HIS AUTHORITY QUESTIONED.
Judge Gilbert Names Trial Judge fo-
Oregon Land Fraud Cases.


Washingtos. June 3.-The designa-
ton by Judge William B. Gilbert of the
Ninth circuit of Judge John de Haven
of the Northern district Of California
as presiding Judge In the trial Of the
land fraud cases in Oregon has led to
some embarrassment among officials
here. The recent death Of Judge Bel
linger, who was to have tried these
cases, caused a vacancy in the Oregon
district. It practically had been de-
termined by the president and the at
torney general that Judge Hunt, Unit
ed States Judge for the district of Mon
tana, should be designated to succeed
Judge Bellinger in the trials and that
the appointment of Judge Bellinger's
successor should not be made imme-
diately. At this point Judge Gilbert,
exercising authority which he supposed
he had, directed that Judge de Haven
should try the cases. This was dis
pleasing to officials Of the department
Of justice and telegram was sent to
Judge Gilbert by Attorney General
Moody inquiring by what authority he
had directed Judge de Haven to act in
the trials. Thus far no reply has been
received to that telegram. What the
result of the situation will be is uncer-
tain and whether the action of Judge
Gilbert will be overruled may depend
upon Sne reply he makes to the attor-
ney generals inquiry.

New York, June 3.-Alignment of
the parties concerned in the contro-

society appeared to have been estab-
lished when the directors meeting be-
gan. This meeting was expected to be
most exciting and it was generally
expected that the directors either
would decide to make public the re-
port of the FHick investigating COM
mittee with resolution that it's rec
concentrations be carried into effect
or that a number of directors would
resign. A friend of Vice President
James H. Hyde gave out statement
to the effect that the report of the
Prick committee probably would be
voted down. This plan, 1t was said,
had the support of President James
w. Alexander, who heretofore had op-
posed Mr.. Hyde. ...,...-....--,

Of the Orel.
Toxic, Jwne Sit is planned to
bring the battleship Orel to Yokosuka,
where the emperor will visit her.
A remarkable story is in circulation
oncerning the wounded on the Orel.
It is slid, mat a.. d G opening of the
fight 300 men were killed and wound
ed and that the groans and shrieks of
the wounded exercised so harmful an
effect that It was decided to throw the
MORALLY wounded into the sea. One
hundred and forty, it is said, were
thrown overheard. Those slightly
wounded were then fastened to the
masts to prevent their interference
with the fighting of the ship. 49,.
1t is impossible to obtain any con-
frmation of this stony, but later re-
ports indicate that the crew of the
Orel fought with desperate bravery
throughout the day previous to their
surrender. The hull of the vessel is
shell marked and many IF her guns
are smashed and dismounted. g.

CONFERENCE At CHICAGO TO DIS

PUIED QUESTIONS.
IF STRIKERS REFUSE PROPOSAL
MANY MORE DRIVERS MAY
BE LOCKED OUT.

Chicago, June "a conference was
held at the mayors Office during the
day to see if the striking teamsters
were willing to submit to arbitration
the question of permitting the Team
Owners association to make deliveries
to the boycotted stores. The contract
with the teamsters provides that dis
puted matters shall be submitted to
arbitration. Before a decision was
reached President Shea had to obey a
call of the grand jury. The confer
ence will be resumed as soon as pos
sible. In case the decision is adverse
1t is said the teamsters will have to
call the strike off or have an addition
of 5000 to the ranks of the strikers.
The 400 drivers of the Parmlee
Transfer company threaten to strike
unless they get an increase of wages
and the stablemen employed by the
same corporation may also 60 out for
the same reason. The company Is
making preparations to do business in
the event OF a strike.
The grand jury is still investigating

that some of them are barred by the

benefits were paid by coal men during

ing the day by declaring that an at
tempt at bribery was made by some of
the big packers during the progress

TO DECIDE on PEACE OR war
GEAR TO FOLLOW ANCIENT IRA.
0'7'o"s AND SUMMON A
zEMskY SoRoR.

st. Petersburg, June 3.-Although
official confirmation is lacking the AS.
ISOLATED Press again hears on very
high authority that Emperor Nicholas
has resolved to follow the ancient ira
ditions of the house of Romanoff and
summon a Zemsky sober to meet in the
ancient capital of Moscow to decide on
peace or war and determine the form
and prerogatives of the future Russian
parliament.
, Prices on the bourse during the. day
were steady, the effect of the Russian
defeat in the Sea of Japan being Off
set by persistent reports of political
changes.
The diplomats agree that Russia
must decide whether the peace nego-
tiations shall begin. The idea that
there is any concerted movement
among the powers to force mediation
upon the belligerents is rejected. The
United States is. mentioned as the
only power which might possibly I'M
dertake such a delicate role, but Presi-
dent Roosevelt's attitude against TAX
ing any action except at the request of
Russia is we'll known. The suggestion
comes from Paris, however, that Presi.
dent Roosevelt might be induced to
act upon the initiative of Foreign Min.
lister Delcasse. France, while strongly
urging Russia to make peace, is in no
position to initiate direct action.
Attempts during the afternoon tc
secure confirmation in court circles OF
the report that the emperor had de-
cided to summon zemsky sober met
with the positive assertion that a def.
mite decision had not been reached.
