Deepening Columbia River.

Under the direction of Major II.
M. Chit tenden, corps of engineers of
the U. S. A., in charge of river and
harbor improvements in this state,
wOrhmen will be set to the task OF
Gle RIG the rocks of the Entiat and
.IethOT rapids in the upper columbia
rivo;. The plans for the work have
been completed in Major Chittendan' s
Office, says the Seattle Times.
The appropriation for the work
amounts to $4,000. Dynamite will
be used in blowing up the rocks that
now impede steamer travel N the
upper Columbia river.
That part of the great waterway
above the city of Wenatchea will be
the first to feel the benefits Of the
work which will be done under the
direction of Major Chitenden.
The army engineer lately adver-
tised for bids rOtchtarnccmfwy
tisd for bids for the contract to
dradge a section of the Pend d'Oreille
river near Spokane, but though the
work amounted, according to the esti-
mate, to about 100000, no tenders
We're received. Major Chittenden be-
lieves that this was due to the fact
that the river is far above the ordi-
nary high water stage, which would
impede the work of the contractors
and make it more or less hazardous.
For this reason the government will
not carry on the work this fall

ALAS. THE POOR CHRONICLES!

The hea lime writer of the Spo-
kane Chronicle is apparently mig
ger lover OF the most hopeless sort.
He says that the negroes of Spokane
will organize and pass resolutions e
futing the SANDER" heaped on
them by Tillman.
1t might not be inadvisable to
suggest that the Spokane newspaper
man who feels that Tillman is ''slan-
dering' the negroes should first hear
what the eminent advocate of the
superiority of the whites has TO say.
And then he might perforce take
up his residence in the Coon Belt for
a period. 1t is safe to assume that
after few months contact with the
lustful, lawbreaking libertines against
which class Tillman has spoken, the
Chronicle man would gladly return
to Spokane-and for the rest of his
natural life he would maintain the
only proper attitude towards the
blacks. His misplaced affection for
the niger would be permanently
cured-he would ''see the light"
AS Tillman said in his lecture here,
ignorance of true conditions is large
~ the reason why Northern people as
class entertain such impossible
ideas on the negro problem.

there is liberal profit of some kind

BURNH4N II SICK NAN.
President of Mutual Rcserue WI
Fight 4ttempts to Dust Him.

President Burnham of the Mutual Reserve. a
Tribune reporter learned yesterday, is suffer-
ing from diabetes and Il weak heart, and &C
cording to his friends including physicians.
his present condition is such that the excite
ment consequent any appearance in court to
stand trial, might be fraught with serious
sequences.
President Burnham is under indictment for
grand larceny. Assistant District Attorney Mott
TO have made a motion in the Criminal
Branch of the Supreme Court early this week
for special jury panel in the case. District
Attorney Jerome, however has announced that
he will not move for President Burnhams trial
until after the trial of Harry h. Thaw.
Although Mr.. Burnhams friends have not per-
mitted the fact 10 become public Mr.. Burnham
has been suffering from diabetes for some
months, any excitement tending to increase the
malady.
IF Mr.. Burnham were to be asked TO go on
the stand Tomorrow" said close friend Of the
president last night. II should strongly advise
against IT. He is in precarious condition. and
the recent Insurance troubles have not helped
to make him better"
Mr. Durham himself has fostered the illusion
or his good health by refusing resolutely 10 re-
main absent from his Office unless physically in
capable OF leaving his home as has sometimes
been the case, although many of his business
associates have known nothing OF 1t.
Mr. Burnham's present intention apparently
is TO fight both his Indictment and the attempts
10 GUST him from the presidency Of the Mutual
Reserve be his condition good bad. n is
considered possible, however. that the counses
of his friends may prevail. at least in the case
Of the presidency of the company IT believe
that If Mr.. Burnham freed from his pres
ent worry and excitement. his diabetes. at least,
would diminish. If not disappear said the same
informant. las 1t is, although he is in pre-
carious condition, he won't admit IL. TIE Is
fighter first last and all the time
II will be remembered that the Armstrong
committee excused Mr. Burnham from testify
ing, his physician deposng that the excitement
already had brought on suppuration Of the ear.

of his own testimony, but as TO the rest of 1t
/ have every objection. I may say to your
honor that the evidence given before the grand
jury refers to a number of persons who have
not been arrested as yet, but who may be sub
sequently arrested. Public policy demands that
this evidence should not be spread abroad
This presentment is an extraordinary feature
of the finding of the indictments I heard all
the evidence in this case and. concurred In
the truth of the presentment, but not in its
wisdom. The motives of the men indicted were
undoubtedly. to my way of thinking. atrustic,
but there is a vast difference between motive
and intent The grand jury, taking the law
from the District Attorney. had to find indict-
ments because there that intent to commit
a crime"
Mr.. Jerome then fled n long objection to the
request for an inspection Of the grand jury
minutes.
Mr.. Cohen declared that not enough ndct-
ments had been found. He said that the trans
actions which the indictments were based
referred to entries in certain books. These
books might just we'll have been multiplied
and fOrty-eight indictments found. He insisted
that the language of the indictment had to
show fraud and that it did not do He de-
statement that other arrests might follow was
devised only to clog the real issue.
Justice Fitzgerald said that in the event of
the granting of the application for the inspec-
ton of tn" minutes none of the matter in them
should be inspected by counsel for the defendant
eXcep: that which bore on his case.
1T will be impossible to segregate any part
Of the evidence" said Mr. Jerome "If you at
tempt to do that it will be found to be i'm
possible"
"If that Is a. fact" rejoined Mr. Cohen let
IS have an order and delay the matter until Mr..
I'airchild has returned to this jurisdiction and
then have the entire minutes inspected
