FIXES SAILING DATE.
All Plans Complete for Fleet to Sail

All Plans Complete for Fleet to Sail
for Pacific December 10.
Washington, Oct. 2S. - Secretary
Metcalf today announced that it was
definitely settled that the Atlantic feet
will leave Hampton Roads on December
10 for its cruise to the Pacific coast.
This announcement followed confer
ence held at the White House, to
which the president summoned Secre-
tary Metealf, Rear Admiral Evans, who
will command the feet ON Its cruise TO
the Pacific, and Rear Admiral Brown
son, chief OF the bureau OF navigation
Of the Navy depai tment. The confer
ence was called to continue more in de-
tail the cabinet meeting discussion of
naval affairs. The discussion related
particularly to details OF the Atlantic
fleets cruise to the Pacific.
1t is understood that matters weredn
such shape that the president was thor
oughly informed on all important items
In the itinerary. Admiral Evans. who
has been confined to his apartments on
account Of an indisposition, looked and
declared himself 10 be much improved
in health. The bureau of insular
affairs today received cableqam from
Governor General Smith, Of the Philip
pines, asking that the Atlantic feet be
permitted to Wait Manila during the
week beginning February 10, in order
to attend to pre-Lenten festivities.
The fact that the fleet will not have
arrived in Pacific waters by that time
precludes this.
Mr.. Metcalf stated that the question
OF allowing newspaper correspondents
to accompany the feet was discussed
and the conclusion reached not to allow
newspaper men aboard, but that officers
OF the fleet would be designated to send
such news as might be thought desir-
able to make public.

VIII Pound To Bite

crescent City, CAL, Oct. 24.-The
stranded British steamer Queen Chris
tina lies in the same position she took
when she ran aground last week. The
sea continues running smooth and the
upper deck has been dry ever since the
ACCIDENT. 1t is the opinion of local
seafaring men that the first heavy
storm Will pound the vessel to pieces.
Ihere Is no chance to salvage the
neavy articles aboard from seward, as
It is too late in the season and because
tnere are too many sunken rocks around
the steamer.

THE auditors of two of the railroads
say the 2-cent rate has proved profit

of it, said Mr.. Hadley.
The facr that the railroads can't
agree on the proposition caused them
to decide &c give it another months
trial before going into court again. |

matter unless the railroads make
move. l shall be satisfied il they de-
eide to continue the 2-cent rate indef.

Moscow--Tle Federal court meets
here this week with more land fraud
cases on the docket The grand jury
will also convene, as will the trial jury.
The principal interest centers around
the case of William Dollar, wealthy
banker OF Occur d'Alene, who was in
dicted year ago with Gilbert K. Pres
ton and Arthur w. Swisher for conspir-
acy to defraud the government out ot
title to public land.
Dollar and Preston we're arragned
last spring but demurrer to the COM
plant setting up the fact that the stat
ute OF limitations had run was nterpos-
cd and taken under advisement. This
has recently been overruled and the de-
PENDANTS we're notified to be ready for
trial at this term. While DOLLARS de-
fense has not been divulged, it is under
stood that he says he is able to show
that he was In no way concerned In the
deal with Preston and Swisher, but that
as banker he had custody of the funds
raised to pay for the land and that he
merely paid them out as directed, with
out possessing any knowledge of wheth-
or the deal was fraudulent or not. 1t
is supposed Swisher will be immune
and the prosecution hopes to convict
Dollar on his testimony.

Lewiston-With the completion OF
the harvest in the lilo section of Neg
Perez prairie this week the most back
ward section of the Clearwater country
Is enabled to clean up on its grain crop
and the big yield of 1907 is safely
stored from the weather and saved to
the farmers.
The estimated grain yield for the
Clearwater section is fixed at 5000, 900
bushels, an increase of 25 per cent
over former years, and the price is an
other 20 per cent increase, leaving the
farmers OF this section in highly pros
porous condition as the result OF their
labors for the year.
The bulk of this crop is in wheat
and in barley, the former being choice
milling and the latter prime variety
OF brewing barley; the prices for both
are beyond the current market of the
interior section. This grain Is all be-
ing marketed at warehouses on the
Clearwater Short Line and ON the new
extension being built into the Neg
Perce and Camas Prairies from Guide
sac TO Grangeville. The market on the
river points is today from 10 10 IL
cents higher than on the line of the

that therefore there was no legal con-

The constitutionality OF the appropria-
hon bill passed by the last legislature.
Judge Wood holds the bill constitu-
lional; that the attorneys were the
iuly authorized agents of the state, and
nat therefore the contract with the de-
lective agency runs against the state.
Judge Wood also holds that the stste
BOARD OF examiners was clearly within |
ts duties in allowing the bill. the aud
tor within his rights in issuing the
warrant, and that the application to re-
train the treasurer win not lie because
he warrant ia in payment of a valid
