SETTLERS LOSE HOMES.
Decision of Minnesota Supreme Court
FavOrs Contention of Rus
sell Sage.

ST. Paul, Mimi, June 3.-Justice
Lewis, of the supreme court, has
filed a decision which will result in
several Stearns county settlers los
ing their homes, title to which was
contested by Russell Sage as as
signee in trust of the Hastings & Da-
kota Railway company.
Under the act of congress of June
4, 1866, the Hastings & Dakota Rail-
way company completed it's road
within the time as extended by the
Minnesota legislature. When the
road was complete there was found
to be deficiency in the primary
grant limits of about 100000 acres
and only 10000 acres availab BILE in the
indemnity limits to make up the
loss and in consequence all the lands
in the indemnity limits were Sc
lected.
After the completion of the road
and the land selection the roads
franchise was forfeited by a judg-
ment and later it's property trans
ferred to Sage for the benefit of the
stockholders.
Judge Lewis holds that the settlers
they had been withdrawn from set
Element are not in position to at
tack Sage's title to lands earned by
the completion of the road and Sc
cured to him by transfer which the
court holds to be valid.
While only few hundred acres
were directly involved in this case,
the decision involves the validity of
the entire grant.

IMPORTANT ACTION BY UNITED STATES.
State Department in Reply to In
quiry by Ambassador Choate De-
cIares That Inhabitants of Philip
pines Are Entitled to the Protec-

London, June 3.-The officials of
the United States embassy inform
the press that the matter of granting
passport to the Filipino who ap-
piled for one Friday had to be re-
ferred to Washington, as it was the
first time such an application had
been made by a person of this ma
tionality. The Filipino desired to
travel in Russia. and though the APP
plicant took the oath of allegiance
to the United States in Spanish and
English the embassy considered it
advisable to submit the matter by
cable to Washington, as it has fire.
quently done when passports were
requested. The embassy is now
awaiting reply. The applicant was
quite contented and thanked the Of
ficials of the embassy for the action
taken.
Order Passports Granted.
Washington, June 3.-In answer to
his application for instructions, Sec
rotary Hay has directed Ambassador
Choate, at London, to issue passports
to the two Filipinos who appeared
at the embassy Friday "as residents
of the Philippine islands, and as such
entitled to the protection of the
United States"
The decision upon this point is of
Importance, as having perhaps some
bearing upon the status of the peo-
pie of the Philippines, Porto Rico and
Guam. A year ago the decision was
reached to regard the Porto Ricans as
entitled to the protection conveyed
by an American passport, but for
NAL decision of the test case was
prevented through the withdrawal
of the application. The Foraker act
determined the right of the Porto
Ricans as ''citizens of Porto Rico"
to the protection of. the United
States government. 1t is now held
that the Spooner law conveys the
same privilege to the inhabitants of
the Philippines.
New Obligations.
The United States statutes prohibit
the issue of passport to any but
American citizens. But these later
acts, the Foraker act and the Spoon
err act, impose obligations in their
turn which may be regarded as quail
flying the original act, and may en-
able the government to avoid a deci-
sion upon the question of the Amer
lean citizenship of the islanders. At
any rate the circular instructions
now in formulation, which will be
sent out to all United States diplo-
will direct them to issue, not certif-
icates, but genuine American pass
ports to the islanders.

SOLDIERS MOB A SALOON.
Wild Riot INDUCED In by SIX
Hundred Men from Preside
at San Francisco.
DRUGGED SOLDIER STARTS TROUBLE.
Comrades Accuse Owner of Saloon
Outside the Military Camp with
Being Responsible for the Deed,
and Destruction of the Saloon
Property Follows.

San Francisco, June "a mob of
soldiers numbering 500 or 600 in
dulged in a riot Friday night and
wrecked Mrs. Powers saloon, one of
the many drinking places just outside
the Preside reservation.
There are great many conflicting
stories as to the origin of the trouble.
The soldiers of the Forty-sixth volun-
teer infantry were mustered out OF
service Friday, and the men given
their discharge and pay. Most OF the
men had several hundred dollars COM
ing to them, and they did consider
able drinking in the Preside resorts.
Soldiers Cry for Vengeance.
A man by the name of Morgan, of
the Forty-siXth, was found uncon-
scious in front of Mrs. Powers sa
loon. Two of Morgan's companions
took him to camp for treatment. The.
doctor pronounced it a case where
drugs had been administered. The
news spread rapidly about the camp,
and soon there were dozen or more
men running to Mrs. Powers saloon.
They demanded reparation for the
drugging of their comrade, but any
knowledge of the affair was denied.
Two or three eX-soldiers lounging
about the place sided in with the
women, and ordered the soldiers
from the premises. They went back
for reenforcements, and spread the
report that two of their companions
had been killed in this saloon.
Mob Made Up.
A mob was made up of members of
the Forty-fifth and Forty-siNth regi-
ments, then rushed pell-mel through
the Preside gates to the saloon
Stones were gathered on the way,
and then the place was stormed.
Every window in the place was
broken, the bar and fixtures smashed,
and the interior demolished complete
ly. The gas jets were snapped off, and
the coal oil lamps overturned.
saloon Catches Fire.
The place caught fire and a po
liceman broke through the crowd
and rang the fire alarm. By that
time the Infatuated men were yell
ing to burn the place and lynch the
one helpless man, Harris, who had
been driven from the place. Officers
tried to rush Harris through the
crowd, but were stopped. In spite
of the efforts of the police to pro-
tect Harris, the soldiers beat and
cut him terribly. Finally, when the
squadron of cavalry and provost
guard of 60 men from the Forty
fifth arrived, a passage was made
through the crowd and Harris taken
to safe place.
The efforts of the cavalry and
guard to dispense the crowd were
futile until the fire hose was turned
on. This and the entire guard of the
post helped to restore order.
Mrs. Powers estimates the damage
at $4,000. Not a thing was left in
tact in the saloon.
investigation to Be Made.
A careful investigation of the re-
port that some of the soldiers had
died from drugged liquor proved that
such was not the case. Morgan, of
the Forty-sixth regiment, was the
only man whom it is thought might
have been the victim of drug.
An investigation of the riot will be
made by the police and military Of
ficials.

Good Values from the Isabelle.

Eugene Lamont was down from the
Isabelle mine last week and reports
conditions as improving in the camp.
The Isabelle is located twenty-five
miles north of Canon City on Currant
Creek and is an old patented property
that has been worked for many years.
In this property the ranchmen of that
locality are largely interested and
have worked the property to con-
siderable extent. MIR. Lamont has
the management of the mine upon
which he is just about to set up a
new mill, the machinery all being on
the ground.
The Isabelle carries values in gold,
copper and lead. The vein is three
feet thick and runs an average value
of $3S to the ton. The outlook for
the Isabelle is certainly very bright,
and it now looks as if it would soon
become steady produces.

A News Service without Parallel.

There is ample justification for the
claim made by the Chicago Record
Herald that its readers enjoy every
day in the week, Sundays included,
news service that is without parallel
in range and completeness. The rea-
son is obvious-the combination of
the varied and extensive facilities of
the two great dailies, the Chicago
Record and the Chicago Times-Her-
aid. In addition to the Independent
news facilities of both papers, the
Record-Herald receives the complete
news service of the New York Herald,
the New York Tribune and the asso-
ciated press; and when it is consid-
cred that its news columns are sup
plemented by all the special features
so popular in the Chicago Record and
the Chicago Times-Herald, it will be
seen that the Record-Herald holds a
unique place among the great news
papers of the United States.

The Chieftain and deoIogy.

Four Mile creek, half way between
Florence and Canon City, is the next
locality that meets the favorable
views of oil prospectors, and one of
the new companies intends to drill
there in hope of finding oil. 1t is i'm
possible for the ordinary observer to
place much confidence in any of the
claims that some people make, of be-
ing able to discern indications of oil
more distinct in one place than in an
other. The whole country east of the
Canon City hogback, all the way to
Kansas, is mass of shale thousand
feet deep, the bottom of an ancient
salt sea. Over it, south of the Ar
kansas river, much of the ground has
shallow layer of sand, and in places
the sand is underlaid with gravel,
but both together occupy only a few
feet, and then comes the vast bed of
shale, the surface of which has been
cut in ravines or worn smooth by the
action of the glaciers which cut the
channel for the river, but all that has
occurred on the surface, including
the action of the ice drifts and gla-
ciers, has been comparatively modern,
and has no more effect upon the strata
underneath the shale than the waves
on the surface of the ocean have upon
its quiet bed FIVE miles below.
