Portland, Aug. 1. Scathing in his
denunciation of graft In public life,
luercilenn in his arraignment of the mo
tives of tho defendants, nevero In hln
charges against tho attorneys for tlm
defenno, dramatic in his enrnestuenn of
speech ami effort, Francis J. Heney
mndo hln nrgument yestorday in pre
punting the case of tho government in
the WlllinuiKoii-Ucsiicr-iliggN trial to
tlm Jury.
Those high in public life who used
their olllcen for private gnin and for the
practice of Illegal husWicm were held
up before the jury an men worse than
thlcvi and robbers.
"It ban Ixeii intimated by the do
fonpo in thin enne," raid Mr. Henry,
"that I have told tlm witmwpes when
umy caum neiore uio grana jury us
witnesses that I was notaftor,tho little
IIhIi, hut nfter the big onoa. It ban
bein insinuated that hack of my move
ments lurked a political motive, hut I
need only to bring thla to mind for you
to know how falno It Is. Though tho
defenno has never been able to get a
witnena to nay that I told him I was
after the big llnh, I will nay it myself.
I am after the big fish, anil an long as
there Is a book and it line or a bit of
tackle In the government box I will
keep 'after them. Graft is ruining
Kunnla today; graft ruined Home, tho
aucieutempiroofthewoi.il, and, mi
les n the jurirn of tho nation sustain the
laws of tlm United States, graft will
iiiln tills country."
Turning to the defendanta and their
motives, the attorney held that when a
guilty man attempts to prove defense
for himself lie always hews as close to
the truth ns ionnihlo. "Hut crime
leaven its ncur upon the conscience nnd
tlm mind," said Mr. Heney, "until if
wu open wide enough the .window s of
tho coul wo can see tho mnrkings left.
It In this consciousness of scar that has
led the defendants in this case to plan
tho defence they have. I am after the
big llsh I do not want the ixKtr devils
who have been seduced through the In
fluence o' power nud wealth. I want
(ho big fish. Ono millionaire in the
jieriitentlary Is worth ono thousand of
tlm oor devils ho bought, aa an exam
pie to tlm world."
WAfl PARTY QAINO RECRUITS

St. I'otorsburg, July ,11. Tho Inti
mation of Mr. Sato, Ilaron Komura's
secretary, that Japan will claim full
indemnification for tho cont of tho wnr
beside tho Island of Sakhalin, has
gained recruit for tlm war party from
among the cIiism which had hoped Hub
mIii would bo able to offer tho railroads
to I'ort Arthur nnd Dalny, tho Island
of Sakhalin, and other valuable consid
erations in lieu of a direct cash Indem
nity. The war oillco Is not slackening pre
parations for continuing tho war in
case the peace negotiations nro unsuc
cessful. The gap in general Llnlo
vltoli'M army caused by the lossca at
Mukden has been filled and tho railroad
Is working to Its full capacity, carrying
reinforcements to form fresh corps.
A dlspntch from Irkutsk announced
the completion of work on tho trans
llalkal line. In order to roliovo tho
tralllc on tho railroad, Trinco Hllkoff,
minister of railroad communications.,
lion sent three steamers loaded with
rails and n flotilla of river steamers hy
way ol tho Arctic ocean to tho mouth
of the Yenisei river, wbe.ico they will
bo transported by that river to Kras

ministers abroad, asking them to state
fully their views as to what attitude

to demand from Itussia, will Include
not only the reduction in public reve

try, no afcwjmes that Japan will keep
her word and hand over Manchuria to
Chinn, but thinks it will bo imposslblo
for China to install tho old form of

"China will not longer nlav tho role
of n moro spectator, but will assert her
claims with energy In tho Portsmuth

It 1 n common practice among corn

son or where weeds and vines grovr
rapidly and In untold numbers, laying
com hy I entirely out of tho question.
To lay com by too often mean to let
tho weed alone, or It may mean to
let the surface crust cake, crack open
and through tho maturing season al
low tho much needed moisture to lenvo
through surfaco evaporation. If pos
sible get tho cornfield free of weed

be a shortago of cither plant food or

Much more space Is necessary prop

the necessary combinations of food to
make a properly balanced ration, than
tho average paper can give to tho sub

at Washington has Issued some- very
good bulletins and some very poor
ones. Decidedly ono of the best Is
farmers' bullotln No. 22, which covers
tho subject of feeding farm animals
quite exhaustively. It not only gives
tables of balanced rations, but tho
analyses of different combinations nnd
their digestibility. Write to tho Sec

save you money If you will follow Its
