PRE-EMPTION LAWS.
They Arc Not Repealed by the Ad-
mission Act.

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 16.-The facts
sent out over the wires from Bismarck
in relation to the pre-emption law seem
to be without foundation. The admis-
sion act does not repeal the pre-emption
laws entirely but makes provisions only
for the safe keeping of school lands. 1t
is only in relation to the 18th and Both
sections in each township that the pre-
emption, homestead and other land
laws were made imperative by the en-
abling act of congress, and this provision
was made to apply to ,hase school lands
as well before as after the survey.
1t was to protect these school lands
from the consequences of the govern
ment's dilatoriness in making the sur
veys, 1t is well known that many of
the best of our school lands have been
lost already through this neglect while
the compensation is wholly inadequate,

Quietly during the summer prospect

surrounding Hayden lake, and now
some good. prospects have been struck
which will without doubt cause stam-
pede to the lake region in the early
spring, or perhaps this winter.
Several ofthe Rathdrum business men
arc interested in these prospects, notably
u. Marshall, Louis Eilert and Fred
Bradbury. James Carroll of Cceuf
d. Alene has well-developed claim. and
Zach Lewis has sold one Of his claims
for q fair amount, considering the little
work that hss been done on It, 10 u.

Granite creek rock, and there has ALSO

quartz carrying copper and silver--keav-

TO look up these claims and make .
general examination of all the defined
ledgss they can reach, Messrs. MarshalI
Eilert and Bryant accompanied the
original discoverers to the camp on
Thursday. and expect to be absent in

To Take Out . Rusty Screw.

The hinge of the woodhouse door
was broken, and Farmer John, who
never liked to see things 80 to pieces,
went to work to replace the broken

THE PRE-EMPTION LAW
Register Adams Says Settlers
Need Not Be in the Least
Alarmed.
If the Law Has Been Unintention-

Provide Relief.

Mr.. j. Nj. Adams, register of the
United States land office in this
city, who has been i'm the land de-
partment for many years, and who
was for long time in the Office of
the commissioner ut Washington,
was asked by a REVIEW reporter
what he thought of the dispatch
published in yesterdays REVIEW
from Bismarck, n. d., relating to
the point having been raised that
the prc-cmption law had been re-
pealed by the admission of the new
states.
al have not yet had time to look
up the law on the subject" said Mr..
Adams, "but | am of the opinion
that the point raised does not
amount to anything. If, however,
it should turn out that the pre-enip-
ton law has thus been unintention-
ally repealed, the matter will ut
once he remedied by congress upon
recommendation which will at
once be made from the general land
office; and again, if such construc-
ton should he PLACED. upon the mat
ter, 1t would in nowise he permitted
to apply to pre-emptions already
made. People who have filed upon
land i'm good faith aud made the
improvements required by law have
by so doing entered into contract
with the government, and a repeal
of the law can not possibly effect the
legality of this contract. The effect
I'm this case would be the same ns If
congress should repeal the pre-emp-
ton law, in which case provision
would of course be made for the pro-
lection of the rights of those already
in possession of their claims. There
need he no anxiety on the part of
pre-emptors on account of the dis
match "

BISHOPS DEATH DUE TO COMA.
The coroner's Jury Exonerates the Three
Physicians.


Physicians.
New YORK, May 30-The hearing OF testl-
mony relative to Mind Reader Bishops death
5as been concluded. A verdict practically
generating the accused doctors was re
turned, and clause Of the verdict seemed to
consider that this course was not altogether
lustiiiable. The court room was densely
crowded with spectators.
DR.. spitzka, the insanity expert, was pla@t6
on the stand. His examination gave rise 30
several legal wrangles between counsel, but
the doctor managed TO make himself pretty
clearly understood, nevertheless He testified
that he was an expert in epieptic and cata-
leptic diseases. He had known but few cases
OF hystero- catalepsy in this country There
was one case Of cataleptic insanity which he
recalled where the patient had remained d
rigid for month. He would have made sew
eral tests before indulging in an autopsy in
such case as Bishops
DR. Allan McLane Hamilton was then ex-
amined. he described the various forms OF
catalepsy, and expressed his belief that in the
present ease he would have performed the
autopsy Immediately after death.
DR.. Edward Lee testified that on the morn
ing Of bishops death he was consulted by
Bishop was in a state Of coma, and it was
impossible TO resuscitate him. Witness told
Dr. Irwin there did not appear to be any
necessity for an autopsy.
DIR. Irwin was recalled and said he had
made the autopsy in order to determine the
minute causes Of death. He felt that the
value Of an autopsy in the case rested on its
being made as soon after death as possible.
Coroner Levy then gave tho law in the
case to the jury. They returned TO the court
and handed in this verdict:
We, the jury in the case of Washington
Irving Bishop, find.
First-That he died at the Lambs club on
May 10, 1883
Second-Cause of death was coma
Third-We fu rther find that while Drs
Irwin, Ferguson and Hance acted in goo,
faith in performing the autopsy upon tn
body Of deceased, we would state that DIR
Irwin, through overzealousness, acted il
some haste respecting the direction Of th'
performance Of the autopsy.
The verdict was a surprise to those whl
had followed the case closely. Coroner Low,

CHICAGO May 3O.--Another day has come
and gone and the police seem no nearer to
the real murderers Of DIR. Cronin than they
were last night. II is equally certain
that valuable time is being given to those
persons, whoever they may be, to either
make good their escape or patch up alibis
that will battle justice in the end
The police and the friends OF Cronin seens
to hc at Grass purposes, each trying to get
at the result desired through different chan
nels, and each side claiming that its own
particular line Of inquiry is the only one 10
follow
Frank Scanlan positively identified VIII
ard J. Smith, Of Michigan, as the man who
called for DR.. Cronin with the wagon on the
fatal night. Scanlan was the last one of tina
victims friends to see him alive
On the other hand, Smith visited Chief
Hubbard and was taken TO the Jail, where
Detective Coughlin was asked If he was this
man referred TO who hired the white horsa
and buggy. Coughlin declared he was NOT
the man.
Chief Hubbard Satisfied.
Chief Hubbard was apparently satisfied
with this, and Smith was informed thai this
police did not want him. He left the jail in
company Of his friends
That an important man In the case is be-
hind the bars in the person Of the iceman
Sullivan, there can be little doubt The
testimony of the Carlsons, IL corroborated,
duplicates him as one Of the principals in the
plot
The grand jury spent the day investigating
the case, while the coroneris jury postponed
fur ther action until Monday.
Woodruff the police think, will prove an
important man before they are through with
him, while they hold Coughlin principally
because he cannot account for his where
abouts on the night Of the murder This
leads to the suspicion that he knows more
than he has yet told.
Waiting for Something to Turn Up.
The police claim 10 have numbers Of people
under surveillance, but they seem 70 be wait
ing for something 70 turn up or somebody
make confession which may unravel the
mystery.

NIAGARA FALLS Ont, May 80 The heavy
frost caused sad havoc among fruit orchards
and vegetable gardens in this vicinity. In the
early part Of the night the thermometer com
menced falling until about 10 o'clock, when
the farmers built fires in their vineyards tc
save their grapes. Ice formed a quarter Of
an inch thick. Vegetation being three weeks
in advance Of last year, everything suffered
terribly. The grape crop is almost total
loss and Strawberries, raspberries and cur
rants are almost as bad. Early potatoes are
entirely killed The damage in Stamford
township, known as the Garden Of Ontario,
will reach thousands of dollars.
