Bound to get to Cape Nome.

Seattle, Wash, April 16.-A letter
has been received here which was sent
from Vancouver, B. c., while the
British steamer Alpha was at that
port, stating that the captain of the
Alpha had demanded payment in ad-
vance for the delivery of freight at
Nome. The 300 miners on board the
vessel refused to comply with the de-
mand and the captain said he would
proceed to some point on the north
coast and drive the men ashore unless
they paid up. The miners agreed to
mutiny if this is done and will put the
captain ashore and steam to the
Siberian coast. The miners are organ
lied and armed and there is large
stock of provisions on board the vessel.
The Alpha left Vancouver recently,
against the orders of the United States
revenue Office, which forbade the yes
sci landing her freight at Nome.

Deeds Not Stamped When Made Must Go
to the Collector.
Washington, April 16.-The commits
sioner of internal revenue has received
a number of inquiries from registers of
deeds, clerks of courts and others ask
ing whether they would be justified in
recording deeds, etc, which are sent
to them unstamped. They represent
that deeds are often received from par
ties who cannot conveniently procure
stamps, asking that they be affixed by
the recorder.
The commissioner answers in the
negative, and in his reply states that
the grantor, or person who makes or
issues the instrument, should affix and
cancel the stamp. If he omits to do so
he incurs penalty of not more than
500. If, however, the omission is in
advertent, he may present the instru-
ment to the collector within a year
from the date or issue, pay the stamp
tax and present the instrument for
post stamping. The commissioner adj
vises that when an unstamped instru-
ment for record be received, it be
returned to the sender to be stamped,
charging for postage and time occupied
in the correspondence made necessary
by the omission of the stamp.

The skunk,s Handsome Fur.

Although thousands of skunks are
yearly killed and their hides sold to
furriers, it is impossible to buy a
skunk skin in a fur store. By some
occult means the pelt changes its name
between the time it is ripped on the
back of the animal, and the time that
it takes its place in the show window.
Sometimes it changes its color as well,
though the skin is the loser thereby,
for there are few bits of fur handsomer
than that grown on the outlawed
skunk. Pariah though he is, this I'M
savOry animal, against whose life the
hand Of man is ever raised. has been
able much better than any of his

1.-THE CHEROKEE AGREEMENT.

Washington, April 1.-THE new
agreement has been signed by the
United States and the Cherokee ma
ton
This agreement will. be sent to the
senate at once with the recommends
ton of the secretary of the interior

that ratification it viii be submitted
also to a popular vote of the Chero-
KEGS. at special election to be called
by the chief. When accepted by ma
jority vote at that election it will be-
come the law
There is no doubt that the new
agreement will be ratified promptly by
congress. as it has received the IMAM
imous approval of the Dawes commits
sion, of the secretary of the interior,
and all the Cherokee delegates.
1t is the most comprehensive agree
ment yet made with any Indian tribe.
and covers in detail every conceivable
question that can arise between the
present time and the final dissolution
of the tribal government. The two
great features of the agreement, af-
fecting the allotment of lands and dis
position of townsites have been
adjusted finally in a manner satisfac-
tory to all concerned.
| All the lands to be allotted to Chero-
kee citizens. They will receive in the
first instance eighty acres each, and
the remaining lands will be used to
equalize each allotment. If the lands
are inadequate for that purpose the
funds of the nation will be used, in
order to make each allotment as nearly
equal in value as possible. Forty acres
of each allotment are reserved from
sale, tax and every incumbrance for
twenty-one years, or during the life of
the allottee, and can be sold only by
order of the court having jurisdiction
of the subject matter. The remaining
lands may be disposed of at once by
the adult allottees, upon receiving fair
consideration not to include any previ-
GUS Indebtedness.
The lands allotted to minors are free
from taxes, except that the tenants of
such lands will be charged with the
taxes out of their rents as the tax can
come only of the products of the land.

to bore holes to start them. and for
the largest size holes for their entire
length. They are said to be very use
full in chemical factories, dyehouses,
breweries, etc, and they are also used
in building accumulation cells and
