"Affidavits and other important
papers, filed by many leading attorneys
throughout the country are not properly

impossible for the bureau to properly

on the part of practitioners not only in
creases the work of the bureau, but
necessarily delays the adjudication of

attorneys to this fact in order that they
may see that all papers forwarded by

MANY meritorious claims are delayed
by the failure of evidence to reach

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 30.--The
present spell of dry weather is one of the
longest ever experienced in this section.
Streams and springs in all sections Of
the country are drying up, and the rail
roads are finding it very troublesome to
secure the water necessary to run their
trains. The Louisville and Nashville

trains every day, is compelled to send
ont on each train a tank car with large
tank filled with water, because many
streams down the road which have
formally supplied water are now drv.
The employees along the line are supplied
with water from this city, every passen-

Montgomery water, which is distributed
at points where the water supply is ex.

WINNIPEG, Man, Oct. 30.-The Mani
toba school act received bad blow
Thursday when the supreme court at
Ottawa rendered judgmentunanimously
holding that the Roman Catholics of
Manitoba can maintain their separate
schools.
The decision is to the effect that the
public school act passed by the Manitoba
legislature prejudicially affected the
rights and privileges of Roman Catho-
lies in respect to their system of de-
nominational schools, and it therefore
violated the act admitting Manitoba in
to the union.
Premier Greenway stated to a United
Press correspondent that the case would
be appealed to the imperial privy coun-
ell III London. The Roman Catholics
here are jubilant over the victory.

WASHINGTON, Oct 80. - The sensa-

Chilian affair by an offer of the rebel
lious little republic to make amends to
the fullest limit of its ability. She will
apologize give proper financial repara-
ton to our injured sailors and punish
the soldiers, sailors and police in its
service who fired upon our defenseless
men in the streets of Valparaiso. This
is all that could be expected and it may
be that the crisis which we were repre-
sented as passing through is in the past.
Chilli has named its diplomatic repre-
sentative to this country and he is here
and negotiations are making for the
fullest reparation on Chili's part in con-
nection with the affair which has at
