SPOKANE, Feb. 1s.-iSpecial.-The action
Of soonsrs in rushing into the south half
of the ColviIle reservation for the pur-
pose OF locating claims in advance OF the

lowing telegram received from Senator
Wilson:
WASHINGTON. Feb IA telegram to

been rushing into the reservation ia vto-
lation OF the law, and the same has been
called TO my attention. / fear if they do
not desist and leave the reservation it viii

From a reliable source comes the report
that to men holding official positions under
the government in this city and stats Is
LARGELY due the present invasion of the
reservation. IL is said that under the
cloak of official authority some. of these
officials have previously made excursions
into the reservation for the purpose OF
making secret locations OF the richest
mineral lodges, In order 10 lose no time In
hunting out good claims when the rush
comes at the opening of the reservation.
1t is now said that government officials
have sent men into the reservation with
Instructions TO guard these secret loca-
lions with force If necessary, and, as
further precaution TO get word TO these
men. Ii is reported that government SER
wants have secured a monopoly on the
means of transportation across the Co
iumhia river. which forms the southern
boundary OF the reservation. whereby
they can prevent rush OF tntruders from
crossing over until the syndicate has had
ample time TO make good their locations IN

OXEN DELAY THE FUNERAL.
Ancient Custom RigidIy Observed at
the Obseauies of the Empress
of japan.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19.-Oriental adj
vices per steamship China state that the
remains of the late dowager empress OF
Japan were buried In great state at Kyoto.
Considerable difficulty was found in max
ing the proper arrangements for trans
porting the body TO Kyoto. Ancient Gus
tom required that three oxen, harnessed
one after the other. should draw the flu
neral car. The one between the shafts
must have black and white spots on the
body, white star on the forehead and
white stockings on all four legs. The one
Immediately in front of the shafts must
have a dun skin. with black hecks. and
the leader must be pure black. Much
search was required to find the first OF
these three. bat at last he was discovered
at a remote place In the country, and the
funeral arrangements were then carried
out.
An ancient law provides imperatively
that the oxen drawing the funeral car OF
one of the royal family must be marked
in the manner described.
