Ell here, timed 1:3O o'clock yesterday

kline went saeward late yesterday af
ternoon. If the squadron arrived be-
fore her departure either the surren-
der CT the battleship or a battle is re-
2afded as certain, as Aulillfdl Sneuh-
min. it is believed would not have
sent his ships in search of the mutt
nous vessels unless sure that there
would be no repetition of the Odessa
fiasco
Rumors of the most diverse nature
are in circulation, cne of which is
that two torpedo boats attacked the
Kniaz Potemkine and were sunk by
her. The cruiser ChernOmoretZ.
which was due at Sebastcpol Monday.
and for which considerable anxiety
has been felt. has arrived at falta,
on the south coast of the Crimea.

WILL TAKE UP OTHER CASES

Little Rock. July 1t was learned
yesterday from the prosecuting attor
ney's office that the real reason wbiob
led Mr. Rhoton to order The secon,;
case against Senator Covington nolls
pressed in the event Of a verdict %
acquittal in the first was convictio,3
'hat 'he second case was no stronger
than the first and that it would bo
useless to go into the trial Of tho
case in view of these conditions.
Prosecuting Attorney Rhotcn is
Still absent from the city and there
has been no official announcement az
to what action may be expected in the
future in connection with the case. T.
Helm. Mr.. Rhcton's deputy, stat
ed yesterday that the real reason
which led Mr. Rhoton to dismiss tha
second case was the knowledge that
he had no stronger evidence in that
case than he had in the first one.
which was tried last week. As 70
whether Mr. Rhoton intends to drop
the prosecution of Senator Covincton
Gf to secure another Indictment
against him. Mr.. Helm refused TO
make any statement.
1t is understood that in this second
Case Mr.. Rhoton was depending large.
ly upon the evidence of persons who
wcnld be regarded as accomplices and
that under the precedent established
by Judge Lea in inStructing the Jury
on the question of the testimony of
accompices, he regarded it as useless
to proceed with the trial at least un.
til he had had an opportunity to
strengthen his case It remains to
be seen whether Mr. Rhoton goes be-
fore the grand jury and endeavors to
secure another indictment which will
give him a stronger case.
1t has been reported on the streets
that this was Mr. Rhoton's intention
when he ordered the case nole pross-
ed, but there has been no announce
ment from his office to confirm the
report.
1t has been declared, however, that
whatever may be done in regard to
the COvingtOn case, it will have no eff
feet on the other bribery ca-es now
pending These will be prosecuted as
vigorously, it is said, as if the state
had wen a victory in the Covington
case

of five. were indicted by the grand jury
in its first report 10 days ago. were re-

TWO OF BIGGEST SHOWS
ON TRAIL" CLOSE DOORS
Attractions at Portland Exposition Re-
port Loss Owing to Refusal of
Fair to Open on Sunday.

Portland. Ore. July 1.-Two of the
largest attractions on THE Trail al
the Clark Continental exposition have
ceased operations. II is alleged that
the shows have been operating under
heavy financial loss, owing to the re-
fusal of the exposition management to
permit the Trail to open on Sundays,
and that, owing to the stipulated bonus
of % per cent of the gross receipts
collected by the fair management, it
was impossible to conduct a profitable
season.
1t is said that unless the exposition
management rescinds its Sunday clos
ing order other attractions on the
amusement street will shut their doors.
There is talk of a compromise and il
is said that the first step in this di-
rection was taken when the exposition
management reduced the evening ad-
mission price to 20 cents.

Bank Examiner Cook says the stock
holders can be paid 80 per cent from
the cash on hand. He will not venture
a guess on the final dividend.
According to Judge Spencer's esti-
mate, he expects to realize from the
present assets 81 1.S2G.2 .25O. This amount
is necessary if he is to pay back to
the stock subscribers 70 per cent of
their stock holdings. as he hopes to,
the total amount of paid up stocks
