AN IMPORTANT RULING.
Made by Secretary Smith on the Rights
Settlers on Grant Lands.

-
Made by Secretary Smith on the Rights OF
Settlers on Grant Lands.
WASHINGTON, July THE celebrated
"Guilford Miller case" which involves the
rights Of 30 many settlers on railroad
grants. has received IN official ruling. II
was done upon motion for review in the
case Of Charles Cole VI. the Northern Pa
oiao company. which involves the ruling OF
the department in the case Of the Northern
Pacific VS.. Guilford Miller, and in which
counsel for the railroad company asked
shat the decision in the GuiIford Miller
case be reversed. Secretary Hoke Smith
has affirmed the decision Of the depart
ment. heretofore rendered, in the last
named case. so far as il held that the statu-
tory withdrawal provided for by the sixth
section of tho act of July 2. 1864, to the
Northern Pacific Railroad company. upon
filing the map Of general route, became
effective in Washington territory when the
map OF July 80. 1870, was filed and APP
proved, and that said withdrawal once K
ercised thereby was exhausted and could
not be repealed. The secretary holds that
his second filing, made Feb. 81, 1872, in said
territory, was without validity or sanction
OF law, either as an executive or legislative
withdrawal. He further held that the map
Of July 80. 1870. in the then territory
of Washington, WAS. as shown by the Ger
tiacate of the chief engineer of the CON-
pany. the result of surveys and explora-
tions made for the purpose of determining
the proper location of the road, and indi-
Gated with the certificates the intention of
the company that the route thus designated
should be the general route contemplated
by tho act upon which the legislative with
drawal should take effect. As the case of
Cole is controlled by the ruling upon the
first proposition. it is concluded to be uu-
upon the question aa to the Sec
Rotary to withdraw lands within the indem-
nifty limits Of this road after definite loca-
ton therefor; and hence no decision is
upon this potut

IT is said that the first business before
the senate will be the admlasion or 70,
lection OF senatorial appointees. This
question should certainly BIO disposed Of
before the repeal Of tho Sherman law ID
considered. II Mr.. Mantle is to be nd.
mitted Montana is entitled to his as
sistance at tho earliest hour. Moreover,
the silver views OF the neyeral ap-
pointees ehould cut no figure in deter
mining their rights to seats. This must
be settled with the highest regard for
the laws and precedents Of the senate.
1t is too serious a question to be juggled
BY politicians.

The Pine Ridge Trouble.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-Miss G. S. Sickles,
who has been among the Indians in the
interest of the worlds fair, says of the
Pine Ridge trouble:
Despite what the telegraphic reports
say to-the contrary, the event of few
days ago is only the prelude to an out
break which will have far-reaching re-
suits. The warriors of Pine Ridge are
stealthily and Systematically organizing
under such men as Red Cloud, who,
while keeping their persons far from the
scene of action, are stirring up the feel
ings of their followers with view to
bringing about bloodshed. AS a matter
of fact. the disafection which resulted
in the rebellion of two years ago has
never been checked. It was simply
suppressed for the time and is sure to
break out again with added force. The
ghost songs are again being sung as
means of organization, and in every
camp is the apparent hostile spirit
which showed itself two years ago
against every white person."
Miss Sickles says the disaffection is
due in a measure to the dishonesty OF
certain officials, against whom some SEN
sational charges will be brought in the
near future.

A Legend OF The Gods. It's Discovery.
7 New York, Feb. 9.--The Times
special from Durango, Mexico, says !:
The Hon. Juan Manuel Flores. governor
of the state Of Durango, announces that
he has discovered what he believes to be
the famous mountain of gold, the legend
of which is a household story in every
part of Mexico. He says that, whether
or not the discovery is that of the lost
mountain, it is one of the largest and
richest in the state of Durango, as has
been demonstrated by explorations of
numerous veins of gold, all of which con-
verge into the supposed gold mountain.
The governor has not divulged the To-
cation of his valuable find, but it is
said to be in the first range OF the Sierra
Madre mountains, within so leagues OF

Drain Of American Gold to Europe Ex-
hansted the Resources.
THE SECRET BEEN WELL KEPT.
Agreements by Foreign Bankers To-day
for the Shipment OF Gold Next Sat-
urday---Minor Mention.

New YORK, Feb. S.-A local paper in
the morning will say that the United
States treasury is practically empty of
to come to the relief of the government.
1t is serious situation that confronts
the secretary of the treasury and the
financiers of the country. The drain of
American gold coin to Europe has at
last exhausted the resources of the gov
ernment, and private stores in the vaults
of the banks are drawn upon to tide over
the emergency. The secret has been
we'll kept, but of the So 800, 900 in Amer
can gold that was shipped to Europe last
Saturday s2,000,00O was loaned to the
subtreasury by the banks of this city.
The entire supply of gold IN the vaults
of the United States treasury today IN
reduced to sos, ,176, ,93S. OF this only
$9,176,938 is free gold; the remainder,
500, ,000,O 900, must be by law held in the
treasury for the redemption of a like
amount of legal tender notes which have
been issued against it. Nor has the
drain of gold stopped. There were agree
| ments by foreign bankers today for the
shipment of s3 900, 900 in gold next Sat-
urday. Other shipments will probably
be heard from tomorrow and it is the
impression in Wall street today that
this weeks exports will reach about $5,-
100000. This would leave only little
over So ,OOo, 900 of free gold in the treas
ury, probably hardly sufficient for sim
gle weeks supply. Since Monday the
actual shortssteiling rates of exchange
have been up from $4.s714 to $4.sS, less
commission. George G. Williams, pres
ident of the New York Clearing-hous
association, and also president of the
Chemical National bank, spent a great
deal of time yesterday arranging for q
further loan of gold to the treasury de-
partment. He went to several banks
and appealed that for the public good
they should join in contributing of their
gold reserves enough to keep up the sup
ply of free gold in the treasury to meet
all demands until steps can be taken to
otherwise meet the emergency. It il
understood that the appeals were sue
cessful in all instances. Four banks
/ had already advanced 81, 600, 900 of gold
last Friday to help meet the demands
for Saturdays exports.

Do you wish to know the quickest way
to cure coldf We will tell you. To
cure cold quickly, it must be treated
before the cold has become settled in the
system. The first symptoms of cold
is dry, loud cough and sneezing- The
cough is soon followed by watery ex-
pectoration and the sneezing by pro-
fuse watery disehargefrom the nose. In
severe cases there is thin white coating
on the tongue. What to do7 It is only
necessary to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in double does every hour.
That will greatly lessen the severity of
the cold and in many cases will effectu-
