1 KNOX SENDS SHARP
NOTE TO MADRIZ
Nicaraguan President Undiplo
matic in Censuring United
Stales Government.
Washington, June 20. Madrlz has
drawn from this government a sharp
rei'ly to the protests he made to the
Pr.sldent alleging that the United
States 'has prolonged the war in Nic
aragua because It refuses to allow
the bombardment of Bluefields or to
allow the Venus to maintain a block
ade there.
Consul Ollvares, of Managua, has
been furnished with a statement to
band to Madrlz. It tersely observes
tiat If any violation of neutrality has
o :curred, it was when the Venus sail
ed from New Orleans as an expedi
tion of the Madrlz faction.
Madrlz' Protest General.
Madrlz protested not to the United
States alone, but to all the South
American and Central American re
publics. . The statements in his tele
gram are construed by the State De
partment as an effort to place in a
false light the policy oi the United
States in regard to Nicaragua. Some
governments that received his protest
have asked for information from
Washington upon which to base their
replies and there has been an ex
change of telegrams between Presi
dent Diaz and President Taft..
Information Sent to Mexico.
President Diaz, It Is explained, mere
ly asked for information, and Presi
dent Taft, replying in a cordial man
ner, sent to the government at Mex
ico City the same statement whicfl
consul Ollvares has been directed to
hand to Madrlz.'
Secretary Knox decided that the
Madrlz protest required the special
notice of this government because
the allegations made evidently were
founded on errors as to the actual
facts and applicable to the principle
of war.

NEWS FROMlllR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
What Our Lawmakers Are L
ing and Other Items of
Importance.
Washington, D. C. The administra
tion's, railroad bill is now a law, hav
ing passed both house and senate and
been signed by the president. The bill
Is substantially In accordance with the
president's message demanding
amendments to the Interstate com
merce laws. About the only excep
tions are that It does not legalize hold
ing agreements made by railroads, or
permit the regulation or the issuance
of stocks and bonds. It creates a com
merce court and broadens the scope of
the Jurisdiction of the Interstate com
merce commission regarding rail
roads. Statehood Bill Passes.
The house concurred in the senate
amendments to the statehood bill and
passed the measure without sending it
into conference.
It cannot be stated definitely when
Arizona and Ne'w Mexico will come
into the Union, as the constitutions
adopted by the proposed states must
be ratified by congress and approved
by the president It will be necessary
for the territories to hold constitu
tional conventions, which will require
many weeks, submit the constitution
to the people of the territories for
adoption, and then return them to
Washington;
Neither City Favored.
Unwilling to favor either of the rival
Panama exposition cities, San Fran
cisco or New Orleans, the house com
mittee on foreign affairs decided to re
port favorably two resolutions, author
izing the president' to invite foreign
nations to participate In each exposi
tion to be held In the two cities, when
ever each city had raised $7,500,000
for the purpose of holding its exposi
tion. The senate committee has taken
no action on similar measures, and
neither house is expected to act on
them during the present session.
Batlinger Probe Walts.
The chances of a verdict from the
Balllnger-Pinchot Investigating com
mittee during the present session of
congress are remote. The committee
held a meeting behind closed doors
and Senator Nelson said after the
meeting that he did not think it would
be possible for the committee to con
clude Its labors before the adjourn
ment of congress. The committee has
authority to meet during the recess of
congress and It is possible that the report-will
be completed and given to
the public during the mmmer or fall.
Cannon Defends Rules.
The old rules of the house were de
fended and critics of the speaker were
severely scored by Speaker Cannon in
a brief address In the session of .the
house. Mr. Cannon contened that the
rules as amended by the fifty-first con
gress and as enforced by him, had
never lnterferred with the will of the
majority of the house when an actual
majority bad objected on any propo
sition. Session Nears End.
Congressional leaders confidently
expect to wind up the present ses
sion this week, and adjourn not later
than Saturday. If the session Is car
ried beyond that time it will be be
cause of amendments to the general
deficiency bill or complications in con
nection with the omnibus public build
ing bill.
Public Building Appropriations.

the house, contains the following Ore
gon and Washington items: Public

Salmon Export Limited.
The bill prohibiting the exportation
of sockeye salmon from the United
States, except when frozen, canned or

ITEMS OF INTEREST
THROUGHOUT OREGON
Chronicle of Important Events
of Interest to Our
Readers.
Bowerman Acting Governor.
Salem. Oregon has acquired a new
governor, for the time being. He is
Jay Bowerman of Condon and suc
ceeds to the office because of and by
virtue ot his position as president ot
the Oregon state senate. The consti
tution of Oregon provides that In the
event of the resignation, absence or
other disability of both the Governor
and secretary of state, the president
of the senate shall perform the offices
of the chief executive. The accumu
lation of state business caused Gov
ernor Benson who is receiving treat
ment for a bothersome affliction of
the face, to call on Mr. Bowerman to
relieve the executive office at Salem
of the congestion.
It is believed by H. L. Benson,
brother to the governor, that If the
governor is allowed to remain in San
Francisco long enougn. his physicians
will be able to restore him to his for
mer health. Heretofore the governor
has been compelled to return before
the course of treatment had been com
pleted, necessarily to his great disad
vantage. 6tate Wins Suit.
Salem. The state ot Oregon won a
victory over the Corvallls & Eastern
Railway company in the Circuit court
when Judge Galloway decided the case
of the railroad against the state land
board in favor of the board. This was
an Injunction action to restrain the
land board from selling a small quan
tity of tldeland in AUea Buy, and In
itself was unimportant, but Involving
as it does title to thousands of acres
of tide and submerged lands In Alsea,
Yaqulna and Slletz bays, the outcome
has been awaited with Interest.
The company set up that the legis
lature of 1874 had ceded to the prede
cessors In interest of the Corvallls ft
Eastern Railway company all the tide
lands In the three bays named; that
the railroad company's right bad be-,
come a vested one and that no sub
sequent session of the legislature had
the power to revoke the action of the
session of 1874.
Government Takes Invoice of Timber.
. Eugene. Fifteen or more etpert
timber cruisers in the employ of the
government are now In Eugene ready
to start for the Cascade forest reset ve,
where they will make a careful crulae
of all of the timber of the entire wa
tershed of the Willamette river and
its tributaries. They will make a com
plete survey of the entire forest and
classify the land, segregating the tim
ber into logging units, and expect to
be at the work all this summer ana a
greater part of next
' This Is the first attempt of the gov
ernment to take an Inventory of Its
timber resources, and hereafter it will
know Just what it has and will be able
to dispose of It with some Justice to
itself and fairness to its citizenship.
Not Enough Votes In District.
Salem. According to a ruling mad
by the secretary of state's office, there
were not enough votes cast by the
democrats for their nominee for con
gressman in the second congressional
district two years ago for that party
to nominate a candidate under the di
rect primary law. The nominations
will have to be made under the old
system.
The direct primary law provides
that a political party is not a party in
a congressional district unless it can
cast 25 per cent at least, of the total
vote cast for congressman.
Girl Graduate Win Medal.
Albany. The Frank J. Miller,
medal for the graduating class of
1910 at Albany college has been

jf the college, to the member of the
