East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-03-13

Peking, March 13.-The war cloud
between China and japan suddenly
took on a darker and more ominous
shade today when Dowager Empress
An stepped in and gave orders to the
foreign office not to surrender the
Tatsu Maru, held by the Chinese, in
spite Of the Japanese protestations.
The empress is strongly supported
by her personal court and she is urg-
ed by them to throw Chiaa's armies
in the field and fight before giving up
the vessel.
Defeat by Japan would mean little
to this faction, but the disgrace of
diplomatic surrender with the conse-
quent loss Of prestige mean much.
Against the empress is pltted Yuan
Ksi Kai, the foreign councillor and
the foreign office, who favor. peace
at any price at this time. They de-
clare that the internal troubles of the
empire are sufficient at this time to
tie the empires hands and they do not
want war.
1t is understood the foreign office
has asked Great Britain to again III
tervene and propose arbitration.

Chicago. Mar. 13.-John R. Walsh,
former president Of the Home Saw
ings and Chicago National banks,
was today sentenced to five years in
prison by Federal Judge Anderson,
before whom he had been convicted
of illegal banking.
Earlier in the proceedings Ander-
son had taken unfavorable action on
Walsh's contentious in which he ask
ed for a new trial.
Walsh received a setback in his
proceedings to secure a new trial
when Judge Anderson overruled the
contention of the defense that Juror
Palmer, who collapsed during the
trial, was in such a state of physical
condition that he was not able to use
better judgment in coming to a de-
cision.
This was one of the strongest ar
guments of the defense.

A virile and aggressive man, tire
less worker, of middle age, an en-

bishop Of the eastern Oregon Episco-

He will be the guest of Rev. Quincy
and on Sunday morning will preach

time a large class of young people
will be confirmed.
Owing to the fact that the Lenten

Bishop Paddock is a westerner by
adoption his father having been the
first bishop of Olympia, Wash, many
years ago. The present bishop OF
eastern Oregon was educated in the
east and has worked largely in that
part of the United States, but he is
not a stranger to western ways and
will enter into the management Of the
vast diocese of eastern Oregon with
zeal and enthusiasm.
After a visit here he will perhaps
go to The Dalles and from there to
Portland to confer with Bishop
Charles Scadding of the Oregon dio-
cese after which he will enter active
" into his duties in the eastern Ore
gon field.

Foul Murder.

Monterey, March 1S.-Confronted
by what appears to be murder mys-
terry, the police force of this city are
endeavoring to ascertain how Mrs.
Frank Sage, whose body was found
in the bay by fishermen, came to her
death.
Mrs. Sage left her home for a walk
Wednesday night and did not return.
A searching party suspected that she
had been murdered when they found
a pool of blood in the rocks between
Monterey and Pacific Grove, but no
trace Of the woman was found until
c. j. Kedotte pulled the body from
the bottom of the bay with a fish
hook.
A knife wound in the neck and the
absence of diamonds which the wo-
man was wearing when last seen,
convince her friends that she was
murdered.
