Nov. 23.-Judgo Dacombe, in tho United States Circuit Court today, handed down an opinion overruling" f00 motion made by Charles A. W. Neely, con- icted in Cuba' of appropriating $45,372 of Its postal funds while acting as director of finances of tho Cuban postoffices during tho military oc cupation of. tho Island of Cuba by tho United States, to vacate the attach ment filed by the United States against ?20,000 cash bail deposited by Neely with the registrar of the United States Civil Court in this district. Neely's counsel had moved the dismissal of tho attachment and civil proceedings on the ground that the act of amnesty passed by the Cuban Congress in May, 1902, whereby all Americans convicted of crime In Cuba during, the occupancy of the islands ho pardoned, removed with It all penalties and disabilities, and that the money should therefore be returned to him. The United States, which brought the action prior to the amnesty act, con tended the money so deposited prop erly beldnged to Cuba, from which gov ernment Neely had embezzled It In his opinion. Judge Lacombo says: "It is difficult to determine by what rea son a provision as plain as this amnesty act can be so construed as to transfer the Utle to property from the true owners to the thief who stole it" Mysterious Call to Chief Witness.

FIRST AND OAK STREETS TO SELL BONDS OF OREGON S0AD New York Company Made Trustee of Hunlington-Lewiston Line. NEW YORK, Nov. 23. (Special.) The New York Security & Trust Company Is said to have been selected as trustee for a Bond Issue to carry on the Initial work, on a new railroad Tunning from Hunt ington, Or., to Lewiston, Idaho, a dis tance of 181 miles. i Tho exact amount of the bonds is not stated, but it Is thought the Initial issue will be about 53,000,000.

Revision ot tho laws. !. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. Without ex ception Senator, Fulton has been given better committee assignments than any Senator who is now entering upon his first term, and It Is a matter of some comment that he, as a new man, is far better placed yon committees than a number of Representatives who are now beginning their second term in Congress. From the standpoint of a Western Senator, Mr. Ful ton has secured everything that could bo desired, and would be well placed were this his second and not his first Con gress. To begin with, he Is mado chair man of the committee on Canadian rela tions, and is a member of public lands, ir rigation, fisheries, claims and revision, of tho laws committees. Tho importance of the committees on public lands and ir rigation need not be explained. On claims, a 'very active committee, the Senator can place many of his colleagues under obli gations, and on fisheries he can look -after Columbia River Interests to a marked de gree. His chairmanship gives him a committee-room in the terrace, and carries with it the appointment of a committee clerk. His room adjoins that of Senator MitchelL Senator Mitchell retains his chairman ship of coast defenses, and his member ship on the committees of postoffices and post roads, interoceanic canals, Pacific islands and Porto Rico, and in addition is made a member of tho judiciary commit tee and committee on relations with Cuba. Senator Foster and Senator Ankeny are placed as stated in these dispatches two days ago, save that Ankeny goes on coast defenses instead of on fisheries, and is! made a member of railroads. Foster goes on commerce and Is chairman of the com mittee on geological survey, while An keny Is chairman of the committee on coast and insular surveys. Senator Heyburn, like most new Sena tors, is given a long list of committee as signments, but none -that are of particular Importance. He Is made chairman of the committee on manufactures, and has membership on tho committees of coast defense, geological survey, mines and min ing, public health and National quaran tine, revision of the laws and investigation of trespassing upon Indian lands.

HE IS WORKING FOR PARTY He Realizes to Run for Presi- dent Would Injure It. WOOD CASE MAKES TROUBLE His Promotion the Only,' Point on Which President and OhioanJ Disagree- Why He Hesitates-About Managing Campaign. V OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 23. There is a good deal of speculation as to what 'Senator Hanna intends to do politically and in the Sen ate. It Is known he has discouraged every effort to boom him for the Presidency, and has informed President Roosevelt he does not desire to take the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee next year. Immediately after the Ohio elec tion a great boom, was started for Hanna, and a great many men Intimated ho would be tho ono man who could save the Repub lican party from defeat next year. There was started, at the same time, a move ment In the South to procuro for him Southern delegates. This movement ,the Senator discouraged, as well as the talk about his getting the Ohio delegation. It is known one paper Intimately connected with the Hanna machine In Ohio had an editorial in type strongly indorsing Hanna for the Presidency, and that it was never printed, through the influence of Hanna'3 friends. No doubtSenatoB Hanna would like to be President If he could see his way clear to win, but he is a man of great political sagacity and be knows that it would be almost impossible for him to secure the nomination against Roosevelt and he also knows his canaldacy would do mtich. injury to the Republican party. He desires to perpetuate the Republican control, if he can do so. ;nl Is reyfectly willing to -sac rifice whatever chance he may have to secure the nomination. His best friends know he Is sincere In discouraging the use of his name, and those who have talked with Hanna are convinced there will be n6 opposition to Roosevelt's nomination in the Republipan convention. Pet Hobby of Hanna. Senator Hanna is earnestly in favdr of the ship subsidy bill, and will continue to advocate it although he must be aware that it Is Impossible to pass that meas use through tho House. He has not pressed it at the extra session of "Con gress, and will probably wait to'see what the President may havo to say on he subject in his message. It is generally un derstood that tho President will urge the rehabilitation of tb.e American merchant marine, but will not specifically indorse the shipping bill. At the same time Hanna will take that as an Indorsement of the programme of the last Congress, and will urge tho bill that he passed through tho Senate but which was not even re ported by tho merchant marine committee of the House. """ Senator Hanna is an earnest advocate of tho Cuban reciprocity bill. He believes it is carrying out tho pledge that his per sonal friend. President McKInley, made to the Cuban commissioners before they adopted the Flatt amendment in their constitution. Ho knows the McKinley ad ministration was pledged to granting con cessions to Cuba, and he has stood by that policy and will support President Roosevelt in his effort to carry out the pledges made tho Cubans. Split on Premotion of Wood. Senator Hanna Is opposing the Presi dent only one one important proposition, and that is the promotion of Brigadier General Wood to be a Major-General. In this he has behind him a largo share of tho Army officers, who feel the promotion of Wood tendafto- discourage Army officers doing their best for the service. Wood is left over from McKInley. It was McKIn ley who promoted him in tho first in stance, and It Is now pointed out that if Roosavelt is elected ho will find Wood at tho head of tho Major-General3 in January, 1909, and will nof doubt make him Lleu-tenant-General, an office he will hold for 15 ydJ-3, and prevent any of the present Colonels, Lieutenant-Colonels and Majors and Captains from reaching' the highest rank in tho Army. More than this, Hanna Is very much interested in Rathbone, who, ho thinks, has bean unjustly treated. In opposing Ro'osovelt on the Wood Issue Hanna probably has half a dozen Repub lican Senators with him, who think Wood should not be confirmed. As to National Chairmanship. As to the National Committee, Hanna does not want to manage another cam paign, even to meet the request of the- President Ho has been through two cam paigns, and In each Instance the candi date was his warm personal friend, and a man he did more to make thanXany other. Consequently there could be no disagreement vHanna feels he might lot be able to conduct a campaign satisfac tory to Roosevelt and he believes that some man who-will be in absolute harmony with the President should be named for chairman. It is more than probable that Hanna does not wish to be blamed for any mistakes that may occur In the cam paign, and in case anything like a land slide occurs to defeat the .Republican party, he feels as chairman of the Repub lican committee, he would have to stand a large share of the blame. This view Is obtained from those who are very close to him, as he will not disclose any of his intentions and views to any one'for publication. PLATT IS 'WITH ROOSEVELT. New York Leader Confident Hanna Knows the Way the Wind Blows. NEWARK, N. J., TNov. 23. (Special.) The News tomorrow morning will pritft an Interview which its Washington corre spondent had today with Senator T. C Piatt, In which he declares New York is unequivocally for Mr. Roosevelt for Presi dent Among other things Senator Plati says: "I talked with Governor Odell on Satur day, end hodedared to me that he Is In favor of Mr. Roosevelt Senator Hanna Is too wise a man to run counter to a cyclone, and tho Roosevelt boom Is a cyclone and tornado combined. It will sweep the country, and there Is not the, least basis for the anxiety some people appear to have regarding New York state, for It will help nominate Mr. Roosevelt and he will carry it at the polls next year. In the nomination and election of Mr. Roosevelt next year, the Republican party will be a unit No one realizes this more than Senator Hanna." ' Odell Leaves to See Roosevelt. NEW YORK, Nov. 23. Governor Odell arrived here tonight en route to Wash ington, where he is to see President Roosevelt He left the city at midnight He declined to say whether It was a pri vate or official matter that was taking him to the capital. FOR TESTS OF TIMBER. Mitchell Introduces a Bill Carrying $40,000 to Hasten Work. ""OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 23. Senator Mitchell has In troduced and will press a bill during the regular session of Congress, appropriat ing $40,000 to defray the expenses of in vestigations and tests of American tim ber, to determine the actual strength of timbers of various kinds and sizes. He proposes that the work shall be carried on by the Bureau of Forestry, of the Depar ment of Agriculture, and that when the subject has been carefully and thoroughly investigated the results shall be pub lished for the benefit of timber users. His bill stipulates that no less than 30 per cent of the amount appropriated shall, be expended In investigating timbers of the Pacific Coast States, provided state In stitutions a"nd private citizens of any of the Pacific Coast States agree to furnish land and buildings for a testing labora tory. The Bureau of Forestry Is already en gaged In making timber tests, but the work is progressing slowly, and results are not being, obtained at such a rate as to meet the demand. Senator Mitchell's bill Js intended to hasten the work. PSIN0ESS HAS ELOPED. Wife of Prince" Frederic Infatuated With Her Coachman. BERLIN, Nov. 23.

HT ON PDL Morgan Takes Roose veltSeverelytoTask, CHARGES HE BROKE FAITH Said to Have Known of Panama Uprising: in Advance, WANTED CANAL AT ANY COST Senate Considers Newlands Resolu tion for Cuban Annexation and Fixes December 16 as Time to Vote on Reciprocity. CHARGES OF MORGAN. Roosevelt used his official position to advance bis personal views on Panama. Roosevelt stood ready with armed men to protect those engaged In Pan ama. uprLslng. United States failed utterly to ob serve treaty obligations In pursuing Its course. President had Secretary Hay sign treaty with somebody," who had no authority, save thati conveyed by tho Junta. Canal Is not nearly so certain as If the President would obey the Spooner law. If authority for the canal did not exist, Roosevelt made up his mind to create it. 4 "WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. Panama and Cuba engaged the attention of the Sen ate today to the exclusibn of all other questions. Hale moved to reconsider tho vote by which the Newlands joint reso lution for the annexation of Cuba was referred to a committee, and several speeches were made on the motion with out disposing of It. Hale', Lodge and Platt (Conn.) disavowed any desire on tho part of the United States io- acquire Cuba, and expressed great regret that the resolution had been Introduced. New lands defended the measure as presenting a natural solution of the problem of the relations between the two countries. k The Panama question came up in con nection with the announcement of the reor ganization of Senate committees, Morgan being relieved from the chairmanship of the committee on interoceanic canals. Be fore the order went into effect Morgan took the lloor, and his speech proved to be a discussion of the entire canal ques tion, with liberal criticism of the Presi dent for I is course. He had not concluded when the Senate adjourned, and will pro ceed tomorrow. Vote on Cuban Bill December 16. Before cdjournment the Senato unani mously agreed to vote on the Cuban bill December 16. The Senate began the session with a presentation of a resolution by Allison providing for the appointment of F. J. Prettyman, of this city, as Chaplain of tho Senato for the present session. The reso lution was agreed to. Cullom presented the report of the com mittee on foreign relations on the bill to carry into effect the Cuban reciprocity treaty. The bill went to the calendar. Hale then moved to reconsider the vote by which the Newlands resolution for tho annexation of Cuba was referred to tho committee on relations with Cuba. Ho made the motion the basis of a speech in opposition to the policy -"proposed by the resolution, saying that this country had already declared Its policy with reference IE to Cuba by enacting the Teller resolution Into law. He would not extend such an Invitation to Great Britain, for the union of Canada to the United States, or to Mexico for such a union. In this connec tion Hale said incidentally he had no doubt that there were men alive who would live to see the annexation of Canada to tho United States. He closed by urging tho Senators to take no steps toward closing progress In Cuba. Hale's language in reference to tho pos sibility of Canadian annexation was as follows: "I havo little doubt that men now listening to me will see the time when Canada will become an Integral part of the United States. If his plan Is car ried out by one of the greatest of Brit ish politicians, a colonial preference tar iff will be Inaugurated between Great Britain and the United States, and this English politician will seek to set Can ada up as a great rival to us, an agricul tural rival. Out of that will arise condi tions, discussions and considerations that will end in the union of the two peoples. But we do not Invite Great Britain to send Canada to join us and join the Union. She Is too large a power." Newlands expressed gratification Mhat his resolution should have such early con sideration. He agreed with Hale In much that ne said concerning the progress oi Cuba and the character of Its people. Still, It was a fact that Cuba had been com pelled to confess her inability to cope with other nations In business affairs. He also referred to the concession of the privilege granted to the United States for erecting fortifications on Cuban soil, and to our supervision of the foreign relations of tho Islands, as well as to tho conduct of Its sanitary affairs, ind said that as a mat- f ter of fact Cuba has already assumed the attitude of a. ward of the United States. He also advanced the argument that" in asking a reduction of the duty on Cuban products exported to the United States (Concluded on Pago 6.) ;. X v; '
