The esse against the trapmen of the
Columbia river have for the second time
in two years fallen to the ground, and
Hon. C. W. Fulton and his brother won
two case recently for the' defense, one
after the other. The Prosecuting At
torney declared he would never again
bring a charge against a trapman or a
gill-net fisherman. He declared it
utterly useless to try to secure a con
viction, and stated that it would never
be possible for the State to win a case of
the kind when the lawyers so mixed the
jury np with the jurisdiction question
that thev were unable to agree on any
thing. Mr. Fulton produced certificates
held by both defendants, and argued
that the laws of Congress giving Oregon
jurisdiction In civil and criminal canes
to the Washington shore of the Colum
bia only applied to the service of pro
cesses and to crimes committed on a
floating boat or other craft and not to
anything fixed into the bed of the river
on the Washington aide. He claimed in
addition that, if a Clatsop county jury
pronounced jurisdiction over w asning
ton fishtraps, the Stato of Washington
could with just as much reason levy due
on and control the Union Paci fie wharve
that run out toward the middle channel
from Astoria. Judge Cleveland, being
powerless to instruct the juries on the
question of law, was barred from- in
structing either jury, and the Fultons
secured acquittal for every one of their
clients. The Question unfortunatolv is
no nearer settlement than ever. Tha
Sheriff of the county and all his dep
nties are denonncing'Fiah Commissinnor
Crawford of Washington for what thfty
claim ia flagrant dereliction of duty Ir
favor of the trapowner.

The Star says that President Cleve

present administration ended June 3 the

ing the corresponding period of the pre
vious administration tne total number

month. Of these 2.053 were to fill va
cancies caused by resignation and death
and 5.607 by removals. The number of
appointments made on resignations was
2.015 greater during the first quarter of
the administration than during tha last,
and the number made on removals wa
3.502 lea during Cleveland' first quarter

Secretarv Gresham has received infor
mation from Minister Blount that war
rants the conclusion that he ia prepared
to Indorse all that has been done in Ha
waii and that he ia now itronglv in
clined to recommend at least the estab

over the Hawaiian Islands. The Secre
tary I also in official ignorance ot the
reported Interference of Claus Spreckela
in behalf of the restoration of monarchy
and of hi insistence upon the repayment
bv the provisional government of money
advanced by him to the late monarchy.
The Secretary i. of course, in receipt of
information from Blount that be doe

eels no hesitation in denying the accu
racy of tho above report.
WORLD'S FAI& NOTES.
The ai Gladstone has been Using at
Havrarden is to be on exhibition at the
World's Fair.
Florida, somewhat late it woold aeem,
is appropriating f.25,000 for State use at
the World's Fair on condition that the
railroads give a like sum.
Tho foreign commissioner at the
World' Fair propose to have an inde
pendent board of jurors and to issue di
plomas on their own account.
The World' Fair managers have fig
ured expenses down to 20,000 a day,
whereas tho daily average revenue from
admissions and concessions ia about (30,
WH). A majority of the United States Cir
cuit Court has decided the World's Fair
must close Sun' lays. Judges Wood and
Jenkins ordered that an injunction be
issued restraining tho officials from open
ing the gates of the fair gfonnd. Judge
Grosscnp dissented, recommending that
the injunction applied for by the United
States District Attorney bo not granted.
The decision of Judges Wood and Jen
kins, though reaching the same point in
tlio end, take this action on widoly divorc
ing grounds, and dissenting opinion dif
fers radically from both. The court
rooms were crowded when the decision
was read. Judge Wood read his own
opinion, in which he concluded that
Jackson Park was lawfully devoted for
exposition purposes, and that the expo
sition had been in feet turned over to
the control of the Federal government
bv the local corporation, arid that its
control was therefore as absolute as its
control of the Federal building. He
held that the Sunday-closing rule, hav
ing once.been passed by the local direc
tory and approved by the National Com
mission, former body could not change
it. Regarding the case before Judge
Stein of the State conrt he held it was
no bar to the proceeding, because It is
inadmissible to ear that the government
must in comity yield to a Stato court.
A man named Arnold and Harlow
Higginhotham, who secured the conces
sion as official and onlv photographer
on the grounds at a salary of (2,000 a
year and 10 per cent on all work, which
meant about i 25.000, have ruined them
elves by ofllciousness in getting them
selves tangled up with the council of ad
ministration, and will probably be dis
ciplined. Thev went so far a to declare
that representatives of illustrated news
papers could not make sketches on the
grounds, and the other d;ty one of these
artists was arrested and taken before
Arnold, who constituted himself ill
istmtefor tho occasion and utterly ig
nored the permit issued to the artist by
Director-General Davis. When the in
formation of thia rcRched the Director
General he was wroth, and the matter
was referred to the council of adininia
f atton, which will Inteniew Arnold.
This is not the most serious matter about
these hanghtv photographers. -The Im
perial German Commissioners . md
complaint against them to the effect that
Arnold refused to return them negatives
of photographs taken of paintings in the
Gorman section of the fine-arts gallery.
The United States government signed an
agreement that all negatives of photo
R.nplis or other exhibit should be re
turned to the commissioners. This agree
livvit, however, had no effect on Arnold,
n'H the matter wrs laid before, the eoua
r,; -if administration.
