Made to Save th Murderer's Life Union Pacific Wins. BDokane. Wash.. July t Two sensation al arrests were made tttr today In con nection with a gigantic .conspiracy to de fraud the government by Issuing illegal Chinese registration certificates. Those arrested are James Graham, register of the land office, Coeur r Alene City, and Edward Rick. Warrants are also in the hands of the deputy United States mar shal for the arrest of Wm. Floyd Folttird and Harry Tolton, formerly of thl city, but now of Kendriek, Idaho. The com plaints are sworn to by F. D. Schuyler, the Chinese Inspector recently sent out by. the treasury department at Washing ton, with headquarters at Seattle. It has been known for some time past that a conspiracy existed and tout begun certificates had been issued by persons in this section of the state and In Idaho, and the treasury department detailed Mr. Schuyler to come here' and investigate the matter. Three hundred bogus cvrt tllicates have been printed by the con spirators, bat how many have been put in circulation has not yet been ascer tained. It is alleged ly Schuyler that Graham Is one of the chief Instigators with several other prominent officials con itfected with the treasury department, In having the certificates made, and that Rick was employed to engrave the seal from a sketch made by Pollard, and that Tolton and one Earnest Dempster, with several others not yet arrested, did the printing.

Rick also gave bonds In the sum of $o00, for his appearance before Com missioner Kenyon. Wednesday. Graham said: "I wUs astonished today when 'arrested. I have absolutely no knowledge of or any connection with this affair, and in my opinion It Is a conspi racy on the part of ScJUyler to manu facture a little cheUp notoriety for him self." MURDERER ELECTROCUTED. New York, July 1. Seldom, if ever be fore in the history of criminal procedure In this country, has there been such a determined and untiring legai fight made to save or prolong the Jlfe of a con. demned murderer as that which was made to behalf of Dr. R. W. Buchanan, the convicted wife poisoner, who was electrocuted today. Buchanan has prac tically been on the 'threshold of the death cell no less than three times since he was sentenced. Dr. R. W. Buchanan, began business as a drug clerk in Halifax, N. S. He was a graduate of the College of Physicians, Chicago, and also of the University of Edlnburg, Scotland. He marrkd Miss Helen J. Patterson, and they went to New York to live. He soon became dissipated and they separated. After a divorce he married Annie Sutherland, a wealthy sporting womUiii old enough to be his mother. She became 111 in April, 1692, and two witnesses saw t'hke doctor give his wife two spoonsful ot medicine and the next night she died. At the funeral he laughed and joked and told many people that the dead woman had left him $10,000. In one month he secretly re-married his divorced wife In Halifax, N. 8., and they returned to New York under tan assumed name. As the facts leaked out through the papers Buchanan became frightened and spread the report that the deceased woman, was addicted to the- morphine habit. In a burst of confidence he said to a friend: ''I wish to God I had cre mated her; then the newspapers and authorities could go to hell." On June 6th the body was disinterred and an autopsy held. The following day Buchanan was arrested on a charge of murder. His trial cost the county about $30,000. BICYCLE RACES. Toronto, July 1.

NOMINAL DAMAGES ASSESSED Jury Examine the Property and Af ter Hearing Witnesses Assess - Damages at $75. The suit of the Astoria and Columbia River Railway vs. H. W. Corbett et. el., for right of way through the lUtter's dock property below, tha Parker House occupied the entire attention of the cir cuit court yesterday. A special jury was selected from resi dents of the surrounding country in Clat sop county and the larger part of the day was consumed la the examination of witnesses as to the value of the property ind the'benents to be derived by its own er from the building of the railroad. A large number of witnesses were examined, among them Dr. A. Kinney and D. K. Warren, for the road; and Mr. Corbett in his own behalf and Mr. Glllett, of Port land, for the defense. The evidence for the defense largely showed that the prop erty in its present condition was not worth a largo sum land that it was not producing much Income; ' that it would undoubtedly be mode valuable and a' pro fit producer with the advent of the rail road. The jiuy went In a body about noon and examined! the property, through which a fifty-foot: right of way Is (asked. Mr. Corbett in his defense claimed $,000 damages by reason of tho loss of the fifty -foot strip. In the late afternoon counsel made their arguments. C. W. Fulton and Judge Tay lor appeared for the railroad and Judge StrUhan for Mr. Corbett. Judge Taylor opened the case by arguing the points of law and citing the authorities in sup port of their suit. He stated to the Jury the bearing of the law upon the matters at Issue and the points of evidence ad duced in the trial. In .terse and well chosen language he drew the naturul de ductions to be made from the evidence and the law and rested his argument. Judge Strahan replied and pointed out some difference of opinion in the authori ties and In his talk to the Jury stated that it was not possible to reullze the rosy hued picture of prosperity drawn by some ot the witnesses and that while he heartily-wished alt of the prosperity and happiness, mapped out by the projectors of the railroad might be realized, yet the cold foot remained the mere building of the little road to Goble to connect with the defunct Northern Pactflo would not accomplish the desired result. He con tended - tlitit the measure of damages to be awarded his client must be guaged by the market value of the property and that other considerations did not much enter Into the problem. Mr. C. W. Fulton, for the railroad, then made his argument In rebuttal. He show ed the property through which right of way was desired was only a whUrfage privilege and not a fee simple title; that the property was on the Columbia river below low "Water tide mark and to which all had a certain right; that Mr. Corbett held Ian undivided one-half Interest in same; that the other owner had donated his interest to the railroad, in the strip claimed, and that it was a question which half Mr. Corbett owned. He further stated that the evidence showed that the wharf was In ta. dilapidated condition and had been standing since 1867, that It, had cost the owner much money In repairs ana taxes, out had brought in no com. mensurate income and never would un less something was done to enhance Its value; that the defendant probably saw an of port unity, in his sagacious and far- seeing financiering ability, to make the citizens of Astoria pay him enough dam. ajes on the old wharf to enable him to build h. new one to the dock line beyond the railroad, which would reap trim rich rewards. Mr. Fulton further said that Mr. Cor ibett was held In the highest esteem in the state at large, and by Astorlans In particular, for his shrewdness and busi ness ability, and upright character, . but that they did not agree with him as to the measure of damages on this piece of property, out oeuevea that his profits. along with that of all others, would be enhanced five times and outweigh any aamage tnat ought accrue, and that all of these facts, as well as the earning ca pacity of the property should be taken into consideration in assessing the dam. ages claimed. On tho other hand, they tmougnt tnat Mr. corbett should not only freely deed the right of way to the road. but. should pfiy about the amount of dam ages claimed for making his property vaiuapie ana an income producer. The case was given to the Jury at 7:30 ana otter about an hour's deliberation, they returned a verdict for the defend ant, fcsaesslng his damages at $71!. Five days wre allowed by the court In which to file an appeal. STATE NEWS. Interesting Items Culled From Oregon's Leading Newspapers.

Among the new machinery Is an addi tional set of cards, a new loom, making nine In all, and some minor machinery, all of which will Increase the capacity of the mill considerably.

Cline of Woodburn Is about to enter into a contract with the people of Eugane to haul their freight from Corvallls to that city with his larga traction engine. Mr. Cline will repair the roUds and bridges at his own coat, so as to make them safe and passable for his engine and haul their freight at so much per ton, provided the business men of Eugene) guarantee him a given quan tity ot freight. Mr. Cline is a man who stands high among business men where ever he Is known, and the business men of Eugene can implicitly rely upon hli to carry out; to the very letter whatever he promises to perform.
