Mr.. BOutelle RenOminated.

Bangor, Me-, April 11.-Congress-
man Charles A. Boutelle, who has
been in a sanitarium nearly four
months, was renOminated yesterday
by the republicans of the fourth dis
trict on the statement of his family
physician that such action on their
part might effect a cure, whereas
failure to secure a denomination
would probably kill him.
DR.. ID. A. Robinson, the congress-
mans family physician, told the
convention Mr. Boutelle's physical
condition was excellent and that his
mental condition was steadily i'm
proving. He said the nomination of
another candidate would probably
be fatal shock to Mr.. Boutelle and
that his denomination would exert
great influence toward his complete
recovery.
Mr.. Boutelle, who has been a Con-
gresham since 1881, has expressed
desire to leave the sanitarium in
Waverly, Mass, but his physicians
and the family think it best for him
to remain until entirely WELL

A Foreign Country.

New York, June l5.-Judge w. X.
Townsend, in the United States district
court OF the southern district OF New
York, today handed down an opinion in
the case Of John b Goeiz & Co. vs.. the
United States, in which he declared the
treaty OF Paris valid and that the status
OF the people OF Porto Rico is that Of in
habitants of foreign country, as re-
CARDS the constitution of the United
States and within the meaning of the
tariff acts.
Judge Townsend held that Porto Rico
is part Of the United States 80 far as
other countries are concerned, but 30 far
as the constitution OF this country is
concerned, is a foreign country. and that
the United States can govern it without
subjecting it to the burden OF national
taxation and that the status of the in
habitants will remain unchanged until
con gress shall determine it.
The decision OF Judge Townsend af-
firms the decision of the board of general
appraisers assessing a duty of IS cents
per pound on 100 bales OF leef or filler
tobacco.
Judge Townsend said: Before the war
with Spain, Porto Rico was a foreign
country. 1t did not cease to be q foreign
country when it was occupied by the
military forces OF the United States.
"The conquest OF Porto Riocs under
authority of the executive made it ours
by military title. But the presidents
conquests do not enlarge the boundaries
OF this union, nor extend the operation
OF our institutions and laws beyond the
limits before assigned to them by the
Legislative power. Our boundaries could
not be regulated by the varying incidents
of war and be enlarged or diminished as
the armies on either side advanced or re-
treated. In this sense, therefore, our
constitutional boundaries do no. follow
the flag"
Judge Townsend said this could not
only be done by the treaty making power
or legislative authority.

IN BIG LUCK.
Two Grand Junction Men Partici-

of The Atlas Mine.

The following dispatch from Ouray

zens of Grand junction Hon. Benton
Canon and Charles Carroll.
Mr.. Canon has been interested in the
Atlas mine. description of whose sale is
given below, for quite long time. and
he now realizes in large sale his con-
fdence in the property.
Ouray. Colo, June l5.-Charles Car
roll and Benton Canon have sold the At
las mine to the Caroline Mining com.
pany for a consideration OF 100000.
The Atlas vein was cut by the tunnel,
but the showing was go poor that
the Caroline people refused to pay $40 900
for it at that time. Laet year twelve
sacks of ore from the surface yielded
$4,000. 1t is even richer at the surface
than the Camp Bird. A large body Of
lead carrying free gold was opened up
recently. The Caroline can work this
find through the Revenue tunnel, and il
is believed to be worth 100000 to
them.

A Big Grizzly.

Vernal, Utah, June 16.-The officers
of the Wyoming posse that were station
ed at Browns Park to intercept the
slayers Of Tyler and Jenkins, had rath-
er exciting time with big Grizzly bear
during their wait. The men were sta
toned at Jarve's ferry, on Green river,
and one morning two boys, sons OF
James Hacking and Frank Dennis OF
Vernal crossed on the boat en- route
homo from the Jesse Ewing mining dis
trict. AS they were riding up from the
river on this side they saw few yards
in front of them big Grizzly. They at
once rode after him, and bruin squared
himself for action.
Sevela al Of the posse has ened across
the river to take q hand One Of the
men had long rope, and when the bear
was overtaken he deftly threw it over
his head.
Mr.. Bear at once eet up on his launches
and began to draw in the rope. The
rope was wound around the horn OF the
saddle and the horse pulled back with
all his might but slowly bruin drew them
iu, horse and rider, hand over hand fash
ion, until the horse in his fright gave
desperate lunge and gained few feet Of
rope.
Meantime the outfit kept up a fusil-
ade OF pistol shots, which did not seem
to Offset the brute IN the least. The
men had brought no guns, and matters
were beginning to look serious and the
man on the horse at the end OF the rope
was about to desert his post and take it
on foot, when two other members Of the
posse rode up With Winchesters aud
ended the fight.

decision as to possible recommendation
Of q candidate by the New York delega-
tion in Philadelphia until the delegation
got together for discussion of candi-
dates. The delegation with not meet
until Monday.
The senator was asked il he thought
Cornelius N. Bliss would accept the
nomination.
"Would duck swimf" he asked.
Then he said he did not believe Mr..
Bliss could get the support Of the New
York delegation.
He said
II think that Mr.. Woodruff would get
more votes than Mr.. Bliss would in the
delegation. II Mr.. O'Dell would take
the nomination he could have the sup
port OF the delegation. Mr.. O'Dell is a
man OF executive ability, as was Hobart,
and il he were elected vice president he
would fill the place as we'll as Mr.. Ho-
bart did"

The Forrest City times., 1900-03-09

The State Democratic Conven. tion has been called to meet in Little Rock on Tuesday, Juno 26, 1900, and St. Francis county is on. ly entitled to three delegates. This is too bad, really, and is ow- ing to the apathy of democrats which prevented full vote in 1898. St. Francis county is justly entitled to at least ! and perhaps 10 votes in ths State convention, but we can never have them so long as we givo the governor such small majorities.

is any dissatisfaction or hard feel. ings which have been engendered by the primary, we have so far failed 10 hear of it, but on the con- trary all seem 10 be perfectly pleas ed. with the result, and delighted beyond description at the plan adopted to thin down the oandi- dates. The City primary has been a success, and the only wonder is that We had not adopted it long years ago. We congratulate those who have been declared the nomi- nees, and at the same time, also, those who were defeated. They may sleep tho slumber of the pri. vate citizen, and their dreams may not be disturbed by the great ques. tions of government which their friends elect will hereafter have to deal with. and for solution of which, no matter how they vote, they will be pralsed and censured, and peace will be no part of their happy lot.
 We hope the ticket just made will be unanimously elected.
