SIT. PAUL, Minn, Oct. 7.-Opinions differ as to the present status or the troubles with the Leech Lake Indians. but even though nothing more follows enough has happened to cause North western settlers to feel somewhat un- settled in their homes for some time to come. There is something of panic in most of the small settlements near Walker, 1t being the center or the Leecn Lake district, and the men in the lum- her camps in that vicinity have quit work and are either in or on their way to Walker. The teachers in the Indian schools and others about the agency have also thought 1t we'll to change their location for the present. There have been some sensational stories from that region to-day, but they do not seem to be well founded. There was certainly no battle to-day, because the troops are all known to be in walker. resting after their hard experiences.

NEWS BROKEN TO
 MRS. M'KiNLEY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-When the startling news of the murder of George Saxton, Mrs McKinley's brother, reached the White House tonight President and Mrs. Mckinley had just come down stairs to receive the mem bers of the Episcopal convention. There was a hurried conference of the officers of the White House as to what should be done to convey the tidings to Mrs. Mckinley, and 1t was finally decided to wait until the guests had departed.
 The President was called aside by Secretary Porter just as the last guest bade him good night and shown brief dispatch from Canton saying that George SaXton was shot and killed this evening. The President tenderly es- corted Mrs Mckinley to the upper part i Of the house and there as gently as the circumstances would admit broke the news to her. Mrs. Mckinley, although at first stunned by the tidings, bore up
 remarkably well. She expressed a de-
 sire for particulars and the President
 at once had telephonic connection made with friends in Canton with whom he ! talked personally for some time All | the officials around the White House,
 respecting the wishes of the President, { are naturally reticent about the affair. l The only announcement made officially | is that the President has received con- ] firmation of the death of MT. Saxton and that he will go with Mrs. McKin- | ley to Canton tonight.
 l Secretary Porter further stated that ! the President would keep his public en- i gagements in connection with the
 Western trip, the only change being ! that he would go from Canton Sunday night instead of leaving here Monday
 morning. as originally planned.

VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 7.-The steam ship Warimoo, which reached port this evening after a smart passage from Australasia and Honolulu, has news that H. M S. Goldfinch has lately an nexed the Duff group of islands, ana several others of the Pacific group, in the name of Great Britain. The seiz- ure of these islands, particularly the Duff. Cherry and Mitre Islands, is con- sidered significant.
 The British warship Mohawk also seized a number of islands, the British flag being planted by her officers on the Santa Cruz Islands, the Reef Islands and the Swallow group. In her trip to the latter islands she ran on reef and was considerably damaged.
 From the particulars given by the officers of the Mohawk, it seems that the Duff group numbers eleven islands, all thickly inhabited by copper -colored natives. The islands are densely wood ed and of great fertility. Mitre Island is uninhabited, but Cherry Island has between 800 and 500 natives on 1t, the same race as the Tocupians. The whole. of the recent annexations have been placed under the control of MT. C. M. Woodford, the British resident in the Solomon group.
 Among the islands over which a pro- tectorate has thus been declared was Vanikoro, celebrated as the place where the ill-fated ships of the French ad- miral. La Perouse, were destroyed JIpon another of the islands of the | Santa Cruz group, seized by the Mo hawk.

 Mrs. George, where were you about o'clock?'
 Mrs. George called Turnkey Becherer and whispered something in his ear. He spoke to the prosecuting attorney and then told her that he could not grant her request. The question as to her whereabouts at the hour named was repeated. She answered in perfectly calm and quiet tone, Pardon me, sir; I will talk when the proper time comes."
 Did you go out on the streetcars about that time?
 There was no answer to the question
 T will say to you, Mrs. George said the prosecutor that If you had noth- ing to do with this, we will not detain you a moment"
 There was no answer and the prose cutor said, Do you know why the offl- cers brought you here?"
 No answer.
 Do you know that Mr. Saxton Is dead?"
 There was no answer save slight twitching of the lips.
 Mir Pomerent then said, "It has been said to me that you threatened to XII him. Is it true?"
 To this and several other questions asked the woman returned no reply whatever.
 Mrs. George was then taken into the women's department No weapon was found on her. The skin of her hands was scraped and will be analysed to see whether there are any traces of powder upon them. She was locked up to await hearing.
 It was common talk that Mrs. George would make frequent threats of taking Saxton's life. Many of these threats are said to have been sent through the mails, and the Federal Grand Jury sit ting in Cleveland last fall indicted her for alleged improper use of the mails Mrs. George gave a bond, and the in- dictment, so far as is known here, is still alive.

INSURANCE AGAINST LOSS Shippers of Export Goods Take
 This Precaution
 BECAUSE OF THE WAR SCARE Cargoes of Iron and Cotton Must Now Be h. sured Against the Risk of Delay "'
 in Delivery.

In these times of war talk, 1t Is inter- esting to note the effects upon the business world outside of the stock markets
 In one particular, at least, "the war" has already effected the business interests of Birmingham, and that is in it's foreign export business. Nearly every ton of iron and nearly every bale of cotton shipped from Birmingham to England and other foreign countries is insured against dam ages which may be occasioned by war be- tween the United States and Spain. .es
 The war risk on iron is one-fourth of one per cent. of it's value or about 1h cents per ton. On cotton the rate is the same; one and one-fourth per cent. -..et
 These risks are taken out on all ship ments in American and Spanish vessels, and on many of the cargoes of English and other ships. Only yesterday the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railway company took out risk for cargo shipped in an English vessel from Pensacola, together with one in Spanish ship.
 The object in taking out these risks Is not so much the fear that the ships will be cautpred and their cargoes confiscated, but to have protection against all losses caused by delays of war, such as stoppage for irregular papers, the liability of the ship to be searched and perhaps taken to another port. Such delays as these, when a cargo is to be delivered in Liverpool at a certain time often cause a heavy loss.
 For instance, local company has con- tract to deliver a certain amount of iron in England at a certain date; should the ship be stopped on the voyage, and the date of delivery missed then the contract is broken and a serious loss may follow to the shipper The insurance companies protect the shipper against all such losses.
 It must be remembered. however, that this war risk Is additional to the regular maratime insurance against losses by ac- cident.
