FOUND GUILTY.
Jury at Portland, Ore, Convicts United
States Senator Mitchell of
Grave Charges.

Portland, Ore, July 5.-The jury in
the case of the United States against
United States Senator John H. Mitchell
returned verdict of guilty as charged
at II o'clock Monday night. The charge
was that Senator Mitchell, while occu-
plying his public position, accepted a
pecuniary compensation for practicing
before the federal departments at
Washington, which, under the federal
statutes constitutes a crime. 1t is ex-
pected that the other indictments
pending against Senator =. Mitchell,
charging conspiracy with Puter and
others to defraud the government of
it's lands will be dropped. What pen
atty will be imposed by Judge De
Haven can only be conjectured The
statute provides for both Imprisonment
for not more than two years and for
fine of not to exceed $4,000.

WILL RENTER CABINET.
Former Secretary Of War Root Selected
as Head Of State Depart
ment-He Accepts.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 8.-Oficial
announcement was made here Friday
that Elihu Root has been appointed
secretary of state. The announcement

dent Roosevelt in the following state
ment given out by Secretary Loeb:
"Elihu Root has accepted the tender
by the president of the secretaryship
of state. He will take the oath of
Office in a couple of weeks, but it will
necessarily be some little time before
he closes up his business affairs. He
will not go to Washington perma-
nently until some time in September"
President Roosevelt is much graft
fed at Mr.. Roots acceptance, and is
deeply sensible of the personal sacri-
fees made by Mr.. Root in again TAX
ing up the burdens and duties of a
member of the cabinet.

were repulsed. The Russians cap

ON RUSSIAN SOIL
CAPTURE ISLAND OF SAKHAL1N
HEARING OF ACTION ON
PEACE NEGOTIATINS.
Mutinous Crew of Kniaz Potemkin
Surrenders to Roumanian Officials
and Is Promised Chance to Find
Place Of Refuge.

| St. Petersburg, July 10.-A landing
of Japanese troops on the Island OF
Sak.halin vas officially reported Satur-
day night and startled military circles
| in St. Petersburg, though it has been re-
allied since the defeat of Admiral Ro-
| jostvensky that the japanese were able
| to take possession of the island as soon
| as they thought fit.
The Japanese feet covering the land
ing of troops on the island consisted Of
two battleships, seven cruisers, three
gunboats, Sc torpedo boats and ten
transports loaded with troops. The
Japanese landed at the village of
Meree, between Shepivan and Korsa-
kovsk. The commander of the Rus
sian division of troops at Korsa-
kovsk ordered the coast and defense
eminent buildings burned before re-
tirfng. The garrison of the island was
too weak to offer an effective defense.
Bearing on Peace Negotiations.
This move of the Japanese and its
probable effect on peace negotiations is
the absorbing topic of conversation in
all circles. Russians generally recog-
nize it as an indication that Japan in
tends to demand the cession of the
island as one of the conditions of
peace, but this is no longer an insuper-
able obstacle in the way of termination
of the war.
Opinion in st. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg, July -10.-With the
Japanese flag hoisted for the first time
on Russian soil after Is months of
war, the Importance of the landing on
the Island of Sakhalin is generally ad
mitted, both in newspaper comment
and in government circles. Complete
occupation of the island is regarded as
a foregone conclusion. There is dl-
vergency of opinion with regard to the
effect it will have upon the nego-
tiations at Washington, some of the IT.
reconciliables declaring that it makes
peace at the present juncture more I'M
possible than before, as Japan will be
able to demand the cession of the
island and heavy indemnity as we'll,
which terms of peace will be too costly
but the more prevalent view is that
Japan has now in her hands enough
triumphs to take the game.
