ALRANY. Oct. 13. That this af
ternoon will fee the beginning of the
end In the Sulzer Impeachment trial
seemed likely when the court con
vened. It appears Improbable a ver
dict will be returned before tomor
tow. but that he will be uble to get

r umber of his supporters la In.llcuteJ
Inasmuch as a vote Is scheduled late
today on the governor's contention
the court lucked the power to try him
for acts preceding li in Induction Into
office.
Sulzer's friends hope to master
enough votes to prevent the two
thirds majority necesury to remove,
but persons who followed the trial
closely predict he will have only
eleven and he needs twenty to ei
cupe conviction.
Despite the predictions that Sulzer
will have only eleven members in

twenty to acquit Senator Wend says
bo Is sure tho governor will win. He
U sure, though he gave no figures,
that there are enough Sulzer members
on tho court to prevent removal. He
added he expected the court to ap

Prepared evidently for the worst
that can befall him this week at the
bands of the Court of Impeachment,

and confdenco In himself which am
azes even those who know him best
Convinced at last that his chances
of acquittal are slight, Mr. Suiter Is
making ready to keep up his fight on
Charles F. Murphy. The statement he
has prepared and which Is being held
for release presuppose that he will
be found guilty by the court. He evi
dently expects nothing else nnd his
future moves are arranged with that
In view.
Drawing his Inspiration from the
moss of encouraging letters which
come to him dajly, Mr. Sulzer stands
ready, he declares, to seek revenge of
his political enemies. He will not ac
cept the verdict of the Court of Im

litical oblivion without a struggle. He
will denounce the verdict nnd with
his plea of conspiracy take his story

NEW YORK. Oct. 13. The canon
yenl amendment amounting practic
ally, low churchmen assert, to tho
cicatlon of an "American Pope" Is
to be taken up by the house of bish
ops at this convention. The high
churchmen support It, but tho low
church party Is protesting ngftlnnt
even the present display and formal
ity In church service and government.
They oppose It bitterly. The house of
bishops voted today fifty-two to forty

tren years. It Is a victory for the
high churchmen.
A love match has to have Its flare-ups.

While being brought to Pendleton
from his home ut I. eh man Springs
James Lehman, pioneer miner and
prospector. founder of Lehman
Springs and who claimed to have
been the discoverer of Crater Lake,
passed away yesterday near Albee He
had been 111 for some time, his ail
ment being Incident to old age, and
ycstciMuy a farmer by the name of
Hollons, started to bring him to thej
city but the eld man expired before

ed. 'Tncle Jlmmle" Lehman was one
of the best known of the eastern Ore
gon pioneers and he claimed staunch
friends all over the state. He came
west during the days of '4 9 when
there was a stampede to the gold
fields of California. After prospect
ing there for some time he went
north to Caribou. Hrltlsh Columbia,
where he continued his search tor
Rold. later ho came to eastern Ore
gon, still In quest of the yellow metal.
For many years he searched for the
famous Blue Bucket mine In Mulheur
county and for the equally famous
Lost Cubln mine In southern Oregon
und other El Dorados. Ho suffered
any disappointments but persevered
In the face of them.
It was in Novemoer, 1S62, while
piloting several prospectors from
Grant county over the mountains to
southwestern Oregon that he stum
bled onto the lake In the crater of an
extinct volcano and ho steadfastly
claimed to have been the first white
man that ever set eyes upon that nat
ural wonder. Other men have clulm-
ed tho same distinction and It Is
doubtful hether the credit ever will
go to any of them.
Some forty years ago when on a
prospecting trip with nr. Teel In the
southern part of Umatilla county, the
two men discovered the hot springs
which now boar the na,me of the de
censed. He owned them and con
uucioa me summer resort lucre up
until a few years ago when ho sold
them to W. H. McCormmach of this
j city. At the time, however, he re
talned a cabin near the springs for
life nnd the privilege of using tho
springs. It was In ihl cabin he was
living when ho was seized with his
last Illness.
Deceased as over 82 years of ago
at the time of his death and was
without any known relatives. He

never married. In hla pocket was
found hla will and It has been turned
over to J. H. Perry, who !s named as
executor, Mr. Perry having formerly
been a partner of Mr. Lehman In the
ownership of tho springs. The estate
of tho deceased la valued at about

MEXICO CITV. Oct. 13 Indica

arrested members of the chamber of
deputies In a body. With the excep

he locked them up pending the elec

ST. MICHAELS. Alaska. Oct. 13.
The Russian flagship Taimyr and its
consort, the Waygntch, which consti
tute a Russian polar expedition under
Commander Wllkltzky. which left
Vladivostok June 10 of this year,
reached St. Michael stormbound Oc
tober 9, and brought to that port news
of the discovery north of Siberia In
latitude 81 X., longitude 104 E.. of a
new uninhabited mountainous land,
possibly a continent. The expedition
landed with difficulty on the new land
raised the Russian flag on it and took
possession In the name of the Czar.
Commander Wllkltzky christened
the new land "Nicholas Second
Land."
The expedition sailed from Vladi
vostok by way of Petropovlock and
East Cape and thence westward along
the Siberian coast to latitude 96 E.
Smoking Volcano Seen.
Commander Wllkltzky says that the
shore of the new. country where the
expedition landed and along which the
vessel traveled is rocky, with high,
abrupt clifrs, formed evidently from
volcanic activity. Volcanoes of the
district possibly may have been ac
tive recently, he said. Many high
peaks, he stated, were discernible In
land from the vessels and what seem
ed to be vapor could be seen arlsinj
from one of these.
The temperature taken on the wa
ter near the shore line was 51.8 do-
grceS Fahrenheit, while that taken on
shore was 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit
The land was covered with snow al
most to the sea.
In July nnd August tho expedition
saw much evidence of the presence
on the land of reindeer. Many wal
rus were seen and bird life was plen
tlful. A numher of polar bears also
were seen. The vegetation on the
new land, Commander Wllkltzky stat
cd, was scant. Twenty fathoms from
shore a depth of water of 95 fathoms
was sounded.

of his cousin, former Governor Jen

tnry Bryan. "It is an unqualified
falsehood," said the secretary, "but
you know newspapers must have
something to print."

spite the government's prepar-
atlons to u rouse popular feeling
against the Jews by making out
an overwhelming case against
Mendel Kellis on trial charged
with murder in connection with
alleged religious ceremony, the
Hellls prosecution has continued
to flatten out. The principal
witness today whs a neighbor

who was counted on to give
damaging testimony proved a
disappointment to the prosecu-
tor. He Bald he knew nothing
of the murder beyond what he

ments made against the prisoner
at the preliminary hearing say-
ing he didn't remember making
them and denied saying Kellis
had hired an assassin to poison
him. The Jury this afternoon

LAWYERS CATCH FISH
BUT THEY LOST THEM
Tes. It was a delightful day in the
mountains and perfect In every way
from the standpoint of the anglers.
The speckled beauties were biting
freely, tha big ones as well as the
small, and the baskets of both of the
Waitonltes wero soon filled with as
Hetty a catch as has been made In
the season. And yet neither Charles
H. Carter nor Oliver P. Morton are
radiating much Joy today. In fact
their countenances are of a peculiarly
mournful cast and "there la a rea
son." Never a fish did they have
to show for their trip when they got
home but somewhere in the city of
La Grande the savory odor ,of fried
trout Is making one family glad that
the attorneys like to spend their Sun
days with rod and line. ;
The two angling barristers, spent
yesterday on Meacham creek -and. as
already been chronicled, they had ex
traordinary success. They boarded
the train at Duncan and went on Into
La Grande and, as the cars were
warm, they hung their baskets out of
the windows to keep their fish cool.
When they reached their destination
it was dark. They raised the windows
and found four straps neatly cut. Bas
kets and fish' had been appropriated
v.y someone outside who liked the
taste of mountain trout.
The only consolation of the two
iawyera find lies in the fact that tney
tan tell their friend of the enormous
size of their catch without fear of
contradiction.
