American Missionary.
Washington, Jan. IL. - Information
has reached the State department that,
complying with the insistent demands
Of the United States, the Persian gov
ernment has made TO the widow partial
reparation for the murder OF the Rev.
Benjamin w. Labarrec, an American
missionary, by gang Of fanatics, and
has promised that all the guilty per-
sons involved In the crime will be pun
ished. The following statement re-
garding the case was made by an OFF,
cial Of the State department;
"March 10Th last the Department Of
State received the telegraph intelli-
gence OF the murder Of Rev. b. W. La
barree, an American missionary, near
ouroma, in Persia, by q gang Of fanatic
Kurds.
"a demand was Immediately made
for the arrest and trial OF the murder
ers, whose leader, seyd Mir Ghafar,
was looked upon as lineal descendent
OF the prophet. This circumstance
and the fear Of arousing religious dis
turbances evidently interfered with the
prompt and efficient action on the part
Of the local authorities. The most
pressing and earnest representations Of

Mr.. Ray instructed its minister by
cable TO make known TO the govern
ment Of the shah the presidents con.
cern in the adequate punishment Of all
the criminals and his intention TO lay
the matter before congress with appro.
pirate recommendations, with his de-
mands for full justice, were further de-
layed.
1.-THE murders were thereupon ar.
rested, but the Persian government,
holding the life Of descendant Of the
prophet sacred, offered pecuniary in.
demnity in lieu of the death penalty
for seyd Mir Ghafar, and promised ex'
ecution Of the accomplices. After con.
sultation with the widow OF Rev. Mr.
Iabarree, the offer was accepted and an
indemnity OF $40, ,000--greatly in excess
OF the sum named by the widow was
paid to the American legation June 8
Solemn assurance was given that the
guilty would receive effective and swift
punishment and that no special tar
would be leived on Christians in tht
province to recover the amount Of the
indemnity"

paper kites bearing letters and trium-

The army received the announcement
doggedly, regret being expressed that
the troops had been unable to relieve
the garrison, but confidence is felt that
ultimately the Russians will be able to
push back the Japanese.

Washington, Jan. 1l.-By direction
of the president, Secretary Hitchcock
has suspended Register j. T. Bridges

MORE CONTROL OVER ROADS
Purpose Of Law Proposed by vari-
County Courts of State.

Oregon City-"The Clackamas coun-
ty court, through the legislative dele
cation from this county. win seek to
have enacted at the present session of
the legislature laws that will prove of
material aid to the various county
courts Of the state in the building and
repairing of roads, remarked County
Judge Ryan.
81 have great faith in the eminent
domain theory which is being indorsed
by the different counties of the state"
continued the Clackamas county Judge.
''The enacting Of such a law will give
to the county court of each county the
right to condemn property for the es-
tablishment of a new road, or the ap-
preparation of additional property for
the improvement of roads already es-
tablished, the rights conferred being
identical to those already enjoyed by
railroad corporations. 1t is also the
purpose of the Clackamas county court
to have passed law regulating the use
to which all roads shall be placed in
the matter of heavy Itrafic, and still
another measure that will place some
restrictions as to the use of automobiles
ON the public highways.

MAY BE ABANDONED.
New Mexico and Arizona Likely to be
Left Out of Statehood Bill.

Washington, Jan. IL. -- The joint
statehood bin will continue TO be the
principal topic of discussion in the sem
ate during the present week, but other
measures will receive attention each
day during the morning hour, includ-
ing the omnibus bill, for which Senator
Warren stands sponsor. The bill COM
prises more than 200 pages, but the
senator already has succeeded in hav-
ing it read by utilizing odd hours, and
this has put large and important part
OF the work of consideration to the
rear.
An effort will be made to get through
the bill providing for the compensation
OF American fishermen whose vessels
were seized previous TO the arbitration
of 1893. This measure is in the hands
OF Senator Fulton, who will press it as
an act of justice to men who have been
Disseminated against.
The pure food bill will remain in
the background for the present, not be-
cause the friends Of that measure have
abandoned it, but because they consider
that its chances will be improved by
not pressing for immediate considera-
tion. They have been assured by the
Republican leaders that the bill shall
have first place on the calendar aside
from appropriation bills, after the
statehood bin is disposed of and there
fore they will not antagonize the state
hood bill for the present If at all.
The only real fight is against the
uniting of Arizona and New Mexico,
and there is talk of eliminating these
territories entirely from the statehood
proposal. 1t is believed if this were
done the bill for the consolidation of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory would
pass. Thus far there has been no con-
ference of opposing factions on the sub
iect and probably little will be done to
change the present status SO long as
the leaders are anxious to keep other
matters in the background, as appears
to be the case at present.
