CONSUL IS TO BE REMOVED Investigation of Complaints Lodged Against Representative at Enstn- ada May Lead to Man's Removal- Americans are, frightened.. SAN DIEdO, Cal., May 29. That George P. Scbmuckcr, American con sul at Enscnnda, Lower California, may be relieved, in a few hours is the expectation of '.some locnl men who have investigating reports of some of Sohnincker's recent orders. Jhe results of these investigations have been sent to Washington by Stato Senator .L. A. Wright, at the request -of Americans in business nt Eusennda. A number of signed state- iiient are included in the evidence. ..Action in the. ease was decided on after Dr. Lawrence S. Chamberlain and J. P. Taylor, both well known here, were arrested in bed nt Esenndit Wednesday night and taken by a file of soldiers to the Qunrtel or prison oft the city. It is alleged that they were held "incommunicado" until j o'clock tho next morning. iuVt that hour some Mexicans, enny ing shovels, arrived and gave every indication that tho time had come foj: the two prisoners to perform the act ofiligging their own graves. Dr. Chamberlain told the reporter that ho was absolutely ccrtai nlhnt hi time to die had come. Close on the heels o ft ho shovel men there came iiynesseuger with orders to bring the prisoners before Governor Celso Vega yliom thej kuew well. The governor toldi them that they were, they my, held at tho instance of the AOmericnn consul. Through the efforts of Gov ernor Vega tho men were released upon their promise not to kill any one 'and to get out of tho country at once. Several other American citizens nr rived here by tho Steamer San Diego and' tho Bernardo Reyes last Thurs day, and decline to return to Ensen ada while Consul Sehmitcker remains iip office. They have bustuehs inter ests there- demanding their presence. Schmuckor's duties in Enfienudn, since tho rebel troubles started, have been especially arduous, and sonio of tho Americans say ho is in need of a rest. nn a telegram, outlining our superior advantages. This locality, above all 'others was a favorite' with Mr. llarriman. "Build them the best depot in the Northwest" he said after a visit here. It was done. . , "Beautiful beyond compare" was his characterization 01 this favored spot. Judge Lovott, .T. C. Stubbs, Julius Kruttschmitt all have spoken high words of praise for Medford and the Rogue River Valley. Their influence would be great with Mrs. Harriinan, as she has great confidence in their ability, capabilities and judgment. Let local boosters get busy. The "can't do it" club will be on tnc jou, out urown them out. Such a university would mean tho expenditure of mil lions for buildings and equipment alone. It Would turn the eyes of the educational world on the Rogue River Valley. So let's get busy. A few' of the things to be sot forth in the telegrams to Mrs. ITarriman and here advisers would call attention to the fact that the Rogue TJiver Valley offers for a univer sity superior ' V,'1 -. Climate Progressive citizenship Geographical situation Metropolitan characteristics Facilities and attractions. Let us get together and get it. , A wisely directed effort cannot fail. Get together and send the telegram before Mrs. llarri man has made a choice. Medford can amply afford to offer her a site consisting of 100, 500 or a 1000 acres. It can be worked out. Let's do it.

After resting nearly fifty years in tho nr chives of the war department, it now seems probable that the ordinance of .secession passed by the btatc of Louisiana, will bo returned to Hint stnte. A resolution introduced by Senutor Fostpr providing for Uh re turn has been favorably reported to the senate, and its passage is ex pected. The suggestion for its return was made by tho war department officials. They saw no reason for its retention among the war department records, though they lucked uuthority to re turn it to Louisiana, Their -suggestion was warmly received in Louisi ana, and for several years efforts have been made to enact legislation for its return. Thus far Senator Heybuni, noted for waving the "bloody shirt" in the senate on simi lar questions, has blocked action upon tho resolution by raising a point pf order. There is reuson .to believe, however, thnt his opposition will be rendered (ineffectual uat this ses sion. The document toi enacted in con vention at Huton Rogue on January 28. ,1801. It remained at tho 'state capitol until the capture of the city by federal troops. At the war de partment there, is now no one who is familiar with the history' of its re ceipt in Washington. During the fed eral occupation of Louisiana, there were many records shipped to Wash ington, and it is presumed thnt the ordinance of secession was among them.

S t SPRINOFIKLD, 111., May 29. if United States Senator Loriiner, as a Washington report predicts, lcsigns before tho, stato legislature- adjourns hero next Wednesday, it means thut tho legislature must select his suc cessor.
