BurTK, Feb. 9.-[Special. 1.-The Davis

March 16. The writ OF mandamus and pro-
hsbition, requiring Judge McHatton con-
tinue the Davis case until he had appointed

jurors and had announced that no more
business would be done until the 6rder had
been complied with. The grand jury had
but commenced the consideration of a num-
ber OF cases. one OF them being for murder.
and were cut off in the midst OF their use-
fulness. After accepting service upon the
supreme court papers Judge Mediation is
sued formal order continuing the Davis
case with other busin ,ss until March 16.
The foreign witnesses in this case have re-
turned home and the lawyers and experts
are following by every train. A final CON
sultation was held to-day and it is thought
the last of them will be gone tomorrow.

MILLIONS OF FEET.
Depredations by Timber Thieves Amou
to Very Large rigurea

DepredatiOns by Timber Thieves Amount
to Very Large Figures
ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 9.-The special
agents of the general land Office, appointed
in June last by Secretary Noble to investi-
gate alleged large timber dcprsdations in
the Rainy lake and Rainy river country, in
Northern Minnesota, by both Canadian and
American parties state in their report that
such definite information of large depre da-
tions has been obtained as will enable the
government to sustain actions of law
against the trespassers. The yearly average
Of logs passing through the Rainy river is
said to be between Al, 0OO, 600 and $4,000, 900
feet. OF this amount about four. ffths came
from the United States and the remainder
from Canada. Two-thirds of this timber is
unlawfully cut from government land, and
besides several instances where lands have
been improperly certified to the state of
Minnesota as swamp lands have been dis
covered. The sensation will come when
the interior department brings suit against
two or three big lumber firms one Of which
has its headquarters at Duluth. The
government cannot at present get at the
stealings of the Canadians.

bisMARcK, Feb. 9.-(special. The great
n&nt over tbs r0submission of prohibition
camc mp In the house to-day and ut mid
night IL still on. The temperance commit
tee u composed OF nine members, eight Of
whom are outspoken prohibitionistss About
three O'Clock they reported honse bill No.
l32, providing a constitutional amendment
Tor resubmission, and favored an indefinite
postponement. After hard fight this re-
port was adopted. Then II was moved to
reconsider, and also TO lay that motion on
the table. This wss too much. II was
found that Williams, Of Grand Forks, was
absent without leave, and call OF the
house WAS ordered. The sergeant A. arms
secured the highways and byways looking
for Willisms, who, when last seen, was
making tracks across tho hills in
to the country. All efforts TO find
him were Of no avail and the
committee SO reported. Then the sergeant
was given two deputies to assist in the search
and started out s2ain. In the meantime
repeated motions to dispense with business
under the call were made. put and defeated,
twenty-six voting aye, thirty-two being re-
quired. At midnight the call had not been
broken and the resubmissionists seem de-
tcrmined to hold the fort until help should
como on the 9:20 train in the morning.
when, it is believed, by the arrival of half
a dozen tardy members resubmission will
carry in the house by two or three major
ity. In the senate there is a strong senti-
mont against prohibition and rcsubmission
Will have a safe majority.

Admiral Sir Thomas Symonis Points Out
| Its AstonisIlin. Weakness.
LONDON. Feb. 9.-The truly periious con-
dition of England during war, owing to
the exceedingly weak state of the navy, as
compared with that from 1888 to 1915. is the
subject of very remarkable letter Just
written by Admiral Sir Thomas Symonds,
of the royal navy, to the Marquis of Sails
bury. Standing in the light of recognized
authority, Sir Thomas is listened to by the
British military service with mingled Won
der and apprehension. The service pape rs
print the letter in full with copious cdito-
rials.
Sir Thomas states that Great Britain has
SO few cruisers that even in 1895 it would be
impossible to supply the coaling stations
during war with Francs alone. The fight
ing and mercantile nayies would be para
iyzed and punctual supply of food would
be impossible. I'm 1874" he continued,
I'VE had sos vessels, and in 1880, 5Ol, In
tho personnel of our numbers are about
10000 partly trained men. The French
have To-, 600 Inserts and 26,OO0 marine ar
tlllery men and light infantry, total of
U,OO0 we'll trained men. We should have
ut least marine artillery men enough beyond
what we have to garrison our dockyard
'O"AA"' "u.cu onouiu Dc, hko tuc TIeuCn,
under control OF the admirals.
''As to vessels, we have none. We need
twenty battle ships and fifty cruisers of all
classes, ready for sea, as a reserve-except
being manned-to relieve accidents. and
even for coaling, passing the crews of those
vessels returning to port to those ready for
sea-
In conclusion, Admiral Symonds says that
he deems it his imperative duty to make
manifest how recklessly his country ia pur-
suing the road to ruin in the event of war,
for he is certain that seventy six armor-
clads and eighty eight cruisers, some of
which are of 4 questionable character, can
not possibly fulfill the duties expected of
her majesty's navy.

Dealer at Outs.

The Chicago Packer and the Montana
Dealer at Outs.
CHICAGO, Feb. o. Special. Nelson Nor.
ris. the big packer, in circuit court bill
asks an accounting from Pierre Wibaux,
the Montana cattle king. ]. Meyer. acting
as agent for Morris, made contract with
Wibaux. on June q, $780, for $500 steers at
S45 per head. and 5000 COWS at $40 per
head. They were to be good. merchantable
cattle. Up to Sept. 10 Wibaux had deliy-
cred 1861 steers. for which he was to re-
ceive Sl06.5l5, and 3.61O cows. amounting
to $4,000. Morris had paid him $ls3, $50.
Wibaux claims there is due him $45.435.
while Morris declares that the cattle dealer
owes him at least $4,000 as the
steers and COWS fell far short in quality of
what the contract required. Wibaux
claims to have more stock which he has
rendered to Norris but which the latter
has declined to accept. A few weeks ago
the cattle dealer began suits amounting to
nearly 100000 against Morris for alleged
breach OF contract. Now the packer seeks
to have his claim established and insists on
an accounting. In few days ATTORNEYS
representing Mr.. Morris will ask for an in
junction to restrain the prosecution of the
lawsuits brought by Wibaux.

Preferred by the Indians to military Men
z --Farther Conference.
WAsHNaroN, Feb. 8. The conferences
with the Indians was resumed to- day. Com
missioner Morgan said he had heard enough
OF the past, and wanted to hear Of plans
for the future. He was prepared to issue
100000 worth of beef to Indians entitled
to 1t, which had been cut off in the past,
Senator Dawes said il the Indians did their
part and were industrious the government {
would do its part and help them become
self-supporting. White Ghost spoke of the
encroachments of whites upon Indian lands.
Rations of coffee, he said, amounted to
about 100 grains per week to each person.
he also complained of the smatluess
of bacon rations. He said the delegation
had reached unanimous decision that they
dld not want military agents. Big Name,
OF the Lower Brule agency, said that whites
prevented Indians from getting fuel snu
nay. he wanted the agency moved nearer.
they needed better school facilities. He
complained of the small size of beef cattle
gwen them. Little No Heart spoke in the
same vein.
Commissioner Morgan asked such of tile
red skins as preferred civil agents to stand
ur. All did 80 except Major Swords, chief
OF the Indian police at Pine Ridge. who
preferred military agents. Mad Bear, from
Standing Rock, said his people insisted on
more reservation schools. If schools were
located on the reservation their influence
would be felt not only by the pupils but by
the parents as well.

clares the new ministers all at variance

tated to the extent Of delight over an eIope-
ment within it, borders. Mr.. Walter Eaton.
dry goods man of New York, and Miss
Msud LilIienthal. Of Yonkers. are the lend
ing actors in thA comedy. Mr.. Eaton was
quite - bold and dashing o. young Loch-
invsr OF old. and the lady is quite as sweet
and dainty ss any of the maidens who have
used thearopc- ladder route to happiness.
some time ago the young people met and
iovec. The young woman's mother had
e'vSn her sanction, but Withdrew it later
" favor OF an older and wealthier suitor.
The daughter objected to the change of
suitors. The mother, without telling her
daughter where they were going, brought
her to Sewickley. for visit ton days
ago. They ware stopping with a
friend. Mrs. Mcmillan, Of Edeeworth. Mr..
Eaton. after few days, obtained hint as
to the whereabouts Of Miss Lillicnthal and
came to Pittsburg, finally tracing mother
and daughter to sewickley. He has been
in SewickIey for the past week, endeavor-
ing to communicate with his sweetheart.
but not until Monday was he successful. A
note was finally delivered to the young
woman. and an appointment was made for
that afternoon.
The trystinR place was in the meadow
that slopes gently away feom Quaker ave-
nue., jnst below ''Sand Hill" A moment
after the young lady reached the spot the
waschful mother arrived.
The group then consisted of a handsome
middle-aged woman in deep mourning, a
tall. stylish girl, dressod in suit of tan
colored cloth, draped over cardinal petit
coat, with large haE covered with
feathers; nice-looking, but not particu-
larly striking young man. A carriage stood
on the roadside.
The mother expostulated, begged. and
pleaded. The young people were impIaca-
Bile. Suddenly the girl ran to the carriage.
and the young man threw his arms about
the mother and held her. His sweetheart
once safely inside the carriage, he released
MS hold on the elder lady, and,
with the qnickness and agility OF youth.
raced toward the vehicle with his soon to-
be mother-in-law and beat her. The
driver whipped up his horses and away
they went at breakneck speed up the road.
In a moment carriage and lovers were lost
to view. In less than an hour they were
out OF Allegheny county, and in Beaver
county. where they were married bv |
friendly minister. They then returned to |
Sewickley, passing the night at |
the residence of Mr.. Charles Cooper who |
had assisted them materially in carving
out the elopement, and who had asked that
the honeymoon be spent at his house.
Yesterday morning they called at Mrs.
for the brides trunk, aud the |
usual tears, reconciliation and forgiveness
took place. The bride il we'll known in
Pittsburg, having often visited at the resi-
ience of Judge and Mrs. Magee. She be-
IF friends.

Speaker Elder, or Kansas. A utocratic and
| Also Profane.
TOPEKA, Feb. 9.-Speaker Elder is virtu-
ally the house. He is very clear headed
man and his experience has made him in
valuable to his party. He is not Chester
field and frequently violates the proprieties.
On such occasions he is always filed with
remorse. The other day Representative
Heber requested that the telegram which
he tried Intellectually to have read the day
before be attached to the petition to which
it related. The telegram announced that
sixteen or seventeen old soldiers had not
been able to sign petition for Mr.. Ingalls,
reelection, and they desired that it be
an ended SO as to include their names. Mr.,
Heber besought the speaker to have the
telegram incorporated in the petition.
"The clerks desk is full of petitions" re-
piled the speaker, "and it will take too long
to hunt for this one.''
Here is the telegram said the incau-
tlous clerk, who has not yet learned the
scope Of his duties.
Pot the -- thing down." exclaimed
Mr.. Speaker, loud enough to be heard by
great many people in the vicinity OF hie
desk, Put it down"
The telegram disappeared, and the clerk
was unable to find either it or the petition.
As the speaker glanced around at the a.
dies who adorned the space about his DECK
q hJrriSle fear seized him. Had they heard?
Heaven forbid! If by good fort inc they
had not, they should not learn of his shame
from the newspapers. He seized pencil
and wrote hurriedly. A page brought a
crumpled slip of paper to the representative
of the Times. It read:
Reporters are requested not to report
profane words slipped from lips of speaker,
