and two Porters, Francis and Joseph
Tournier, were killed by an avalanche
on the Grand Plateau of Mont Blanc in
October, 1866. The bodies of the guide
and porter were found after week, but
Capt. Arkwright's body was only re-
covered from the ice the other day, 1900
feet below where he died. All except
the feet and head were recovered. The

The ice had preserved in il the red tint
of blood. From the pocket of his gray
waistcoat was drawn a white blue

with his name on it. In the collar was a
gold stud ard in his shirt front a larger
one with diamond star. The debris
of silver cigarette case were in his

ROYAL BONES STOLEN.
Bodies Spared by the Turks seld by
Dishonest Sexton.


Extraordinary discoveries have been
made in Hungary with regard to the
spoliation of the graves of the ancient
| kings. In 1869 the archaeologist, Kolo-
man Henzelmann, searched for the
graves of these long dead rulers, which
had been disturbed and partly de-
stroyed by the Turks during their do
minion there in the bishop of Stuhl-
weissenburg's garden. Southwestern
burg is the old coronation city. He
found n number of stone coffins, and
was able from the inscriptions to ascer-
tain that they were those of the old
kings. He gave them to the care of the
scriptions and fastening tickets with
them into each skull. The mayor seems
to have put all the grisly treasures pell
nell into five large packing cases and
to have thrown the sarcophagi away.
In 1872 the present mayor of Stuhl-
weissenburg learned that there were
bones in the loft of the town hall. What
was to be done with them? He ex-
amined the skulls and found what they
were. He addressed himself to the
chapter of Notwithstanding, and the
packing cases were nailed up and placed
in the vaults of the cathedral, and one
of the deans was made responsible for
them. He never seems to have troubled
about them, however, and a drunken
sexton becsme the real caretaker.
In 1898 the professor of archaeology
Torok received permission to take the
bones to Buda-Pesth for his anthropo-
logical studies. 1t was then found that
and they had been opened. Several
skulls were missing, and packing case
No. had been quite emptied. When
the sexton was questioned, he said that
his predecessor had told him that a
student of medicine named Tuzkay had
received permission from the dean to
take some of the skeletons for his med
ical studies, and that he had made a
liberal use of the permission. This
SANDER applies to n respected doctor
in Buda-Pesth, who has already proved
that he is quite innocent. Dean Johann
Kardey declares that the remains of
King Matthias and Louis the Great are
buried in a separate vault, and were
not touched by the Turks.
The kings to whom the bones and
skulls belonged which are now in such
deplorable condition, or altogether
missing, are st. Emerich- the son Of St.
Stephen, first king of Hungary, Kings

The promiscuous, if not profit.
gate and injudicious use by the
United States attorney of the pow
er to saolie criminal cases comm 9
up daily for disposal, has attract
ed not a little attention and called
forth from some very conservative
citizens quite severe and unfavor-
able comment. A notable in
stance is the case against Chas. d.
Pendleton, of Tahlequah, indicted
by the grand jury for selling in
toxicating liquors in the town OF
Tahlequah. The attorney did not
state that the evidence was not
sufficient to convict, but on the
other hand said something about
the man having suffered enough,
or that the law had been satisfied
in this case. The friends of law
and order in the drir k-cursed, tho
beautiful and classic town of Tah-
lequah, deserved better treatment
at the hands OF the man whose
sworn duty it is 10 enforce the law
as he finds it. The people of this
Indian country are passing through
a change in governmental condi-
tions, and this is the time of all
times, when the public prosecutor
should be a man of ample legal
attainments, and fearless in the
discharge of his duties. Personally
the district attorney is a very
pleasant gentleman, but he does
not, apparently, grasp the situa-
ton, or understand the gravity or
importance of enforcing the law.
The present is not time for light
ly closing ones eyes to grave Of
fenses and dismissing charges
against guilty defendants, but it
is a time when every public
official should rise to the occas-
ion and stand for the proper en-
forcemert of law. When be dis
misses a case against an individual
the governments representative
should be very sure that the evil
dence is not sufficient to convict.
1t is not impossible that Mr..
Pendleton would have been ac-
quilted by the jury had he been
tried. 1t may be that he would
have been borne from the court
room triumphantly upon the
shoulders of his friends like a
conquering hero, but nevertheless,
the law would have been vindicat-
ed and the public satisfied. All
possibility of conviction was, how
ever, rendered impossible by the
action of the attorney.

The attitude of the officials of
the United States courts in the In
dian Territory with reference to
the enforcement of the permit laws
of the tribes is getting TO be very
much mixed. Ii the extension
of the United States laws over the
Indian Territory, and the gra lting
of full jurisdiction TO the same does
not virtually mean the repeal of
the Indian laws, it is certainly
very strange. The act says: "The
laws Of the United States and the
laws of the state of Arkansas in
force in the territory shall apply
to all persons therein" This be-
ing true the law of the Cherokee
nation relative to permits to en-
ploy citizens of the United States
is "dead letter." simply by the
enactment of another Law, or rather
of the extension of the federal
courts over the Indians. 1t is not
at all probable that the courts will
be able to find authority FOR the
application and enforcement of
laws other than those named in
the act. If a portion of the Cher
okee laws can be enforced by the
federal courts, why not all of them?
and if not all of them, where will
the line be drawn? 1t is a very
pretty legal complication, but it
does not even require lawyer to
foresee the ultimate outcome. THE
CHIEFTAIN is willing to prophesy, |
however, that the district attorney
will be sustained in the final ad-
judication of the matter.

A REPRESENTATIVE of this paper
has, since the beginning of the
present term of United States
court here. interviewed a large
number of Cherokee citizens who
are upon the panel of the petit,
and also of the grand jury, with
reference to their sentiments as
regards the federal courts, and
without solitary exception they
are all immensely pleased with
Uncle Sans court. 1t has also
developed that fair and an i'm
partial verdict may be as easily
reached with an Indian jury as
any other. The lawyers have in
some instances appealed directly
to the supposed innate prejudice
of the Indians upon juries, put in
every instance that has come un-
der the observation of the writer
it has been a failure-palpably
and plainly observable in the ver-
dict rendered. The wisest steps
yet taken by the United States
government in the solution of the
Indian question as regards this
territory has been that taken in
comforting complete jurisdiction
upon the federal courts. There is
vastly-more danger in the court
and court officials pandering to
what they believe to be popular
Indian sentiment in order TO make
themselves "solid" with a large
element of the citizenship of the
country, than there is in the dis
loyalty or the prejudice of the In
dians themselves. The Indians
are natural born politicians, it is
true, but IN no sense are they more
prone to act for the sake of policy
than are many white men from
the states who are among them,
both in and out of Office. Human
nature is absolutely the same the
world over, and among every race
of men whether savage or civilized.
The mixed blood Indians in all
the tribes Of this territory are on a
parity with white men, and think,
and act, and have the same ideas
of justice and equity. Placing the
Indians and whites on equal terms
before the law here has been
long and we'll directed stride to-
ward the accomplishment of the
purposes of the government.

THE recent libel suit against the
St. Louis Republic by Stark, the
Jefferson City lobbyist, was de-
cided in favor of the defendant,

lampooned by the press. What's

to build what he calls an Orphan

at Whitaker there is not much

A Story of the War.

The war-department clerk who returned few days ago from a weeks business trip to New York was narrating an experience or two which eventuated while he was in the metropolis, says the Washington Star.
 New Workers" he was saying with an air of man who knew, "have an idea that If New York is taken care of. then all the rest of the country will be amply protected. They are also nervous about the approach of the Spanish fleet with long-range guns. and I fancy if one shot were fired at the town the population of the interior suburbs would be increased a million or two in fif- teen minutes. They have got recruiting stations in the parks, and are picking up all the able-bodied men they can get: and thereby hangs a tale. One day nervous, hunted kind of a fellow, about 30 years of age, came In and said he wanted to enlist. The officer in charge knew that the man had either a past or domestic infeliclty, but as he had the appearance of having health enough and size he was put through the regular course and accepted. Then it cropped out that he was enliSting in order to escape from the temper of his wife, Of whom he was in mortal terror, at the same time admiring her strong points. Two days after his enlistment he was met by dozen fellow-recruits around headquarters

 The Gussie expedition did not fail entirely Two native Cuban scouts were landed west of Havana on second out. The Spanish guerillas had been assigned to the duty of patrolling the shore A boat from the Gus sic landed twenty men. They had hardly set foot on shore before furious volley was fired at them by the guerillas, who were concealed in thickets on the crest of the low hills. The American party ad- vanced, were halted when in range and the order fire" was given. They fired as one man, sending three volleys at the guerilas who scattered like chaffl before the wind. Five of them were killed, including a cap- tain, whose bloody cap and sworod were taken and brought back as trophies. The two scouts made their way on into the in- teriOr.

and Belt railroad, would consent to the use Of that company's tracks on Eleventh ave- nue, South. This expressly declined to do, informing him that I had no authority and the two companies had no connection.
 This proposition was again renewed on the day the first injunction was issued and again declined.
 T have written several letters to MT Jemison and MT McClary, informing them that I would not under any circumstances consider the proposition, but the persistency with which the matter is kept in the papers leads me to believe that they do not desire to understand what 1 have so plainly stated.
 That the public may fully comprehend the situation, simply desire to state, first, that have no authority to consent to the use of any part of the Highland Avenue and Belt railroad tracks by any other com pany; second, if I did have authority, I should never consent to the use of my clients property in return for something to be given to another company in which I am pecuniarily interested, nor will I have this matter made the subject of compro- mise, arbitration or any other settlement so far as the Traction company is concerned.
 ''The right of acquiring the use of any tracks in the streets of Birmingham is se- cured by every franchise ever granted by the city, and the means of enforcing this right are open to every company operating street railroads, and tris is well known to the officers of the Birmingham Railway and Electric company.
 "Of course, what I have said Is without considering the fact that the Highland Ave- nue and Belt railroad Is in the hands of a receiver of the federal court, who has the sole and exclusive possession and control of its property"
