Portland, Juno 27. -Harry C. Rob ertson, former private secretary to Hunator Mitchell, has told bin story. Tho scene In thu United fitntea court room yesterday morning when Robert sou took tho stand wan dramatic. Not a word told by tho witness missed tho ears of tho defendant and tho auditors present. Judgo Tanner's testimony was a blow to fienator Mitchell. Tho testimony of Robertson wan oven hoar lur, for In many details It corroborates what Judgo Tanner has already told tlio Jury. Tliu witness declared with out reservation that ho bad been asked to commit perjury so that fienator Mitchell and Judgu Tanner might ovadu tlm necessity of appearing In court. Ho told of tho stormy Interview with thu defendant when tho latter found that hu would not bo a tool and of his own fear of meeting Judgo Tanner on bin return to Portland from Washing ton becausu he thought that bo would bo too weak to resist Judge Tanner's attempts to got him to commit perjury. Tho witness stated that ho delayed bis visit to tho senator's law partnor for this reason It was this delay that re sulted in placing in tho hands of tho government that particularly damaging "burn this letter" document ol Hena tor Mitchell, n letter which was given to Itobertaon by Max Pracht to deliver to Tanner.

Llnlevltch Appears to Regret tl.at End of War Is Near. Gunsliu Pans, Juno 27. -Many dis patches reaching hero through tho ofli cial paKr, which is edited for the army, make tho conditions under which tho proposed peace Is to bo reached very indifferently understood. In consequence of events at Washing ton a military Initiative for an armis tice has been expected, but although Generals I.iniovitch and Kuropatkin uxiiress tho conviction that Ruesln is drifting toward peace, no action look ing to an armistice has yet been tnken. On tho contrary thu coinmnndoni ap pear to regret that at tho time when tlio army ban reached ita maximum strength It is likoly to bo deprived of victory. Big Gun is Too bxpenilve. Now York, Juno 27.

Portland, Juno 25, (Senator Mitchell had his day In thu trial beforo Judgo Do Haven yesterday. Tho cross-examination of oX'Judgu A. H. Tanner, who was turned over to tho defense Into Friday afternoon, was taken In hand by Judgu Itennett. During thu ? hours be was bombarded by questions from tho attorney several Admissions favorable to tho senator wcro brought to thu attention of thu Jury, causing a gleam of satisfaction in tho aged sen r tor's eyes. Thero wcro those present who had anticipated a rough journey for ox-Judgu Tanner, but they wore doomed to disappointment, Judgu Hurnutt handled tho former business partner of bin client with a velvety tongue, and only once or twico was cauitlc with tho witness. When ex Judgu Tanner finished his redirect ex amination ex-Senator Thurston moved to havo his testimony stricken out. This wai denied. Kx-Judgo Tanner passed through tho ordeal bettor than his friends antici pated. Hu was little short of a perfect witness, apparently holding nothing back. His testimony favorable to thu defendant was given in tl e same dis tinct and 0flitlve manner as that given by him under direct examination. (Several times Judgo Hennctt sought to lead tho witness, and onco or twico tho attorney for tho dofenno mado his own ingenious Interpretation of somo of tlm answers given under the questioning of Mr. Hcnoy. hach timo ex-Judgo Tan ner corrected his interrogator, and, once or twice, when Judge Dennett be came ovcrpcrslstcnt, tho witness be- camo curt in his denials of having an awcreil questions In the manner put to him by the attorney for the defense. Mr. Hcney announced that hu would rest bis case on Monday. Kx-Senator Thurston stated after tho court was ad journed that he exjected that the de fense would Imj through by Tuesday evening. Whllo nothing has been said by counsel for tho defense, it is almost assured that Senator Mitchell will take tho witness stand in bis own behalf. FRANCE HAS WAR FEVER. Despite Minister's Denials, People Ex pect to Fight Germany. Paris, June 20. For the first time since tho Fashoda incident the French public is in the throes of tho war fever. Whether it will result in anything seri ous defends on Germany's response to tho French note on Morocco, but with out considering tho exact status of thu diplomatic negotiations a considerable element of tho public and press seri ously dircues the possibilities of a re sort to arms. Army circles are partic ularly active, and nt the military clubs tho ofllceis nru mainly engaged in mak ing comparisons of tho forces of France and Germany. While the financial leaders scout tho idea of war, tho spec ulative clement has been quick to seize tho opportunity to raid French rentes, which showed a fall of 1 franc and 8 centimes within a week. Tho otllcial view Is that tho situation, while deli cate, does not present any aspect of danger or a crisis involving a rupture of relations. This is tho government view, and naturally presents tho most favorable aspect of the controversy. However, tho ambassadors of tho lead ing powers express impartial opinions fitly sustaining tho view of tho govern ment. It is pointed out in diplomatic quar ters that the worst aspect of the Mo roccan question docs not present a casus belli. An nnalysis of tho contro versy shows that tho sultan of Morocco invited tho powers to a conference. Germany urges tho powers, including Franco, to accept. Premier Rouvier's latest noto shows tho willingness of Franco to consider a conference, if Ger many explains her purposes, but, even should France dcclino to accept these, refusal of thu invitation does not con stituto a cntiHco for war. Bubonic Plague on Isthmus. Panama, Junu 20. A fatal enso of bubonic plague occurred at La Boca yesterday. Tho constant arrival of steamers from In feet iV. South American ports, which aro received at La Boca without any extra precautions being taken, must be n source of contagion. Tho man had been working on board tho Hrltish steamer Chile, which the authorities of Guayaquil would not al low to cntor that iort. Tho compan ions of tho deceased laborer havo been isolated. Rats tnken from tbo steamer Chili ore being examined. Iowa Farmers May Lose Land, Sioux City, la., June 20. Proceed ings which may throw open to settle ment $1,000,000 worth of Iowa's rich est land bavo been started in O'Brien county by tho government.

', '-'IHilllBUHiW The Russian Peasant's Vision Conquest e Great American Desert No achievement of bis administra tion stves President Roosevelt more thorough satisfaction thsn what Is termed "Tbo Reclamation Law." He esteems It one of the wisest and most beneficial pieces of legislation of recent years nud Is confident that It will pro mote the public welfare quite as much as the Morrill act, which dedicated a great part of the public lands to the education of Uie people, or the Home stead Law, which did more tbnn any other measure to build up the great West. The Reclamation Law la In tended, without expeiKu to the tax pay ers, to make the arid regions of the West capable of cultivation. It npplles thu proceeds from the sale of public lauds to the construction of Irrigation systems niul reservoirs to supply them; which are to be sold at cost price on ten years time to the people who en Joy the beneflts created by them. Tho money thus refunded Is to bo used ngnln and again and still again. In ex tending the Irrigation system, until ev ery acre of the arid regions Is watered and fit for humau habitation. Tlio reclamation fund lias grown very rapidly; much more rapidly than any advocate of the law expected. Dur ing the first year about four million dollars was turned Into the treasury. On tho 30th of June, 11XM, It amounted to $11,270,280.87 nud by the end of the current fiscal year It will reach. If It does not exceed, fifteen millions. Surveys have been completed for thirteen great Irrigation projects In as many different States, contemplating the reclamation of 1,131.000 acres of desert land nt a cost of $31,393,000, or nn average of $27.20 per acre. The land thus Improved will bo sold to the public at that price In ten aunual In stallments mid thus the entire amount of money expended will be refunded to tho government. Tho President Is also greatly grati fied nt the rapid progress that Is being made by tho Irrigation bureau. Six of tbo projects In tho nbove lint have been begun; contracts have been let, nnd thousands of Inhorers aro already em ployed In Arizona, Colorado. Idaho, Nebraska, Nevada and New Mexico. The other propositions will be under taken as rapidly ns possible. In Nevada work commenced as ear ly ns September, 1003, In building n dnm lu Truckee River to take tho Hood waters from tho mountains and tho overflow of Luke Taboo nnd dump them Into Caraou Hlver. Another dam wilt bo built In Carson River to store these waters until they are needed In the dry season, when they will be dis tributed by means of canals and ditch es over an aren of about 100,000 acres, mostly desert laud belonging to tho government. Tho cost of tills Improve ment will be $2,000,000, or $20 nn acre, and the land Improved Is now subject to homestead entry In tracts of forty, eighty, 120 or 1C0 acres, according to tts situation. Tho law allows enough land to each settler to support a family. No cash payments are required; no commuta tions, but tho settler must actually live on It nnd cultlvnto It for Ave years nnd pay $2.00 nn ncro each year for ten years, when ho will receive a tltfo to the laud and own tho water rights without additional payments. Prlvnto land which receives tho benefit of tho water must pay at tho snme rate $2,00 per ncro for ten years. After ten paymonts tho owner of tlio lnnd will havo tho water rights freo of cost for all otornlty. Tho lnnd Is good for nl fnlfn, sugar beets, potatoes and nil tho root crop nnd fruits of the temporato tono. It la only twelvo hours from San Francisco by rail, fifty miles from of the future. Cincinnati Past. the capital of Nevada, and Is sur rounded by mining settlements In ev ery direction. Part of the land reclaimed will bo Uie old Forty-Mllo Desert, or Carson' Sink, which was a horror of early eral grantii the worst spot on tho over land trail; and was lined the entire dis tance with the bones of men and ani mals. Thousand of poor creatures died there from thirst and exhaustion. Farmers who plow there now turn up in almost every furrow gun barrels which were driven Into the earth to mark graves nnd have since been burled deep lu the drifting sands. As nn Illustration of the perversity of nature, the engineers who hare been laying out the proposed Irrigation sys tem have found an abundance of cold, puro water n few feet below the sur faco wherever they have made bor ings. All of tbtx desert will be re deemed and when the present proposi tion Is finished the works will lie ex tended to the Humboldt and Walker Rivers, which will bring several hun dred thousand acres more under Irri gation and make a paradise of what Is now the most desolate spot In Nevada. These rivers carry plenty of water from tho mountains, but It disappears as soon as It reaches the sand. The engineers propose to catch It beforo It reaches the "sinks" and store It In reservoirs, to be tapped when needed. William E. Curtis. HIS BREAD RETURNED. Small Lon Made Tears Aro Brine Hack a Lame Fortun. The Biblical parablo of casting your bread upon the waters has turned out dramatically true In the case of Per- clral F. Nagle, of New York. For many years Mr. Nagle has been ono of tho plcturesquo figures In tho me tropolis. Physical ly ho Is one of tho largest men in tho city and his gener osity, In the days when ho could nf- i'i:ntivAL v maolk ford to bo gener ous, was unbounded. At oue time lio was champion oarsman of New York and then he drifted Into the poolroom business. Under Mayor Van Wyck ho served as street cleaning commission er. Since leaving this position he haa gono down financially nnd up to n few days ago did not know tlmt be wna worth mora than n few thousnnd dol lars nt tho most. But unknown to himself he was wealthy. In the old days of his prosperity ho once loaned a friend $1,000. Tho friend wanted to give htm security, but Naglo refused. Nevertheless tho friend had secretly transferred somo unimproved property In the annexed district and tt slnco lay In Nagle's name, without tho tatter's knowledge. A short time ago two meu called upon Nagle and asked him to put a prtco upon his property in tho Bronx. Nagln denied he owued property there, but at onco made an Investigation, Ho was surprised to And that he was tho own er of 44 lots, valued nt between $200, 000 and $250,000 the same his friend had placed to bis credit for tho $1,000 loan. It was n case of putting a crumb on tho waters and getting back a whole loaf. Speaking from Experience. "Who Is tho chap over there who ns serta that tho rich aro getting poorer and the poor richer!"
