r. G.. Chamberlain of the Dominion

Indian agent at Lac Seul, arrived at
Winnipeg with three Indians in their Gus
tody. Two of the Indians are charged
with shooting their chief at Cat lake,
about $50 miles northeast of Dinordwic.
The chief Of the Cat Lake Indians, call

and ordered the prisoners to shoot him.
A council of the tribe was called and
they discussed the matter for two days,
when they arrived at the conclusion that
the chiefs orders would have to be obey

and indicated with his hand where they
were 10 shoot him. After he was dead
wood was heaped upon his body and the
FIRE kept going for two days, thereby, ac-
cording to the belief of the Indians, thor

are non-treaty Indians special legislation
was passed to cover the case. Constable

William Rockefeller has been elected Z
member Of the executive committee OF
the New York Central Company at the
meeting which authorized an issue Of
$15, 000, 900 additional stock. The New

render OF the New York, New Haven
and Hartford system to the New York

weeks ago. He and his brother, John ID.
Rockefeller, have never heretofore COM
manded any influence in New York Cen
trail affairs, although they have for sew
eral years held big block of its stock.
But they have been important factors In
the management of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford system. William
Rockefeller'se election to the executive
committee OF the Central Is, therefore.
accepted as an indication that the union
of the two systems will shortly follow.
The next step In the deal will. 1t is be-
leved by railway men, be the absorption
of the Boston and Albany. the Boston

interests under the auspices of the VAN

Huehn's Hall was crammed to the
doors when Dowie and his band appear
ed on the stage, and the moment he at
tempted to speak the hostile demonstra-
ton commenced. His every word was
met with cat calls, jeers and slurring re-
marks. The din became so deafening
that Dowie sought refuge behind the
scenes. The noise continued until 10
o'clock, when Dowie left the building by
a rear entrance. The mob, armed with
clubs, stones and mud, followed, and an
exciting chase ensued. Dowie, surround
ed by his allies, ran three blocks to where
an electric car was in waiting. He was
struck several times, and his clothes were
besmeared with mud. The car on which
the fugitive took refuge was besieged for
several minutes, all the windows in It
broken and the passengers, in addition to
the Dowie party, were thrown into panic.

BRITONS WANT THE NEWS.
Great Indignation at the "Doctor

Great Indignation at the "Doctor-
ing" of Reports.
There is great indignation in London
because of the method of the War De-
partment in "doctoring" official reports
Of the fighting in Natal. Field Mar
shall Lord Wolseley, who has given out
only meager information, calling it "A
summary of the situation" is coming in
for condemnation on all sides. 1t is like
ly that strenuous public demand will be
made for a return to the earlier meth
DDS, when reports from the commanders
in the field are given out in full as soon
as received.
The new practice has only tended to
increase the tension, as it appears to be
the policy to withhold bad news. The
public, however. feels that it would be
better to know Of reverses at once. 1t
is realized that the Government controls
all telegraphic communication with South
Africa, and that press dispatches are
sadly mutilated. Official dispatches, it is
argued, should therefore be made public
as quickly and as fully as the interests
of the country will permit.

more to a parity with demand. The sit

of nearly 70 per cent of their capacity for
next years delivery. In all 100000
tons of rails are reported to have been
booked. Wheat, including -four, ship

KNOCKS OUT THE NEW LAW.
Decision that Alleged Members OF a

Decision that Alleged Members OF q
Trust May Refuse to Testify.
Judge Gates Of the Kansas City Circuit
Court decided that A. n. Doerschuck,
druggist was right in refusing to answer
questions asked him in proceeding
brought by the Attorney General to show
that Doerschuck and other druggists
were In o combine or trust. Judge Gates
said: IF he was compelled to testify in
the case now pending he might have to
give evidence upon which an indictment
or criminal information might be based
and upon which he might be convicted OF
a misdemeanor. This cannot be permit
ted. Our constitution vouchsafes to ev-
cry person, however humble he may be,
the privilege and the right to refuse to
bear testimony against himself" The
great Importance of the decision Of Judge
Gates is in the fact that he holds that
the State laws regarding pools, trusts and
combines are criminal laws, and that
person charged with violating those laws
cannot be forced to testify against him
self. The last Legislature passed law
that IL the Attorney General had reason
to suspect that anyone was a party to
trust he might, in summary proceeding.
obtain his evidence. Under the decision
by Judge Gates this law defeats itself
and is void

an estate the gross value of which IS plac-

of the fortune, about $50, O00 900, and he
is thus made the head of the family. Cor

The delay in filing the will for probate
and the family conferences held recently
are explained by an announcement by
Senator Depew. 1t was as follows:
When Alfred Vanderbilt returned he de-
cided, from brotherly affection and for
family harmony, to take outfof his own
inheritance and give to his brother Cor
nelius a sum sufficient to make che for
tune of Cornelius the same as that OF
his brothers and sisters. This has been
accepted by Cornelius in the same spirit
This means that Alfred will turn over to
Cornelius $6,OOO,O00. Cornelius accept
ance of this and his consent to waive a
citation of the will is proof sufficient that
there will be no contest for the Wander
bilt fortune.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Perry 8. Heath In his Forthcoming an

carriers and railway postal clerks; that
the postofIice appropriation shall be
made interchangeable; that the unexpend-

transferred to other appropriations, and
that where consolidation Of postoffices is
deemed advisable, and the same may be
effected under the existing law, the
money saved thereby be made available
for clerk hire and other expenses at the
newly established Offices. The depart
ment has again urged the special atten-
ton of Congress to the necessity for
reclassiication of clerks in first and sec

will also ask for substantial increase
for additional clerks, also for the pay
ment of substitutes for clerks on vaca-
ton in the smaller offices and material
increase in the appropriation for tempo
rary clerks at summer resorts, election
