Russian Money,

The London correspondent Of the
Birmingham Post learns from a
Russian authority who is now in
London, that provision will be made
next year for the establishment of
an imperial mint just beyond the
limits Of Moscow. OF recent years
practically all the Russian coinage
has been. executed by French firms,
although at the present moment
there are firms in Birmingham
which are under contract with the
Russian authorities to strike some
800, 900 rubles in bronze. 1t is felt
however. the time is now ripe foE
Russia to mint all its own coinage
and iflthe plans which are, now be-
ing considered are adopted hyiM, Do

Erightful Accident.

St. Petersburg, Nov. ia terri
BILE accident has occurred near Bic
lostok, Russian Poland, resulting in
the death Of 80 persons. A wedding
party was returning from the church
to the house of the bride. All were
were in onc'wagon, a huge vehicle
drawn'by eight horses. The road
along which they drove crossed the
railroad track on the level and the
driver, either through carclessncss
or ignorance Of the train schedule,
pushed his swiftly moving horses
upon the crossing just as the cx-
press was coming up. The locomo-
tevc struck the vehicle squarely,
killing many members Of the party
outright and manning others SO that
they soon expired in frightful agony.
Not a member Of the party escaped.

Washington, Nov. IL Although
the Peruvian legation here has not
been officially advised Of the passage
10y the Peruvian congress on Tuesday
Of the. bill to legalize non~Catholic
marriages by the magistrates Of
towns. no sort Of doubt is expressed
at the legation that the question has
been protractcd and has aroused CON
siderable feeling in Peru. The clcr-
icals have fought Uhc measure since
it's Inception. The bill itself was
championed by the government and
was passed by the house of deputies
at, the last session of congress, and
the long struggle ended in the victory
for the government when it was
finally sanctioned by the senate on
Tuesday. Several Of the Protestant
church organizations in the United
States had taken up the matter anc
the government to use it's good offices
! in aid Of the measure.

Watku Wasn't Shet.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. lo.-John
Watka, Creek Indian, was to have
been shot this afternoon at Eufaula
court house for the murder of Jonas
Deer, but at the Last moment was
granted a ten days respite by Chief
Isparhcchcr. This was his second
respite, the execution having been
originally set for Oct. 80. On Oct.
81 newspapers all over the country
printed elaborate stories OF Watka's
taking off, many Of them illustrated.
and these stories have afforded the
condemned man much amusement.
The general feeling is now that, like
Tonaka, who was to have been shot
last week at Alikchi, and was re-
spited, Wa1ka will never be shot,
but will be pardoned by the chief.

BITTER ROOT LANDS.
Insold Lands Not Open to Settlement or
Occupancy.

Occupancy.
Washington, NOV. g. Especial
Herald Correspondcnce.) = The. fol-
lowing will be Of interest to our peo-
pie: The lands lying in the Bitter
Root valley which were patented to
the Fathcad Indians, embracing
some 1000 acres, were, under the act
of March 2, 1889, duly appraised
and sold. OF the 81 tracts thus or
dercd to be sold at the appraised
value and for the benefit Of the In
dian patentees, only IS tracts have
been sold, besides a part Of eight
other tracts including altogether
about 260O acres and leaving some
1920 acres undisposed Of. The In
dian agent at the Flatlead agency
says that the Indian patcntces OF
said lands complain that their lands
have been withdrawn from the sale
by the commissioner Of the general
land Office and are being jumped by
certain parties who refuse to give up
possession or to pay rental or other
compensation to the Indians therefor.
The understanding that the commits
sioncr had withdrawn the lands from
sale seems to have arisen from q false
impression on the part of the regis
ter and receiver at Missoula, that a
telegram addressed officially to them
in June, 1895, had ordered them to
''suspend action on all cases includ-
inc Flathcud Indian lands in the Bit
: ter Root valley" was meant to apply
to the patented lands when in fact it
: bore reference only to the lands in
: the Jocko or Flathcad reservation
which were opened to prcemption
: entry and settlement by whites under
] section 2 Of the act Of 1872. Ih(
S act of 1889 authorized the secretary
G Of the interior, with the consent OIL
: the indians scyerally, to whom pat
+ ents have issued for lands allotted tt
G them in the Bitter Root, to direct
L said lands to be appraised and PLACED
Q on the market for sale to the hiyhcs
bidder by the register and receive
and at not less than the APPRAISED
;. value, the proceeds Of the sale to b
given to the Indians, who have al
- surrendered their patents. The .}32'
acres of unsold Glands arc held not t.
= be subject to settlement or occu
- pancy as they must be considered il
:, the light Of "trust lands" held b.
the government for the benefit Of tn
Indians. The jumpers or squattcr
. will therefore be elected by the Un
- tied States either by the use Of troop
~ or through processes Of the fedora
:, courts.
Failure to sell the 1920 acres wa
:, doubtless owing to the high appraisc
