GEARlN FOR BOURNE.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June IL
Senator John NJ Gearin, Democrat of
Oregon, has sent a message to the peo-
pie of his state, insisting upon the cleo
ton of Jonathan Bourne, Republican,
as United States senator to succeed him
He said:
l have already congratulated Mr.. Bourne

or plurality in the June election is entitled
to the votes of the members of the Legisla-

that they know what they want in policy
and official, and that we should uphold the
only means whereby they may most easily
and accurately register their wishes and
commands as to every function of govern
mental activity and every individual who
fills official position.
I advocated the direct election of federal
senators and supported the direct primary
nomination law. The Legislature of Ore
gon must, if 1t proves faithful to It's trust
honor the popular vote of the people with
the same celebrity with which presidential
electors hasten to record the wishes of the
people. The people Of the commonwealth
have expressed their wishes without equivo-
their will and do it's duty, and let it be de-
termined once for all that henceforth the
people of Oregon are to select their federal
senator's by direct vote.
The situation is most peculiar, as the
people have endorsed a Republican for
the Senate but the Legislature is Demo
cratic and can thus elect Democrat.

ODESSA, June 11.-Since the COM
mencement of the repatriation of the
troops which took part in the war with
Japan $4,000 men, including Russian
prisoners from Japan, have been landed
here and distributed throughout the in
terror of the country.
The most stringent precautions were
observed during the whole period in order
to prevent the slightest intercourse be-
tween the returning troops and the
townspeople in consequence of fears OF
mutinous demonstrations, as it was un-
deniable that the troops coming home
were largely disaffected.
Officers Worse Than Men.
The spirit of disaffection was even
more noticeable among the officers than
in the men. The former frankly ex-
pressed the opinion that if Parliament
can hold it's own until the spring it will
be able to count on the army to support
its demands.

commission will be supposed to follow

make it easy to reopen a discussion OF
all the disputed points. Therefore there
is little prospect that the bill will be

BIG DRYD0CK IN PERIL
OFFICERS OF DEWEY FLEET TELL
A NARROWING STORY.
Feats in Wireless Telegraphy and Coal
ing Results from Trip in Face
Of Great Odds.

| PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June IL
| The gunboat Tacoma and the seagoing
| tug Potomac, two vessels which assisted
| in towing the steel drydock Dewey in the
voyage to Manila, arrived at League
Island navy yard Sunday. Throughout
| the day the officers were busy recounting
| the perils Of the trip. Both vessels left
| the Dewey after the Suez canal had been
| traversed.
| Besides establishing something unique
| in towing, the government made re-
| markable discovery in wireless telegra-
ply. January p the Dewey and fotilla
| became lost to the government. For two
| weeks nothing had been heard of the
| Dewey. Admiral Evans, in command of
the fleet in the West Indies, received Or
ders from the secretary or the navy to
send out a warship.
| February 9 the cruiser Maryland,
equipped with a wireless instrument,
after search of several days, got in
eo co nm n with the Glacier, flagship
OF the fotilla, by way Of the wireless sta
ton at Cape Hatteras. Telegraphic com
munication by this method was kept up
with the United States for more than a
day, messages travelling from the Ola
cler to Cape Hatteras, through Mary
land, distance Of more than 1000 miles.
| The entire distance Travelled by the
| Tacoma and Potomac amounted to more
than $4,000 miles. The dock became so
unmanageable that the hotilla was com
PEELED to go several thousand miles out
of the course
The first three times the Dewey broke
loose in mid-Atlantic and the fourth
time, April 8, was adrift until noon the
following day. In the Mediterranean
the dock broke loose again but was
placed in tow after a few hours, the
Potomac always picking it up.
The latter part of January, the Off
GERS of the Potomac say, they came the
closest to death A heavy squat struck
the fleet. The Dewey was carried to-
wards the Potomac, which was in dan
ger of being sent to the bottom. Off
GERS and crew. in the face Of great dan
ger, displayed courage and saved the
tug from destruction by cutting the tow
line with an axe and steaming quickly
away.
Another interesting and new feature
of the trip was the coaling of the fotilla
from the cruiser Glacier. Huge rope
tenders weighing 1000 pounds were used
to prevent the vessels from humping to-
gether when coaling.

ROUNDUP OF WILD HORSES.

Range in State of Washington to
BE Cleared of Grass Consumers.
One Of the most exciting chases, If it
may be so called, that has taken place
since the era Of the grand buffalo hunt
ended on the great plateau, is the pro-
posed round up of $4,000 wild horses in
Douglas County, Washington. As sched-
uled, 400 cowboys will take part in the
ride after these wild creatures of the
range. The purpose is to rid the range
Of this great band Of grass consumers
and the effort, presumably, will be to
dispatch rather than capture the horses.
These untamed and practically I'M
tamable animals are the product of ma
ture left to itself on the great range for
thirty years. The stock is interbred
and, of course, underbred, and has no
place in the economy Of civilized life.
While it's determination will be a gain
to the legitimate stock breeding and
raising interests Of the section over
which the horses have so long roamed
at will, the instincts of humanity are
shocked at the cruelties that will be in
ficted through the means by which this
purpose is to be accomplished.
Perhaps this is the best that can be
done at this stage Of affairs to rid a
wide section of the country Of verita-
BILE pest to the stock industry. Like
many other scourges, the remedy for
this plague of wild horses lays in pre-
vention. The careless settlers Of thirty
years ago who allowed their ponies to
run uncared for on the range year after
wear were culpable in this matter. The
result has been multiplication of I'M
profitable animals that have eaten out
the grass on the range for years to the
detriment of the interests of a legiti-
mate stock industry. Now comes the
necessity Of repairing the consequences
of the settlers carelessness and a
roundup" looking to the determination
Of thousands Of these wild creatures.
with such cruelties as will be necessary
to accomplish that end. The chase will
be an exciting one, no doubt, and the
ultimate result will be beneficial.

IGNORING PEACE MEET
SOUTH AMERICANS ARE NOT ANX-
IoUS TO PARTICIPATE.
Panama Declines and Others Have Not
Even Acknowledged Receipt of
Roots Invitation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June IL
Many of the South and Central Ameri-
can republics are showing an indiffer-
ence toward the third peace conference
to be held at The Hague next year which
is annoying to the United States.
Secretary Root was instrumental in
bringing about delay of the conference
until next year that it might not conflict
with the Pan-American conference at
Rio Janeireo Jan. q, but Secretary
Roots interest in the South American
meeting does not seem to have spurred
the Southern republics to participation
in The Hague conference, in spite of the
protests they voiced when Russia sug-
gested that early this fall would be q
good time for the meeting.
Panama has declined from the first to
take any part. Venezuela, Ecuador and
Nicaragua have ignored all communica-
tons, not even acknowledging the receipt
of the original invitation. Bolivia
Guatemala, Salvador and Peru have ac-
cepted the Invitations while Brazil, Ar
gentina and Mexico are also known to
have expressed a desire to take part I'M
der the prescribed conditions.

SONS HELD FOR MURDER.
Farmers Boys Accused of Killing Him
for Money-Mother Is Willing That
They Should Suffer.

CRAIG, Neb., June 11.-Jacob L.
Headley, a farmer whose wealth is esti-
mated at 100000 has been found lying
dead in a creek not far from his home,
and his two sons, aged 10 and IA, are
held on a charge Of murder. 1t is al.
legged that the boys were in debt and
that one or both shot the father and
threw the body in the creek. A coro-
ner's jury ordered the two boys held for
the crime The eldest is held as the
principal and the younger as accessory
Both boys declare their innocence in a
listless. Indifferent manner.
Mrs. Headley believes in the guilt OF
her sons. She seems indisposed to exert
any effort or to spend much money In
trying to free them. When the mother
was asked if she would exhaust her re-
sources to free her sons she replied she
was afraid that if they killed their
father they might as readily kill her.
