HABEAS CORPUS WAS DENIED I)ecisson Read By Justice Brewer Was Unanimous -All Conten Mods of Governmet Sustained. Associated Press. Washington, May 27. (Special to the As torlan.) The United States supreme court today denied the application Of (Eugene V. Debs, the strike leader, for a writ of habeas corpus. This 1b a victory for the government. The court was unanimous in the opinion. Debs tried to secure a reversal of sen' tence to Jail by Judge Woods for Inter fering with Interstate commerce and ruln lng the malls In the great railway strike last summer. 1 The decision of the court was read by Justice Brewer, and was unanimous, there being no dissenting opinion. All the contentions of the government were sustained. The conclusions or the court were that the government of the United States was supreme, having jurisdiction over every foot of soil and over every individual within U boundaries of the United States, and that while It was one of limited powers, It had a sovereignty within these limitations. It has power to invoke civil courts to remove cbstruc tions to interstate commerce, and civil courts had a right to enjoin those who made obstructions to such commerce. The Injunction was no bar to criminal pro cesses for acts done In violation of the Injunction of the circuit having final jurisdiction, ant its act was not reviewa ble by the Bupreme court on a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, and therefore the writ was denied. In conclusion the court says: The en tire strength of the nation may be used to enforce In any part of the land the full and free exercise of all national pow ers and security of all rights entrusted by the constitution to its care. The strong administration of the nation may be put forth to brush aw-ay all .Jjatrue tions to freedom of Interstate commerce or transportation of the malls. " If the emergency arises the army of the nation and all Its militia are at the service- of the nation to compel obedience to the laws. In the case before us thn right to usa force does not exclude the right of ap peal to the courts for Judicial determine, tlon, and for the exercise of all their powers of prevention. Indeed, It Is more to tho praise than to the blame of the government, that Instead of determining for Itself the question of right and wrong on the part of these petitioners and their associates, and inferring that extermina tion by tho club of the policeman and the bayonet of the soldier, It submitted all these questions to the determination of the Judicial tribunals and invoked their consideration and Judgment as to the measure of its rights and powers and the correlative obligations of those against whom it made complaint. Neither can It be doubted that the government has such Interest In the subject as enables It to appear as party plaintiff In a suit. It Is said that equity only Interferes for the protection of property and 'that the gov ernment has no property Interests. A suf ficient reply Is that the United States have property in the malls, the protection of which was one of the purposes of this trial. AN INDIAN LEGEND. Does It Relate to the Mysterious Span ish Treasure? When I was a little girl, I knew no greater pleasure than that of sitting te- fore the. great open fire place listening to the thrilling stories of an uncle who In his old age had found a welcome home undir my father's roof. Many of the stories related by him have passed from my memory, but there are a few that, perhapsn account of frequent repetition, were so firmly impressed on'my youthful mind that they remain today as vivid, and as of great Interest as ever. One of those In particular, which was the foundation of many a girlish day dream, has lately roused my curiosity as I have been Informed that Its reputed scene Is not far from Astoria, being, I believe, near Clatsop Beach. The story was of Inldan origin, and if I remember correctly, my uncle had It from the lips of an old Clatsop Indian who died many years before the story came to my ears. As told to me it was quite lengthy, but what follows Is little more than an outline: Many, many summers ago, before the whits man had driven the big game from our forests and plains, there lived among the hills to the south of the great river now called the Columbia within sound of the continuous roar of the mighty Pacific. a young Indian brave, whn hwinu nt his strength and agility, as well as his sagacity and fearlessness, had become the pride and hope of his kinsmen.- This Indian had been called SlDah as being a name appropriate to his match less form and becoming demeanor. Blpah had lived alone in a wigwam in narrow gulch, but all the tribe were looking forward with pleasant anticipa tion to the time when Blpah should live by .himself no longer, but would take Into his wigwam Tokeete, the daughter of an Indian chief a young woman whose far-famed beauty and unequalled accom plishments bad won his affections. fiipah bad been very devoted to his be loved Tookeete but as the appointed time for the nuptials drew nigh, for some unknown reason his manner toward her began to change. ? He no longer made fre quent visits to her father's wigwam, and Instead of his free and openhearted do meanor ha had become grave, secretive, and suspicious. Moreover, it was ob served that he remained much at home In the daytime, not hunting and fishing as did the other Indians, while at night he was often absent from his wigwam. where, or for what purpose no one knew, Occasionally he would be absent for sev eral days, always returning at night. uuc tnougn Be neuner trapped nor hunted, yet It was noticed that after go ing to Fort Astoria, which had been es tablished recentlyon the banks of the Columbia, he would return with abundant supplies of greater value that those ob tained by his more industrious kinsmen. It had alsobeen learned that he had been seen by an Indian living near the trading post, bartering with the captain of schooner; and the Informant was positive In his assertion that Blpah had exchanged a piece of white metal for money which he afterward spent at the post. The father of Tokeete now determined tot discover the cause of the mysterious movements and behavior of Slpah, and to accomplish that end, employed several of his trustworthy braves to watch hlra day and night though keeping themselves In hiding. The vigilance of Slpah, how ever, thwarted them and suspecting their intentions, he suddenly burned his wigwam to ashes and removed to a level piece of ground on the east side of the lake which Is now called Culllby, wheri he erected a hut smaller in size but stronger and batter guarded that the one he had previously occupied. And there he lived in seclusion though not un matched, for the spies still endeavored to learn the cause of his strange actions. Their persevefence was at last rewarded. Onetormy night In midwinter the spies had paddled cautiously down the west ern shore of the lake till directly opposite the hut of Blpah, and after watching the place for some time without observing any indication of the presence of any person, ventured across. They proceeded very quietly, fearing the vengeance of Slpah, should they be discovered, but upon Investigation they found that the rude abode was unoccupied. Hastily returning to the protection of the opposite shore, thoy decided to re main there and await developments. Slowly the long hours of the night passed to the wet and shivering watchers, who dared not make a fire and could not have found dry wood had they so desired, but just as the trees on the opposite side of the lake became distinguishable, a word from one of the Indians directed the at tention of the others td a dark object in the middle of the lake approaching from the South. ' ' A moment or two more sufficed to dis close Its nature, and a hasty consultation resulted In a determination to Intercept the canoe and Its occupants. Quickly putting oft from tho shore, they had made but a dozen strokes when they were discovered by the lone padiller, who was forcing ' his canoe forward with almost Incredible rapidity. As soon as he saw the Indians paddling forward to meet him, Slpah, for It was he, understood their intentions and knew that they would be satisfied with nothing short of an explanation of his conduct. Dropping his paddle he seized his rifle and, taking aim at one of the Indians in the other canoe, pulled the trigger. But the rain had so dampened the powder that It would not take fire. Finding thus that his only means of re sistance was gone, he laid down the rifle and sat upright, .looking at his pur suers with an expression of helplessness and resignation mingled with Intense ha tred. But this was only for a moment. As the canoe approached him his counte nance changed, and a look of fierce deter mination ' foretold a triumph for him. The Indians were now so near that they ceased paddling and hailed Slpah, He answered not a word, but rising to his feet, he lifted a heavy Iron box from the bottom of the canoe, Vnd clutching firm ly at the two Iron rings that served for handles, plunged headlong Into the angry waters never more to be seen by men. The superstitions of the Indians pre vented their making any attempt to re cover the body of Slpah or the box which he prized more than his own life, and the deposit of sediment In the bottom of the lake would make It impossible to re. cover them after so many years should any one attempt It, so In all probability 'he contents of the mysterious box will never be known.

Washington, May 27, The rapid Inroads which the fishing and packing companies have made on the supply of salmon in Alaskan rivers has given great concern to the government for several years past, since It became evident that the fish were destined to the same fate of exterml nation which has overtaken the buffalo, and Is being visited on fur bearing seals of Northern waters. All attempt to se cure effective restraining legislation from congress has proven practically without result, but a new phase of the canning byndlcato's operations Is now engaging the attention of the land office which may result In measures that will have the effect of restricting the enterprise of some of the companies engaged In the business. It has recently been ' brought to the attention of Commissioner Lamoreaux, of the land office, that salmon companies are acquiring more land at the mouths of rivers where they are engaged, and prompting strategic points of future com merce. Consequently the commissioner has detailed J. P. Swlnoford, ex-governor of of Alaska, who Is now Inspector of the Interior department, to mak8 Investi gation of the matter ana keep the de partment posted, that It may know (hat all the requirements of the law are com plied with. The cannery companies have asked that surveys be made by thd gov ernment of lands on which they have set tled, with a view of their acquisition. Hwineford will bjI inu.T.3a.til fur Alaska on the 25th. '' In a report to the 63d congerss Fish Commissioner i McDonald said that some or all of the tfollowlng measuses should be adopted for thd protection of tin fish! A weekly close season from Satur day evening until Monday morning, a yearly dose season during September and October, the establishment of salmon reservations, ubsolute prohibition of salm on fishing within 100 yards of the mouth of a river, absolute prohibition of more than one seine In the same seine berth, and the leasing of privileges and limita tions of the catch. No authority Is given to the fish commissioner to enforce tny restrictions measures, this power belong ing entlrley to the treasury department. Dr. Hugh Smith, one of the experts of tho fish commission, believes that, the extinction of the Alaska fish Is inevitable If tho present method continues uncheck ed. Every fish that swims, he says, can be caught at the mouths of the rivers, and as a matter of fact, few salmon now reach the old spawning grounds in the rivers of Alaska. More than half of the salmon pack of the United States and hearly half of the world's supply now comes from Alaska, The fish commission has collected much Information concerning the food fish of Alaska which shows that there are many undeveloped fisheries furnishing great commercial possibilities for the future. the PurcauYTimrAN assembly.

In putting the' mo. tlon the moderator said he had been impressed with the cordiality of the In vitation from Seattle, and that he hoped it an early date the assembly would be able to enjoy the hospitality of that city. The Invitation was extended a year ago, and was renewed for the year 1W. Re duced, fares were promised to all those who should- desire to make the Alaskan trip. LEE MOON SINQ. Washington, May 27.-The United States supreme court today affirmed the consti tutionality of the Oeary Chinese exclu sion act, in the case of Lee Moon Sing, who left the country and was refused ad mission. Justice Harlan, in the opinion, said the statute Intrusted to the collector the power of passing upon facts. Lem Moon Sing contended he had acquired domicile Highest of all in Leavening Power. 1MM i&iiois ft 1 V. a - ft 1 I f t I f -fsa-- . m A302Jl)TES?J PUCE as a citizen of the United States before the passage of the exclusion act, The Justice said if the .courts were to review the decisions of the collectors In such cases It would bring a great number of cases before the courts and defeat the intention of congress to have tho law enforced by. legislative force. The only remedy , the appellant had was to. appeal to the supreme office of the collector, tha . secretary of the treasury, The court re- .. trained from' expressing an opinion as to the merits of the case, and the Judg ment of the court below denying the . application for a writ was affirmed.

A Correspondent Calls Attention to the - Condition of the Seashore Road.. Rdltor Astorlan; I respectfully but earnestly call the attention of the railroad eommla. slon to the present unsafe and, deplor- , ablo condition of the Be-ashore railroad.. ; That It Is In a miserably dilapidated con dition, one has but to ride over-it to see, and one of these days as likely one day : as another, there will be an appalling ac. cldent that the directors of that line will be compeUea to snoulder. There can be no possible excuse for such neglect, as It Is a well-known, fact that during the . summer time the revenues of the road are enough to keep it In good repair and leave a decent profit. In many places the Iron Is either too light -or too worn la stand the strain It is subjected to, and from the Young's Bay trestle to Seaside, the road bed is so uneven that It Is cer tainly a miracle how a car can stick to the track. In the woods Just south of Sklpanon a number of ties are complete. . ly rotted In two, and as the train passes over that particular part of the road it rocks and pitches like a ship at sea: The cars are In no better condition, and while the; passenger is compelled to pay the full rate of fare, he is sfforded but little better accommodation than are cattle oj hogs shipped East to the slaughtering center Even If the company has no re. gard for the life or limb of passengers, they ought to have a thought of the men wno are compelled to ride on the train In operating It. Such neglect can properly be put down as criminal. CP. .
