Chief Clerk Supt. Pub. Inst. F.
w. Cathro has issued officially an
obituary notice recounting the life.
character and services of the late
VIM. Mitchell, State Superintendent
Of T ublic instruction. The State of
NORTH Dakota has sustained a loss by
the demise of MI. Mitchell, which il
is not probable can readily be compen-
stated fer.
1t is not to be denied that, as MI.
Cathro has ,astefnlly and truthfully
expressed it
'.for the high cf6ce he recently held in our
new State he possessed q rare combination
Of qualifications. His extensive learning
commanded respect from all with whom he
had come in contact. while his good nature,
sociality and ready. wit drew many within the
pale Of friendship"
In extolline MI. Mitchelps loyalty
and patriotism, Mr.. Cathro, however,
has committed a historical error.
which emanating from n of his
knowledge, is inexcusable, for lie
should have known that the call for
troops, t, which the departed hero 30
heartily responded, was not made
s:for the cause of freedom"-unless
we have read Our history wrong, it
was for the pre- servation of the Union.
The cause of freedom was duly iu-
scribed in the pages Of American
history on the 4th day Of July f776,
III that mem<r able declaration of IN
dependence.

xmD0reonC Land DECISION.
Secretary Noble. Of the Interior Dept. has
rendered . final decision IN the celebrated
Tregent case, reversing the decision Of the
Commr. of the Gen. Land Office and deciding
against Tregent. His principal reason for
70 deciding is that Their, is no evidence to
show that Tregent is n citizen Of the United
States. We quote from the Minneapolis
Tribune:
Outside of this. the secretary says te can
not concur in the land Office decision as to
II Q gu stions of fact involving the bona ide
right Of claimant. He failed TO establish
and maintain . residence according to lsw,
and il not appearing that he is a citizen, he
is not q qualifi cd pre-emptor without declar-
ing his intention Of becoming q citizen of the

To Build Limo of Railroad to the Oknna-
gOn District.
SPOKANE FALLS, June 6.-[Special. Tho
Okanagon Mining and Railroad company
has been incorporated in this city with a
capital of 5000, 900. The corporation's OBJ
ject is to secure railroad connection with
this vast mining region, to build wagon
roads through the district, to build town
to be known as OkanaRon City, and to
generally develop mines. With the excep-
tion Of Colonel w. Thomas Hart, who
represents the largest and wealthiest min
ing syndicate in the United States, the gen.
tlemen who incorporated the company are
all of Spokane Falls. The company is the
outgrowth of six months work on the part
of Samuel I. Silverman, who sold the
Fourth of July mine to Helena parties.
Extensive reduction works are to be con-
structed just above the town on C bench Of
mountain in which most of the mines are
located. Spokane Falls gentlemen who
have gone into the enterprise
have done SO with the expecta-
ton of making their developments
entirely in harmony with the best interests
of Spokane Falls and add another source of
trade to this city. One of their principle
objects will be to secure railroad connec-
tion with this city rs soon as possible. At
the present time there are two railroads
centering in this district, the Spokane Falls
d Northern and the Washington Central. :.

VANDERBILT HAS ANOTHER.

The Missouri Pacific Completes His Trans
continental Line.
OMAHA, June H. Special IA dispatch
from Chicago says: It is practically certain
that after the next annual meeting of the
Union Pacific the Vanderbilts will be in
control and that President Hughitt, of the
Northwestern, will be president of the en-
tire Union Pacifc-Northwestern system.
Little by little enough facts have leaked out
to demonstrate this. The contract between
the Union Pacific and the Northwestern
was contract by Vanderbilt with q
Vanderbilt and has been simply test which
has proved that the two systems
can be more economically operated
MS one. None of the Northwestern officials
will talk for publication on the subject but
it is manifested they all know the change
which is coming. A remark made by one
of them to-day, that competing roads could
not object to their contract with the Union
Pacific if it covered the operations of but
one line, showed that the Vanderbilts have
already completed a true transcontinental
line, reaching from New York to San Fran
cisco, and including the New York Central,
Lake Shore, Michigan Central, Northwest
ern system, Union Pacific and the leased
lines of the Southern Pacific to San Fran

LONDON. June 1.-THE Telegraph con-
tains report of an interview with Bis
marck. Nobody, he said, is more earnest
for peace than Emperor William, who,
bent upon internal reforms, had no idea of
aggression. Asked whether it was possible
to extinguish French grievances by resto-
ration of their provinces, he said that the
French declared restoration utterly impos-
sible and that it must be left to time to re-
move their resentment. Relations with
Russia, he said, were equally good and she
certainly would not attack Germany. The
czar is averse to conquest and dislikes phys
ical exertion. A point that is not without
Importance to the peace of Europe, the
triple alliance, Bismark said, was certain to
endure. Only the most unforeseen acci
dent could disturb European peace. He
thought it impossible that England and Ger
many should go to war. II they did quar-
rel it might lead to y continental conflict,
even If England nhstained from fighting.
This, however.was wildly improbable con-
tingency Of the African dispute, said Ris-
marok.. It is a trifinR metter, and he be-
lieved Lord Salisbnry's temperate words
are more to EnglandsR taste than Stanley
fierce ones. In conclusion, Bismarck spoke
in the HIGHEST praise of the late Emperor
Frederick, saying had he lived he would
have astonished the world by the vigor OF
his personality and rule.

The Columbus Street Car Lines Unable to
Run Cars.
COLUMBUS, June 1.-THE Consolidated
Street Railway made another attempt to
start cars this morning. The cars had pro.
ceeded but few squares. where a thou
sand persons had gathered, and were blocked
with stones and rubbish. The women took
a hand in stopping the cars. The mayor
was present, and ordered two citizens away
who were blocking the tracks. The situa-
tion was threatening, but no one was in
jured. The employees at some of the lead
ing manufactures closed down and turned
out as soon as they learned that cars were
to be started, their object being to aid the
strikers. The mayor is going to call a meet
ing of citizens to consider the situation.
The company insist on protection from the
police, and the mayor claims that the po-
lice force is inadequate to the task. II a
compromise is not reached the mayor states
that he will ask for militia if a demand is
made by the street railroad company.

tana-Stupendous Deals Effecting
Two Transcontinental Lines. s4

NEW YonK, June 11.-[Special.] IA dele
cation of prominent citizens of Montana
arrived at the Fifth Avenue hotel this even
ing for the purpose of arranging to have .
branch road built from the Northern Pa
cific railway to Csatle mountain, The emen1-
bers of the delegation are: D. A. Cory,
president of the Chamber of Commerce of
Helena: A. NJ. Hotter, president of the
Board of Trade; A. ]. SeliRman, son OF
Jesse Seligman, the New York banker;
Henry n. Blake, DR.. Cole and Ex-Governor
Samuel L. Hauser:. These gentlemen
were selected by the citizens of Helena
to come and negotiate with Henry Willard
and have the road built as soon as possible.
They called upon Mr.. Willard and Mr..
Cakes to-day to see if they will meet them
half way in their efforts to tap rich min
ing region. The railroad people took the
matter under consideration.
Ex-Gov. Hauser explained the situation.
He said: The citizens of Helena have al
ready subscribed $500, 1000 to build the road,
and the Northern Pacific railway has
already ordered a survey of the route to
Castle mountain. It is just seventy miles
from the Northern Pacific railway to Castle
mountain, and when the road is completed
it will be the most important feeder in the
state. There are some nine feeders ol
branch roads from the Northern Pacific
railway in Montana, and none of them will
increase freight as much as the contem-
plated branch to Castle mountain. The
latter is another Leadville of the west, and
is rich in carbonate of lead and silver ore.
It costs SIS a ton now to freight it out BY
wagon, and when the road is built it can be
done for $3.50 a ton. The saving in freight
alone will be millions per annum.
