PURCHASES SILVER .
Director Preston's Action Up
held by Carlisle,
SAME POLICY WILL Be PURSUED
A. 0. .. W. Grand Lodge Adjourns-'
Sorry That She Spoke,

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Secre-
tary Carlisle this morning author
lied the Associated Press to state
that he fully approves the policy
pursued in his absence by Acting
Mint Director Preston in purchas-
ingssilver, but that the same policy
will govern silver purchases in the
immediate future. This state
ment will set at rest the rumors
that the secretary would on his re-
turn reverse the policy of the
treasury in purchasing silver.
Preston was intrusted by Secre-
tary Carlisle with entire discretion
in purchasing silver when he left
on his vacation, This morning,
with the approval of Secretary
Carlisle, he refused to purchase
100000 ounces of silver at 70 cents,
the London price being about SO.
This lot was part Of lot offered
yesterday at 73, and was declined,
and counter offer was made of
719, which the holder refused to
accept. This morning he offered
the stated 100000 ounces at 70
cents, but Preston told the offerer
he only purchased silver on silver
days-Mondays, Wednesdays and
FRIDAYS. The total silver pur-
chased so far this month is about
100000 ounces, besides some
local purchases which may bring
the total up to 100000 ounces.
1t is not expected that the total of
100000 ounces will be purchased
this month, but this is not worry
ing the treasury officials, as Secre-
tary Carlisle holds, with Preston,
that the law does not require the
treasury to purchase that amount
in case it is not offered within the
market price,

IT'S A BIG COUNTRY.
A Writer Gives an Idea of the Size of
Alaska.

A correspondent writing to a
Seattle paper, has this to say about
the great size Of Alaska and the
vast natural resources of that ex-
pansive domain:
Did you ever stop to think Of
the size of Alaska? II is nine
times as large as all the New Eng
land states put together; three times
the size Of California. or.twice the
size of Texas. 1t stretches more
than 1000 miles from north to south
and has a coast line of nearly 20,-
900 miles. We bought this coun-
try from Russia in 1867 and got
bargain that ought to satisfy any
human being; for, although we
paid lump sum Of 100000,
that amount only represented
about one-half a cent an acre. 1t
has an average of one inhabitant
for ever IS square miles, so one
is not likely to be jostled about
much.
AS for fishing-well, you can
have all you want and more. The
varieties of trout are not to be
catalogued, and the deep-sea fish
ing is superb. Talk about salmon !
Don't spin any yarns about sal
mon fishing before an Alaskan.
There is the red salmon, which
averages from six to ten pounds;
the humpback salmon. which can
outjump any other fish in the
world, even the Norway fish,
which have been known to jump
Is feet in the face of falls and
thought nothing about it. Then
there is the silver salmon, which
will take your fly before it touches
the water and argue with you, for
half an hour before it surrenders;
and last, the king salmon, who is
the chief of his race. You are
likely to hook one weighing sixty
pounds. If you are exceptionally
lucky, you may fasten to a fellow
who will turn the scales at eighty
pounds, and if you are an expert
fisherman, who knows just how to
"drop a line" you may get hold of
monster weighing 100 pounds. 1t
makes the mouth water to think of
such thing, and then, besides,
you wouldn't have to lie about the
size when you got home.

The Roseburg Review, in speak
ing of Judge Burnett's decision in
regard to the location of the Sold
ier's Home, says:
"The injunction against the To-
cation of the Soldiers Home at
Roseburg has been made perpetual.
This was expected when the mat
ter was brought before a judge re-
siding in Salem, where the ruling
passion is to hog everything in
sight, But this decision does not
end the fight, it merely opens it in
good shape. Roseburg secured the
location Of the home here by an
honest, ernest, effort and proposes to
leave no stone unturned to win the
suit. As soon as the supreme court
passes on the question, if the adj
verse, there will be on the injunction,
placed on every institution Of the
state outside the city limits Of Sa-
lem. Already funds enough have
been pledged to fight this thing to
the bitter end, and extra session of
the legislature, constitutions con-
yention. and the removal Of the
state capitol may soon become an in
teresting question to consider. The
building of the branch asylum in
Eastern Oregon, of which it was
claimed there was a great necessity,
is affected by the Salem injunction
suit; that is one reason why East
ern Oregon will stand together in
this matter.
The Dalles Chronicle believes that
Salem has overreached herself this
time and that she has awakened a
reyengeful antagonisma that will
not stop short of deprivirg her Of
every institution within her
clutches.
In the years to come. when Sa-
lem is a wart on the face Of nature.

destiny Of a hog. She has sown

RIGHT TO BOYCOTT.
Decision Bearing Upon Capi-
tai and Labor Alike.
THE LIMIT OF LABOR UNIONS
A Proposed Shut Down Burned His
Houses What Does it Mean.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 20-The
supreme court of the state handed
| down today an important decision,
which has a wide bearing on labor
and capital alike. The Northwest.
ern Lumbermen's Association has
a rule providing that no member
shall sell goods at any place at
prices lower than the retail deal
ers. The Bohn Manufacturing
Company, one of its members, was
accused of violating the rule and
was notified by Secretary Hollis,
that circular of warning of the
fact would be sent to all members.
Bohn secured an injunction re-
straining the secretary on the
ground that such a boycott would
seriously injure his business. The
lower courts order was today re-
versed by the supreme court on
the ground that the Bohn company,
being q member of the association,
should have conformed to its rules.
The supreme court holds anyone,
unless under contract obligations,
or unless his employment charges
him with some public duty, has
the right to refute to work for or
deal with any man or class of men
he sees fit, and this right, which
one man may exercise singly, any
number of men may exercise Joint
ly. In the opinion, which is very
lengthy, Judge Mitchell reviews
the history of the case and says
it presents one phase Of the sub
ject which is likely to be one of the
most important and difficult which
will confront the courts during the
next quarter of century. He
adds:
"'Fhis is an age Of associations
and labor unions Confined to
their proper limits they are not
only lawful but laudable. Carried
beyond these limits they are liable
to become dangerous agencies for
wrong and oppression. Be- yond
what limits these combinations
cannot go without interfering with
legal right of others, is the prob
lem which the courts will doubtless
be frequently called to pass up

The Sherman Law.

Here is a summary of the great
ly talked of Sherman law:
Section 1 provides that the Sec
retary Of the treasury shall pur-
chase 4,5000,000 ounces of silver
bullion a month or as much as
may be offered at the market price,
not to exceed 81 for 371.25 grains
of pure silver and pay for the same
in treasury notes.
Section 2 provides that the
treasury notes issued in payment
for silver shall be redeemed on de-
mand in gold or silver coin, at the
discretion of the secretary, that
these notes be legal tender for all
public and private debts except
when otherwise stipulated in the
contract, and may be used by a
bank as a part of its reserve.
Section 3 provides that 100000
ounces of silver bullion should be
coined into dollars every month
until July 1, 1891 and after that

DRAGGED BY THE TRAIN.
Revolving Suicide of a Prisoner in Ne.
vada.
From the Reno, nevada Gazette.

From the Reno, Nevada Gazette
"The overland train recently
picked up two persons at Palli-
SADIE, a convict for the state prison
in charge of Deputy Sheriff Allen.
There were several passengers in
the smoking-car, and at the Hum
boldt House Dan Staples got on,
| going to Lovelocks. He has
charge Of some cattle feeding there,
and had his leather RATA with
| him, which he threw down near the
door when he entered the car. AL
most every one seemed to be ac-
quainted with every one else, and
during a general conversation
among trainmen, newsboys, pas
sengers and all, the prisoner asked
permission to step out on the plat
form.
AS the train was flying along at
rapid rate nothing was thought
of it and but little attention was
paid to his movements. AS he
passed through the car he picked
up Staples ropes and stepping out
on the platform, tied one end to
the rail, slipped the moose over his
head and threw himself off. A boy
who saw him fall says he bounced
like a ball; when the slack in the
fifty-foot rope was taken up it
jerked him along like a blown-Np
bladder, only touching the ground
at long intervals and then flying
again into the air, raising a dust
and leaving more or less of his
clothing every time. Some ladies
in the rear car, saw the bundle
bounding along near the platform
of their car and when they finally
discovered that it was a living man
they were SO Mortified at the spec
tacle presented that it was some
time before they gave the alarm.
The train was rolling down
Ornea hill at full speed, and the
effect Of dragging poor wretch
over the ground by leather rope
fastened around his neck can be
better imagined than described.
The dust and dirt was soon tinged
with red, and the mass began to
assume a darker shade as the
blood came through, the stained
and collected soil enveloping the
now thorougly demoralized
body. The terrible strain, com
bined with the severe beating soon
began to tell, and there was a
lengthening and drawing out visi-
Bile. The whole frame was limp
as a rag, and it looked as if every
bone was broken. The train was
finally stopped and the battered
and bruised body which by this
time had become unreeegnizable
and almost torn from the head,
was gathered up and taken on the
platform. The cruel rope had cut
the flesh and could not be worked
loose for q time"

ters. While there he determined
to look for the woman. After
careful search he found three huts
made of whale-ribs and brush, and
from where they stood extended
an open plain in the center of
which Nidever saw the object of
his journey. The woman's dress
was made of skins and feathers, and
her hair hung in tanged masses
from her bare head. When dis
covered, she was cutting blubber
from seal which she had killed,
but on seeing her visitor she re-
ceived him with every manifesto
ton of delight, and readily ac-
companied him to his boat. Signs
were made for her to enter it, and
on her doing SO, Nidever sailed
for the bay, and brought his charge
to San Barbara.
Her arrival there created great
excitement and hundreds called at
house to see her. AL
though she could not have been
more than 80 years old, she was
gray-haired and emaciated. Her
expression was one of the blank
ignorance and her skin was dry
and wrinkled: Her Language,
as it may seem, consider
ing the comparatively short time
she had been lost, was unintelligi-

themselves master Of every Indian

day in 1886 is matter Of pure

human instincts, and to every

PROPOSED SHUT DOWN
It VIII Throw About 5000 People
Out of Employment.

New YORK, July IA special
to the Tribune from Boston says:
The directors of the Amoskeag
Mills at Manchester, N. H today
decided to shut down the entire
during August. This throws s.
900 people out of employment and
takes out of circulation in this
city $4,000 in wages. The Man.
chester mills have not followed
suit; but it is not known how long
it will be before they will. The
Amory corporation are understood
to be better off, their being good
demand for their goods. In an
interview Mr.. Straw and directors
Of the Amoskeag company stated
that the congestion Of the market
was the reason for the shut down.
The Amoskeag corporation is the
largest single cotton manufactur-
ing concern in the world and its
proposed action has produced the
utmost depression in Manchester,
as it furnishes in a large measure
the financial life for this city of
$4,000 Its pay roll amounts to
~, 100000, per annum.

A FEMALE CRUsoE
A Story of the Lost Woman of San

The recent earthquake and cleo

island, near Santa Barbara, has re-
viyed interest in the story of the
old Indian woman who led Cru
soc life on the island for many
years and who was finally removed
to Santa Barbara only to die from
the effects of unaccustomed eiyiliza-
tion. The following sketch of this
female Crusoe is from "Santa Bar

On the smallest island was en-
acted the tragedy OF the Lost
Woman Of San Nicolas" which at
Santa Barbara is a familiar tale.
The story begins with the removal
of a number Of Indians from San

were embarking one Of the women

left behind. Returning for it, she
was abandonedb by her companions,
