s1uesltfIelp CASE UP Asam
Matter Heard Before Judge Brents in
Chambers Today.

The Stubblefield case was taken up
again this morning in the superior
court, when testimony was introduced
by the executors of the estate to show
that the release from all claims on the
estate and a deed of certain property
executed by Cassann Stubblefield to
the executors was genuine, and was
made with the full consent of the
widow and without any coercion ON
the part of the executors of the es-
tate.
The question involved is whether
the temporary injunct' made by
Judge Brents restraining Cassann
Stubblefield from proceeding with the
case instituted in the Umatilla county
courts shall be made permanent or
not.

THEY MAY SEEK THE TOGA.
With Van SAINT May be La Toilette and
Cummins, All In Railroad Fight.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The cam
didacy of Governor Van SAINT for the
United States senate in Minnesota has
caused the political gossips in this
city to recall the visit which he made
to the president several weeks ago in
company with Governor Cummins OF
Iowa, and his urgent recommendation
to the president that something be put
into the message to congress about
better control of railroad rates. etc. In
this recommendation Van SAINT is
ernor La Toilette of Wisconsin, al
though it was not possible for the
latter to come to Washington with the
other two, and he submitted his argu-
ment to the president by letter.
1t may be said that the visit Of the
governors did not have anything to do
with making up the presidents mind.
When the visit took place the mes
sage to congress had already been
ened with a good deal of interest to
what his visitors had to say and was
doubtless pleased to know that they
were in accord with the plan ne had
previously worked out.
Van SAINT has now come out for the
senate on the platform of better reg
&c
stood here that the chances are ex-
ceedingly favorable, too that Cover
nor La Toilette will be a candidate for
the senate in Wisconsin next month
on similar platform, and now gossips
are wondering how it will be possible
for Governor Cummins to be a candi-
date in Iowa for the same exalted po-
sition.
If tariff revision or amendment
should become a living issue, as the
president is anxious that it should
Cummins stock would go up at rapid
rate at home. In fact, it has already
begun to do so and the talk OF, Secre-
tary Shaw, one of his old political en-
emies. about a lowering of the tariff
through drawback regulations is gen.
orally regarded as concession on the
part of the secretary, and an effort
on his part to get under cover from the
storm which he sees is coming.
Van SAINT and La Toilette stand with
the president and with Cumm1ns on
tariff matters as we'll as on railroad
matters. It is unique situation Wnlcn
presents itself in these three middle
states. and Washington is watching
it with undisguised interest.

try is not given much encouragement

In a report from Tekoa he Is quoted as
saying:
1T Is impossible to imagine how a
story Of this kind could be conceived
except by the most abnormal stretch
of the imagination, and as you know
some, correspondents are strong on
that point.
This Office mas had no notification
