However the nation is prepared
to take care of itself, if need be, by
force of arms. - Every - reparation
has been completed to repel attack

Washington, Jane 2. Indica
tions today are that Judge Gilbert's
designation of Judge De Haven, of
San Franciaco, to try the land
fraud cases in Oregon will stand.

the Cabinet meeting that a ques
tion had been raised as to the right
ofVany official,- either President
Roosevelt, the department of jus
tice j)r Judge Gilbert, to make such
a designation, but that, if anybody
bad that authority, it was Judge

Riverton, Or. June-2. Clarence
Davie, a young rancher at Remote,
havina lost some young kids, sus
pected panthers, and, going in
search last night; ran upon the
oredatorv animal unexpectedly
Hearing his dog barking in a small
clump of bushes, he went to the
snot and found a large panther in
the act of devouring a young kid
Having nothing with him but a re
volver, he emptied the contents in
to the animal's body. As,it was
apparently dead he pulled it from
the busbe?, whereupon the beast
came to life and attacked him. He
ran to the fence near by pursued by
the panther, and climbed over. The
animal did not follow at once, but
remained to fight the dog,- which
again had attacked him. At this
moment a brother of young Davis
appeared on the scene with a rifle
and killed the animal. -

memory of the Russian sailors who
had lost their lives in the naval dis
aster in the Sea of Japan. The
members of the orchestra became
alarmed and fled from the platform
whan M. Novikoff, ex-mayor ot
Baku,- rose and Eaid:
"Let us all by rising show re
spect for the victims Down , with
the war. We have- had enough
blood.'' . '
Some 80 policemen entered the
farther end of the ball and elbowed
their way through the crowd to
wards M. Novikoff, whereupon cries
were raised of: Let us attack the
police.'; Chairs were seized and
hurled at the police, the crowd be
ing led by a colonel with a drawn
sword. The policemen fled precip
itately. Order being restored a
number of speeches were delivered
on the national crisis. "
Suddenly the police, reinforced
to between ?oo and 300, . again in
vaded the ball and rushed, on the
audience with drawn swords. The
people defended themselves with
chairs and sticks, but after ten min
utes were driven from the hall into
the garden, where there was a bat

their rifles to their shoulders pre

has reached Lord Landedowne,
British foreign secretary, which in
timates that Norway is on the verge

new Kingdom or a new republic td
the family of separate European
states. An official of the foreign
office said to lay: N .
, The government of Christiania i?
engaged in matters the details of
which suggest plans for a career of
absolute, independence. Nobody
could deplore the Swedish-Norwe
gian split' more than - we do, At
the very least, it will cause a period
of general . uncertainty,' and may
precipitate a reign of political events
of the gravest character, - This is
particularly true at this moment,
when Germany is showiog a tenden
cy to recklessness. - -
''Our policy of marrying a British
princess to a iSwedish p.ince is thus
helping little to increase our "influ
ence at Stockholm. It will loee
much of the desired effect if Swed
en should be deprived of one-third
or more of its importance as a mil
itary factor. Since the union seems
doomed, Britain will try to keep
the two independent nations under
one sovereign and thus rstain -a
kind of bold on the Scandinavian
peninsula." '

Paris, June 3. Charles Malato,
who is accused by the French po
lice of organizing a plot to assassin
ate King Alfoneo of Spain, and who
has been arrested on this charge, is
well known in political and 1 litera
ry circles.; The prisoner belongs
to an ancient and noble Neapolitan
family. His grandfather, Count
M'lato, was commander-in-Chief of
ine arrcy 01 the last King 01 apies.
He had the ra'nk of " field marshal,
and suppressed the popular insur
rection against the dynasty with
vigor. Thf d marshal's son,
Charles' father, took the side of the
Commune in Parifv and was ban
shed for life in the penal settle
ment of new Caledonia, where
Charles was born. : . .
After the general amnesty ex
tended to the ' condemned anarch
ists and. communists, Charles and
his father, :, who is now over 90
years old, came to Paris. For a
time Charles Malato . collaborated
with Henri Rochefort: but they dis
agreed on the Dreyfus case, Malato
taking the. side of the condemned
captain. Socialist . journals have
since then received his articles,
which: are considered : remarkable
for their-polished literary style.

JJoiEe, Idaho, June 6. A re
markable casa of stroke by light
ning is reported rom Cassia conn
ty; the victim being Thomas Thorn
as, a well-known sheepman. He
was out at his camp and assisting
in marking lambs. A storm came up
and a bolt of lightning struck him
He seemed to rise some feet into
the air and dropped back to the
ground, apparently dead.
It was found that his heart still
beat, and efforts were made to re
vive him. After eeven hours he
regained consciousness and seems
to be in a fair way to recovery.
It was ascertained that the elec
tric current came first in contact
with the right side of Mr. Thomas'
head, singeing bis hair, then passing
down his right cheek, burning off
the mustache ou that side, passing
down upon his chest, ; where the
current separated and continued on
downward, encircling the abdomen,
and came together, to again - sepa
rate at the loins, and oce current
passed down each leg in . front of
the knee, where each' made a half
circle, changed to the calf and on
down, to the heel and then into the
ground,, tearing each shoa to pieces.
The course of the electric cuirent
upon the body, from where it came
in contact to the teet, which are
bruised and swollen, is marked , by
deep burns which, although painful,
are not considered to have reached
any vital part that may jeopardize
Mr. Thomas' final recovery.
Manila, June 3. Rear-Admiral
Enquist, who was commander of
the heavy cruiser squadron of the
Russian fleet, arrived in the bay at
9 o'clock this morning on board his .
flagship, the protected cruiser Au
rora, accompanied by the protected
cruisers Oleg and Jemtchug. AH
the vessels were more or less dam
aged and there were many : wound
ed men on board. -
Rear-Admiral Train, " on ; board
his flagship, the battle ship Ohio,
with the Wiscocsin, Oregon, Ral- '
eigh and Cincinnati, was outside
Corregidor Islands, maneuvering,
when the Aurora saluted ' with 13
guns and the Ohio answered..
Admiral Train and his squadron .
accompanied the Russian vessels to
Manila.': ; . . .
In an interview, Rear-Admiral -
Enquist's executive officer said:
'AV hen the battle began, the Ad
miral was aboard the "cruiser Oleg,
i.:.u - 1 t M.! ' - 1
wuicu was uib a uumuerui times uy
the large shot. There was an 4c
cessent rain of shot from quick-fir
ing guns and the, shiprr waaisoon
badly damaged.- s v ; '
"The admiral transfeired his nas,
to the Aurora, which then drew th
combined fire of many torpedo-boat
destroyers at close range and the at
tack of eubmarines. We were over
whelmed by the latter. A mist
arising, we made a dash lor the op
ening sea, and were followed by ths
Oleg and Jemptchug.'' 7.
Rear-Admiral Enquist is unin
jured. Captain Egorieff, of the Au
rora, was killed by a shell which
struck the conning tower, and be
was buried at sea the ; day before
reaching Manila. On the Aurora
three officers were, wounded, 20 of
the crew were killed and 83 were
wounded. '
When a complete report off" the
arrival of the ships at Manila has
bee made by Rear-Admiral Train,
aiay be determined by this gov
ernment that the ships must be in
terned, as in the case in the Lena
incident. Instructions were cabled
to Rear-Admiral Train this evening
to consider what steps it would be
necessary for him to take in case
Admiral Enquht should request
that his vessels should be interned.
It is the opinion in official circles
that the cruisers will be dismantled
aod held at Manila until the con
clusion of hostilities, and that the
request for their interment will
come from the Russian admiral as
soon as he shall have heard from
the St. Petersburg government.

Cuban Diarrhoea. .
TJ. S. soldiers who served in Cuba dur
ing the Spanish war know what this dis
ease is, and that ordinary remedies have
little more effect than so much water.
Cuban Diarrhoea is almost as severe and
dangerous . as a mild attack of cholera.
There is one remedy, however, that can
always be depended npon as will be seen
by the following certificate from Mrs.
Minnie Jacobs of Houston. Texas: ' "I
hereby certify that Chamberlain's Colic,
(Jholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured
my husband of a severe attack of Cuban
Diarrhoea, which he brought home from.
Cuba. We had several doctors but they
did him no good. One bottle of this rem
edy cured him, as our neighbors will tes-
tify I thank God for so valuable a med
icine." For sale by Graham & Worthamv
