WAS WON BY MALLORY.
sDokane Men Lose Their Grub-Stake
Suit.

Seattle, Jan 26.-An opinion in which
every miner and prospector IS deeply IN
terested has been rendered by Federal
Judge Hanford. 1t was in suit brought
against Thomas II. Mallory by NJ. \.
Cisna and seven other citizens of Spokane
for share in the mining claims owned
bv Mallory in the Klondike district.
The principal point involved in the case
was how long does a grubstake contract
last, no limitation being set i'll the terms
of agreement In deciding the case Judge
Hanford said:
Il consider that the contract can not be
fairly construed so as to create any right
of the plaintiffs to property situated III a
distant foreign country, purchased by Nal
lorv with his own money more than two
wears after the agreement was entered
into. Grubstake contracts will be en-
forced by the courts, but only as other
contracts. Tt is not enough for parties to
assert that they have rights in order to
secure legal protection, but they must be
able to prove in each case a clear and def
mite contract, and by terms and condi-
tions in compliance Herewith, that rights
have become vested
The court concludes by holding that the
showing made by the plaintiffs was in
sufficient and the application for an in
junction pendente lite is denied.

PARTICULAR AS TO DETAILS.
Sausage Maker Tells of His Actions
on the Fatal Night.

Chicago, Jan. 23.--When Luetgert took
the stand yesterday he was apparently
much more composed and answered the
questions propounded to him by his coun-
sci in a firm voice. The defendant was
inclined to go into more details than his
attorney, Harmon, desired. When asked
to pay less attention to detail, Luetgert.
with some show of anger, said he would
tell his story thoroughly OF not at all
The most important feature of Luet-
gert's recital was his explanation Of the
presence of potash in the factory. He
said it had been in the factory nearly two
months before the day of his wife's dis
appearance That it had not been con-
cealed, and that he was to make soft soap
out of it. The prisoner also told of his
sleeping in the factory, which he explain
ed was necessary because there were many
things which he had to attend to at night.
Luteeert told of his going home on the
night of May !, and then said: Il saw
my wife sitting i'll the kitchen reading a
paper. ] could not find the tea and asked
her where it was She said she did not
know; that the girl always attended to
that. The girl was in bed. I found the
tea in the baseemnt pantry and went up
stairs again. There | saw Louis and my
wife" Luetgert told next of speaking to
Louis and of carrying the lantern, which
he always did, in going to the factory.
in answer to a question he said: 81 turn

Yes: that was the last time I saw my
wife. ''Luetecrt had his eyes fixed OH the

that dog teams and men on foot can make

CHILE ON THE VERGE OF WAR.
To Place the Country in Condition

New York, Jan. pa special to the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chilli, says:
Despite the denial of the Chilian minis
ter at Washington of the possibility of a
conflict between Argentina and Chill, the
near possibility of a rupture causes poll
ticians and merchants grave apprehension.
When the war talk has somewhat subsid-
ed, it is believed that at meeting Of
worl<men to be held on Sunday, the gov
ernment will be forced to show it's hand.
La Tribune confirms the news already
cabled to the Herald, that congress has
given the government full power to place
the country in state of defense, and adds
that the government has been authorized
to contract a foreign loan for this purpose
of necessary.
The Chilean government is negotiating
with steamers trading along this coast to

sells up the coast to Central American
ports. Mr.. Stobel, formerly United States

NUMBER %.
A BIG FIRE IN SPOKANE.
Feared That Five Lives Were Lost.
Together With 100000 in
Property.

Spokane Jan. 25.-A fire i'll which close
stroyed and at least five lives lost. took
place last night The Great Eastern
block, at the corner of Post street and
Riverside avenue, five stories in height
and constructed of brick, caught fire
about Has p m., and in two hours was
demolished. About 80 per cent of the
loss is covered by insurance, so far as can
be learned
All OF the upper two floors and part of
the third floor were used for lodging pur
poses, and at least $50 people We're asleep
in the building when the fire started.
While most of them escaped with only
their night clothes, it is thought num-
Der perished.
The Great Eastern block was built in
1899 at cost of $25O,00O, and was owned
by Louis Levinsky of San Francisco, who
carried but 1000 worth of insurance. On
the ground floor of the structure were the
establishments of John w. Graham & Co.
books, stationery and supplies, and Skier
rett 4 Donnelly, boots and shoes.
Both are total losses Graham carried
Il stock worth $4,000, 20 per cent of
which is covered by insurance. The firm
of Skerrett & Donnelly had a stock of
$4,000, of which $4,000 was covered by
insurance.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
have been i'll the engine room. Mrs Stark
Oliver wife of DR.. Stark Oliver. who lives
on the second floor, says she heard an ex-
plosion shortly before the aflmes appeared.
The boiler of the engine may have explod-
ed and caused fire to have been set. There
is another theory, and that is that chemi-
calls in the basement, stored there for the
Photographic supply department of John
w. Graham & CO., exploded

And softly whispered unto ine
Il love you."


And softly whispered unto lne
Il love you.'
Her dainty arms were round my neck;
Her sunny curls were i'll my face;
And in her tender eyes | saw
The soul Of innocence and grace.
And like a sunbeam gliding through
The clouds that hide the skies Of blue,
Her smile found access to my heart
And bade the shadows all depart.

Ia which saw the stately ships,
That erstwhile sailed away from me,
Come riding back across the sea:
would you might return and stay
Within my lonely heart alway.
God bless the darling little child
Who looked up i'll my face and smiled,
And wrought into my heart spell
More sweet than songs Of Israel.
O, angels. listen while pray
That you will make her life as sweet
AS that brief moment was to me,
Whene'er l heard her lips repeat,
81 love you"

foreign office sends it's regrets that the

Railway Building.

By the beginning Of the twentieth
century the United States will have
nearly 20O,0 900 miles of railway in oper-
alton. When it is remembered that a
mile Of railway costs on the average
$4,000, it will be seen how much money
is invested in the iron roads.
The last great year of railway build
ing in the United States was 1887. By
that time tho great impetus received
from the civil war and the opening of
the vast wheatfelds Of the northwest
had spent itself. Roads west and south
had been put through regions where
they would not pay for dozen years.
Rival lines had been constructed where
there was only business for one, and
both were crippled. The only thing to
do was to wait and let the people grow
up with the railroads. Iii some locali-
ties they have done this, in others not.
In 1887 there were constructed in
this country 1858 miles Of railway.
Then the construction fever stopped.
The next year tho miles Of new road
dropped to 2, 106. Since then year by
year the number has fallen rapidly till
1897. Not even the development Of the
popular trolley system could swell the
footings. In 1896 the figures were
l,848, the lowest in ten years. In 1897,
however, the business began to look up
ing 1864. The present year the increase
will be considerably more than this. Tt
is to be sincerely hoped the dividends of
the roads stockholders will Increase
even more in proportion than the rate
OF railway track laying.

Patents Not Worth Much.

Mr.. Thomas A. Edison was quoted
some years ago as saying that it did
not pay to take out d patent on any in
vention, however valuable. His way is
to keep his methods and processes se-
cret and do his own manufacturing.
This was the conclusion at which he
arrived after long experience Of patent
offices and patent litigation. In like
manner Mr.. HARDWOOD Huntington re-
plies to his own question in The Forum,
els it worth while to take out pat
ent?". thus: "No, if you can possibly
avoid it, -
Mr.. Huntington recommends the in
ventor to keep his device or process tc
himself if he possibly can. He mentions
several historic patent lawsuits and the
tortuous windings through which they
passed in support Of his opinion. In
truth, the way patent office laws and
lawsuits now stand, it seems enough to
break a man up to find out even a val
liable secret of invention or discovery.
The drawings, the patent office solicit
ors, the examinations and expert opin-
ions are luxuries of the costliest sort,
yet they must be had. Then if the in
vention is really worth anything the
chances are as to 1000 that somebody
else will claim it and ruinous lawsuit
will be begun. This experience was
What made Edison turn his back on the
world, so to speak, after few years of
litigation and retire to the wilds of
Menlo and set up his own laboratory
and workshops, manufacturing his own
inventions.
One is led to conclude from Mr..
Huntington S paper that where patents
are necessary they are only necessary
evils at best.
