MORE INDICTMENTS
SENSATIONS CONTINUE TO Be EX-
POSED BY The OREGON JURY.
U. S. District Attorney Heney Is Sat
isfed More Men Of Prominence Are
Connected With Extensive Land
Frauds-Jury to Be Discharged This
Week-Sen. Mitchells Trial First.

Portland. Ore, Feb. More SEN
sational indictments of men Of nation
al prominence will be returned this
week, it is expected, by the grand jury
in connection with the land frauds
investigations. These indictments will
be made il is said. as the outcome Of
the jury's investigations into the scrip
issues for lands included in the Blue
mountain forest reserve, in eastern
Oregon, and for lands situated in the
Cascade forest reserve near Prineville,
the sheep raising center Of central Ore
gon.
Other indictments are to be return
ed, it is believed, against several gov
eminent officials and ex-officials whom
United States District Attorney Fran
els j. Heney is satisfied he has evil
dence against sufficient to connect
with the extensive land frauds which
the government contends it has been
made the victim of.
Another Jury to Take Up Work.
This work will consume the present
week, but no longer. Next Saturday
the jury will make its final report and
be discharged for the term. In case
it is not able to finish its work the
succeeding grand jury, which will be
drafted at the spring term Of court,
will conclude the investigations.
The abrupt termination of the work
of the jury is due to the fact that
Mr. Heney's presence is required in
Washington city to argue a motion for
habeas corpus in the Hyde-Benson
case before the supreme court of the
United States February 90
Mr.. Heney will remain in Washing
ton week or 10 days and then return
directly to this city to commence the
preparation Of his cases for trial at
the session Of the United States dis
trict court which begins April 10.
In the lull which has occurred be-
tween the indictments made last week
and those promised this week. specula-
ton has centered upon the subject
of the trials, and especially as to which
will he the first TO take place. The
general opinion is that since Senator
John H. Mitchell is the prominent fig
ure in the Investigations so far as they
have gone. and as he has expressed a
desire for a speedy trial, his will be
the first
Mr.. Heney appears equally anxious
to have the senator's case disposed OF
at the earliest possible moment, and
this is taken further to strengthen the
belief that Oregon's senior senator will
be the first to face arraignment before
lJndge Bellinger next April.

INDIANS MAY SPEND CASH.
President Roosevelt Sees No Occasion
for Antischool Hubbub.

President Roosevelt has sent a let
ter to Secretary Hitchcock on the sub
iect of authority for granting contracts
for the education of Indians in demon
national schools.
The president says that inasmuch as
the legal authority exists to grant the
request of Indians unquestionably they
are entitled by moral right to have
their moneys used to educate their
children at the schools they choose
The president directs that the interior
department continue the practice un.
less congress directs otherwise or the
courts hold that the decision Of the de-
partment of justice to this effect is
wrong. The president also urges the
passage of the Lacey bill authorizing
the allotment of annuities in severalty
to the Indians in the same way as
their land is allotted.

ICE bound HARBOR
UPPER ATLANTIC COAST HAD AN
ARCTIC APPEARANCE.
Ice Floes Completely Filled the Har-
bor-5ig Liners Had Trouble in Get
ting Throueh-SeVersl Steamers
Have Narrow Escape--Delaware
River Full of Ice.

New York, Feb. 6.-Ice foes COM
pletely filled New York harbor Sun
day, completely rendering the passage
of vessels into and out of the port
slow and difficult. In the narrows the
ice pack was 50 dense that even the
powerful transatlantic liners had trou-
BILE in forcing a passage. One of the
serious results of the presence of vast
foes in the lower bay during the past
four days has been the breaking and
carrying away of great numbers of
spar and can buoys in the various
ship channels. Captains of coastwise
steamers and Sandy Hook pilots have
reported a number of narrow escapes
from grounding caused by the displace-
ment of buoys.
All the steamers of the sound fleet
have arrived safely, although several
hours late. Their captains reported
that heavy ice was encountered
throughout the sound, and that naviga-
ton was barely possible. On several
occasions the fleet of New York bound
steamers was compelled to unite and
attack the ice in wedge formation. Ow-
ing to a change in the wind the North
and East rivers were comparatively
clear of ice during the day, and the fer
ries were operated with little Interrupt
iton.
Narrow Escape of Crew Of 80.
Lewes. Del, Feb. 6.-Thirty men
narrowly escaped drowning Sunday in
the icy waters of the Harbor Of Ref
uge at the Delaware breakwater, and
after being rescued with the greatest
difficulty by the crews of two tugs
they were forced to make their way
to shore afoot over the heavy ice foes
with which the Delaware river and
bay is blocked The men whose lives
were imperiled we're Captain Jacobs
and his crew of 20 men Of the Phila-
delphia city iceboat No. 3, which made
it's way from Philadelphia in an effort
to make a channel for vessels ice
bound at the breakwater
The iceboat collided with the sunken
barge Santiago, the masts and buoys
of which had been carried away by the
ice jam. The iceboat had become
wedged in the mass of ice between the
Harbor of Refuge and the old break
water and was unable to proceed
While drifting in this manner the ice
boat struck the barge and a large hole
was stove in her hull Captain Jacobs
signals of distress were answered by
the tugs Teaser and Boxer. The tugs
experienced much difficulty in reach
ing the rapidly sinking iceboat. The
ice jam prevented the tugs from dock
ing and the crew of the iceboat, after
being taken off, stiff from exposure
and nearly exhausted. managed tc
complete a perilous afoot across the
ice fields to shore.
Navigation is almost at a standstil
on the Delaware because of the ice
which is tanning from the stream
from Trenton. N. j., to Breakwater
and extends nearly 10 miles out to sea
There is a large fleet of vessels of al
kinds at the breakwater unable tC
make any Roadway against the jam.

ENGINE BOILER BLOWS UP.
Throws Passenger Cars off of tn
Track.


Track.
Utica N. 1.-TWO trainmen lost
their lives and a score or more of pas
sengers were injured in a wreck on
the New York Central railroad at
Whitesboro. three miles west of here.
None of the injured was dangerously
hurt, their wounds being mainly cuts
and bruises.
The dead are: John Allen. engineer;
John Brennan. fireman Of the locomo-
tive on the Western Express.
As the train was passing the Buffalo
special eastbound the boiler of the To-
connective of the westbound train ex-
ploded. The force of the explosion
and the upheaval of the engine threw
the entire 10 cars composing the
special" from the rails. The west
bound train did not leave the track,
but stopped with a suddenness and
shock which threw the occupants of
the berths backward with great force.
The strangest feature of the acct
dent, as it appeared to an onlooker
was that the boiler of the westbound
locomotive was resting midway be
tween the rails of the eastbound track
at a point where the eastern train
had passed. This suggested the theory
to trainmen that the boiler had struck
the second car of the eastbound train
as it rushed by at the rate of so miles
an hour.

THE PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Battle OF Hun River Was a Fiercel,
Fought One.


Last week witnessed the close Of
what will probably be known as the
battle of the Hun river. The Russians
had shown activity all along the line.
but the most aggressive work was
done against the japanese left wing.
Oku's defenses were heavily lombard
ed for several days and there were con-
slant clashes between advanced bodies
of troops that we're attempting TO Sc
cure strong positions. The japanese
finally took the aggressive and the re-
suit has practically been a failure Of
Kuropatkin to gain a single advantage
by his winter movement.
The fighting has been fierce and I'M
der the worst conditions possible. A
low temperature and binding snow
storms have subjected both sides to
great suffering and such misery of war
has probably not been endured since
some of the Napoleonic campaigns.
Wounds of every sort have been agon-
izing and the impossibility of giving
quick relief in the freezing atmosphere
has resulted in large mortality.
Despite the adverse conditions, the
activity has continued in a desultory
way all through the week. The Rus
slams have been driven to the right
bank of the Hun, and while the Jap
anese may not feel like following up
any advantage they have gained, the
moral effect of this Kuropatkin fail
ure has been bad. 1t has shown that
the boosted Russian superiority in win
ter campaigning is as much a myth
as many other things have been shown
to be, and the news of the failure
comes to European Russia at the most
inopportune time.

REJANE DANCES cANcAN.
Actress Elevates Her Heels on Top OF
Dining Table.


Dining Table.
New YOrk.-Mme. Rejane, the noted
French actress, danced the cancan on
top of table at the Hyde 100000 ball
at Sherry's recently.
Statements differ as to how the cpl
sode came about, but all are agreed
upon one point, and that is that Rejane
did climb on top of the table and
dance a cancan which couldn't have
been beaten by any professional dan
Ger at the Moulin Rouge. In fact she
danced it with so much abandon and
grace that she successfully effaced all
recollection of Little Egypt" who
had until then had a record for this
sort of speciality at Sherrys.
To say the dance of Rejane created
a sensation is putting the facts quite
mildly, but as usually happens in i'm
promptu, spontaneous episodes of this
kind, the cancan did not make-nearly
as great a stir at the moment as it die
on the following day when the specta
tors had time to thing it all over in
cold blood.
Rejane. the French actress, is moi
greatly perturbed over the statement
that she danced the cancan on a table
At Hyde's costume ball. In an inter
view she denied the dancing, but sale
she can do the dance.

st. Petersburg, Feb. S.-The news
of the assassination of Soissalon Soini-
men. procurator general of Finland,
may be expected reproduce an immense
sensation when it becomes public, as
it VIII be regarded as the precursor of
an era of terrorism Of which the events
of January in st. Petersburg gave the
signal.
Until the indemnity of the assassin is
definitely known it will be impossible,
of course, to establish the motive of
the attempt; but the present circum-
stances in Finland render it almost Ger
tain that the crime is of the same ma
ture as the assassination of Count Bor-
ikotf, the governor general of Finland,
in June of last year. The Russifiation
of the province of Finland has been
meeting with great opposition and
creating much bitterness, especially
since the formation of the party Of ac-
tive resistance, which is recruiting
from the holder spirits of the original
party of passive resistance and to
which the perpetrator of this latest
crime probably belonged.
