PEACE ENVOYS MEET.
Brought Together on Naval Yacht and
Introduced by President. ,
Oyster Bay, Aug. . At 1:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the formal recep
tion of tiie representatives of the bel
ligerent powers by President Koosevelt
on lehaH of the t inted States govern
ment took place on the cruiser May-
flower. It was a notable demonstration
in honor of the distinguished guests,
envoys of their countries to the peace
conference.
The Mavtlower, the finest vessel of
her class in the navy, was tastefully
decorated for the invasion. The lean
tiful inteiior finishings were ornament
ed with cut flowers and smilax, inter
twined with the national colore of Rus
sia and Japan. The colors of the two
nations aUo fluttered from the vessel's
masts.
The Japanese and Russian plenipo
tentiaries left New York in the morn
ing on two cruisers for Oyster Hay,
where they met the president. The
Japanese made the trip on the cruiser
Tacoma and the Russian envoys were
conveyed to their destination aloard
the Chattanooga.
Constantine Nakakoff, of the Russian
foreign office, when asked whether
Russia would agree to a cession of ter
ritory or payment of indemnity, two
points on which it is believed that
Japan will insist, replied:
"I don t think so.
Sato, the Japanese spokesman, asked
how prospects looked, said:
"Not very bright, but we are hope
ful."
Karly in the morning the president's
naval vacht Sylph and invited guests
arrived, and at 1 o'clock President
Roosevelt boarded the Mavtlower. He
was greeted w ith the presidential salute
of 21 guns as he went on board.
Raron Komura and Minister Takahira
and their suites left the Chattanooga
in a launch and proceeded to the May
flower. As they boarded the vessel a
salute of 21 guns was given. The en
voys were received on deck by Com
mander Winslow and escorted to the
main cabin, where they were presented
to the president by Assistant Secretary
Pierce. The same ceremony was then
enacted for the Russian plenipoten
tiaries, Sergius Witte and Ambassador
Rosen .
The envovs of the two powers were
then presented formally to one another
by President Roosevelt, after which all
partook of a luncheon.
The Japanese envoys were then con
veyed to the dispatch boat Dolphin, on
which they sailed for Portsmouth,
New Hampshire. Witte and his party
remained on the Mayflower, which
weighed anchor at the same time as the
Dolphin and started on its cruise, con
voyed by the crusier Galveston.
AUCTIONS OFF LOVERS" GIFTS.
Remembrances from Alice Rootevelt't
Admirers Sold at Church Fair.
Washintgon, Aug 7. There are
things doing in the St. Hilda society
connected with Christ church in Oyster
Bay, This little guild is Mrs. Roose
velt's pet charity, and this fact being
spread broadcast, treasures and trophies
for its fairs are not lacking. Indeed
some remarkable objects find their
way to the bazars, and there is a faint
suggestion that the first lady of the
land, w ith the practical sense for which
she is noted, utilizes many of the use
less gifts w hich come her way to raise
money for her church.
"Princess" Alice also receives cart
loads of dainty perfumes, photographs
and such trifles from her lovelorn ad
mirers, who would doubtless bo over
come if they could see some of their
votive offerings displayed on the bazar
tables.
Restraint Pool Selling.
Portland, Aug. 7. Presiding Circuit
Judge Frazer has granted a preliminary
order restraining the Multnomah Fair
association from selling pools on races

REACH NO VERDICT
Second Trial o! Land Fraud Case
Troves fruitless.
30 BALLOTS WITHOUT CHANGE
Proposal to Convict Getner and Biggs
and Clear Williamson Wat De
feated by One Juror.
Portland, Aug 5. John X. William
son, Dr. Van Gesner and Marion K.
Biggswill have to face trial on August
28 for the third time, on the charge of
conspiracy to sultorn perjury. After
having strived for 45 hours to reach
some conclusion, the jury in the Wil
liamson case came into court, and upon
its own request was discharged by
Judge IV Haven. At only one time did
the government cause hold the majority
vote, that lning during the first three
ballots, when seven of the jurors voted
to acquit, the vote then changing to six
for conviction and an equal number tot
acquittal, where it hung without in
terruption through 30 ballots. At an
other time those voting to acquit pro
posed to their comrades to convict Ges
ner and Biggs, provided Williamson
should be acquitted, but Henry J.
Keene would not consent to the agree
ment, and no change was made in the
vote. George Kirk, after having votetl
for three times to convict, changed his
ballot to the other ham! and refused to
make another decision. According to
the story told by several of the jurors,
it was apparent early in the course of
the deliberations that no verdict could
be readied, and the sulueqiient ballots
were taken more as a matter of form
than with the expectation that any
change would le shown.
The bone of contention seemed to be
in regard to the existence of a contract.
and in the question of intention on the
part of the defendants to do wrong.
OFFICIALS FILE ON CLAIMS.
Nome People Much Exercised and
Threaten Drastic Measures.
Seattle, Aug 5. Advices received in
this city tonight from Nome by the
steamship Ohio state that the people of
Nome are up in arms against the gov
ernment officials and their actions in
filing upon valuable mining claims.
The Nome Nugget in a long article
charges the officials with using illegal
methods and taking advantage of their
position to possess themselves of many
valuable claims which are obtained by
relocating. The Nugget prints com
parative tables showing the number of
Claims held by the government officials
and their relatives or assistants, and
also the number held by the leading
mining and business men of Nome and
vicinity.
Officers of the Ohio report that the
people are greatly exercised over the
matter and are talking of drastic meas
ures if the authorities at Washington
do not investigate the matter.

Steamship company's fleet.
Captain Charles O'Brien, master of
the Seattle, states that since the short
rains which served to extinguish the
forest fires which burned in that part
of the country a month or more ago,
the weather has been hot and dry, and
that the fires have started up again,
and are as bad as before.
The forests are on fire both on the
islands which till the inside passage
and along the mainland, and unless
rain falls soon it is feared that the tim
ber lues will be serious.

ther into the irregularities of the land

various abuses growing out of the non
observance of the law.
Judge IV Haven has found that it
will Ite necessary for him to go to San
Francisco at once to attend to business
which has arisen in his court in that
city. At first it was thought that an
other judge could I hi shifted to that
district, and Judge IH Haven could
finish the duty undertaken by him of
hearing to the end the land cases now
ending. This was found not to lie
Hssitle. however, by Judge Gilliert,
of the Circuit court, and after some ne
gotiations Judge Hunt has leen assigned
to the Portland court for the remainder
of the land cases.
QUARANTINED ON ALL SIDES
Militia and Armed Pottet Block All
Travel Through South.
New Orleans, Aug. 4. The excite
ment in the country districts seems to
have grown more acute with the dis
covery of casB at various points. In
this connection the doctors are disposed
to question whether all the cases that
appear can properly be traced to New
Orleans. A whole train load of passengers on
the Iron Mountain road has leen held
up in Concordia Parish, removed from
any habitation, for some time. The
passengers have leen loud in their tele
graphic protests to the Railroad com
mission, declaring that they have had
neither food nor water, and that noth
ing has been done to relieve them from
a distressing situation. F.fTorts are le
ing made to move the train.
Monroe, I-a., with fever on three
sides of her, has put militia and armed
citizens on every road leading into her
limits. New Ileria, I-a., has decided
to guard against infection by the use of
titles. Many of the smaller towns are
passing mosquito ordinances.
Alexandria has completely liottled
herself up, but in order to save herself
and the parish from starvation she has
permitted the running of a train, thor
oughly fumigated, three times a week
to bring in provisions and other sup
plies. DISCHARGE LIKELY.
Second Jury In Land Fraud Catet
Seemt Likely to Ditagree.
Portland, Aug. 4. Afrter 33 hours
of argument and ineffectual endeavor
to agree upon a verdict, the twelve
weary men on the Williamson-Grtiner-Biggs
jury went to what rest could lie
gained in the crowded and stuffy jury
room last night at 11 o'clock. Seven
of the men, so it is rumored, hold that
the defendants have not been proved to
have committed the crime charged in
the indictment and wish to return a
verdict in accordance with their belief.
Five men hold the opposite, that crime
has been proved by the evidence of the
government, and wish to return a ver
dict of gulity. One other story has it
that the jury is evenly divided, six
men wishing to convict and six to
acqit. Whether or not either of these
stories is true, the fact remains that
there is a serious disagreement, and as
time has passed, the conviction has
growing around the Federal building
that there will be no verdict returned.
Tear Off American Coatt.
Victoria, B. C, Aug. 4. Advices
from Canton state that, when a dele
gate of the Chinese boycott movement
against America was explaining to stu
dents in Canton schools the nature of
the agitation, he pointed out that many
students wore tunics made of American
cloth. These were at once torn from
the backs of the students. Various
vernacular Chinese papers have given
notice that no American business no
tices or any news regarding Americans
was to be published in their pajicrs
after July 18.

sin and Minnesota, as a result of a
meeting of eight state insurance com
mit ioners held here today. Another
result of the conference is to be the in
terstate investigation of all large insur
ance companies, so that alleged misap
plication of fundi and mismanagement
may become a thing of the past.
Only Fag Enda of Strike Remain,
Chicago, Aug. 4. Police have been
removed from the wagons of many firms
thatliave been strikebound for four
months. Correspondingly many union
drivers were restored to their old places.
The Employers' association, following

aaeociation to reinstate union teamsters
in a body, hat decided to lift the ban
