st. Louis Paper of Ycstcr-
day Morning.

The following, relating to Kansas City,
appeared in a Sa. Louis paper yesterday:
''As yet talk relative to the retirement of
Democratic holders of federal offices here

larry rife. Milton Welsh, surveyor OF the
port. Will be the first of President CleVc-
lands appointces TO go out of office. He Is
hlling out the uneXpred term of j. Scott
Harrison, brother of cX-Presidcnt iiarri-
son. HarrisonS appointment was not con-
iirmed by the senate, owing to determined
hostility on the part of onSressman,
now Judge, John c. Tarsney. Welsh will
be retired about eight months hence. Web
ster Withers. collector of internal revenue,
will follow him toward the latter part Of
United States District Attorney John X.

member of the board of public works and Il
well known capitalist. II Mark Hanna's

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
HANDS DOWN DECISIONS.
NEW TRIAL FOR HENRY STARR.
IMPORTANT DECISION as TO CHER
OI[EE CITIZENSHIP.
Effect Likely to BE to Admit Many
o. sSauayvmen To Indian Citizenship
A Missouri Law Upheld
Kansas Double Liza
DiIity Law.

Washington, Jan. 4.-I'he supreme court
to-day reversed several of the decisions of
the late Judge Parker. OF the Western
district of Arkansas. Among these was the
case of Henry Starr. who appealed from Il
sentence for murder in Indian Territory,
which was St1rr's second conviction. The
appeal in this case was based upon the
technical ground that Il warrant was ad-
mitted as testimony in the absence of the
official seal. Justice White rendered the
opinion in the case ordering ii third trial.
Another case OF considerable interest
from the Indian Territory decided in favor
of the appcllants was that of Jess and
John Nofre. under sentence fer the mur-
der of Fred Rutherford. Rutherford was
a white man who had married Cherokee
squaw, and the question involved in this
case was whether the act of marriage had
been made in proper form, which would
make him :; Cherokee citizen and in which
case the federal court would have no jur
isdiction over his murderers. 1t appeared,
however. that the marriage had been con-
Quoted without fun observance of the
Cherokee laws Assistant Attorney Cen
cral Whitney in his argument in the case,
showed that Rutherford had been espe-
cially remiss in failing to comply with the
Cherokee law in his marriage, and an opin
ion from the attorney general of the Cher
okee nation was filed in the case to the
effect that Il MN who did not comply with
these laws of the Indians was not citi-
zen of the tribe. Justice Brewer delivered
the opinion of the court holding that Ruth
erford was a Cherokee citizen ami there
fore reversing the decisfnu of Judge Parker
holding the Notires guilty of murder under
the laws of the United States.
1t is believed the effect of this opinion
will be to admit many "squawmen' to citi-
zenship in the Indian tribes and in case
of division of Indian property, as pro-
posed in the Indian Territory by the Dawes
commission, will have an important bear
ing upon the distribution.
The state law of the state of Missouri
holding railroad companies responsible for
damage by fire caused by railroad loco
motives was sustained in two decisions by
Justice Gray, appealed 10 this court by
the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company.
Justice Gray said the act was due exercise
of legislative authority
In the case of John F. Bushnell against
Cyrus A. Leland. receiver of the State
National bank Wichita Kas. the court
reaffirmed, in decision by Justice White
the right of a national bank receiver ap-
pointed by the comptroller OF the currency
to enforce the individual liabilities of the
banks stockholders. The case was ap-
peaIed from a decision of the Connecticut
district court. which was favorable to the
receiver, and to-day's opinion affirmed this
view.

POISONED BY NATIVES.
A Wealthy EnEIishmnn Who Married
an American Girl Murdered
in Nicurnrua.

New Orleans. Jan. 4.-Advices from
Ochoa, on the San Juan river. in Nicar--
qua. announce the death of Sir w. 7. An
derson. an Englishman of wealth, who re-
sided on his plantation with his wife. an
American woman. Anderson formerly lived
in Los Angeles Cal, where he married
Miss Jennie Bell, daughter of Colonel Hor-
ace Bell, a prominent California lawyer.
Three years ago he purchased planta-
tion in Nicaragua. twenty-five miles from
Santa Juan del Norte. or Grcytown. Sir
William. suffering from numerous thefts
on his place. set a trap for the thief and
captured him. The native was whipped
severely. AS a result of the whipping and
neglect. the native died. This aroused a
very bitter feeling against Sir William
among the natives. His death was caused
by poison, the EnglIshman being seized by
violent spasms after eating his dinner and
dying soon after in agony. The body was
buried in San Juan by strangers. as Lady
Anderson was in California, visiting rela-
tiyeS.

SECRETARY FRANCIS RULING.
His Grounds for Reversing uokc
Smiths Decision TO Cher
Ol<ec Striu ..SOoners"

Washington, Jan. 4.-Secrctary Francis
has inauSurated a policy of giving full
qualifications for entry to those individuals
who. in good faith. entered the Cherokee
Outlet from the east side. on which the
Ponca, Usage. Otoe and Missouri and other
Indian reservations are located. This is 4
reversal of the rulings of Secretary Smith,
who held that those who made runs from
the reservations are disqualified. The new
policy is laid down in decision in the case
of Michael Brady, John II. Mcdonald and
John NJ. Dahl, VS. Charles A. Williams,
overruling the general land office decision
that entrance to the territory from the
Usage reservation disqualified Brady from
entry. The proclamation issued twenty
days before the opening is held to have
been the guide controlling the entrance
for occupation and settlement. The reser-
walton of a strip of land 100 feet wide
around the entire tract, of course including
the east side. is cited and the proclamation
accordingly made no inhibition upon set
tiers entering from those Indian reserva-
tions. Secretary Francis holds that the
routes Travelled to get to the Strip did not
disqualify persons making the run from
the 1O0-foot strip on the east side from
making entry and that it is not within the
power of the executive branch of the gov
ernment to fix the qualifications of one
making homestead entry. The only
theory upon which the secretary of the
interior could possibly prevent persons
from making the run from these Indian
reservations was that. under the laws and
treaties with the tribes. white people were
not allowed there and could be removed
as treSpdSscrs. If, in ignorance of this. in
dividuals actually did get into the reserva-
ton. it is heldythat they were not dis
qualified and they should be allowed home
stead rights

MINISTERS DISCUSS LABOR.
DisapprOvc of Unions, Which, They
Think. Make Fewer jobs
Resolutions Referred

Tho problem of devising means whereby
employment can be secured for the un-
employed laborers of the city not only pro-
voked a war of bitter words and a faction
al fight among the members of the Socialist
party ut its meeting Sunday afternoon. but
stirred up the Minister'S Alliance yester-
day morning. Rev. Charles l.. Kloss, of
the Southwest tabernacle. introduced the
following resolution, which caused IL lively
discussion among the leading divines of the
city:
Whereas. In view of the great number
of unemployed in the city, and the constant
suffering prevailing.
Resolved. That we. the Ministers AL
lance of Kansas City, recommend,
First, That the merchants, manufacture
ers and employers of labor in this city do
all possible in their power to relieve the
suffering and distress by giving and con-
tinuing to give employment: and. second.
that the mayor and common council take
immediate steps to give as much labor TO
unemployed men as, through the board OF
public works. is practicable
The resolution, while dealing entirely
with the unemployed of the city. caused
several of the ministers to diyulge their
disapprOval of union labor in general. Rev
Johnston. pastor OF the Central Christian
church. of Kansas City, kas.. said that the
stand taken by union labor In keeping the
scales of wages at the same high figures
that were paid during prosperous times
compelled the employers to employ as few
men as possible, thus keeping many non
union men who would be glad to work for
less wages out Of employment.
Rev Hill. pastor of the Troost Avenue
NJ. r.. church, held that If 1t were not for
this attitude on the part of organized labor
wages might be lower. but there would be
more jobs. Rev. DIR. Hopkins of the First
Congregational church. said that he was
opposed 10 the passage of any set of reso-
lutions by the alliance.
DIR. Neel suggested that the Commercial
Club be conferred with upon the subject
but motion to refer the resolution TO the
executive committee of the alliance was
passed
