THE 'MORNING QREGONIAN. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1907. NEWLANDSSAYS, LET TROOPS STAY Induces Taft to Telegraph . Roosevelt About Gold field Affairs. LEGAL QUESTIONS RAISED I'ower to Kmproy Troops in Police Duty in Absence of Legislative Action Doubted Sparks May Call the Legislature. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. Senator New lands, of Nevada, is endeavoring to pre vent withdrawal of the Government troops from Goldfield until some other means of protection is had. Today he tailed upon Secretary Taft at the War Department and strongly urged that exe cution of the order Issued by the Secre tary for the withdrawal of the troops next Monday be suspended until he has Jiad an opportunity, to communicate with Governor Sparks and induce him to call the Nevada Legislature together. Mr. Taft has been advising with Sec retary Root on this subject and tonight communicated with the President, at Pine Knot, on the subject. There was every disposition to refrain from breaking in upon Mr. Roosevelt's privacy at this time, and the only excuse for doing so is found in the'fact that, unless the origi nal order is modified, the troops must leave Goldfleld next Monday morning be fore the President returns to Washing ton. The Secretary declined to state what course he had recommended in the mat ter, nor would he say whether he had heard from the President in turn. Sec retary Ixeb said the White House was entirely without advice from Pine Knot, as the Goldfleld question was being handled by the War Department. Administration officials feel that the present situation in the matter of Gold field's case cannot be continued, in view of the doubt that-exists as to the con stitutional and legal right of the execu tive to employ any part of the Regular Army in Nevada under present condi tions. Mr. Sparks' attention haB been repeatedly called to the fact that this constitutional doubt might be removed by the simple device of calling together the State legislature. When that body could either give its warrant to the use of the Federal troops or provide by legislation for raising a state force of some kind, either militia or police, sufficient to in pure the maintenance of peace and the cbseance of law in Goldfleld. It Is believed that Mr. Newlands' ap peal today is ap Indication of the willing ness of the Governor to recall his refusal to convene the Legislature In session and. if this belief is well founded, the Gov ernment troops would probably be re tained at Goldfleld until some other ar rangements can be made.

PROMISES TO ACT QUICKLY Stolypin Says Tsclialkovsky's Case Will Be Brought to Trial Soon as Possible Indicted for Import ing Arms and Ammunition. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 27. The peti tion from the United States pleading for the liberation of Nicholas Tschaikovsky and Mine. Breshskovskaya has attracted the attention of the highest circles here to M. Tschaikovsky, whose arrest had been known to comparatively few persons In Russia. The petition represents the sentiments of thousands of citizens of New York, Chicago and Boston. Upon receipt of the petition. Premier Stolypin inquired personally into the, case and this after noon he Informed the Associated Press that the petition would receive due con sideration. He declined to reveal the details of the revolutionary accusations, as the preliminary investigation had been finished. "The American public can rest assured, however," the Premier said, "that every thing will be done to avoid delay and give M. Tschaikovsky a fair trial as soon as possible." The request of the Associated Tress correspondent for permission to lntlrvlew M. Tschaikovsky was at first received with a fiat negative as such a thing is against all traditions; but in deference to American sympathy the request was taken under consideration and if possible an interview will be arranged. It is believed here that the indictment against Tschaikovsky will be based on his connection with the importation into Russia of arms for revolutionary pur poses. It was to collect money for this purpose that he visited the United States. Several large shipments of arms thus secured were brought into Russia fn 1906 and 1907 and other shipments were inter cepted at the frontier. M. Tschaikovsky's co-prisVjner. Mme. Breshskovskaya, prob ably will face the more serious charge "of being a member of the fighting organiza tion which openly proclaimed Its respon sibility for the assassination of Lieutenant-General , Vladimir Pavloff, General Maximoffsky and many others. ' Mme. Savinkoff, who was arrested here December 16, charged with complicity with M. Tschaikovsky in his revolution ary propaganda, was released today and ordered to leave Russia within three days. DOt'MA TRIAL ALMOST OVER Defendants Plead Guilty Prisoner Faints From Weakness. ST.- PETERSBURG, Dec. 27. The trial on the charges of treason of members of the first Douma who signed the Viborg manifesto, calling upon the citizens of Russia to stand up for their rights, Is virtually over, the readiness of the de fendants to admit the charges in the in dictment of signing and distributing the manifesto having greatly simplified the government's task and reduced the legal side of the case to a minimum by wholly eliminating the necessity of calling wit ne.es. The Constitutional Democrats are giv ing the proceedings of the court the wid est circulation among the peasantry and taking advantage : of the opportunity openly to discuss and to defend the prin ciples of passive resistance.

Pease, the attorney who came to San Diego to see if he could recover any of the securities which it is thought William WTalker, wrecker of the New Britain, Conn., bank, hid In this city, left this morning on the steamer Ensenada. It Is alleged that the officers of the bank are more anxious to obtain the securities than they are to see Walker punishec?, and it is said that if Walker will tell about the securities he may never be ex tradited. Of the $565,000 taken by Walker, much was in the form of non-negotiable se curities. These are of no value to any one except the real owners. Walker could not dispose of them. It is - possible he may be induced to reveal the hiding place of the securities. Bonfils Keeps After Patterson. DENVER,' Dec. 27. Fred G.

The Dowager Em press has given verDal orders to the Interior Department and to the police to suppress all puDlio meetings in Pekln, and there is reason to believe Sthai this order wilf be extended to the provinces. - The popular ojfitatlon along the lines of. "rights recovery" is growing in a phenomenal manner.. For a month past the government here has been receiv ing telegrams in Increasing numbers expressing the Strong desire of the sendersf that the rights which have bepri alienated from them by foreign ers bo restored to the Chinese. The movement has reached such i magni tude that the Government1" is thorough ly alarmed, and It is today striving to fill a conciliatory position between the revolutionary agitators and those who consider themselves to be aggrieved. The agitation embraced the question of the patrol of tha West River by Great Britain in an effort to put an end' to piracy there, and leading Eng lishmen' here apprehend that the re cent popular hostility will result in an lncfuiry . Into British trade. The gov ernment is relying on the support of Great Britain, whose insistence upon. China's maintenance of her original position has produced an apparent solidarity among the Chinese ministers. It is declared here that the foreign agitation in the matter of the attitude adopted; by Japan, with regard to Man churia and the warning of Russia con cerning the annulment of the telegraph convention, have led the British Foreign Office to take action, and it is under stood that this has been the form of representations to the Tokio Govern ment. France has consented to the revision of the Tonklng convention, regarding land telegraphs, but she has postponed discussion with China of '.the cable controversy, as she desires to secure facilities lor extension of the subma rine line to Vladivostok. China, it is stated here, considers the attitude taken by Japan to be based upon im possible claims, and Japan, it is averred, is taking advantage of China's complications with Great Britain to postpone the negotiations regarding Manchuria. She has delayed drafting the new postal convention, which was promised for November. MARRIES AN INDIAN CHIEF Denver Woman Overcomes Strong Objections of Her Family. DENVER, Dec. 27.

After frequent visits to the camp, Miss Arnold Invited the Indian to call at her home. She lived at the time in a fashionable flat with her sisters and her stepfather, George Wilder. The Indian's first, visit to his sweet heart was the cause of a disagreement between her and the remaining members of her family. Objection was made only to the Indian race, his character being above reproach. Miss Arnold, however, announced her Intention to marry the Indian despite the objections of h- fam ily arid friends. Several ministers were asked to perform the ceremony, but ail refused. Then an attempt was made to have the ceremony performed in Santa Fe, but there also the clergymen refused to officiate.

M., which he cultivates himself,- and It is understood that the couple will make their home there. Chavarria Is 45 years old and his wife is a few years his junior.
