Amenabllitv of Regular Troops.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA very impor-
tant opinion as to the amenability of of
ficers of the regular army to the juris-
diction of municipal courts was rendered
today. In response to request from
the secretary of war, the attorney-gene-
raj rendered an opinion to the effect that
the expression claws of the land" in
the 59th article of war, includes city or
dinances and bylaws, and therefore
that a soldier may be arrested, tried and
punished by the proper civil authorities
for the violation of a city ordinance, and
that if he escapes to a military reserva-
ton, his surrender may be demanded by
the proper civil authorities, and should
be made by the military officer in COM
mand." This opinion, if sustained, will
have far-reaching effect upon the use
of soldiers in organized municipalities,
army officers fearing that in certain
cases the army will be powerless to act
in cases of disorder similar to that which
existed in Chicago, if board of alder
men pass an ordinance prohibiting the
public appearance of troops under arms.

GuatemaIans Killing Mexicans on the

Cry OF MEXICO, Dec. 7.-The latest
reports from the Guatemalan frontier
state Mexican colonel, member of the
staff of General Lullane, has been assas-

official sources it is learned company of
170 Mexicans had skirmish with 400
Guatemalan guerrillas, in which two
Mexican soldiers were killed. This par
ticular body of mounted Gautemalans
are reported still lowering about the
vicinity of the Mexican troops, but it is
believed, after making the attack, they
retired to the Guatemalan side of the in
ternational line. Should official inform
alton confirm these reports it is highly
probable the Mexican government will
at once demand reparation in a salts
factory manner for the outrages.

John Tutaka Accused CT Having Muir.
dered Tony Berwick.
WILKEs-BARRE, Sept. 2.-What has
turned out to be fendish murder has
led to the capture of John Tutaka, of
Port Bowkley. Anthony Berwick, q
resident Of Midvale, was struck by an
electric car on Friday night
near his home and died soon
afterward without recovering con-
seriousness. From the peculiar po-
sition in which the body lay on the
track and the fact that there was no
scream of pain or fright when the ac =
cident occurred, the conductor sus-
peoted foul play, and notified the au-
thorities. A detective was put on the
case and he found clue which led to
the arrest of Tutaka.
On Friday night Tutaka and Berwick
had quarrel and came to blows. Dur
ing the fight Tutaka beat Berwick over
the head with fence picket until the
latter fell senseless. Tutaka is said to
have then placed the unconscious man
directly across the ear track and run
away.

Residents Of PokegRma Are In Dauge r
of Starvation.
MORA, Mimi, Sept. 2.-One hundred
and forty-sight bodies have been taken
out Of Hiuckley and places in the vicin-
ity. The nearby town Of Pokegama is
wiped out. The Eastern Minnesota
train, which left st. Paul at 05 yes
terday afternoon and arrived at Hinck-
ley at 6 o'clock last night, took 300 pso-
pie on board and moved westward
toward St. Cloud. The train has not
been heard of since. 1t has not reached
st. Cloud and it has not gone back to
Hinckley. There is general fear that
it has been burned with all on board.
There is no chance that they are alive
unless they haye found q stream or
slough into which they could 60 and
escape the fire. Every family In Poke
CANA is homeless and in danger of
starving to death.
A freight train is in the ditch one
and half miles west OF Pokegama.
Twenty-Five people are in the caboose
and the fire is all around them. If
they are not rescued soon all must
perish. Hans Nelson, section foreman
at Pokegama, started away yesterday
with his family on hand car TO escape
the fire and nothing has since been seen
or heard Of them. 1t is certain they
have perished.

CAUSE OF THE HAZE.
Scientific Men Declare That We Are
Not Passing Through a
Comets Tail.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-The peculiar
haze that has been noticeable in the
sky all over the country for the last
week or so has been matter Of great
interest to meteoroligists. and many
experiments have been going on In
different observatories of the country
to determine its cause and nature,
The weather bureau officials, whose re.
ports on the weather conditions are
daily read throughout the United
States. have been making observations
of this phenomenon, and the opinions
Of two of the professors of meteoroloRy
were given today to reporter for the
United Prssa
Prot. Henry A Hazen said: "fhis Is
what is called the Indian summer dry
haze. Just what is the cause of it, it
is little difficult to determine, al
thou III similar conditions have been
noticed In the past.
ut is probably caused every year by
a settlement Of dust or smoke particles.
The air is generally quiet, and there
are no conditions which would precipi.
tate the particles causing the hazs or
carry tn0m 10 otner regions. Inc con-
ditions east of the Mississippi river arc
unquestionably due to forest fires just
as 10 1881 and 1881.
"The theory advanced that the pres
ent haze is caused by the earth passing
through the tail Of comet is entire ly
erroneous. The material in the tail of
a comet could not possibly produce such
an effect as that. This is a condition
purely terrestrial. The stars can be
seen through the densest tail of a
comet"
Professor Cleveland Abbe. Of the
weather bureau, who has made spec
ial rusearch into this smoke said /:
There is eveIy reason to believe that
all of the smoke haze which now covers
the country is the result of the diffus-
ion of the smoke of burning forests and
crops. A comparatively little fire will
make large quantity of dense smoke,
unless it 10 widely diffused by strong
winds, in which case the smoke become 8
like the thin haze Of the Indian sum-
msr. 1t will doubtless all be cleared
away by the action Of the frat general
storm that sweeps over the country.

SAMOA HEARD FROM.
Big Powers of Europe Liable to En-
gage in War Over the
Islands.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sspt 2.-The
news from Berlin that sixty-two for
eignsrs in Samoa, including two En-.
glishman and one American, have
asked the German government, to an
mex the islands is all the more slgnifi
cant in view Of the present attitude of
the United States concerning Samoan
affairs. Samoa and this country have
practically parted company. No Un-
tied States warship is kept at
Apia and probably none will be
sent there during this administration
except for the protection Of the lives
and property of Americans in the
event of hostlities. That the United
States government has abandoned its
share in the triplicate protectorate
over the Samoan islands is now ac-
eepted as fact in diplomatic circles,
and .the opportunities such a course
opens for the other parties to the
agreement are emphasized by the peti.
tion to Emperor William.
In his last annual message to con-
gress President Cleveland showed
clearly what would be the attitude of
this government, in our relation with
Samoa, as outlined by Secretary Gres-
ham. In effect the policy adopted is
that it is unwise for the United States
to msddle 10 the effsirs of Samoa be
cause the islands are too far away to
do us any good and that a continuation
of the protectorate is a constant me-
nance to American peace. 1t will be
interesting to note however, what the
attitude of the United States will be il
Germany acts favorsbly on the the
petition presented to its emperor and
attempts to annex Samoan territory.
But whatever the policy of this Gov
ernment should such an attempt be
made, IL is certain that Great Britain
will not submit tamely to n surrender
OF Its rights in the protectorate, and it
is therefore likely that Samoa may soon
again be q center Of interest for the
civilized world,
