WILL NOT RESIGN continued fron page one might have bwrj different, it ie pre dicted. If a delegation r.f the business-meD had gone to the senator some time ago, before aoy sgitatoo had bef cieated, snd if these men had suggpsted that, for the welfare of the stale and its future, it wa beet for S na'nr Mitchell t step aside, euch action might have borne fruit, though tb s, too, is doubtful .1 . L- 1 11 in the minaa 01 mose wuu euuum know. W ile ths Fenatop txpretses no opinion one way or the other, it ie argued by those who hive been his confidant ihit the resignation of the senator aid the con qnent ap pointrriet.t of a democrat by Gover nor Chtmberlaia to fill the vacan cy would do n 1 good to the state at this t:me. I'- is contended tbat no mir, no matter how strong in per- s-u ality or barked by what tower, could go f'rp-h into the & tints poe- . e Eed of ir.flaer or sr ngta. And no m tter botf stroDg the ruse, bis appointment as a demo-Tat would in a great m-iiicure annul h:s cBpic it? f r pf rv;ce. Senator Mitchell n edc the office, it is taid, to cany bt- c. ss to its final adjudication before the su-p-err.e court. Hi is not only bro ken i 1 J e lib hut in wealth as well. Tje txpencis of the trial were te'vj ar.d the costs of the supreme court are not light. 1 he bnet sub mitted by th defense was a volum inous document of some 800 jaee prepared at a cost of virtually 1,000. Added t) this aie many o'hT expense" all of which drain heavily upon the puree, and tom-et these calls reouires that Senator Mitchell have an income. Without the ea'ary coming from bis offic, which he still holds, there would be no funds to meet the expanses of the appeal upon which the Bena'or bases his stle remaining hope. 'But what do Senator Mitchell a friends think of the resignation question?" is the question asked, nd the answer comes in a pessim istic spirit. "Friends?" Wnere are his friends? Who are they that they did Dot seek after his welfare while he rested an aged and a eick man in the hospital with a broken rib? If that accident bad come before this trouble a special man would have had to be stationed at the hospital door with a basket to take the cards tbat would have been sent np. There are no friends to think of hiB resignation." Through all of the discussion Senator Mitchell goes his way si lently. He will neither deny nor affirm. He refuses to make any statement to forecast any future happening. He is uncommunica tive and he is unlikely to resign. Philadelphia, No. 1. At a meet ing of the Geographical Society of Philadelphia tonight, the president, Henry G. Bryant, the' well-known explorer, made the announcement that two of the Bryant-Melville ca?k- which were sent adrift sever al years ago in the Polar Sea have turned up. It was suggested some years ago by Rear-Admiral Gaorge W. Melville that valuble data con cernios the tpeed and direction of Arctic currents might be obtained by Betting adrift specially construct ed caeka in the Arctic Ocean. Ad mlral Melville and Mr. Bryant had 5O casks constructed and thrown overboard by United S ates revenue cutters and whaling ships. Mr. Bryant announced that he had j ast beard from two of tbe casks The first was thrown overboard bv tbe revenue cutter Bear on August 2I, 1901, about 85 miles northwest of Wrangle Island, and recovered by Captain A. G. Christianson on August 17, 1902, near tbe mouth Kolyching Bay on the coast of Si beria. In the course of oca year less four days, it had traveled 380 miles to tbe southeast, and was probably influenced by local cur rents. The other cask was placed on an ice floe northwest of Point Barrow, Alaska, in latitude 71:53 N. and longitude 164:s0 W., by the steam whaler Alexander on September 13, i899. It was recovered one mile east of Cape Banda Nuhr, ou the Northern coast of Iceland, June 7, 1905. Mr. Bryant said the position of the second caek proved the ex istence of a current from Bshring Strait around the circumpolar ba sin to the Arctic Ocean, Warsaw, Nov. 2. Poland is aronsed again, and another attempt is being made to regain independ ence. Rioting is now in progress in every section of Russian Poland, and the people are shooting down without mercy soldiers of the czar attempting to interfere with their freedom and speech. Dozens of processions of socialists and anti RusBiaBS have been pass ing through the streets during . the past 24 hours, and all 1 efforts on the part of the authorities to check them have so far been without avail. There have been a number of d llisions between soldiers and the popalacp, but in nearly every instance the uniformed men have been forced to retreat and lewe the mob in poseeeeioo of the thorough fare. Not since the last unsuccessful revolutionary movement wes stamp ed out through the traitorism of members of it e committee of free dom has PjlanJ been so inflamed. Funds there are in plenty, thanks to the revolutionary committees of G-eat B rain acd the United States and lor weika errns have been smuggled over the fiootier and plic d where tbey are now availa ble. Regular troops now ojn band are outmrnbered five t) one by mal-fs able to bear arms in Poland, and the reeervisiB are honeycombed wi;b the doctrine of rebellion, and are likely to aid the people rather than obfy the commands of their OTi-rers. ' Salem, Or., O t. 31. "There is n us mincing matters any longer," said S ate Senator Squire Farra-, in discusaine tha resignations ot Sentt r Mitchell end Representa tives Williamson and Hermann. "I br.v-! stood up lor there men un til today and have condor. ed all their offenses, as have the people of tbia stU, but the position uken by tbe Oregonian today in its leading editorial is exactly right and prop er and tbe tbree men under a cloud should resign. It is iiot a question of guilt or innocpnee. These men can be of r,o further service tn tbe ttate as representatives at Wash ington and they should make way for men who can go there and look after tbe state's interest1'. I pre sume Governor C amberla;n would appoint a democrat to fill tbe va cancy if one existed. So far as I can see, that would do no barm. It is better for us tJ have a good dem ocrat for senator than a bad repub lican. If Mitchell, Williamson and Hermann consider tbe welfare of tbe state and of the republican party they will resign." C lfax, Wash., Oct. 30. Myrtle Tipton, the 18-year-old girl horse thief, who stole three horses, a wag on and harness from Lolo, a Cneur d'Alene Indian, for whom she had been working as a boy farmhand, is an Oregon girl, having been born at Roseburg, where she lived with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tipton, until two years ago. She pleaded guilty today to the charge of bringing stolen property into the state. Judge Chad wick would not accept her plsa, but postponed th case, and will appoint an attorney to look after her interest". Myrtle declared she does not want an attorney, and boasted that she is too old to be sent to the Reform School, but most go to' the peniten tiary. Strangely enough, although she declares she prefers male to te male attire, she spent the entire suai, $225, received from the sale of tl team and wagon, for female at ti Myrtle is the youngest ofninechil (Wo.
