TO HOLD ITS LANDS.
Decision In Favor of the Greek Church
In Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Dec 13.-Secretary
Bliss has approved an important de-
cision prepared by Assistant Attorney
General Van Devanter relating to the
claim OF the Orthodox Greek church 10
lands at Sitka, ST. Michaels, Unalaska,
Belkofsk and Kadiak, Alaska. While
Alaska was a Russian province the
Greek church erected edihces at differ
ent places in the territory and acquired
extensive and valuable lands from the
Russian government. Article Of the
treaty Of cession provided that the
church property should belong to the
members Of the Greek church I'm the ter
ritory who chose 10 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 It's
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 acquired
from Russia by the church is not pub
lie land, and therefore not subject TO
entry, and that land owned by the
tnuIcn Ut the lllle OF ceASiOh cohtiiu1a
to be owned by it. Further the secre-
tary holds that in addition to its pri-
vate land acquired from Russia, the
church, under the laws relating TO
Alaska, will be protected in its use and
occupancy Of public lands as mission
airy stations, each station being limited
TO $40 acres"
The conclusion has been reached that
the department has no authority by
which II can remove the trespassers
from the private land owned by the
church, nor TO restore the physical pos
session thereof TO the rightful owners,
that being a matter exclusively within
the jurisdiction Of the courts. Legisla-
tion is recommended providing for the
establishment of n commission whose
duty It shall be TO survey and deter
mine the boundaries Of church and 9TH
er private land claims in Alaska and to
confirm the private titles obtained
from Russia.

WOOL COMING.
Large Shipments Reported on Their Way
60 Boston.


60 Boston.
BOSTON, Dec. 13.-It is reported that
large shipments Of wool are on the way
to this port, one estimate from an au-
thoritative source placing the figures at
100000 pounds. From some points of
view this is remarkable and significant.
It is the first large shipment of foreign
wool received at this port under the
new tariff and this Of itself tells a sto-
ry Of its own.
IL has been stated from time 20 time
that the market was glutted and the
general impression has prevailed that
there was an enormous stock on hand
In this city. According to an expert in
foreign wools. this is far from being the
case. and, while there may be consider
able wool in the public warehouses;
there is little in private stock. It in
dicates, according TO a prominent wool
man, that the market is getting near
the importing point
Importers feel that wool Imported at
present figures will have q market in
the future. According TO Edwin s. Mac
Farand, superintendent of warehouses,
the government today would be In a
position 20 care for only about one-half
of the 100000 pounds expected at this
port within a short time.

WASHINGTON, Dec 1S.-Secretary
Bliss has telegraphed to Tams Bixbey,
chairman of the Dawes Indian commits
sion. to come TO washington to confer
with the Indian committees. and has
informed the house committee on In
dian affairs that he expects the COM
mission to be here in time for next
Thursdays session. This meeting Will
be a significant one. The report the
commission makes to congress on the
results OF its labors among the five civ
ilized tribes, the status of the negotia-
tions and the attitude of the tribes will
largely affect legislation about to be
shaped to settle the problems. The ul-
innate result, as now indicated, will be
an omnibus bill providing for the reor-
ganizatlon of the territory and the ex-
tinguishment of tribal autonomy with
out preliminary negotiation with the

Sketch OF Her Life.

CANTON, o., Dec. 1S.-Mrs Nancy
Allison Mckinley died yesterday morn
ing All Of her children and other inn
mediate relatives We're at her bedside
when she breathed her last. she did
not suffer any in her last hours, but
gradually passed from the deep, palsied
sleep in which she had rested almost
constantly for the past 10 days into the
sleep of death.
The end was most beautiful. Mrs.
Mckinley seemed to sleep so soundly
that It was difficult to tell whether she
had yet breathed her last This condi-
tion continued for half an hour. She
seemed to sleep her life away. AL
though the president and all of her fam
lily were by her side. there were no rec
ognitions. Her last consciousness was
hours before her final taking away.
Funeral services will be held in the
First Methodist Episcopal church OF
this city at / o'clock tomorrow after
noon. Interment will follow in West
Lawn Cemetery, just west Of the city,
and In the evening President Mckinley
and wife and officials from Washing
ton who attend the funeral will leave
for the capital, reaching there about
noon Wednesday.
1t was at first thought by the family
that the services should be Of a more
private nature, held at the old home
stead. 1t was soon learned, however,
through the pastor of Mrs. McKinley's
church, and members Of the congrega-
tion, as well as from other friends. that
the number OF friends who desired to
pay their last tribute of respect TO the
beloved woman. by attending the obse-
quies, could not be accommodated with
such arrangements. and church services
were decided upon.
Rev. Dr. Manchester the pastor Of
the church, has announced that it Is
his desire and that he win extend an
invitation to have the ministers Of all
the churches, about 30 in number, occu-
py the pulpit and participate in the
services
Pallbearers have been selected from
among the older members of the church
and those who for years have been close
neighbors Of the deceased. They are
