DABNBY PROPRIETOR. 274 Commercial st, B. P. PARKHU'RST. Reliable Farm Machinery, Wagons, Buggies and supplies, Portland, May 22 The body of W. S. Ladd, which was taken from the grave a few nights ago ha9 been re covered. It was found a short dis tance this side of Oregon City, where it was taken by the ghouls. Four men residing In Oregon City under arrest. The men arrested are Charles Mont gomery and Dan D. Magone, Mont gomery made a confession, Impllca Ing Magone.EdLongand Wm.Rlchter. They were arrested. The body was found burled at Magone's place, one mile and a half below Oregon City The ofliccrs are now bringing it to the city. The principal clew that led to the capture of the men was a drawing Knire, which was made bv a blacksmith at Milwaukle. This was left at the grave by the robbers. When It was shown to the blacksmith he at once recognized it, and told the ofllcers he made it for Magone. The body was buried at Magone's Park, a well-known landmark on the Willamette river, a mile and a half below Oregon City. Its hiding place was cleverly concealed by moss and leaves, and It would never have been discovered had not Montgomery weakenedjand led the olHcers to It. Chief of Police Burns learned Thursday morning that a gang, of which Magone was atthc head, was concerned in Monday night's outrage, lie immediately dispatched a mes senger to Portland, and Detective Welsh started at once lor Oregon City with a team, stepping to pick up Detective Simmons on the way. They took the West Side road, and, on ap proaching the Magone" place", stopped and reconoitercd. Magone was not at home. lie had been spending most of his time of late on the river, his wife said, and she was unable to keep track of his goings and comings. THEY MISSED THE BODY. The two detectives spent the rest 'of the afternoon searching the river front for the body, passing several times directly over It; but their search was not rewarded. They found, how ever, that the broken draw-shave and tools which the ghouls used in the transaction of their gn&stly business of Monday night had been taken from a scow moored on Magone.s Park, and they also learned that Magone had spent a long time Sundey night in conversation with young Montgom ery. While they were searching about, some one set their team adrift, and the horses ran to Oswego before they were caught. The detectives set out at once on foot in pursuit, oyertaklng the team at Oswego, and reaching Portland at 11 o'clock. Arrived here, Deputy District At torney Fitzgerald was aroused, Hied complaints against Magone and Montgomery, charging them with larceny. Welsh and Simmons spent the night at the Esmond hotel, and again set out for Oregon City yesterday morning, reaching Magone s ranch about 0 o'clock. "Is your father at home?" they asked a child who was playing In the dooryard. "lie's home today," was the reply; "but he hasn't been for a long time." FIRST CLEW. The capture Is a particularly clever piece of work, and reflects credit on all who were concerned In It, directly or Indirectly. The messenger who gave the first valuable working clew to Chief Burns was a blacksmith at Oswego, who remembered having made a knife for some of the conspirators. Montgomery, it Is said, a month ago, asked iSenator Geo. C. Brownell whether he thought Mr. Ladd's grave was 'connected with electric wires. This clew was also valuable In effecting the capture. Police Captain Barry, assisted by Patrolmen Kerrigan and Snow has been working night and day on the case, and they were on the right scant when the newa of the capture called them home. Yesterday afternoon Capt. Barry discovered that the tele phone leading to Mr. Charles E. Inserted near the cemetery, so that one of the ghouls could listen to see If any news of their work had reached the house, while the others were en gaged in their work. The telephone used was stolen nearly two months ago from the Orchard station of East Side Railway Company, a circum stance which shows how long the scoundrels had their dreadful plans in preparation. THE ROUUERS WERE JOLLY. Patrolman Carlcson, of Sellwood, says that late Monday night he heard someone rowing up the river singing and carousing, and it Is very probable that it was the party of grave robbers, lolling fortli their ghoulish glee over the success of Uicir crime, and In anticipation of the rich reward which they hoped it would uiiiiK (.linn. jLuv.it jwjr .l-v SHIM l- lived, for they remained In poeion of their prize but two days before they were brought to Justice. There U no present clew to their fellow criminals, but it I hardly likely that they will escape. GBEECO-TUllSH, The Terms of Peace Treaty.

Tills Is a flagrant breach of the armistice. ALMOST A PANIC. Paris, May 22, The Athens cor respondent of the Journal, referring to the recent Greek defeat, telegraghs: The stupor and panic caused by the latest defeat is intense. The people look for the immediate arrival of the Turks at Athens. On all sides, fami lies are preparing to go to the islands, anxious crowds parade the streets, and there is the wildest excitement every where. I Carn that some shots were fired at the crown prlnco as he en deavored to stay the confusion. Two Greek battalions were seized with panic, and the retreating soldiers, on entering Lamia, could not bo re strained ty their ofllcers. They shouted, "The Turks are coming!"

CR1MINA L Some Highwayman Killed, Shot by Superintendent Dame While Relieving Passengers Tacoma, Wash., May 22. A slnirle robber, late this yesterday afternoon, held up and attempted to rob an In coming car on thoStellacoom electric line. About four miles and a half out ofithc city,a tall man, roughly dressed, hailed the car which stopped to let him aboard. As he got on the plat form he pulled a blue dotted calico mask, having holes cut through for eye . down over his face, proauced a revolver and ordered Superintendent Dame of the motor line and Motor man Wellman to the other end. They compiled slowly and he followed, ordering the men and the passengers? to hold up their hands, and the ladles to sit down. D.inie and Wellman had entered t he rear compartment, used for carry ing baggage and freight. The-robber evidently thought them safely dis posed of, for he paid no more atten tion to them, but commcncedl reliev ing Geo. B. Evans, a contractor, of his valuables. This done ho com manded William E. ITacker, a broker, to stand up and bo searched. In the meantime Superintendent Dame had taken out his revolver and came In behind Hacker, whore he awaited an oppoitunlty of shooting. A moment later he placed Ins arm on Heckcr's shoulder and fired Into the robber, who returned the fire. Damo fired two shots and the robber three. Two minutes later the robber was lying beside the car, dead, wh'le Damo had been shot in the arm and Jcwctt Smith, a passenger, In tho leg.

Washinuton, May 22. The action of the senate in passing tho Morgan joint resolution declaring a state of war exists in Cuba, was regarded as a movement that threatened, If carried out to the end. to Interfere serloiibly with the efforts of tho executive branch of the government to accom plish something substantial far the Cubans. Tho details of the plan President McKlnley has in mind have not yet been disclosed, and In fact It may be said they are subject to an arrange ment upon tho basis of the latest offic ial information received from Cuba, probably from Mr. Calhoun, but it was clearly manifested In tho cabinet meeting that the president had made up his mind to another forward step. lie has now come to tho determin ation to use his powers to stop blood shed in tho Island as far as this can be done wlthoutlnyolving the United States in war. There was some talk respecting tho tho application of relief measuresjln favor of American citizens In Cuba. It was decided that tho delay of the informal signature of the resolution would not necessarily prevent tho Immcdiato application of some money to feeding the poeplo represented as in great distress, as drafts cannot bo received before formalities arc com pleted and tho resolution becomes a law. Among other matters briefly dis cussed was the full report of the forestry commission upon the reserva tion question, which caused so much debate in congress. No action was taken on this subject. NOT YET A LAW. Tho resolution appropriating $50, 000 for the relief of suffering Ameri cans In Cuba was signed yesterday by Speaker Reed, but owing to the ab sence of tho vice-president and the president pro tern of the senato, it could not rccelvo the slgnlturo of eithor of them. As tho senate ad journed until Monday It cannot be signed before that day. The secretary of stato has directed Consul-General Lee, at Havana, to draw for the Immediate purchaso of supplies and medicines for tho relief of American citizens and transporta tion for such as are without means, and dcslro to return to tho United States, not to exceed $10,000. Ho 'has also instructed Leo to furnish United States consuls In Cuba In his discre tion with funds for this purpose. Consul Brlcc, at Matanzas, has been instructed by tho secretary of stato to apply to Consul-General Leo for funds to relieve citizens there. New York, May 22. Tho Herald's correspondent In Montevideo tele graphs that fierce fighting has been going on for four days near the Brazi lian frontier. The fighting Is still In progress, and botli sides have sus tained heavy losses. Lamas, one of the rebel leaders, has continued at tho head of his forces for the four days, in splto of the fact that he has been seriously wounded. Tho forces in action on both sides have hud practically no rest since the beginning of the engagement. Another attempt has been mado to assassinate President Borda, of Uru gua. The first attempt was mado by a boy, who tried to shoot tho presi dent: the last by means of a bomb, which was sent to tho president from La Plata. Argentina, and which he received recently. The bomb was In a box, arranged so that It would explode when opened. Fortunately, suspicion was aroused, and the box was turned over to tho policoand destroyed. The norald's correspondent In Rio de Janerlo says Brazil Is taking steps to strengthen her navy. Tho presi dent will ask congrcs to immediately appropriate monoy for the purchaso of one ironclad, two cruisers and oight torpedo-boats. A treaty has been signed by Brazil and Peru to replace tho boundary landmarks. Reports have reached Rio do Janerlo that tho government troops have again met defeat at the hands of tho fanatics near Canudo. It Is reported that Juan Brandas, ono of tho leaders of the fanatics, Is dead. It is stated that tho vanguard to the government troops has been destroyed A bill has been offered in the chamber of deputies offering an award of COO centos for some method of pro tecting citizens of Brazil from yellow fever.
