At a recent meeting of the Protestant
ministers of Portland and vicinity, the
divorce and re-marriage question was
discussed, and resolutions were adopted,
which were understood to be not binding
on the clergymen present, but as advisory
and embodying the personal opinions OF
the majority of those present. One OF
these was ITO refuse to re-marry any
divorced person if it be known that tine
divorce was granted solely upon defaul,
or with only formal hearing to cover
the law" 1t is to be feared that if the
letter and spirit of that resolution were
lived up TO, there would be very little
re-marriage of divorced persons.

Under the Morey law passed by the

adopted the amendment to the ballot
law which provides for swing doors for
the voting booths, and Lewiston on
Thursday followed suit by vote of 675

are to have a nominally secret ballot, to
make it really secret ballot. Under
present conditions, in most towns, it is
decidedly uncertain as to its secrecy.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 6:-Late this
afternoon it was evident that the gov

crushing the organization of the strike
leaders here. The central committee Of
the social democrats was captured and
placed in prison in the early hours. The
greatest confusion prevails in the revo-
lutiOnary camp. ,.
The hope Of the revolutionsts is now
centered in Moscow and in the stopping

No trains left Moscow this morning

the lead in the strike of last November.
The employees of the electric plant
there also failed to appear for duty
today.
Wednesday is now the day on which
the leaders say the railroad strike will
begin. The employees Of several OF the
street railroad lines who struck Satur-
day have resumed work. - -.
The prefect of police of Kronstadt,
mander. of the fortress, has notified
the striking longshoremen here that
unless they return to work tomorrow
they will be expelled from the island.
The authorities are using .!all the
means at their disposal to block the
revolutionary moves in every direction
and appear convinced that the strike
leaders cannot gather sufficient headway
to endanger the life of the state. In
deed they believe that nothing more
than local strikes, which will soon de-
generate into the old story, of crime
and terrorism, will result.

pointed out that Mrs. Hartie had left
her husband, the libellant. while he was
sick In bed, and then launched into his
main argument to break down the testi-
mony Of servants and other witnesses
called by the defense.
Concerning the letters which the de-
tense alleged are forgeries, Mr.. Rogers
said the style and manner, Of the mis-
slves afford strong proof Of their genu-
ineness. From beginning to end, he
said, thoughts were expressed as they
would flow.
Mr.. Rogers referred to Coachman

"The letters show that the writer

clared were all written by the same

MILLIONS ADDED
TO MINE VALUES
Appraisement of st. Louis County
Mining Properties, Agreed
To, Is $60,000,oo0.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 6.-Sixty mil
lions of dollars will be the valuation
of the mining properties of St. Louis
county on the tax rolls for 1906. The
valuation upon which they paid taxes
for, the past two years was $3S,000,O0O.
This means that an increase of nearly
SO per cent will be made.
The valuations are made every two
years, and for years it has been the GUS
tom for the heads of the different min
ing interests to meet together and sub
nit to the county board of equalization
the relative valuations of the different
mines. This plan has been Of great ad-
vantage to the country, for it would be
almost impossible to fix fairly the rela-
tive valuations in any other way than
by agreement among the men who real
ly know what the mines are. With the
relative valuations fixed it has been an
easy matter for the board to fix the
valuations by making horizontal raise
when it deemed them too low. -
A few days ago Frank b. Kellogg,
general counsel for the United. States
Steel corporation, acting in the interest
Governor Johnson and asked whether he
and the other state officials, who are
members of the state board of equal.
! ization, would agree upon a basis OF
valuation Of the real estate Of the min
! ing companies to be made by the coun-
! ty board of equalization and allow it
to stand when it came before the state
board. r...
Governor Johnson at first refused,
saying that he could not answer for the
state board or bind it to any action.
After comforting with Mr.. Kellogg for
some time, however, Governor johnson
finally agreed that if the mining com
panies would accept a figure Of $780,
100000, to be made BY, the county y
board, he would recommend to the state
board that it be allowed to rest with.
out change. Mr.. Kellogg accepted the
figure named by Governor Johnson, al
tho it was somewhat higher than he
had first advanced.
There is little doubt that the county
board will be satisfied with the amount
agreed upon. A raise Of So per cent
will be larger than any that has been
made in recent years, and it will be g
substantial increase in the amount OF
county, state and school funds realized
from the taxation of the mines.

The Duluth case was heard in the

it had been destroyed by fire. The
Minneapolis case was the first one in
