Salem— The right of Klamath coun ty to tax 100,000 acres of land owned by the California A Oregon Land com pany inside tbe Klamsth Indian reser vation has been sustained in an opinion rendered by Attorney General Craw ford. Tbe land in question was form erly owned by the Oregon Central M il itary Wagon Road company, haying been acquired by that company through a Federal grant to the state of Oregon for aid in building a m ilitary road. The owners of the laifd objected to hav ing it aaaeaaed and taxed, giving as a reason for their position that the land is in the possession of the Indians and thereby of the United States, and is thereby exempt from taxation. In his opinion Attorney General Crawford quotes from two decisions of the United States Supreme court in cases involving title to this land. In each case the government was trying to defeat the company’s title, but in both cases the company won. The Supreme court held that the company’s title ia perfect and beyond challenge. Author ities are also cited to show that private roperty inside an Indian reservation subject bject to the jurisdiction of the state for the g iv in g of process and for taxation.

Thuraton Says It Is Impossible to Convict M itchsll. . Portland, July 1.— Still another day has passed and the last word ia yet to be spoken in behalf of Senator Mitch ell. I t was fully expected that when ex-Senstor Thurston began yesterday morning that he would conclude his argument in the afternoon', but he was yet half an hour away from his con cluding remarks, when Judge De Haven adjourned the court until 10 o ’clockf this morning. This means that the case w ill not go to the jury before late thia evening, if then, for United States District Attorney Heney must answer the arguments made by both of Senator M itchell’ s attorneys. When the speaker laid aside his eu logistic tribute to th e senator, when he had given his audience a glimpse of the living room of Senator , M itchell in Washington, s room which he said con tained a bed and a trnnk; when he told of the love, veneration and honor in which he held jhe defendant and turned the floodgates of bis oratory and legal shrewdness upon the indictment under which 8enator M itchell is being tried, then he became the lawyer and pleader. Listening members of the bench snd bar who listened to this argument mar veled at the adroitness with which thia document wsa attacked. I t was done with such skill and cleverness, for each count waa taken up and riddled and scoffed st— that now the government must make answer. The attack upon the indictment fol lowed the lines of the argument that ex-8enator Thurston had made before Judge De Haven. He stated that the Indictment held that Senator Mitchell had received money from Kribe, and be showed by the testimony of both Kribe and Tanner, that Kribe bad never paid money to tbe defendant. The speaker held that before the government could make this cotint in the indictment stick, it mast prove that 8enator Mitch ell had received his payment either in gold, silver or currency. He cited that the 8upreme court had held that a check was not money, and contended that when Tanner deposited the Kribe checks, those checks were purchased by the bank, was their property to burn or tear up if they wished. The money that the senator received as his share of the monthly receipts of the firm’s business, no matter if that share con tained a part of the Kribe’ payment, could not be construed as having been paid to Senator Mitchell by Kribe.

St. Petersburg, Jnly 1.— The Rnsaisn- government, although it haa been al most paralysed hy the terrible event*, at Odessa and the news that the sailor» at Libau have also mutinied, is making desperate snd even frantic efforts to- stamp out the flames of revolution be fore they can spread to the army, which is now the last bulwark o f the autoc racy. W ith Poland red with the spirit o t revolt, the Caucasus already almost in s state of civil war, agrarian disorder» spreading rapidly, the whole country profoundly stirred snd the intelligent, classes arrayed against the government, all conditions seem ripe for the long- predicted revolution. The first set of the government after dispatching Adm iral Kruger’s squadron from Sebastopol was to summon the Knisz Potemkine, whose mutineers Q have now been joined by the crews of the torpedo boats which 'accompanied it to Odessa, to surrender,- under the threat of firing upon and sinking th e vessel. This waa followed by the dec laration of martial law at Odessa and Libau and the clothing of the military comuianders with plenary powers. The newly formed council for imper ial defense met last night under the presidency of Grand Duke Nicholas, and was in session long after-midnight.. • Beyond the fact that the temper ot the army was ¡considered st length, nothing is known as to what occurred in the council or regarding the decis ions st which it arrived. Great fear is expressed that many regiments are honeycombed With sedi tion, snd there is grave donbt of their loyalty should they be called upon to- fire on the revolutionists. Indeed the most startling stories involving the un reliability of tbe troops are being re peat«! in St. Petersburg, but the truth of many of them is more than ques tionable.
