Have Been Suspended.
Washington, Jan. 11. By direction
of the president, Secretary Hitchcock
Iiiih suspended Register J. T. Bridges
and Receiver J. II. Booth, of the Rose
burg land office, at the telegraphic re
quest of Mr. Heney. lleney reported
that Booth and Bridges by continuing
in office, were able to "thwart the ends
of justice."
He said an investigation of that office
showed iU affairs were in bad shape,
and said that further investigation
should bo had; The suspension of
Bridges and Booth virtually closes the
Roseburg land office, except for the fil
ing of papers.
This morning Secretary Hitchcock
took up the Koseburg case with the
president, and it is by the president's
order that radical action was taken, as
recommended by Heney. It is Heney
who will direct further investigation at
Roseburg.
Confident of Success.
Iluanchan, Jan. 11., via Mukden.
The newa of the fall of Port Arhtur
was received here first unofficially from
the Japanese, who let loose numerous
paper kites bearing letters and trium
phal inscriptions. These kites were
picked up by Russian Boldiers along be
for the telegraph gave them the news.
The army received the announcement
doggedly, regret being expressed that
the troops had been unable to relieve
the garrison, but confidence ia felt that
ultimately the Russians will be able to
push back the Japanese.
Work Delayed by Storms.
Tokio, Jan. 11. The work of remov
ing the mines and other obstructions at
the entrance to the harbor of Port
Arthur and of examining the Russian
war vessels is hampered by the storms
and cold weather. There is every in
dication that some of the ships are
salvable.

Bountiful Indemnity for Murder of an
American Missionary.
Washington, Jan. 11. Information
has reached the State department that,
complying with the Insistent demands
of the United States, the Persian gov
ernment has made to the widow partial
reparation for the murder of the Rev.
Benjamin W. Labarree, an American
missionary, by a gang of fanatic, and
has promised that all the guilty per
sons involved in the crime will be pun
ished. The following statement re
garding the case was made by an offi
cial of the State department:
"March 15th last the Department of
State received the telegraph intelli
gence of the murder of Kev. B. W. La
barree, an American missionary, near
Ouroma, in Persia, by a gang of fanatic
Kurds.
"A demand waa immediately made
for the arrest and trial of the murder
era, whose leader, Seyd Mir Ghafar,
waa looked upon as a lineal descendent
of the prophet. This circumstance
and the fear of arousing religious dis
turbances evidently interfered with the
prompt and efficient action on the part
of the local authorities. The most
pressing and earnest representations of
the American legation at Teheran re
mained fruitless until October 12, when
Mr. Kay instructed its minister by
cable to make known to the govern
ment of the shah the president's con
cern in the adequate punishment of all
the criminals and his intention to lay
the matter before congress with appro
priate recommendations, with his de
mands for full justice, were further de
layed. "The murders were thereupon ar
,rested, but the Persian government,
holding the life of a descendant of the
prophet sacred, offered a pecuniary in
demnity in lien of the d-th penalty
for Seyd Mir Ghafar, and promised ex
ecution of the accomplices. After con
sultation with the widow of Kev. Mr.
labarree, the offer waa accepted and an
indemnity of $30,000 greatly in excess
of the sum named by the widow was
paid to the American legation June 3.
Solemn assurance waa given .that the
guilty would receive effective and swift
punishment and that no special tax
would be leived on Christians in the
province to recover the amount of the
indemnity."
MAY BE ABANDONED.
New Mexico and Arizona Likely to bs
Left Out of Statehood Bill.
Washington, Jan. 11. The joint
statehood bill will continue to be the
principal topic of discussion in the sen
ate during the present week, but other
measures will receive attention each
day during the morning hour, includ
ing the omnibus bill, for which Senator
Warren stands sponsor. The bill com
prises more than 200 pages, but the
senator already has succeeded in hav
ing it read by utilising odd hours, and
this has put a large and important part
of the work of consideration to the
rear.
An effort will be made to get through
the bill providing for the compensation
of American fishermen whose vessels
were seised previous to the arbitration
of 1893. This measure is in the hands
of Senator Fulton, who will press it as
an act of justice to men who have been
discriminated against.
The pure food bill will remain in
the background for the present, not be
cause the friends of that measure have
abandoned it, but because they consider
that its chances will be improved by
not pressing for immediate considera
tion. They have been assured by the
Republican leaders that the bill shall
have first place on the calendar aside
from appropriation bills, after the
statehood bill is disposed of and there
fore they will not antagonise the state
hood bill for the present if at all.
The only real fight is against the
uniting of Arizona and New Mexico,
and there is talk of eliminating these
territories entirely from the statehood
proposal. It is believed if thia were
done the bill for the consolidation of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory would
pass. Thus far there has been no con
ference of opposing factions on the sub
ject and probably little will be done to
change the present status eo long as
the leaders are anxious to keep other
matters in the background, as appears
to be the case at present.
Krupp Gun Works Visited.
Berlin, Jan. 11. Extensive experi
ments are being made with new guns
and projectiles at Messrs. Krupp's
range at Meppen, on behalf of a com
mission of Japanese officers. Should
the trials prove satisfactory, large or
ders will be given by the Japanese gov
ernment. A deputation of Russian
officers has arrived at Essen for a sim
ilar purpose. It is reported from Zu
rich that the Japanese government has
ordered large amounts of chocolate from
various Swiss manufacturers. Several
firms have had to decline the orders.
Fire Burned for Five Hours.
Philadelphia, Jan. 11. A fire which
burned for five hours occurred tonight
at the plant tf the Atlantic refining
company in the southwestern section
of the city. The loss, it iB estimated,
will reach $200,000.

company has been formed to connect
Silverton with the adjoining towns.
P. L. Brown is the company's local

MORE CONTROL OVER ROADS
Purpose of Law Proposed by Vari
County Courts of State.
Oregon City "The Clackamas coun
ty court, through the legislative dele
gation from this county, will seek to
have enacted at the present session of
the legislature laws that will prove of
material aid to the various county
courts of the state in the building and
repairing ol nmua, leuwiu ivuuiy
Judge Ryan.
"I have great faith in the eminent
domain theory which is being indorsed
by the different counties of the state,"
continued the Clackamas county judge.
"The enacting of such a law will give
to the county court of each county the
right to condemn property for the es
tablishment of a new road, or the ap
propriation of additional property for
the improvement of roads already es
tablished, the rights conferred being
identical to those already enjoyed by
railroad corporations." It is also the
purpose of the Clackamas county court
to have passed a law regulating the use
to which all roads shall be placed in
the matter of heavr f traffic, and still
another measure that will place some
restrictions as to the use of automobiles
on the public highways.
Douglas Men Demand Good Roads.
Roseburg A delegation of represen
tativ men from a majority of the road
districts in Douglas county called upon
the county court in a body and present
ed their petition and resolutions asking
that the court take the necessary steps
to provide this county with three sets
of modern roadbuilding machinery, in
cluding that number of rock crushers,
rollers, engines, etc. Enthusiastic
good roads arguments were presented
and the matter was then taken under
advisement by the court. It is believ
ed, however, that the court will act.
favorably upon the matter and that a.
large amount of good road building wilt
be done in this county this year.
Gets Lower Rates.
Dallas A promise from the board of
underwriters at San Francisco that it
will immediately make a new rating
for Dallas patrons, and allow rebates
on the old premiums dating from the
acceptance of the new city water works
last June, has caused the Dallas coun
cil to suspend for two weeks its purpose
of charging all insurance companies
doing business here a license fee. The
license ordinance resulted from a fail
ure of the companies to make a reduc
tion in rates promised when the new
water works should be completed.
To Freeze Rogue River Fish.
Astoria The schooner Chetco has
gone to Rogue river fitted with a cold
storage plant of a capacity of 225 tons,
