LOTAN AND SEID BACK
The Jury Convicted Them of
Conspiracy.
WAS OUT ONLY A . fEWh , HOURS
Maeh Surprise Felt In Portland at the
Basalt Mew Trial Will Be Asked
For at Once.
Portland " May 26. Ex-Collect or
James Lotan and Beid Back, the Chinese
merchant' prince, who have been on
trial in the United States court during
. the past week, for conspiracy to smuggle
Chinese, were found guilty by the jury
last night. The verdict was very un
expected by the defendants and many
of the attorneys in the case. The de
fense asked until Tuesday, morning to
file exceptions, and will doubtless move
for a new trial. The court granted the
request and instructed the jury to be
present at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
The jury reached a verdict about 11 :30
and announced to the bailiff that they
were ready to report, which they did as
follows:
" We, the jury in the case, find the de
fendants, James Lotan and Seid Back,
guilty as charged in the indictment."
The names of the jury were then call
ed in turn, and the judge asked each if
it was his verdict and if he was satis
fied with it. Each replied affirmatively.
Mr. Lqtan sat perfectly still daring
the reading of the verdict. He was
afterward overheard to remark to Attor
ney Fulton that it was the greatest sur
prise of his life.
Di let Attorney Murphy asked that
the defendants be remanded, saying that
he bad examined Seid Back's bond and
found it faulty, as it does not describe
the crime charged in 'the indictment
He has not examind Mr. Lotan's bond,
however, and the court refused to make
an order remanding Lotan, but allowed
Seid Back to go upon signing his own
bond to appear in court Monday morn'
ing.
RAISED BV HERMANN'.
An, Important Question . Becardlng;
Indian Schools on Reservations.
. Washington, May 26. Represents
tive Hermann, of Oregon has raised a
very important question in the interior
department in reservations where al
lotments in severalty have occurred
He has presented the right of a state to
extend its common school system over the
Indian's land, with the right to estab
lish school districts in the reservation,
and for the Indians the right to choose
teachers according to the school law, and
to be under the law for taxation pur
poses, except as to tne tanas neia Dy ai
lotment only. The Indian bureau is in
clined to take this view, and further, to
hold that it may aid such schools from
the fund oat of which it already contri
bates to some district schools certain
sums for each Indian taught in them.
Mr. Hermann has formally presented
the matter to the secretary, and it will
likely soon be submitted to the attorney'
general, as the department says It is the
first time the question has come in this
shape. Indians on allotments, being
now citizens, assert their right to enjoy
a common-school education.
Royalists Disappointed toy the Result of
Richard and Walker Case.
: Sax Francisco, May 26. The steam
ship China arrived from Honolulu to-
nig bringing the following advices
' under aate or way zutn :
The correspondence between British
Commissioner Hawea and the foreign
office will soon close with the laurels in
the hands of the foreign office. The
claim made by the political prisoners

ization, the payment of the fees, the
taking of the oath of allegiance and the
service of a year in the legislature by
one of them has been carefully proved.
The British commissioner .finds that he
was deceived by the statements of. these
men, and will so report to the British
foreign office. It was the expectation
of these men that the British govern
ment' would interfere in a summary
manner and the royalist are bitterly-disappointed
that the case goes . against
them, ...
French Guiana and Brazil.
;- Pabib,' May 26. The governor - of
French Goiana cables to his government
that, as a consequence of Brazilian free
booters capturing a French settler
named Trajano . and robbing other
Frenchmen on the frontier territory be
tween French Guiana and Brazil, the
governor sent a dispatch boat with ma
rines to restore order. M. Lunier, cap
tain of marines, with only two men
took a flag of truce to demand the sur
render of Trajano. Cabral the leader of
the freebooters, treacherously fired upon
Lunier. A fierce conflict ensued, the
marines coming to the assistance of the
Frenchmen. , In the two hours ol fight
ing Cabral lost over sixty men killed,
including Lunier, and twenty wounded.
It is feared this encounter will lead to
trouble with Brazil. The scene of the
conflict is in debatable territory between
the two countries.
Cinch Bugs in Kansas.
Topbka, May 26. The ravages of cinch
bugs.in the wheat fields of Eastern Kan
sas have become so destructive that the
farmers of many counties are applying
to Professor Snow, chancellor of the state
university, requesting him to send them
infected bugs with which to stop the
work of destruction. . Chancellor Snow
has thousands of bugs at his laboratories
which are diseased. To farmers he sends
a few of these bugs inoculated with dis
ease and they are scattered in the fields.
The contagion immediately spreads and
the cinch bugs die by the million.
No Action upon the Request.
Wabhinokon, May 26. So far as can
be ascertained no action has yet been
taken by the war department on the re'
quest of the secretary of the interior that
troops be sent to the ecene of the threat
ened troubles on the Winnebago and
Omaha Indian lands in Nebraska grow
ing out of the settlement on those lands
by the Flourney Real Estate & Live
Stock Company and others. Secretary
Lamont was out of the city when the re
quest came to the department, bnt he
returned today and the matter will prob
ably come up before him tomorrow.
English Praise for Cleveland.
London, May 26. The Observer, in an
editorial on the retirement of Admiral
Meade, applauds the singular moral
courage of President Cleveland in the
navy department in risking defeat at the
polls for sake of friendship of England in
dismissing Admiral Meade, and suggests
that Lord Rosebery ask the government
at Washington' to reinstate Admiral
Meade. Such a graceful act could not
fail to still closer bind the two people.

escape from a siege of that distressing
ailment. Mr. Stamm is foreman of

was taken home, and on arrival was
placed in , front of a good fire and
