Mr.. Maddox opposed the bill, he said, be-
cause Of the amount of money which its
passage would cost the General Govern
ment. He calculated that If the bill be-
come a law, the Government would be
making gift to the public land States of
about s36 100000.
He said that during his term OF service no
Indian reservation had been purchased and
opened to settlement save upon the assur-
ance that the Government would sell the
lands and lose nothing. II this bill were

opening of reservations upon that plea, Mr..
Maddox said, were in honor bound to pay

Idaho Mica Mines.

MOSCOW, IDAHO, March ao.--~Thirty
men are employed in the Muscovite mica
mine, located on Mica mountain, a6 miles
east of Moscow. Five carloads OF block
mica are out ready to dress, and several
carloads have been shipped out this sea.
son, Two hundred pounds of cut mica
was shipped from the Vollmer depot a
few days ago. The Muscovite people
have started on new soo-foot tunnel.
They lave FIVE already, ranging in depth
from 900 TO $50 feet. The product Of this
mine, the principal one in the Mica
Mountain camp, is considered valuable,
as the mica cuts into squares of large size
and Of good quality. The waste is ground
up and shipped to the manufacturers oi
axle grease. The quality improves in the
mine as depth is gained, end the supply

That Grangeville Case.

To a Teller reporter Judge Steele stated
that the case recently decided by the STU
preme court, wherein a petition for a
writ OF prohibition applied for by GER
tain citizens OF Grangeville, against the
village trustees, prohibiting the collec-
ton of license tax, was formerly pre-
sented him and denied. 1t appears that
Grangeville is organized under the vii
lage government act and derives a por-
ton at least of its revenue for maintain
ing lis government from a license tax
imposed upon each aud every business
conducted in the town. Those applying
for the writ allege that the law passed by
the legislature authorizing the collection
of license tax is unconstitutional, and
that the village was never properly or
gained. A written opinion in the case
| was given by Judge Steele, i'll which ht
denied the writ prayed for. The cast
was then presented to the supreme cour
as an original proceeding, which is per
missible under our statutes. In his opin
ion Judge Steele contended that the wri
of prohibition was not the proper remedy
and that it failed 10 state the amount o
license tax each was asked to pay, or th'
kind of license. The supreme cour
dismisses the action on these grounds
The merits of the cause are not passed o.
by the supreme court. An election c
village officers will occur soon in Grange
fville in which the issue appears to b
confined chiefly to that of the busines
license tax proposition.

The United States Supreme Court
Says The Standard Oil Com
blHe.
CAN NOT TRADE IN TEXAS
The Opinion Sastaias the Decisions 81 the
State Courts to the Extent Of Affirm.
INK THIN

WAsHfNeToN, March 10. In the
supreme court Of the United States today
an opinion was handed down iii the case
Of the Waters Pierce Oil company, In
.volving its right TO do business In the
state Of Texas, contrary to the provisions
of the antitrust laws Of 1850 and 1895,
II was charged, among other things, that
the Waters. Pierce Oil company was
member Of the Standard Oil trust as
organized In 1882, and various other allie
cations were made, but The court did not
enter upon general discussion Of trusts,
contenting itself with a discussion or the
Texas law applicable to this case.
The opinion sustained the decisions Of
the state court TO the extent Of affirming
them, and was thus opposed to the COM
pany, but II did this upon the ground
that the state laws imposed condition
which the company had accepted, and
hence was without ground Of complaint.
The opinion was handed down by JUS
tice McKenna, who, reviewing the case,
said that the Waters-riercc company was
a private corporation incorporated In
Missouri which had begun business IN
the state Of Texas in 1859. The suit grew
out of the charge that the oil company
had violated the statutes Of the
state, OF 1889 and 1895, against Illegal
combinations in restraint Of trade, there's
|
by incurring forfeiture Of It's permit to
do business in the state.
The trial was held in the district court
Of Travis county, in which the verdict
was against the oil company. On
appeal TO the court Of civil appeals Of
4 the state, this decision was affirmed, and
ii was brought to this court on a writ Of
error The basis Of the action was the
Standard Oil organized Ia 1881, and ii
was asserted that its intention was 10
control and monopolize the petroleum
industry Of the United States, in restric-
ton of trade, dividing the markets Of the
United States into various sub divisions,
awarding Texas to the Waters Pierce Oil
company. The decision today was based
on the propositions which were submit
ted % the jury in the original trial.
Justice McKenns said: THE transac-
tions Of local commerce, which we're held
by the state courts to be violations Of the
statute, were contracts with Sefsaiia lief-
chants, in which the plaintiff III error re-
auircd them to hnv oil exclusively from

tion to deal with Portugal on the entire

American interest is impending.
1t is suggested that the published re-
ports have as their basis the recent action

Taku at the mouth of Pei Ho river. This

tions to the state department by Minister

The secretary further denied emphat.

ton, so far as the navy department was
concerned, and added that there had been
no conferences such as were reported as

Secretary Meikeljohn Of the war depart
ment was as emphatic in denying the ac-
curacy of the publications as affecting his
department as Secretary Long was re-
garding the navy. Mr.. Meikeljohn spe-
cifically stated that there had been no
conference with Assistant Secretary Hill
as to the number Of troops that could be
