His attorneys claimed the discovery of .new evidence, and Governor Rogers referred to these officials the duty of hearing it. The inquiry took on many of the features of a regular trial. It was completed this afternoon, and the officials telegraphed Governor Rogers that noth ing new had been developed that would raise a reasonable doubt as to the identity of the man who fired the fatal shot. "Webster's attorneys declared that they considered the hearing a judicial pro ceeding and would appeal to the Supreme Court, but Judge Prather said no appeal could lie. There Is scarcely a doubt that "Webster will be hanged Friday. Xo Respite Granted. OLTMPIA, March 2Z.

Governor Rogers, the Governor today stated that, as far as he was concerned, he had made a final dis position of the case when he turned the alleged new evidence over to Judges Pra ther and Moore for examination.

Their Lovr Conception of Duty and of His Moral Government. VANCOUVER, Wash., March 26. (To the Editor.) Your editorial remarks in The Oregonian of the 15th Inst., relative to Lord Roberts' dispatch to the Queen, contain a great deal of truth done up In a small package. The tendency of modern nations to thank God for victory In battle, and to make great demonstrations of joy, feast ing and prayer. Is but a survival of the beliefs and customs of the ancient pagan peoples who made war at the command of their gods and sacrificed, perhaps, hu man victims to celebrate victory or ap pease the anger of the gods In case of de feat. Truly "Godamlths are the moat nu merous class of mechanicians known among men," for every man has his God or conception of God, and this Is why, perhaps, that all attempts to enforce stated beliefs have resulted In confusion. "No nation or individual has ever ris en above their conception of God." The Israelltlsh nation under Moses and other leaders and prophets, believed in a God with all common attributes of humanity; anger. Jealousy, etc, a God to be appeased by bloody sacrifices and imposing cere monies. And what a record of blood they left behind them! We find them thanking God for victory oTer the heathen, much as we do in these modern times. True we no longer offer burnt sacrifices to an angry or jealous God, nor, in taking "promised lands" do we "utterly destroy all that breathe"; still wars go on at the command of modern "profits," and civili zation and the right to private belief are being carried forward to the ends of the earth. We speak of our war with Spain as a holy war, and our present duties in the Philippines as specially placed upon us by God, and we certainly have abundant rea son for thanks and to pray for strength to carry out our obligations justly; yet Spain entered that war with God's special blessing, bestowed by the Pope upon her arms, and would, no doubt, have thanked God for victory more fervently than we have. From the same Bible and a belief in the same God, the Boer Justifies his holding of slaveB and concubines, and the Briton Justifies his extension of empire and the hammering of modern ideas of justice and equality Into the thick skulls of the Boers. It has been said that since the birth of the Prince of Peace, over 2,000,000,000 of men have lost their lives on the field of battle. Of this vast number a goodly portion have been sacrificed by the differ ences of men's conception of his message and a tendency to force the other fellow to believe as I do. "There is a destiny that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will"; and. In the continued evolution and development of the race, men may arrive at a sufficient knowledge of the divine purpose to cease killing each other and then celebrating the event by prayers and thanksgiving In His name. By the way, here Is a nut for some theo logian to crack, and one which I have never heard hammered In the pulpit, or mentioned in Sunday school. What re lation is the Lord of the children of Israel to the one we are commanded to worship? Is the Lord who sent lying spirits to stir up strife and who commanded to slay innocent women and children di recting the bloody murders of that period one with the Lord who "died" on Cal vary, and whose message was peace on earth and good will to men? One might, with propriety give thanks to the God of Moses for the slaughter of his enemy, but not to the gentle Christ who said "forgive your enemy," and even on the cross forgave the Ignorant mob who were taking his human life. D. E. LUNSFORD. Rare Books. New York Herald. How much the passion of 'book-collecting cost Augustln Daly no one knows. There were bills and vouchers among his papers which footed up $300,000. but this by no means accounted for all his treasures. Unique among th'e 3787 lots in the cata logue is a green morocco case which con tains the original title deeds of the house in Pall Mall which the Merry Monarch gave to Nell Gwyn. There are five parch ment 'documents, and one bears the great seal of England in wax. Three times on the paxchment appears Nell Gwyn's signa ture. Mr. Daly paid J3S0Q for these deeds. Another treasure is the original manu script of the "School for Scandal," in Sheridan's handwriting, with the note sub mitting it to the Lord Chamberlain, May 7, 1777. Mr. Daly bought this for about $350. t HOTEL ARRIVALS. THE PORTLAND. L R Prince, Boston Arnold Pollak.

CHANGE IN -HOP PLANS PRO RATA DIVISION FOUND TO BE IMPRACTICABLE. Mortgagees Raise Objections, and Bine Mold Also Makes Trouble for the Original Scheme. GERVAIS, Or., March 28. The directors of the Oregon Hopgrowers' Association have decided to make a radical and very Important change in the plan of dividing the proceeds of the sales of association hops. According to a circular letter that has been received by hopgrowers who turned their hops Into the pool, it has been found impracticable to divide the proceeds pro rata, and it is now proposed to pay each member of tbo association the net proceeds of his hops as soon as they are sold. Under the original plan, which has been in force until now, the hops turned over to the association were classified and the owners of hops in each class were to receive the proceeds of the sales of that class of hops, In proportion to the quan tity of hops each man owned. Each man who put his hops into the pool signed on agreement that the division should be made In that manner. Although the asso ciation has been selling hops for several months, no division of proceeds has been made, and growers have become dissatis fied. According to tb circular letter received I today, there are several reasons for the change In the plan. It Is stated that growers want their money as soon as their hops are sold, and that men who hold mortgages upon the hops are unwilling to consent to the pro rata arrangement. It is also stated In the letter that the blue mold which has appeared makes it Im possible to sell hops as of the class under which they were listed when received. This being the case. It appears that if the old plan were adhered to, a grower who turned in first-class hops that were cared forso as to be clean now would have to accept? the same price as a man who turned in hops that were apparently first class but are now moldy and of little value. Each circular letter is accompanied with an agreement which growers are asked to sign, thereby consenting to the new ar rangement. How the new plan will be re ceived by those whose hops have become moldy since being turned over to the asso ciation. Is a question. PATENTS FOR INDIAN LANDS. Have Been Issued to Allottees on Umatilla Reservation. PENDLETON, Or., March 2S. Major Charles Wilkins, Indian Agent at the Umatilla reservation here, has received notification from Indian Commissioner Jones, of 'Washington, that patents have been issued to all allottees on the Uma tilla reservation, and that these patents have been mailed to his address. The number of patents which have been sent is about S50, that being the number of al lotments made to the members of the tribes on the reservation, the "Walla "Wallas, the Umatlllas and the CaJ-uses, in 1S9L It is not understood hero just what is the meaning of Commissioner Jones' let ter, nor what will be the exact status of these allotted lands upon the receipt of these patents, inasmuch as the allotments were made under a law providing that the Government would hold the lands in trust for a period of 23 years from the year 1S91, there being 16 years remaining under that provision of the law. It is not known at the present time whether these patents are a transfer in full of title from the Government to the Indians or merely What might be called preliminary patents, evidencing the allotment and the pros pective title which the allottee has in the land he holds. The Indians have been notified that their patents are en route from "Washington. They will refuse at the present time to accept them, or at any rate, have Indi cated a desire to wait before receiving the instruments. Their reason for hesi tating In the matter Is that they desire to escape taxation. They fear that If they accept the patents they will at once bo compelled to go upon the assessment roll, and to pay annually their share of the public burden of taxation. It Is a matter of some Importance to the people of this county, since the al lotments aggregate no less than 80,000 acres, and the land Is valued at not less than $2000 a quarter, making the total valuation of the property thus added to the taxable llsl $1,000,000. On other reservations In similar In stances the Indians have refused to ac cept the patents, and, persisting in their course, have apparently been upheld by the Government This is notable on the "Warm Springs reservation, where, sev eral years ago, patents were offered and refused by the Indians, and have not, up Jo this time, been accepted. ' Junketing Is Useless. According to a telegram received from Indian Commissioner Jones by Agent "Wil kins, all the Junketing to "Washington engaged In by Indian chieftains and legal representatives who accompanied them are of no avalL Judging from the com missioner's telegram, the big men of the tribes will return from the National cap ital with no fruits resulting from their missions. Paul Bhow-a-way and Peo have been in Washington for some weeks, and Toung Chief and No Shirt were appoint ed at a later pow-wow to prodeed thither and Interview the great father on subjects pertaining to reservation matters. At the meeting when Young Chief and No Shirt were appointed ambassadors to Washington from the royal courts of the tribes here. Agent "Wllklns was also re quested by the Indians to accompany them. Being doubtful of the propriety of this step and desirous of following care fully the wishes of the department. Ma jor Wllklns telegraphed to Washington for Instructions In the premises. The Commissioner replied tersely, but pointed ly: "Wish no delegations to visit Wash ington from Indian agencies. Let griev ances be submitted In letter through proper channels, and prompt attention will be paid them." This settles the matter, and Agent Wll klns and the two chiefs who were to go with him have given up the trip. LIVESTOCK BUYER QUITS. Says He's Out of the Market Prices Asked Are Too Hlh. Pendleton East Oregonian. Harry S. Knox, who represents the Swift Packing Company's Interests In this section, departed this morning for Chicago. "I am called in," said Mr. Knox, "with Instructions to attempt no more buying In the West during the present season. Only radical changes and unlooked for conditions will bring any of our buyers Into this field prior to the fall." Mr. Knox was asked why ho was or dered to report at the home office. "Simply because every grower of live stock In this country has such high ideas as to prices that we cannot do business with them. They mean prices which are not consistent with the market conditions present and prospective. The livestock raiser, like the wheatgrower, in this re gion, has apparently decided to combine the business of producing with that of speculating. The two vocations are en tirely separate. The experience of the wheatraiser during the past two years has demonstrated that holding for higher prices Is unprofitable. There Is no essen tial difference between the livestock and grain markets so far as concerns the ele ment of speculation. It is an adage in the East and Middle West that selling at the close of the harvest Is more prof itable than, to hold. This would be wise for the stockman, also. "I am. I believe, voicing the sentiments of all the buyers for Eastern houses in.

FARMERS GETTING OUT OF THE RUT Creameries, Livestock and Poultry Taking; Place of "Wheat and Hops. INDEPENDENCE, Or., March 27. A radical change has taken place In the farming community of Polk County In the last few months greater than In five years before. The low prices for the large crops raised In this part of the country last year, such as wheat and hops, set the farmers to thinking, and now, instead of putting In great fields of wheat, tamo grasses are being sown and taking tho place of the largo wheat fields. Many hopyards have been plowed up and planted to other crops, principally potatoes, as tho bottom land Is better adapted to this crop than the upland Is. Many of the farmers about this city have already begun to pre pare for keeping cows and supplying the creamery at this place with milk, and to do this several hundred extra cows will be brought to this vicinity. Plans are under way to bring about 100 head of fine Jersey cows from tho Tillamook country for this purpose. Besides this, the farmers are providing themselves with a few head of cattle that will do to turn off for beef, and sheep, goats and hogs are claiming a great deal of attention. The chicken business has also taken the attention of a great many in this vicinity. Found Thieves In a Saloon. DALLAS, Or., March 28. Last night the Corner saloon In Dallas was burglarized.

McColloch, a lawyer, was badly burned last Friday evening at the opera house, in Sumpter, from an accidental explosion of a quantity of gasoline. He was engaged In building a fire. In some manner the janitor of the building had changed the cans containing kerosene and gasoline. The janitor left the building for a short time, and when Mr. McColloch arrived and found no fires In the hall ho emptied a portion of one of tho cans Into the stove. In an Instant there was a ter rific explosion. The force of the concus- kslon threw Mr. McColloch a distance ot several feet, and sheets of the nery liquid enveloped his body. Before assistance reached him tho left side of his face and both hands were painfully scorched. He was removed to his home in the Metro politan Hotel, and medical assistance was immediately summoned.
