Case Against Senator Mitchell
Commences Next Week.
A MOST IMPORTANT CASE
Not Thought that the Case Will Last
Longer than Four Days-Witnesses
are Being SubpOened and Trial Prom
ises to be Bitterly Contested.

Portland, June l5.--With the. ground
cleared for action In the land fraud trials
the effect OF the speedy disposal Of the
demurrer to the indictment pleaded by
the cousel for Senator Mitchell, the big
guns in the battle will boom next week,
and. as announced In court, the trials OF
the most prominent defendants, sena'
tor Mitchell and Congressman Herman.
and Williamson, will come first. All
objections that could be urged, now that
the date for trial has been set, have
been swept away and the battle will be
on early next week,
Subpocnas for witnesses are being
made ready, and apparently no stone
will be left unturncd by the prosecu-
tion to secure convictions on the In
dictments brought by the grand jury
Just as stubbornly will the case be
fought from the other side, and, with
two remarkably able lawcrs to fight foi
him, Senator Mitchell will be able tC
give the agents for the government
good fight.
The trial Of Senator Mitchell, the first
ON the docket, will not, in all probabil
ity last long, but it will be spirited anc
hard fought. 1t is believed that tn
submitting of testimony by the prose
cution need not last more than three Of
four days, so that the case may go u
the Jury the last of next week. Possibly
the defense will spring some surprises
however, and may prolong the argu
ments more than is now anticipated
Anyway, Senator MitchelPs fate in re
card to the Kribs indictment-and TIM
Is one of the strongest cases the govern
meut has made against the distinguish
ed defendant, the Others being sllhila
IN their charges-will be decided in a
probability before the present mont
ends.

New York, June l5.-For the first

my connection with the society ended.
"Mr. Ryan's purchase OF the Hyde
stock relieved the situation and will
still further relieve it if he gives the
names of all the policy holders who
ioined him in that action. There is no
mystery about it. As matter OF fact,
the mystery which has surrounded this
whole subject in the past has resulted
in inferences beyond the real facts. A
policy of frank publicity should be pur-
sued"

LARGE JAPANESE ORDERS
Orders Sufficient on Hand TO Keep all
the Mills Running on Full Time for
Many Months With Prospects for .
Large Increase in Foreign Orders.

Cleveland, June l5.-The Iron trade
Review this week says;
The most important transactions of
rather quiet week were in rails, the
principal orders being; Erie $4,000 tons;
Big Four 5000; Chicago L Alton,5,OOO;
Illinois Central, 10000; Buffalo, Roches-
ter and Pittsburg, 5000; volley road,
Cleveland Traction Company, 5000. The
Dominion Iron L Steel Company at Sid
ney, Nova Scotia, has obtained an or
der for 25,OOO tons of rails from the In
ter. Colonial Railway Company, in COM
petition with the mills of the United
States, Germany and Great Britain,
The Pressed Steel Car Company has
received an order from the Japanese gov
ernment for 900 box cars, which, close
ly following an order for 1000 cars
awarded to the American Car 4 Foundry
Company, gives some indications OF the
demand for American products which
may be expected as soon as peace is GER
tain.
The demand for merchant pipe shows
still further improvement and the low
prices of few weeks ago do not pre-
vail. None of the furnaces or steel
works supplying the mills producing
heavier forms of material have been shut
down nor will they be closed, even for
the regular summer repairs, on account
of the tremendous tonnage now being
carried on all the steel manufacturers
books.

A number OF prominent .hs.snss min

be involved before the grand jury, wssich
convened last Tuesday completes its
work. While the present investigation
being carried on by the district attor'
ney has already stirred the people ana

are practically only small fry. It Is
generally predicted that the states at

and that the grand jury will seek to get
at the bottom of the alleged 100000

the granting OF the street car franchises
to the Milwaukee Railway and Electric

AZ possible under the circumstances
'This pressure Is being excrted princi'
pally by European governments. Pres
ident Roosevelt II ia ntimated in an I'm
portant quarter, also has advised the
Japanese government that modification
in her demand for cash indemnity moi
only would facilitate the negotiations OF
peace terms which would be regarded by
the powers with particular favor.
The payment by Russia of any such
cash indemnity as 81, 900, 100000 not only
would embarass seriously the st. Peters
burg government, but probably woulC
disturb the finances OF the entire western
world. Indeed it has been suggested that
such q payment, TO all intents and pur
