INVOLVES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
Secretary of Interior Bliss Decides
That Marble Is Mineral.

Washington, Sept. l6-Secretary Bliss
has overthrow the decision of former
Commissioner LamoreallX of the general
land office in the cases of the Pacific
Coast Marble Company against the
Northern Pacific railroad, involving a val
liable deposit of marble in the Spokane
land district of about 100 acres. The
secretary's decision is adverse to the Iail
road company and jeopardizes its title to
lands formerly claimed under its grant
which are valued at several million dol
lars.
This is a most important and far-reach-
ing case. The question decided is wheth-
er the railroad company under its orig
inal grant can patent lands containing
non-metaIliferous mineral, such as mar
ble gypsum, slate and phosphates. I'm
der the grant to me company it can pat
ent lands along its line which do not con-
tain gold, silver, cinnabar, lead, tin, cop
per cor other valuable mineral deposits"
The company contended that marble is
not mineral and the suit is for possession
of 100 acres of marble quarries near Spo-
kane, Wash. Other cases involving gyp-
sum, marble slate and other non-metal-
liferous minerals have been pending,
awaiting the present decision.

RAIDS BY AMERICAN BUCCANEERS.
They Are Said to BE Operating In
the Queen Charlotte Hands.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. Is. - Complaint
comes from the Pacific ocean of raids by
American buccaneers upon the Queen
Charlotte islands. Using their own har-
bors for refuge, it is alleged they have
been making raids upon the territories
and fishing grounds of British subjects.
1t is said that they have pillaged settle
ments while the people were away.
Swindling is also reported to be carried
on with impunity, and quantities of
American goods are being taken in with
out payment of duty. They have gone
so far as to kill cattle owned by Cana
dams and dispose of them in the markets
of Juneau and Sitka.

"AUG. 20. POLE. ANDREE."
The Message That Was Carried by
nm Exhausted Carrier Pigeon.

Logansport, Ind, Sept l4.-Excitement
prevails in this vicinity over the capture
of a carrier pigeon with a message signed
"Andree." The writing is in English, but
it is thought that the explorer sent out
the message in Ill languages. The bird
was first seen to fly over Il small town
called Idavnle, near here, and was next
seen when it alighted on Farmer week
vans house in an exhausted condition.
Itscapture was easy, but in getting the
bird down it was injured and died this
morning It's right foot had an alumni
mum band around it, on which was in
scribed mo. 81" and the letter "A" I'm
der the left wing was a parchment CON
tanning some badly distigured writing, OF
which only the following could be read:
august 20, Pole" And the next word
was erased, and then came the signature,
"Andree" The action of the wing had
worn the parchment and erased the writ
ing. The whole had been tied on the
body of the bird and while not loose, had
evidently been in all kinds of weather.
At first it was thought that practical
joke had been played, but the exhausted
condition of the bird disproves that.

MINERS CowED by STATE TROOPS
Tramp of the Warriors Causes the
City to Appear BesicGed,

City to Appear Besicged,
! Throughout Saturday the city was Civ
en- up to excitement which, by its sup
pressed character, was more ominous
than turbulence would have been. The
! incoming of the state troops served to
COW the strikers and their sympathizers
and no further demonstration was made
than the gathering at street corners of
knots Of men and women in muttered
but intense discussion of the shooting. At
night there were fully $500 soldiers camp
ing in town. The first to arrive was the
Ninth regiment from Wilkesbarre. Then
came the Thirteenth. Thirty-fourth,
Sixth from Lebanon, Twelfth from Will
Transport, Battery B from PhoeniXville,
the Governors troop from Harrisburg,
and the City troop from Philadelphia.
The town itself looked as if it were in
state of siege Saturday night, as the
booted and spurred warriors were to be
seen at every turn. The presence of the
troops has slttiiced to maintain order
thus far, but it is not depressing public
opinion. This is almost unanimous in
condemning in the most severe terms the
action of the deputies. "Of1icial murder"
is the phrase on almost every tongue,
and for substantiation of the charge at
tention is directed to the fact that the
deputies carried Winchester rifles, each
man having II rounds of ammunition, a
revolver and box of cartridges, while
the marching strikers were defenseless,
having unanimously surrendered what
ever weapons they may have had before
the march was begun,
At IL o'clock today the bodies of the
unfortunate men who fell under the lead
storm will be laid away. Services will be
held in the Polish Catholic church, where
requiem high mass will be celebrated.
PitifuI Sights at the MOrEue.
The hospital was the heartrending
place Saturday. All day long groups OF
sunken-eyed, sallow checked women
many bearing children in their arms,
hung about the steps and eagerly
watched the doors. Some sat in stony
silence as if unaware as yet of what had
happened, while others were bowed and
bent beneath uncomfortable storms OF
grief About the dead house in the real
of the hospital building, where lay two
or three bodies, the scene was infinitely
pitiful. During the part of the day la
mentations no less mournful could be
heard at the building called the morgue
