AS TO OPTIONS.

Dealing In Futures Decided by Minns-
Esota's Supreme Court to BE Gambling.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 5.--The supreme court
has handed down decision Of more
than usual interest, signed by Judge
Vanderburgh. II was the last case on
the April term calendar, and Is entitled
Oscar Mohr ct al, respondents, VS.. An
ton Miesen, appellant. Miesen was sued
for money expended In the purchase and
sale Of grain. The answer alleges that
the purchases and sales were not for
actual delivery, but were in the nature
of gambling transaction. The case
was argued before the Ramsey district
court, and the trial court held that the
contract was valid. This decision is re-
versed by Judge Vanderburg's opinion.
The court holds that contracts for the
sale and delivery of grain or other COM
modities to be delivered ut future day
are not per Sc unlawful for the parties
in good faith intending to perform them
according to their terms, but contracts
in form in future delivery not intended
to represent actual transactions, but
merely to pay and receive the difference
between the agreed price and the mar
ket price at future day, are in the
nature of wagers on the future price
and void.

Fifty Buildingsat the Ground Squirrel
Mine, at Butte, Demolished by
an Explosion.
Fire I'm the Hosting House OF the
Mine Responsible for the
Disaster.
Many Persons Injured, Though 1t Is
Thought None Of Them
Fatally.

BUTTE, Mon, Oct. 5.--At Up. M, an
explosion occurred in the southeastern
part of the city that was felt all over
town. 1t occurred in the hosting house
of the Ground Squirrel mine. The hoist
ing engine and boiler near the shaft
were covered by small frame house.
A good deal of giant powder is used in
sinking, and since cold weather set in
the boxes containing it have been kept
behind the boilers to prevent freezing.
There were several boxes of caps near at
the time, and six boxes of giant powder.
The roof of the hosting works caught
fire abont the time mentioned and
in spite of the engineers efforts the
Flames Got Beyond Control.
They soon burned down to where the
caps were, and they exploded. The con-
cussion discharged the giant powder in
the boxes. The result was the most
complete wreck of the houses in the
neighborhood, about fifty being more
or less damaged. Though many were
more or less hurt, no lives have been
lost, as far as learned. Mrs. Anna Po-
itch and child are seriously injured by
flying debris, the mother perhaps fatally.
Mike Adams, who was walking thirty
yards away, was knocked down and is
insensible with conclusion of the brain.
A miner at the bottom of the shaft of
the Ground Squirrel was struck and
fatally injured by the fall of the bucket.
The conclusion was felt over mile
from the scene of the explosion.

IGNORES ENGLISH PROTESTS.
A Native Of China, Said to be a Canadian
Citizen. Sent to the Flowery Kingdom.

A Native Of China, Said to be a Canadian
Citizen. Sent to the F1owery Kingdom.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The president
has directed that Chong Sam, China
man, be deported to China as the coun-
try whence he came In taking this
action the president upholds the practice
of the treasury department and the con-
struction placed upon the Chinese ex-
clusion act by Attorney General Miller,
and ignores the protest of the British
government. The facts In the case are
these: Chong Sam, Chinaman, resi-
dent in Canada, entered the United
States, July 1, 1891; was arrested at
Port Huron, Mich, for being unlaw-
fully in the United States; was tried and
found guilty before United States Com
missioner Harris, and by him sentenced
to be deported to China as the country
whence he came" In accordance with
this decision Secretary Foster directed
that Chong Sam be sent to San Fran
cisco for deportation to China. Pend
ing the carrying out of this order the
British minister asked that action be
dcferredso that he could institute an
investigation as to whether or not
Chong Sam, being resident Of Canada,
was not entitled to the protection Of the
British government. As result of this
Investigation the British minister asked
that Chong Sam be pardoned. This the
president refuses and directs that he be
returned to China as the country
whence he came.n
