SI Pit KM E COI KT DECISION.
Tim KemoTHl of Ward McAllister
from the Alaska District Court.
Wasiiimiton, May 25. The su
preme court to-day rendered an
opinion through Justice Harlan in
the case ot Want McAllis'er
igainst the I'nited States. McAl
lister was removed from oflice as
judge of the district court in
Alaska by President Cleveland,
and claimed his salary from the
time he was removed to the quali
fication of Dawson, who was con
tinued as his successor. The
court holds that the Alaska court
is not a court of the United States
as set forth in third article of the
constitution, but a territorial
court.
The court said the decision in
the present case gave the presi
dent complete power over terri
torial officers. Judgment is there
fore given in favor of the I'nited
States. Justices Field, Gray and
Ilrown dissented in the opinion.
The case of Wingard, justice of
the Washington territory court,

They are that the Halcyon is lving
at l.arclay ountl, 15. ij., where
she has been for the past two
months. "The Halcyon has
dropped most of her opium now,"
suid the federal officer. "The
Annie Halev took a good deal of it
into the Sandwich islands, and
the rest ol it has already been
smuggled along the Pacific coast.
It was transferred from the Hal
cyon to a small steamer, which in
turn carried it to a lumber schoon
er in Puget sound. The Halcyon
has 100,000 pounds of opium on
board. The duty is $12 a pound.
One million two hundred thousand
dollars is the profit accruing to
the opium ring on this transac
tion."

A Million and a Half Acre to be

Scokank Falls. May 25. The
commissioners appointed by the
preeulenct in accordance with tbe
act of congress to negotiate with
the various tribes of Indians now
occupying the Colville reservation,
have returned here after a month's
negotiations. An agreement was
reached with the Indians, by
which one million live hundred
thousand acres, or a tritle more
than one half of the reservation
are to tie soul to tbe government
for one dollar kt acre and thrown
open to settlement. At first there
was som.1 opposition am ng the
IndiaiiH, but finally Antoine,
chief of the Okanogans, signed and
their chiefs Mo-.es and Joseph
soon followed. The Sanpuelle
were bitterly opposed to tli3 sale
and not one of them signed. Al
together 500 adult males and
females signed, which is 200 more
than the required majority. Un

afe mowing at Stayton.
At about 2 o'clock Saturday
morning robbers blew the door off
of the safe of Whitney, F.lder &
Co., general merchants at Stayton.
Sir Whitney heard the first shot,
but did not know from what direc
tion it came. The second shot
brought him into the street. A.
D. Gardner, ex-postmaster, was
also around, and took three shots
at the robbers. There were two
of them. Both Mr. Whitney and
Mr. Gardener saw the safe blowers.
There were two of them, one a tall
man and the other rather chunky.
They secured from $150 to $200 in
cash and several thousand dollars
worth of valuable pajiers. Some
$ 100 in cash in the safe they did
not touch. It is supposed that
they heard Mr. Gradner after
ttiem, and hurried away before
they finished their job. The linn
had taken about $500 Ait of the
safe a few days before, having
heard of the several robberies
througout the country and became
afraid to leave so much mo-;ey in

Their Partly I sternal Affairs, In
cluding the Traffic n Liqaer-
Washington, May 25. The
United States supreme court to'
day upheld the constitutbnality of
me original package law passed by
congress, and also held that it was
not necessary for congress to reen
act its prohibitory law after
the passage of the con
gress onal act in order to shut out
liquor in oriniual packages.
The case came up on an appeal
of Wilkinson, sheriff, against
Kohrer, ttie lower court having de
cided againt the state. This court
reverses the decision of the lower
court. Ch:ef Justice Fuller ren
dered tiie decision, the entire court
being with him. Justice Grav
announced, however, that. Justice
Harlan Brewer and him
self assented in the de
cision, hut did not concur
in all the reasoning of the opinion
of the court, liohrer was original
package agent at Topeka of a
Kansas City liquor lmn. and was
arrested the day after the original
package law went into etlect. lie
claimed the law was unconstitu
tional, and also that it could not
go into operation until the state
re-enacted its prohibitory laws.
The circuit court decided against
the state, and the case was
brought on an appeal.
iiie Mipreme court savs the
power of the state to imiiose res
traints and bin dens upon persons
and property in the promotion of
public health, good order and
prospentv, is a power always be'
longing to the state; the power of
congress to regulate commerce
among the several states when the
subjects are national in their
oature is also exclusive, but it was
left free by the constitution, except
as congress might undertake to
regulate it. Intoxicating liquors
are undoubtedly subjects of com
uierce, like any other commodity,
but nevertheless it has often been
held that laws prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of liquor
w ltinn th 3 state does not necess
arily infringe upon any conbtitu-
t:onal piivilege or immunity. This
right rests upon the acknowledged
right of the states to control their
p;:iely internal affairs.
THE I'MJAl'l'Y MOKMON9.
Their Escheated Properly to Be
Devolved to Charitable I'ses.
Washington, May 25. When
the supreme court last term upheld
the constitutionality of the Ed
munds law, by which the property
of the late corporation of the
church of Jesus Christ, of Latter
Day Saints, otherwise known as
the Mormon church, was escheated
to the United States, it found itself
in a somewhat embarrassing posi
tion. The doctrine of escheat was
quite unknown in this country,
and no'purpose considered laud
able and proper, of a similar
nature to that for which the prop
erty was formerly used, was known
tor which the property could be
devoted. The court, therefore,
instead of sending the decree
down, withheld it, a strong
intimation beinu conveyed of
the desire of the court
that congress should by
law, direct the disposition to
be made of the property. Con
gress having failed to adopt the
suggestion, the court to day made
a final order in the case and mod
ified in some respects the decree
which it entered at the last term.
The decree eays the personal
property, having developed to the
United States, should be devoted
to such charitable use, lawful in
character aa may most nearly cor
respond to its former destiny, un
less in tbe meantime congress fchall
otherwise direct.

New York. Mav 25. A mwcial

the oft-postponed prize fight be
tween Dick Burge, of Newcastle,
and Jem Carney, of Birmingham
for $1000 and the bVht.-.it,

ciuea io uay. rue battle was
fought in the Hop Malt Exchange
boxing room. Carney had the
best ol the fighting from the start,
and punished Burge terribly.
After the men had fom?ht Piuht
rounds it was anv otitis that th
champion would win. In the ninth
round Carney fought the New
castle man to a standstill. In the
tenth round Burge showed great
pluck and made a game eiiort to
turn the table, but Caruev lande
his left heavily on Burge's neck
and fought him to the rope. In
the eleventh round Carney
knocked Burge down by a tremen
dons blow on the left ear
Burge's seconds, on seeing their
man defeated, shouted "foul," and
to the surprise of all present, the
referee awarded the tight to
Burge. Intense indignation was
expressed at the decision. Carney
cried like a child at the injustice
done him. The men fought with
two-ounce gloves. Both pugilists
were terribly punished, esiecially

Hard on The Proof Reader.
There is likely to be a great
scarcity of proof-readers in tier
many, since the announcement
that one has been held responsible
and sent to jail for an article which
appeared in the paper on which
he was employed. The article was
libelous and the editor was ar
rested, convicted and sent to
piison. But outraged justice was
apparently not satisfied with a
single victim ; the typesetter was
not to be found, and the foreman
who placed the article letween the
column rules was dead, so the
legal ligntuings fell uihmi the poor
proof-reader. He at the trial had
admitted having read the article
and to having made in it sliuht
alterations to the extent of turn
ing threes Ms right side uniermost
and having straightened a couple
of the lettere. For these hienous
offenses he is now undergoing four
months imprisonment, wearing a
striped uniform and making
matches.
Delays and Dilatory Work.
The Dalles Times-Mountaineer:
The United States government has
nothing to do with the portage
road at the Cascades except grant
ing ine ngni-oi-way. wrecon wi II
construct the road, and can either
do it by the locks method or the
contract system. The government
officials have never been consulted
nor never will be, regarding the
plan to be adopted in build in? th
state railroad at the Cascades.
The assertion that "government
officials" have said that the state
of Oregon cannot do its work by
cojtract or otherwise is so sillv
acd ridiculous that it requires no
reiuiaiion. uelavs and di atorv
work at the locks have made the
people almost ananimnun in favor
of all public improvements being
made in the cheapest and most
economical manner, and that is by
the contract system.
