Washington, February 3.-The indica-
tions are that conrt OF inquiry will be
ordered to investigate and report upon
the truth or falsity Of the statements
alleged to have been made by General
Miles In which the quality of the beef
furnished the troops during the late war
WAS brought in question. The matter
was discussed at come length at today's
cabinet meeting ana although no definite
decision was reached, the consensus OF
opi MON was that such proceeding
should be had 1t was argued that If the
packers who had furnished the beef to
the army had fraudulently supplied an
article of the character charged py Gener-
al Miles the country had right TO know
it, and If the charges were without
foundation the people had an equal right
to know that fact Justice to all CON

also agreed that General Miles should not

New York World: AT Castle Point, Ho-
boken, four sons and a daughter of, the
late Mrs. Martha B. Stevens, former mis-
tress of the beautiful mansion, for gem
erations the home of the Stevens family,
gathered to draw lots. There were rich
prizes for all
Mrs. Stevens left $500, 900, 600 worth Of
real estate and securities and half as
much more in art treasures and family
heirlooms stored in the Homestead, as the
Stevens Castle is known in the family.
The gallery of family portraits, the rich
tapestries and b~rocades, the chint. silver
~statuary, bric-a-brac, colonial and mod
ern furniture, ancient armor. paintings,
engravings, and the thousand and one
articles of value were divided into six
lots-cne each for the five surviving chill
dren and a sixth for the son and daugh-
ter of John Stevens, the elder brother,
who died q few years ago.
The heirs drew numbered cards, and
with each drawing Went a fortune. No
u of them could be induced to sell for
money. Those who took cards were Col

c. Albert Stevens, Robert L., and Rich

mansion built by Richard Stevens for his
bride a few years ago. BY common con-
sent that was made his portion. Colonel
Stevens old home, the Dover house, west
of the homestead, was given to G. Albert
Stevens. The southern portion of the park
was given to John Stevens heirs, and the
intervening tract to Robert Stevens. INK

sharing in the realty partitions, the es-
tate having been left to the sons by old

NEZ PERCES lands

Only 100 miles southeast of the fertile
grain fields of Eastern Washington, be-
tween the Clearwater and Salmon rivers,
lies what was long known as the Nez
PerceS Indian country. only recently
thrown open to settlement n mining.
Since the early sixties when $3S, 900, 900
was washed out of the rich placers of the
Clearwater and Salmon rivers it has been
a tradition among miners that some day
great gold discoveries would be made in
the Nez Perces country. The enormous
cost of transportation, remOteness from
civilization and consequent impossibility
Of carrying on large mining operations
left the rich quartz ledges-the mother
lodes Of the placers-untOuched. Almost
simultaneously with the completion of
the Northern Pacific's Lewiston extern
sion from Spokane. came the announces
ment of the discovery in the Buffalo
Hump range of immense lodges of gold
bearing quartz which, cropping qHut
above the surface, and twenty feetsor
more in width, extend in different direc-
ions for many miles. The rapid extern
sion of the Clearwater Line of the
Northern Pacific, now building along that
river from lewiston, will soon throw this
heretofore almost inaccessible country
open to capital, and modern machinery
with American grit will do the rest. For

New York, May 24.--The Herald says:
The attention of the state department
has been called 20 Tie recent occupation
by japan of Marcus island. m the Paci.
fic. The acquisition of the island by
JaTan has had the effect Of causing a
change in the instructions given to the
collier Nero, which is surveying the cable
route proposed ny Hea Admiral Brad

which was taken possession of by the
gunbOat Bennington in the name OF the
United States. The route recommended
by Rear Admiral Bradford and which the
Nero is surveying contemplated the lay
ing of the cable between Honolulu and
Midway island, acknowledged to be
American. which possesses a harbor. ca

and Midway island is 1,6OO miles. A pro-
position was then considered to connect
Midway and Marcus island, 1850 miles
apart, Guam the next cable station, be-
ing only $40 miles distant from Marcus
island. Marcus island is 1000 miles from
Yokohama and was placed by the United
States man-of-War TuScarOra in 1874 in
latitude 90 degrees 10 minutes north,
longitude 1874 degrees east. Reports re-
ceived at the department regarding Wake
island show that it is of little value for a
naval station, being a few feet above sea
level and frequently submerged. lnfor"
nation has been received at the navy de-
partment that a vessel for surveying the
proposed cable route between Victoria
and Australia is about ready to start. 1t
is understood here that a station will be
established at Tanning island, also Brit
