PALMYRA ISLAND.
Its Seizure by the British Govern ment Is
Con sid cred Significant.

Its Seizure by the British Govern ment Is
Considered Significant
New YORK, July ga special to
the Herald from Washington says: Of
fetal information of the action of the
British government in taking posses
sion of the island of Palmyra, in the
Pacific ocean, has been received at the
state department The information
was embodied in a dispatch which
reached the department Tuesday, from
San Francisco. it having been wired
from that point by the dispatch
agent of the department stationed
there, who had received it from Min
lister Sewall, at Honolulu. Evidently
Mr.. Sewall regarded the matter as of
great Importance, for it is understood
it was the only subject received by
wire from the steamer which arrived
at San Francisco the latter part of last
week. The message received from
Minister Sewall merely contained the
bare fact of the seizure of the island.
The action of Great Britain in taxi
ing possession of the island at this
time, following, as it does, the SUBJ
mission of an annexation treaty to the
senate by the president, is considered
very significant by the authorities
here. Whether 1t is intended to COM
plicate matters SO as to stave off an
nexation or whether Great Britain
purposes esta blishing a naval station
upon the island in question her action
is regarded as of the highest import
ance and future developments will be
awaited with keen interest by officials

Woman Managed to Make S15,OOO in
the Klondyde Region.
TOLEDO, o., July 27.-Irvin E. Baird
has just returned from Alaska and is
visiting his parents at 124 Maumee ave-
enue. He came direct from Sitka, trav-
cling by steamer to Duluth. He did not
get as far north as the Klondyke belt,
but saw much during his stay in Sitka
to impress him with the magnitude of
the recent gold discoveries. 1t is a
matter of about six hundred miles
from Sitka to the gold belt, and to
reach it Mr.. Baird says one must en-
dure terrible hardships, travelling con-
tinuously over ice and snow. As an
example of what is going on up
there he tells of a woman resi-
dent of Sitka' who left her home and
took the first steamer for the Klondyke
regions, opening up a laundry there.
She staked out a claim, hired men to
work it for her and in a few weeks
time was offered $4,000 for it. This
she thought would keep her and she
sold out and returned to Sitka with
the money.

Cnu ON Gov. Atkinson and Intervisv Bin
as to Their Rights To Speak ana noio
Meetings In West Virginia.
CHARLESTON. w. Va, July 29.-Pres-
ident Ratchford, of the United Nine
Workers; President Gompers, OF the
American Federation of Labor, and
Grand Master Sovereign, of the
Knights of Labor, arrived here We'd
nesday evening and Immediately
called upon Gov. Atkinson
to get an expression from him as to
their rights to speak and hold meet
ings in West Virginia, and especially
to complain of injunction issued by
Judge Mason prohibiting the organ
izers to appear or hold meetings on the
grounds of any coal company without
permission or upon any road leading
to the company's property
Gov Atkinson pointed out to MS
visitors that three branches OF state
government, the executive, the legls-
lative and the judicial, are entirely
separate and distinct one from the
other; that he had jurisdiction only
in the executive branch, and that the
matter of issuing the injunction
is purely matter for the
courts or the judicial branch
The governor had not seen an
official copy Of the injunction but II
what he got from the newspapers IN
regard to it, was correct, he believed
that the injunction was too sweeping
in its provisions. However he would
withhold his opinion upon it till he
satv ap official copy. He asked his WIS.,
itors to call again Thursday when he
would give them his final answer as to
what be would or could do to-
ward giving the relief asked
for. Messrs Gompers, Ratchford and
Sovereign said Wednesday night that
they would go ahead at once to organ
ize the state, no matter what may
be the governors answer, or the issue
in the courts. They would proceed
with their speeches till they were ar
rested and then fight it out in the
courts Each will return to his head
quarters Thursday, and begin the work

eral states August S.

WASHINGTON.
President Mckinley's Vacation Trip
to Lake Champlain.
Two Schedules of Allotments of Land in
Severalty Approved-The Battleship
Indiana Will Be Docked at Hail.
fax-Bolivia's Minister Presented.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The presi-
Dental party will leave here Wednes-
day for their vacation on the shores of
Lake Champlain. The chief executive
desires to obtain as far as possible a
complete rest from official duties dur
ing mis- absence, and for this reason it
is possible few appointments will be
made during that time. 1t is stated at
the white house that all papers sent to
the president at his summer home will
be mailed to Washington without
being opened. 1t is the intention that
all papers shall go through the chan
mel they have heretofore followed
The president, it is said, will look over
no papers while he is away, and what
ever appointments are made will be
announced here.
Benjamin f. Montgomery, one of the
executive clerks, will have charge Of
affairs at the white house during Mr..
McKinley's absence.
Secretary Bliss Tuesday approved
two schedules of allotments of land in
Severalty, made by the Chippewa COM
mission to the Boise Forte band of
Chippewa Indians, residing on the
Boise Forte and Deer Creek reserva-
tions; in Minnesota.
On the Boise Forte reservation 693 al
lotmentS are made, and the total
numb Der OF acres allotted is 55,212.
Added to this are 435 acres reserved
Tor the sub-agency, village and ceme-
terry purposes. On the Deer Creek
reservation are four allotments, and
tol
ments is 900.
Secretary Long has decided to send
the big battleship Indiana to Halifax
to be locked and cleaned. 1t is felt to
be necessary to do this in order to
prevent injury to the hull of the ship
from corrosion. The department would
have much preferred to send the In
diana to Port Royal, S. c., for this pur-
pose, but the opinion of the best navi-
gators in the navy department was
that it would be decidedly risky in the
present unsatisfactory condition of the
approaches to the dock there.
While the naval officers naturally
deplore the necessity for thus sending
our finest ship to foreign dock, they
say the practice is not new or uncom-
mon.
WASHINGTON, July 2S-Assistant
Secretary Howell, of the treasury de-
partment, who is in charge of customs
matters, said Tuesday:
1.-THE new tariff bill is particularly
free from antiquities, which, despite
the most careful efforts are liable to
creep into such measures. 1t is a rev.
enue producer, and in my opinion, will
produce at least $1S5, 900, 600 during the
present fiscal year, and 1 look for at
least 1920, 600, 900 during the fiscal year
1892"
The newly arrived Bolivian minis
ter, Senior Luis Pasz, presented his Gre
dentials to President Mckinley Tues
day, and the usual formal speeches
were exchanged. The minister is the

HIS FIRST REFUSAL.
Cross Policeman and a Passing Ma

Cross Policeman and q Passing Ma
tron Have n TtR.
! There is big policeman at one OF the
crossings on Fifth avenue whose duty
it is to prevent people from immolat-
ing themselves on the altar of their own
carelessness, and to this end he beckons
and warns and invites by a wave OF
his friendly hand or command Of his
stentorian voice. At the same time he
smiles in the most reassuring manner,
says the Chicago Tribune.
A few days ago, when the mud was
spread in liquid abundance over that
portion of Chicago, this policeman
beckoned to stately matron of ma
ture years to cross between an incom-
ing street car and an outgoing dray,
with several minor vehicles wedged be-
tween. But the matron refused with
severe shake of her dignified head and
waited.
"Come over, I tell you'll" roared the
big policeman, with his regulation
smile.
She waited until nothing movable
was in sight, and without deigning to
notice the man of helmet and visor
sailed past his outstretched hand. A
broad smile was on his weather-beaten
face, as, nothing daunted by the scorn
of the naughty dame, he said:
you're the first gur-r-l that ever re-
fused me-"
The astonished woman looked at him
in frozen astonishment, but the beam
ing smile ON his broad face was too
much for her.

TO THE POINT.
Dicks Remark After the Accident
Had Happened.

Dicks Remark After the Accident
Had Happened.
One of the men employed in GER
tain Yorkshire stone quarry is q man of
few words. Indeed, his popularity with
his mates has been attributed to the
fact that Dick could never spare enough
words to get up decent quarrel with
anyone, says Clips.
The other day a huge block Of stone,
weighing several tons, was being raised
by means of a steam crane. When near
the top the chain suddenly gave way.
Dick was at work go feet below when
the accident occurred. Fortunately he
realized his danger, though only just
in time, and eprang from the ledge on
which he stood to another at some dis
tance.
A second later and the huge block was
broken into a thousand pieces on the
solid bed of stone.
Trembling in every limb, the owner
of the quarry, who had witnessed the
affair, hurried to where Dick was stand
ing and seized him by the hand.
whatever would have happened if
you had delayed your leap second,
pick?" he gasped.
The workman glanced back at the
heap of debris on the ledge.
"a funeral" he replied, coolly ,seizing
his pick and preparing to resume work.
