The story by telegraph that Presi-
dent Harrison had allowed the measure
for the opening of the great Colville
Indian reservation in Washington to
become a law without his signature
attracted much attention in San Fran
cisco. This is the greatest reservation
that has been thrown open on the Pa
cific coast for many years. 1t com
prises 100000 acres, rich in agricul-
tual, mineral, grazing and timber re-
sources. Thousands of people have
been looking forward to it's opening
with great interest. A mere handful
of indians, under the leadership of
Chief Moses and Chief Joseph, not to
exceed 600 in all have been holding this
from settlement for many years. This
is not all of the Colville reservation.
acres, so that the amount to be thrown
open is only little more than half
The"600 Indians have been holding not
only the 100000 acres, but all the rest
of it for these years. The reservation
is bounded on the north by British
Columbia (that is the mainland), on
the east and south by the Columbia
river and on the west by the Okanogan-
The part to be thrown open stretches
for thirty-eight miles south of the
boundary, Much of it is rolling

barley and vegetables on little farms

Freedom for Married Women.

Gov Flower, of New York state, has
just signed the bill which permits mar
ried women to make contracts in their
own names as freely as men may do.
The last trace of the prejudices against
the free action of women in matters
of their own property rights thus disap-
pears from the New York statute book;
and since New York has led the way
in reforms of this nature, it is likely
that other states where women lie I'M
der disabilities, the results of ancient
barbarism, will speedily follow the ac-
ton of the Empire state lawmakers in
this excellent measure of reform. AS
every one knows, the wife was-nay, in
many countries, and even in many
states of our own enlightened union,
still is-regarded as the chattel and
property of the husband. The law al
ways follows at the tag-end of civiliza-
ton in matters of this sort; but our
generation has witnessed the destruc-
ton of many unworthy old boundaries.
New York has not always been first in
reforms of this nature; but her example,
when she does awake to wrong, al
ways works good.

Just after they started down the noun
tain on the north side towards Fort An
derson the men were divided into three
squads. Soon afterward three men, all
uniformed and claiming to be friendly to

the regiment down the mountain. With

eRAvER TROUBLES FEARED.
War Department Officials Greatly Excited
>Oscr Strike Reports.


~Owcr Strike Reports.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-There is much
excitement at the War Department over
the strikes growing up all over the coun-
try, and it is the opinion of the military
authorities that serious trouble will yet
result as the strike contagion spreads.
While Assistant Secretary of War Grant
and the other officers of the department
are disposed to give out soothing news, it
is known that they are greatly excited
and believe the labor troubles already on
are but mild precursor of what is to
follow.
Gen. L. A. Grant, Assistant Secretary
OF War, communicated to report er just
what the mysterious kilograms received
at the department contained. They were
acquisitions for the entire supply of
arms, ammunitions and accoutrements
to the credit of the State of Tennessee in
the War Department. These, embracing
600 stand of arms and 5000 rounds of
ammunition, were sent in the morning to
Gov. Buchanan.
Gen. Grant explained that the arms
and ammunition form only part of Ten
nessees quota, under it's allotment of
$1,000 of the appropriation for the sup
port of the National Guard of the States,
and that the Governors requisition would
IlitHc D0en any uIlnc,
of the condition of affairs in the State. 1t
so happened that the Governor had not
previously awaited himself of his legal
privileges so far as the National Guard
allotment was concerned.
Gen. Grant said that the department
had refused an application to allow volun-
teers to use, the Government arms at the
University of Tennessee, for the reason
that they-were intended solely for the use
of the cadets and could not be loaned to
outside parties, no matter how commend
able their purpose.
Assistant Secretary Grant said that
while he was not in position to state
positively, he hardly thought the Unit ed
States troops would be called out to queil
| the rioting miners. He said he thought
| the State troops of Tennessee would be
sufficient.
Gen. Grant has telegraphed instructions
| to the commandment of the arsenal at In
| dianapolis to forward aC once to the Gov
crnor of Tennessee at Knoxville, CO.
| stands of arms and 80, 900 rounds of am
munition, for use by State authorities il
| suppressing miners riots. This action
was based on the formal requisition from
| Govern or Buchanan.

ONE of the difficult problems that

ONE of the difficult problems that
architects have to consider in erecting
very high buildings is said to be wind
bracing. The variation of practice is
wide, showing that ideas differ in re-
gard to details and the amount and OPP
Grafton of the forces to be resisted. In
designing metal structures engineers
agree substantially, the greatest differ
ences being in regard to the use of cast
iron and the relative merits of hollow
tile walls and of iron or steel rods as
vertical bracing. 1t is said that some
architects depend wholly on ordinary
partitions for lateral stability, no mat
ter how much they may be weakened
by openings. 1t is all right to have the
exterior walls a mere exterior curtain
to shield the interior metal frame, but
the frame should be braced efficiently.
Vibrations due to cars, trucks and dyna-
mos have to be considered, also.

IT is said that every italian emigrant
takes with him from his native land on
an average of ninety dollars in silver
change. This, it is said, is causing a
stingency in small silver in Italy. The
government of that country is trying to
devise some means of preventing the
expectation of so much silver, but
that will be impossible unless emf
grafton is prevented. The peasant
has to make his savings in small coins
and when he emigrates he takes it with
him; he cannot use italian paper money
in foreign lands.

Gladstone to power Is much commented
upon by the papers inspired by the Radi-
calls, as the Cabinet presided over ny
Lord Salisbury was Il fhvorite i'll that

The reason for this is that the Conscrv-

The hope is expressed in many quarter
that the new Cabinet will continue in and

PoLITENEss is a commendable thing,
but it is possible to overdo the matter.
In Newark, N. j., the other day a man
who was riding in an electric car was
seized with a desire to sneeze. On
each side of him there was woman,
and he felt that it would be impolitc to
sneeze in front of them, so he decided
to sneeze behind them, and with that
purpose in view he thrust his head
from the car window. While he was
in the act of sneezing his head came in
contact with pole, and his skull was
dangerously fractured.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND says concern
ing the matter of public and parochial
schools: "There is to be no union of
church and state, but there is to be no
hostility between church and state
they must move on parallel lines. How
to bring about in society an amicable
cooperation without throwing the one
across the orbit of the other may re-
quire an effort and a spirit of concilia-
ton on both sides, but the results to be
obtained are well worth the effort.
This is the archbishop's point, and in
the following sentence he indicates the
method: "Just little yielding of our
notions so as to meet halfway the no.
tons of others; just little mutual
good will, little putting down of
prejudices and of mistrusting others;
Just this much and the evil is remedied.

Moon and Attorney General Brown had
better be careful or bullets would be put

made because these officials are using
every means to bring the members of the
Inman mob to justice, having ordered the
sheriff to make 81 captures. The rioters

BELLEFoNTE, Pa, Aug. 20.-The effort
made here to hire men to go to Home
stead failed. j. L. Munson, late superin-
tendent of Gen. Beavers nail works called
a meeting of the idle iron workers of the
nail works and Bellefonte furnace COM
pany, and about 100 men assembled to
learn where they were wanted, as the call
did not state.
When informed that they were wanted
to go to Homestead the men voted unani-
mously to stay at home, although big
Inducements were offered. The decisio II
WAS somewhat of q surprise to Munson,
as well as everybody in Bellefonte, as few,

Munson however, is still confident OF
securing at least 80 men to go to Home
stead before the end of another week.

if the Captain Were Not Produced-HeI
Was Immediately Surrendered - The
Brave Defense of the Fort--volun teers
Fell Into an Ambuscade.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 20.-General
Carnes is monarch of all he surveys at
Coal Creek. He occupies a meadow
midway between the village and Fort An
derson. Passengers on the last train,
which left there at 5 o'clock, say that he
had about 100 of the insurgents prisoners
and is guarding them near his camp.
The garrison at Fort Anderson has
been increased to 200 men and 100 picked
rnen are guarding the depot and railroad
property. Soon after his arrival he de-
manded the release of Capt. Anderson,
and gave the miners until 1 o'clock to
produce him. One o'clock came, and
o'clock passed by and the miners had not
turned over the captive. He then Or
dered his men to arrest all suspicious
looking men.
They went around the village and ar
rested men promiscuously until 100 had
been taken into camp. He addressed them
as follows:
son at l o'clock. You have broken faith
with me. You shall produce him in one
hour, or I will proceed to burn every
house in town and will shoot every one of
you down"
In less than'an hour committee sent
out for the purpose marched into camp
and surrendered the prisoner. He imme-
diately resumed command at Fort Ander-
son. He. had been concealed in a little
lOnSp of
lage.
When the special train bearing the bod
les of the two volunteers who were killed
in the battle at Coal Creek yesterday and
the volunteers who went to the front
rolled into the depot, 5000 people were
gathered about the station, and the ex-
element was higher than at any time
since the trouble began. When the train
stopped the men, who bore every evidence
of actual service on the field of battle,
poured out of the coaches and formed in a
line through which their two dead COM
rades were carried in military style.
Not until the arrival of this train was
it possible to get a direct statement of the
battle and the exciting incidents leading
up to it.
Five men were killed in all. The dead
militiamen are:
John T. Walthall, of this city. railway
clerk, aged %.
Bruce Givens, farmer, Knox county,
aged &c.

about II o'clock at night
They left Offutts about 2 o'clock and
went across Walden's Ridge by a circuit

"TO Open Their Eyes,"

That is what Jesus Christ was al
ways doing. He could never be at
rest in the presence Of the blind in
simultaneously He felt the near presence
of the blind man. When did He ever
leave The blind man in darkness? A.
gain and again He said "According
to your faith be it unto YOU" He
opened the eyes of one that was born
blind, He opened the eyes of the blind
beggar who called to him from the
waysida. Jesus Christ will not have
any blind followers. This reference,
of course, is not to the opening of the
mental vision. Still, it is in exquisite
harmony with the whole purpose and
method of the Saviour, He will give
light, more light. in Him is no dark
ness at all, and from us He will drive
away every cloud and shadow.
"To turn them from darkness to
light" When did He ever turn men
from light to darkness? Never.
Whenever He visited II town the in
habitants were startled by an access of
intellectual luster, sometimes they
were dazzled, sometimes distressed
they were always surprised. Things
appeared so much larger to them after
He had touched them, old thoughts
stood up i'm new meanings when He
breathed them, the law itself became

ed its awful words. Enlargement is q
