Chancellor McGill Will Inquire Into
the Matter Before Giving
a Decision.

One OF the most curious divorces
which has ever occupied the attention OF
the Court OF Chancery came before the
Chancellor this morning. Counsellor
Frambach applied to the Chancellor

the suit of Francisco Unger against

Captain Penny Urges the Government
to Carry Out Recent Legislation.
WAsHINGTON, April 17.-Captain Pen
ney, United States Army, Acting Indian
Agent at Pine Ridge, has written, under
date of April 7th, long letterto the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs relative to the
situation at Pine Ridge. He says the In
dams look upon the recent legislation by
Congress as another promise, but their
confidence is somewhat strengthened by
the performance OF the agreement as to
rations. He urges, however, that the re-
cent legislation be carried into effect with
all proper speed. He says that danger is
to be apprehended of future trouble. and
the basis of his conclusion is upon the
fact that the people are in state OF un-
rest. They have not begun their farming
Their houses and property were plum
dered, and there is feeling of discourage
ment and conviction that it is hardly
worth while trying again, as there may

Special to the REcoRp-UN1oN.


WASHINGTON, April 17.-Captain White
of the Railway Mail Service, who recently
spent some weeks on the Pacific Coast
looking after the improvement of the
local service there, says he is at work on a
new schedule for the local service on the
coast, which will go into effect about the
1st of July next. 1t will change the
present arrangements very materially,
and it is expected to be quite an improve
ment.
Captain White said the service neces-
sarily had always been more or less de-
fective in the Pacific Coast States, owing
to difficulties over which the department
had no control. The recent railroad
building and Improvement in transporta-
tion facilities would enable the depart
ment to make changes in keeping with
the demand. He says the facilities on
the coast for handling the mail have al
ways been too small. With an increase
in the number of trains, and improved
running schedules, the change greatly
desired can be made.
The new schedule will call for more
changes in Oregon and Washington than
in any other two States, and will also
improve the facilities for doing business
with British Columbia, as well as placing
all interior towns in closer and more re-
liable communication with the business
centerS.

The Clunie Opera House was packed
last night by a representative audience to

satire, "a Texas Steer" From the OPEN

auditors IN eXtravagant laughter-in fact
the audience had no rest for its risibilities.
save between acts. The play is a
broad, an extraVagant satire upon
the methods of unscrupulous wealth
TO control elections, and upon the
efforts OF frontier Congressman
and his family. without culture or knowl-
edge Of good manners, to obtain social
footing of prominence at the National
Capital. There is vein, also, of cauStic
criticism OF methods of lobbying; and of
unscrupulous means employed in legis-
lation, while there is just touch of
pathos in the recital of the woes of q place
seeker. 1t will scarcely be commended
that the characters in the comedy are not
greatly over-drawn but there is lust
enough of truth underlying the piece to
give real seriousness TO the subject of the
play. The people in the troupe are all
competent. Their character acting is
strong, scarcely any better is SEEN Flora
Walsh, whom we have known only in
trifing farce, proves that she has dramatic
ability that promises much for her in
legitimate comedy. Mr.. Murphy's Ma
verick Brander is study; grotesdue and
over-colored as it is, it is nevertheless a
very striking example of good acting.
The man is lost in the character. and
there is not in it a shading that is not
original and artistic. Here and there are
scenes and lines in the play that are
coarse, not one Of which is necessary TO
the real action and plot of the comedy. 1t
is scarcely necessary, for instance, to
bring in the fellow who claimed to be
shot in the back, to provoke laughter.
The play provokes boisterous mirth suf-
iiciently without it. But as whole
it is taking play and has all the ele-
ments of popularity. Hoyt has played
upon key that is familiar to the public
ear, but in q manner bolder and more
ingenious than any playwright who has
preceded him. The Mighty Dollars
and 1.-The Senator and half score of
similar comedies have only touched the

Secretary Noble Soon to Make an I'm

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Within few
days Secretary Noble will announce a
decision that viii be of unusual interest
to settlers along the Northern Pacific. 1t
will set aside the Clifford Miller case,
which for some time has been used as a
precedent. It takes the position that
when an Indian reservation is opened to
settlement along a railroad receiving the
odd sections as grant, the odd sections
along the road in such reservation go to
the company the same as if the land had
been open to settlement when the road was
constructed. For some time the depart
ment has had under consideration case
involving the same questions as found in
the Gilford-Miller case, and it is said an
opinion is about prepared, and will hold
that i'll reservations opened to settlement
after road is constructed no part goes to
the company by way of grant. This
decision, it is claimed, will simplify the
situation in the Ceur d'Alene lands, as
well as in some other reservations about
to be opened to settlement, where the
railroads claim the lands under the Gill
ford-Miller decision.

Health Association, and widely known

that he has discovered the cause OF the
grippe. He states that the germs of in
f1uenza are generally at all times present,
but there must be certain cOncident
meteorological conditions to irritate the
throat and air passages sufficiently to let
the germ gain an entrance to the body.
These meteorological conditions in this
instance were the excessive prevalence of
north and northeast winds and the eXces-
sive amount of ozone during the last three
months.
