Usteuing members of the bench and

veled at tiie adroitness with which this
document was attacked. It was done
with such skill and cleverness, for each
count was taken up and riddled and
tconed at that now the government
must make answer.
The attack upon the indictment fol
lowed the lines of the argument that
ex-Senator Thurston had made before
Judge le Haven. He tUted that the
indictment held that Senator Mitchell
had received money from Kriht, and be
showed by the testimony of both Kribt
and Tanner, that Kriht had never paid
money to the defendant. The tpeaker
held that before the government could
mate tint count in tbe indictment
ttick, it must prove that Senator Mitch
ell had received bit payment either in
gold, silver or currency. He cited that
the Supreme court had held that
check was not money, and contended
that when Tanner deoeited the Kribt
checks, those checks were purchased by
the bank, waa their proerty to burn or
tear up if they wished. The money
that the senator received as hit share
of the monthly receipt of the firm's
business, no matter if that share con
tained a part of the Krife' payment,
could not be construed at having been
paid to Senator Mitchell by kribt

Tbe local trouble was clearing np satis
factorily, according to r. Scudder.

RUSSIAN OFFICIALS FRANTIC
Grave Fcart That Army May Join in
Rtvolt of Navy.
St. Petersburg, July 1 . Tbe Rassian
government, although it hsa been al
most paralysed by tb terrible event
at Odessa and tbe new that the sailors
at Libaa have also mutinied, it making
desperate and even frantic effort to
stamp out the flame of revolution be
fore tbey can spread to thearmy, which
is now the last bulwark of the an toe
racy.
With Poland red with the spirit of
revolt, the Caucasus already almost in
a ttate of civil war, agrarian disorder
spreading rapidly, the whole country
profoundly stirred and the intelligent
classea arrayed against the government,
all condition seem ripe for the long
predicted revolution.
Tbe first act of the government after
dispatching Admiral Kruger's squadron
from Sebastopol wa to summon tbe
Kniaa Potemkine, whose mutineers
have now been joined by the crew of
tb torpedo boat which accompanied
it to Odessa, to surrender, under the
threat ol firing upon and linking the
vessel. This wa followed by the dec
laration of martial law at Odessa and
Libau and the slothing of the military
commander witn plenary power.
Tbe newly formed council lor imper
tal defense met last night nnder the
presidency of Grand Duke Nicholas,
and was in session long after midnight.
tfeyond toe tact that tha temper ol
the army wa 'considered at length.
nothing is known aa to what occurred
in the council or regarding the decis
ion at which it arrived.
Great fear it expressed that many
regiment are honeycombed with sedi
tion, and there it grave doubt of their
loyalty should they tie called upon to
Ore on tbe revolutionist. Indeed the
moet startling stories involving the un
reliability .of the troops are being re
peated in St. Petersburg, but the truth
of many of them is more than questionable.
Fast Train Goe Into Ditch.
Cleveland, July 1. A fast esat bound
passenger train on the Cleveland-Pittsburg
branch of the Pennsylvania road
wa derailed and wrecked near Atwa-
ter, 0., today. At least one passenger
was killed, while a dozen others were
injured. The train is one of the fastest
between Cleveland and Philadelphia,
making the run ol 140 mile between
the two cities in three hour and 15
minute. When the accident oc
curred, the train wa probably running
50 miles an hour. A section crew was
repairing the track.

Chicago, III., June 30. Cabling
from St. Petersburg, tbe Chicago Daily
Kewt correspondent says:
Nicholas has been decided in favor
of peace in tbe Far Kast on account of
the revolution in Poland. It bas been
arranged wuri tne kaiser mat in case
of revolt iu Poland, German troops will
occupy Warsaw, and that thus the czar
might continue to dispatch the Russian
garnsions in Poland to the front.
I ne roles, learning of this arrange.
merit, made preparations to declare
their independence, with tbe support
of the Prussian Polish province! of
Poten and Silesia. This ha paralyzed
to a certain extent tbe kaiser a Moroc
co scneme and compelled the czar
promptly to consent to President Roose
velt's proposals for peace. Count I
tocki, tbe head of tbe famous Polish
house of that name, said to your corre
spondent today:
i n less immediate measure are
taken, Russia will shrink to its former
dimensions, in Peter the Great's time
The Nationalists, Socialists, Jews and
Rutbeniana of Poland demand autono
my. They refuse to delay. The mo
ment it favorable to their wishes. The
Hapsburg monarchy is falling asunder
Hungary is on the point of separating
from the dual empire. Herr Schnorer,
the Aubtrian-German spokemssn, bold
ly proclaims in tbe reicbstag the alle
giance of bis party to tbe German em
peror.
"Only the Slavs, Pole and Bohemians
are npbolding the shattered empire of
the liapsburgs. Tbe emperor s death
will be the signal for the country s en
slavement by Germany. Should the
czar pertevere in bis despotism, 30,
000,000 cultivated Western Slavs, in
Poland and Bohemia, will found a state
to resist the yoke of tbe czar and
kaiser."
Russia bas lost faith in the czar'
promise and is disgusted with the du
plicity of the bureaucracy. Every

flowed freely yesterday in tbe street of
Warsaw, Lodz, Kiev, Riga, Odes
Vilna and other centers.
A PATHETIC PLEA.
Judge Bennett Declare Prosecution
of Mitchell To Be a Plot.
Portland, June 30. Another day
will send to the jury tbe case of Sena
tor Mitchell, who bas been on trial be
fore Judge De Haven in tbe United
States court. Yesterday morning when
court was convened Judge Bennett be
gan his argument in behalf of the de
fense, a plea that was attractive in sen
timent, impressive in delievry, and
undoubtedly one of the greatest efforts
ever attempted by this well-known
lawyer. "
For more than three and a bait boors
Judge Bennett held the closest atten
tion of all within bearing. When he
closed at 3:35 a blur of tear dimmed
the eyes of tbe senator and many of his
closest friends were much affected
Tbe attorney's theme throughout wa
that Senator Mitchell waa not guilty
of any wrongdoing, and that the de
fendant was the victim of a plot en

hind tbe prosecution. It was a plot
brought to a culmination by United
State District Attorney Heney, whoee

Tanner a a rat in a trap, who, when
once caught, waa a willing tool in the
hands 01 jur. Heney in order to save

HENEY FINISHES.
Government i Heard and Defans
Presents It Case.
Portland. June 29. District Attor
ney Heney spoke for three hoars in th
United State court yesterday. With
hardly a change of muscle. Senator
Mitchell sat through this verbal lash
ing. Once, while holding a whis
pered consultation with Judge Bennett,
he shook his finger. His hand wa
pointed toward Mr. Heney. Whether
he was protesting at something that the
speaker was saying i not known, bnt
his counsel shook his head, and th
senator settled back in his chair. Dar
ing tbe long year of his public career
Senator Mitchell must have been the
storm -center of more than one stormy
verbal outburst. Perhaps during most
of these controversies he was so placed
that he could fight back by word of
mouth. Perhaps during bis career a
a lawyer, he ha given client before
the bar, just such another denuncia
tion, as he received yeet rday, but in
all oi hi varied career he ha never
been bound and gagged r he was dur
ing all the hour that he wa forced to
listen to what Mr. Heney wa saving.
Hi dignity as a senator wa brushed
aside with a single breath. Mr. Heney
was pounding into tbe ears ol the jury
the fact that it was John H. Mitchell
who waa not above the law, and not
Senator Mitchell, who was on trial.
It bad been expected that Mr. Heney
would finish his argument by noon.
When the court convened be announced
that he would try to close at that time,
but when the noon hour came he wa
still an hour away from the end.
It is believed that Judge Bennett
will take np the entire day in hi argu
ment. Ex-Senator Thurston will he
heard after this, and Mr. Heney will
close for the government, so the indi
cations are that tbe case will not go to
the jury nntil late Friday afternoon.
and perhaps not untit some time Saturday.
