The liaelaloa In liar Caae Haa Been Tel egraphed For. Portland, Ob. United Stati Attor ney Murphy baa telegraphed to Waah Ington, 1). 0., for a copy of the decision of the Supreme Court of the United BUtee In the case of the government against the steamer Haytian Republic. Until thia arrivea the effect of the dec! aion cannot be definitely known. The Question involved is one which haa never . . . : . l . I . l ' Deen Drouglll up in vmo courts ui tins vuintrv lH-fore. and the decision ia one of great importance. The Haytian Re public waa seliiea at neaiue ior smng gllng opium, and waa released on bonds being given in the aum of $30,000 or thereabouts. On her arrival here aha waa attain seized, the libel charging acta of smuggling prior to those for which aha waa libeled at Seattle. The owners of the steamer demurred to thia lilwl, and claimed that any acta commuted oy the steamer previoua to her seiiure at Seattle must have been Included or mnnml in the libel placed on her there. This view was sustained by the Court here and by UieCircuit Uourt oi Appeals, and the case was appealed to tiie su preme Court of the United States, which. as is now understood by government of ficials here, decided that the steamer could be libeled for any unlnwlul acts not Included in the Seattle libel, whether committed before or after. The acta for which the steamer was libeled here were committed before those for which she was libeled at Seattle. Of course the government will have to prove the facta alleged aa to the smuggling acts com mitted. , MOT WITIIIN TUB LAW. Olvmpia. Wash. The Secretary of the State Land Commission has been in structed to notify the oillciala of the city of Hoquiam that the harlior lines in front of that city will be laid at the ear liest date practicable. In reference to the South Bend harbor lines the com mission passed resolutions that after hnarincr the statements of persona Inter ested and of the citizens of South Bend and upon examination of the United rotates coast survey, eutie iiaroor iine Commission maps and other hydro graphic information and upon consider ing the opinion of the Attorney-General to the effect that the legislature did not intend to require the harbor lines to be established in all navigable waters in front of Incorporated cities, but only in such navigable waters aa are within a harbor, estuary, bay or inlet, it is the opinion of the board that the Willapa river at South Bend is not such as was contemplated by the Legislature. It waa therefore ordered py tne ooara mat no harbor lines be established at South Bend. ' ! BOUND AMD I.KFT TO VIM. y Los Anoki.is.Cal.

The orange crop of California this year is much below what was expected at the opening of the season, owing to the spell of frosty weather two months ago. The total out put from Southern California to date ac cording to figures supplied by the South ern Pacific Company is 3,000 carloads, of which 3,100 carloads were for Eastern points. The aggregate for the season will prob ably reach 4,000 carloads. This will be 20 per cent below the shipments of 1803. The output for Northern California will not exceed thirty carloads, the f reater part of which never gets bevond he State line. The proximity of San Francisco and Sacramento to the north ern citrus belt affords a home market for the orange growers of that district. Not only was the crop of oranges in Southern California light, but the prices realised were discouragingly low. . NORTHWEST BREVITIES. Washington.

A piece of creditable artistic enter prise is on foot at North Yakima, and consists of a project, now assured, to build a boulevard from the town out to the State Fair grounds. The road will tie graded, trees planted, irrigation ditches put along its full length and a twelve-foot sidewalk on either side. It will be done in time for the fair. It seems that James Nolen, who waa sentenced to sixteen years' bard labor for outrage upon his daughter, steadfast ly maintained during his trial at Klllens burg that the girl had been induced to testify against him falsely.

Another awful calamity has" befallen the town of Conconully, this time in the shape of a big cloudburst and a log jam on the Salmon river. Everything went. Trees, bouses and rocks came in a re aistless torrent upon the beautiful flat. There are deposit of logs and dirt as high aa fifteen feet In places. The lose will be greater than by the fire which swept the town in August, 1892, for this time nothing was left standing except part of W. Briges saloon, B. WehrfriU' saloon, W. M. Shufelt'e barber shop and K. P. Simmons' taw office in .the block below. The flood was within a half mile of the town when it was first seen, and everybody fled to higher land, forgetting all else.

THE PROVINCE OF A NEWSPAPER It Is Impossible, Says tba Judge, for a Modem Dally to Verify Everything That Haa to be Served the Fubllij Hot From the Wires. Chicago, III. Judge Dunne ha granted the motion for a new trial in the case of Juliette C. Smith of Toronto, Ont., against the Chicago Herald Com pany, delivering an important interpre tation of the law of libel. The plaintiff brought suit for damage for the publi cation of a dispatch considered to reflect on her character. A jury found for the plaintiff for $15,000 damages. In grant ing he new trial Judge Dunne said: " The plaintiff had the protection of a husband, an intelligent gentleman fully cognizant no doubt of the circumstances attending the publication of a newspa per. He and she must have known that news is gathered by such a paper from multitudinous sources and from the whole face of the earth and published hot from the telegraph wires. That it is absolutely imposible for this modern en gine of information to do the work which the times and the people expect and de mand and at the same time to verify every item and explore for possible falsity in what seem true was information ' com mon to the plaintiff, husband and all in telligent persons." The proper course for the plaintiff to pursue, the Court said, was to Inform the publishers of the falsity of the article and demand repa ration and retraction ; but without ask ing for a retraction suit was commenced after a lapse of over two months. Con tinuing, Judge Dunne said : " The mod ern daily is at once the effect and instru ment of progress. Its proprietors must answer for wrong done, even without express malice, but they are entitled to fair treatment. When a newspaper is led into publishing unknowingly an un true statement concerning an individual it should not only retract when the truth is made known, but also compensate the Injured party for injury already done; but it is equally the duty of the person thus injured to make known the truth, demand retraction and lessen so far aa possible the injurious consequences of the libelous publication. If this be done and the paper persists in repeating the statement, or refuses ample retraction and reparation, then it is time for the vindictive lightning of the law to strike. Here a party who claims to be injured did nothing to stop the further circula tion of the publication. The right to redress is not the right to vengeance. Courts are to stand between every indi vidual and injustice, protecting the one, preventing the other. It has been the uninterrupted practice of courts to ex amine with careful scrutiny verdicts the principal element of which is vindictive damages and to set aside or otherwise control the same where they are mani festly the result of unreasoning preju dice, blind sympathy or wanton reck lessness. j IN FATOB Of THE TRUST,, Fight Between the Natlenal Lead Com pany and Naval Concern Knded. Cincinnati, O. Judge Rufus B. Smith gave judgment in a case that occupied ten weeks and has been ' contested with such bitterness that the Judge regarded the testimony of one witness as not en titled to belief, and that another had de liberately committed perjury. It is battle between the National Lead' Com pany, known as the Lead Trust, and one of the few independent companies not included in the National Company. The suit was brought in August, 1891, by the Walker Paint Company against the An chor White Lead Company and the Eck stein White Lead Company for an in junction restraining the defendants from issuing circulars containing an analysis of the plaintiff's paint product, showing it ia adulterated with barylea. Fifty thousand dollars damages was also claimed. The defendant companies be ing now in the National Lead Company, it was the real defendant. The defense waa that the statement of the analysis of the plaintiff's product in 1800 and 1889 was true. The Court in an elabor ate opinion found that the claim of the defense was fully established, and dis missed the case, dissolving the tempo rary injunction. SHE SATED KANT L1TES. Little Girl Prwaented With the Medal of . the Legion of Honor. Indianapolis, Iwn. The medal pre sented by the French government bear ing the insignia oi the Legion of Honor has been presented to Jennie Creek, little ten-year-old girl of Alford, Black ford county, for saving a trainload of World's Fair passengers on the Panhan dle railroad last summer. While walk ing along the track she discovered that the trestle across a deep ravine was on fire, and the World's Fair express with several hundred passengers on board was nearly due. -With remarkable presence of mind the little one tore off her red flannel petticoat, ran down the track until she came in sight of the approach ing train and waved her skirt as a dan ger signal. A number of French pas sengers were aboard the train. They called the attention of the French World's Fair Commissioner to the inci dent, and he in turn laid it before Presi dent Carnot, who at once ordered a medal of the Legion of Honor, which is given only in recognition of acts of he roism. . The French Cabinet. Paris. It is announced that Dunjiy has completed the list of names of men who will compose the new Cabinet, and the following is regarded as the final list : Premier and Minister of the Interior and Minister of Worship, M. Dnpuy; Publio Works, M. Barthou; Education and Arts, M. Leyque; Commerce, M. Lorties; Husbandry, M. Vigier; Colo nies, M. Deliasse; Justice, M. Querin; Marine, M. Felix Fanre; Finance, M. Poincaire. The portfolio of Minister of War ha not yet been bestowed, but, it is said, will go to M. Hanloux. M. Gam bon haa declined to become Minister of War. I NATIONAL CAPITAL NEWS. Mitchell ha had passed in the Senate a resolution making inquiries aa to the boundary line of the Klamath Indian reservation, over which there is contro versy. The Fish Commission has submitted to the Senate a report showing the re sult of fish-planting in the Columbia river and making recommendations for the successful propagation of salmon and shad. Representative Raynor has presented a resolution calling on the President to make a demand upon the Russian gov ernment that American citizens shall have the right of entry, travel and so journ in Russia that citizens of Russia in the United States have according to the treaty stipulations. - The resolution grew out of the refusal of Russia to ad mit Rabbi Krauskopf. Colonel Fred C. Ainsworth, chief of records of the pension division, indicted formanslaughteronaccountof the Ford's theater disaster last June, in which more than a score of government clerks were killed, ia now free. Justice McComas of the Criminal Court ordered the indict ment quashed, because it did not show the falling of the building wo due to the personal neglect of Ainsworth. Commissioner Lamoreaux of the Gen eral Land Office has submitted to Secre tary Smith a recommendation for au thority to prepare a proclamation for the signature of the President restoring to mineral location and entry all the mineral lands in the "Bohemia mining district" within the limits of the Cascade range and forest reserve in Oregon. Hill asked unanimous consent in the Senate to consider the joint resolution parsed by the House giving the Secre tary of War authority under the last sundry civil-appropriation act to in stitute condemnation proceedings to secure lands near Gettysburg battlefield. Judge Dallas, he explained, had held the language of that act was not broad enough to warrant condemnation pro ceedings. Cockrell insisted that the resolution should go to the Committee on Military Affairs, and it was so re ferred. The official report of the Naval Board which conducted the recent trial of the Columbia was submitted to Secretary McAdoo. It makes it evident that the Columbia is one of the finest vessels afloat. On her way down the Delaware she struck some drift logs, and as a re sult several of her plates were dented. The ship bos gone into the dock to per mit of examination. Mr. McAdoo says that Captain Sumner was free from blame, as the vessel was in the hands of a competent pilot and the damage was trifling. A. L. Randall, Chairman of the Inter national Typographical Union Commit tee on Government Ownership of Tele graphs, has written a letter to Postmaster-General Bissell, accusing him of never having read the postal telegraph bill, on which he recently reported ad versely to Chairman Wise of the House Committee on Commerce. Mr. Randall says Mr. Bissell evidently took it for granted the bill before him was the Wan amaker bill of the Fifty-first Congress. He then calls attention to the govern ment ownership of telegraphs in other countries, and asks : "Are not the peo ple of this country as capable of con ducting the government telegraph as those of European nations?" This is followed up with this threat: " The In ternational Typographical Union has inaugurated this movement. It will do its utmost to defeat any man "found working or voting against the great re form, regardless of party affiliations." Delegate Joseph has introduced a bill for the irrigation of arid government lands, which is of interest not only to New Mexico, which he represents, but to California and every other State where there are arid lands. The bill provides for the appointment of an irrigation commission to consist of government en gineers to saperviBe the work. The Sec retary of the Interior is authorized to have geological surveys made and maps prepared for the use of the commission. Three per cent bonds are to be issued to pay the expense of the work. When ever a sufficient amount of arid land has been irrigated it is to be opened for set tlement and sold to heads of families at 10 per cent above the actual cost of rec lamation. The bill also provides for the sale of timber on the public domain in square quarter sections to the highest cash bidder. Irrigation experts who have examined this bill think it is the best scheme yet proposed for the recla mation of arid lands. The Senate, Mills alone not voting, has adopted a resolution declaring the United States will not interfere with the affairs of the Hawaiian Islands, and the United States will regard interference by any foreign power as an unfriendly act- The resolution adopted was intro duced by Turpie, and reads as follows: "Resolved by the Senate of the United States that it belongs wholly to the people of the Hawaiian Islands to establish and maintain their own form of government and domestic policy; that the United States ought not in any way to interfere therewith, and the interference in the political affairs of those islands by any other government will be regarded as an act unfriendly to the United States." Mills of Texas explained that the resolu tion did not meet his approval, although he would not vote against it. Believing this government has overthrown the ex isting government of Hawaii, he thought it the duty of the United States to tear down the oligarchy set up in its name. - The Senate Sugar Trust Investigating Committee examined Senators Voorhees, Jones and Vest of the Finance Commit tee in regard to the allegations concern ing the efforts of the Sugar Trust to in fluence legislation. They made a general denial of all the charges made of the ex ercise of influence by the Sugar Trust, and specifically contradicted the story that Secretary Carlisle had made a secret visit to the committee and demanded that the sugar interests be protected be cause of the Democratic party's indebt edness to the Sugar Trust. They agreed that Mr. Carlisle had never made such a visit to the committee, and stated that no such demand had ever been made upon the committee for the reasons given in Edwards' letter or any other account. They also denied the report that a meet ing had been held by the committee on the Sunday before the tariff bill was re ported for the consideration of the sugar schedule, and said that, if the sugar people had been together in any adjacent room while the committee was in session at any time, they were not cognizant of the fact. Senator Vest denied that he had informed Joe Rickey of the progress of the committee in its consideration of the suirar schedule while the bill was in committee. TURPLN'S SECRET SOLD He Turns His War Machine Over to Germany, CAUSES A SENSATION IN FRANCE Angered at the Rarnsal of France tm Fnrchaaa Bis Latest Invention, Ha Leaves the Country and Sells It to Power. Composing tba Drelbund. Paris. Ia Patrie has announced that the notorious Turpin, whose name some time ago came prominently before the public in connection with the invention of the explosive known as melenite, and who was subsequently imprisoned, an gered at the" refusal of France to pur chase his latest invention, baa left the country and sold to the powers compos ing the dreibuad the secret of the man ufacture of a terrible war machine.
