Saturday night Dick Bill Bird and Sol
ONION Blue. two Red Lake Indians, were
at the Commercial Hotel. The fire.
qnency with which the pair appeared as
witnesses in Indian liquor cases has brought on
them the enmity of large number of people,

formed and proceeded to the Commercial
Hotel.
The proprietor of the hotel in some manner
received news of what was to be done and
had the doors barred when the mop ar
rived. They demanded entrance, which was
promptly refused, whereupon they proceeded
to batter in the doors and commenced
a search of the house and soon found the room
where the two Indians were. They were drag
ged from bed and both were treated to coat of
tar and feathers and made to run the gauntlet
of one hundred men, receiving kicks and
bruises. An effort to lynch them was sup
pressed. Blue is badly mi ured. The mob was
composed principally Of saloon men and In

DETROIT CATHOLICS PROTEST.
They Object to the Taxation of Their Church
Property.

DETROIT. Mich, March 6.-Petitions were
circulated in all the Roman Catholic churches
of this diocese yesterday protesting against the
taxation Of church property as proposed in a
bill now before the legislature.
In the preamble it is stated that the churches,
educational and charitable institutions accom-
plish more for the good of society than all
the police systems and courts of law, and save
the state millions of dollars.
The petition, in conclusion, reads; 1.-The pro-
posed legislation would tax religion and the
worship Of Cod tax the spirit of
charity and the diffusion of knowledge;
tax human misery, weakness and misfor-
tune; tax the devotedness and self-sacrifces
of those who wish to help their fellow men. 1t
has put religion on the same plane as COM
merce; put a premium on infidelity and unbe-
lief; put those who vote for the measure on
record as the enemies Of religion, charity and
enlightenment"
The petition, when signed, will be sent to the
legislature.

Gen. Mathews, acting in the absence of Sir
G- A. Portal, now on his way to Uganda as
British commissioner to examine the situation
Of that county, took a prompt and vigorous
course. Proceeding to the palace with
strong force of troops he demanded
that the gates be opened, or otherwise the
palace would be carried by storm, if necessary.
kalid was dismayed by the resolute attitude of
the British, who were supported by the native
authorities generally. and he no prospect
Of success if he should challenge a conflict.
Many OF the natives sympathized with kalid
on account of British opposition to the slave
trade, and for other reasons, but they did not
dare to come out openly in defiance of the
British. kalid and those who had acted with
him concluded to yield, and the doors of the
palace were thrown open and the troops
admitted
