offended many influential
men, and opposition to his schemes
has been due as much to his personal
attitude as to any other objections his
opponents may have. Influential men
of the Hill party have been very bitter
in their expressions about him. the
Vanderbilts propose to adhere to their
policy Of keeping their money east of
Chicago, although it is still proposed
to make Vanderbilt merger embrac.
ing the Omaha road. The plan to
have the Union Pacific take the New
York Central, however, has been aban-
doned, while there are likely to be
some further arrangements of the
Northwestern map.

WORK OF COUNTERFEiTERS.
Always Clever, in Ancient as Well as
Modern Timee.

Writing in the New England Maya
zine, Sigmund Krausz furnishes an in
teresting article on ancient and mod
ern counterfeiters. The beginnings Of
this unlawful art have been traced to
the eighth century. +. c.. when coun-
terfeiters were quite as clever as their
modern successors. Gold and silver
plated coins were certainly known 10
Herodotus, and 1t Is said that Poly
crates cheated the Spartans by paying
them tribute in counterfeit gold coins
There is no evidence that any one
undertook the counterfeiting Of the
iron currency OF ancient Sparta.
In the matter Of paper money and
it's counterfeits, history takes us back
to 1000 Il. c., at which time China was
making use of leather notes. These
were counterfeited by the wholesale,
and the same thing was done 1000
years later, when China issued the
