President Desires Congress to Decide
What Type Shall Be Built.
Washington, Aug. 1. It it be true,
as reported from Oyster bay, that the
president intends to call an extra ses
sion of congress early in November, it
is not probable any attempt will be
made to force the prompt consideration
of a railroad rate bill. That would be
out of the question ; at least it would
be impossible to secure final action on
such a bill within a month. '
- The probabilites are, and observing
officials here believe, that the president
intends, at the early session, to have
congress take up and settle once for all
the question of whether the Panama
canal shall be built, as originally
planned, with locks, or shall be a sea'
tevei canal, as aavocatea by so many
prominent engineers. This is a ques
tion that congress must decide, and the
sooner it is out of the way the better
the men in charge of the canal can
operate.
The president has not taken the pub
lic into his confidence; he has not an
nounced what his object may be in
calling an extra session, but it is diffi
cult to figure out how anything could
be gained on a railway rate bill at a
session convening only three weeks in
advance of the regular session. It takes
that long for the house to orgainze,
elect a speaker, and for the speaker to
appuwi. uuwinitiees, ana me senate con
sumes almost as much time in its or
ganization.
STANDS BY ALLY.
Japan's Peace Conditions Will Receive
indorsement of Great Britain.
Washington, Aug. 1. Japan comes
to the Washington conference assured
that, whatever her peace terms, they
will have the sympathetic approval of
Great Britain. Several suggestions
from Washington to London that the
cause of peace would be served by an
explanation to Japan from her ally fa
voring moderation in her demands up
on Russia have not availed to change
me .British government in its apparent
ly unalterble determination to stand by
Japan, however severe she makes her
conditions of peace. Nor has the Brit
ish government seen its way clear to
render assistance to Washi nffton in the
enans wnicn tnis government is mak
ing to oDtain an armistice.
Advices reaching here show that
London is opposed to an armistice until

this event she would, it is said nnt ho

subject.
EDISON'S NEW BATTERY.
Inventor Says It Will Be Cheaper and
Lighter Than Present Ones.
New York, Aug. 1. Thomas A. Edi
son has made the declaration that he
has solved the problem of providing
cheap and serviceable electric traction
for vehicles. .
"By October mv lie-lit hatterv-mill he

ready to equip automobiles of all de
scriptions," he said. "To reach the
goal for which I aimed and keen d
the cost to a trifling portion of what
present batteries cost to keep alive, I
determined upon a simple combination
of iron rust, potash and nickel - rnat
or a time it failed me, but now I have
accomplished the result with these in
gredients, and a new light battery is an
accepted fact. It will weigh one-half
of the present batteries in general use
and will be about the same size, al
though it stands somewhat higher
its proportion than the other. As

SLUMP IN CHITTAM BARK.
Product Goes from 20 Cents Down
to 3 Cents a Pound.
Albany This is an off vear with the
chittam bark people. For the last two
years a great amount of money has
been put in circulation through the
medium of this medicinal bark, hnn
dreds of people spending their nntino
in iue wooas peeling the bark. The
price ofthe commodity soared up past
the 20-cent mark, and those who were
fortunate enough to seenre a raliiahie
belt of chittam timber netted a neat
income. Little boys who had never
earned a dollar in their life lined their
pockets last year and the year before at
me rate oi irom fit to J7 per day.
as me result oi the great increase in
price, many tons of the rasnara or
chittam, bark were gathered and sack
ed, only to lie in some warehouse un
sold. This overproduction canned'
slump in the market, and this year the
DarK is going ior 3 to 34 cents per
pouna.

China, in determining what indemnity

not only the reduction in public reve

years of illegal occunation f that All Tl
try. He assumes that Japan will keeD
uor Wuru ana nana over Manchuria to
China, but thinks it will be impossible
for China to install thn old form rtt
government there, since the improve
ments the Russians and-Japanese have
introduced make a modern system f

mat conciuaes:
"China will not loncer nlair the role
of a mere spectator, but will assert her

AFTER BIG FELLOWS
One Millionaire In Jail Worth a
Thousand Others. v
STATEMENT OF ATTORNEY HENEY
Doea Not Believe in Convicting Man
Who Haa Been Bought and
Letting Buyer Go Free.
Portland, Aug. 1. Scathing in hi
denunciation of graft in public life
merciless in his arraignment of the mo
tives of the defendants, severe in hi
charges against the attorneys for th&
defense, dramatic in his earnestness of
speech and effort, Francis J. Heney
made his argument yesterday in pre
senting the case of the
the Wilhamson-Gesner-Biggs trial to.
Those high in nnhlic life i
. w " UDCU
their offices for private gain and for the.
practice oi illegal business were held
up before the jury as men worse than
thieves and robbers.
It has been intimated hv the a
fense m this case," said Mr. Heney,
'that I have told the witneeoea
they came before the grand jury aa
witnesses that I was not after the little
fish, but after the big ones. Tt k..
been insinuated that back of my move
ments lurked a political motive, but I
need only to bring this to mind for you
to know how false it is. Though tho.
defense has never been able to get a.
witness to say that I told him I was
after the bie fish. I will sav it. mvneif
I am after the big fish, and as long as
mere is a hook and a line or a bit of
tackle in the government box T will
keep after them. Graft is ruining-
Eussia today : graft ruined "Rnmo f Via..
ancient empire of the woiM, and, un
less the juries of the nation sustain the
laws of the United States,, graft will
ruin this country."
Turning to the defendants And their-
motives, the attorney held tha4 when a.
gumjr man attempts to prove defense
for himself he alwavs hews as close to.
the truth as possible. "But crime-
leaves its scar upon the conscience and
the mind," said Mr. Heney, "until if
we open wide enough the windows of
the soul we can see the markings left.
It is this consciousness of scar that has
led the defendants m this case to nlan
the defense they have. I am after the
big nsh l do not want the poor devils
who have been seduced thronirh the in..
fluence of power and wealth. I want
the big fish. One millionaire in the
penitentiary is worth one thousand of
the poor devils he bought, as an exam
ple to the world."
WAR WITH BRITAIN IMMINENT.
German Paper Says German Navy Is
Ready for Action.
Berlin. Aug. 1. A very considerahle..
sensation has been caused by the pub
lication in the Tegel Zeitung of a state
ment that a war between Germanv and
Great Britain is imminent. The paper
says:
"According to the most reliahle in
formation furnished to the editor, war
between this nation and England mav
not be averted. All German warships-
have been fully prepared for prompt
