Building, Corner Sixteenth SO NEW TRIAL FOR MITCHELL Court Bales Agaimt Oregon Senator on Everj Point Eaisei FIXING SENTENCE IS AGAIN POSTPONED Judge DeHaven Allow Attorney Week to Prepare a Bill of F.l centlon and Writ of Error, PORTLAND. Ore., July 15.-Th motion for a new trial of the case of United States Senator John H. Mitchell was over ruled by Judge DeHaven In the United States court this afternoon and the at torneys for the defense asked for a week In which to file a bill of exceptions and a writ of error. Senator Mitchell was not present In court. Judge DeHaven an nounced that he had been too busy to prepare a written reply to the motion and gave a verbal decision. The motion for arrest of judgment was th first point takJb up. Judge DeHaven announced that h?''hiid carefully consid ered the opinion of the lata Judge Bel linger, .jand while he . believed that the court had jurisdiction to set aside the opinion In relation to tne pre a for abate ment he did not feel Justified in taking such action and therefore overruled the motion to arrest Judgment. Jue De Haven held that he. did not consider him self In error In giving his Instructions to th jury nor In the admission of legal testimony. In regard to the sixth count In the In dictment concerning which It was con ceded by the government that no evidence had been submitted to Justify th Jury In returning a verdict of guilty, the court referred to a precedent which sustained the Jury. As to the claim of the -defense that District Attorney Honey s explanation that an Indictment could have been re turned for subornation of perjury had prejudiced Mitchell'a case with the jury, 'Judge DeHaven held that his instructions to the Jury to take no cognizance of th tatement had been sufficient. Motions for a new trial were overruled on every point. Apparently Judge DeHaven was on th point of pronouncing sentence on the de fendant when ex-Senator Thurston, for th defense, requested time; in which to pre pare a bill of exceptions and writ of error. This, h assured the court, he would have ready for submission to the district at torury early next week. Marlon Blags on ft tend.

GRAIN SHIPPERS TESTIFY Interstate' Commerce Commission Hears Evidence Aboat Manipula tion of Expense Bills. LOUISVILLE-. Ky.. July 15.-A large array of ' witnesses, chiefly grain shippers snd managers of traffic departments of railways, was on hand when the' second day's session of the Interstate commerce hearing began. , Frank N. Hartwell, a member of a firm controlling large elevator, made a state ment of shipping conditions In Louisville, saying that th large shipments of grain were handled promptly and that it was unfair to single out Louisville and pro reed against the city on the strength of practices that obtain just as commonly in St. Louis and other gateways. Mr. Hartwell favored the divorcing of the expense bills from the equalisation of rates. At the afternoon session C. W. Bullitt of the Henderson Elevator company of Henderson, Ky., said that it is a common practice among local shippers to buy ex pense bills In order to secure the advantage of the $ cents shrinkage allowance. George 8. Powell, a grain dealer of St. Louis, said lie had found It hard to do business In the southeastern territory against the Louisville dealers.' "Don't you often buy grain out of the elevator in 8t Louis and insist on an ex pens bill going with It?" asked Colonel Stone of the Louisville A Nashville. "Yes, sir, regular customers are allowed this privilege," replied Mr. Powell. "It does not matter in whose nam the expense bill Is mad out, does it?" "I think not." "And It makes no difference for whose grain that expens bill was Issued?" "No sir." TWENTY-THREJEDIE FROM HEAT List of Victims at New York Largest of th Week Temperature lightly Lower.

Petersburg newspaper Soy Pres. ervatlon of "Balance of Power Sheald Be Btron Weapon la Plenipotentiaries' Heads. ST. PETERSBURG, July 15. M. Witt had another audience with Em peror Nicholas today. Investigation in re liable quarters enables the Associated Press to positively announce that the reports current here last night that M. Wltte might not go to Washington wer Incorrect. M. Witte'a Instructions, It can also be stated authoritatively, name him as first plenipo tentiary and clothe him with plenary pow ers. The Instructions ar couched in gen eral terms. Attitude of Hossla Defined. The Bviet, which sometimes Interprets th views of the military party. Indignantly re ject the interpretation put on M. Witte'a appointment abroad, namely, that it Is equivalent to th acceptance of any peace terms Japan may choose to offer except leveling the fortifications Of Vladivostok. The paper calls attention to Emperor Nicholas' marginal notes on varloua ad dresses expressing his determination to con tinue the war, and especially refers to his telegram to Lieutenant General Llnevltch, June 14, which the commander-in-chief read to the army and which has Just been pub lished here, in which the emperor pledged himself to do everything possible to lighten the heavy task of the army and expressed confluence that all obstacles would finally be overcome and that the war would end happlli for the Russian army, as proof that the emperor has no intention to make peace at any price. As further evidence th Svlet draws attention to th unusual note attached to the official announcement of M. Wltte's appointment. Being Intimately acquainted with the situation, M. Wltte un doubtedly will be equal to the high and im portant mission with which the emperor has graciously charged him and know hour to protect the Interests of Russia. The Slovo thinks that the desire of the powers, especially of Great Britain, in view of Emperor William's attitude toward France to see Russia rehabilitated In order to preserve the balance of power In Europe should become a strong diplomatic weapon In the hands of th Russian plenipoten tiaries for the restoration practically of the status quo ante-bellum. The Bourse Qaaette says that Inasmuch as Japan appreciates M. Wltte's desire for peace the ground at the outset Is cleared bt distrust and suspicion. At the samo time th paper adds, Japan will find that while M. Wltte will be reasonable he wilt mak no disgraceful or humiliating con cessions. The Bourse Gasette considers It likely that th negotiations will result not only In peace but in a close and lasting rapproachmfnt. China's Possible Role, China's possible role in the Russo-Japanese negotiations Is attracting more atten tion. China's notification that It would de cline, unless assent was previously given to it to send a representative to the peace conference, to consider the Washington treaty binding If lu provisions affecting Chinese territory were regarded as preju dicial, was sent to all the powers In the form of a circular note. Russia, according to the Foreign office, sent no reply to Peking, but It may be stated that some pa pers which have occasionally Inspiration, like Prince Outktomskyin Vledomostl, look with complaisance If hot satisfaction upon the prospect that China may try to havu a voice In the terms of peace. Their argu ment Is that any action on China's part will necessarily be in the direction of re stricting Japan's war spirit and that tho other powers, possibly the United States, In support of the principles of the Chlrse territorial integrity, will be compelled to a greater or less extent to support the Chi nese claims. The Shanghai correspondent of a Russian news agency reports that China has al ready selected Wu Ting Fang, former min ister to Washington, to go to the United States to watch the proceedings.

An army officer who has returned from Manchuria says that the expectation that General Llnevltch would assume the aggressive Is diminish ing. The Russians who formerly conducted the most active reconnaissance. General Llnevltch, with his staff personally, going to the advanced line In an endeavor to draw out th Japanese and discover their positions of strength, have ceased, and it is believed that General Llnevltch's tactlca are now to be nonaggrasslve and entirely on th defensive. Reports of th existence of epidemics and contagious disease among the Russians con tinue to reach the Japanese army. Th Jljl, discussing today th substitu tion of M. Witt for Ambassador Mura vleff, says that the recall of th latter re calls his speech at The Hague. The Jljl says: "Tho higher standing and larger caliber of M. Witt of his advocacy of peace Im proves the situation." Later details from Karksavorvsk say that the fire, which continued to burn until July 10, practically destroyed tho town. M. Pokotlloff Starts.
