ACCUSED SENATOR MUCH DIS
TURBED AT TESTIMONY.
Harry Robertson Tells of Expediting
of Krlbs Claim Attorneys for De
fense Unable to Shake His Testi
mony Government Closes Its Case.
Portland, Ore., Juno 27. Usury Rob
ot tson, United Slates Senator .lohn
It. Mitchell's former private set re
tary, was the principal witness for tho
prosecution In the trial ol' Senator
Mitchell. Robertson told fully, with
out reservation, ol his connection
with Mitchell at Washington, of the,
hitters fear of prosecution lor ins
work befoie the departments and of,
Mitchell's i age when Robeitson e-(
piessed to his employer the belief thnt
denial was useless, as several knew ,
of the connection of the firm of Mitch
ell & Taunnr vith Uu worV of get-'
ting tho Krlbs claims expedited and
the likelihood that the whole story
would come out.
Upon being subpoenned to appear
before the grand jury, the witness
Bold he went to Senator Mitchell and
showed him tho summons, asking the
senator what he could bo wanted in
Portland for. The senator said it was
to testify about the accounts of the
law firm of Mitchell & Tnnnor, and
told him that Tanner nnd his son were
thieatened with indictment. Mitchell
told Robertson that when he reached
Portland he should go to Tanner and
look at the partnership agreement
and Tanner would tell him how to
testify. The senator had cursed tho
prosecution and had said anything
was Justifiable, in defying the govern
ment. On Robertson's return to Wash
ington, after appearing before the
grand Jury, Senntor Mitchell, tho wit
ness Bald, shook his fist in Robert
son's face and swore at him for his
actions In Portland, and Robertson
thereupon resigned his position. In
continuing, the witness said Mitchell
finally acknowledged that he had
known Krlbs and remembered the
partnership agreement with Its damag
ing clause. He cried and swore and
said that he ought not to be prose
cuted for the matter, as he had only
received a few small checks for what
he had done.
Tho evidence given by Robertson
was direct. He Identified letters given
by Mitchell at Washington to he de
livered to Tnnnor, but which were
given to Prosecuting Attorney Honey
and tho grand Jury, keeping nothing
bnck, but telling to the best of his
recollection the plans made by Mitch
ell and Tanner to evntle prosecution
and how these schemes came to
naught. Tho former bookkeeper of
the firm of Mitchell &. Tanner and
later secretary of the senator sup
ported strongly with his testimony tho
allegations of the Indictment upon
which Mitchell Is being tried.
During tho recital of Robertson's
testimony, Senator Mitchell showed
every evidence of mental agony. Ho
writhed in his chair and protested
with his attorneys for allowing the In
troduction of tho evidence.
Robertson underwent a severe cross
examination, but tho dofense could not
fihafce his testimony. The government
then closed Its case.
The defense then opened Its case,
calling six witnesses, all of whom
testified to having received assistance
from the defendant before the varinup
departments, In each case or which
the Benator had refused compensation.
It Is tho opinion that Senator Mlt-holl
will tako tho stand In his own bohair.

PflOPT ACTION ON EXCLUSION.
President Changes Methods of Ad
ministerinn the Law.
Washington, June 20. Ry direction
of President Roosevelt action has
been taken by tho administration
which not only will facilitate the hmd-
ing in this country of Chinese of the ex- (
empt classes, but will eliminate ftom
the immigration bureau such admlnls-
trntlve tontines as have been the sub-,
ject of criticism by Chinese. It is tho
declared intention of the president to
sco that Chinese merchants, travelers,
students and others of the exempt
classes shall have the same courtesy
shown them by otllcers of the Immlgra
Hon bureau as Is nccorded to citizens
of tho most favored nations. Repre
sentations have been made to tho
president thnt In view of alleged harsh
treatment accorded to many Chinese
seeking a landing In the United
States, tho commercial guilds of China
have determined to institute a boycott
on American manufactures. The rep
resentations, buckcti by the authority
of the American Asiatic society and
commercial bodies throughout the
country, Induced the president to
make an Investigation of tho situation,
with a view to remedying the evils
complained of, If they were found to
exist. Tho subject was discussed
thoroughly by the cabinet and tho
president took It up personally with
Secretary Metcalf of the department
of commerce nnd labor, who has su
pervision of the immigration bureau.
Ab a result of the Inquiry, orders
have been issued to the diplomatic
nnd consular representatives of the
United States In China by the presi
dent himself that they must look close
ly to the performance of their duties
under the exclusion law and see to It
that members of the exempt classes
coming to this country are provided
with proper certificates. These cer
tificates will be accepted at any port
of tho United States and will guar
antee tho bearer against any harsh or
discourteous treatment. Such treat
ment, Indeed, will be the cause of
the Instant dismissal of the offending
official whoever he may be.
In ndditlon to the president's orders,
Secretary Metcalf has Issued Instruc
tions to the Immigration otllcers which
It Is believed will remedy the diffi
culty heretofore complained of by the
Chinese government and Individuals.
It Is anticipated thnt the prompt ac-.
tion taken by this government to
meet the objections made by tho Chi
nese will ellmlnnte tho possibility of .
serious trndo troubles between China
nnd tho manufacturers of this couutry. I
