What 4 White Ghost Wants.

Red Lake Indians All Right.

The labors of the Chippewa commission III
session at the Red Lake Indian reservation
have been crowned with success. as the In
dams have after much yacillation signed the
instrument which cedes to the United States
all their reservation except a comparative
ly small portion. The territory retained
by them is adjacent to Red Lake and much
more than sufficient to provide every man
with and child entitle it with an allotment
Of l6O acres. At the council held Thursday
it appeared that the Indians supposed
the act under which the commits
sioners proceed to be Identical
with the bill introduced in the house of rep.
resentatives by Mr.. Nelson. It was shown,
however, that the original measure had been
many times amended and in fact radically
altered before finally passing congress and
receiving the approval OF the President. 1t
mas also been necessary to give repeated ex-
plantations OF those parts of the act which pro-
vi lie that the income from the money a ccllmu-
lated IN the United States treasury from the
sale of the coded lands would be divided
amongthe Indians occupying REPRESENTATIONS
to be coded. Many alleged grievances Of long
standing were brought to the attention OF
the commissioners in council, especially com
plants ofslum bering operations on tile reser-a
walton and mis-understandings between the
surveyors and the Indians as tie the line OF
reservation. The late sessions were more
largely attended and it was soon dis
covered that the party in favor of ac-.
cepting the terms OF the act were in
the ascendancy, although this did not do
away with the necessity of further explana-
lions and many assurances by the commits
sioners of the tulfilment by the government
OF it's obligations under the deed of cession.
Mr. Rice, with great patience, explained the
provisions of the law. Bishop Marty appeal
ed to the Indians on the ground that it was
plainly their duty to accept the proposals
made by the government, and Col Whiting
warned them that they had better accede to
terms offered before their pine forests were
further destroyed by fire. When Mr.
Rice finally inquired if there were
any more explanation needed. and
thatrif not the signatures would be received,
there was not a dissenting voice, so that the
Indians osthis reservation may be practical
ly unanimous in support of the t and the
cession under it, The chiefs then signed the
deed in order of rank. alter which the others
readily came forward until enough had signed
to insure the success OF the negotiations, the
number of signers being nearly fnot quite
one hundred in excess of the number who as
sented three years ago TO the arrangement
made by the Northwest commission.

Death Of Hon. Edmund Rice.

The death of Hon. Edmund Rice Of st.
Paul which has been mournfully anticipated
for week, occurred on July IL at the sum-
at White Bear lake, Mr.. Rice's dying mo-
ments were peaceful and apparently IN
attended with pain for to the end ne lay in
that state of Inconsistencies which has
characterized his illness since July 3, when he
was brought from Duluth and placed under
cottage. AT no time during tie week of his
fatal illness did he arouse from that con
dition. He sank gradually, and Tuesday
AFTERNOON he was attended for the last by
physician, who declared then that it would
be useless for him to see his patient again.
Mr. Rice died surrounded by his children ex-
ceptlng William Stuart and and Philip who
are living atTacoma Wash, Those present
at the bedside were Mrs. Gen. Sanborn, Mrs.
Boardman Mrs. William Dawson, Jr., Ed
mund Rice, jr.. and Sedgwick Rice. Mr..
Rlce's fatal disease was acute softening of
the brain. This simple announcement will
fill thousands with a deep and sorrowful
sense OF personal bereavement. Perhaps no
other citizen Of St. Paul or of the state was
more widely known in the intimate personal
sense, or counted more friends bound to him
by ties OF personal attachment. He was a
public man more by the distinction Of his
personal qualities than by any public
functions that he filed. Tn the early
days OF the territory or state he held
no conspicuous Office. But he was no
less IN the truest sense one of the founders of
the city and of the commonwealth. His
courtly grace and dignity of manner; his
royal-hearted, open handed generosity and
kindness, his largeness of soul, more than
any remarkable mental endowments made
him a distinguished presence and a distin-
guished man in every circle Of which he
formed a part, and he was a dis
ttinguished man in the early days
long before he had earned any other
title to distinction. Beyond serving one
term as member of the house in the second
territorial legislature and a few terms in the
senate or house in the state legislature he
was never in public life till comparatively
recent period. He was conspicuously asso
ciated with the foundation and development
of the railroad system of the state, and hs
helped to plant the seedlings OF the gigan
! tic system which now 'weaves its
web of ntercommuncation all over the
state. But without being ambitious of off.
cial honors, and rather disposed to shur
them, he was forced by the popular favorin
to official positions for which he did not care
His personal popularity far transcribed tn.
limits Of the political party with which HI
was connected. His local popularity in ST
Paul and in its vicinity was unbounded.

The Oregon Railway and Navigation

New YORK, Special Telegram, July 12.-
Elijah Smith, recently president of the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation company, has
not yet returned from the Pacific coast.
The stockholders received circular letter
from him to-day dated at Portland June %
In it he explains the results of the recent an
nual meeting of the company, and among
other things says: sThe desirable results Of
the elections may be enumerated as follows:
Four Portland members of the old board
whose loyalty to the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company is unquestioned
have been reelected, and provision has
been made for the substitution at the
East of two representatives of the
lndivid uai stockholders. Progress has also
been made toward transferring the 12O. Ou0
shares OF the stock of your company out of
the treasury of the Oregon & Transconti-
mental company, where it has always been a
menace 10 the best interests of the Oregon
Railway ana Navigation company. Agree
ments. having for their object the LEGITIMATE
extension of the companv's lines and the
eventual consolidation of those extensions
into It's system, have been entered into and
will. presume, be carried out. The manner
in which You have resisted the efforts of
Northern Pacific Interests. to control your
company leaves roUhing to be desired so far
as zeal is concerned"

was a short paper being read on Fish
Scales. and a number Of them were
mounted for microscopical eXamina-

gain Jacks attention, therefore a bet

this now; but there were a couple of
microscopes present, and Jack deter.
mined To have a good look through
them The scales of different sorts of
British fishes were ON view. OF course,
fish scales are common enough; but
who would think that each kind has
its own pattern of scale, and that you
could tell a species Of fish by its
scalesi
The paper showed hat the scales Of
fishes were composed of the same ma
terial. chitine, as the feathers of birds,
or the hair and nails of animals-a
kind Of substance only foun3 in the
animal kingdom, and never in the
vegetable; that these scales are devel.
oped in little pockets in the fsh's skin,
which you a plainly see for your
self when a herring is scaled. They
are arranged all over the fsh's body
like the tiles covering a roof, partly
overlapping each other, Us is seen by
one part Of the scale being often diff.
ferent from the other.
Jack looked through the microscope
and was delighted. He was always a
reverent minded boy, and the sight
broke on his mind like q new revela

Sir Thomas Gladstone usually at
tended the service at Westminster
Abbey on Sunday afternoon when he
was in town, and he vas invariably
mobbed when walking up and down
the nave afterward by people who
mistook him for his younger brother,
whom he greatly resembled, but Sir
Thomas was taller and more stately in
appearance. Sir Thomas lived and
died a Tory of the old Eldon type, and
his consistency and the plainness with
which he avowed his opinions made
him respected even by his most bitter
political opponents. He went TO Ok
ford in 1853 and voted against his bro
ther when hat statesman was opposed
by Mr.. Perceval, after he had joined
Lord Aberdeen's administration, and
he invariably inveighed against Mr..
Gladstone's policy whenever he made
a political speech, but personally they
were on the most cordial terms.
They also differed in their church
views. for Sir Thomas, who was a
most devout man, favored the evan
gelical side. Sir Thomas Gladstone's
place in Kincardineshire, Basque
house, is a splendid mansion, and the
extensive demesne is well wooded and
very picturesque. The home farm is
q Of the finest in Scotland. Sir
Thomas inherited the estates of Basque
and Balbegno. which extend to q, 900
acres, from his father; and in 1856 he
purchased Strachan and Glendye from
Lord Southesk for go 00. This es-
tate which extends to &c, 900 acres of
low round, hill pastures, and grouse
moors. is one of the best shootings in
Scotland. Sir Thomas was a most
rigorous game preserver for many
years, but latterly his tenants had no
cause TO complain in this or any other
respect, and he was a most popular
laird. and took a deep and intelligent
interest in all agricultural affairs.
Sir Thomas Gladstone was for some
years attache to the British embassy
in Paris, under Lord Stuart dc Roth
say, during the reign Of Charles y,
and he had many good stories to re
late about the curious customs of the
old Bourbon court. He sat in the
house of commons from 1880 TO 1887,
and in 1866 he stood for kincardine-
shire, but was defeat by the late
Mr.. Dyce Nicol of b lloge, who was
the first Liberal ever returned from
that county, as the late Sir Hugh Ar
buthnot had then represented it as a
Conservative for tlirty-nine years,
during which periot he was only once
