Oyster Bay, Aug. 5. President Roosevelt brought the peace envoys of Russia and Japan together this after noon in the pretty cabin of the Mayflower, saw them shake hands and break bread and sent them off to Portsmouth with a toast for their sovereigns and people and a prayer for the successful issue of their negotiations. If they do not conclude the "just and lasting peace" that he hopes for, it will be no bolt of the President, for today s ceremonies, like every step be baa taken in these delicate proceeding, was crowned with absolute success. Every thing sajgajj I off like clockwork and all was smiles and hearty good-will. Bat, in spite of all the gaiety, there was an undercurrent of belief, more felt than expressed, that the Portsmouth confer ence would end in failure. It is certain tbst the President has the gra vest doabts of peace resulting from their de liberations, and the woe-begone expres sion on the faces of the Russians showed how desperate tbey believe their cause and bow slim they think their chances of bettering it. The President managed the affair with the utmost diplomacy. His idea of making it a "stand-up" luncheon was an evidence that diplomacy guided every step in the day's history and showed how careful he was to treat each side wi h caution, lest be should by some mischance hurt some one's feel ings. The Mayflower, the Galveston and the Dolphin came up from New York last night and anchored. The Sylph, bear ing Assistant Secretary Pierce, was the first ship to arrive this morning and fol lowing her came the Tscoma and the Chattanooga, 35 minutes apart, with the Japanese ana Russian envoys on board. Eaesues Rest ss Fneads The most delicate function of the dsy, the introduction of the envoys to each other by the President, was performed in less lime than it takes to tell iu The Japanese filed in. M. Witte was first introduced to Baron Komura and Min ister Takahira was presented to Baron Rosen, the President using English as the medium. The introductions then became general ; every Russian shook hands with every Japanese, and all smiled pleasantly. "Now, let us go in to lunch," said the President. "Captain, is lunch read??" he asked of Commander Winalow. Commander Winalow said it was, aad the President led the way wi t n a wsve of his hand to the dining room. In the middle of the meal, the President of fered the following toast: Tssst Is Pcscc aes Prasaenty "I propose a toast to which there will be no answer, and to which I ask you to drink in silence, standing : I drink to the welfare nd prosperity of the sove reigns and peoples of the two great na NEW LAND FRAUD CASES SET FOR TRIAL Portland Aug, 5. At the request of District Attorney Frmnria J. Henev Judge De Haven today set the hearing I of indictments Nos. 2890 and 2898 for September 5. Mr. Heney asked that aa the two involve the same offenses that the two be consolidated, bat Judge De Haven said that the matter of consolida tion should be left sto his successor, Judge Hunt, who will preside when court resumes on August 28. Indictment No. 2890 was returned December 27, 1904, and charges 8. B. Ormsby, William H. Davis, Mayor of Albany ; Clark E. Loomis, Henry A. Young, George Sorenson, eta), with conspiracy to defraud the Government oat of public lands in tbe famous 11-7 township by means of false and fraudu lent affidavits and tbe acceptance of false testimony. Indictment No. 2 8 charges Senator John H Mitchell, Congressman Binger Hermann, S. A. D. Pater, Horace G. Mckinley, Mrs. Emma L. Watson. Dan W. Iarplev . Mr. aad Mrs. Elbert Brown at al with conspiracy to defraud the Government of public lands, also in 11 7. The indictment is practically the same as was found against Pater, Ware, McKinley et al and upon which tbey were tried sod convicted.-' It includes in addition tbe United States Represen tatives in Congress. The two indict ments are expected to be consolidated and the defendants in the two nuule to appear at the same time. Vol Mat lavtsngste a rumor was current this morning that tbe jury in the Williamnon-Gesner Biggs case bad been tampered with, but it is announced no investigation will be made. F. J. leaty Cats Seats , District Attorney Heney will leave to night for San Francisco, where be will spend tne next two weens, tie will re turn here shortly before tbe reconven ing of court, on August 28, and will call together another grand jury to investi gate fraudulent transactions in tion with the acquisition of Oregon Read the Plaindealer for all the News tions whose representatives have met here on this ship. It is my earnest hope and prayer, in the interest not only oi these two great powers, but of all man kind, that a just and lasting peace may speedily be concluded between them." As the luncheon n eared its end, some one suggested that the envoys be photo graphed. The idea met with instant fa vor, and the President walked out in the hallway, where the light was better. "Stand anywhere, ' said th Presi- i dent, diplomatically. "Suit you reel ve- sbout your positions," and the two Rus sians at once stepped to his right side, the Jspanese envoys smilingly accepted the left band, and so the picture was Then there was another handshaking, and the Japanese said goodbye, the offi cers gathered on the deck near the head of the atairway, the band played , and the Japanese party disappeared over the aide to sail to the Dolphin, which was to take them to Portsmouth. In a few minutes the President and his cous in W. E. Roosevelt, left the ship, the President's flag was polled doan from the peak and the Russian flag took its place. The visiting officers from the other ships, including Admiral Coghlsn, commanding the Brooklyn navy-yard, and Major General Fred Grant, of the Department of the East, left the ship, and the business of the day was over. The Dolphin, hearing the Japanese, and the Mayflower, with the Russians on board, aad the Galveston acting as convov, will reach Portsmouth at 10 a. ni . on Monday.

LATE EXPOSITION NEWS AND NOTES Thursday, August 10, is the date of the great military spectacle, a reproduc- tion of the Cattt mMmcre' l tbe is and Clark Exposition. It is expected thst this event will draw one of the largest crowds of the season. Capt. Speedy, the noted high diver, is now giving two daily performances on tbe Trail. Capt. Speedy dives from a tower 110 feet high into a tank of water only two feet deep. Hia tower ia mere ly a fragile ladder affair built in the center of tbe Trail, and hia diving acts are free to all. Jspanese tea bouse and garden, duiii on tne eige oi uuiia s Lake, con stitutes a new feature at. tLe Fair. The boose is built in the dsinty Jspanese st vie and tea and rice cakes .are served on the cosy veranda by cute little maids from Japan. Tbe new establishment is located on Gray's boulevard, at the very outer edge ot the Trail. Tbe Trail is now being covered with canvas roof for its entire length along tnat part of it which extends over the lake. This is tbe main section of tbe Trail. Tbe roof will afford protection from tbe sun and make the Trail more popular than ever. This is said to be the biggest canvas roofing job ever undertaken. If all the free shows inside the Expo sition grounds such ss moving picture exhibits, stereopticon entertainments and tbe like, were charged for st tbe rate of 25 cents a snow, the average price for such performances when given out side, it would cost tbe visitor $2.25 to to see tbem all There are nine of these shows and sll are absolutely free to ex position visitors. Tbe skill with which the Portland street csr lines handle tbe visitors to tbe exposition ia a matter of favorable comment from all quarters. Though from 15,000 to 30,000 people ride to the fsir ayery day. there is practically no crowding, and the conductors are win ning praise for their uniform courtesy and attention to the passengers Tbe exposition is fifteen minutes' ride from tbe business censer of Portland. Judge De Haven Discharges Jury After In Famous The million mark has been reached and passed in the record of attendance at the Exposition. When the 27,420 admission of August 2 were added to the aggregate since the fair opened on June 1, it was found that in sixty three days-, 1,013. Ml gate admiariona had been re corded by the turnstiles. The admission department was jubilant, and all the rest of the exposition officials and the people of Portland and the Pacific Northwest in general joined in the jubi lation. Figures tell the truth, and these figures show that the Lewis and Clark Centennial is a success. NO HOPE FOR CHINESE EXCLUSION TREATY Washington, Aug. 3. In speaking to dav of the prospects for s Cbineae exclu sion treaty, a high official of the State Department expressed most pessimistic views. He ssid that, while the Ad min istration was anxious and willing to make a treaty with Chins which would more cieariy interpret the present ex elusion laws, aad would particularly ee iort.ii wnai cusses oi l tnnamen were entitled to admission into the States, there seemed to be no prospect that tb Senate would ratify such treaty, n matter bow brosd its terms. According to this official, the trouble with the exclusion lsw is that it is not sufficiently clear aa to what Chinamen should be admitted, while it aeta forth explicity the classes tbst are not entitled to admission. The State Departmen' would like to see this matter cleared up bat in view oi the known antagonists attitude of the Senate in regard to sn exclusion treaty whatsoever, it is not sntlcipated that any effort would be made in toe near future to make such s treaty with the Chinese government.

It ia reported here from an authoritative source that ex-Judge E J. Dswne, of the United States District Court, Alssks, who die appeared 20 years ago, while under in dictment here for forgery and embezzle ment, and who was supposed to hsvi been dead all these years, is alive, hold, high office in a foreign country and in tends coming back he e to claim part of an estate of a deceased widow, vslued st $80,000. Judge Dawne was formerly s promi nent citizen snd official here. He had accepted the appointment of United States Circuit Judge for the District of Alaska, and removed with his family i Sitka in September, 1885. Becoming involved in money troubles here snd learning that indictments had been found sgainst him, he fled the country under tbe pretense of going to Fori Wrangle on duty and was never heard of again until recently. His former wife, Mrs. Frank Kellogg, now deceased, returned from Alssks with two children and instituted pro ceedings for divorce snd secured a de cree by defsult in June, 1887.

L. A. Rose, Foreman," During tbe two days' session of the jury the proposition wss made by those for conviction that if the other six would find Biggs snd Gesner guilty of the of 'enses charged, Williamson could go free. The six who stood for acquittal etired to s corner of the jury room snd considered this proposition earnestly, but finally rejucted it. It is reported tbat all were willing to accede to this solution of the vexing problem but Henry Keene, a Msrion County farmer, who persistently refused o come over, itnd stood oat for the ac tuittal' of all three defendants. fclicfts Jary Relief showed plainly upon the face of every juryman when they were dis charged. "It seems mighty good to get out in the air again," laid ona. "I used to be in the Indian wars of early days in this country, and when we took captives some of us would be detailed to watch the prisoners. These captive red 45 Hours of Deliberation Case Ended.

Some warm diacussiooa occurred in the jury room, those for con viction stoutly msintsining the guilt of t e defendants, and those for acquittal juat aa stoutly contending that they ere innocent and should be freed. At the end of every three or four boars a j vote would be taken, with tbe usual re-1 suit. This morning three ballots were csst, in tlie hope of getting together and j rendering a terdiet, but tbe count still showed six to sis. Realising that there could be no anao- J imily of opinion, the jurors determined that there wss nothing further to he' done snd they announced that they were ready to leport to Judge De Haven. Asked if they had arrived at a verdict. Foreman L. A. Rose replied: "We have not." lie then read tbe following statement as tbe opinion of tbe 12 jurors : Suit swat Frssi Jery "Your Honor: After s sitting of about 12 hours in tbe jury -room during which time we have tried very bard to reconcile our conclusions to each other1 skins were not more closely kept in charge than we have been in that jury, room for the past 45 hours. However, we have had the best of treatment, and realize that the duty of a juryman is not a pleassnt one. I have never been on a jury with a more pleasant lot of men " When tbe disagreement was an nounced and tbe jury discharged, Dis trict Attorney Heney saked that the date be fixed for a new trial, and this was immediately done. August 2S wss named by Judge De Haven. Stfcsasatt Is Court Tbe three defendants appeared iu court this morning to bear what tbe jury would bring in. After the disagreement was announced and the courtroom cleared of the small crowd of spectators, the defendants showed their relief and smiles appeared on their faces. They shook hands with those jurors who held oat for their confidence in them. As tbe next trial will be entered by tbe same attorneys and much bitternaaa waa developed in the one just closed, the developments will be closely wstched in the one to come before a different judge, who has just closed a trial in Montana containing practically the same elements for the ssme offense. Second Trial treat Csst sf Trials is bk Nests The cost of ths three trials to tbe Gov ernment will probably run up to 110,000 or 112,000. Seventy-five jurors ware summoned, who came on the average about 1 ') miles each. Tbe per diem and mileage of the venire and the panel would probably amount to at least $30 for each msn. Probably tbe cost of the jurors alone for tbe three trials will run up to (7600. The expeaseof tbe defense most be born by the defendants and it will be heavy. Witnesses must be brought from Crook County aad kept here while the trial is in progress at ths expense of the defense. Three attor neys cost the defendants considerable coin, and taking all the items together, Williamson, Gesner and Biggs would get off cheaper to pay any fine the Gov- eminent might impose if tbe three ware found guilty than to fight the case, were it not for the opprobrium and imprison msnt involved. leaty Tells kw It laps eats Mr. Heney gave out the following statement: "In view of the persistent efforts on the part of all the defendants who were indicted by tbe last Grand Jury in tbe land-fraud cases, and their sttorneys, to manufacture public senti ment by claiming unfair methods were need by me before tbe Grand Jury ia secure indictments, aad in view of the further fact that a desperate effort wss made by Attorney Bennett daring tbe present trial to influence public opinion, ss well as the jury, by utterly insinuations and charges of methods on the part of the Government in relstiou to tbe testimony of its wit nesses, I am not surprised thst s nam ler of jorors were misled snd became confused ss to tbe real issues ia the case, and were t has induced to vote not gailty. "I am not at all discouraged by the result of the two trials which have just been hsd, and on August 28 tbe same defendants will sgain be placed on trial nnder tbe same indictments. JOHN BARRETT TALKS BOYCOTT San Francisco, Aug. 4. John Barrett, the newly appointed Minister to Colom bia, is here in connection with the com mercial relations existing between tbe I'm ted States snd China, particularly ss regards the boycott inaugurated by tbe Chinese guilds against American products. He insists, however, that his mission is not of official character, bat simply to acquaint himself with toe feeling of tbe people of tbe Coast ss to the boycott, snd interview some of the merchants who are engaged in the Ori ental trade. Minister Barrett, while conceding that the Chinese gnilds are all powerful in their country . is of the opinion that the present alarm shown by the people of this country over the action of the Chi nese is unnecessarily exaggerated. He firmly believes that whatever grievance tbe Chinese guilds have will soon be dispelled when they are made to realise that tbe United States Government is disposed to set fairly with them in the matter f immigration. He is also of the opinion that ' the country's future policy as regards the Orient will depend much anon the re sults of the peace conference between the representatives of Jspan snd Rossis, and predicts thst the next two years will witness a great change in tbe policy of the 1'nited States, s change attended by noticeable improvement in m atrial relations in the Far East.

The route has been decided upon. The dis tance is 8i miles. The estimated cost for a standard guage line of first class construction is $3,600,000.
