SPoKaNE, june 7.-In consequence of
the unsettled right of way through this
citylthe Great Northern has decided to
run temporary line, from Ghattaroy

portant that the line shall be finished

mer. The unadiusted condition of
things has compelled a lease of
lands here which is the storage site of
from forty to sixty carloads of material
daily, whicifis unloaded at once, and
cars sent back east. Last night a train
of forty cars arrived with steel rails, ties
and material for the construction depart
ment. About 900 carloads of material
have already been received. Five side
tracks, half q mile In lengths have been
constructed on the land leased until

are lined with supplies. There are 400
carloads of ties, and rs miles of S0-ponnd

THE sECRErARY OF STATE
chauneey D~p.~'s Opinion of The POSI-
tion of Secretary of state---
Never Chump.

WAsElSGroN, June pa few days
since, some fun-loving senators managed
to get considerable sport out of the fact
that Senator Mitchell, of Oregon. had
lust shaved off his beard. Ever since
the senator first came to Washington as
senator from Oregon, in 1878, he has
worn a luxuriant beard that grew thickly
from his face and fell down well over
the front of his vest. In all the nine-
teen years or more that he has frequented
the capital no razor has ever touched his
face, and when he turned up with it
shaved as smooth as that of school boy
almost every man in the senate needed
an introduction to him. Senator Gull
lom came in late, and some of bis col
leagues took Senator Mitchell to him
and introduced him to the Illinois SEN
ator as man from Nebraska, who had
been an earnest advocate of the nomina-
ton of Cullonr for president. Senator
Mitchell carried out the joke very well,
and the two had been talking some time
before Senator Cullom recognized the
man he was talking with. Vice-Presi-
dent Morton was alec a victim of the
sport, as when Mr. Mitchell arose to ad-
dress the chair, he seemed very doubtful
about giving the apparent stranger rec
ognition.
1t appears that Chauneey Depew has
has finally decided that he cannot ac-
cept the portfolio OF state. In spite OF
his important business interests there is
no doubt that the position tempts even
great railroad president. 1t is an
honor second only to that of being presi-
dent of the United States. In one re-
spect it is even greater, for, as Depew
himself says, we have never had a
''chump' for secretary of state. The
whole line, beginning with Alexander
Hamilton and ending with James G
Blaine, is more illustrious than the line
of chief executives. Mere financial
sacrifice can hardly weigh with such &
man as Depew against an honor SO great
as to occupy place in this line. But il
is perhaps not wholly his own persona
interests which Depew had to consult il
this case. The possibility of throwing
off responsibilities entrusted to him b,
others had TO be considered. There il
no other American who would bette
grace the position.

rendered n decision in the case of
Charles Reed and others against the
mayor and city council. The action
was brought to restrain tho. issuance
of u warrant for So, $40 ordered drawn
by the city council in favor of A. w.
Wilmarth rs city attorney. The
court decided the case in favor of
the plaintiff, Charles Reed and others,
holding that the resolution authoriz-
ing the issuance of tho warrant was
illegal and void Judge Campbelrs 8
decision makes the temporary injunc-
tion permanent 1t is probable tho
case will be taken to tho supreme
court.
In the case Of the board of educa-
tion, involving the right of the city
council to call an election for the
adoption of the law of 1891, Judge
Campbell held that the right was
lodged in the council and not with
the county superintendent This
decision makes the recently elected
board the lawful board of education
for the city of Huron. The Judge
stayed all proceedings for ten days,
pending an appeal Also in the case
of the city council, mayor ct al.
against the old board OF education,
brought to enjoin it from transacting
any business, the court dismissed tho
complaint on the ground that no cause

ST. LOUIS. July 20-Since the regu
lations of the Chinese exclusion act
have become generally known among
the Mongols living in St Louis q quiet
movement has been set on foot whereby
certain Cinnamon who have not been
in the United States since before the
passage of the law on May 5 last hope
to be able to avoid expulsion from the
country. There are no less than half
q dozen Ceiestials i'll the city who have
arrived in the country since the pas
sage of the act. The law provides that
nll laborcrs who were not in tho
United States prior to May shall DO
returned TO China. All persons who
shall be able to prove proprietorship
OF all or part of bona fide lnercal-
tile business nre exempted from the
penalty provided. it being the spirit of
the law to prevent the landing of Chi
nese pauper laborers only, on United
States soil.
The scheme adopted by the Chinese
who are amenab!o to the law is said to
be the transfer of certain shares of
stock in several groc ries of the city
which are kept by Cinnamon to per-
sons who are in danger of being ex-
pelled The owners of the groceries
in question are said to be in league
with those upon whom the strong arm
of the law will fail. and it is claimed
that regular stock companies will be
formed OF one or more of them. OF
the stock of these companies certain
shares will be given or sold to all who
are in danger OF being sent back to
their native land, in order that they
can claim to come under the hend of
merchants To accomplish this the
cclestials are said to have employed {.
lawyer to draw up articles OF incorpo-
ration for one or more of the compa-
MICS, and it is expected that within a
few weeks they will file their articles
with the secretary Of state at Jefferson

On behalf of the defense, Attorney

rest of the accused men in order that
they might surrender and give bail.
Neither tho district attorney or tho
Judge, however, were willing to con-
cede this much. Tho former snid that
tho other men were, so far, fugitives

SCRANTON, Pa, July 16.-General
Master Workman Powderly has ad-
dressed q letter to President Harrison
and another to Governor Pattison call
ing attention to the fact that the laws
OF the United States and OF Pcnnsyl-
vanin have been violated by tho inva-
sion Of the Pinltertons on July G. In
his letter to the president. Mr.. Pow
derly sums up that armed bodies, not
acting under the United States flag
and not acting under the legal
authority of the state or any
county or municipality, had come
up the Monongaheln river and
opened fire upon the citizens of
Homestead. killing number of per-
sons Mr. Powdcrly says that who
ever usurped the functions of the CON-
mander-in-chief Of tho army of tho
United States in ordering these men
to invade Pennsylvania is guilty of
treason and should bo punished ac-
cordingly and ho therefore asks for an
investigation.
In his letter to the governor. he
points out tho illegality Of the acts of
the Pinkertons in reporting as an
armed body without the governor s
permission, and asks that steps be inn
mediately taken to effect punishment
he goes over the. same points covered
in his letter to the president,
and asserts the constitutional right
OF tho worlsmen at Homestead
to defend themselves against IN un-
authorized invasion OF armed men.
Treason to the state. he maintained,
had been committed by Mr.. Frick and
Robert Pinkerton, who alone were re-
sponsible for bringing in armed men,
and he asked that the punishment
fixed by law be meted out to the
transgressors. Another point Mr..
Powdsrly names is that ns the armed
men came altogether from outside the
stRte, and us such could not hold
Offices, they could not be sworn in as
deputies.

ceedcd to unearth it and, to their great
astonishment, found it to be u petri-

McLuckie has been released on $40. 900

not apply to Hugh o'Donnell and the
rest of the strikers for whom warrants
have been issued, but who have failed

and said that having carefully
gone through the evidence with
the associate counsel for the state he

the offence was of considcrab bio gravity

should bs ample
