or more years for the courts to pass

Oregon, offered an amendment to the for
feiture bill to-day which was adopted, pro-
viding that the settlers who had gone on

The president to-day appointed Arthur j.
Shaw to be postmaeter at Spokane Falls,
vice Thomas Warren, removed. Mr.. War
ren's removal is the result of numerous
complaints by we'll known Spokane Falls
men. He was appointed less than ten
months ago. In response to complaints the
postmaster-genera sent q special agent of
the department there to investigate. The
report recommends that Mr.. Warren be re-
moved for habitual discourtesy to patrons
and disregard of the postal law and regola-
tions. When the report was made the
head of the department asked Mr.. Wilson
to recommend a successor and Mr.. Shaw's
name was sent in two days ago. and off
came Mr.. Warren's, official head. In re-
sponse to telegram from Gov. Ferry, of
Washington, Representative Wilson to-day
had an interview with Supt. Porter, of the
census bureau, relative to securing state
ment of the population of that state which
the special session of the legislature might
use as basis of reapportionment. The in
terview was satisfactory and the superin-
tendent at once gave orders to rush the
work in Washington SO that population
statement by counties might be completed
by Aug. 10, if possible. Mr.. Porter said he
believed this could be done.

from the European standpoint Moham-
medans of good position take precisely
the opposite view The Calcutta native
papers lately gave a long and graphic
account of the marriages of two young
men, the sons Of a local magnate.

made Of the brides, nor does single
feminine name appear in the lengthy
