The House has passed the bill
regulating mining at Cape Nome
and giving force to the statutes
adopted at the miners meeting in
that country. Conditions there are
peculiar. The act Of 1898 reserves
along the coast and shores of all
waters in Alaska a highway of six
ty feet in width and the riparian
rights as the property Of the gov
ernment. Lust year the richest
deposits Of gold were found upon
this reservation and the beach be-
tween it aud low water, which is
termed tide land." Although for
b dden by strict Interpretation of
law, no power on earth can prevent
the miners from washing the sand
along the seushore, and in order
that they may do so pcaceably it
, is necessary TO make some kind Of
regulations under which it may be
permitted. The new bill permits
claims 25 feet wide. which miners
meetings may increase to 300 feet
if they see fit.

TIME CARD o. 5. l.. Ry.
z. N 4 o. Progress.

The b. N. q 0. railroad is being
rapidly built. 1t hass been com
pleted for sometime from Nampa
south to Murphy distance of 81
miles. Last winter work was be-
gun in extending the road north
ward from Nampa. The grading
is finished 10 Boise river, a distance
of nine miles, and a bridge is now
being put in across that river.
Contracts have be IL let to Smith
d Co. for the grading Of nineteen
miles, extending more thana halt
mile beyond Emmett. The work
of grading has begun. Several
teams and men are at work on the
cut which is being made where the
road enters the Payette valley
about eight miles from town. This
cut is the heaviest peice of work to
be done on the whole survey, being
40 feet deep, at its greatest deqth,
and 1900 feet in length, Fifty
thousand yards of dirt will be re-
moved in the grading, but the
grade work will be light in this val
icy. The intention, as often ex-
pressed by officials, is to complete
the road to Horseshoe Bend by
October. The rood will then con-
meet the timber at the north with
the market for it in the Owyhee
mining camps.
The people here have long fell
the need of railroad and believed
that sooner OF later one would bt
built through this valley While
they are pleased with the progress
being made and realize some of tn,
many Advantages to be derived
they are not IN the least excited oy
er these tangible assurances of the
road. A rapid, healthy and per
Jnnnent growth, unattended by tn,
usual boon" excitement, is expect
ed.

Theory of the Limon Murder.

Denver. Colo, Nov. 12.-The Denver
detectives seem to hold the Following
theory in regard to the murder oil lit
tie Louise Frost:
The crime was committed by some
man who was acquainted with LOUISE
Frost. He knew the time she passed
along the lonely road on her way from
school and the postOiiicc lie whiteu
for her. She knew him When she
came along Thursday evening he stop
ped her. Perhaps he had done so be-
fore. They talked for II few moments
and upon some reasonahl" pretext he
conxed her ont of the buggy. She
wrappel the lines around the whip ana
threw the laprobe forward across tine
dashboard. When driving she had her
mail upon the seat by her side. When
she left the buggy she naturally picked
up the mail and holding 1t IN her
hands climbed out of til" buggy anu
went to her death unsuSpectngly. IL
Is possible thnt as soon as the man had
coaxed her away from the buggy ne
struck her down and that falling she
dropped the mail. Then he caught ner
up in his arms and carried her into the
tall weeds TINT border the roadside.
That she struggled to save herself IL
shown by the trampled condition OF
the weeds. After the commission or
the crime he beat and stabbed her TO
death. for she knew him and he knew
that he would not be safe from de-
lection and retribution As long as she
lived. Near the point is deep gulcil
in which the murderer doubtless took
refuge after the deed was done. He
could follow it for mile without de
lection from anyone passing In the
lonely road. In the gulch he could re-
main until night and under the cover
of darkness make his escape. The
horse, waiting for its driver, becoming
tired. walked slowly home, with the
line still wrapped around the whip and
the laprobe across the dashboard. Just
as the girl had left them.

CABINET DISCUSSION
OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Washington, Nov 12.-At the meet
ing of the Cabinet. two of the three
hours that the session lnsted We're oc-
cupied in IL discussion of foreign af-
fairs, necessitnted in part by the fact
that the President intends to exhaust
lively treat this subject In his forthcoh-
ing message to Congress reference
was made to the expressions IN por-
tions of the European press that the
United States policy regarding emma
would undergo marked changes lmme-
diately after the election.
1t is uuthoritatively announced that'
after Il most exhaustive review OF eV-
ery step of the Chinese difficulty, from
its inception up to the present moment
delivered by Secretary Hay, the Cabi-
net ratified every detail, and, more
over, unanimously expressed its 1uus
ment that the policy so far pursued
should be continued without change to
its logical conclusion. Accordingly, the
present legation guard ut Pekln VIII
be maintained, and such troops as YET
remain to be withdrawn, according 10
the original program, Will be shipped
TO Manila.
With this addition to his force, Gen
eral Macarthur Is expected to renew
the campaign against the reDeiious
Filpinos with the greatest energy. Au'
ministration officials here think tnat as
soon as the result of the election De
comes known throughout the ihliip'
pines the resistance to me authori,s
of the United States Will DE easily

Funeral of Louise Frost.

Denver, Colo, Nov. l2.-The funeral
Of Louise Frost. the little girl who was
outraged and murdered at Limon in
Lincoln county, was held in this city
yesterday. the intermcnt being In Fair
mount cemetery.
In the same grave with Louise
Frost yesterday afternoon were buried
the bodies of her threc-year-old sister,
Fay, who died two years ago, and that
of Mary Bass. the six -year-Old daugh-
ter of DIR. and Mrs. Bass, who died
seven years ago and who was Louise
Frost's dearest child friend. 1t had
been the wish. often expressed, Of
Louise that she might be buried be-
side her friend and her sister, and this
wish was faithfully carried out. AS
little children Louise and Mary were
almost inseparable companions. The
body of Fay has been resting in the
cemetery at LimOn. and that of Mary
in Fairmount.
Although many arrests have been
made OH suspicion, among them that
of Preston Porter, colored, and his two
sons, Arthur and John Porter, the au-
thorities have been unable to secure
any reliable clue to the identity Of the
real murderer.
r. w. Frost, the father of the dead
girl, after her funeral, visited police
headquarters and said:
II have but one ambition in life, and
that is to find the man who killed my
little girl l shall never be contented
until justice Is done. l trust that /
shall live long enough to look into his
dead face, and when [ have done that
l will be content then TO die myself"

Joseph Wheeler has given out the fol-
lowing on the result of the election:
81 did not go to Decatur to hear the
returns Tuesday night l do not like
to go to funerals. and | felt and knew
that Mr.. Mckinley would be over
whelmingly reelected.
.There are two things the American
people reverence-tirst, their God, and,
second, their flag. \ word against
either will bring down their condemna-
ton. There never was president de-
feated for election who had conducted
II successful war. Wars are popular
in this country. and are growing more
popular with the masses. and any par
ty that opposes II successful war pres

THE THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION

Denver, Colo, Nov. 10.-Governor
Thomas has issued the following
proclamation naming Thursday, No
vember 10Th, as n day of thanksgiving.
1t reads:
with the strife and bitterness of a
great politicale contest behind us, with
universal acquiesence in the lawfully
registered majority, with our faces
toward the future and with gratitude
for the manifold blessings of the year.
we devOutly approach the day of
thanksgiving.
1.-The nation has enjoyed season
of material prosperity and progress.
Harvests have been abundant and COM
merce has fOurished apace. Pestilence
and famine have avoided our shores.
The arts and industries of the people
have moved forward, and enterprise
has been crowned with reward.
I'VE have drifted perilously near
shoals and reefs in the political sea,
long since charted and located by the
fathers, and have not yet grounded
upon them. We have raised armies
and navies for conquest, but the or.
ganic law of the Republic is still shel
tered in the hearts and consciences of
our people. The war of dominion over
distant lands has been continued, but
ODE AdNS ptch Ple-
served from undue casualty and dis
ease. For these things let us give
praise.
I'm obedience, therefore, to custom
and the law, and in compliance with
the proclamation of the President of
the United States, l, Charles S. Thorn
as, governor of the state of Colorado,
pursuant to the authority in me vest
ed, do hereby recommend and appoint
Thursday, the 10Th day of November,
as a day of public and general thanks
giving. and hereby enjoin upon and
recommend to the the people Of the
state q due observance thereof as a
public holiday; that they refrain from
their usual secular pursuits and, as
sembling in their usual places Of wor-
ship and elsewhere, render due ac-

acknowledgement and grateful thanks to
the Universal Father for the manifold
blessings vouchsafed unto US.
II also recommend that no higher
or better testimonial of gratitude tC
the Giver of all Good can be offered
than a bountiful and substantial con.
sideration of the poor, and sympathy
with those who suffer and sorrow.
I'm testimony whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused to be af.
fixed the great seal of the state. Done
at Denver this Sth day of November.
