yKxecratos Governor Durbln who
I "Wloed and Dined By the
OreiU Don Quixote" of
the White II oumj.
Washington, Feb. I. Indian and
and Kentucky locked horns in the
houso today. The debate was fast and
furious from atari to finish. Kentucky
demanded of Indiana the return of W.
S. Taylor, that he might be tried for
the assassination of William Ooebel.
The diplomatic appropriation bill waa
under conalderation at the time. James
of Kentucky, fired tooth sides of the
house by declaring that the "Rough
Rider" president waa rldlculoua In bis
message to congress favoring Interna
tional extradition treaties,' when, one
state could not get from another a fug
itive from Justice, , , ,-.'
. For four years, be eald, Governor
Durbln, of Indiana, had protected Tay-

cornea to town,' continued James, "he
la wined and dined by thla great Don
Quixote upon extradition, who abso-
. lutrly ronfldea to Durbln the right to
give a waiting and anxious world the
newa that, Hnnna can run for president
If he wanta to, and when we all read
that, we again declare the "king can
do no wrong.' "
These remark! mot with democratic
applause and laughter, but stirred the
opposition to action and for something
like two hours many of the members
were on their feet at ft time, and the
criminal and political records of both
Kentucky and Indiana, were handled
without gloves. When Crumpaker took
the floor In defense of Indiana he waa
hardly able to maintain the threld of
his argument on account of Interrup
tion. 4 .

Monslgnor Notaloda was appointed
to be Archbishop of Valencia, Spain,
from Rome after his return from the
Philippines." This appointment arous
ed great opposition In Spain on the
ground .hat his attitude toward the
Americans before and after the surren
der of Manila savored of disloyalty to
his own country. The matter has been
discussed in the Spanish chamber of
deputies where Premier Maura recent

would go to Valencia even if it were
necesiry to send an escort of troops
with him.
London, Feb, 4. Special dispatches
rcosivtf from me far eact, "anS pub
lished this morning, add nothing to the
knowledge of the actual situation.
The St Petersburg correspondent of
the Telegraph quotes from Novo Vre
mya a bitter editorial attack upon the
United States, which he supposes to
be the outcome of the dispatch of Amer
lean consule to Mukden and Antung,
The Novo Vremya accuses the United
States of a desire to win the hege
mony of the entire globe and to ex
elude Europe from, the far eastern mar
ket and declares "if, as it seems likely,
war will break out, it will have to be
instigated by Yankees with their uni
tarian views." . f ' i
Baron Ilayasht, the Japanese minis
ter to Great Britain, described the sit
uation in the far east ps "certainly Very
threatening," but said everything de
pended upon Russia's reply.
"It Is highly Improbable," the min
ister continued, "that Russia will make
any aggressive move before the Jap-
anese government has received and
consldersd the Russian reply. What
Russia wishes to do Is to throw the
responsibility of taking the initiative
upon Japan."
Just before adjournment of the night
session of the house .of commons a
member asked the government whether
It had any information concerning the
rumor that Russia had .declared war.
To this question Home Secretary Akers
Douglass, replied: "None whatever." :

Seattle, Feb. S. "Only - a cmplete

avert a, war," said A. Burnnngame
Johnson, of Manila last night, w ho was
formerly for five years In the diplomat
ic service In China and who achieved
some distinction there during the Boxer
uprisings. , , ;
"The hand of Japan has been forced
by her own people and she dare not re
cede from her position. Owing to di
vided sentiment In Russia, it Is improb
able that that nation, either, will draw
back. Half of the country wants war
and it Is a question whether the half
that wants It does not represent the
strongest party. Russia Is entirely un
prepared for war. Japan stands a
good chance of winning out In a short
decisive war."i 1 ,

Cottage Grove, Or., Feb. 3. The
temperance question that has been oc
cupying the minds of the city council
and citizens as well,, for the past few
months, has come to an, end. There
has been a movement on foot among
the temperance people of the town to
raise the saloon license fee from $400
to $800 per annum, a majority of the
present council expressing themselves
In favor of the advancement, but when
the date for the final vote on the mat
ter arrived it was discovered that one of
he eouncllmen who had been the most
favorably inclined to the movement
could not. attend. :
This tied" the remaining eouncllmen
oh the question. Tt was theft up to the
mayor to cast the deciding vote. He
likewise expressed himself in favor of
the measure previous to this fime, but
refuseto stand by his previous con
vicUons. . The matter was finally
compromised by the councQ letting the
license stand as it was, but agreeing to
rigidly enforce an ordinance compelling
saloons to close promptly at midnight,
and also on Sundays. ( , '.
