UMATILLA INDIAN CITIZENS.
EFFECT OF A JUDGES DECISION IN
THE CASE OF AN OREGON
TRIBE.
The WHITE PEOPLE FEAR THE
RESULTS OF SO RADICAL
A CHANGE.

PENDLEToN, Or, March 10. Umatilla
County had an addition to its citizenship
of 1000 Indians yesterday when Judge Fee
rendered his decision. The effect of this
decision, no doubt, if sustained by the
higher courts, will be to remove all restric-
tions from the Umatilla Indians, except in
handling their lands, which were allotted
under condition.
The Indian chiefs who have been under
arrest for defying the authority of the In
dian Court were Immediately released and
a council called at Young Chiefs camp,
fifteen miles above the agency, of all the
Indians to consider matters.
Near the agency Captain Richards has
camped with Troop D, Fourth Cavalry,
from Fort Walla Walla, accoutered for
heavy service. Agent Harper said: 81
called for the troops because Judge Fee s
decision removes all my authority over the
Indians. No power now exists to prevent
the Indians becoming intoxicated and en-
dangering the lives of all on the reserva-
ton. They are now free to follow their
natural inclinations and drift back to
savagery."
This radical change in the relations of
the Indians to the people of this county
renders some people timid. There are
expressions of fear that dire results may
follow. The Indian agent under the new
regime can merely rent the Indian lands
to whites. The Indian Court is done away
with, the Indian policemen are discharged
and the State courts have compl etc and
sole Jurisdiction.

SUICIDE OF AN IOWA FORGER.
A BLACKSMITH DEFRAUDS A BANK
DURING A PERIOD OF
THREE YEARS.
WHEN AN OFFICER TRIES TO AR.
REST HIM THE CRIMINAL
SHOOTS HIMSELF.

OMAHA, March 10.-At Cromwell, little
town near Creston, Iowa, Dave Blossar, a
prominent citizen, committed suicide yes
terday while an officer was trying to arrest
him. 1t developed to-day that Blossar
was forger, but to what extent is not
definitely known and probably never will
be.
The Creston National Bank became
aware that it had collateral on Blossar that
was forged and the Investigations revealed
that the populations of Blossar extended
over period of three years. All this time
Blossar bore the best reputation.
1t is variously estimated that Blossar's
forgeries will reach $4,000. Besides he has
borrowed large sums from wealthy citizens
on his own notes. These notes will prob
ably reach $4,000.
Last evening the Creston National Bank
of this city filed attachments against
Blossar for $3.50, the amount that Blossar
has forged on the bank. When the officer
went to the blacksmith-shop owned by
Blossar to arrest him. he endeavored to
evade the officer and failing, drew a revol-
yer and shot himself in the right temple.
1t was learned that within week he at
tempted to commit suicide by taking
strvchnine.

A LANDSMAN'S MARINE BILL
THE PROPOSED LAW IN CONFLICT
WITH FEDERAL STATUTES.

SACRAMENTO, March 10.-This is the text
of queer proposition advanced in a bill
framed by Senator Seymour of San Ber-
nardino:
Section l. That new section be added to
the Political Code, to be known and numbered
as Section 246615.
Sec. 2. Section 246615: All vessels entering
any port or harbor in this State, built on the
Pacific Coast, or whose home port is in this
State, shall be exempt from all the provisions
of Section 2466 of the Political Code.
Sec. 3. All acts or parts of acts in conflict
with this act are hereby repealed.
Sec. 4. This act shall take effect and be in
force from and after its passage.
Ostensibly the bill has for its object the
worthy purpose of encouraging the home
merchant marine. The effect of the bill
would be to exempt vessels referred to in
the act from the pilotage charges collected
on foreign and Atlantic shipping coming
to San Francisco or other California ports.
But there is a snag which the bill will en-
counter in United States statute.
An act relating to pilots and pilot regu-
lations approved April 13, 1866, by the
President of the United States, reads as
follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and the House OF
Representatives of the United States o1
America in Congress assembled, that no regu
lations or provisions shall be adopted by any
State OF the United States of America which
shall make any discrimination in the rate Of
pilotage or half pilotage between vessels sail
ing between the ports of one State and vessels
sailing between the ports of different States, OIL
any discrimination against vessels propelled In
whole or in part by steam or against national
vessels of the United States, and all existing
regulations or provisions making such dis
elimination as herein mentioned are hereby
annulled and abrogated.
Notwithstanding this plain Federal
statute, an attempt is being made to pass
the bill. 1t has been made a case Of
urgency on the Senate file, has been read
the first time, and will come up for second
reading omorrow. 1t also has a favorable
recommendation from the Committee or
Labor and Capital.

SEQUEL TO A QUARREL.
AdmOnitiOnS Of Her Lover to
Reform Her Ways Made
Her Angry.
WOULD NOT HEED HIS WORDS
After Leaving Him She Buys Car
bOliC Acid and Swallows the
Fatal Draught.

SACRAMENTO, March 10.-A young woman
named George Montgomery ended her
life this morning by swallowing the con-
tents OF a twO-ounce vial of carbolic acid
at the residence of her parents, 1113% H
street in this city. The cause of the act is
supposed to be misunderstanding which
she is reported to have had with her lover,
who is employed in a downtown barber
shop.
The girl left her home Saturday evening
at o'clock, apparently in the best OF
spirits. She promised to return at an early
hour. About midnight the girls mother
was awakened by her cries for help, and
rushing into her daughters room, found
her tossing in agony upon her couch. She
asked what was the matter, and was horri-
fled TO learn that the daughter had taken
poison. The services OF q physician were
procured, but every antidote applied was
Intellectual and she soon died.
Miss Montgomery's parents are respect
able people, her father being an old resi-
dent of Sacramento, who several years
back was engaged in the undertaking busi-
ness, but at present is in the employ of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company as a
carpenter. The girl herself has been way
ward and has associated with unworthy
characters. In fact, the misunderstanding
she had with her lover was on account OF
her associates and because she had been
seen in a dancehouse. Before she left home
last night her mother besought her to give
up her method of life and she would en-
deavOr 10 furnish her ample means for en-
jOvment

LITTLE HOPE FOR THEM.
Rescuing Parties Have Not
Been Able to Enter the
Fiery Shaft.
THEY ARE ALL C0oL.HEADED.
One Man Fell Two Hundred Feet,
but Recovered and Escaped
Through the Tunnel.

DENVER, March 10.-A special to the
Rocky Mountain News from White Oaks,
n. Mex, says: At 3 o'clock this morning
fire broke out in the changeroom of the
hoisthouse at the Old Abe mine and in
few moments the structure, large and
well built one was a mass of flames 1t
was completely destroyed, together with
the wood and smith shops, The mill,
sixty feet away, escaped without damage.
The woodwork of the shaft was burned out
and the hoisting machinery destroyed.
The damage runs high up into the
thousands, but the most distressing fea-
ture is that eight men are imprisoned in
the dark depths whose fate is unknown.
There is little ground for hope that they
have escaped suffocation. 1t will not be
possible to enter the mine TO search for
them until some time tomorrow.
Rescuing parties have been unable to get
down further than the third level by the
air-shaft. The smoke and gases from the
charred wood of the hoist-shaft have pene-
trated the upper levels and it is impos-
sible to pass them.
The entombed men are: Charles Sher-
rick, w. J. Williams, Frank Wilson, John
Davis, George Baxter, -. White, Jerry
Conver and W. B. Mitchell
Williams and Sherrick are old miners of
experience and have faced like dangers be-
fore. They are cool-headed, and if any
place of safety was to be found they
found it.
The fire drove the engineer from the
hoist while George Wilkinson was going
down in the bucket. He had reached the
ninth level when the hoist was abandoned
and was shot down 200 feet to the thir-
teenth, where the bucket struck, tipped
and threw him into the drift. He was
stunned, but recovered, climbed back to
the second level and escaped by the air
shaft.
This is the only serious mining accident
here since the burning of the South Home
stake shaft several years ago, when two
men were smothere.

PROF. HOLDEN's REPORT.
The Disk of the Orb Was Wis
ible at All Times During
Totality.
THIN HAZE OBsCUREs THE SKY.
A Clear Atmosphere at Sacramento
Enables the People to Obtain
a Good View.

LICK OBSERVATORY, Mount Hamilton,
Cal, March 1O.-The total eclipse of the
moon, which occurred this evening, was OBJ
served at the Lick Observatory under
somewhat unfavorable circumstances, the
sky being obscured during the entire time
by a thin haze.
The moon was obscured by half the
earths shadow when it appeared at Oh.
0m., Pacific standard time. Totality began
at 6h. Sim. 55s., and lasted until 8h. Pm.
30s. The moon left the earth's shadow at
Oh. 25m. 20s., and the penumbra about
10h. 35m.
The moons disk was visible at all times,
being conspicuous a greater portion of
totality. The color of the unobscured por-
ton of the disk varied from yellow to a
light coppery hue. The times at which
the edge of the shadow passed across some
of the prominent craters were noted and
the times of occultation of several small
stars were observed.

MUCH BUSINESS ON HAND
1t May Be Necessary to Con-

Another Week.
sEYMoUR's STRANGE BILL
The San Bernardino Senator's Bill
Which Is In Conflict With Fed
eral Statutes.

SACRAMENTO, March 10.-It was decided
by the Senate Judiciary Committee to-
night to fix arbitrarily the classification
scale of the county government bill.
This was the subject which was referred
to the Judiciary Committee last night by
the Senate. A proposition was offered to
estimate the population of the various
counties by multiplying the vote cast for
Governor in the last general election by
five. This was objected to as an unconsti-
tutional provision. In order to determine
the class to which a county shall belong
the committee estimated population for
each classification, so that practically the
estimate is made for each of the fifty-seven
counties.
In some instances the last Federal CEN
sus figures are taken for the basis of the
estimate. This was the case in San Fran
cisco, as the first class is determined to
have population in excess of 29S, 900. Los
Angeles is made the second class, with a
population estimated at 124, 900, and Ala
media takes third rank, though the actual
difference in population between the two
counties is slight one
Senator Beard and Assemblyman Fas-
sett were discussing the salary schedule
for Alameda County to-day. Assembly
man Fassett thinks the salaries are too
high and will make an effort in the lower
House for a reduction.
The talk of an early adjournment is dy-
ing out. The really important bills to be
considered are the county government bill,
the general appropriation bill, the National
Guard bill and the bill to enable the valley
road to secure terminal facilities in San
Francisco. They might be disposed of this
week, but hardly before Saturday, so there
is little likelihood of the Assembly concur
ring in the Senate resolution to adjourn on
Thursday.
Many of the Assemb biymen who have
local bills in which they are deeply inter
ested and see little hope of securing their
passage are talking tonight of continuing
the session into next week.

BURNING Of A HIGH SCHOOL
EXPLOSION OF CHEMICALS IN A
TOLEDO EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTION.
COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE
HANDSOME AND VALUABLE
EDIFICE.

TOLEDO, Ohio, March 10.-The Toledo
High School building, four-story brick
structure occupying the square bounded
by Madison, Adams, Michigan and Tenth
streets, and one of the best appointed edu-
cational institutions in this part of the
country, was almost completely destroyed
by fire between l and o'clock this Mon
day. morning.
A little before o'clock an explosion that
blew out part of the east wing of the build
ing startled the few pedestrians who hap
pened to be on the street, and a mo-
ment later fire burst out in the heart OF
the structure. The flames spread so rapidly
that before an alarm could be given the
main part of the building was doomed.
The explosion was caused by chemicals
in the laboratory. The loss is estimated at
$l50,000; insurance not known.

NEWS OF THE MAYNARD
THE POLITICAL HEADSMAN'S AK
Is STILL IN FULL
SWING.
A NEW NAVAL CONSTRUCTOR TO
ARRIVE Soon FROM THE
NORFOLK YARD.

VALLEJO, March 10.-The political heads
mans ak seems to be still swinging, as
during the past week four messengers felt
the effect of its keen edge, and their places
have been filled by those of another politi-
cal faith.
1t is believed by many that within
month the Board of Labor will be abol-
ished.
Naval Constructor William J. Baxter,
q. S. N, is announced TO come to the
navy-yard as head of the Department of
Construction and Repair, vice the late
Naval Constructor S. w. Armistead. Con-
structor Baxter has recently been at the
Norfolk yard.
The Bennington IS expected to arrive
shortly at the yard, and it will then be
seen just what is the matter with her boil
ers. She will be taken in dock and have
a coat of fresh paint, and her valves will be
overhauled.
Orders have been issued to have the
Monterey ready to leave the yard by the
Goth inst. She will probably go to San
Francisco and remain there for a few
weeks. The ordnance alterations in her
turrets are nearly com pleted.
The increase of men for the navy seems
to meet with general favor with the Off
GERS, as it will offer an opportunity to COM
mission the Marion, which for the past
months has been only waiting for crew.
The Boston will also have an opportunity,
when her repairs are completed, to be put
in commission.
The cruiser Olympia has been shifted
and is now loaded with coal.
The Albatross will probably come out of
the drydock the latter part of the week.
Work on the tug for the yard is pro-
all the material on hand.
Nearly 100 men are engag ged on the
Hartford tearing up her berth and spar
decks.
Work of driving piling about the dry
dock continues right along. The locomo-
tive jib crane, to be run on the track to be
laid on the pile foundation, has not yet
been received, though it should have ar
rived from the East long ago.
Pay Inspector r. w. Allen left for
Washington the first of last week and
Paymaster a. w. Bacon is now perform
ing duty on the Olympia. For the present
his family will reside in Vallejo.
After this week the address of Com
mander and Mrs. J. ]. Brice will be at
Santa Barbara, where they will remain for
awhile.
Lawn tennis is the principal pastime for
the ladies and gentlemen at the yard and
stationed on the ships during the present
beautiful weather.

CHICAGO, March 1O.-The eclipse tonight
was viewed at the Northwestern University
observatory at Evanstown by Director
George w. Hough and others.
The moon entered the penumbra at 7:30
o'clock. The first contact when the moon
entered the shadow took place at 7:45.
Professor Hough photographed the lunar
disk in partial eclipse and later secured six
photographs at various points of contact.
The total eclipse took place at 1852. The
third contact, when the moon began to
emerge, was at 10:47 and the fourth con-
tact occurred at IL :35.
After the first half hour the sky was re-

ANTHRACITEl NINE BURYING.
The Worst Fire in Years Raging n, Le-
high Fallen.

HAzELToN, Pa, March 10-The worst
mine fire in the anthracite region for some
time is now raging in the Hazelton slope
of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company.
When the fire broke out, six weeks ago, it
was at first thought to be of little conse-
quence. The slope was closed shortly
afterward. Since then hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been spent in efforts
to subdue the flames. The chances of get
ting the fire out soon are dubious.
The mine was the most valuable oper-
ated by the company, employing HOO men.
The subterranean openings connect the
Hazelton mines with three other valuable
properties, and these latter are also in
danger. 1t is estimated that before the
outbreak itself shall have been overcome
81, 100000 will have to be expended.
