The appointment, which is that of assistant surgeon in the hospital orra, is for life. The salary is $1, l "0 and the position offers fine: pros 1 cts of promotion. Dr. Guthrie stood the examination ten months ago for; U.l3 appointment, and he would not l.ave been -eligible for appointment af- j ter the expiration of a full year.

At that time Mr. Rollins will return to Washington and take up with the president some of the big patronage in the state.

Bene dict Rosinsk, a Catholic priest of St. Stanislaus church, that he had been held prisoner for 24 hours without food and forced to sign two notes for $500 each and two checks for like amounts, which had been since cashed, besides being robbed of, $30 and some jewelery, two men and a woman were arrested today. The woman is said to have lured the priest to her room in Cedar avenue by pretending to be ill and in need of spiritual consolation, and the men are said to have rushed in upon them jmd held Rev. Rosinsk prisoner until hha satisfied their demands. Rev. Rosinsk says that he received two telephone messages Thursday urging him to call upon Pennie Oienski of 389 Cedar avenue. He had been there but a few moments when 4 Julian Tussyuski rushed in, and declaring him self to be the woman's fiance, demand ed that the priest give up $4,000 for alienating her affections. With Tusyu- ski was Leo Czechowski, both of whom. according to Rev. Rosinsk's story, started to beat him and tear his clothes from his back when he refused to give them any money. Hi3 jewelry was taken from him as well as $30, and he was detained as prisoner for twenty four hours without food or drink until he consented to sign the checks and notes. These checks were cashed by Tusyuskl and the woman, it is said. Upon their return to the room with the money the priest says he was released. The trio were arrested. The two notes and $819 were found under a carpet in the woman's room. LIVES LOST IN FIRE Three Guests Perish in the Burning of a Hotel Readville, Me., Aug. 26. Four persons lost their lives in a fire which de stroyed the Maranacook Hotel at an early hour this morning. Three other persons were burned or otherwise in jured. The three bodies found in the ruins later are those, of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Martin and child of Boston. Over four score guests and employes escaped in night attire, many of them leaping from the windows. That there had been loss of life was not known until a search of the ruins durine the morning revealed the charred bodies. The fire, -which is supposed to have been caused by a defective chimney, spread rapidly throughout the wooden structure. Clerk Robert Boutwell dis- the corridors, aroused all the sruests. covered the flames, and rushing through In doing this, however, he was serious ly, burned, and later while attending to the guests in the cold air of the early trfornlng-, contracted v a severe cold which, it is feared, will - develop into pneumonia. Many guests were forced to jump from windows to escape the flames. None of the guests saved their personal effects and many of them were unconscious Washington, Aug. 26. Edwin R. Holmes, Jr., former associate statisti cian in the department of agriculture, who is under indictment for con spiracy in connection with the govern ment crop reports, did not appear in the criminal court today and give bond as was promised he would by his attorney yesterday. Holmes was ex- pected at the court room today before noon, ana JJlstrict Attorney Morgan H. Beach was very much annoyed by Holmes' failure to put in an appear ance. Mr. Beach waited patiently un til noon, and two hours later he swore out a warrant upon the indict ment handed down by the federal grand jury Tuesday. Up to a late hour tonight the warrant had not been served. Holmes is understood to be here, but his whereabouts, so far as can be learned, has not been made known to the authorities. W. E. Les ter, of counsel for Holmes, assurred Mr. Beach that Holmes would be here Monday. Detectives were stationed at both depots today, and it is understood the detail was made at the request of the district attorney In speaJting of the case today, Mr. Lester, who with A. S. Worthinerton. is representing Holmes interest, said that hiis client had no intention of evading! arrest, and that he had no fear of the outcome when' the case was taken into the courts. Holmes' failure to appear to file bond today he said, was due to a misunderstand ing. Mr. Lester said: 'Mr. Holmes was in a far western state when the first publicity was given to what is called 'the cotton leak.' He at once returned to this ,crty and I notified the district attor ney of his presence and that he would be on hand if h)e was wanted. He stayed here for some time and then took an extensive trip west going as far as Washington state where he re mained several days. He has never thought of leaving the country but on the contrary courts an investigation. which will disclose the real facts and which he knows will establish his innocence. "His whereabouts for the past several days has not been known to the au thorities, but he has at all times held himself ready to answer any charge, and as soon as I learned he was wanted I Notified him. He will be here Mon day morning and give such bond as required. I told Mr. Beach that I would have him here today, but I for got at the time that today was but really a half day, and I could not get him here before 12 o'clock. I did not say that I would- have him here by 10 o'clock, but he should have been here before noon but for an unusual and unaccountable delay in the malls Mr. Holmes is not guilty and he has given no advance information concern ing cotton crops, which fact is well known to all those who know the work ings of the office which he held, because all such persons know very well that such information could not be given for the simple reason that the acreage and condition of the cotton crop as furnished by the department represent ed the united judgment of at least four persons, one of whom was the "secre tary of agriculture himself, and that judgment was formed only after the reports from the various agents from all over the country had been tabulated and averaged, all of which was done in the same hour the report was made public. The contents of these reports, which came from these many agents and which were tabulated, were un known until they were known to all four. "It is most remarkable that so much credit should have been given, to the unsupported testimony of a man who says that he bribed a government of ficial, and from Information he received for his money made great Profit. It is inconceivable that such a man should have 'confessed' without a strong mo tive for it, but would have preferred to continue making money, had it been true that he was making any or was receiving such information. What was his motive? When It is shown, as it will be, his pretended disclosures will be understood. "I understand that a warrant was issued for Mr. Holmes, because he -was not here before 12 o'clock.

LAND FRAUD INDICTMENTS True Bills Found Against Claude Thayer and Several Others Portland, Ore., Aug. 26. The federal grand jury investigating the Oresron land frauds have returned true bills against Claude F. Thayer, the Tilla mook capitalist, son of former Gover nor Thayer of this state, and several other operators indicted with him. The significance of this action is empha sized by the fact that when the in dictment was returned there remained but six hours until the law would have become powerless to reach the crime. In September, 1899, approximately on hundred persons made filings at the Oregon city land office to enter timber ed lands in Tillamook county;- the lands being situated in the famous Nehalem Valley. It is alleged that Claude Thayer and his associates had secured a purchaser and the net profits were to be divided. The allegations of fraud in the affidavit to contest, which was subsequently filed, led to the order for an Investigation. These cases involve more monev value in timbered lands than all the cases which have been tried so far. Negro Rapist Arrested Wilmington, N. C. Auar. 26. KnAMa? Thomas Gillespie, a young negro, was ailed nere tonight charged with as sault on a negro girl named Nixon a Middle Sound. It is allfgd that Gil lespie accomplished his purpose only after cruelly beating his victim. He escaped from Middle Sound Tuesday night and was apprehended at Rocinr . Point this morning. Portsmouth, N. H., Au?. 26. The vital question of whether there shall be peace or war between Russia and Japan depends for settlement mainly on the amount of influence Mr. Roosevelt can bring to bear. He does not hold the key to the situation, but to him belongs the credit oft having prevented a rupture of the Portsmouth conference, which would mean a re sumption of the far east hostilities. Had it not been for the strenuous en deavors of the president a break would have come today. As it was, there has been an adjournment of the conference until Monday to srive Mr. Roosevelt the opportunity of making further representations. There is the highest authorltv for the statement that the president has within the last three or four davs made a definite proposal to both Japan and Russia for the adjustment of thteir differences. While the details of this important move on the president's part are not disclosed, it is admitted that it is of a character so entirely sane and reasonable that the powers of Europe would virtually insist upon its acceptance by the two warring na tions if they knew of its character and scope. But for the present M!r. Roose velt is working entirely with Russia and Japan, neither of which, however, is yet willinej to bring: forward the president's plan of settlement, nartlv for the reason that it is contrary to the basis upon which they have been negotiating. The understanding; obtained here with reference to the president's propo sition is that it was made-to the re spective envoys through their govern ments. This appears to account for the positive statements of those in authority on the Russian side that Mr. Roosevelt has confined his communica tions to the plenipotentiaries to a tender of good offices and did not make any special suggestions. But whether' the president in his direct exchanges with -the envoys did. or did not, make his specific proposi tions is now a matter of no conse quence in the knowledge that a plan, prepared and endorsed bv him- has been placed before M. Witte and Baron Komura and has been given the most serious consideration. It is a fact, however, that in the week that has passed since President Roosevelt had his Interview at Oyster i Bay with Baron Rosen, M. Witte's col league, he has had a comprehen sive correspondence by telegraph and through the medium of special mes sengers with both the Russian and Japanese envoys, in which every point of difference was discussed in detail in , a free and frank manner, and. in this exchange of views the president did not hesitate to suggest what he regarded as reasonable means for a common understanding on the part of the two belligerents. All the evidence now at hand shows that the president did not for a moment abandon his hopes to clear away the obstacles that threatened the conference. In his communication to the Rus sians setting forth, his reason why there should be peace made at Ports mouth the president spoke plainly. He said with frankness that Russia had been beaten and .could gain nothing by going on with the war. In the name of humanity he appealed for peace, and made it clear that hte be lieved the Japanese were showing a moderation which Russia should meet half way by assenting to buy back terri tory formerly belonging- to .Russia, but now held' by Japanese troops. What more was said by the president, particularly that part of his proposal which is expected to meet with the approval of the world, "will probably be disclosed shortly unless the bellig erents make' up their differences and agree jipon thie terms of a treaty in the .meantime.' The Russians are not pleased over .'the" president's attitude. They hold that he has gone to too great length in the effort to induce them to pay for the cost the war. It is respect for his opinions and his enthusiastic endeavor to bring peace that has caused the envoys, with the approval of the powers that be at Toklo and St. Petersburg, to hesitate in making the deciding stroke toward a , continuance of the war. The Rus sian and Japanese governments .were actuated also in this conservative course by a realization of the coiv demnation which they would risk from th civilized world if theg rejected the plan which the president is now urging with all his might and main. Had it not been for the Influence of the presi dent the Portsmouth conference would have ended today and the war would have - gone on. To their high regard for Mr.- Roose velt and their desire to show 9nnM. ation for the friendship Of the TTnl al j States, which must be attributed to i the Concilia tr,ir o-ntt -i-1 -1- , ol,uu wmui was snown by the Japanese in offering to sell back the northern part of Saghalien Island io tne Russians for an amount approxi mating $600,000,000. The president was greatly pleased over this action of the Tokio government, and. he ha3 not hesitated to say so to the Russians. He spoke of the Japanese proposal as "moderate." this being the exact word used, i and showed that he believed It should be accepted. Since then he has devoted his efforts almost entirely to bringing the Rus sians to make concessions and the Influence which he Is .wielding was de monstrated again today throng tv,., suggestion by the czar's representatives willingness on their part to cede the Island of Saghalien to Japan If the latter government would waive a de mand of indemnity.

It was a sharp struggle for second place between Tim ber and Belmere, and the former beat Belmere by a head. There were sixteen starters. An en thusiastic crowd of 30,000 persons saw the race. Ormondale ran in the name of the Ormondale stable. His viory was a popular one, he being heu.Jy backed. John W. Gates was credited with a wager on Ormondale that netted him sd,vw. There was some delay at the start, owing to the unruliness of some horses, but Starter Cassidy got the bunch off to a good start. Redfern, who had the mount on Ormondale, hustled his mount right ahead, and when a sixteenth of a mile was cov ered was in the lead. The others were beaten at this early stage of the race. Redfern shook up his mount and he landed under the wire a winner. After the race Redfern said that Ormondale had a world of speed and could have run away from the field with ease if he had permitted him to do so. In addition to the $33,680 that went to the winner, Timber's share was $3,088.33 while Belmere'? share was $2,166.67. Warm Reception for Woodward Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 26.

New Orleans, Aug. -26.-Yellow record today: " V New cases 41.1 ' - Deaths 10. . The appearance of yellow: fever at Gulfport. Miss., the railroad and com mercial center for the Mis5ii n,,, j Coast, and its reappearance at Lake x xuvmence, just across the river from Mississippi, have sent another wave of panic quarantines through that state. Gulfport is only a few miles from Mississippi City, and great fear has been entertained that the disease would spread there. There are but three cases in Gulfport. They are thought to have come from Misi sippl City, but the origin of the ni. ' ease has not yet been definitely de termined.
