Made no Statement.

When interviewed at the penitentiary
this morning by a representative of
the Evening Statesman Governor
Mead said: Il arrived mere this morn
ing from Portland and as yet have
not found time to take up the ques-
tion relative to the employees impli-
Gated in the alleged illegal registra-
ton. This morning 1 put in most of
my time in looking over the prison
and inspecting the several depart
ments. The guard question has not
yet been taken up and possibly will
not be considered until tomorrow
morning. 1 will remain at the prison
until tomorrow night and before I
leave the city 1 will make statement
to the press. Until that 1 have moth
ing to say relative to the subject"
Much Speculation.
There is considerable speculation as
to the result of the governors visit
at the prison and the investigation
that he will conduct there. The
friends of the guards are venturing
the opinion that the matter will be
settled in a satisfactory manner to
all concerned and that when the gov
ernor mas made a complete investiga-
tion he will recede from the position
taken wnen he received the tram
script of the court proceedings.
On the other hand it is asserted by
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-08-29

and say that their country will be
wild with indignation. Responding to
congratulations upon the conclusion
of peace with such good terms, Pok-
otiloff, the Russian minister to China,
who is here, says:
1T was a stroke of genius. Only
one man in the world could have done
it-Witte''
1t is announced that Russia is to
pay reasonable sum for the main
tenance of $4,000 prisoners, and the
amount is yet to be decided. 1t is ex-
pected to be about s75,O0O,OOO.
The discussion that followed Rus
sias. acceptance took up the ques-
tions of Sagnalin, the limitation of
Russias naval strength in the far
east and Russias interned SHIPS, and
an agreement speedily followed upon
each one. 1t is believed that Japan
withdrew two other features of her
original demands The exact status
of Saghalin is not learned, but it is
presumed that Japan is allowed to re-
tain possession of at least half, if not
the whole of it. This question and
that relating to the Chinese Eastern
railway will undoubtedly be taken up
and considered during the elabora-
ton of the treaty which is announced
to begin Immediately.

ference said:

tions of the peace conference. l told

Politicians Get Busy.

Several of the local politicians call
ed at the prison during the day and
paid their respects to the governor,
but so far as can be ascertained the
dismissal of the employees was not
touched upon. The politicians were
quite active about the city, however,
and it was limited this afternoon that
an effort would be made to secure a
private interview with the governor
so that the matter could be fully dis
cussed with him.
1t was also stated today that a
number of the persons who were in
terested in bringing about the ar
rest of the employees for the part they
took in the attempted registration
would seek an inerview with the gov
ernor before he leaves Walla Walla
1t is claimed that they have some ad-
ditional facts that they are desirous
of presenting to the governor rela-
tive to the subject. 1t is ssaid these
facts were developed since the ar
rest and trial of the employees and that
they are anxious that the governor
should be in possession of the same.
