Perrin were yesterday convicted of conspiracy to defraud the United States government in securing 12,000 acres of land in Te- lmma county. l h e verdict, which means a fine and term of imprisonment, was returned by a jury in the United States District court after being out about an heur. Benson and Dr. Perrin were allowed to retain their liberty on hall. Judge De Haven set Thursday as a day for passing sentence. J. C. Campbell made the closing ar gument for the defense at the morning session, and in the afternoon United States District Attorney Devlin cloeed for the prosecution, summing up the case in a forcible manner. In his charge Judge De Haven instructed the jurors that if they found from the evi dence that Dr. Perrin had at any time subsequent to October 31, 1903, taken advantage of the contract w ith Benson he should be found guilty as cliarged. After the jury had been out about half an hour they filed back into court and asked for a reading of letters Perrin wrote from Washington, Snell’ s reply and that part of the charge relating to Dr. Perrin’ s liability in connection with the Benson contract. A verdict was returned within ten minutes after the request of the jury had been granted. Dr. Perrin took the verdict very hard and was comforted by his two sons. Benson appeared to be dumfounded at the result. The punishment provided by the stat ute is a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000 and imprisonment for not less than two years. Chicago, Aug. 19.— Important devel opments in the strike of the Commer cial Telegraphers are looked for today by both disputants. Confident lf)|t the strike lias spent its force, and that the turning point has been leeched, the telegraph companies look for a stam pede o f the strikers to regain their (or mer positions. Cheered by the reports they have re ceived from the various cities afferted, the strike leaders on the other hand are prepared to prosecute the fight more vigorously than ever. Aaccording to advices received at union headquarters, the messenger boys and check clerks in New York are scheduled to go out today. Broker firms throughout the country have been given until Doon today to Bign contracts with their operators or suffer the conse quences of a walkout. , Three hundred operators employed by the Ameircan Telephone A Telegraph com pany throughout the Southwest may be called out before night, unless a 10 per cent increase in wages is grant ed. This is one of the trump cards which President Small expects to play. If the order is issued it w ill isolate Chicago from the rest of the country, so far as telephonic communication is concerned.

Portland, Aug. 20.— “ General condi tions are im proving,” said R . T. Reid, district superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph company, who was in this city yesterday from Seattle. “ There has not been a day since the strike began, a week ago, that our com pany has not had enough good opera tors to handle all business, and they could have done so, but for the m ali cious interference with our wires by the railroad telegraphers. W e have a num ber of secret service men and inspec tors, who are on duty at suspected points and we propose to arrest and prosecute every man who is found tam pering with our wires. However, there has been lees disturbance on this ac count today than any otiier day since our operators walked out. “ Six months ago the operatois in the employ of the Western Union through out the Northwest were as one large happy fam ily. But that condition has been replaced by discord ever since the men came under the influence of Sam J./Sm all, president of their national or ganization. The men had no grievances and what is more they deliberately wsIked out without being so much as ordered. It was not until then that they formulated a statement of griev ances to be presented to the company. The same course was pursued by the messengers. “ The trouble is not that the men have grievances, not that they were kept from their positions by intimida tion. They would rather not work at all. Take the Portland office today, for instance. The com pany is paying $3 a day for messengers. Seven men accepted positions as messengers this morning and before night six of them had quit their positions.” s a il o r s .

San Francisco, Aug. 19.— Five cases of bubonic plague, four of which have resulted in death, have been reported to the Health department within the past week. The patients, with one ex ception, were of the poorer class of foreigners dw elling in the neighbor hood of the old Chinatown. The ex ception was a foreign sailor taken from a coastwise steamer. Prompt and active measures were taken by the local, state and Federal authorities, and Bpread of the disease is not feared. Both President Jules A. Simon, of the health board, and Health Officer James T. Watkins stated today that the situation is well in hand and no occasion exists for alarm. The in fected steamer was ordered into quar antine with her passengers and will so remain until released by the Health department. The two shacks inhab- ited by the other patients were fum i gated, locked up and sealed. The bodies of the two Mexicans, Ital ian and Russian Pole, who succumbed, were destroyed in quicklime.

One morning the snake and mon key were found In dendly battle. The monkey was killed and the anake crawl ed Into Its skull and circled about In It, entering in at one eye and out of another.

If Roosevelt decides against the cheetah as an easy victor over a bulldog be will have to do so over the words o f seven British marines, stanch and true. The cheetah was chained to the port rail on the sun deck and wus uncon cernedly washing hla face as the two men discussed him. " I ’ve got a dog that can do that cat in about two minutes,” said the long shoreman. “ Bring along the dog,” said the steve dore. The cheetah paid no particular atten tion to the dog when the latter was let go and made for the chained animal. It went calmly on wiping its face in its morning ablutions.
