ting Wyoming Territory to select, protect
and lease it's school and university lands,

amendments.
In the discussion in the House on the

ment that ether Territies be included.

measure a wise one; that he had framed
the bill with great care; that, as amended,
it is strongly endorsed by the land de-
partment; that, while he would be glad to
see it made applicable to the other Terri

A Millionaire Freethinker and Liberal
Thought Writer-Ingersoli's Funeral
Grafton.

New YORK, July 26.-The late home of
Courtlandt Palmer, the wealthy president
of the Nineteenth Century Club, was
crowded almost to suffocation by friends
VINO came to attend his funeral services.
The Nineteenth Century Club, of which
Palmer was the founder as well as presi-
dent, was largely represented, and many
of the most distinguished. men Of the
country were present.
The remains of the deceased advocate of
free thought reposed naturally in rose
wood casket, which was laden with flowers.
Colonel Robert G. IngersoIl, who was to de-
liver the address, took a position on the
stairs, and in calm, tender tone of voice,
said:
"My friends: A thinker of pure thought,
speaker of brave words, and doer of
generous deeds has reached the silent
heaven, that all the dead have reached, and
where the ,oyage OF every life must end;
and we as friends who even now are has
tening after him. are met to do the last
kind acts that man can do for man; to tell
his virtues, and to lay with tenderness and
tears his ashes in the secret place OF rest
and peace. Some one has said that in the
open hands of death, we find only what
they gave away. Let us believe that pure
thoughts, brave words and generous deeds
can never die. Let us believe that they
bear fruit and add forever to the wellbelng
of the human race; that self-denying life
increases the moral wealth of men, and
gives assurance that the future will be bet
ter than the past.
"a free and independent man, one who
demanded reasons and demanded freedom,
and gave what he demanded, one who re-
fused to be a slave or master, such d man
was Courtlandt Palmer"
Col. Ingersoll finished by reciting one OF
Mr.. Palmer's poems. Religious services were
read by Mrs. Palmer's pastor, the Rev.
Heber Newton. The cremation and inter-
ment of the ashes will occur at the con-
venience of the family.

MORE CUTTING IN FREIGHr RATES
The Trunk Lines Make New Rates to the
west-One Road Withdrawing.

New YoRK, July 25.-Yesterday was
probably the most disastrous Of the season
in the war on freight rates. The action oi
the Chicago q Alton in making it's rate Of
$1.20 and 75 cents per 100 pounds on dry
goods and cotton piece goods, respectively.
from New York to Missouri River points
via all rail, has created great deal OF
comment. What is perhaps even more
decided evidence OF a prolongation in the
rate war. is tue fact yesterday the tariff
rates to Salt Lake and all other common
Utah points were declined by all the roads
These roads formerly stood for Missouri
points on first class 50 SO, second 50, third
class $1.75, fourth $1.5O, fifth $1.30, sixth
$1.15, A 81, B 9Oc., C SOC. D roc. Their
rates were suddenly without waring reduced
as follows: First-class $2.06, second 81 80,
third $1.56, fourth $1.30, fifth $1.15,
sixth $1.05, A &C., B Sec G 72c. D 62c.
This is the first time during the present
freight rate war that rates have been affect
ed further west than the Missouri River,
except to Colorado points, but it is evil
dent that the reduction in Utah rates is
made in direct connection with the rates of
cutting lines to Missouri River points from
this city and Chicago. This is regarded as
tho forerunner OF q reduction in transcon-
tinental rates to California and Oregon
points. There has been no apparent effect
thus far on the part Of any line to restore
rates except to Colorado points.

OUR MINERAL WEALTH.
THE WONDERFUL PRODUCTION IN
THE UNITED STATES IN Iss7.

The Total Value of the Production Over
Five Hundred Millions of DoIlars-The
Increase Over the Previous Year-Con-
gressiona1 and Other News from
Washington.
WAsHIEGToN, July 26.-David 7. Day,
chief of the division OF mining and statis-
5ics, has submitted summary of the
mineral products OF the United States in
1887, in advance OF the official report.
The total value is $53S, ,056, ,345. It
shows wonderful gain over 1886, and is
100000, 900 greater than the output of
1885. The United States leads the world
in the production of minerals. The priR-
eipal gains in 1885 were in the production
OF metallic ores and fuels necessary for.
melting tlela. Tue production OF pig iron
alone increased more than see, ,o00, 900.
The high prices of copper caused a nota lie
expansion in that industry. The product
OF coal is the largest ever recorded.
Trken as whole, the report shows great
for the mining industry.
grand total value of more than half
billion dollars, the report SAYS, resulted
not only from the increase in the quantity
of the minerals mined, but also from the
general advance in prices of t.,etais. 1t
may be several years before this total is
exceeded, and the year 1888 will fall con-
below it.
