2.year-old daughter had fallen in and
only by the prompt and heroic action OF
Chas. Powers, who jumped into the cis-
tern and love to the bottom and brought
up the stiff and apparently lifeless body,
was the little child's life saved. 1t was
apparently some time before the other
children had given the alarm and when
the body was recovered it was cold and
stiff. The cistern being full OF water
was deep and it had evidently sank TO
rise no more. 1t took a long times
work to resuscitate the child, aud 1t WAS
just beginning to show evidences OF re-
turning life when the parents appeared
on the scene. Mr.. Stump and wife feel
extremely grateful to their Wentworth

for his prompt action in saving their

matter We're at first inclined to believe
that unless it became evident that the
tWO-thirdS vote necessary to secure the
ratification of the treaty was secured
from the beginning it would be a waste
of time to take the matter up at all
upon the basis of the treaty,lbut they
appear to have changed their mind and
to be at least disposed to defer to the
opinions of the majority who oppose
this course. 1t is now stated, on behalf
of the pro -annexationists that to aban-
don the treaty at the present time
would create the impression that they
had surrendered the fight entirely
They also think that the consideration
of the question in secret will serve to
bind those who profess to be favorable
to annexation and make sure of holding
at least a majority of the senate for
resolution. if it in the end be made
evident that it is necessary to resort
legislation.
There is also a still broader reason
for desiring to have the treaty consid-
cred behind closed doors which actu-
ates the committee on foreign relations.
This is the fact that Japans attitude
toward annexation is such, as. to in
Volve some delicate questions which
the members of this committee think

pertaining to Japan and her people
which mOmentarily appeared to be inn
perilled. Subsequent events, Mr.. Hoshi
added, have shown that the Japanese
government was right in the belief
frankly expressed in that protest, that
Japan could confidently rely upon the
good feeling and the good faith of the
United States to take no hasty or i'll
considered steps subversive of the
rights of a government and a people
with whom this government and the
American, people have always main
tanned the closest and most cordial re-
lations. And while the question cam
not yet be regarded as definitely set
tied in all particulars, Mr. HOshi said
that he had no hesitation in expressing
the firm conviction that all matters of
mutual concern between the United
States and Japan arising from the an
neXation of Hawaii would be equitably
and honorably adjusted.
To an inquiry regarding the instruc-
tions with which his government has
entrusted him during his recent visit to
Japan, Mr.. Hoshi stated that while, Of
course, he could not reveal the nature
of those instructions, it was not i'm
proper for him to say that they were
of a kind, in his opinion, to facilitate
materially the settlement of the ques-
tons resulting from the annexation of
Hawaii. in which Japan can rightfully
claim to be interested There is no
reason, he said, why the full and frank
discussion, and in the end the just set
tlement of all such questions, should
create the slightest friction between the
two countries.

LESS MIXED MAIL.
The Publishing Houses IN Cities
Sorting the Matter.


Sorting the Matter.
WASHINGTON. Dec. I.-For some
time past the postoffice department has
been making an endeavor to have the
large publishing houses in the prin-
cipal cities send their mailing matter
to the general pOstoffices assorted and
separated for the particular localities
for which it is intended, instead of dis
patching it to the office in mass there
to be separated by the clerks. The sug-
gestion has beer put in practical opera
ton by many of the newspapers and
publishing houses, and has resulted in
greatly expediting the handling of the
mails. Within the past year the news
papers and publishing houses in Pitts
burg adopted the plan. In a recent
letter to Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General Shellenberger, Assistant
Railway Mail Superintendent Jackson
gives the results of his observations
of the progress that has been made.
In January and February of this year,
he says, II per cent of the mail sent to
the general Office was mixed matter.
In July this had decreased to So per
cent, While last month the count of
the matter sent by about thirty-fve of
the principal publishing houses showed
a reduction in mixed matter of II per
cent. Houses that were sending in as
much as 80 per cent of their matter
in mixed shape now send in only 6
per cent in that manner.

An Important Ruling by the Secre-
tary of the INTERIOR

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Secretary
Bliss has approved an important de-
cision prepared by Assistant Attorney
General Vandeventer. relating to the
claim of the Orthodox Graeco- Roma
church to lands in Alaska at Sitka st.
Michaels, Unalaska, Belkofsk and Ka-
diak. While Alaska was a Russian
province the Graeco-Roma church
erected edifices at different places in
the territory and from the Russian gov
eminent acquired extensive and valu-
able lands. Article of the treaty of
cession provided that the church prop
erty should belong to the members of
the church resident in the territory,
who should choose to worship therein.
Recently Nicholas, bishop of the church
in Alaska and the Aleutian islands, has
complained that the organization has
been disturbed in the possession of its
property, some of the buildings being
removed by intruders who had invaded
the lands, and it was in response to
these representations that the decision
is made.
The secretary holds that any land,
the right and title to which was &C
quired from Russia by the church, is
not public land, and therefore not sub
jcct to entry, and that land owned by
the church at the time of cessiOn con-
llnuSS 10 We ONLSd Wy H. l. Va IiACi, LliC
secretary holds that in addition to it5
private land acquired from Russia, the
church under the laws relating to Alas
ka will be protected in it's use and oc-
cupancy of public lands as missionary
stations, each station being limited to
$40 acres"
The conclusion is reached that the
department has no authority by which
it can remove the trespassers from the
private land owned by the church, nor
to restore the physical possession there
of to the rightful owners, that being a
matter exclusively within the jurisdic-
ton of the courts. Legislation is rec
commended providing for the establish
ment of a, commission whose duty it
shall be to survey, and it shall deter
mine the boundary of the church and
private land claims in Alaska. 1t will
also confirm the private titles obtained
from Russia.

admit that it would be we'll nigh inn
possible to secure the two-thirds vote
necessary to ratify the treaty, but they
contend that they will come very
near" reaching the necessary number
Of the sixty votes necessary they claim
to have ffty-four pledged, and they
think it possible that they might Sc
cure two or three more votes. Their
plan, however, contemplates a full de-
bate of the question on the treaty in
executive session and the subsequent
transfer of the matter, IL necessary, to
the open senate on resolution similar
to that by which Texas was annexed,
and the pressing Of this resolution to
a speedy vote.
The resolution will require only
majority of votes, but to be effective
it will be necessary that it should also
pass the house, where delay is feared.

WRIT OF ERROR.

Jones Island Cases.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 11.-Clerk
of the Courts Hill today received no
tice that a writ of error had been is
sued by Associate Justice Brown, Of
the United States supreme court, in
the Jones Island case of Nettie l.. Cox
against Charles Myer and others. The
writ was issued to the superior court
of Milwaukee and states that an error
has happened TO the damage of de-
PENDANTS and orders the superior court
of Milwaukee to send the records and
proceedings of the trial in this case.
The writ, although it is directed
against only one of the Jones Island
cases, will, when q decision is reached
in regard to the error effect all the
proceedings in nearly two hundred
similar ejectment suits in which the
inhabitants of the island are made the
defendants The writ was issued on
the ground that the ruling of the SUI
periOr court drew into question the
validity of an Indian treaty according
to which the defendants in the case
claim that the island belongs to the
United States and is not owned by the
Illinois Steel company and other par
ties.
Not only the superior court but also
Judge Seaman's court and the supreme
court of Wisconsin decided that the
part of the defendants answer allee-
ing that the property was owned by
the United States must be stricken out.
The announcement of the issue of the
writ created quite a stir in legal cir
cles.

NO TROUBLE PROBABLE.
Japan Does not Oppose the Annexn-
item OF Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE return
of Mr.. Hoshi, the Japanese minister.
from a brief leave Of absence in Japan,
has called fresh attention to Japan's
attitude toward Hawaiian annexation.
Mr.. Hoshi stated today that while he
had no intention of discussing in the
newspapers the official relations of his
country with the United States he
thought that it was due to both govern
ments to disavow in the most public
manner the sentiments and designs re-
garding Hawaiian annexation fire.
quently attributed to Japan in the press
of this country. His own return, he
said, had been made the occasion for
the renewal of rumors of this descrip-
ton and on that account he felt it to be
his duty to say that it is absolutely I'M
true that the Japanese government is
opposing in any manner whatever the
annexation Of Hawaii to the United
States Nothing could be farther from
the truth. 1t is true that Japan at one
time formally protested against annex
alton, but that protest was intended to
protect certain clearly defined rights

Committee Authority.

WASHINGTON, Dec. n.-Whether the ways

currency committee will control currency
legislation in the house of representatives
continues to excite much feeling among rep
resentatives. Little doubt is felt that Secre-
tary Gage will so divide his bills covering
various currency questions that Mr. Dingley' s
committee will get control OF them. Mem
bers of the banking committee say the mat
ter will be carried to the floor of the house
if necessary, and that an issue Of the com
mittee authority will be raised which will
defeat any currency bills proposed by the
ways and means committee.
