Indians Object to the Government Sell
ing the Lands.
TACOMA, May 1.-The sale of land in
the Puyallup indian Reservation, under
the direction of the Government, was be-
gun here to-day, despite the protests of
large number of Indians, who threaten
to make trouble if any of the purchasers
of the land attempt to take possession,
The Puyallup Indians are recognized
by decision of the United States Circuit
Court as citizens, and they exercise all
the rights as such, with the single excep-
ton that land on their reservation Is held
in trust for them by the Government, the
Indians only being allowed to enter into
lease of the same for period not to ex-
ceed two years.
Great dissatisfaction exists among them
on this account. and when the sale OF
lands began to-day q squad OF redskins
. announced publicly that the whites had
better not buy any of the lands. john
Laclaire, one of the chiefs, said: ''The
land belongs to US. The white father
gave it TO the Indians. These men come
out here to sell it when we don't want
them to. We want to be let alone. We
are good Indians. If we want to sell
lands we sell, but the Government says
no. If the Government wants to sell
lands and we say no the Government
says sell, anyhow. The Indians don't
like that. No man can take the lands if
he buys; the Indians say so. We give
fair warning to men who buy to keep of
the lands and away from the reserva-
tion.o

OREGON SHORT LINE.
Effort to Have a separate Receive

Effort to Have a separate Receiver
for the Road.
ST. PAUL (Minn.), May 1.-The matter
of the application Of the Oregon Short
Line and Utah Northern Railway for a
separate receiver came on to be heard to-
day before Judge Sanborn In the United
States Circuit Court.
The motion is made by the American
Loan and Trust Company of Boston
through their attorneys, Davis, Kellogg
IL Severance of st. Paul and Mooretield
Storey and Henry d. Hyde of Boston.
The Trust Company is trustee Of what
is known as the consolidated mortgage
upon the Oregon Short Line and Utah
Northern road. amounting to Sl0,O0O,0O0.
The Union Pacific receivers, it is alleged,
have operated the Short Line solely in
paid no interest on the mortgages.
| In February an application was made
to Judge Gilbert in Oregon for the ap-
pOintment OF separate receiver, and be
appointed John NJ. Egan. The same ap-
pllcation is now being heard before Judge
San nborn. 1t is claimed that if separate
receivers are appointed the property will
pay sufficient to pay interest on the mort
cages. and there being default in the
mortgages, the American Loan and Trust
Company claims right Of possession.
Should the Short Line remain In the
hands of the present receivers it will
soon be lost to the Union Pacific. be-
cause mortgages are being foreclosed.
Attorneys opposing the application are
Wilson S. Pierce of New York and Sem
ator John NJ. Thurston of Omaha. Sem
ator Davis began arguments this morn
| ing, and will be followed by Mr.. Storey
and Mr.. Kellogg. Judge Sanborn has
given each side two days.

There was the usual cart-horse parade
Otherwise London wore its normal as

show that work proceeded as usual to-day
as a rule. There were few Socialist
labor meetings, but no incidents of inn
portance have been recorded.
PARIS, May 1.-The stores were open
here to-day, May Day. and the traffic
through the streets was as usual. Only a
few factories were closed.
VIENNA, May 1.-Most of the private
factories were closed to-day in order to
allow the employees to celebrate May
Day, but the Government workshops
were open. May Day meetings were
held here and in the neighborhood to-
day. The usual resolutions were passed
favoring eight hours as legal day 8
WORK; freedom of speech and universal
suffrage were adopted. In the Meidling
district crowd of people stoned the
police, ard several arrests were made in
consequence.
The Socialists of this city to-day held
an enormous demonstration, but the pro-
ceedings were orderly. The programme
included q march past Parliament.
The paraders were two hours in passing,
after which they proceeded to enjoy
themselves in the Prater. park and
forest outside of the city. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 persons took part in this
demonstration,

FAMINE AVERTED.
Difficulties Between San Francisco and
Contractors Adjusted.

Difficulties Between San Francisco and
Contractors Adjusted.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The difficulty
between the contractors for supplies and
the city of San Francisco has been ad-
iusted, and the threatened famine in the
jails, almshouse, hospitals and fire de-
partment has been averted. The con-
tractors have agreed. though with bad
grace, to carry out their contracts ard
furnish the city with supplies. The Aud
itor's threat 10 refuse to audit their de-
mands for April covering goods already
furnished has brought them to terms.
Rather than lose what is now due. they
will furnish necessary supplies during
the next fortnight at least.
They tried to make this agreement
conditional upon the Auditors pledge to
audit their April accounts, but the Aud
itor refused to bind himself by prom
ise. He told the contractors q refusal to
furnish any more supplies was breach
of their contracts, and that the city could
and would hold the money already due
them as damages for the breach OF con-
tract, throwing the burden of suit upon
them.
The contractors admit that they can
hardly go into court OF equity with their
own broken contracts as the basis OF a
suit. They will undoubtedly continue to
furnish supplies until the end OF the civic
wear in June, but it is not improbable
that the Auditor will withhold their
money until the completion Of another
months contract

FORT SCoTTs(K (Kas.), May 1.-At Hiatt
Vile, small village near here, half
dozen people are in dangerous condi-
ton. as result of the treatment admin
istered by haudome. stylishly dressed
woman, who came here several days ago
and advertised as Mrs. DR.. Alberta Ober-

from st. Louis. Many citizens visited
her. In extracting teeth she applied
some LIQUID to the gums OF number OF

they were invariably taken i'll, their faces

tongues swollen and their stomachs af-

Among those now in dangerous con-
dition are Taylor Pacton, pastor OF the
Methodist Church; Miss Myrtle Wal
lace, Miss Nora Hartwell, Mrs. William
Clarke and Lizzie Liddeli. Miss Liddell
is dying tonight and some of the others
may succumb before morning.
When the symptoms OF some of the
victims became serious local physicians
were called in, but despite all their efforts
the victims grew steadily worse. When
the local physicians declared that their
charges were suffering from poison in
ouiry was made for the woman dentist
and it was discovered that she had fled.
The Prosecuting Attorney caused war;
rant to be issued for her arrest, and tele-
grams for her apprehension have been
sent in all directions.

THE GOVERNMENTS SUIT.

Mrs. stanford Anxious to Have the
Case Against the Estate Heard.
WAsHINGToi-, May l. = Mrs. Leland
Stanford has arrived in Washington from
California. and had an interview with the
Attorney General regarding the Govern
ment's suit against her husbands estate.
She was particularly anxious to have the
suit expedited as rapidly as possible. Mr..
Olney assured her that he would give the
necessary instructions to the United
States Attorney at San Francisco.
ON account of bonds issued by the Gov
ernmeut to the Central Pacific Railroad
Company and the accrued interest. there
will soel become due the Government
about S6o, ,00O.OOU.
Under the laws of California, each stock
holder of the corporation is individually
liable for his proportion OF its debts. The
Stanford estate owns about quarter, OF
SI5. .O00, 900, of Central Pacific stock, hence
It's liability to that amount.
Suit was brought in anticipation OF tne
failure of the stockholders to meet this
obligation. 1t is thought the suit may
be brought up in the United States Su-
preme Court tor hearing at the next Oc'
tober term.

After Being Out a Short Time the Jury
Falls to Agree.
| LONDON, May LIN the Old Bailey
Court to-day Justice Charles summed up
the case against Oscar Wilde and Alfred
| Taylor.
The Justice in so doing said the counsel
| for the prosecution acted wisely in with
drawing the charge of conspiracy brought
against Wilde, as he would have ordered
the jury to bring in a verdict OF not
guilty on that specification.
He admitted that there was corrobora-
ton of the witnesses, but the jury, he
added, would have to weigh the charac-
ters of mon like Parker, Wood and At
kins, whom Sir Edward Clarke, in the
Justices opinion, had properly described
| as black mailers.
The Justice also urged the jury not to
! be influenced by Wilde's writings, saying
| that many great men had written inde-
Gently. The jury must exercise Its own
| judgment as 10 whether Wildes letters
to Lord Alfred Douglass breathed unnat-
ural passion, and he also said the rela-
tions between Shelly and Wilde would
| be interesting matter for the jury's judy
ment.
The jury retired at 1:30 this afternoon
and alter being out short time reported
! that they had failed to agree on verdict.
When the news of the disagreement
reached the outside OF the court there was
great excitement and extra editions of the
| evening papers were bought up quickly.
| When Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for
Wilde, asked for bail Justice Charles
said the application must be made in
chambers,
Wilde will be tried again at the next
session of the Central Criminal Court.
Throughout the proceedings to-day he
was very pale.
As Sir Edward Clarke. counsel for the
prisoner, left the court he was heard to
remark: "Iruth is mighty and will pre-
vail"
There was big crowd outside the Old
Bailey during the last stages of the famous
trial to-day, but there was no demonstra-
ton for or against the prisoner upon the
part of the populace.
In spite Of this Wilde was kept in the
prisoners room of the court for an hour
after adjournment, or until the crowds
had Disappeared, before he was taken to
Holloway Jail.

SAN Francisco, May 1.-The inquest
upon the body of Blanche Lamont occu-
pied less that three hours to-day, but tne
evidence developed was considered con-
vincing, and the jury returned verdict
charging Durrant with her murder.
Two new witnesses were produced at
the inquest and testified briefly. but II
was evident that the prosecution Is hold
ing as much of its evidence as possible In
reserve. Until to-day no one has been
produced who saw Durrant in the vicin-
ity of Emmanuel Baptist Church with
the murdered girl on the afternoon OF
April Sd. This missing link, seemingly
all that was lacking 10 complete the chain
of circumstances fastening the terrible
crimes upon the medical student, was
supplied at the inquest.
Martin Quinlan, an attorney, gave dl-
rect and positive testimony that he saw
Durrant and girl tallying exactly with
the description of Miss Lamont walk1n
towards the church and only few yards
distant at 4:l5 o'clock on the afternoon
she disappeared. Quinlan explained that
he was waiting to keep an appointment
with one Clarke, who corrODOrated gum
lan's statement.
These witnesses furnished the sensa-
ton of the day, but Durrant maintained
his stolid indifference during their testi-
mony. The police and the District At
torney are confident of conviction,
stating that they did not put in nearly all
of their case at the inquest.
Mrs. G. q. Noble, aunt OF the muir
dered girl, testified as to the frequency OF
Durrant's visits at their house, and his
attentions to her niece. Durrant had pro-
posed marriage to Blanche last Decem-
ber, but had been refused when the girl
had learned that ne was engaged to an
other young woman.
c. G.. Noble, uncle of Blanche, testified
that Durrant had suggested after her dis
appearance that Blanche was probably In
q house of ill-fame, and offering to search
for her among the disreputable houses.
A street-car conductor and three school
girls identified Durrant as the man who
had escorted Blanche from the school,
tsking the car TO the point of transfer en-
route for her home.
George L. King. Organlst OF Emmanuel
Church, with evident effort to shield
Durrant, repeated the story of seeing him
in the church. sick and faint. late on toe
afternoon Blanche disappeared.
Dr. J. S. Barrett. who performed the
autopsy, stated that Blanche died of as
phyxiation. He said 1t was Impossible
for her to have been in delicate condi-
tion. Seven of the strangler's finger-nail
wounds were on one side of her neck and
five on the other.
Detectives told of Durrant's contradict
ory statements concerning his where
abouts the day Blanche disappeared, and
of his seeming fear to acknowledge the
extent of his acquaintance with her, and
the case went to the jury with unexpected
calpritV

"Ohio, you know, is for Mckinley"
"Ohio ought to be for Governor Nc
Kinley. lie is all able man."
How about ex-President Harrison s
chances?''
LAS l said before, it is altogether too
early to discuss national politics."
''But aside from personalities and can
didates' chances, what do you consider
will be the issues OF the campaign ?"
There will be but one side-hard times
and good times. The Republicans want
nothing better"
''What about the tariff and silver? ?'
''Oh, the tariff and silver questions
will no doubt enter into the campaign.
but they will only be incidental issues"
Speaking of the indictment of Presi-
dent Huntington of the Southern Pacific
by a California Grand Jury. Mr.. Depew
said: That was certainly contempt
ible proceeding. and is an otfense tor
which every railroad President in the
country is liable to prosecution. There
is certainly no danger that there will be
many similar prosecutions, as there is
only one man in a million who would de-
scend 10 such a level"

SINKING OF THE ELBE.

Verdict of the Coroner's Jury Which
Investigated the Matter.
LowEsToFT (Eng.), May 1.-The Cor
oner's jury, which has been inyestigat-
ing the cause Of the sinking of the Ger
man Lloyd steamship Elbe after col
lision on January 30th, returned a verdict
to-day of gross negligence upon the part
of the mate and lookout man of the
British steamer Crathie, which ran into
and sunk the Elbe. The two men men,
toned were found by sharp. steward of
the Crathie, IN the galley of the steamer
when the steward went on deck at
o'clock on the morning of the collision.
although on the port side OF the Crathie
there were a number of lights, which the
steward then believed to be on fishing
boats. The three stayed in the galley
until the collision occurred.
In spite of this, owing to the absence OF
evidence from the survivors OF the Elbe,
tue jury found that there was not su11l-
cient proof that the Crathie was solely to
blame for the collision, and on question
or standing by the rule of the road the
jury excnerated Captain Gordon, COM
mander OF the Crathie, from all blame.
