Washington, March 2l.-Almost the
entire session Of the senate was con.
sumed with consideration of the legis.
lative, executive and judicial appropri-
attn bill. The bill finally passed car
ried an appropriation of $32, ,945 ,83l,
the amount added to the house bill by
the senate being $642,7l8.
Washington, March 2l.-Without
being materially amended in any form,
the fortifcation appropriation bill was
passed by the house today. During the
closing debate the War department was
criticised by several members regard
ing the money spent on Notifications at
Subig bay, which, it was charged, WAS
wasted, n view of later recommends
ticn that the defenses at Cavite be
strengthened. Criticism likewise was
offered to the estimates Of the depart
ment, which recommended an appro-
priation of over $50, 600, 900, which it
was said could not have been expended
within ten years,
An amendment by De Almond to
allow the secretary of war to buy
abroad war materials in "any" guam
tlty was adopted, despite the efforts of
Republican floor leaders to marshal
sufficient votes to defeat it.

Washington, March 18.-Rear-Ad.
miral Charles S. Sperry will be com
mander-in-chiefo of the Atlantic bat

PLAN NATIONAL APPLE FAIR.
Spokane Proposes to Offer 100000
in Premiums.

Spokane, Wash, March 20.-At a
meeting of prominent citizens today it
was decided to make the big apple chow
that will be held in Spokane next De-
cember national affair, and such large
prizes will be offered that fruit from
all parts of the United States will be
entered in competition. 1t is expected
that the awards that will be given will
attract some of the greatest fruit ex-
perts of foreign countries.
To carry out the plan, a corporation
to be known as the National Apple
Show will be formed with stock amount
ing to 500, 900, and governed by a board
of trustees of seven or nine men. 1t is
anticipated that one Of the directors will
be Louis w. Hill, president Of the
Great Northern railroad, who has been
requested by wire to accept position
on the board.
" 1t is intended to offer from $4,000 to
$4,000 in premiums and to, make the
show an annual affair. Among the
leaders are w. D. Vincent, cashier Of
the Old National bank, and David
Brown, president of the Hszelwood
company.

is "lNNOCENT PURCHASER"
Harriman is Reported to Have Sold
Oregon Land Grant

Washington, March 19.-It is believ-
ed in government circles that secret
contract has been made by the Oregon
& California Railroad company, under
which it has already agreed to sell the
remaining 1000, 900 acres OF it's grant
to one single purhaser, and that large
sum Of money has been paid to the rail-
road company on account by this pur-
chaser. The attention of representa-
tive of the Booth Kelly Lumber COM
pany, who has been contending for an
innocent purchaser amendment to the
Fulton resolution, was today called to
this report, and he remarked: "Then
whoever has purchased this land ought
to be protected like the rest of u.s."
merely showing that the lumber COM
panies would be willing that the gov
ernment should make any sacrifice in
order to give them sound title where
they now hold shaky one.
The lumbermen left for home today
pretty we'll disheartened. They were
confident when they came here that
they would have an easy fight, but de.
velopments before the committee were
somewhat surprising to them, and pri-
vately they admit they are defeated.
Nevertheless it is expected that an at
tempt will be made when the resolution
goes into the house to secure the adop-
tion of the innocent purchasers amend
ment il the committee reports the reso-
luton as it passed the senate.

PROTECT TRULY INNOCENT.
But Railroad Land Grant Must First
Be Forfeited.


Be Forfeited.
Washington, March 20.-The status
of purchasers of granted land in good
faith from the Oregon & California
Railroad company, and their rights un.
der the law, were set forth in some de.
tail at the hearing before the house COM
mittee. The provisions of the grant
prohibit aales except to actual settlers
in limited quantities and at a limited
price. By necessary implication it per-
mits sales Of the kind mentioned.
This provision of the grant is a con-
dition subsequent for breach of which
the government has right of forfeiture.
However, a condition subsequent is not
self-executing. Upon the breach of the
condition title does not automatically
revert to the grantor. So that until
the government in some way asserts
rights Of forfeiture, title remains unim-
paired in the railroad company, with
full authority to make sales to actual
settlers in the manner provided in the
grant. After forfeiture is claimed, no
further sales Of any kind can be made
by the railroad company, if the conten-
tion of the government is correct. But
all sales made within the terms of the
grant will be valid and will be in no
way affected either by the Fulton reso-
luton or by any quits that will be COM
mencad

COAST STEAMER WRECKED.
Hits Rocks of Fort Ross, CaI.-Pas-
sengers Land, Mail Lost.

Eureka, Cal, March 18.-The
steamer Pomona of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company, struck rock
at 6:30 tonight off Fort Ross, 25
miles south of Port Arena. The YES
sci, which at the time of the disaster
was en- route from San Francisco to
Eureka and was expected to arrive
here tomorrow noon, managed to get
off the reef and attempted to run for
shore. When half mile from the
beach she struck another rock and Is
hanging there at the present time.
The rising tide will probably wash
her off into deep water and she will
sink and be total loss, with her
cargo, including 102 bags of mail.
The "a passengers and 62 mem
bers of the crew were saved and are
now ashore at Fort Ross suffering
from lack of food and shelter. They
will pass a dreary night on the beach
at the small Russian settlement.

Haytien Government SummariIy Exc
cutes Number of Alleged Revoiu-
tiontsts - France, Germany and
Great Britain Working together
to Avoid Trouble.

Paris, March 1.-THE situation
between the Haytien government and
France has become acute and criti
cal. The French Legation at Port
Au Prince Is menaced and a general
massacre of the white residents of
the islands is feared. This informa-
tion was conveyed in an official dis
patch to the Foreign Office by M.
Carteron, the French minister to
Hayti.
The latter part of last week, NJ.
Borno, the Haytien minister of state,
assured M. Carteron that Hayti
would agre to allow the refugees
who had taken asylum in the French
Consulates at Gonaives and st. Marc
to leave the island.
This morning there came the news
of the execution at Port Au Prince
on Sunday of between 10 and IL
prominent persons on the charge Of
conspiracy against the government,
together with a cablegram from NJ.
Carteron announcing that General
Nord Alexis the president of Hayti.

Eleven additional persons have
taken asylum at the French Lega-
|tion. The French cruiser Destrees
is expected very soon at Gonaives,
where she will act in cooperation
with the British and German ships
of war now on their way to Hayti.
1t is understood here that France,
Germany and Great Britain are act
ing in accord in this matter.
General Antonor Fimin, who led
the last revolt of Hayti, is among
the refugees under the French flag.
The foreign office recognizes that the
general and his followers are revo-
lutionists but declines to hand them
over to the Haytien government on
the ground that there were no as
surances that the men would have
legal trial. In this connection 1t was
explained that, according to French
tradition, any man who sought ref
uge under the French flag should
have at least temporary protection.
The Temps has specials from Port
Au Prince saying that the local sit
uation is grave. General Nord Alexis

The dispatch says it appears that
the situation is likely to be still fur

the possibility of a messacre of the

ORCHARD GETS
DEATH PENALTY
Sentenced 10 Execution. but Judge
Recommends Stay.
Date Set for May I5-Orchard Broke

Believes Orchard.

Boise, Idaho, March 19.-Statinl
that he believes Harry Orchard, in his
testimony in the trials Of William d,
Haywood and George A. Pettibone fol
the murder of Ex-Governor Frank Steu.
nenberg, told the exact truth, attempt
ing to conceal nothing, Judge Fremont
Wood, in the District court yesterday,
recommended that the state board oil
pardons commute Orchards sentence OF
death to life imprisonment in the state
penitentiary. The sentence of death
was pronounced in accordance with the
plea of guilty entered by Orchard Tues
day of last week when arraigned. Judge
Woo presided at both the Haywood
and Petttibone trials.
In sentencing Orchard and recon-
mending the Communication Of his sem
tence, Judge Wood reviewed the case
from the time of the killing of Frank
Steunenberg to the present.
In regard to the part of Orchard in
the trials, Judge Wood said:
81 am more than satisfied that the
defendant now at the bar of this court
awaiting uudI SouIcLCo udS AOt ouiy
acted in good faith in making the dis
closures that he did, but that he also
testified fully and fairly to the whole
truth, withholding nothing that was
material and declaring nothing which
had not actually taken place."
Judge Wood, after reading his ruling,
formally sentenced Orchard and fixed
May 15 as the date for the execution.
Orchard asked for permission to speak,
and it was granted. He thanked the
court for the review Of the case given,
and for the kindly remarks in regard to
him. He repeated that he had told the
whole truth and that no promise of i'm
munity or Of mercy had ever been made
to him. Before he had concluded, tears
were streaming from his eyes, and he
all but broke down as he again, in a
broken voice, thanked Judge Wood for
his recommendation to the board Of
pardons.
In Judge Woods ruling he laid spe-
cial stress upon the crimes in Idaho
and plainly intimated that the end of
prosecutions Of those believed to have
perpetrated them had not come.

French Beat OFF Natives.

Paris, March 1S.-A dispatch re-
ceived here from General d'Amade,
commander of the French forces in
Morocco, says that upon the arrival
of his column before Settat, the no.
tables of the Mzab tribe came out to
surrender. General d'Amade reports
that 1000 tribesmen who recently
attacked the French column were
beaten off with heavy loss. The
French infantry captured the
enemy's camp at the point of the
bayonet and burned a number of
tents as a measure of repression.
The French loss was insignificant.

bill authorizing the use of not to ex-
ceed SO per cent of the receipts from
town lots on government irrigation

the Hepburn bill in that it makes an
absolute donation of the money
whereas under the Hepburn bill the
money must be repaid into the re-
