decision of Governor West and no
leniency would be extended to the ex-
banker
Shortly after O'Clock last night
the governor announced his decision
and Private Secretary Watson inn
mediately telephoned TO Deputy Sher-
i'll Archie Leonard, who was awaiting
the decision of the executive at the
Hotel Marion. Morris was also at
the hotel with number of friends.

HiIIman Barely Escanes

San Diego, Cal.-C. d. Hilman, the
Seattle millionaire, whose appeal from
a sentence for real estate frauds is
pending, had a narrow escape from
having to sell for S150,OOO a ranch
near Encinatas, which is proved by
the discovery of oil to be worth $780,
900.
After having accepted an offer of
$3.50, 900 from Oakland men, Hillman
visited the ranch and found three oil
outfits at work and ascertained that
oil IN paying quantities had been
struck and that prospects were good
Tor better flow. When Hillman
learned this he attempted to call off
the deal with the Oakland people, and
mail y compromised by giving his per-
sonal check for IS, 900 to sever neeo-
tiations.

REBELS STILL ACTIVE.
Unaware of Armistice. Troops Move
On Mexican Capital.

Mexico City, May "a. = Notwith
standing the official signing Of thu
peace agreement, the capital is more
nearly isolated tonight than since the
inauguration of hostilities.
Ignorant, apparently, that the war
is ended officially, one small band OF
rebels under Candida Navarro last
night cut the national railroad near
San Felipe, south of San Luis Potosi,
and another band stopped all traffic
over the MEXICAN railroad by ripping
out the rails and burning bridge
near Huamantla. Believing that the
rebels in Morelos would interfere
with traffic over the Cuernavaca
branch of the national railroad, the
sent train south today
with guards.
Rebel activity was not regarded as
meaning that the insurrectos will re-
fuse to abide by the terms of the
peace treaty. Yesterday the armis-
tice agreed upon terminated and there
are probably scattered bands of rebels
uniformed that their country is Off
,ially at peace. However, Navarro is
to have said he would not
consent to peace at present.
The motive for the cutting of the
Mexican railway may be that a troop
rain was being brought towards the
capital.
Unconfirmed reports are that the
delayed soldiers have detrained at
1uamantla and engaged body of reb-
is in battle.
In the last seven days the Federal
garrison has been greatly strengthen
d and the capture of the capital will
ow be difficult.
1t is reported that Figueroa and his
hief lieutenant, Azunsolo, are at outs
nd that Azunsolo has angered Zapata,
ne captor of Suautla, by branding
i'm a bandit.

GENERAL NEWS OF NATIONAL HAPPENINGS

Washington, May 23.-The Lorimel
case was again to the fore in the sen
ate today. A resolution of inquiry
offered by Martin, the Democratic
leader, intended as a substitute for
The LaFollette and Dillingham; resolu-
ton and continuation of the speech
by LaFollette furnished the features.
LaFollette was still speaking when
the senate adjourned. He reviewed
the recent proceedings of the Illinois
Legislature, and said he was convinced
there was still more testimony to be
adduced.
1.-The people of the country, said
he, rejected our former verdict as II
by one voice. Nothing ever is settled
until it is settled right; it is Gods
eternal justice pulling to make things
plumb.
Martins resolution was offered on
behalf of the Democratic minority.
1t provides specifically for an inquiry
into the Jackpot" fund in the Illinois
legislature and its connection with
Lorimer.
The Martin resolution would leave |
with the committee on privileges and
elections the prosecution of the in
JURY, and delegates to it all the pow
RS of court. The committee is
authorized to hold its sessions at what
'ver place it deems most convenient.

Washington, May 22.- Testifyinp
before the house committee on ex-
penditures in the Treasury department
today, j. B. Stuart, ex-collector of
customs at Newport News, said Secre-
tary of the Treasury MacVeagh had
told him the department reversed a
ruling for collection of a 20 per cent
duty on creosote because the rail
roads could not afford to pay the duty.
Another witness testified that Mr..
MacVeagh's brother had interested
himself in the matter.
Mr.. Stuart, who secured an investi-
cation into creosote imports at New
Orleans last fall, charging the govern
ment was losing millions in revenue
because creosote, dutiable at 20 per
cent, was being admitted as creosote
oil free of duty, was summoned before
the committee as the result of testi-
mony given previously in executive
session by Allan L. Benson.
Stuart related how he found that no
duty was being collected from foreign
ships whose manifests showed their |
,argoes to be creosote, the cargoes
being received as creosote oil. which

Lewiston-With the completion of
the big steam auxiliary plant of the
Decentralization Improvement com
pany at Charleston, the Lewiston
Charleston valley will be provided with
sufficient service to generate 5000
horse power, ample for the needs of
the valley at the present time.
For several days men have been en-
gagged in testing the machinery which
has been installed, and the view is
held that the new plant is one of the
most complete and efficient that has
been constructed in the Northwest.
The old plant of the company cost
$50, 900 and the enlargement by the
addition of the new plant and machin-
cry necessitated an additional OUTLAY
of 500, 600. The emergency station
was installed by the company with
view of guaranteeing service for
Lewiston and Charleston, the new plant
generating 5000 horse power. while
Asotin creek plant furnishes 5000
horse power already.
