Washington, Nov. i. The United

branch of government not controlled in
the slightest degree by the executive.
Publlo Printer BtUIIngs was notified
through tha department of Justice to
continue the old style of spelling In the
quotation of oplnlone and decisions of
to supreme court, the preeldent's order
to the contrary notwithstanding.

I THERE'S A REASON .- . !
FOR;
When a stranger asks. "Which Is

tried to make It tha beat from every point of view news, features, lllus-
t rations and character It Is sincere. Independent and representative of
the people. Having made It the leader, we are determined to keep It In
that position, and are expending money, effort and Judgment "to do It.
The Sunday Journal' special features are the finest to be had, and thla
week we have added one that marks a distinct departure from old-line
Journalism. It la the first of a aertcs of articles on "The Trail of the
American Missionary." Every religious organization In the eountry--
every church member, aijd Indeed, thousands who are not af fills ted '
gny denomination are interested In foreign missions and how they
-conducted, and WlllhTm T. Ellis,
America, wll tell what the mlsaloaary Is doing In every comer of the
globe; how the vt . rm given Into his hands are expended, and with
, what results. . That la but one of the many features hat The Sunday
Journal will have. Of course our colored supplement la the best, to be
had; The Sunday Journsl hsd a wide offering to choose from, and picked

"The -business ' of the Portland oflio

have to be secured. . I believe that the

and that la why I favor constructing a
building that will endure for years, and
one that mill, be large enough to handle
all the bualnesa, in too years to eome.
We have illustrations here in Port
land of the uselessnesa of building for
the present alotie. Tha custom building
Is so congested, that the work cannot be
oarried on properly. - Tne land offices
are in the Columbia building, thus sepi

"Ah." waa Chief Justice Fuller's only
comment. .
Hoyt " then remarked ' that Publle

complete aketches of the fortifications,
arouud Manila in turn possession, a Jap
anese captain of engineers was caught
while completing his -drafts today by
the American officials and immediately
placed under arrest.
When the Japanese had been searched
and his apartments ransacked. many
drawings were Drought to light, giving
in full detail the fortifications, the har
bor and city of Manila and many other
secrets which are jealously gusrded.
A search of the officer's effects re
vealed several afell-executed sketches
of forts in the islands on which there
was a notation . ahowlng . the arrange
menta of the guns, the distribution of
soldiers at each fort and general eoav
menta on .the effectiveness of the de
fense. The malls will probably be ex
amined to prevent any of tha officer's
drawlnga from going from the country,
unleas tbey have already gone.
.The affair baa caused a great sen ta

is not unlikely that other complications
will arise. - although Washington Is al

Government officers are not sur
prised, having suspected Japanese
agents of having been at work, not only
in the Islands but in continental united

th navy department ordered naval of

Mrs. Shaver,
"Brennan is a bumbug, a fraud, and ':

I believe' that what Mr. Brennan
