Seattle, Wash, Jan. 24.-An opinion
III which every miner and prospector is
deeply interested was rendered today
by Federal Judge Hanford. Ii was IN
a suit brought against Thomas @. Nal
lory by NJ a Cisna and seven other
citizens of Spokane, for a share in the
mining claims owned by Mallory in the
Klondike district.
The principal point involved in the
case was how long does q grubstaAe
contract last, no limitation being set
in the terms of agreement.
In deciding the case, Judge Hanford
said:
= consider that the contract cannot
be fairly construed so as to create any
right in favor of the plaintiffs to prop
erty situated in a distant foreign couh-
try, purchased by Mallory with his own
money more than two years after the
agreement was entered into.
-'Grubstake contracts viii be en-
forced by the courts, but only as other
contracts. 1t is not enough for parties
to assert that they have rights in order
to secure legal protection, but they
must dc able to prove in each case q
clear ard definite contract, and by
terms and conditions in compliance
Herewith, rights have become vested
The court concludes by holding that
the showing made by the plaintiffs was
insufficient and the application for an
Injunction pende lite is denied.

PANIC IN A SCHOOL.
Resumption of Fire Drill Brought Too
Much Realism.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Through an error

Harrison street. Serious results must

Hitch and the teachers showed calm
ness and presence of mind.
For a long time Principal Hitch has
given his pupils a fire drill. 1t was the
custom in the school at times for the
principal to suddenly ring a large bell,
and every scholar and all teachers were
carefully instructed in what they must
do in order that all of them might reach
the street in safety. The drills had been
discontinued for some time and today
the principal thought it good time to
see how much the pupils had forgotten.
He accordingly rang the bell suddenly
In one of the rooms containing the
youngest children there was some eX
element. but it was quickly checked by
the teacher, who soon had all of the
children in line and passing rapidly
through the door.
The first boys to reach the street
began to cry Fire. after their custom
when the fire drills were in progress,
and a man who was passing, thinking
the school was on fire, ran to the cor

What Germany Obtained By Her In

Officially named by Germany had also
been punished and proceedings had
been instituted for the punishments OF
the actual perpetrators of the crime.
econdly.-China had promised TO pay
5000 taeIs for the material losses at the
mission.
Thirdly.-As atonement of the death
of the missionaries, three churches
were to be erected, each provided with
an imperial tablet showing them 70 be
under the protection of the Chinese
emperor one at Tsin-Nig; another at
Tsao-C hou-Fou. and a third at the
place where the murders were COM
mitted. China grants $4,000 taels for
each church and free sites. Another
$4,000 taels is assigned for building
seven secured residences for the Catho-
lie prefecture of Tsao-Chou-fou-
Fourthly-A special imperial edlct is
issued for the protection of the German
missions.
China" Baron Won Bulow explained,
has thus complied with all our de-
mands. Bishop Amer regards the i'm
perial protection tablets as extremely
advantageous. The privilege is rarely
accorded and will considerably heighten
the prestige of the Catholic mission
aries in the eyes of the Chinese.
THE German government believes 1t
has done all that is necessary for the
prevention of further oUtrages. The
best guarantees. however. are the per-
manent presence. under the treaty, of
German men-of-war and a garrison at
Kiao Chou, by which it is hoped the
authorities and population of China
will not again forget that no wrong
done to German subjects will be al
lowed to pass unpublished"
Baron Won Gulow, in concluding, said
that the negotiations with reference to
the construction of railways and the
working of coal mines would proceed
favorably. The government chose
Kiao Chou because it was not too near
the French and British spheres of in
terest or Russia's sphere of power.
Kiao Chou was not an Eldorado, but
expert judges predicted for it a sound
and steady commercial development.
