government to Gen. Gordon said that it appeared TO

U. S. SUPREME COURT.
Important Decision. Rendered Yesterd

Important Decisions Rendered Yesterday.
WARRINGTON, Nov. "a decision was ren-
dersd by the Supreme Court of the United
States this afternoon in another of the long
series of cases which have arisen out of ths
adoption OF the 14th and 10Th amendments to
the Constitution. The present case, which is
that Of John Elk, plaintiff in error, against
Charles wilkins, is a suit brought by an In
dian against the registrar OF one Of the wards
of the city of Omaha for refusing to register
him as qualified voter therein, and the ques-
tions presented are whether the plaintiff in
error is a citizen OF the United States, and
whether he has been denied any right guaran-
teed him by the 18th amendment to the Feder-
al Constitution. The court holds
First, that an Indian who is born a member of
one Indian tribe within the United States which
still exists and is recognized tribe by the gov
ernment, ana who has voluntarily separated himself
white citizens of a State, but who has not been
naturalized, or taxed, or recognized as a citizen
either by the United States or by State, is not
citizen of the United States within the meaning of
the 1st section of the 14th amendment.
Second. That the plaintiff in error not being a
citizen OF the United States under tho 14th amend
ment, has been deprived of no right secured by the
10th amendment, and cannot maintain this action.
The judgment of the court is affirmed.
Opinion by Justice Gray.
Justice Harlan read dissenting opinion in
behalf of Justice Woods and himself.
A decision was also rendered in the import
ant patent case of Benjamin Butterworth,
Commissioner of Patents, plaintiff in error,
against the United States er rel, Richard NJ.
Hue md others, in error to the Supreme Court
OF the District of Columbia This was g suit
brought for the purpose of obtaining a writ OF
mandamus to compel the com missioner to issue
a patent in accordance with his own decision
Notwithstanding the fact that that decision
had been oVerruled and reversed upon an an
peal by the Secretary Of the Interior. The
question presented here is whether any right
OF appeal exists in patent cases from the dec!-
sion of the Commissioner to the Secretary of
the Interior. This court holds that appeal
docs not lie III petens caSes 70 Jne Secretary OF
the Interior; that the Commissioner of Patents
has the exclusive right to decide for himself
whether or not patent ought to issue, and
the Secretary of the Interior has TO authority
to review such decision. Judgment OF the
Supreme Court OF the District awarding writ
Of msndamus is affirmed.

A skeleton Found ia n euarrv.

BELLAIRE. Ohio, Nov. 3.--A party of hunters
Saturday found skeleton among the rocks of a
stone quarry, West of the town. Various stories
are told to account for the skeleton. One is that
twenty years ago, one Margaret Porter lived at the
home of Jacob Long, two miles from the quarry.
Margaret, not content with her place. came 10
Bellaire, then mere village. She remained here
she started from here and was never heard Of
again. Harrison Porter, the father OF the girl who
is still living, is of the opinion that the bones are
those of his daughter. But the bones are too well
preserved for this theory. Another clue has been
discovered, however, which leads to the belief that
the skeleton is that of Miss Minnie Thomas, one of
the three persons who so mysteriously disappeared
from ClariDgton, Ohio, twenty miles South Of this
city, three months ago. An additional mystery is
added to the affair by finding late last night an
additional human foot in q crevice near by.

ARRESTS TO PREVENT VOT-
ING.


Hundreds of Voters Captured i'm Ohio
Without "A Warrant.
CINcINNATI, Nov. 3.-The indictment of Police
Lieutenants Michael Mallen and John Burke, and
Officers Heating and Cunningham, on evidence
presented before the United States grand jury re-
veals remarkable state of affairs at the Hammond
street police station the night before and the day
of the election here October IA. The charges
against the officers, who all Democrats, are thai
ed qualified voters from exercising the right of suf
frage." From the evidence which caused the in
dictments it appears that there was preconcerted
plan among the Democrats to imprison all the Re-
publican voters they could get during Monday
night and to hold them in custody until after polls
closed at p. m. Tuesday Accordingly Lieutenant
Mullen, who was on duty during October, was sor-
dered on duty Monday night, and under his direc-
ton some 163 colored men were arrested by the
officers under his CONTROL and locked up in the eel
lar of the station house. No charge was placed
against these men, were their names entered on
the slate as is required in of safe keep
ing. Among the number thus captured was Robt
Venable, president of the Eighth Ward colored
Blaine and Logan club.
Before daylight on Tuesday three ''canvassers''
were sent down to the cellar and when it learn
ed that Al Democrats were among those imprisoned
they were at once set at liberty and directed to the
polls. The remaining LIZ, being Republicans were
confined until O'Clock in the evening, when they
were released as irregularly as they had been ar
rested. Mullen is active Democrat here and
owes his position as lieutenant to his Jealous work
in the Democratic cause. Other circumstances at
this station, which is in the district of the city
where most negroes live indicate that it was moth
ing more nor less than a second headquarters for
the Democratic managers during the election.

BUTLER'S LAST SPEECH.
He Denie. Certain Stories Circulated

LOWELL, Mass, Nov. 3.-Gen. Butler de-
livered the last speech of the campaign here
tonight. He spoke from platform at the
Boston & Maine depot to an audience of about
1900. He denied as false from beginning to
end the story that the Peoples party in Massa-
chusetts had put into circulation ballots With
Blaine electors upon them. The Peoples
party will have its own ticket, said the Gen.
eral. Cleveland has no no more chance
of carrying the State than he has
OF going to Heaven IN a chariot of fire.
He referred to the Rev. Mr.. Burchard's re-
mark on Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" !"
and said that Burchard was like all other
clergymen,-a fool in politics. Mr.. Blaine
had found it necessary to apologize for the
remark, and it would be better to be free from
Burchard, and SO would Cleveland from
Beecher. In conclusion General Butler said
he was going for the Democratic party now,
and after Blaine is elected, as he will be, he
should go for the Republican party.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The Times this morning de-
voted its leader to the political contest in America.
The article says:
Although the numbers polled tomorrow will prob
ably exceed those poled at any previous contest,
nevertheless it would not be rash TO say that vast
msjority of Americans regard the issue with indif
ference. Foreigners have still less reasou to feel
keen interest. The campaign has been almost ex-
cluslvely managed by experienced and adroit pro-
fessiona politicians. To them alone the result will
bring exultation disappointment.
The most satisfactory feature OF the whole cam
paign is the failure of all attempts to revive, for
party purposes, sectional jealousies of the North
and South. Mr.. Blaines recent inflammatory
speeches in the West will not really benefit his
cause.
The reticence of the Democrats on the subject of
free trade shows a want of political courage. When
the election is over the tariff will doubtless become
