other member of the royal family.
The coffin was brought to Osborne last
evening and was taken through the
Queens private gate. Emperor William

Two changes In the postal regula-
tions have been decided upon in Wash
ington which will doubtless have the
approval of letter writer's and particu-
larly those who send small sums of
money across the northern border. One
OF these changes is the agreement to
use domestic money orders in transac-
tons with Canada instead of the inter-
national orders. which heretofore have
been necessary. The new rule means
to the sender the saving of few cents
on each order and also the employment
of simpler blank. This rule will go
Into effect on July /. The other change
Affects our postal relations with Cuba.
When the new rule is promulgated, let
tiers for Cuba will be charged for at the
same rate as letters for Mexico and
Canada-that is. 2 cents will be all that
10 needed to carry them In place of 8.
Hitherto letters to persons in the Unit
ed States government employ in Cuba
could be sent at the cent rate, but
other letters paid the ordinary foreign
rate, and the difference led continually
to errors. Both changes mean perhaps
. small reduction In revenue, though
even this is not certain, but in each
case the amendment Is likely to prove
Senefcial by promoting closer inter-
course between the countries thus afil-
lated.

other side to the picture. On the re-
verse side is inscribed a story of I'M
rest and turbulence at home, of bloody
riots by students and workingmen, of
the cruel whip of the Cossacks flashing
the back of the incipient revolution, Of
threatened revolt in Poland and Fin
land, of plots against the ministry, of
a mine under the palace of the czar, of
an absolute monarch sleeping in a
harveyized steel bedroom, distrusting
even his own household. unnerved by
threats against his person and urged
by his advisers to fly for safety from
his capital
With such condition at home it
would seem that Russia is III prepared
to go into war of territorial aggres-
sion in which there might be pitted
against her not Japan alone, but Great
Britain and possibly other powers.
However, such war might awaken a
spirit of patriotism, soothe the turbu-
lent elements. repress threatened re-
volts and cement into more compact
body the hitherto diverse and conflict
ing races and factions of the great EN-
pire. History is not wanting in in
stances where foreign war has so

Speed of the Solar sv,tem.

According to Professor Simon New
comb, tie astronomer, the most impor-
tAnt achievement in astronomy during
the nineteenth century was the deter
minatlon Of the rate of speed at which
the solar system is moving through
space. Astronomers are now able to
say with certainty that the sun, moon
and stars are all going somewhere at
the rate of 10000 miles an hour
Whence they came and whittier they
are bound are questions that the as
tOnomers have not yet been able to
solve, but the discovery is sufficient to
emphasize the unimportance of man in
the scheme of the universe. In their
Widest dreams the inventors look for
ward to the time when it may be posi-
bic for human beings to travel over the
surface of the earth at a speed Of $50
or 200 miles in 60 minutes. Meanwhile
the solar system sweeps through space
Mt a velocity beyond human compre-
hension. One may get some slight idea
OF this speed by imagining a person
travelling ~ times around the earth
between noon and 1 o'clock. Those
alarmists who like to picture the awful
possibilities Of the sudden failure of
the laws which govern the harmony of
the spheres can hardly find more
fruitful field for their Imagination than
in considering what would happen if
the solar system, running at the rate Of
10000 miles an hour, should be instant
ly brought to stop. Certainly space
would be filed with flying confusion
of shattered worlds and shivered stars.
But there is no danger of such a catas-
rophe. The Ruling Mind of the uni
verse makes no false calculations.

A Popular Prince.

Prince Henry of Prussia is in every
way the exact opposite of his brother
the kaiser. A quiet, modest, unassuming
young man, he makes friends every
where he goes. He is idolized by his
brother officers i'll the navy and by the
men also, who do not forget that on
two occasions he dived from the quar-
ter deck to rescue drowning sailors His
devotion to his mother in 1889 was
most marked, and, in embracing and
blessing his sailor son on the OCCASION
OF his marriage with Irene of Hesse,
Frederick the Noble pressed into his

ED. SIGNAL:-There are doubtless
many good people in your vicinity
who are reading much of the higher
class literature found in papers,
pamphlets and magazines, who have
no further use for same after once
reading them.
Such reading matter is greatly APP
preciated by the inmates of this
institution, and | know of no better
method or channel by which to call
the matter to the attention of the
people than to ask you to kindly
drop the suggestion into your valued
publication.
If this high class literature could
be deposited at some convenient
place, and thereafter be shipped to
us by freight, we would be pleased
to pay the charges on same.

ers, many of whom no doubt have

We have statutes, which, in effect,
prohibit hogs from running at large.
cit is a matter of common know
ledge and experience that fence
will keep out cattles and horses that
will not sheep or hogs. 1t is evident
that in passing statutes cited relative
to the running at large of hogs, and
the herding of sheep within two
miles of dwelling houses, the legisla-
ture intended to further the public
good and preserve the peace by
preventing those conflicts which
would naturally result from the
herding of sheep about the dwellings
of settlers. The statutes were in
tended to promote the public good
and avoid danger and injury to the
citizen. They were also evidently
intended to promote the health of
the settlers and as those questions
are of legislative discretion and not
judicial we are not authorized to
hold the statutes unconstitutional.
cit is contended by the appellant
that every citizen has the right TO
pasture the public domain, and that
if the statutes in question are held
valid that it amounts to taking prop
erty without due process of law.
There is nothing in this contention.
We know of no statute enacted by
congress which grants the citizen the
right of pasturage upon the public
domain, and counsel for appellant
cite no such statute. Citizens Craze
their stock upon the public domain
by sufferance OF the general govern
ment and not by virtue of any vested
right
"When Idaho was admitted into
the union of states she was not fet-
tered or restricted in the exercise of
the police power that attaches to
statehood by any provision in the
admission act, and it cannot be
reasonably contended that, because
that belong to the general govern
ment, and which private parties are
permitted, by sufferance, to pasture,
she is limited in the exercise of
what would otherwise be legitimate
police power 1t follows from what
has been said that the statutes in |
question are valid"

RICHES OF THUNDER MOUNTAINS.
Over Six Millions Exposed by the De-
velOpment Made During the
Past Six Months.

A Grangeville special to the Lewis
ton Tribune says: Parties arriving
from the Thunder Mountain country
report that the work which has been
progressing all winter ON the prop
erty of Colonel Dewey has shown up
an extent of ore and values that is
marvellous.
The property under the manage
ment of Dewey has been worked all
winter by force of from 8 to 25
men. and large number of cross
cuts, tunnels and shafts have been
sunk to ascertain the extent and
values of the ore body It is de-
monslrated, as has always been con-
tended, that the whole mountain is
practically one dl Ike of ore. Assays
have been made nearly every day of
large number of samples from all
the workings and the company claims
that, making every allowance that
could be asked 10 computing the
average values, and then cutting
the result in half, the ore in sight if
it goes no deeper than the shafts so
far sunk, which is about ITO feet, is
worth Sc, 500, 900. Assays are taken
to average about Sc. to So for the
whole body Of ore. This enormous
total is practically only the surface
of eight claims. Other properties
in the region are as good apparently.
May people are rushing into
Thunder Mountain this season, and
as the district is less than 100 miles
from the end of the P. & /. N. Ry.
great part Of the travel is going in
this way and this eventually will
become the exclusive route.

Conflicting Elements In the Orient


The outlook for the adjustment of
the critical situation in the orient with
out long and sanguinary struggle,
perhaps involving all the powers now
represented in Picking except the. Unit
ed States is most unpropitious.
Russia appears to be unalterably de-
termined upon exercising "squatter's
sovereignty over Manchuria and
pressing her claims in Mongolia and
,Turkestan without asking anybody's
consent. China has refused to cede the
territory demanded, but would doubt
less do so, at least under duress, were
no other powers involved in the orien-
tai controversy.
Germany, it is declared, is ambitious
to absorb the province of Shangtung
and might side with Russia in the divi-
sion of the empire, though her diploma
lists insist that she is acting in good
faith In the international understand
Ing in favor of maintaining China's
territorial integrity.
Japan, which is perhaps the most vi
tally Interested in the controversy, nat
urally opposes the advance of Russia
in the direction Of Korea and will
brook no interference in that buffer
state" IF the material interests of
Japan are involved" says the usually
moderate leading journal Jill Shimpo
Of Tokyo, ''she will draw the sword
without hesitation" The Japanese are
apparently prepared for long and bit
ter armed conflict and, it is understood,
confidently count upon the assistance
OF Great Britain. who has decided in
terest in checking the aggression of
Russia not only in the orient, but in the
'Levant and elsewhere. s.. Indeed were
British diplomacy as bold and British
resources as great as they were just be-
fore the conflict in the Crimea war
would undoubtedly have been precipi-
tated ere this time.
Besides the Muscovite activity in
China there are other points where it
the British lion. The hand
of Russia is felt in South Africa,
where an undoubted factor in the
Boer resistance has been the hope that
England would soon be at war with
the car. Russian intrigue is busy in
the Balkans and at Constantinople.
Russian influence is a force in the
Austro- Hungarian domains that is
loosening the ties that bind Bohemia
to the house Of Hapsburg. Russian
is feared in the Scandinavian
peninsula, where the fate Of the old
Swedish appendage of Finland is
noted with apprehension.
Thus is presented the picture of the
Russian bear, with aggressive and

TWO MILE LIMIT VALID.
Supreme Court Decided Case of
Much Importance

The supreme court has affirmed
the judgment of the lower court in
the case of w. A. Sifers VS.. O.. P.
johnson, from Blaine county. Sifers
sued to recover damages to his prop
erty by sheep owned by Johnson
The evidence showed that Sifers had
his property enclosed and that the
sheep trespassed on his property and
also that pasturage within two miles
of his residence was destroyed by
the sheep. In the lower court he
was awarded 800 damages. John
son appealed.
The opinion of the supreme court,
which is by Chief Justice Quarles,
repeats the sections of the statues
prohibiting the grazing of sheep ''on
the land or possessOry claims of
other persons + or within two
miles of the dwelling house of the
owner or owners of SAID possessory
claim. Continuing the opinion
says:
cit is contended by appellant
tina. these statutes are unconstitu-
tional and void. Appellant also
contends that if these sections are
held valid they do not apply 10 this
case for the reason that the respon-
dent owned the land upon which his
dwelling was situated, and the same
was not upon a possessory claim.
"The latter contention is not ten
able, as legislature evidently intend
ed to protect settlers from the injury
and annoyance of having sheep
herded and grazed around their
hsbitations, whether they possessed
the same absolutely, and held title
thereto, or held only by mere naked
possession.
"The other contention raises the
serious question in the case. AS we
view it, this is purely question of
police power. The police power of
the state is very great Under it
many things may be done which at
first glance seem to infringe upon
natural and civil rights. The pro-
lection of health, prevention and
suppression Of nuisance, controlling
the conduct of business which af
tects Others not engaged in the same.
the preservation of the public well
fare are legitimate subjects calling
for the exercise of the police power
of the state.
"lnasmdch as the legislature may
prohibit the running at large of live
stuck, we see no reason why it should
be held that it may not prohibit the
running at large altogether of certain
live stock, nor why certain live stock,
for instance sheep, should not be
forbidden to be herded within two
miles of the dwelling of a settler. !
