the Supreme Court decided that Gov. Pin
gree had vacated the mayors chair al De-
troit by accepting the job of governor of
Michigan VIM. G.. Maybury, an ex-con-
gresham, was chosen mayor by the DEM
governor. Mr.. Maybury filled the position
so satisfactorily that the Republicans had
hard hunt 10 find candidate TO pit
against him. Finally. however. Clarence
A Black, prominent citizen, agreed TO
accept and the citizens had to make a
difficult choice between two men acknowl-
edged on all hands to be well worthy the
honor. However. when the votes Were
counted IL was found that Maybury was
elected by over 1900 plurality.
The common council will remain Re-
publican. Sixteen Republicans were left
ever. they having had twenty-four votes
out of thirty-two in the last council. There
will be thirty-four aldermen in the next
council, but IL required the election OF only
two Republicans to take the ma jority
away from the Democrats, and of the ten
aldermen elected at least eight are Re-
publcans. DeimCl and Weller, Democrats
against whom such strenuous appeal
was made by the decent people OF the
city to the voters of the seventh and fifth
wards, are once more returned TO the
council and Weller says that his vote
was greater than ever. Their election
was brought about by the freest use of
money.

BLISS TALKS STRAIGHT.

New York, Sept. 10.-A Washington
dispatch to the World says:
Cornelius n. Bliss, secretary of the
interior has handed down an imper-
tant decision. The decision heretofore
made by the commissioner of the gem
eral land Office, that lands containing
minerals located within the limits Of
a grant to a railroad are not subject
to the mineral laws, but are the prop
erty of the railroad, is reversed. The
action by the secretary will establish
a precedent applicable TO all the land
grant roads.
Many millions of acres of the most
valuable land in the great northwest
and on the Pacific slope will be re-
tanned by the people. The decision of
Secretary Bliss is founded on the case
of the Pacific Coast Marble company
VS.. the Northern Pacific Railroad and
the state of Washington.

NEW CABLE LINE.

The Proposed Connection of Vancou-
yer and Australia.
Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 10.-The fol-
lowing named telegraph magnates held
a closed meeting in Vancouver in con-
nection with the proposed cable line
from Vancouver to Australia:
George c. Ward, vice president and
general manager of the Commercial
Cable company; S. s. Dickinson, sup
erintendent of the company at Kanso,
N. s., where the Canadian Pacific line
connects with the Atlantic cable; K.
V. Devy, se&Eoary to President John
w. Mackey; J. Wilson, Pacific coast
superintendent of Canadian Pacific
telegraphs; l.. w. Storrer, superinten-
dent Pacific Postal Telegraph COM
pany.
After the meeting no news of d.
rect nature could be obtained regard
ing the business transacted; but state
ments were freely made that inside
information obtained warranted the
announcement that Canadian Pa
cific cable from Vancouver to Austria
liza would be an assured fact at COM
paratively early date and that the
present meeting had to do with some
very important preliminaries in which
Millionaire John W. Mackay is to take
very prominent part.
Mr.. Storer stated that the company
would of course handle the Pacific ca
BILE work at this end, and that he,
with others, would inspect the propos-
ed landing stages in British Columbia
at once. The entire party will leave
for Victoria tomorrow.

THE HooTALINoUA ROUTE.
May Prove the Best Road Into the
KIondike.

Victoria, Sept. 10.-Discussing a
route to the Yukon, DR.. Dawson of
the Dominion Geological survey said
that from measurements taken by
him at the mouth of the river, which
would indicate that the Hootalinqua
is of great volume and from informa-
ton furnished by Indians, it seems
more than probable, beyond danger
of low water being encountered at
certain seasons of the year, there
should not be any serious hindrance
to navigation and this opinion is
borne out by the published report of
Mr.. Hayes of the U. s. Geological sur
vey. The latter gentleman, who went
to Teslin lake from Taku inlet, has
furnished some valuable and reliable
data upon this point and from his
statements DR.. Dawson is strongly of
the opinion that the all-Canadian route
via Telegraph Creek, thence to Lake
Teslin and the Hootalinqua river, may
be looked upon as being not only feas-
ible but actually preferable to any Of
the routes TO the moines.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Charles Sayers,

angry and upbraided his wife, be
cause supper was not ready. William,
the elder son, took the part of his
mother, and the father struck the boy

brother from the fathers violence,
and she is now dying at st. EliZabeth's
hospital, frightfully burned.
Mrs. Eellen Sayers, the mother, and
Burt, 14-year-ald son, made a brave
attempt to rescue Yedelt from the
flames, and they too were taken to
the hospital seriously burned.
William, the object of the fathers
wrath, covered with blood and burn
ed also, was the fourth member of the
family to be cared for at the hospital,
while the father, unhurt, was locked

The nature of the deal has been kept
very much of a secret so far, but it
is known that the plan includes not
only the completion and control of
the Honduras railway, the manage

of a national agreement to carry out
fiscal policy for paying off the Hon.

closed and all municipal and public
offices suspended business. The
city proper was almost deserted, as
thousands took advantage of the per-

Among the entertainments provided
were the Pacific Inter-Club associa-

both Ingleside and Oakland tracks;
military tournament at the preside;
the tennis tournament at San Rafael,
and innumerable picnics and other at
fractions.
