A Bankruptcy Law Construed.

RALEIGH. N. c., May 16.-Judge Pur-
nell Of the United States District Court
yesterday fled an important opinion in
bankruptcy proceeding. He decides that in
voluntary proceedings in bankruptcy by a
partnership the firm is a distinct legal en-
tity. Estates of firms and individual mem
bers must be administered separately,
hence clerk, referee, and trustee are enti-
tied TO fees in case OF each person in part
nership. The question involved Is one OF
first importance, no decision having been
cited OF found. Judge Purnell says that
the bankruptcy act was intended not only
TO be just to bankrupt and creditors. brt
TO court officers and that any otheF de-
eision would be fagrantly unjust TO the
latter.

SEATTLE, THURSDAY, JUNE Z.
SANDERS Set at Rest.

A part of the campaign OF slander
against the administration and the Re-
publican party has been the assertion
that powerful interests and especially
huge corporations were TO have special
privileges at cape Nome this season.
To that end reports were circulated
that miners rights were TO be abolish
ed. and we have been credibly informed
that lot of men who were duped put
up nice sum Of money to send a rep
resentative TO Washington to look after
interests that were never In danger.
We heard a great huIlabaloo over ex-
elusive permits for dredging below high
tide. which were to prevent miners
from sluieing with sea water. From the
picturesque fake OF the New York
journal. telling how annored dredges
were congregatIng In fleets on Puget
sound to slaughter miners on the beach
with their rifled guns, down to the'as-
sertion that the military forces of the
United States were to be employed to
drive away the poor miner from ground
coveted by the syndicate the public
ear has been assaied with every con-
ceivable form II political invention.
Now all doubts are set at rest and
we are able to state facts and assert
actual conditions. Tho Alaska code has
paused both houses and there we may
read the law that win govern rich and
poor alike. The conditions OF work at
Cape Nome are fair and just. The min
tng laws of the United states are ex-
tended to Alaska. The law OF miners
meetings Is explicitly recognized as APP
