BscreLary of War Taft had anticipated
' the reception committee' and arrived In
, the Boee City 11 hours ahead of time.
1 Although leas portly than the, secretary
of war, Mr. McNally greaUy resembles

- 'Coining In on the train." said Mr.
McNally, "several women in the front

Portland today and felt sure they had

t president's caoinst.
' Held Many omotal rosltlons.
Tn Seattle the other day. many per
sons mistook me for Mr. Taft and a
' number followed me to my hotel; prob
ably expecting to hear a speech. I was
nnauy roroed to tell them I was not
the man they took me for but only a
consul, r When I was last In Washing
, ton many officials mistook me for the
. secretary and commented upon the llke
, ness between ua." . .
I Mr. McNally Is six feet tall and
! arelghs about 226 pounds, whereas Seo-
EBtary Taft Is more than six feet In
eight and weighs about 100 pounds
, more than his double. Both men are

Consul McNally has never seen Seo
tetary Taft, but. wilt cross the Paclflo
With him on the Minnesota when the
: secretary leaves next week. Mr. Mc
Nally Is accompanied by Mrs. McNally
and their children and will leave this
afternoon for Seattle.
Mr. McNally has had a long career In
the consular service of the government.
ana wui nave served in an oriiciai ca
pacity for the United States on every
continent In the world when he reaches
China, save Africa He was a federal
Judge In Utah in the territorial days.
Afterwards he was appointed consul at
Bogata, and later at Guatemala.
Vow Stationed at wanking.
After a number of years' service In
eoutn America, Mr. Mcxsaiiy was trans
ferred to Lies-e, Belgium, where ho
served until last spring. He came back
to Washington, and President Roosevelt
appointed him to Nanking, which Is con
sldered one of the most difficult post
tlons In the American consular service.
Mr. MoNally's duties will be nartlv dlo
lomatlc In his new position, because of
the presence of a vice-regent at Nan
king. All matters pertaining to govern
mental affairs between China and the
United States will have to nass throurh
Mr. MENally from the vice-regent to
tne American consul general at Shang
hai. Of the nosltlons he has held Mr. Mo
rally beet liked tka one in Belgium;
wnere ne says tne people are energetic
and thrifty to a point found nowhere
else In the world. The manufacture of
firearms is tone of the principal occupa-
grosses the residents they have estab

ODtain rrom tne large lactones, iron
ana steel rail industries also rorm a

Belgians, who shipped most of the rails
used in the construction of the Bait

Then ahe received this note:
"I want you to quit following me, or
I will have you arrested."
September 1 the following letter
was delivered at the pretty lieutenant's
door:
"Portland, Or., Sept. 1 H07. Dear
Sister: I am liable to come down to

XTote Written in Blood.
It was when these failed to move
Miss Hawley that Russell decided on
his final play and Indicted the letter
or blood with an enclosure of a 8 2 -calibre
revolver cartridge. The note was
short but to the point:
"Well my soul is In hell now and you
are the one that caused It. I hope my
ghost will haunt you. RUSSELL."
When the police found Russell he
was alive and well excepting for an
incision on the left shoulder from
which he had drawn the blood to write
the final love-letter.
Pretty little Lieutenant Hawlev is
the lass who, while conducting her re
ligious work In the north end a couple

association and the managements of the
Southern Paclflo and O. R. A N. lines

7'I decline to dlsouss Senator Fulton's
statement further than to call attention
to the very false Intimation that I am
responsible for the delay In bringing
the land fraud cases to trial. He well
knows that his own actions and atti
tude have created a belief that tha
delay has been attributable to me, and
the fact that the cases will not be con
cluded by December 1 Is doubtless to
be made the basis of bis expected ac
tion when congress convenes."

The most confounded word in the dictionary. The one term with the
largst-number of limitaJtionSthLendqf pajience connects with
madness. Some sewing machines are maddening. There" are many"
machines which are really good $60 machines. These are. What is a
$60 machine? It is $25 worth of machinery
and $35 worth of profits. That is too much
for us. It may, do all right for a machine ,
store that sells you the machine and never
expects to see you again, but not for us. We
expect to sell you furniture in the future.
The Gevurtz "Special" is the machine in
