THE LAND FRAUDS
Men In High Places Said to Be In
volved
WASHINGTON The Post says
Senator Mitchell and Representative
Binger Ilarmann of Oregon left Wash
ington last night for Portland to ap
pear before the federal grand jury and
face charges which they have been
advised implicated them in Oregon
land frauds
Both Senator Mitchell and Mr Har
mann declare in most positive terms
that thej are absolutely innocent and
have nothing to fear from returning
to Oregon Both assert with equal
positlveness that the time has come
when this outrageom persecution
must stop They will insist upon their
right to go before the grand jury and
make answer to all charges that may
be made against them confident that
they will be able to establish their
innocence They expect to have a
hearing on Saturday
When asked last night why he had
decided to return to Portland at this
time after declining to go as a wit
ness when summoned by subpoenas a
week ago Senator Mitchell said
I was advised yesterday by tele
grams from Portland that it was re
ported there that Puter Watson and
others of the gang had made confes
sions implicating me and that there
would be an effort made to indict me
and Hermann before the jury which
meets tomorrow A week ago when
I was called as a witness I had no
intimation that it was claimed that I
was implicated in any way and I did
not feel it my duty to go and sacrifice
public business but the moment I was
advised that I was beinsj attacked
personally I concluded I was justified
in sacrificing public business and
everything elre to go and defend my
character against assaults that I know
to be without any foundation what
ever
Senator Mitchell sent this telegram
yesterday to District Attorney Hall
and Assistant Attorney General
Haney
I will be in Portland next Satur
day I demand thorough investigation
before grand jury of all charges if
any against me I also demand right
to appear as witness before grand
jury
Representative Hermann before
leaving made this statement
Information having been received
that there was a nrobabilitv that an
attempt would be made to involve
Senator Mitchell and myself in the
grand jury investigation as to land
frauds in Oregon I believe it to be
my duty to proceed to Portland and
there ask the privilege of meeting any
charges which may be preferred
Botn Senator Mitchell and Mr Her
mann say continues the Post that i e
movement against them has been di
reced by Secretary Hitchcock and at
tribute it to his personal hostility to
ward tiem

ST PETERSBURG Considerable
surprise is manifested at the foreign

abandon the Russian American arbi
tration treaty because of the char
acter of the modifications proposed by
Russia Emperor Nicholas is sincerely
anxious to conclude a treaty with the

the modifications proposed are direct

fines arbitration to the interpretation

Russia has already negotiated similar
treaties with Belgium and Sweden
