Then, if the Spokane case should

second amendment provides for the leas

for grazing purposes for five years and
for mineral purposes for ten years. This
will prove a very good thine, as it will

the petitions and his bill on the subject
in the Senate. He slated he would be
favor of prohibition in Alaska if it
was pracncauie, out tnat liquor is now
sent to that Territory by shiploads and
sold to everybody. He proposed to pass

considered it an unheard-of proposition
to have both sides of a river like that in
different collection districts. He wanted
to vote immediately upon Squire's mo
tion, but it was decided to be out of
order.
There is a great deal of controversy
over the disposition of the Puyallup In
dian reservation. Senator Allen has
been severely criticised on account of the
bill he has introduced, and copies of a
long editorial abusing him very roundly
have been sent to every member of the
House, lhe ettect will be that nothing
will be done in this Congress to settle
the Puyallup Indian affair, and it will
still go on as it is now. a detriment to
Tacoma and of very little use to the In
dians. Senator Allen says he believes
the men who have made contracts with
the Indians and paid them for the lands
should have a right to these lands. The
Secretary of the Interior and the Puyal
lup Commission hold otherwise, and
seem to think the Indians are losing a
great deal in the proposed settlement.
As none of the members of the House
will take the trouble to inform them
selves about the situation at Puyallup,
and when the matter comes np for con
sideration in that body will be -opposed
to anything being done, as they do not
understand the matter, the bill will very

HOW ' HUGH MORRIS ESCAPED.
i.
Th Story of a WUh Hard Who Arouxd
tli Ira of tho llujallut.
.There was an influential "Round
head", callr.( Hujrh Morris, a Welsh
hard, w ho ,sa.tig the praises of Crom
well awl the new born common
wealth, whose chair -a stonaone fix
ed in a wajl is still preswve near a
place called V I'andy, in the Valley
of the CeirioL', 'North Wales. The
name of the farmhouse is Errw Ger "
rig. . Morns', bardic talent got so hot
loinetimes that he wouldgo into the
river, close by. to cooi off. II is poetry, '
of which they are two volume ex
int. roused the men and women tf
Wales to a hih pitch of enthusiasm
in favor of Oliver Cromwell. The
KoyaUsts were anxious to discover
Hugh Moms. A company of military
detectives were cormnisMoneu to ap
prehend him. It was no easy task to
find the farmhouse, Errw Gerrig, at
that time. On the Great Western
railway, the original branch of the
system, from Shrewsbury to Chester,
there is a station at Kuabon, from
which a railway branches off through
the Valley of IJangoHen.
From the same place to the (eft, or
southwest, the Ceiiio? valley begins,
along which there is a tramway. The
tramway starts at a point some dis
tance from the railway, and pas
sengers have to walk from Ruabon
or else Chirk station, a good
way. to get to the tram cars.
The tramway ends at Glyn Ceir
iog. where there are several ra
vines leading to various hamlets. By
following the river Ceiriog, three
miles higher up, Pandy is reached,
where two deep ravines converge, and
Nanthir joines the Ceiriog. By cross
ing the Nanthir rivulet and following
the course of the Ceiriog a little dis
tance Krrw Gerrig, the home of Hugh
Morris, is reached, the road is on the
left bunk of the Geiriog.
Errw Gerrig is surrounded by high
mountains. The high nose of the
Nantyr branch of the Berwyn moun
tains, at the foot of t'dcu Errw Ger-
rig lies, is covered with farms on the'
Ceiriog side; the other slope towards
the Nanthir rivulet being still a wil
derness. It is difficult to find the place
even now. It was a hundredfold more
difficult before there were tram cars or
railways, and especially so more than
two centuries ago. And what added
to all the topographical difficulties
was the fact that the inhabitants in
that part of the country at the time
could not speak English, and when
the soldiers managed to make known
tlu.1 they wanted Hugh Morris of
Errw Gerrig the Welsh folk did not
want to understand.
Ultimately, however, the military
detectives came to Errw Gerrig, and
they asked Hugh Morris himself (who
was at the time attending to the cows)
where Hugh Morris was. Morris
pointed to a field on the mountain side,
signifying that Hugh Morris was there.
Thither the detectives proceeded in all
haste, greatly elated that they had
caught their man at last. But he was
not caught. While they wei-e looking
for him Hugh Morris made his escape.
The "unlucky" detectives had to re
turn to those who sent them without
Hugh Morris.
A second company, reputed wiser
than the first, with one of the former
to guide them to the place, made a
second attempt They found the "cow
man" in a field adjoining the house
aud demanded of him where Hugh
Morris was. It had not dawued on the
first company nor on the second that
the apparently ignorant cowman was
the eloquent Hugh Morris. And,
again, the man made signs to show
that Hugh Morris was on the moun
tain top. Thither a portion of the
company of detectives proceeded But
their superior wisdom over the first
lot consisted in their taking the cow
man with them to show where Hugh
Morris was. He led them to the moun
tain top and called out for "Hugh
Morris" at the top of his voice. While
the soldiers were looking round for
him to respond to the cowman's call,
and make himself visible, the cowman
jumped into a ravine covfered with
briei-s and crept into a safe hiding
place. They then understood that that
was Hugh Morris. Several shots were
fired into thicket, but Morris was not
hurt, and his pursuers were obliged to
give up the chase.
Hugh Morris was never captured,
but from that time forward he was
obliged to keep away from home and
live in various hiding places. Chi

The mention of Buffalo reminds me of
a shocking experience I had in Dresden.'
I had traveled many a weary mile (the
German railways are atrocious!) to see
Raphael's greatest Madonna. Arrived at
the Hotel Victoria now conducted by
the forty thieves of Ali Baba memory
and refreshed by a bountiful supper, I fell
into conversation with the hotel portier,
an imposing individual, splendid in gilt
trappings and side whiskers and meager
English. "You have a beautiful city
here," I suggested, "and I am'told that
it is full of localities and of objects that
delight and instruct alike the student
and the artist To-morrow I shall begin
a careful inspection of these glories, and
as I am a stranger here may I ask you to
suggest what, as an American, I should
first visit?"
"Ach, yah, yah," replied that intelli
gent creature; "I haf der dickets here to
ell already."
"Tickets?" I repeated. "Tickets to
what?"
"To Puffalo Pill's Vild Vest," said he.
