MEMORY LOST FOR YEARS.

Sudden Appearance Of william H..
Allen Mt San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-The sudden
appearance in this city of William Henry
Allen, who vas supposed for twenty years
to be dead, surprised a great many prop
erty owners. because Allen at one time
owned land IN the heart of the city now
valued at $14,OO0,0OO, The records do not
show that the property ever passed out of
his hands, and the present owners hold
under the statute of limitations, having had
adverse possession for nearly a generation.
His appearance was simultaneous with the
filing of quit claim deed to half Of his
interest in the lands, the grantee being a
lawyer named John c. Watson. The prop
'erty claimed is that on which the hand
some Crocker building. the Palace Hotel,
the Chronicle and many other buildings
stand.
Attorney Watson. speaking fer his clients,
says:
the lands in question from 7. M. Leaven-
worth, then alcalde and chief magistrate of
San Francisco. Calendar was then Allen 8
brother-in-law and debtor, and the lands
were of little value. Calendar decided the
lands to Allen in liquidation Of the debt.
Allen went back to his home in New York
and, nothing more being heard Of him, ne
was supposed to have died without deciding
his property to any one else. But there
was reason for his disappearance.
After reaching New York he was hurt in
an accident and lost his mind. For twenty
yesrs-that have been to him as a dream
he has been harmlessly insane. Then i'm
pairment passed away, and he came to a
realiza ton Of the fact that he was old and
gray, and one-third of his life was blank.
With sanity came memory, and he be-
thought himself of his property here, which
Increased to millions while he wandered a
day dreamer in the realms Of the insane.
Against such a man the statute of limita-
ticns cannot be pleaded"
Attorney Wilson says there will soon be
a big suit as result of Aliens return.

SquatterS Must Go.

Washington, April 10. - Secretary
Smith to-day took up the protests OF
the Iankton Indians against allowing
the State Of South Dakota to select
school lands within the ceded reser-
walton: The secretary decided to rec
ommed to the president, who has the
proclamation declaring the lands open,
yet unsigned, to temporarily withhold
his signature. He will allow the state
two weeks within which to file argu-
ments showing it's rights to select
these lands, and thereafter will render
his decision. It is probable that in
the meantime he will take some steps
to have squatters removed from the
reservation, a task that may require
the use Of United States troops.

A MINE DISASTER.
Twcnty-One Miners in Washingtou
Are Killed.

Are Killed.
Whatcom, Wosh., April 1O.-An ex-
plosion from fire damp in Blue Canon
coal mine on Lake Whatcom today
killed twenty-one men. w. A. Tel
ford was at the bunkers when the ex-
plosion occurred. He went to the in
cline and found james Kearns at
the mouth Of the shaft nearly dead
with exhaustion. Kearns said all in
the mine were dead. He had carried
Ben Morgan as far as possible s.rd
then left him. Morgan, he Thought.
was dead. Kearns and Gellum were
the only ones who had escaped out of
twenty-three men who were at work.
Tom Valentine and J. O. Anderson
were the incline men, and they cs-
capped. At the switch of the gang yav,
300 feet from the mouth of the tun-
mel, Ecklund and Tclford found the
body of George Roberts, and beyond
We're thirty loaded cars which had
been blown off the track. They next
found the body of Ben Morgan, who
was dropped by Kearns, Ecklund and
others They were unable to go be-
yond room 81, 500 feet from the angle
or the tunnel and gangway. Their
safety lamps went out and the gas
drove them back. In room II they
found the bodies of Thomas Conlin
and James Kirby. It is supposed that
IN addition to tile four found, nineteen
persisted. The gas was so thick that
the rescuing party was able to stay
only few minutes. Safety lamps
were used everywhere out in the gang
way. The tunnel is 800 feet long and
the gangway 1000 feet long, and nas
tWcnty-slx rooms opening from it.
The fans were kept running all the
time and the cause Of the explosion
is unknown. The mine was inspected
about three weeks ago and pro.
nounced safe.

March 5, 8, IL, IL and Is. Attorney
General Olney, James @. Carter Of
New York, and Assistant Attorney

MdrCA D, 3, IL, IL and Is. Attorney
General Olney, James G. Carter Of
New York, and Assistant Attorney
General Whitney appeared for the
government, and Messrs. Choate,
Seward, Guthrie and ex-senator Ed
munds for the trust companies and
Moore. The argument attracted more
attention than has been given to any
case in the supreme court for years,
ana the interest manifested appears
not to have diminished since. The
lawyers FOR Moore and the trust COM
panies attacked the constitutionality
OF the law on broad grounds, while
Messrs. Olney, Whitney and Carter
defended it.
Dissenting Opinions.
Justice Field read a dissenting opin-
lon, In which he said: II am of the
opinion that the whole law Of 1894 is
nul! and void" He was followed
by Justice White in a second dissent
Ing opinion. Justice Field laid stress
upon the fact that the law does not
exempt judges Of the United States
courts from the payment of the tax.
1t was not right, he said, that the SUI
preme court should sustain and make
no protest when many United States
Judges drawing small salaries would
ne aHected, because Of the law, and
he called attention to the letter once
written by Chief Justice Chase to the
treasury officials protesting against
the deduction Of an income tax from
the salaries of United States judges.
Justice Fields opinion was largely
devoted to review of the provisions
regarding rents, and was a vigorous
remuneration Of the principle sought
to be established by the income tax
law, his conclusions being in con-
formlty with those announced by the
cnleI justice. He also attacked the
law on account Of the lack Of uni
1ormlty, and dwelt upon it's exemp-
tlons and discrimination, which was,
ne SAID, class legislation. He devoted
especlal attention to the exemption of
savings banks, mutual insurance COM
panles and building and loan associa-
tons. lie quoted census figures to
snow the extent of the operations of
these companies, and said that if
these facts were not convincing. con-
gress could rot he convened Through
one rise from the dead" He took is
sue with those who contended that
there could be no legitimate limita-
tlon upon the power of congress to
impose taxes.
Justice Whites dissent was largely ex-
temporaneous, and was very long. Ap-
parently. he favored the upholding Of
the whole law.
Justice Harlan followed Justice
White in dissenting opinion, and the
case was closed. Nothing was said
TO show how any of the judges stood,
save those who read dissents.
the treasury officials are greatly dis
turbed over the decision, and while
admitting that they have no reliable
DATA upon which to form an accurate
estimate, they express the belief that
the net result Of the decision will he
a loss of at least SO per cent in the
lScelpts from income. President
cleveland said to-day that unless
there was an unexpected change in
conditions there would be no extra
session of congress.

It appears that Great Britain has
one physician to every 1907 of the
population, Germany one to every
3O38, France one to every 2766, Aus
tria one to every 1857, Belgium one
to every 2S41. Italy one to every 1886
and Spain one to every 1875. In the
United States, there are about 100000
physicians, or one to every 626 of the

there is more sickness in our country
than in the others mentioned, but
that the ease with which diplomas
