AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Secretary Smith Extends the Time for
Making Pre- Emption Payments.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Secretary
Hoke Smith has rendered decision on
appeal that will be OF interest to many
Western homesteaders. The case in
question was that of J. A. Wells of the
Alliance land district, Neb., who re-
quested an extension of time for max.
ing payment Oh his pre-emption claim.
The land office refused the request on
the ground that such extension could
be granted only in cases where in
ability to pay existed by reason of fail.
ure of crops.
In his decision Secretary Smith re.
versed this ruling and calls attention
to recent act of congress which ex
tends the time of final payment for one
year III cases where the entryman is
unable to make payment on account OF
any cause which he is unable to con.
troll. This law was passed in view OF
the financial distress prevailing
throughout the country last year.

PAPERMAkERS TO COMBINE.

Meeting of Prominent Manufacturers at
New York.
NEW YORK, June l5.-The Press says
a great trust is forming which has for
its object the entire control of the
wood pulp paper making industry in
the United States. Nearly all the
prominent paper men are at the New
Netherlands hotel, where a meeting
will be held for the purpose of mapping
out plan of campaign. Among the
principal members of the trust are
Messrs. T. S. Coolidge of the st. George
Paper company, +. H. Parks of Glen
Falls, J. Jerome of Bangor, H. M.
Knowles of Boston, R. M. Burbank of
the Burbank Paper company, and
Hugh J. Chisholm. They are ex-
tremely reticent concerning their plans,
though they admit that they intend to
com bine and obtain control of the paper
business. It is claimed that comb.
nation of interests will enable makers
to manufacture paper with greater
economy and consequently more profit
although it is said to be no part Of the
idea to raise prices.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 15.-Governor
Morrill, finds himself confronted with q
perplexing problem. His Legislative
committee which investigated the Pop.
ulist officers Of the state charitable in
stitutions has struck and refuses to

and an army of witnesses. About 1900

of which demand that the governor pay
their fees out Of the contingent fund

money at his disposal and refuses to
become personally responsible. Tho
committee announce that they are
ready to make q report and find all the
defendants guilty whenever their fees

BOILER WENT UP
Three-Story Building at Fall
River, Mass, Wrecked by
an Explosion.
EMPLOYEES IN THE RUINS
Four Taken Out Dead and
Two Others Probably
Fatally Hurt.

FALL RIVER, Mass, June 15.-By
the explosion of the boiler in Henry j.
Langley's loom, reed and harness fac.
tory on Coney street at $3.50 a. M, four
persons were killed and two probably
fatally hurt. The list of dead is as
follows: adele Dube, aged 20; Leila
Horton, aged II; Adolphe Bellfeuill. 40
years; Robert Murray, aged 81. The
seriously injured are: Thomas Barry
and Matte Duroches.
There were 30 people in the building
at the time Of the accident. Four were
burned beyond recognition, and IL es-
capped with hardly any injuries to speak
of. At exactly $3.50 o'clock the whols
eastern section of the city was shaken
as if by an earthquake. Five minutes
later the ruins were in flames. Citi-
zens assisted the fire department so ef'
fectively, however, that the
Fire Was Soon Under Control.
The first body recovered was that OF
Leila Horton, the next Adele Dube and
the third Robert Murray. Terribly
mangled and bruised they were depos-
tied in Star Music hall in charge of
Medical Examiner Dolan. Later a
fourth body. that Of Bellfeull, was dis
covered. The engineer, LIE Page, who
was in charge of the boiler, was at first
reported killed, but later turned up un-
hurt and was placed under arrest by
order of the medical examiner. He says
the boiler was five years old and had
not been inspected for long time. be
claims to have been near at hand when
it exploded and cannot explain why it
did so. He says he put water in the
boiler some time before the catastrophe.
The building which was demolished by
the explosion was 3-story affair OF
wood, 100 feet long by 1853 feet wide.
Mr.. Langley has no theory as to the
cause of the explosion. He says the
boiler had been inspected every year.

600. The action was brought in the

SILVER MEN ADJOURN.
The Usual Free Coinage Resolutions
Adopted.

Adopted.
MEMPHIS, June 15.-The silver con.
vention adjourned after adopting the
usual free coinage resolutions. The
most interesting thing about the con-
vention was the attempt of the silver
party men. under the leadership Of
Sibley of Pennsylvania, Tillman of
South Carolina, Butler of North Caro-
lima, Stewart of Nevada and Adams Of
Colorado, to have the convention de-
clare for a free silver party. The con-
servative element prevailed in the COM
mittee on resolutions, and the declara-
items of that body which were adopted
by ihe convention did not go beyond
strong presentation Of the free silver
views OF the gathering. But the con-
vention adjourns with schism in it..
One faction advocates the Sibley
idea" and the capture of the Demo-
cratic convention and. failing i'll that,
the independent political action. while
others were sighting the issue strictly
within party lines.

Scott case is being empanelled. A
committee OF citizens waited upon the
attorney general and urged him to dis
