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, was decided the same wav. Deed of a Crazy Mother. Harlan, la., May 25.

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." LAND I OK INDIANS. A Million and a Half Acre to be Opened to Settlement. 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 der treaty every man woman and child has a right to select 80 acres in severalty. 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 a poor safe.

QtEStlON OK .STATE RIGHTS, Tbs Ststfi Hat tbe Power U Ooitrol 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.

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.

Leonard, a variety clog dancer, was stabbed in the shoul der and abdomen eight times Leonard is at the Providence bos pital, and is not expected to live His assailant is not known, and the wounded man is not in a con dition to tell who stabbed him. Leonard was about town al! night last night with'I)ock"Fonl,a vari ety performer, and a man named Gilmore, a theater roustabout. This morning thev went into room No. 4S, of the Elliott, a resort for sporting men and fallen women. About ti o'clock this morning the room was broken open.

He played at the People s theater here, and also played in Portland. It is raid that he canceled a date with Cordray's manager a few days since. 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.
