MORTON JUMPED He Suffered the Death Penalty fur Killing; a Sheriff. UNDER JUDGE LYNCH'S RULING The Hanging Wa Conducted With Much Formality ,a. If It II ml Been Legul Affulr None of the Hoh Con renlod HI. Identity, . Lexington, Ky., October 10. Anotlier lynching has been added to the unusually large full series of the Bliiegrass lynch ing bees. Saturday at the close of the lleattyville fair Oscar Morton, a citizen of Stanton in Powell county, went out on the warpath. Two weeks ago Morton killed a man at Stanton, and was out on 5,000 bonds. Ho arrived at the fair Suturduy, and immediately proceeded to get drunk. When thoroughly intoxi cated he started to hunt for Sheriff Sims, who was his deadly enemy, a feud of long standing having existed between the two. Sims and Morton met near the entrance to the fair grounds, and after a few words both of them drew guns. A quick exchange of shots followed, Mor ton using two guns. His first shot broke the Sheriff's right arm at the elbow. John Hogg, a friend of Sims, whipped out his gun ana joined in the battle, lien the smoke cleared away it was found that Sims was dead, having been thrice Bliot through Ins breast, in the abdomen and through the arm. Morton was shot through the neck, while Hogg was unhurt. Morton was hustled to the county jail and placed under guard. The people became infuriated, and a big meeting was at once held on the public square, colonel jonn urummona mounted a barrel and made a speech. He said the murderer must be hanged, but that the work must be done quietly and with perfect order. Morton .hail killed two men in less than two months, and he - must die by the rope. A mob was quickly formed and marched to the jail. The jailer was overpowered and the key to Morton's cell obtained. He was found crouched on the floor, and after a strugglewas seized and drugged out. Seeing his game was up, Morton made the best of things and told the mob that he did not care what they did with him, provided they did their work quickly.. After a short parley he was taken to a little bridge some distance from town, and the rope was placed around his neck. The leaders drew their guns, and told him to jump or else he would be riddled with bullets. Turning around, the doomed man cursed his captors and, uttering wild imprecations, jumped into space. The jump broke his neck. After dangling in the air for some minutes his body became stiff, and a volley of bullets were fired into it. The mob then disporsed, leaving the body dangling from the bridge. At noon Sun day it was there still. None of the mob made any attempt to conceal bis identity, and the hanging was conducted with as much formality as if it had been a legal affair. - T,he. ninrderer was a wealthy man, who lived at Stanton. THK STAMP TIIJ2FT. Twelve or Fifteen Hundred Dollar. Will Cover the Lonei. Washington, October 16. The offi cials of the bureau of engraving and printing express the opinion that the losses of postage stamps by the thefts of Smith and his confederates will not ex ceed $1,200 or f 1,500. Up to this time nearly sixty-four postmasters in differ ent parts of the country in addition to the one at Ionia, Mich., have made com plaint of shortage in the stamps shipped them, but in each cose the loss was very small. It is expected that by the middle of the coming week they will have re ceived reports from all postmasters whose shipments of stamps it is believed have been tampered with. William A. Beach, who was arrested at Orange, N. J., ami released, is now being looked after by the postal inspectors' attorney, and with his capture it is believed all of those who were implicated will have been apprehended. That Propo.ed Truit, New York, October 16. Senator Cal vin S.,Brice, President of the Lake Erie and Western and Chairman of the Com mittee on Reorganization of the Union Pacific roads in the Senate, bad this to pay to-day: "The railroads could not form a trust with the law as it is at pres ent. Such a combine would be like a rope of sand, and having nothing to hold it together, we must have pooling legal ized and permitted before we can get to gether." John K. Cowan, general coun sel of the Baltimore and Ohio road, said : " I have heard nothing about the forma tion of the proposed trust, and know that our company is not identified with it." Manufacturer. Determined. New Yobk, October 16. The cloak manufacturers have determined to re sist the demands of the striking cloak makers and to refuse to make any con-ces-ions the workmen demand. This course was decided on at a meeting here. Sixtv men, representing an aggregate capital of 140,000,000, were present. It was agreed that no manufacturer would make any concision or compromise with the strikers withont the consent of all. Some speakers said they would rather go out of business than accede to the de mands of the strikers. Important Decl.lon. South McAllister, I. T., October 16. Judge J. B. Stuart has been holding during tile present term of the United States Court that all parties who have heretofore been convicted or pleaded guilty to liquor-selling in the Indian countn are incompetent to testify. As the law makes liquor-selling in the In dian country a felony, this is a very im portant decision, for some of the leading citizens pleaded guilty to this charge and received small fine. It may lead to disfranchisement when the country be comes a State. BELLOMY & BUSCH, Oregon City, Or. CALIKOltNlA'S OltANOK CHOP. The Auction Bale. In Sun Franolaco Will Probably be Reopened. San Francisco, October 10. It is probable that the San Francisco auction for the sale of oranges will be reopened early in December in a manner similur to that of last year, with some changes in its general management. The Orange Exchanges of Kiverside, Pomona, On tario, Kedlunds, Duarte and Los An geles will have a joint meeting of repre sentatives to-morrow, at which time the question of establishing a permanent Sun Francisco auction-house will be de cided. The men who probably will have tne auction-House in ciiarge are u. ft, Allison and Frank Dal ton and W. W, Jones, the auctioneer who organized and conducted the auction establishment last year. The Orange Exchanges named are convinced that this method greatly facil itates the distribution of that fruit crop and saves money for ttie producer. It does away with all the small and sepa rate shipments to tne i;oast cities ami towns, as well as to Eastern markets. and is a saving in freight and commis sions. W. W. Jones, who has returned. from an extended selling trip in the East, will probably be the auctioneer and gen eral manager. The location has not yet been fixed definitely. A very large crop, heavy shipments and extensive sales are expected in fact, much larger than those ol lastvear. the ban irancisco auction sales of the crop of 18H3 amounted to $180,000, and this in spite of the severe frost which destroyed the larger portion of the Kiverside crop. The outlook for this year s crop is very promising, Daurte and ltedlands having better prospects than ever before. These latter places seem to prefer to ship their fruit free on board the cars to the principal markets, but they also feel disposed to join with the other exchanges and become regular shippers to the San Francisco auction. The matter will be definitely settled within a few days. AFFAIRS IN VENEZUELA. General Denial of the Reported Internal Trouble. In That Country. Washington, October 16. Senor Jose Andrade, the Venezuelan Minister to the United States, authorizes a sweeping denial of the report on internal troubles in Venezuela. His latest advices from Caracas state tbat the interests of peaca were never so firmly established. There are no signs of rebellion or discontent among the people, and the situation of affairs in the country, he says, has never been more promising, Business with the United States is reviving since the discriminations in favor of some of the other South American countries have been removed by the abolition of the re ciprocity treaties, iselore those treaties went into effect Venezuela was shipping to the United States 3U.UUU.UUU pounds of collee annually. After Brazil negoti' ated a commercial treaty with the United States Venezuela coffee was compelled to find a market in Europe, and the ship' nients to this country fell off to 8.000.- 000 pounds. Venezuelan cofTee growers now anticipate anotlier market lor tneir product in the United Mates, in which country they prefer to sell their coffee, owing to their closer proximity, which results in much lower freight rates, An drade has no official confirmation of the report that Venezuelan forces have crossed the Yuruari territory and occu pied the (Juyuni Valley region, driving off the British police. That territory, the Minister explains, is the property of V enezuela, and is in no wise connected with the territory in dispute between Venezuela and British Guiana. In other words, if the Venezuelan forces are oc cupying the Cuyuni Valley region, they are merely establishing themselves on property which belongs to them, while the British police, who are said to have been driven off, are mere interlopers. SOUTH AFRICA. The Kaffir. Again Attack I.ourenio Mar que., But Are Kepul.ed. Loubenzo Marqubz, October 16. The rebellious Kaffirs in great force attacked this town to-day, but were reputed. A renewal of the attack is expected at any time. The situation is serious, for the force defending the place is not sufficient to make a prolonged resistance. ASSISTANCE OFFERED. Capetown, October 16. The govern ment of the South African Republic has offered to assist the Portugese at Lour enzo Marquez against the Kaffirs. The proposed co-operation is regarded with suspicion here as an infringement of British suzerainty. BUT IT IS DECLINED. London, October 16. A dispatch to the Times from Lourenzo Marquez says the Portuguese have declined the offer of as sistance made them by Cecil Rhodes. Prime Minister of Cape Colony, to quell the rebellion. The dispatch says the cable station at Lourenzo Marquez has been abandoned, as has been the cable connected with the British warship Thrush, from which all dispatches are sent. The correspondent of the Times, continuing, says: " The Governor yesterday told me he did not believe the rebels would attack the town, but they attacked it this morn ing and were repulsed by a heavy can nonade. Twelve Portuguese were killed. The country is in open revolt, and the authorities talk of having assistance from the Transvaal. I he situation is unbear able." Mormon. Tarred and Feathered. Cestebtown, Ky., October 16. Elders Freeman and Mercer, Mormon mission aries who have converted fifty people in this vicinity, mostly women, to their faith, were visited by a party of indig nant citizens at 1 o'clock in the morning and given a coat of tar and feathers. The two were then ordered to leave at once, which they promised to do. Healthy Big City. Chicago, October 16. Chicago is the healthiest big city in the world, claims Commissioner Reynolds in bis report covering the World's Fair year. The death rate upon a basis of a population of 1,600,000 wis 19.9, the lowest of any large city in the world with tne possible exception of Berlin. STARS AND STRIPES Uncle Sam Declines to Interfere . in the Oriental War. IT IS NO FIGHT OF OURS Tbl. Government Will Stick to the Time Honored Polley of Minding It. Own llu.lne It I. Rumored That the Chi nese Government Want. Peace. Nkw Yobk, October 15. A special from Washington says: The United States has been invited by the quadruple alliance, composed of Great Britain, France, Germany and Russia, to join it in a friendly intervention In the war be tween China and Japan. The invitation will be declined. The declination is based on the time-honored policy of tins f;overnment to avoid any entangling al' iance with foreign powers. Acknowl- edgment is made of what the invitation nas to say auom me uesirauuiiy oi me restoration of peace, etc.. but in tlie po- lite language of diplomacy it is pointed out that this country has so far managed very well by attending to its own busi- ness, and that so long as it continues to prosper by that policy it will not depart from it. CHINA WOULD LIKE TO END IT. Shanghai, Octolier 15. A rumor is current here the Chinese government has commenced negotiations with Japan for peace. China, it is said, has ottered to acknowledge the independence of Co- rea and pay a war indemnity to Japan. THIS IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. London. October 15. The Tall Mall Gazette publishes an interview with a leading Chinese oiticial in ixmcion, in which he says, with the exception of the naval battle at Yalu, not a serious blow has been struck at China. This, be said, was merely the beginning of a great war. He denied that the battle of Ping Yang was a cruBliing defeat for the Chinese. When hostilities are renewed on a large scale, he declares, China will produce an ample number of warships. OTORI KEIBUKB RECALLED, London. October 15. A dispatch from Yokohama eavs Otori Keisuke. Japanese soldier and diplomate, has been recalled owing to his failure to effect Japanese reforms in Uorea. Uount tnouye, Jap anese Minister of the Interior, will short ly proceed to Corea. CHINESE FORCE AT PINO YANG. London, October 15. The Times will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Shanghai, stating that reporta from Moukden confirm the. statement that only 4,000 Chinese troops, commanded by General Tso, were at Ping Yang. They repulsed the Japanese until Gen eral rso was Kiuea. inis, it is auueu, explains the small Chinese loss. ANOTHER ITALIAN WARSHIP. Rome. October 15. The warship Um- bria will sail for China to-morrow. WONDERFUL CAVERNS. They Are-Said to Rival the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky. San Diego, October 15. Captain Free man and a party of prospectors a short time ago discovered a series of caverns in the rocky sides of Cajon Peak, a spur of the Cuyamaca Range, the extent of which they were unable to ascertain, having no lights with them. Last Sun day a party was made up for the purpose of exploring the caves, which were found to rival the Mammoth cave in Kentucky in interesting features, as well as the size of the chambers. There are several external openings, by each of which a vertical descent can be made into a small chamber with several laterals ex tending about 150 feet to the other chambers, some of which are of gigantic size. The roofs and floors are brilliant with stalactites and stalagmites, and as far as the investigations have been ex tended it is apparent that a most won derful discovery has been made. Other passages leading in various directions into the heart of the mountain were traversed for considerable distances, and several mineral specimens of strong sa line qualities were found, bteps are be ing taken to secure title to the land on which the entrances were found, which is still veBted in the government, and a company will be organized to thoroughly explore the caverns, which are Baid to be oi immenBe extent, ami open uieir won ders to the public. RICH MINING STRIKE. It Wa. Made In the Gold Hill Dl.trlct North of Jacksonville. Jacksonville, Or., October 15. An other rich mining strike was made here last week. A company, composed of E. B. Watson, K. Kubli, Frank Knight and H. D. Kubli, has been working a quartz ledge on Gale's creek in the Gold Hill mining district, about twenty miles north of Jacksonville. The company has been working during the past six months with an arastra. Last week they struck a twenty-foot ledge, full of free gold, that looks now like the richest strike ever made in Southern Oregon. Mr. Kubli brought some of the quartz to Jacksonville, and to-day pounded it out in a hand mortar, and tne prospects proved very rich. Many persons have called to-day to see the result of the mortar prospect. The mine bad been placed on sale at $20,000, but that offer was withdrawn to-day, and Mr. Kubli savs the company will put up a five- stamp mill at once. SOUND LUMBER. September Shipment. Show the Foreign Trade 1. Improving. Tacoma, October 15. The figures for the September shipments show conclu sively tbat the foreign lumber trade is improving. The Tacoma, the St. Paul and Tacoma. the Port Blakelev, the Pu- get Sound and the Stimson Mill Compa nies, nve in number, during eepiemoer shipped by water from Puget Sound nearly 21, 000,000 feet of lumber, of which over 9,000,000 feet went to foreign coun tries, including Australia, Linn, Jew South Wales, South Africa, Hawaii and Mexico. The remainder went to Cali fornia. It is claimed that the Pacific Coast Lumber Company of this city broke the world's record recently for cutting shin gles, the crew cutting in ten hours 497, 000 shingles on a Challoner ten-blocker and a double-biocker machine. Preparing for a Revoloifon. New York, October 15. A special to the World from Caracas tays : The gov ernment is forcing conscription all over the country. The work has been sus pended on railroads. Men who were re pairing the bridges damaged by the floods have been forced into the army. The government if preparing for tbe in evitable revolution. Workingmen pre fer joining tbe rebels to serving the con scripts, and are making their way to Aroanco. BAID IN INTERVIEWS. Prince Yaina.hlno Doe. Not Think the Power. Will Interfere. Quarantine, L. I.,Octoborl5. Prince Yamasbinoof Japan, accompanied by two of his suite, arrived this afternoon by the steamer Augusta Victoriu, When inter' viewed at Quarantine he seemed eager to learn the latest news Irom tne seat oi war. and was hlirhlv elated to learn Of the successes of the Japanese army and the intended march on Peking, tie has no doubts as to the final success of Ja pan. When asked as to what he thought of the probabilities of the intervention oi otner powers to stop the war, ne nesi tated, and did not seem to care to an' swer the question, but stated, however, that lie did not think the other powers would interfere in the struggle. The Prince expected to meet the Japanese Uonsul on his arrival, lie win remain in town for a few davs. and will prob ably visit Washington before proceeding to San Francisco, where be will take the steamer for Japan. , THE WAR A GOOD THING, San Francisco, October 15. Rev. Gil' bert Reid. who BDent eleven years ii China, learned the language and adopted while there the Chinese dress, is in the citv. Mr. Reid has been trusted at di ferent times with the settlement of dif ficulties in connection with the acquis! tion of land and buildings, and these he has always ud mated with success. He is one of the most noted of the mission anes. He lias been absent in tne r.ast for some time and is now going back, this time to work anions the mandarins military and civil, the local gentry and nobility. Hitherto he has met on dif ferent occasions the higher officials in China, including the Grand Secretary, the Foreign Officer and Viceroy Li Hung Chang. It is with these he will labor in future, lie has hitherto acted in con nection with the Presbvterian Church but in this work he and his associates will be unsectariun, and even in eome cases unorthodox, according to some standards. He said yesterday : The war in China will be the best tliine that ever happened that country. It will place her in the forward movement of civilization, which thirty years' intercourse with foreign powers has not succeeded in accomplish ine. For any one who has influence with those who control affairs in China these opportunities are all the more ap parent and tne demands are ail tne greater. It is largely owing to the ac- quaintances which 1 nave been able form with some of the prominent men in China, and to the deep interest which I have in promoting the prosperity of that people, that I am now returning to seize any opportunity which may arise both for the missionaries and the native church, and for urging China forward at the opportune moment in the ways ol lm provement and civilization. The next year will be the turning point in China's history, and that tremendous body of Chinese population with its conserva tism and pride will begin to look around and then to move on in the pathway of progress, peace and prosperity. HAWAII'S LAST QUEEN, Why Mr. Wldemann of Honolulu I. at the National Capital. Washington, October 15. H. A, Wi ha in Waotiintytrtn ttt tlilo fimo fla a ran. resentative of ex-Queen Liliuokalani to bring suit against thu Urjited States for a sum in the neighborhood of $2,000,000, is giving the State Department consider able trouble. That he and those sym pathizing with the ex-Queen in Hawaii are endeavoring to secure something for her from this country is no longer doubt ed. From a high official in the State Department the correspondent was told to-day that, while Widemann has made no particular representations to Secre tary Gresliam in behalf of the ex-Queen, the belief among diplomatic in the State Department was that widemann was here for the express purpose of either bringing suit against the government or to induce Congress at tne coming session to settle with the representative of the displaced monarchy on some financial basis. Secretary Gresham and the Presi dent, so it is learned, will, if Widemann either brings suit or presents the ex Queen s case before Congress, put in an answer that the present administration at one time offered to restore the Queen to the throne from which she bad been displaced by Minister Stevens, repre senting the Harrison administration, but that the Queen declined to accept the terms of the Cleveland administration unless she as the bead of the restored monarchy would be permitted to deal with the principals of the so-called rev olution as she pleased. This purpose on the part of Qneon Liliuokalani to behead some of the men instrumental in bring ing about her overthrow brought about the decision of President Cleveland and Secretary Gresham to take no further action in her case. This is the defense in a nutshell. FEELING IN FLORIDA. Opposition to the Corbett-Flt.Mlmmon. Fight Already Developed. Jacksonville, Fla., October 15. Un less there shall be a radical change in public sentiment there will be no op position to the proposed fight here be tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons. Mr. Richardson, one of the principal backers of the Florida Athletic Club, is reported to have laid the club had been given " inside assurance " that they have no thing to fear from the Legislature. Some surprise is felt at the publication in the Citizen to-day, a paper which took no stand in opposition to the Mitchell-Cor-bett fight when it was pending, as fol lows : "Allow us to say right now that the so-called preliminaries of the so-called glove contest might as well lie abandoned right now. Jacksonville is not a candi date for any further notoriety in this line. 1 he scientific contests, as the par lance of the ring has it, are nothing less than brutal prizefights, in which one of the participants undertakes to punch the other's head off according to certain fixed rules. As soon as the Legislature of next spring shall have organized and some member can get the attention of the Speaker, we shall have an iron- bound anti-pnzefigbt law that will cover every phase of this subject. There is no mistake about this, and Messrs. Corbett and Fitzsimmons may prepare to take their chow to some less civilized and more lawless country." WHAT GOVERNOR MITCHELL BAYS. New Orleans, October 15 The City Item in answer to a query whether the Corbett and Fitzsimmons fiitht would be allowed on Florida soil received the fol lowing reply from Governor Mitchell: "Corbett and Fitzsimmons will not be allowed to meet in Florida, even if the Legislature has to be reconvened lor tbe purpose of preventing tbe fight." Snlllraa ae a Trainer. South FARMinoHAjf, Mass., October 15. John L. Sullivan, the ex-champion pngilist, is negotiating for the lease of the well-known Davis farm in heath her bom. Tbe deal will be cloned in a few days. He will retire from the stage and establish a sanitarium on tbe farm, fnrnishini? the training Quarters for ta- gilists.

So Change Tbat an Inorea.e In the Effective Strength of the Army I. Demanded -Particular Reference 'Made to the Deb. Strike. Washington, October 13. Major-Gen al Schofield has made to the Secretary War his report on the operations of e army during the nast vear. . General rfjhofield, who has keen at tbe head of tbe army since the death of General Sheridan, announced his retirement next year. The report is principally devoted U) a discussion of the necessity for strengthening the military arm of the government to cope with internal dis orders as well as nossihla dancer from Without, particular reference being made td the Debs strike. The report says : I" During a large part of the year the army has been employed in the suppres sion of domestic violence which took tbe form ' in many cases of forcible resist ance to the execution of the laws of the United States and the seizure or destruc tion of property under United States of ficers. These disorders, at first local in character, spread at length to about one half in number and two-thirds in area of, all the States and Territories exclud ing Alaska, bo widespread and formida ble an insurrection called for the vigor ous action dictated by the President. At the city of Chicago the resistance to law assumed such formidable proportions that it was necessarv to concentrate at that place nearly all the armv forces that could be made available from all parte of the country, while on the Pacific Coast the Navv Department placed at tne disposal oi the department com mander the naval and marine forces at tbe Mare Island navv vard. and these forces rendered valuable services. The responsible duties thus devolved upon the Army Department commanders were performed by them and the troops under their command in the most satisfactory manner. The insurrection was prompt ly suppressed without any unnecessary sacrifice in any case. The prompt and vigorous action of troops in all cases and the great forbearance manifested by them when subjected to all sorts of in sults and indignities designed to pro voke retaliation were worthy of the highest commendation. It illustrated in a most striking manner the great value to a government of a well-disciplined force at all times, subject to orders of that government for the enforcement of the faithful execution of its laws. " It would seem unnecessary to point out the fact that any force like the mi litia of a State or the police of a city, ac''f--;primarily under another author ity ' ' ugh highly efficient in their ap- prf - Ite service, cannot be mt ) a re i tnstrniBenB-Tor ino -prouipri anu ,,Je execution of the laws of the I ' Ut' -'l States. Manifestly every gov- ernn. iht should have an adequate force of its own for the execution of its own laws no less than the judicial executive officers necessary for the same purpose. " The country is now for the first time squarely confronted with the necessity of making adequate provision not only for defense against any possible foreign agression, but also for defense against domestic violence in the form of forcible resistance to the laws of the United States. A just estimate of those means of defense requires consideration of ttie vast extent of the United States and the great amount of property widely dis persed throughout this territory, either belonging to the United States or in such condition as to be under the protection of the national government. When these facts are duly considered it becomes manifest that the presentfetrengthof the army is not adequate to the performance of the service which may at any time be required. It is certainly manife-t that the present condition of the coontrv, with a Donulation of nearly 70.000.000 and under the danger of disorder now known to exist, cannot be met with the same force that was deemed adequate twenty-live years ago, when ttie popula tion of the country was less than half its present number and destructive violence was not apprehended. One man to four teen square miles of territory or one man to 2.800 population is surely a very small guard to protect property and pre vent violation of law, leaving out of con sideration the force necessary to guard the extended seacoast against sudden at tack by a foreign enemy. It is also worthy of remark that more than once in the fast summer an infuriated mob in a single citv was twice as formidable in number and capacity of doing vastly greater Injury to life and property than the most formidable combination of In- i an warriors that ever confronted the army in this country. In a few words, the army has been recently required to deal with an army far more numerous and dangerous to tbe country than any savage enemy which it has hitherto been called upon to meet." NEW YORK CLOAK MAKERS. Their Parade Laat Night the Occa.lon of Much Rioting. New Yohk, October. 13. The assem blage of cloakmakers in Rutgers square to-night, preparatory to their parade and mass meeting, was marked by in- iscriminate clubbing by the ponce of the Madison-street station under com- land of Captain Grant. Revolvers were irawn and shots were fired in the air. Three times the gathering was dispersed. The square was the scene of a riot until Superintendent Byrnes' permit to pa- ade arrived, hven then the slugging and jostling continued, women and children were treated alike. The parade was divided into two sections. The first went off without interruption, but the second headed by Joseph Barondess was topped by the police ol the r.lizabeth- street station. Barondess was arrested nd detained until the Sergeant in charge had communicated with police head quarters and ascertained that the parade was authorized by the superintendent. Eight thousand Demons, of whom one- tenth were women, assembled in Union square. La.t of Casey. Scoot.. Omaha, October 12. The last mem bers of troop D, Sixth Cavalry, weredis- harged at Fort Omaha to-day. This is the Indian company known as the Casey scouts, the only instance of the kind in the United States history. It seems to be demonstrated tbat the members do not take kindly to soldier life and are not as contented as they were in the more independent life as scoots. In or ganizing Troop L the Indians were all taken from tbe Cbeyennes, which com pjeed Casey's scouts, and in bonor of the young officer it was designated Casey's scouts. By the discharge Major Fechet, Senior Major of tbe regiment, now at Fort McKinnev. is left without a I command. KEEP OFF RESERVATION. The Court Decide, a Puyallup Indian Cannot Alienate HI. Land. San Francisco, October 13. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals decided to-day that the Puyallup Indians have not the power to alienate tbe land granted to them in severalty, and ap proved the conduct of the agent, who drove tbe workmen off the reservation. Tbe decision is one of tbe most Impor tant that has been rendered since the organization of the court, and unless re versed by the Supreme Court of the United States will be an impregnable barrier between the unsophisticated In' dian and the enterprising white. The case before the court was that of Edwin Kells. Indian agent of the Puyallup res ervation in Washington, against Frank C. Ross. Ross is a railroad contractor, and in the early part of 1803 he was engaged in building a road through tbe Puyallup reservation, from John UooK and ousle Cook, Indians, who had a farm on the reservation, Ross secured permnsion to occupy their land and to erect camps on it for his men. Soon after Ross took possession of the land the Indian agent ordered him to vacate tbe premises on the claim that the ground he occupied was government property. Koss, how ever, did not move, and then the Indian agent called the military to his assistance and drove turn away by force of arms. Ross took the case into the United States Circuit Court for Washington, which de cided that Eells had no authority to drive Koss oil the reservation; so the Indian agent was enjoined from inter fering willi the contractor. Soon after this decision Kells appealed to the Ap pellate Uourt, and now that tribunal de cides in his favor, overruling the lude ment ol the lower court and ordering Ross to keen off the reservation. The court in its decision said : "The act of 1887. which confers citi zenship, clearly does not emancipate the Indians from ail control or abolish the reservations. That the abolition of res ervationa is the ultimate hope of the irovernment's nolicv there can be no doubt, but it will not be soon and cannot be realized by attributing fanciful quali ties to Indians or supposing their nature can be changed by a legislative enact ment, the patent has clear words of prohibition against alienation. The power of the government to impose re straint is not questioned, and its pur pose is certainly not ambiguous. The treaties with the Indiana, the allotment of land in severalty, all had the purpose of fixing them in permanent homes. "Bv article tt of the treaty the privilege of allotment can only be availed of by those who locate the same as a perma nent home, and the purpose is so clear, insistent and dominant tbat the Presi dent is given power to prescribe such rules and regulations as will insure the family in case of the death of the head thereof the possession and enjoyment of such home, and be may issue a patent only to such a person who has made a location for a permanent home, and, if issued, may cancel the patent if such ferson or family go from place to place, t follows therefore that tne contract of Ross with the Indians was void, and he was properly riped from the reserva tion. If it Is Tor InG'lhtereat of the In dian or commerce to remove restraints upon alienation, Congress will undoubt edly do so if applied to, and in the latter case it will be enabled to provide for the interests of the Indians, out thev seem to have provided for themselves in the contract with Ross." 'FRISCO NOT BENEFITED. The War In the Kaat Ha. Not Done That Port Much Good. San Francisco, October 13. Beyond the sale of a few shipments of flour and canned goods the merchants of San Francisco have not derived much bene fit from the war in the Orient, says a morning paper. Local wholesalers claim that they cannot compete with the Ca nadian Pacific and the cheap transporta tion and manufacturing concerns of Eu rope. They say that the war cannot do the port of San Francisco any good. Re ports from Japan and China, however, tend to disprove the belief, and show that it is want of energy and business promptness on our own part that is standing in our way. Late advices re ceived via Victoria from Japan say the local steamer and cargo-stun service of tbat country and China have been great ly demoralized by the war. Shipping is at a standstill, and some ports are sadly in need of certain lines of merchandise. For the benefit of our Northern neigh iiors that have extensive coal mines the following quotation is copied from a let ter received in this city a few days ago: "Japan's coul stock has nearly all been bought up at a high premium, and the price of coal has advanced nearly 100'por cent, with ready sales. Australian coal lia not been shipped here in any quan tity for a long time, and most of the Eng lish coals are too high-priced to handle." Some of our Pacific Coast hulls might find employment carrying coal to Asia. FORFEITED THEIR SEATS. Refu.ed lo Take the Oath of Allegiance to the Emperor. Berlin, October 13. Deputy Bueb and young Oppler, both Social Democrats, have refused to take the oath of allegi ance to the Emperor before entering the Provincial Council in Strasburg, and thus have forfeited the seats to which they were elected recently. Their objec tion to the oath was that it was at vari ance with their republican principles. There is much curiosity to know whether bueb and Oppler are acting on a new principle of their party or merely on their own responsibility. Neither Beibel nor Liebkneciit lias ever refused to take tbe oath upon entering the public bodies to which tliey have been elected. The Price of Coal. San Francisco, October 12. Refer ring to the combination reported to have been formed by tbe two big coal-mining corporations of British Columbia and the predicted increase in the price of coal, an evening paper says: To allay the fears of San Francisco consumers we may state that no advance here need be expected. The city is full of coal, the harbor is full of it, and large quantities of it are on the way. On board ships in the harbor are over tt.uuu tons, for which storage room cannot be found, and there are 15,000 tons on the way from Cardiff, 7,000 on the way from Newcastle and 15, 000 from Glasgow, Kutchinotzu, Japan, and other ports. .

WIND AND WATER Storm Causes Great Destruc tion in Florida. DISPATCHES TELL SAD TALES Damage Done to Towns la the Path of the storm I. Reported to be Almo.t Incalculable Appalaehlcola and Ce- dar Keys the Principal Sufferer.. Jacksonville, Fla., October 14. Com munication has been re-established with all points on the west coast visited by the recent storm, and dispatches tell woeful tales of tbe destruction caused by tbe wind and water. Appalaehlcola and Cedar Keys were directly in the storm's path, and the damage at those places is almost incalculable. The storm first o Ul' mum a.

The damage is great. Tbe t lorida Central is a heavy sufferer. Al most the entire track to the mainland. a distance of three and one-half miles. is aestroved. i-rora tne mainland to Sumner, four and one-half miles, there are nearly iuu washouts. The Town Im provement Company Is a beavy loser, as a uuiuuer ui uumnesa anu, uweiung houses were swept away. The total Iota here amounts to several thousand dol lars. The city hall, a two-story build ing, bad the roof blown off and one side knocked out. The city jail cannot be found. The five bridges to the Bhell road are washed away. Many small boats were wrecked, one sloop came in Tues day with five men, who had clung to a palmetto tree since Monday night. It is reported tbat five sponge vessels went ashore during the storm and were driven Beven miles into the woods." from Cedar Keys the cyclone traveled np the west coast to Appalaehlcola. At that point it was even more severe than at Cedar Keys. The following dispatch irom Appalaehlcola says: -pi ever beiore in tne history ol this town was such havoc and destruction played by storm and tide. Water. Com merce and Market streets were a mass of logs, boats, lumber and dead fish. Two lives are reported lost. Two residences were carried a mile away and placed in the marsh near CvDress Mill, uniniured. The docks were totally destroyed, and the houses were unroofed. The families sought safety on the hills, only to be routed by the terrible gale. The water is six feet deep on Water street, and some of the best dry-goods stores were Dattered into pieces by the Hosting tim ber and shattered to destruction. Five barges were blown from East Pass and lodged two miles north of here. Kim ball & Co.. lumber dealers, are heavy losers. It is impossible to obtain an es timate of the losses on goods and build ings. iPeoplaare dunnayedejtd appeals for aid will be sent out." - From many other mints in West Flor ida come reports of the storm's destruct ive work, but Cedar Keys and Appalach ians seem to have been the principal sufferers. NEW FREIGHT BATES. Ho.t of the Dealer. Are Indifferent to the Advanee. Portland, October 13. Wholesale merchants appear to be indifferent to the raise in west-bound freight rates an nounced recently. So far as can be learned, there is no complaint at the ad vance. The average dealer is more in terested in the stability of rates than in the raise. 11 he is certain that he is granted the same rate as bis competitor, tie is satisfied. As for ttie amount of the advance, that is added to the amount of ti is sales, and the dealer therefore oc cupies about the same position no matter what freight charges are. These higher rates, it is claimed, will be of some slight benefit to the wholesaler in preventing the retailer from ordering direct from the manufacturer, as bas been done to a considerable extent since rates were placed at the low figure. If there were many manufactories here, this advance or a greater one would be a blessing to them. It was thought that an increase in west-bound freight charges would be of assistance to water lines doing a freighting business around the Horn, but the present advance is not enough to make any material difference, at least at the present time. Merchants here are ordering sparingly from the East, only enough for present needs, and are not inclined to speculate, and are back ward about bringing their goods via tbe lengthy Cape Horn route. But for the prevailing depression in business a change, even such as becomes effective the 20th of the month, would greatly stimulate the clipper trade. NINE MONTHS' EXPORTS.
