Williams, ex- chief justice of Oregon, ex United States senator from the atate of Oregon, attorney general in President Grant’s second cabinot, mayor of Portland anda man with the enow of 83 winters upon hia head, was indicted by the county grand jury of Multnomah today on the charge of malfeasance in offi-e.

Representative Baker Introduces Resolutions Looking to In- vestigation and Pros- ecution. Washington, Jan. 6.—Basing his ac- {tion on recent evidence before the Interstate Commission, concerning rebates on the Atchison, Topeka & Stnta Fe Railroad while Mr. Morton wae its trottc manager, Representa- tive Baker, of Brooklynn borough to-day introduced two resolutions looking to the {investigation prosecution of the Seeretary of the Navy. They were referred to the Louse Commities on Judleinry, where they are likely to remaim some time in spite of Mr, Baker's expressed Inten- | tion to keep the subject alive uatil ‘some action is taken, One resolution recites the judicial Opinion of Judge Gaynor to theeffeet that roilroad rebates consiitute! the greatest erime of our day and gene- jration,” and also quotes from the President's message saying that “It is necessary to pubastop to all re- bates.” It then suggests that the House arks the President whether, in view of these facta, it is conductive to the public Interest to retain Secretary Morton in the Cabinet The other resolution tells of the evidence before the Interstate Com merce Commission relating to rebates to the Colorado Fuel and [ron Comp- any, and requests the Attorney Gen- eral to inform the House whether or inot the act of Mr. Morton as vice president of the Atchison road ig a violation of the law, and what steps have been teken towards erimina) prosecution Secretary Morton intends to ap- pear before the Interstate Commerce Commission at Chicago and tell what he knows of the charge of the Cale- doula Cosl Company, of New Mexico, that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe raflroad, while Me. Morton was its second vice president, gave re- bates to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. The other officials of the railroad at that time will also testify before the commission, and in this manner they expect to show that the whole transaction was thoroughly d:f-ne- ible and that the suit brought by the Caledonia Company grew-out of the refusal of the railroad to pay an in- creased price for fuel. The talk about the capital is that President Roosevelt, in view of these developments, will ask Mr. Morton to resign, if that official does not do so of his own accord, Stoessel Had But 5,000. Tokio, January 7.—\fter the sur- render of Port Arthur the Japanese learned that there were only 5.000 efficient troops in the fortress. There were 20,000 sick and wound soldiers in the hospitals.

It fs reported that there is an abundance of breadstuffs, but little other food. A considerable quantity of war stores and repairing mate- rials were found in the dockyard. The possible value of the hulke of | the warships can not be learned. The Russian destroyers which reached Che Foo have been dis- armed.
