''LESE MAJESTE"
CASE SHOWS A
new PHASE
COMES UP NOW AS A PLAIN ISSUE
OF VERACITY BETWEEN COM
MANDER McNULTY AND PAY.
MASTER CAPRON.

The personal controversy between
Captain George Shepherd, the well
known and brilliant commanding off,
Ger of the Oregon Navil Militia, and
James Laidlaw, British consul at
Portland and which has already
gained international repute and for
awhile threatened to precipitate war
between the British army and the
Oregon Naval Militia broke out anew
this morning when Governor West
received communication from A. P.
.Capron, paymaster of the militia, de-
nying that he had ever told Com
mander John McNulty, another Off
Ger, that the British consul had said
that Captain Shepherd was not compe
tent to be commanding officer of the
Oregon Naval Militia which consists
of a tub and two row boats.
It Was Terrible.
The slanderous remarks were pre-
sumed to have been made last sum
mer. According to McNulty, he and
Capron were walking to drill-in full
uniform mind you, and discussing in
tricate naval problems-when Capron
told him that the British consul had
had the audacity to say that Captain
Sheppard was not competent to COM
mand the Oregon Naval Militia.

against his superior officer and be-
lieving that for the good of the SER

Nulty told him. Remembering that
Acting Governor Bowerman had had
confidence enough in him to promote
him to a captaincy, Shepherd in
communication breathing with mar

Capron in a communication to the
governor denies that he ever said
what he is supposed to have said. He
says that it is all a surprise to him

iects, but for the great impetus that
it will give to the exploration and
survey Of the less-known regions Of
the world. as a good-natured rivalry
is bound to ensue in completing the
quota Of the sheets assigned to each
nation. To do this. further surveys
will be instituted, while from time to
time additions and corrections will be
made to existing sheets. Finally, when
the world map is completed, it will
afford a satisfactory base map on
which may be laid coloring or other
notifications for census purposes, for
geology ethnography, crops, meteorol-
ogy and similar objects.
What the time required to complete
this great atlas will be it is of course
impossible to tell. For the sheets to
be compiled by the United States Geo,
logical Survey it is estimated that the
base and topographic maps can be
completed in ten or twelve years at
the present rate Of federal appropria-
tions. But with the cooperation of
the individual states this time can be
reduced materially The estimated cost
of compiling the base map without

to S35 per thousand square miles. The
cost is least, of course, where the
