CABINET IS CONCERNED.
Devoted an Extra Hour to Discus
sion of Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-The cabinet
meeting today lasted two hours and a
half, an hour longer than usual. After
the adjournment the members were I'M
usually reticent. One member said that
the president had cautioned them against
making any statement about the meet
ing today. 1t can be stated, however,
that the discussion related to the Philip
pines, and there is reason to believe
that 1t was in reference to military and
naval plans which are to be plac5d in
operation soon.
Fully an hour Of the session Of the
cabinet was consumed in a discussion
Of the political outlook, especially in
Ohio, some of the members having re-
ceived advices from their friends engaged
In the campaign, conveying an accurate
statement of existing conditions. There
was some talk as to the preparation
al New York, but no attempt was made
to reach conclusion. The Philippine
discussion was brought about through
newspaper publications of recent date
purporting to outline the treaty or ar
rangement which Gen. Bates has made
with the sultan Of Zulu archipelago. Sec
rotary Root took occasion to point out
the unsoundness and unfairness, as he
alleged, of the criticisms which have
rangement, especially where they relate
to the question of slaveholding in the
islands.

C0EUR D'ALENE TROUBLES.
Great Meeting I'm Cincinnati i'm Be-
half of the Miners.

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 27.-An enormous
meeting was held tonight at Music hall,
the officers of which were Of the Central
Labor Council of Cincinnati, and speakers
were Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and Edwin
Boyce, of Butte, Mont, president of the
Western Federation of Miners. Fully
5000 men remained during the two long
speeches.
The announced purpose Of the meeting
was to protest against The treatment Of
prisoners held in the Occur d'Alene region,
In the bull pen. Before the speaking be-
gan the resolutions were read. The first
resolution was a demand of the president
Of the United States to enforce the con-
stitution, especially the sixth section.
The second resolution demanded of the
president the withdrawal Of the United
States troops from Shoshone county The
next resolution demanded a court-martial
Of Gen. Merriam and his subordinate off,
GERS The last resolution was that all
the federal, the military and civil officers
responsible for the alleged illegal acts
committed by them should be held to the
StIictest accounta bility.
President Gompers said that he was
in the mining region, near the scene CT
the uprising in Shoshone county, but
few days before 1t occurred. He said
by conversation with men who knew
about the situation he learned the condi-
ton Of affairs at Wardner, Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mines. He vehemently de-
MED that any labor organization had any
thing whatever to do with that uprising.

DISTRIBUTIyE TRADE.
Brndstreet's Report Shows Quiet
ing Down in That Direction.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: quiating down of
distributiVe trade, more particularly at
retail, is reported in telegraphed advices
to Bradstreets this week, growing out of
the unseasonably warm weathe now be-
ing experienced in most sections of the
country. Reflection of this is found in
less urgent orders received by jobbers
and in somewhat impaired collections at
many points. AS regards prices, however,
there is no appreciate loss of strength
the great majority of quotations remain
ing steady, and among those making
changes advances are still most numer-
Gus. That this condition of the coun-
try remains at an unprecedented volume
is testified TO by the heavy gains noted
in bank clearings over a year ago, and
by the immense increa seS in lai Way earn

Indianapolis Case That Involves In

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 27.-The big
fight in the federal court between the
rival stock yards concerns of this city,
in which the leading lawyers of the city
are engaged, involves many other cities
throughout the country-in fact every
city where there is more than one stock

The attorneys have been arguing for
four days whether or not Judge Baker

agreement to handle cars of stock only

Of the most important that has been in

years. For this reason stockmen from
all over the United States are interested.
A decision by Judge Baker is expected

LANDS At CASS LAKE
THE CASE IN WHICH MIR. WHITE,
OF ST. PAUL, is INTEREST,"
ED ARGUED
AN APPEAL IS ANTICIPATED
Action Likely to Be Taken to the
Supreme Court of the United
States Before Title to the Disput-
ed TOwnsite' Section Is Quieted-
Early Ruling by the Interior De-
partment Expected.

WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-Assistant At
torney General Vandevanter of the in
terror department heard arguments today
on the application of Reuben Gray and
Edward B. Glass to locate lands en-
braced in Cass Lake tcwnsite with mis-
sionary scrip under the treaty of 1897
This IS the case In which A. A. White
of ST. Paul has appeared so prominently
and which has been decided adversely by
local officers and by Land Commissioner
Hermann. Under the treaty of 1855, min
listers and missionaries are allowed to
enter 100 acres of land within the limits
of the Chippewa reservation, and Gl ass
and Gray claim to come within this
favored class. The treaty of 1889 provides
that unallotted lands shall be sold for
their timber value or to homesteaders,
and the question with relation to the
Cass Lake lands IS whether, under this
treaty, congress has specifically designat
ed the manner of disposing of these, and
thus barred Glass end Gray's right to
locate with their missionary scllp AS
above stated, the decisions here. ofore
have been adverse to their claims.
Quick action on the part of Judge Van
devanter will be necessary, as 1t is desir-
able 20 clear the record In time for the
sale next Wednesday. Argument for
claimants was made by Orville Rinchart,
of Minneapolis. A. A White was pr, s.
ent but did not make formal appe ar
ance in the case. No intimation was
given by the claimants that they int nd
to bring proceedings tc restrain the sec
rotary from selling Cass Lake lands.
Evidently the government expects in
junction proceedings in case Whites ap-
peal is not sustained, but it is very doubt
full If White will undertake TO enjon the
st. Cloud land office at this date. He can
get into the supreme court by some legal
process.
During the hearing some interesting dis
closures were made relative to the Ly-
deck claim to section 49, on which the
townsite Is located. According to the le-
port Of the special agent, MIS-. Nellie Ly-
deck, IL a suit made affidavit that her
legal residence had been at Grand Rapids,
Mimi, for mere than year. This, 1t is
held. would separate her from the Oak
Point reservation and sever her tribal
relations.
1t is sort of civil service deal, the
same as in the case of departmental
employee being out of office for more than
q year is barred without taking another
examination. The interest in the out
come of the Cass Lake case is evidently
quite intense Congressman Eddy and
Morris received several kilograms of in
Quiry today regarding the status of The
matter.
