This magnificent river, "The Achil-

romantic history. Down its foaming
torrents and over its wide, blue lakes,
passed the pirogues and batteaux of
the fur companies. 1t was then the

age of immigration, with its heroism,

striving, its advancement of the Stars

ideals that they symbolic to the
shores OF the Pacific, is indissolubly
associated with the barges and flat

the Promised Land of the Willamette
valley. The river was still the great

ty for the action of the grand jury by Judge
kfmball yesterday The charges upon
which he was held was the theft of a dia-
mond pin from A. L. Singar, who conducts
tailoring establishment at 18th annd E

sent copy of. the photograph of young
man. who was arrested in that city in

ELECTION FRAUD CASES.
Minority Report Filed Condemning the
Bonynge Bill.

A minority report condemning the Bo-
nynge bill recently reported from the House
committee on election OF President, Vice
President and representatives in Congress,
and giving the federal courts jurisdiction
in election fraud cases has been filed in the
House. being signed by Representatives
Rucker of Missouri, Hardwick of Georgia,
EIlerbe OF South Carolina, Watkins OF
Louisiana and Gillespie of Texas.
The report includes a constitutional ar
gument to show that the Constitution only
gave the federal authorities jurisdiction
over elections as a final safeguard to the
Union; that tbs ere is no extraordinary con-
dition at present which calls for the exer-
else OF this power and that the Dill there
fore ought not to pass.
mo laws the report says, put upon the
federal statute books are more calculated
to create serious friction between federal
and state jurisdictions and stir up strife
among our people, and more calculated to
engender hatred of the federal government
than federal election laws, such as Were
upon the statute books and repealed by act
OF February s, 1894 an act that has had
largely to do with the restoration of good
fellowship between different sections of the
Union that now exists.
The election disorders in Colorado, given,
the report says, as the reason for its intro
duction by Mr.. Bonynge, are regarded as
''f1imsy excuses" and furnish no justifica-
ton whatever for the proposed action.

who gave up their lives for the Union, that
"Old Glory might float In still greater glory

SWAPPING THE BILLS.
One of the Curious Customs OF
Changers of Money.


A clerk in a cigar store on Pennsylvania
avenue was handed a $50 note in exchange
for purchase of mans chief solace. Going
to the cash register he returned with a
handful of small bills. These he counted
out one by one, swapping and stripping each
bill through hts fingers with q care and
vigor as though his life depended upon an
endurance test OF each of the oblong pieces
Of stamped paper. One Of the notes was
somewhat worn by age and usage. and
when his fingers gripped 1t. 1t yielded and
the torn bill on the little pile of money. and
showed 1t toward the purchaser with the
customary stereotyped thank you"
The purchaser with equal promptitude
separated the torn pieces from the pile.
tossed them back to the clerk. saying short
iy mend 1t yourself"
"Of the many curious habits that peo-
remarked the customer as he was leaving
the store. Il think the habit some cashiers
and clerks indulge In of swapping and pull
ing bills in making change is the most ag-
gravating. And do you know that not one
bank teller in hundred will do It? A bank
teller will reach In his money drawer. ex-
tract handful Of money, hand you from a
dozen to ten times that number Of separ-
ate bills. and 1t Isl the exception where he
snaps single one OF them, unless 1t il the
very last bill he viii drop on the pile. But
the average cashier will snap bills like
flags in a windstorm. usually going through
the performance twice, apparently reluctant
to let them leave his hands. and SEEMINGLY
to take q dendish delight In hearing the
money cracl<ie, with q corresponding out
burst when he or she tears bill in two.
It is very odd"

HEARING rs CLOSED
SCHOOL COMMITTEES PREPARING
REPORT IN MISS DALY,s CASE.

Investigation OF the charges preferred by
parents of pupils of the Mckinley Manual
Training School against Miss Ida III. Daily
which was conducted by the Industrial COM
mittee Of the board of education and the
superintendent of schools. was concluded
last evening at the Franklin building.
In addition to Miss DAILY and the MEM
bers Of the committee Mrs Frances, Mrs.
West. DR.. Kingsman and Mr.. Stuart, there
were present at the hearing, as witnesses.
Capt. Boardman and Detectives Peck and
Warren. These latter are said to have pre-
sented corroborative testimony for the
teacher.
1t is understood that while the taking OF
will not be ready for submission by the
committee to the board at its next meeting
Wednesday. May g. Copies OF the evidence
will be given to Miss DAILY and others Mon-
day. and 1t is understood that in respect to
one case at least. regarding which there
seems to be doubt as to whether the pupil
or teacher Is making the charges. a state
ment from each side has been requested by
the committee to be submitted by the fol-
lowing Saturday.
The case in question Is that in which
Miss DAILY was required by the holding up
of her check to make report, the ground
for such action being understood to be that
a teacher has no right to pursue an hives
tigation or inquiry into school condition
without first laying the case before the
principal of the building.
The charges against Miss DAILY, as pub
lished in The Star of May 6, were pre-
ferred by Mrs. Ernst, a parent, and Noble
d. Larner, pupil, to the effect that Miss
DAILY had been discourteous. In the first
case Miss DAILY is charged with having alb
ruptly left the Office of the principal, and
by so doing gave offense to Mrs. Ernst.
who had come before the principal to COM
plain of the treatment of her son. Mrs.
Ernst is understood to have threatened
the teacher that she would carry the case
before a member of the board. This. 1t is
alleged was done in the presence of the
principal. the director, the clerks and the
boy himself, and the teacher left the
office.
The second charge Is said to be one of
discourtesy also in that the teacher main
tanned to parent that boy. in her opin-
ion, had cheated. A paper by pupil in
an examination given by Miss Daily was
thrown out on the charge of Mr.. Kluepfel,
the teacher In charge, that the boy in ques-
ton had referred to a text, and upon COM
plant by the pupil he was permitted to
drop the study. The question involves the
right of the student to be graduated.
The third case involves the integrity OF
student, and it is still an open question
whether charges have or have not been
preferred.
1t is anticipated that final action will be
taken by the board at Its meeting Weones-
day, May 80.

THE REAL FEELING IN RUSSIA.
Demand for Constitutional Liberty
Not for Red Flags and Blood.

II note with interest that my views anent
the true situation in Russia and the atti-
tude of some political agitators who had
escaped from her boundaries, quoted over
a month ago in The Star. when the coun-
try was in tumultuous state" remarked q
Washington gentleman. who spent two
years in the cars domains, and who has
but recently returned therefrom, have
been verified by the attitude of the people
and the sentiment following the opening Of
the douma.
Il then warned the American public
against accepting as accurate the state
ments of political agitators of the Gorky
type except with the greatest allowances
Since then Mr.. Gorkys attitude and views
have become a matter of local history ana
have still further substantiated my re-
marks. My presence in Russia was that or
Washingtonian there on a special business
mission and have no predisposition In IA
vor of the country nor prejudice against
it. l gave brief resume of the situation
as 1 found it.
And so 1t has proved: the people were
hungry for constitutional liberty as ex-
pressed through their mouth-pieces by
themselves elected to representative as
sembly of the people. and not for red flags,
blood and the inexpressible horrors of revo-
luton accompanied by wholesale slaugh-
ter of the nobility My business brought me
in close touch with both of the two ex-
tremes of a heterogeneous population-the
governing class ana the governed Inc re
fusal of the autocracy to recognize the right
of personal liberty, the exercise of domicil-
larry search and imprisonment without trial
were the irons that burned the deepest into
the soul Of the people. The most liberal OF
advanced thinkers-not of the Gorky type
but that represented by Prof. Mouromtseff.
the president of the lower house of parlia-
ment, whom l had the honor Of meeting
felt that with a representative body the re-
forms demanded could be In time obtained
without the effusion of blood, and that the
wonderful and little understood abroad re-
sources of their great country would be de-
veloped
although the limited constitutional lib
erty the car has given his subjects may be
said to be few hours old the signs already
point to the fact that the constitutionalists
are substantially the masters of the situa-
ton. / found the upper classes delightful
companions and the great body of the peo-
pie quiet and reasonably contented In their
everyday pursuits. While up to almost the
very hour of the convocation of the as
sembly the cars sincerity was questioned.
1t is my opinion, with the attainment of the
much sought amnesty, the Russian people
very rich internal resources of the coun-
try.
"At any rate liberty-loving Americans
were never in sympathy with Gorkyisn.
and while my remarks given so long ago in
The Star may at the time have seemed out
of tune, the events of the past few days
have shown that they were after all pitch
ed In the right key. When American

that he was to signal the officers when to

When one of the witnesses for the defense
told of this tune as the signal, Assistant

through his hands.
