I'm Defense of Russell Harrison.

WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. 4-The minor
ity of the House committee on public
lands today submitted views ON the Vel
lowstone Park investigation. They take
the ground that Secretary Noble acted
with fairness and justice in annuIling
transportation leases, and that Gibson
acted in a false and deceitful manner in
his relations with the secretary. A most
bitter attack is made on Gibson by the
minority, while Russell Harrison's con-
nection with the company is defended
in strong terms. Referring to it, the
minority accuses the majority of going out
of its way in what it characterizes as an
attempt 10 smirch the son of the presi-
dent by the use of some incidents in evil
dence." The facts are. it says, that GER
tain party interested in the park associa-
ton, assuming that Harrison would have
some influence with the unknown secre-
tary of the interior to be appointed, pro-
posed to induce Harrison to use such sup
posed influence for the benefit of the asso-
citation and remunerate him with fifty
shares of stock, but the stock was never
issued. The minority holds that Harrison
was never requested. except by Waters, to
use his influence, and there was no need
that he should do so. The whole thing
was evidently fraud. the minority con.
tinues. and one of Gibson's tricks. The
majority is unsupported by single par
ticle of evidence against Harrison and Its
comment Is wholly uncalled for.

Corrigan's Hatred OF Ireland.

with disrespect TO the pope in connection
with certain utterances in regard to Arch
bishop Ireland. The archbishop said he
was perfectly willing to give out for pub
LEGATION the letter sent by him and his
fellow bishops to the pope. and If this let
ter gives good ground for the charge OF
disrespect he is willing to stand by 1t. He
declined, however. to give for publication
the letter he sent the pope previous to
June Is, claiming that what he wrote was
'his own private business" If Arch
bishop Ireland will publish his memorial

THE OBSERVATION OF MARS.
Unsatisfactory Results in Europe, Owing
to the Position Of the Planet.


WASHINGTON Cry. Aug. 4-Professor
Asaph Hall, of the naval observatory, to-
night observed large white spot near the
southern pole of Mars. The cloudy
weather did not interfere with the OBJ
servance of the spot. but it prevented the
professor from examining other spots on
the planet and it's satellites. Mars will be
nearest the earth on the 18th inst, when
its distance will he about 50. 600 900 miles.
e BERLIN, Aug. 4.-No scientific observa-
ton OF the planet Mars has been made
here. owing TO the low lying position of
the planet, making Berlin an unfavorable
point of view.
HANOVER, N, H.. Aug. 4.-The inner
satellite OF Mars, Phebus, was observed at
Dartmouth college observatory last night.
PARIS, Aug. 4.-The secretary of the OBJ
servatory OF this city states that the OBJ
servation of the opposition of Mars will
extend over long period. The reports of
the results obtained will be postponed
for some time.
LONDON, Aug. Am course of an inter-
view by the Associated Press representa-
tive with the astronomer in charge of the
observatory at Greenwich the latter said
the planet Mars was too unfavorably stu
ated for taking observation In northern
ATTITUDES. 1t occupies the position the
sun does in midwinter. A few meridianal
observations have been taken, but resulted
in nothing worth reporting.
VIENNA. Aug. Ain an interview had by
q representative of the Associated Press
at the observatory on the Tuerkenschanze,
with Assistant Astronomer Hlldebrand,
the latter said:
Careful observations of the planet Mars were
made from the night OF July TO that of August
2, inclusive, by Herr Paliss, chief assistant
astronomer, and myself Owing to the pro1im-
i;y OF the planet 10 the southern horizon. the
result OF the observations was unsatisfactory.

hour At a point 81 degrees above the horizon

ately under this white patch three large dark
groups were observed. Perhaps they arc CONT
neuts like those OF our own earth. The haze
which enveloped the lower part OF Mars, how
ever. rendered accurate observations impossible.
The north pole and equator were completely
obseured. The observations were taken At half
past in the morning with the largest telescope

LOST FROM A CANOE.
Twenty-Eight British Columbia
Indians Drowned.
TWO cHINAMEN MURDERED.
Victoria TO Be the Terminus Of . Trans
Nelson d Fort sheppard Line.

VICTORIA. Aug. 4-ISpecial. THE In
dams of Bella-Coola and Wa-kee-Nah. OF
the Rivers Inlet tribes are in mourning.
The sea, their friend, father and provider,
on June 25 took in his arms twenty-eight
OF their brothers and sisters and
laid them in watery graves IN
Queen Charlotte sound, not far from
rocky Cape Caution. The story OF this
wholesale drowning was brought down BY
Captain Jones, of the steamer Phantom,
this morning, and there is apparently not
the slightest ground upon which to base Q
hope that some of the missing ones may
still be alive. The Indians had come
to participate in the salmon fishing at
the Wannuck cannery. The fish
were little late in arriving and to utilize
their spare time and add to their stock of
provisions at the same time, the fishermen
decided upon going on sea lion hunt.
Sea lions are numerous off Qneen Char
lotte islands and much sought by the
siwashes. The flesh used for food is gen.
orally smoked, while the oil finds ready
market.
The eighteen Indians started ont in one
big canoe on June %, heading for Cape
Caution. which was between twenty and
thirty miles away. The sea lions play
about the rocks in Queen Charlotte sound,
and it is supposed it was on the rocks that
the canoe was split in two, letting its load
of live freight go down to death. A dense
fog prevailed on the day Of the disaster
and no doubt the veil of mist prevented
the ablest swimmers from seeing their way
to the shore.
The hunters not returning as the days
went along, inquiries were instituted and
Fort Rupert Indian brought in word
that the halves of the canoe had been seen
afioat in the Sound, close to the mainland
shore. The Indians made many trips il
search of some tidings of their lost friends,
but the finding of the broken canoe was
their only reward. No bodies were dis
covered, and it is supposed all
have gone to the bottom. Having
failed in finding their lost ones, the
Indians asked the manager of the cannery
TO secure a steamer to assist them, and
the Phantom was engaged. She made
couple of trips with canoes in tow, but
could get no information anywhere along
the coast that would raise the slightest
hopes. The missing party is given up as
all lost. There were fifteen men and
three women of the Bella-Coolas, and ten
Of the Wa-kee-Nahs.

which the speech from the throne is to be
signed, will be held tomorrow. When
Gladstone appeared IN the house this after
noon he was given a wildly enthusiastic
reception. the Irish members rising in a
body Joined by the Liberals, waving their
hats and cheering. Hon. Arthur Wellesley
Peel, speaker OF the last house. was elected
speaker. The rising of Gladstone to
second the motion for the reelection of
Peel as speaker was the signal for renewed
cheering. Peel, after election, thanked
the members briefly, and the house adj
jonrned until tomorrow. There was the
usual meager attendance at the opening of
of the house of lords today, and adjourn
ment was quickly taken.
The Associated Press Is authorized to
state that John Morley has taken the posi-
ton of chief secretary for Ireland. The
Liberal whips are arranging for division
of the house on Tuesday.
The Eighty Club tonight gave dinner
TO Hon. Edwa ard Blake. formerly premier
of Ontario, and leader of the Liberal party
in Canada, who was returned to the
house of commons from the south divis-
ion OF Longford in the recent election.
In addressing the members Of the club
Mr.. Blake said:
He believed thar Ireland was on the eve of re-
alizing the results that Parnell fought for. The
combined efforts OF the Liberal sections were
certain 70 obtain the common objects they had
IN view. The Irish party was created and main.
tanned for . definite object, under . strict
system OF discipline allowing only limited
latitude The parliamentary weapons forged
under Psrneil's leadership had such weight,
solidity, temper and keenness, ana had wrought
such great things for Ireland, that the Liberals
could take up the Irish cause in an honorable
aud cordial manner and create o friendly
feeling between the Irish and English
democracy. Parnells weapons may have been
lessened in might bu. even now they were fully
adequate for the original purpose for which
they were intended He hoped the Irish minor
tty would ultimately see that the tactics of the
majority were sound. Every one had the inter-
ests OF Ireland at heart and desired the
passage of an effective home rule bill. IL
might not be that every detail OF the measure
would be exactly what some Lrshmen would
Ike, but, as Parnell once said, any sound meas
ure would be cheerfuiIy accepted II the Irish
members desired 10 make o success of o sub
stantial measure there would be neither time
nor inclination for captous criticism or faetious
agitation.

WEATHER AND CROPS,
A Little Too Dry In Both Sections
Wheat Harvest in Progress

Wheat Harvest in Progress.
OLYMPIA, Aug. 3.-No rain has fallen
this week; the temperature has been above
the average, with warm nights With
very few exceptions this has been very
favorable week. Haying has proceeded
rapidly, and hay is abundant and of good
quality. All small grains have done
finely in nearly all sections and in many
localities are ready TO cut. The grain har-
vest will no doubt be in full operation the
coming week. A large yield is promised.
with few exceptions. The dry weather
has checked the growth IN some localities
of late potatoes now in blossom, but the
damage is not widespread. They are
blighted some IN the western portion of
ChehaIis county, particularly in
the Humtulups valley. and the
blight seems to be increas-
ing. Insect life is very plenty in MANY
sections. In Kitsap county the green
aphis is present in different places in large
numbers. On Orcas island the apples con-
tinue to fall off the trees. The crop Of
large fruit will be generally very light.
Hops are still growing well and look
healthy and little fear Is felt but that a
good crop will be secured.
In Eastern Washington no rain has
fallen and the temperature has been con-
siderably above the average though the
nights have been cool In the northern
counties the temperature has risen TO 90
and 50 and as high as la5 In the south.
The high, warm winds OF the 10Th had
considerable drying effect on vegetation.
In Stevens county the harvest of small
grains has begun. While the yield is be-
low the average it is much better than
expected. In Spokane county the yield is
in many sections better than was ex-
pected, while in others the grain is not
worth cutting. Over the whole county
the prospects for fair yield have i'm
proved. In IAncoln while the Weld ia
light, it is greater than expected, is gener-
ally Of excellent quality, and there will be

THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.
A Duke No Better Than . Workingman
in England.

LoSpos, Aug. 4.-Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge delivered judgment today in a
case in which workingman sued the
Duke of Rutland because the latter's game
keeper stopped traffic on the highway
while driving grouse.
Lord Coleridge said days Of high-handed
interference with the rights of the people
had passed. The evidence showed that
the gamekeeper had knocked plaintiff
down. and when he complained to the
dukes son, Lord Edward Manners, the
latter replied: ''Go to the devil. If you
are shot your life be on your own head.
This. the lord chief justice said, would not
be tolerated from any person.
