REBELS DELAY BATTLE j DOINGS IN OREGON
Hayti Situation Appear* Dismal for
Government Forces.
Port au Prince, Dec. 2.— The ex­
pected battle between the revolution­
ists and the troops o f the govern­
ment, which are entrenched a few
miles outside the city Is likely to be
deferred for several days.
U Is believed that the altuatlon, so
far as the government Is concerned,
1 b lost. Louis Borno, Minister of
State, has handed In his resignation
and taken refuge In the Oerman le­
gation. and there now remain In o f­
fice only three of the high govern­
mental officers. All of the other
Ministers have resigned with the ex­
ception of Oeneral Celestln Cyrlaque,
who, after his recent defeat by the
Insurgents, Is believed to have found
acvlum In one of the foreign con­
sulates.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 30.— The
House committee on ways and
means, which is to frame the tariff
bll at the special session of Congress,
will evidently have to be convinced
that the hopgrowers of America are
really In need of greater protection
than they receive under the Dingley
law, before they will grant the de­
mand for Increased duty, made at
the recent hearing by Herman Kla-
ber o f Portland, and E. C. Horst of
San Francisco. These two gentle­
men were th* sole representatives
of hopgrowers to appear before the
committee and were given but scant
opportunity to present their argu­
ments, but the committee plainly
showed that It was more Impressed
by the fact that large quantities of
American hopB are being annually
exported, than they were by state­
ments of the serious condition of the
hop Industry, due to heavy Impor­
tations from Europe.

Settler Wins Hi* Case.
Portland— An Important decision
has been rendered at Washington, D.
C., by S. V'. Proudflt, Acting Commis­
sioner of the General Laud Office,
respecting the rights of settlers who
have squatted on unsurveyed timber
land which is sought to be acquired
by other Interests subsequently by
the application of scrip thereon The
case decided is that of Robert M.
Wonderly against the Northern Pa­
cific Company and the Weyerhaeuser
Timber Company.
Early in 1900 Wonderly and sev­
eral other residents of Falls City
each squatted on a quarter section
of unsurveyed timber land just out­
side of the SUetz Indian Reserva­
tion and made the necessary im­
provements, Intending to file on the
land as a homestead as soon as the
survey could be had and approved.
A few months after the settlers lo­
cated on the land the same claim :
were selected by the Weyerhaeuser
Timber Company with Northern Pa­
cific scrip. The settlers made re­
peated efforts to have the land sur­
veyed, but this service was not per­
formed until 1904 and has never
been approved.
Wonderly and his associates In­
stituted contest proceedings against
the railroad company and the Wey-
erhaeuser Interests. The P oi^.nd
Land Office officials decided In favor
of the railroad company, but Won­
derly appealed to the General Land
Office and In the decision of the
Acting Commissioner the ruling of
the local officials has been reversed.
