Mrs. Jane stanford VIII Deliver
100000 to Stanford Heirs.

San Francisco, Sept. 25.-Mrs. Jane
Stanford will pay in cash seven legacies of
100000 each left by her late husband.
The legatees are Leland Stanford Lathrop
of this city, Charles Stanford of New
York and five other eastern relatives of
the late senator. Mrs. Stanford claims
the right to pay these legacies in real
property situated in Alameda, Napa, San
Bernadino, San Mateo and other coun-
ties. The legatees entered a general de-
murrer. The case was heard before
Judge Coffey today. Mrs. Stanford, who
was represented by Russell j. Wilson,
made no contest. In fact, she sent a
cablegram from Europe to Judge Coffey
stating that she desired speedy adjust
ment of the difficulty. Judge Coffey
sustained the demurrer, saying that the
testator evidently intended the legacies to
be paid in cash, and that if this could be
done, without prejudice to the other in
terests, it was so ordered.

MINING COMPANIES AFFECTED.
Stockholders Meet Within the Pro.
vince to Sell Property.

Spokane, Sept. 25.--A dispatch from
Nelson, B. c., gives fuller details of the
recent decision in the case of r, L. Dan
iels VS.. the Gold Hill Mining Company
to set aside conveyance made by the di
rectors in pursuance of powers given
them under the statutes of the state OF
Washington.
Justice Drake, in cancelling the bill
of sale, decided that any company regis.
tered in British Columbia as foreign
company can not dispose of property un-
til a resolution has been passed at spe.
cial general meeting of the stockholders
representing at least two-thirds in value
of the paid up capital stock of the cor
poration, which meeting shall be held
within the province of British Column
bia.
The case will be appealed. 1t will be
matter of interest to know that nc
action of an American company as tc
its property across the line is legal un
less enacted within the province of Brit
ish Columbia and under the statutes
there in force. If this decision stands, II
will open question as to the validity
of number of transactions made in the
past, involving large interests.

UNDER AN AVALANCHE
TONS OF ROCK BURY EIGHTEEN
MEN IN CHILKOOT PASS.
Many Pr0spectors Are Returning, as
There lis No Chance TO Reach
the Gold Fields.

Port Townsend, Wash, Sept. 25.-The
tug Pioneer, which left Puget sound Oh
September IL, with the bark Shirley in
tow, for Skaguay, returned yesterday.
having made the run down in 90 hours.
The Pioneer brings the story of a land
slide which occurred near Sheep camp,
on the Chilkoot pass, last Sunday morn
ing, IN which Is men are said to have
lost their lives. Only one body is said
to have been recovered, that of man
named Choynski, cousin of Joe Choyn-
ski, the prize fighter. The men supposed
to have been lost were packers on the
trail. The officers of the Pioneer say
the story was brought to Skaguay Sun
day evening by three men, who told it in
such way as to leave no doubt as to
its truthfulness. They described the av-
alanche as consisting of rocks, ice and
dirt which had been loosened by the re-
cent rains.
All the bridges on the Skaguay river
have been washed out and the river is a
raging torrent. w. w. Sprague of Ia
coma, who started eight weeks ago with
a three years outfit. returned from
Skaguay on the Pioneer. The steamer
Al-Ki, week overdue from Alaska, ar.
rived this morning at o'clock. She car
ried large list of men returning from
Skaguay who were unable to cross the
pass
The snow is six inches deep at Lake
Bennett, and three inches fell on the
summit of Chilkoot pass last Saturday

DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The Supreme Court Turn Down an
Act of the Legislature.

Olympia, WASH, Sept. 24.-The SUI
preme court has declared unconstitution
al the act passed by the last legislature
relating to the sale of property under exc
cution and the decree and confirmation of
the sheriff's sale, as impairing contracts.
The court was unanimous and declares
that the new mortgage law passed by the
last legislature is unconstitutional. The
act in question provided for years stay
of sale and for the fixing of valuation
by the judgment creditor or judgment
debtor as minimum price to be paid at
such sale. The supreme court says that
under this law the more security that the
mortgage takes the worse position he is
placed in, for if he can not find any one
else he must bid the land in himself and
has then to be responsible for any outlay
which was never contemplated in his orig
inal contract Under the law in exist
ence at the time the contract was made
the mortgage had right to the sale of
the land at once on the issuance of his
execution, subject only to redemption
provided by law. The law now compels
ment before he can have the sale made,
and this provision of the law is retroac-
tive and void.
The clause requiring the fixing of val
uation is at variance with section 10 of
article of the constitution of the United
States, which prohibits a state from pass
ing law impairing the obligation of con-
tracts, and is therefore void.
The starting of the case passed on to-
day had the effect of stopping foreclosures
all over the state, and the outcome was
awaited with great interest by interested
parties all over the country wherein loans
had been made on Washington property.
The law was an outcome of an effort on
the part of the last legislature to aid
mortgage debtors in tiding over hard
times, but has failed in its intention

HELD UP NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN.
Bandits Made a Ffzzle of an At
tempt to Rob the Express.

Moorehead, Mimi, Sept. 27.-The west
bound passenger train on the Northern
Pacific railway was held up 80 miles east
of here at an early hour yesterday morn
ing. 1t is said the express car carried
large sum of money, which the robbers
failed to secure, owing to blunder in
cutting off the cars. The robbery was
the coolest piece of work imaginable. En-
gineer Hoover, just after pulling out of
Elydon, noticed man on the front plat
form of the mail car. A few moments
later the robber climbed over the tank
and at the point of a pistol told the en-
gineer to apply the brakes. The other
robbers came forward, bringing in the
conductor and brakeman. All mounted
the engine, which was again started. The
robber sat on the tank and ordered the
engineer to keep himself moving. Not un-
til the train reached Moorehead was it
known that the engine and mail car had
been cut off from the balance of the train
The other robbers discovered that they
had not cut deep enough into the train
to secure the express safes and they
rapidly despoiled the crew of their
watches and money and made their es-
cape.

BARRIOS AS DICTATOR
PROMINENT MEN HAVE BEEN SHOT
AND OTHERS IMPRISONED.
According to Latest Advices Guate-
mala Borders ON u State
of Anarchy.

San Francisco, Sept. 24.-The following
private dispate has been received in this
city from Champerico, Guatemala, via
Acapulco:
Champerico and San Felipe are both in
the hands of the insurgents. Barrios has
shot and imprisoned prominent men who
sympathize with the revolutionists. The
wives of the revolutionists have also been
arrested Anarchy is feared.
A letter from the city of Guatemala
has also been received. The writer de-
clares that everything at the time of writ
ing was in state of chaos. Barrios, he
says, has lost his head from fright and in
delirium of terror is imprisoning and
shooting all who evince the slightest lean
ing toward the insurgent cause. Loans
are collected by force, and death is the
penalty for refusing financial assistance
to the dictator.
Francisco Castillo, Barrios' captain, UNI
der the orders of his superior, has, it is
asserted, usurped the places of the civil
officers. Barrios himself is in constant
fear of assassination. Two hundred sol
diers sleep in the palace day and night
and he is constantly attended by guard
of picked men, who never leave him alone
accompanying him even to his bath.
The residence of Mrs. Barrios is guard.
ed by large force of police. At the 9th
er country places of the president police
are encamped to prevent the destruction
of property.
Barrillos is occupying neutral position
in the present contest.

offer prize of $3.50, provided Deer Lodge
would add 5000 more. for drills between

charged by subordinate lodges failed to
carry. 1t was decided to establish a
monthly paper to be devoted to the inter-
ests of the order in the state. The re-
ports of officers showed slight falling
off in membership during the past year,
which was attributed to business condi-
tions

Uniform Rank in Montana the grand
chancellor at the grand lodge, X. of p.
