| main for mining and domestic purposes.

| RADIO and Nevada and the Territories of

tana. and other mineral districts of the
| United States not specially provided for.

removed under the provisions of the Act,
must be known to be strictly of mineral
| character, and that il is not subject to entry
| under the existing laws of the United
States, except for mineral entry. No per-
| son not a citizen or bona fide resident the
| State or Territory, or other mineral district,

| fell or remove timber from mineral lands
| therein. And no person, firm or corpora

Liquor at the Capitol.
| WASHINGTON, August 6th.-Riddleberger
created the most disgraceful and humiliat-
ing scene in the Senate yesterday afternoon
which has been seen there for years. Harris,
| of Tennessee had offered the customary
resolution of thanks to President pro tenn.
| Sherman, which has always been carried
unanimously. But on this occasion Rid
dleberger, who was evidently under the IN
| fuence of liquor, arose and demanded that
a quorum should vote. Hawley, who was
temporarily in the chair, replied that a
quorum was evidently present. Then Rid
dleberger began rambling speech, which
was cut short by Sherman's motion to take
a recess until p. NJ, which was carried.
Speaker Carlisle went up TO the Capitol
bright and early yesterday morning, and
directly after he arrived he ordered the
keeper of the House restaurant not to sell
alcoholic liquor of any kind. Mr.. Carlisle
did not intend that there should be any
repetition Of the scenes of drunkenness at
the Capitol which have occurred at the
close of former sessions.
Pension Commissioner Black to be Asked
to Resign.
WASHINGTON, August 6th.-There is
every prospect that when Congress assem-
bles again the Senate will be called upon
TO confirm another Commissioner of Pen
sions. General Black, who at present
1. l.. Il L.. o..
attend the G.. a. X. encampment and at the
same time secure, if possible, a vindication
of his policy in running the Pension
office. There may be difficulty in securing
that vindication, but what threatens Cen
eral Black more serious trouble is that the
President is about to request his resigna-
tion as Commissioner of Pensions. A per-
sonal friend of General Black, in talking
about the President S contemplated action,
says that General Black is aware of this
| situation, because it was told TO him before
| he left for California. The various orders
| in regard TO the running of the Pension
Department-such as that curtailing the
power of appointment and dismissal
have been only forerunners of this last re-
quest
Trial of Commissioner Squire.
New YORK, August 6th.-The trial of
Commissioner of Public Works Squire is
making tremendous political sensation.
1t now seems that Squire does not intend
to deny having written the infamous letter
to Contractor Flynn, in which be virtually
agreed TO place the latter in control of the
Department of Public Works Squire
| claims he wrote the letter from dictation.
Merely for fun not dreaming lie was to
obtain the Commissionership Just before
his death. Hubert o. Thompson leader OF
the County Democracy, turned the letter
over to Mayor Grace. witness on the
trial to-day swore that Flynn was at
Squire's Office daily, and that the latter
never made an appointment without first
consulting Flynn. 1t was also made known
to-day that Col. Bob Ingersoll had been
retained as Squire's counsel. Nothing else
is talked of around the City Hall and at
political clubs Many politicians assert
that the exposures which will be made be-
fore the trial is ended will rival those of
the Tweed Ring days. Squires hope is in
Governor Hill, who is said to be strong
friend of the tricky Commissioner.
