Testerday was a gala day at the dog show, the attendance and enthusiasm be ing greater than on any previous day. Last evening the crowd was the largest that ever, attended a dog show In this city, people from every walk and station of life being there to admire the canine beauties. Mr. Frederick Mansell finished the regular work of Judging late in the afternoon", and devoted the evening to awarding the special prize cups and tro jihles, which will be distributed this even ing.

Stewart cup for the best pointer dog in the show, The Pendleton contingent arounu the dog ehow felt particularly happy last evening, and a Portland dog owner remarked that their enthusiasm was not unlike- that of the Furnish lobby when the Pendleton man was nominated for Governor. Oregon's Jessie II is one of the handromesi bltehos ever seen In Port land, and ever since the show began a crowd of admiring spectators have stood In front of her kennel, Portland doss havp fared very well In the winning of prizes-, especially tho&e of "the Portland Cocker Kennels, and the fox terriers belqnging to W, B, Fechheimer.

Mr. Mansell, when eeen last evening, expressed himself as Jllghly pleased with the whole show, de claring it to be one of the best he has tver seen. He ha a ery high opinion of the sporting dogs on exhibition here, declaring many of them the equals of England's best dogs. Last evening. Professor Hunt's trained dogs gave their daily exhibition, and the little four-legged acrobats amused a large good-natured crowd. They will give a special performance, for the convenience of schoolchildren, at 3 P. M. today, and another In the evening. The setter puppy given away last evening by W. C.

Cuban' Legislators' Advice to President-Elect Palma. HAVANA. Anrll 18. At a Into hour tVila afternoon the Audencla Court accepted the i Dond of 5100.CW offered by a fidelity com- pany for the appearance of Estes G. Rath- bone. The court requires, however, that this bond be drawn before a notary. This involves much time and expense, as the notary's fees and a state tax must be paid. Rathbone's attorneys insist that the. hebeas corpus proceedings be continued, and demand that the bond be drawn be fore the court, as is customary, without further delay or further expense. In the habeas corpus proceeding Rathbone's at torneys declare the court's delay illegal, and intimate that the court may be im peached for such action. The hebeas cor pus petition will be heard tomorrow. A numbercf Cuban Senators and Representatives-elect have sent a telegram to President-elect Palma, at GIbara, peti tioning him to ask the United States to pardon all Americans now under arrest ln Cuba. Borax" In Bleat. ST. PAUL, April 18. The wholesale meat dealers arrested at the instigation of the retail dealers have been arraigned on charge of using bonrx as a meat pre servative. They demurred, to the charge and their cases were continued until April 9. A case of similar Import to these is now pending in the Supreme Court, and it is expected that a decision will be had before the date of trial. Testimony was introduced in the Min neapolis case tending to prove that the use of borax is not Injurious. On this point the decision rests. RAILROAD RATES STABLE AGENTS SAY BUSINESS COULD HARDLY BE BETTER. Injunction of United. States Conrt Has Cleared Up the Situation Won- derially No Risk Taken. "I don't see how business could. l)e bet ter," said the representative of one of the strong railroad lines into Portland yesterday. "In my experience of 40 years in the railroad busineso I never knew traffic to be in better shape for all the interest? concerned. The volume moving is enormous, the rates are fair, and every body is getting square treatment. The annoying feature of passes to shippers has been totally eliminated from tho situation; locally I don't believe a pare has been issued to influence business since the first of January and precious few were issued after the first of last August, when the railroads agree to drop the practice. I am confident the transportation buslnero wae never cleaner than It is today, and It is a great satisfaction. I assure you." One of the. influences that have worked markedly for cleansing the railroad situa tion 1b the injunction that was granted by the United States -Court, in Kansas City, i fflMJ"w, and made effective March 25. The rail roads against which this order was di rected recognize the futility of trying to evade It. Getting in contempt of court Is quite a different matter from the mere neglect or evasion of a statute, legal dis cover' of which is difficult, and punish ment of which is almost Impossible. The plain order of the court is not to do cer tain acts, not to make rates or arrange ments not contemplated in the authorized tariff sheets duly posted, and no agent or official cares to fool with the court. As a result of that order instructions came to Portland agents of Eastern lines saying specifically that "any yariatlon from (the published tariffs will hereafter be on your own personal responsibility. You have no authority from this office for any such practice, and I will not support you in it," Such instructions mean business, and they have been heeded in every re spect. Railroad men generally agree that the injunction la destined to be of more prac tical benefit in an assurance of a sta bility of rates than anything the Inter state Commission has ever attempted or done. Even the humblest subordinate is complying with Instructions in the small est particulars, and as one of them ex pressed it yesterday, "we are tied hand and foot, and do not intend to take any chances of being hauled up for contempt or losing our positions." Incidents are coming to light, however, that servo to show the disposition of ship pers to subject railroad officials to tempta tion without the slightest hesitation. A New York paper tells how the representa tive of a Western road was asked to ap prove some back claims for concessions that were promised. His reply was a very emphatic negative, accompanied by the statement that he did not propose running the risk of going to jail to accommodate any man. His visitor, nevertheless, was Insistent, and only gave up when it be- i.u.c wij t.u hcol utiii vnm aumc- " i6 t!!?"0?0.",?061165; ' S?t?5f J tWs klnd m,ght b qUOted In Portland, .t""'"- .wuubira ui iicaiCTi mtw arc T ?!

PRELIMINARY SURVEY COMPLETED Definite Locntion-of Colombia South ern to Beprin Next Week. President Lytle. of the Columbia South ern, has received word from Chief Eni gineer Hammond that the preliminary survey of the projected extension has been completed to Bend, which is found to be 97.73 miles from Shaniko by the route followed. The maximum grade south, of Crooked river Is 0.8 of 1 per cent. The maximum grade for the whole line of the extension is 2 per cent, and that is for but a short distance on the way down the hill from Shaniko to Hay Creek. Even that may be reduced when the track shall he definitely located. T.he work of making the permanent lo cation of the track will T)egln Monday at Shaniko. Tne first SO miles will cover the most difficult part of the line, and It will take about 20 days to complete that location. Permanent location of the en tire projected extension will require about 50 days. By the 20th of May It is ex 'pected everything will be ready for pro ceeding with the construction of the first 20 miles of the road. It has not yet been determined whether the Columbia South ern Company will build the extension or let it out on contract. TAKEN TO UNITED STATES COURT. Minnesota's Action Against the Rail road Merger. ST. PAUL, April UL-Judge Otis, in the Ramsay County District Court, 'today signed an order removing tho action brought by the State of Minnesota against the so-called railroad merger, to the Unitod States Circuit Court. The suit will, therefore, havo to be tried in the Federal Court, unless the latter shall see fit to' remand it "back to the State Court. Shortly after the state began- Its case in the District Court by serving the sum mons and complaint on the Great Northern Railway Company, the Great Northern Company, the Northern Securities Com pany and James J. Hill Individually, the attorneys for the Securities Company terved notice upon the Attorney-General of a motion to set aside the service of summons on that company, which was made upon Mr. Hill as president, on the rround Mr. Hill was not present ln the state as president of the Northern Securi- et',t ? ties Company. Today, however, the at torneys for the Securities Company de cided to withdraw this motion and waive the question of service, and petitioned the District Court for removal of the case to t'he Federal Court. The grounds for this motion were allegations that the suit in volved a construction of the Federal statutes and of the Constitution of the United States. This motion Judge Otis granteu. Attorney-General Douglas, when asked in regard to the course that would now be pursued, said: "I cannot say what jaction the state will take until I have examined the pa pers In the case. It is probable, however, that the state wlli move, to remand the case back to the Ramsey County Court. Such a motion can be made at any time upon notice to the defendants. "The original complaint, in the suit the slate attempted to bring in the Federal Supreme Court did not. allege violation of the Federal statutes. I did not draw the complaint In tho present case, and do not remember whether such a violation is al leged or not. If It is, the Federal Circuit Court would probably have jurisdiction in the case. "We will probably move to re mand the case anyway." BOHEMIA RAILROAD PROJECT., .Cottage Grove Citizens Subscribe Money for It Work In May. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., April IS.

Great Exhibit of. the State Continues .to Excite Wonder and Admi ration of. All. CHARLESTON, S.'C.. April 12. (Special Correspondence.) Oregon's exhibit at Charleston Is without a doubt the leader. The Southern papers are using it as a theme for Interesting reading matter. Every day people visit thc exhibit and make such remarks as: "This is what we were reading about," "This is the log he told us to be sure and see," "Nor here's where we are going to spend the most 6t our time." Last week was educational week. Hun dredsof teachers and pupils arc here study ing the exposition, and it 13 no exaggera tion to say they all pronounced Oregon the most attractive exhibit at the expo sition. Many college boys are inquiring into the possibilities for Voung men In the West. Already quite a colony of them have made arrangements to cast their lot In, Oregon next summer." Oregon is the only far Western State, excepting Colo rado, which has a mineral exhibit. Mis souri has a fine display of fru.ts, agricul ture and mlncra's. It3 apples are most artistically arranged ln pyramids, minia ture carloads and In wagons. Missouri here is considered a long way west, and its excellent display he'ps to substantiate the good opinion peopic already have of Oregon's resources. Then too, the Missouri Commissioners arc whole souled. congenial people, esteemed by all, and are clacsed,as Westerners. The exposition is daily taking on re newed life and activity. There has been some very pleasing and interesting 6c casions where Oregonlans- have played prominent parts. The. Daughters of the American Revolution had a delightful week here, during which time. Admiral Schley and Captain Hobson were among the guests of honor, I had several con versations with Admiral Schley and found him a man of fine 'personality. He remarked "that Oregonians had a warm place in his heart on account gf the battle-ship Oregon." He has a great de sire to visit Oregon during the coming Summer. Captain Hobson has spent quite a little time in Charleston this Winter, and is a young man of quiet and re served manner. He is a Christian and does not hesitate to let it bo known. He is an earnest worker in the Y. M. CvA He has spoken here, in the different churches on Sunday evenings, and is admired and esteemed by all. He will visit Oregon the coming Fall, and wishes to tako a jaunt through the mountains of the Northwest. There havo been some big days here when the Governors and staff of different-states accompanied by train loads of people have visited tho exposition. It was voted that Tennessee sent the larg est men and the prettiest women. The "Hoo Hoos" came last week in swarms and they were a Jolly band. Oregort had out her sign, "Oregon wel comes the, Hoo Hoos," and our forestry exhibit was a revelation to many of the visitors who had been in the lumber busi ness for years, yet had never been af forded the opportunity to see our largo trees, or such wonderful variety of fine lumber and artistic natural graining. Commissioner A. J. Johnson was on hand to answer many questions and ln his usual interesting way explain and In struct the lumbermen, In Oregon's pres ent and future position in the world of, lumber. Joseph Reed, of Sumpter, Is here look ing after tho mineral interests. Mr. Reed has proven a valuable acquisition to the Oregon delegation, and Is always sur rounded by a crowd of Interested visit ors, while he tells them of Oregon's mineral wealth. Yesterday for a half hour he was visited by 500 girls "from Winthrop College, South Carolina. He was quite equal to the occasion, but when they each wanted a gold nugget for a souvenir, Mr. Reed was perplexed. George Slocum came to his rescue with a box of odds and ends from invaluable rocks, and the 300 happy school girls departed thinking they possessed a treas ure. It is certainly to be regretted that we have no button or some little souvenir to give away hero, for people fairly clamor for some little token from far away Oregon.

Lawyers of this city whp are pushing various claims against the Government growing out of tho wnr with Snnln nnil thf Oiihnn Insur- , rection preceding It have received a brief on demurrer to their petitions, in which the Federal lawyers assert that Captain General Wejler's reconcentrado order was justifiable under the rules of civilized war fare. Plaintiffs in the case claim that while they were citizens of the United States their sugar plantations were destroyed by the Cuban insurgents. The United States Government Is looked to for reimburse ment because of the agreement with Spain as to the mutual relinquishment of claims on behalf of their citizens or subjects growing out of the war and insurrection, and the announcement that the United States would settle the claims of Its citi zens against Spain so relinquished as set forth ln the peace treaty. The Government's main contention is that a state of actual warfare obtained In Cuba at the time of the alleged losses, and that therefore under another pro vision of tho treaty It is not liable.
