because OF the unexampled size of the

MITCHELL is NOT
HURRYING APPEAL
Decision May Be Delayed Until Near
End of Senator's Term.
As Defendant Is Senator In Name
Only Pending Final Decision OF
His Case This Would Deprive
Oregon of Representative in Upper
House for Another Year.

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Johr
Fl. Mitchell evidently intends to hole
on to his seat in the senate just as Ions
as he can, even though he is unable tx
occupy that seat or perform any OF tbs
active duties of a senator. This js evi,
denced by the fact that he will not
seek to have his case brought TO early
trial before the United States Supreme
court, but will allow it to be taken up
in the regular ORDER which probably
means that it cannot be argued and
disposed OF at the coming term of court,
beginning in October and ending early
next May.
1t is within Senator Mitchel's pro-
vince, if he SO elects, to ask that his
case be advanced on the docket, in
which event it might be argued as
early as January. Such motion. was
made in the case of Senator Burton, of
Kansas, and comparatively prompt ac-
ton was taken on his appeal. But
Mitchell does not want quick action;
he is willing to wait, and, as previ-
ously stated, it is the belief of the
Supreme court officials that to wait
means to postpone the decision until
the winter of 1867, which is near the
close of MitchelPs term.
1t is, of course, possible that the gov
eminent may ask for the advancement
of Mitchell's case, and the Supreme
court may recognize such a request
from the attorney general, in which
event there would be action this COM
ing winter. 1t is impossible to ascer-
tain whether it is the desire of the gov
eminent to have the case advanced, as
the attorney general is out of the city,
and no one else is authorized to speak
on this matter. 1t is possible that
President Roosevelt may, through the
attorney general, suggest the advisable
ity of having early action, in which
event the Supreme court is very apt to
set an early day for argument.

BACKBONE is STIFF.
Gar Says He Has Yielded All he
viii Yield.


st. Petersburg, Aug. 26.--With re-
gard to dispatch that has been re-
ceived here saying Mr.. Witte was
awaiting instructions, the Foreign
Office says it Ia daily in constant COM
munication with Mr.. Witte, and that
he will be fully able to go ahead on
Saturday. The latest developments
clearly indicate that the Associated
Press dispatches sent declaring that
Russia will never consent to the pay
ment of an indemnity in any form rep
resents Russia's last word with refer
ence to the principle of monetary COM
pensation and the expenses OF the war.
The authoritative statement made to
the Associated Press at Portsmouth,
which is in the same tenor, was met
last evening by declaration from the
official spokesman of the Foreign Office,
which was made almost with the force
of formal communication, that under
no circumstances and under no disguis-
es would the principle OF indemnity be
admitted and this decision is accepted
by the Russian public as final. 1t was
declared at the Foreign Office also that
Russia sincere desire for peace was
in the spirit of concession
shown by the Russian mission on the
other disputed points, and that, If
Japan was willing to waive this de-
mand, which was consistent with
neither the honor nor the dignity of
Russia, there would be no trouble in
peace, Japan's insistence on
indemnity being the only barrier to the
termination of the war.
