The Explanation.

1t is said that no West Virginians
apply for places in the University.
Probably this is due to the fact that
the West virginians have found out
that no West Virginians need apply.
They are not the slowest people in
the world.

The Secretary OF the Interior has rem
dered decision, which, it is said nulli-
fies one of the sections of the law enacted
at the last session of Congress for the
government of the Territory of Alaska.
Article l42 of the act Of Congress ap-
proved March 5, 1S99 entitled, AN act to
define and punish crime in Alaska and to
provide a code of criminal procedure for
said district" provides:
That if any person shall. without the authority
of the United States, or any duly authorized obi
Ger thereof sell, barter. or give to any Indian
CT half-breed who lives or associates with In
dians, any frealm or ammunition therefor what
ever, any Spirituous, malt. or vinous liquor.
such person. upon conviction thereof, shall be
punished by imprisonmont for period of not
less than two nor than six months, and by
a fine of not less than 500.
H. Liebe G Co. and the Cape Smythe
Whaling and Trading Company, both OF
San Francisco. on April II, asked permis
sion to sell firearms and ammunition to
the Indians at the companies stations IN
Alaska. They stated in their application
to the Secretary of the Interior that the
companies dealt in furs, ETC.; that the fire
arms are necessary to the Indians as a
means of obtaining subsistence, and that
the companies have hitherto supplied fire
arms 10 such persons without objection
from the Government.
The Secretary of the Interior replied as
follows: 4 have TO state that BY exscu-
tive order dated December /, 1895, all re-
stricticns and prohibitions placed upon
the Importation into the Territory of Alas
ka of breech- loading rifles and ammunition
therefor and the sale thereof within that
distric. were revoked, and permission was
! given 10 introduce such rifles and ammuni-
ton into the district for sale, excepting,
! however, from the effect OF such proclama-
! tiCa, tia restrictions reg lrding the Intro
/ duction OF firearms and ammunition
! upon the islands Of st. George and st.
Paul The Secretary Of the Treasury states
! that he perceiyes no objection 10 granting
! this permission. Therefore, in considera-
/ ticn CT the facts the said companies are
accordingly authorized 10 sell. barter. or
| give to any Indian or half-breed who lives
| or associates with Indians in PoiEt Hope
! district. etc. firearms, ammunition, etc.
This decision. il is said. is most ifnpor-
| tant, and will have the effect OF practi-
cally rendering null and void one OF the
most obnoxious laws recently enacted for
Alaska.

CLEWs TO sHAW's MURDER.
He Hay Have Net Death on Pleas
ure Yacht.

Narragansett Pier. n. f. Aug. 16.-Cir-
cumstances have been discovered which, it
is thought, may have a bearing on the
death of Frank n. Shaw. OF Brooklyn.
whose body, bound hand and foot, was cast
ashore last Friday by the tide on Scarbor-
ouSh Beach.
Off the Casino last Wednesday a small
sail yacht came TO anchor, and three men
put out from her in a small boat and came
ashore. The description of one of these
men resembles in many respects that of
Shaw. This man was attired in blue suit
and wore an outing shirt, high collar, dark
tie, and straw hat. His complexion was
light, and he was smooth shaver. this lat
ter being the only point in which the de-
scription differs from that Of Shaw.
This mans companions called him Frank.
He was of athletic figure. His companions
were of large build and athletic appear
ance. One was of light complexion, and
wore a light summer suit. He had sandy
mustache The third man was dark and
had a black mustache. He wore blue
suit and straw hat Of the seasons style
All the men had been drinking, and they
visited drinking places here and then went
to a barber shop. There they told that they
had come from Newport, were out for
good time, and intended to sail to Proyi-
dence The party sailed out into the bay,
and has rot been seen since around Narra-
sett.
Another incident which may have some
connection with the Scarborough Beach
tragedy is furnished by steam launch
which appeared off the South Pier, near
fuckers dock. on Thursday night From
this launch in the early evening three men,
all big and athletic. came ashore. Evil
IDENTIFY they were strangers at Narragan-
sett Two wore blue sweaters, while the
third was dressed in blue suit and wore
straw hat
They visited dance halls, and after mid
night Chief of Police Champlin ~"w them
wandering about the pier, showing the ef-
fects of liquor.
4 mysterious telegram came to the Math-
ewson last Wednesday or Thursday ad-
dressed TO a man AT the house. Whom this
telegram was for nobody seems to know,
but il was redirected and sent to the steam
launch off the South Pier, and delivered
on board the craft, which early on Friday
| morning put to sea
That Shaw was not murdered on a Sound
steamer is a growing belief, as nearly all
o. the boats report no passengers missing
The theory that Shaw was murdered on a
Yacht or launch is regarded as not unrea-
sonable. A private inquest may be con-
Quoted here on Wednesday by Coroner
Burns The inquest has been ordered by
the attorney general Of the State. Two de-
tectives from Brooklyn are here at work on
the mystery.

the Nebraska MINIS Nomination.

UNLESS Mr.. Reed has changed his mind
and wants to worry somebody, hardly
think he will remain in Congress" said
Representative Bankhead, of Alabama, to
Times reporter this afternoon. 1T may
be, however, that the gentleman from
Maine has decided to reconsider the matter
and retain his seat in the House. OF
course if he does he could not hope to be
eelcted Speaker again, because the yari-
Gus State delegations have in caucuses
pledged themselves TO General Henderson.
Mr.. Reed could make it very interesting
should he conclude to remain in Congress.
He has strong personality and would
prove thorn in somebody's flesh"
Representative Bankhead said he was
surprised to read in the Washington pa
pers several weeks ago that he had at
tended an anu-Bryan meeting in Saratoga.
y. Y. Il haven't been in Saratoga" said
he, "and il is well known that Alabama
