HENEY FINISHES.
Government is Heard and Defense
Presents Its Case.

Portland. June 29.-- District Attor-
ney Heney spoke for three hours in the
United States court yesterday. With
hardly change of muscle, Senator
Mitchell sat through this verbal lash
ing. Once, while holding whis-
pered consultation with Judge Bennett,
he shook his finger. His hand was
pointed towards Mr.. Heney. Whether
he was protesting at something that the
speaker was saying is not known, but
bis counsel shook his head, and the
senator settled back in his chair. Dur
ing the long years Of his public career
Senator Mitchell must have been the
storm-center of more than one stormy
verbal outburst. Perhaps during most
of these controversies he was 80 placed
that he could fight back by word of
mouth. Perhaps during his career as
lawyer, he has given clients before
the bar, just such another denuncia-
ton, as he received yesterday, but in
all OF his varied career he has never
been bound and gagged as he was DUR
Ing all the hours that he was forced to
listen to what Mr.. Heney was saving.
Ills dignity as senator was brushed
aside with single breath. Mr.. Henev
was pounding into the ears of the iury
the fact that it was John H. Mitchell
who was not above the law. and not
Senator Mitchell, who was on trial.
1t had been expected that Mr.. Henev
would finish his argument by noon
When the court convened he announced
that he would try to close at that time
but when the noon hour came he was
sui an hour away from the end.
It is believed that Judge Bennett
Will take up the entire day in his argu.
ment. Ex-senator Thurston will ha
heard after this, and Mr.. Henev will
close for the government, SO the indi-
cations are that the case will not 90 to
the jury until late Friday afternoon,
ana perhaps not until some time satur'

ATTACKS INDICTMENT.


Portland, July l.~-Still another dag
has passed ard the last word ia yet tt
b, spoken in behalf OF Senator Mitch
ell. 1t was fully expected that when
ex-senator Thurston began yesterday
morning that he would conclude his
argument in the afternoon, but he was
vet half an hour away from his con-
Guiding remarks, when Judge De Haven
adjourned the court until 10 O'Clock
this morning. This means that the
case will not 90 TO the jury before late
this evening, If then, for United States
District Attorney Heney must answer
the arguments made by both OF Senator
Mitchell's attorneys.
When the speaker laid aside his eu-
logistic tribute to the senator, when he
had given his audience glimpse of the
living room Of Senator Mitchell in
Washington, o room which he said con-
tanned bed and trunk; when he told
of the love, generation and honor in
which he held the defendant and turned
the foodgates of his oratory and legal
shrewdness upon the Indictment under
which Senator Mitchell is being tried,
then he became the lawyer and pleader.
Listening members of the bench and
bar who listened to this argument mar
yelled at the adroitness with which this
document was attacked. 1t was done
with such skill and 'cleverness, for each
count was taken up and riddled and
scoffed at--that now the government
must make answer.
The attack upon the indictment fol-
lowed the lines of the argument that
ex- Senator Thurston had made before
Judge De Haven. He stated that the
indictment held that Senator Mitchell
had received money from Kribs, and he
showed by the testimony Of both Kribs
and Tanner, that Kribs had never paid
money to the defendant. The speaker
held that before the government could
make this count in the indictment
stick, it must prove that Senator Mitch
ell had received his payment either in
gold, silver or currency. He cited that
she Supreme court had held that a
check was not mons and contended |
that when Tanner deposited the Kribs
checks, those checks we're purchased by |
The bank, was their property to burn OF
'ear up if they wished. The money
hat the senator received as his share
If the monthly receipts of the firms
business, no matter if that share con-
aimed part of the Kribs' payment,
Gould not be construed as having been
paid to Senator Mitchell by Kribs.

MUIINEERS SEIZE
RUSSIAN WARSHlP
Officers Are Slain and Grew Takes
Complete Possession.
Most Powerful Battleship of Navy IN
Harbor of Odessa in Hands OF
Men Who Threaten to Fire on the
City If Intertered With = Mob Is
Raging Ashore.

/ Odessa. June 20. - The red nag Of
revolution is hoisted at the masthead
of the Kniaz Potemkine, Russia's most
powerful battleship in the Black sea,
which now lies in the harbor in the
| hands of mutineers.
The captain and most of the officers
were murdered and thrown overheard
| in the open sea, and the ship is COM
pletely in the possession Of the crew
and few officers who have thrown in
their lot with the mutineers.
The guns OF the Kniaz Potemkine
are trained on the city, and in the
streets masses Of striking workfnen who
fed before the volleys of the troops are
now inhamed by the spectacle Of open
revolt on board an imperial warship
and are making bold front against
the military.
All day long firing has been Heard in
many quarters Of the city. A number
of barbados have been erected, and
tumult and disorder reign.
The main squadron of the Black sea
fleet, consisting of the battleships
George Pobiedonostsetz, George the
Victorious), Tri Sviatelia, Rostislav,
and Ekaterina II, with two cruisers,
are expected to arrive here tonight, and
a regular naval battle is in prospect.
TIE rioters are in q most defiant
mood, and are not inclined to surrender
without fighting.
Reports of the mutiny, which oc-
Cured while the battleship was at sea,
are difficult to obtain, as the mutineers
refuse to allow communication with
the shore, but it is ascertained that it
arose from the shooting of sailor who
was presenting on behalf of the crew
complaint against bad food.

Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, June 80.
The most disquieting feature of the
stragetic situation of the Russian ar
mics is the persistence of the reports
that Japanese cavalry and light infanr
try with field and machine guns are
working northward OF Kirin and west
OF the Grand Trade route toward b.
dune. The Japanese cavalry on the
west is under the command of Generals
lamara and Akiama. General Linie-
Witch is not attempting seriously to
oppose the Japanese advance along the
front, but ia drawing in his outpost
lines upon pressure.

Revolt of Navy.
st. Petersburg, July 1.-The Russian
government, although it has been al.
most paralyzed by the terrible events
at Odessa and the news that the sailors
at Libau have also mutinied, is making
desperate and even frantic efforts to
stamp out the flames of revolution be-
fore they can spread to the army, which
Ia now the last bulwark of the autoc-
racy.
With Poland red with the spirit OF
revolt, the Caucasus already almost in
state of civil war, agrarian disorders
spreading rapidly, the whole country
profoundly stirred and the intelligent
classes arrayed against the government,
all conditions seem ripe for the long
predicted revolution.
The first act OF the government after
dispatching Admiral Kruger's squadron
from Sebastopol was to summon the
Kniaz Potemkine, whose mutineers
have now been joined by the crews of
the torpedo boats which accompanied
1t to Odessa, to surrender, under the
threat of firing upon and sinking the
vessel. This was followed by the dec
laration of martial law at Odessa and
Libau and the clothing OF the military
commanders with plenary powers.
The newly formed council for imper-
ial defense met last night under the
presidency of Grand Duke Nicholas,
and was in session long after midnight.
Beyond the fact that the temper OF
the army was considered at length,
nothing Is known as to what occurred
in the council or regarding the decis-
ions at which it arrived.
Great fear is expressed that MANY
regiments are honeycombed with sed
ton, and there Is grave doubt of their
loyalty should they be called upon to
fire on the revolutionists. Indeed the
most startling stories involving the un-
reliability OF the troops are being re-
peated in st. Petersburg, but the truth
Of many of them is more than cues |
tionable.

A PATHETIC PLEA.


Portland, June 80. = Another da,
will send to the jury the case of Sena
tor Mitchell, who has been on trial be.
fore Judge De Haven in the United
States court. Yesterday morning when
court was convened Judge Bennett be.
gan his argument in behalf of the de-
Tense, plea that was attractive in SEN
timent, impressive in delievry, and
undoubtedly one of the greatest efforts
ever attempted by this well known
lawyer.
For more than three and a halt hours
Judge Bennett held the closest atten-
tion of all within hearing. When be
closed at 8 :35 blur of tears dimmed
the eyes of the senator and many of his
closest friends were much affected
The attorneys theme throughout was
that Senator Mitchell was not guilty
OF any wrongdoing, and that the de-
fendant was the victim of a plot en-
gineered by some unnamed persons be-
hind the prosecution. 1t was a plot
brought to a culmination by United
States District Attorney Heney, whose
chief aim in the prosecution, according
to Mr.. Bennett, was the glory of having
convicted q United States senator
Skilfully counsel for the defense turned
the construction that the prosecution
had placed upon the letters between
Senator Mitchell and his former law
partner, Judge Tanner He pictured
Tanner as rat in trap, who, when
once caught, was willing tool in the
hands OF Mr.. Heney in order to save
his own son from prosecution.

| Over the Empire.
IN Chicago, ILL.,, June 80. - Cablinl
from St. Petersburg, the Chicago Dali
News correspondent says:
| Nicholas has been decided In fsvol
OF peace In the Far East on account o
the revolution in Poland. 1t has beer
arranged with the kaiser that In cas-
of revolt In Poland, German troops viii
occupy Warsaw, and that thus the czar
might continue to dispatch the Russian
garrisions In Poland to the front.
The Poles, learning Of this arrange
ment. made preparations to declare
their independence, with the support
OF the Prussian Polish provinces OF
Posen and Silesia. This has paralyzed
to certain extent the kaiser's Moroc-
co scheme and compelled the czar
promptly to consent to President koose-
velt's proposals for peace. Count Po-
tocki, the head Of the famous Polish
house OF that name, said to your ccrre-
spondent today:
"Unless immediate measures are
taken, Russia will shrink to its former
dimensions, in Peter the Greats time.
The Nationalist, Socialists, Jews and
Kuthenians OF Poland demand aatono-
my. They refuse to delay. The mo
ment Is favorable to their wishes. The
Hapsburg monarchy is falling asunder.
Hungary is ON the point OF separating
from the dual empire. Herr Schnorer,
the Austrian-Ge spokemsan, bold
ly proclaims in the reichstag the allie
glance Of his party to the German en-
peror.
"0nly the Slavs, Poles and Bohemians
are tupholding the shattered empire OF
the Hapsburgs. The emperor's death
will be the signal for the country's en-
slavement by Germany. Should the
car perseyere in his despotism, 3d.
600, 900 cultivated Western Slavs, in
Poland and Bohemia, will found state
to resist the yoke OF the car and
kaiser.'
Russia has lost faith in the cars
promises and is disguised with the du-
plicity of the bureaucracy Every
where the people are rising. Blood
lowed freely yesterday in the streets of
Warsaw, Lodz, Kiev, Riga, Odessa,
