Numerous Conferences.

After numerous conferences today be-
tween prominent senators and Sergeant
alarms Ramsdcil the point was raised as
10 whether the senate would be war
ranted in following the usual programme
in the case of Senator Mitchell. IL was
argued that 1t the time OF his death he
stood convicted Of an offenSe under the
federal laws and in violation of his oath
as a senator of the United States. On the
other hand it was pointed out that the
senate has not been notified officially
of his conviction and that Judgment had
been arrested by an appeal to the SUI
preme court of the United States and that
the highest court had not passed upon
the question Of his guilt or Innocence.
At late hour today Vice President Fair
banks had not appointed the usual COM
nittee and tho impression prevailed that
he would postpone action until the SEN
ate convened on Monday. IL was stated
that in the event of the appointment of
a committee 1t would not reach Portland
Ore. il time TO attend the funeral SER
vices Il Is thought likely, therefore. that
the vice president Will leave TO the senate
be.
viii Give Usual Notice.
Senator Fulton, his colleague from Ore
son,. of course, will give notice Of the
death of Senator Mitchell when the SEN
ate meets on Monday, but il has not vet
been determined whether he will ask the
senate 10 adjourn as q tribute TO Sena~
tor Mitchell. There is no precedent for
the guidance OF the senate.
The late senator had many warm friends
IN the senate who remained loyal 20 him
throughout his trial. These senators
would like to give a testimonial of their
regard for him aud testify TO the value
OF his long services, but they will be
governed by future conferences.

Carried to Supreme Court.

The United States supreme court was
then petitioned for a writ Of error in
order that the case might so before
the highest tribunal. but this was de-
MED. On June 10 habeas corpus pro-
ceedines were instituted. Further le-
gal activity on the part of the con-
demned woman's attorneys resulted in
the case being carried before the SUI
preme court of the United States OF
appeal from the rulings Of the YER
mont court. On Nov. q last the Unit
ed States supreme court refused 20
stay the sentence of the Vermont court.
With the decision OF the highest
court in the land Mrs. Rogers last
hope for life vanished, as Governor
Bell announced that he would not in
terfere with the sentence Of the court.
