VIGOROUS PROTEST MADE BYNIGARAGUA Representative of Dr. Madriz Presents Formal Statement to United States. WASHINGTON. Protest against the action of the state department of the United States in refusing to rec ognise as binding under international law, the order of Dr. Madrix. provi sional president of Nicaragua, declar ing Bluefie'.ds a closed port, and in refusing further to take seriously Nor way's recognition of this order, was made by Corry M. Stadden, counsel here for the titular government in Nicaragua. The statement in part says: "King Haakon, having recognised President Madrix as the de jure, as well as defacto government of Nica ragua, as all other -powers witk the exception of the United States hav ing diplomatic relations with Nica ragua have done, it was eminently proper for him to recognize the de cree closing the port of Bluefields. This action was based upon a formal protest that vessels flying the Nor wegian flag had committed hostile acts toward a friendly government" Mr. Stadden's statement concludes with the observation that "If the state department will diligently observe in ternational obligations due to a friendly state, the insurrection will soon be suppressed, with due care for the preservation of American lives and property." NORWAY MAKES MISTAKE CHRISTIANIA, Norway. The for eign office states that the action of the Norwegian government In regard to the right of vessels flying the Nor wegian flag, to enter the port of Blue fields, declared -under blockade, fol lowed the receipt of a communication from the Nicaraguan government This communication, s hlch came to Norway through its legation at Ha vana, set forth that the port of Blue fields had been closed to foreign com merce in consequence of the condi tions prevailing in that country. It Is Intimated that the Norwegian government acted under a misappre hension as to the Nicaraguan situa tion, and hence the statement of the foreign office explaining what it did and how it came to do it. Cabinet Officers Mix In Polities VANCOUVER, B. C On their way to Alaska, where It is understood they are going at the request of President Taft to investigate and straighten po litical conditions in that territory, U. S. Attorney Wickersham and Secre tary of Commerce and Labor Nagel arrived here from the East and took up quarters at once on the steamer Albatross on which they sailed Mon day morning. Although Secretary Nagel, speaking for Wickersham, wh. felt .Indisposed, would not admit it and steered around the subject, it is Intimated that the Alaskan political situation needs smoothing out at once in order that the party leaders can give their attention to fighting the growing insurgency movement In many of the states. RAILROADS WIN VICTORY Interstate Commission Not Upheld In Cutting Charges From Coast. ST. PAUL. The railroads won a substantial victory in the findings of Frederick N. Dickson, master in chan eery. These are the preliminary find ings in the lumber rate suit institut ed in the fall of 1908 against the in terstate commerce commission by the Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Union Pacific, and Burlington. The railroads asked for a rate of 50 cents a hundred on lumber shipped from Portland, Or., to St. Paul, and for 60 cents for Portland to Chicago. The interstate commerce commission cut this to 45 cents from Portland to Bt Paul and 55 cents from Portland to Chicago. Mr. Dickson upholds the contentions of the railroads. Indignant Women Parade.

Patten, .the erstwhile "cotton king," sailed for Europe on the steamer Kroonland. CARDINAL GIBBONS.

Three From Here At State Assembly Hockett, Hyatt, and Miller Represent Wallowa County Convention Republicans, Dr. C. T. Hotkett, G. W. Hyatt, and A. C. Miller returned Saturday from Portland, where they attended the Republican assembly as delegates. Being the only o.is present from Wallowa, they cast the full 18 votes allotted to this county, voting them all for Bowerman for governor. Mr. Hockett says It was a great meeting, and everything was harmo nious. No other candidate for gov srnor except Bowerman had a ghost of a show, as the Condon man had gone 'out early and secured the votes. The convention took great pleas ure in turning down Harvey Scott-s nephew, Duniway, for state printer. Clarke, editor of the Gervals Star, was nominated for that office. That was practically the only deviation from the slate. Several of the joInUcounty dis tricts took advantage of the occa sion and made nominations, but . lone was made by the Wallowa and Jnlon delegates. The latter asked -he Wallowa delegates to name iomeone for representative and Dr. Hockett was proposed, but he vetoed -he suggestion because a larger rep resentation of our county was not present.
