Secretary of Agriculture in reply to the
resolution of Senator Pettigrew, calling

ible supply of wheat, has been submit
ted to the Senate. The total supply

SAN Francisco The United States
Circuit Court Of Appeals has affirmed
the decision OF the lower court in the
suit Of the government against Dunham,
Carrigan, Hayden & Co. for the confis-
cation OF cargo OF nails. Two years
ago, when the Transcontinental Associa-
ton OF Railways, the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company and the clipper ship COM
bine kept up rates from New York to
San Francisco, the firm OF Durham,
Carrigan, Hayden & Co. discovered that
it was cheaper to ship goods from New
York TO Europe and thence by sail to
San Francisco than to ship by the COM
bined railways or steamers direct to San
Francisco. Acting on this discovery,
they shipped big lot OF goods by Bel
gian steamer TO consignee in Antwerp
in bond. They were put aboard O for
eign sailing vessel there and shipped to
this city. After much OF the shipment
had been landed, Collector Of the Port
Phelps seized the first lot that followed.
The lower court decided that Dunham,
Carrigan, Hayden & Co. was lawfully
entitled to ship as it had, and that such
shipments did not violate the letter OF
coastwise laws, which require trade be-
tween American ports to be conducted
in American vessels. The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals finally upheld
the lower court. Judges McKenna and
Gilbert rendered the decision.

WASHINGTON CITY.--In the matter of
the appeal of the State OF Oregon from
the decision of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office, rejecting its appli-
cation to select certain school indemnity
lands within the limits of the grant to
the Oregon and California railroad, the
Secretary OF the Interior reverses the ac-
ton of the Land Commissioner. The
Secretary's decision will affect numerous
similar cases before the department as
well as reopen others already decided by

CHICAGO. There is trouble brewing
among the students at the Woman's Col
lege, section of the Northwestern Uni
versity in Evanston. The young women
are now allowed to read only those pa
pers from which all accounts Of the
Breckinridge-Pollard case have been
clipped, and as consequence many
harsh things have been said and many
indignant tears have been shed. Three
weeks ago the newsboys in Evanston
suddenly experienced boom in BUSH
ness. Every morning and evening the
carriers staggered toward the Woman's
College under huge pile of papers, and
returned empty-handed. just what it
was the girls were interested in was for
time only surmised, but it has leaked
out that it was the racy accounts of the
famous breach-of-promise case that the
young women were after. Saturday
night the Dean, Emily Huntington Mil
Ter, and an assistant surprised roomful
of young women listening with bated
breath while one of their number was
reading the most sensational part of Col.
Breckinridge's confession. When the
newsboys went heavily laden to the col
lege next morning they were unceremo-
niously elected by the janitor without
the sale of paper, and the girls have
not since been allowed to see a paper
except those from which all reference to
the case has been clipped.

wenatchee-conconully Mail Route.


WASHINGTON CrTY.-Senator Squire
is working hard in the endeavor to Sc
cure a new mail route from Wenatchee
in Kittitas county via Knapp's Ferry,
Lakeside, Chelaa, Methow river, Vir-
ginia City, Ophir, Malott, Clover and
Ruby to Conconully, q service which is
greatly desired by the people living in
these towns and along this route. Bet
ter mail facilities are greatly needed
throughout that section, and petitions
from that section have been supple
mented by one from the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce. Seattle is the natural
base of supplies for Okanogan and Kit
titas counties, and many of her citizens
who are interested in mining and in the
development of the country would be
benefited by this service. All these facts
have been laid before the Postmaster
General and, it is hoped, will have the
desired effect.

A STORM CLOUD is again gathering In
Alabama The opposition to the Demo
crazy OF that state has again been de-
frauded Of its rights, and it now looks as
though forbearance had ceased to be a
virtue. Two years ago when Kolb was
undoubtedly elected governor, he and
his friends submitted to the counting out
process in the interest Of peace and on
the promise of the Democrats that they
would pass such election laws as would
insure fair play ia the future. Treach-
erous az usual they did not do it, The
tone Of the convention Of KOlbites which
Assem- bled at Montgomery last Monday
night indicates that they do not intend to
yield SO easily this time. There may be
bloodshed IN Alabama yet It does seem
that the people down there are pow er-
less to obtain justice IN any other way.
