CAN LEAD THEM
ONLY TO DEFEAT
Fault is Found With His Adhesion to
the Chicago Platform and His
Peculiar Expansion Views,
Washington', Jan. 15. Another effort
is being mado to (jot BiyHii to withdraw
from the presidential canvass in the hope
that tho Democrats rnuy have some
slight chance of winning beforo the
people this year. It is now known that
a great many Democratic leaders have
addressed letters to IJryan or to close
friends of tho Nebraska man, suggesting
that in view of tho fact that eilver can
not win in tho coining campaign, it
mi.'ht be well for tho Nubraeku man to
put out of the way and allow some con
servative man to bo nominated. Fault
is found not only witn Bryan and hie
persistent adhesion to the Chicago p'at
form, but also with tho peculiar position
he has taken in regard to expansion.
Having advised tho ratification of the
treaty against the protests of the leading
Democrats of the senate, he is now tak
ing a popition against expansion, and
has gone eo far in that direction that he
has offended many Democrats of the
Eolith, while his fjrmer attitude in sup
port of tho treaty offended the cxtermista
in the other direction.
It is not believed by the leading Demo
crats hero that any advise that may be
K'ven IJryan on this subject will have
the least effect, as they feel Euro that he
is determined to lead the Democracy,
which, with him at its head, will he de
feated worse than any party since
Greeley 'a time.
Representative Tongno today called
on the attorney-general to hasten action
looking toward tho construction of
Salem's poatollko building authorized by
tho laBt congress. IIu learned that title
to the site has been approved and that
payment will be mado in a few days.
Thu supervising architect la about to pre
pare plant for tho new building, nnd
Mr. Tongue is using ills best efforts to
have provision made in the specifications
for Oregon material, brick or stone. This
matter has not yet been fully determined
on, but it is expected local bidders will
be given the preference.
REGARDING THE
THORN CASE
Preliminary Examination of H.
Harvey, tbc Hrakcinun.
F.
Coit.wik Giiovk, Or., Jan, 15, Squire
Vauahan's court was packed today by
those interested and curious to hear the
preliminary examination of H.F.IIarvey,
the hrakeman who was placed under foOO
bonds last Saturday upon the charge of
rapu upon tho person of Miss Minnie
Thorn. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
J'. T. Harris appeared for the state and
Attorneys A. 0. Woodcock and J. H.
Medley for the defence. Miea Thorn,
the victim of the dastardly crime, was
the first witness on the stand. She is a
modest looking girl of less than sixteen
years, and from the first created a favor
"hie Impression, telling her itory in a
straightforward manner. Only once or
twice during tho recital of her pitiful
fitory did biu hesitate and then ap
parently from aversion to alluding to the
dingracefu! nffnir. Tho defense fulled to
break down her evidence on crosi-cx-ai'iinaiioii,
and when she was asked why
the did not resist ar.d cry for help, she
dated that Patterson and Harvey, who

threatened her life.
The examination of the witnesses took
up the greater part of the day. Tho ar
gument was strong on both sides, and
consumed about two hours, the caso
resting with Judge Vaugban about 5
o'clock. Tho aged justice was not long
coming to a decision, and immediately
Announced that he would hold the de
fendant to appear beforo the circuit judge
of Lane county at the next term of court,
in the sum of $1000 bonds. Harvey ex

Boers this morning attempted to rush
the hill held by a company of Yorkshires
and New Zealanders, but they were re
pulsed at the point of tho bayonet. The
Boers had twenty-one killed and about
fitly wounded.
London, Jan. 10. A complete absence
of news from Natal up to this hour
proves that tho censorship will allow
nothing to pass until Butler's plans are
executed or have tailed. Even Geneial'
Roberts, in his rerjortof yesterday even
in?, deferred from mentioning a word
about Natal or Buller.
From other columns there is little news
of movement. Modder river advices of
yesterday's date only report the daily
long-range shelling from w hich the Boers
are supposed to have suffered severely.
A dispatch from Sterketroom, dated
January 15, repot Is that Gatacre'a troops
had made n demonstration beyond Mol
teno in the direction of Stromberg in tho
belief that the Boers intended to seize
Molteno. The burghers were not sighted
and the British remained at Molteno.
Arrivals from Stromberg estimate that
there are ioO'J Boers at that place, mostly
revolted colonists and Free Staters.
President Steyn'a brother is the l.indrost.
General French continues to shell Boer
positions, but nothing decisive has
taken place.
