ORBGONIAN' NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 27. The prosecution ex pects to conclude Its testimony in the Hermann case tomorrow, and when court meets Monday the defense will have its innings. The principal interest today cen tered in the testimony of Woodford D. Harlan and William El Valk, two clerks In the General Land Office, whose confes sions before the grand jury in this city two years ago did much to strengthen the indictment asainst the Benson-Hyde land fraud ring. Both today admitted that they were brined by this outnt, the for mer to keep them posted with regard to the proposed creation of forest reserves, and the latter to expedite eases in which Hyde & Co. were Interested. Damaging to Hermann. Their testimony was damaging to Her mann in that it tended to show that the defendant, when Commissioner of the Tud Office, while ostensibly making an investigation I into the operations of the Hyde-Benson gang, was, as a matter of fact, at the behest of Senator Mitchell, expediting their cases and going out of hi way to make them "special." Irvln Rittenhouse, who was of such great assistance to Prosecutor Heney dur ing the land trials in Portland, and who has served in a like capacity to District Attorney Baker throughout the Hermann trial, was placed on the stand thin after noon ' and will conclude tomorrow. His testimony brought out nothing startling, but confirmed previous testimony as to Hermann's method of conducting busi ness, particularly the handling of corre spondence, especially that from Oregon. King Fined for Not Going. Justice Stafford fined A. G. King, of feattle, KUO for refusing to obey a sum mons, which made it necessary for him to bo brought to Washington by a Mar shal. King's fee and mileage as a witness Amount to $304. This will leave him suffi cient funds to pay for his return to Se attle, which was the basis of the fine. When Valk was cross-examined he admitted that he had been in the employ of John Benson, now one of the defend ants In the Hyde-Benson-Dimond land- fraud cases, from 1897 to 1903. During this time Valk received approximately $2500 from Benson and remarked that he had not received all that was due him. The agreement was that Valk should expedite the land coses In which Benson was in terested, for which he was to receive 10 cents an acre. Plot to Trap Benson. Harlan, chief of the division in which Valk was then special examiner, was taken into the combination at the outset, but a misunderstanding soon arose re garding the compensation that they were receiving from Benson, and Valk said he continued In the employ of Benson, but tlid not know whether Harlan did or not. The last payment Valk received, he said, was given him by Benson in a bathroom in the New Willard Hotel, in this city. In 1903. He said that he made this ar rangement with Benson under the direc tion of United States Attorney Byrnes, in order to trap Benson and carry out his part, "under great protest." Valk received a code from Benson, by which they corresponded by letter and telegram regarding the claims in which Benson was interested. The witness said that he signed all communications with "R," and Benson signed the same way. Destroyed AH Letters. Valk destroyed all letters and papers in this correspondence in September, 1902. The anonymous letter Introduced yester day and objected to by Mr. Worthington was admitted today. The object of the letter, according to the prosecution, is to show that Hermann knew of the Hyde Benson operations in 1900. A. G. King, of Seattle, said he received $4 a day from P. P. Mays to secure sig natures to a petition asking for the crea tion of the Blue Mountain forest reserve. Irvln Rittenhouse testified that he had on various occasions taken dictation from Hermann, and that certain letters which he said related to the business of the Gen eral L,nnd Office were kept In Hermann's deyk. He Identified a letter which was sent to Ormsby by Hermann, the record of which is not to be found in the Iand Office, the original having been obtained from Ormsby since the trial began. The letter had been press-copied. On cross-examination. Harry C. Rob ertson, private secretary to the late Sen ator Mitchell, testified that there was nothing in the conversation which he heard between Puter and Hermann re garding the affidavits which Puter and Mrs. Watson signed which led Robertson to believe that there was anything wrong regarding the land claims in question. CREEL WORKS FOR PEACE Offers Mediation of Mexico to Xlca- raguan Minister. WASHINGTON. March 27. Mr. Creel, the Mexican Ambassador, today con firmed the press dispatches of this morning that Salvador has expressed a desire for peace In Central America and is anxious to have Mexico exert its isrood Inflluenoe in endings the war. This desire of Salvador Is regarded by diplomatists as an Indication that war Is practically ended, because Hon duras is not strong enough to con tinue it singlehanded. This action of Salvador will doubtless prevent Guate mala or Costa Rica from taking any part In the support of Honduras. Mr. froel had a conference with Mr. Corea. the Nicaraguan Minister, today, and probably will confer tomorow with Secretary Hoot as to how Mexico and the United States can best exert their efforts to restore peace.

The vote by which this attitude was reached car riea xne striae proposition by & tre mendous majority. We are not satis fled, and the men are not satisfied. We are not going, to ask for any more conferences with the general manag ers.

The ' railroad officials are not quite so pessimistic over the situation. When the men were declaring that a strike was inevitable. Secretary Thompson, of the general managers, said: "We have not yet given up hope of a peaceable adjustment of the difficulty. We have conceded a great deal to the men already, and it would seem to be but a matter of a short time until the union officials will see their way clear to accepting the general managers' proposition. I am of opinion that the conference which ended in nothing to day will be resumed again within the next two days, and that some sort of an agreement will be reached."

ROME, March 27. The prominent Anglo-Saxon prelates now here have presented to the Papal Secretary of State, Merry del Val, a memorandum setting forth the importance ol the Anglo-Saxon Catholic world compared with the remainder of the Catholic world. It was stated .in the memorandum that the Catholics in the United States, Canada, Ireland, Great Britain and the British colonies number in all 45,000,000, and It was asserted that no Catholics so vigorously took up the case of the church in its conflict with the French government as the Ameri cans. Irish and English, who were classed as the wealthiest Catholics and as those from whom the Holy See can expect the greatest amount of support. It is believed the step taken by the Anglo-Saxon prelates has had consid erable effect, and It is even hoped that the Pope may reconsider the list of cardinals to be adopted at the con sistory of April Id. with the possi bility of the inclusion of an Anglo Saxon prelate wh would be created in pectore that s to say, that his name would not be published for the present, although his elevation to the sacred college would date from April 15. BURNS AGAINST SOCIALISTS Labor Leader Denounces Relief Scheme for Unemployed. LONDON, March 27.

EDITORS OF UNITED STATES (Continued From First Page.) he bad daily conferences with Mr. Mc kinley. It was through his editorials in the Pre3s that the country was in formed of the exact position of the Administration from day to day. Soon afterward the President called him to the Cabinet. Otis, Soldier and Editor. General Harrison Grey Otis, of the Los Angeles Times, is a veteran in more ways than one. This fact was brought out by an incident which happened a few years Peculiar to fltself In combination, proportion and process, Hood's Sarsaparilla is therefore Peculiar to Itself in merit, sales and cures. It is made from the best blood-purifying, alterative and tonic ingredients by such original and peculiar methods as to retain the full medicinal value of each and all.

Hood's Sarsaparilla is now put up in choco lated tablets called Sarsatabs, as well as in the usual liquid form. Sarsatabs have identically the Guaranteed under the Food and ered, at and IMPORTED ers at 75c, and ago in Mexico. I had been sent to the Southern republic by a number of editors to obtain an interview with President Porflrio Diaz on a subject that was then an important issue. General Otis was one of the editors I represented and in the course of my conversation with the Mexi can executive it developed that he was a great admirer of the famous publisher of the Times. President Dial said: "Few men ever become distinguished in even one line of endeavor, but General Otis is both a great soldier and a great editor." As a young man General Otis took part in the nomination of Abraham Lincoln at the Chicago convention, being one of the delegates from Kentucky. When the call to arms sounded In the Civil War, young Otis responded promptly. He went into the ranks and served throughout the war, coming out a brevet lieutenant colonel. He again offered his services to his country in the recent war with Spain and It was his brigade that stormed and captured Caloocan in the Philippines. During his long and arduous war service he has fought in 15 actions, been twice wounded in battle and seven times pro moted upon merit. General Otis is fond of telling his first experience In "journalism," which con sisted of carrying laths for plastering the country printing-office In which he be came an apprentice in the Winter of 1851 and 1852. He worked his way upward through many positions until the Times was founded in 1881, and his strong per sonality has been steadily reflected in the paper. For years he did nearly all the editorial work on It. and the greatest compliment ever bestowed on any mem ber of the editorial staff today is to be told by some reader that an article comes near the chief's own style and method in handling an important subject. Agnus and the Wounded Rebel. t I heard a war story of General Felix Angus, the genial editor and publisher of the Baltimore American, which shows that even in the fiercest conflicts there were always Incidents to prove the bro therhood of man. I think it was during one of the engagements around Richmond in the Seven Days' Fight. Agnus, then a captain in rank, fell and his companions thought he was mortally wounded. The fighting had been at close quarters and, when tlie Union officer recovered con sciousness, he found a Confederate of ficer lying directly across him. Agnus did his utmost to release himself from the weight of what he felt sure was a dead man, but it was not long before he saw that the Confederate was recovering from his swoon. The poor fellow had received an ugly gash and begged piteously for water. Agnus remembered that he had some cold coffee in his canteen and, after great difficulty, his right shoulder having been nearly torn away, he raised himself slightly, and said: "Here you are, Johnny, take some of this coffee." The wounded man reached for the prof fered canteen and drank of Its cooling contents with great relish; then handed it back, saying: t "Yank, I thank you, damn you." Years after this story was told by Gen. eral Angus at a banquet given by the Press dub in New York, the General add ing: "I have often wondered what became of the man who damned me while he thanked me. and thought that If he had survived the war, I would have been gAad to meet him." Scarcely had the General finished speak ing when a handsome, athletic-looking gentleman came toward him and said: "I am the man you befriended, and once more I thank you with all my heart, and believe me. I have no wish to supplement my thanks as 1 did on that occasion." The gentleman proved to be Major $i.

Is another of the veterans of American journalism. He is known as the conservative editor of the most conservative newspaper in the United States. Mr. Hemphll is about 60 years old. straight and active, possessing a keen eye and a ready wit. He is one of the most popular men socially in the South. His editorials are al ways on the conservative side, ex cept when they assail radicalism, and then they are apt to be a bit radical themselves. Mr. Hemphill and the dis tinguished Senator from South Carolina, Mr. Tillman, have riot always agreed, and the News and Courier has had its say on more than one occasion. The News and Courier was the last paper in the United States to hold to the old notion that It was improper to publish society news, conservatively bowing to the wishes of Charleston's St Cecilia Assembly. Boundaries of Charleston. Mr. Hemphill was attending a news paper publishers' meeting not long since. A man with a scheme made a speech about a plan to double the circulation of a paper and triple the advertising. Then the South Carolinian was asked to com ment. "It may do very well for some parts of the country," he said, "but Charleston Is bounded on the east by 3000 miles of water and on the west by several hundred miles or mosquitoes. There are about as many white people in the city of St. Louis as there are in the whole State of South Carolina. I think we will stick to our own methods. The mosquitoes seem to like 'am." The past two years Mr. Hemphill has devoted his whole energy to the work of trying to induce white Immigration from the Northern states and from Europe to South Carolina.
