HEADQUARTERS FOR ICE.
Norway Is the Source of supply for
the Whole of
Europe.

Few perhaps among the tourists
who visit Norway for the pleasures
OF its scenery are aware that here
they are at the headquarters of Eu-
ropes ice supply. TO the mountain
lakes of that country the continent
looks for its ice The ice is of the
finest quality, for the lakes are of
crystal-clear water, high up in the
mountains, and are surrounded by
very tall pines. The ice supply is con-
trolled by syndicates, says Youths
Companion.
After having been cut into great
squares by plows, the blocks of ice
are sent down the mountainside on
slides. On the way they acquire amaz-
ing velocity, and plunge into an in
closed pond beyond which are the ice
ships awaiting their frozen cargo.
1t sometimes happens that through
delay in the starting of the vessels,
or the cutting of unusual quantities
from the lakes to supply exception
al demands, the supply runs short
Then 1t is that ice becomes dear, and
even in winter-time is luxury that
must be INDUCED in sparingly. But
ice Is used in Europe far less com
monty than in America, and de
acisnt supply does not occasion the
sense of loss that it would in this
country.

MINERS CONFER
President of the National In Kansas
City in Conference

Kansas City June 25.-John Nit
chell, president of the United Mine
Workers OF America, arrived in Kan
sas City last evening at 7 O'Clock
from indianapolis, Ind. He will at
once take prominent part in the
conferences between the coal miners
and mine operators of Missouri and
Kansas, which have been in progress
here for almost a month.
President Mitchell was in consulta-
tion until almost midnight at the
Savoy hotel last night with James
Boston, of Illinois, and Mr.. Pendle-
ton, of Arkansas, members of the ma
tional board of the United Mine Work
ers. He stated TO a reporter for The
Press that he had not yet gone into
the merits OF the existing situation
sufficiently to express an opinion as
to how long the conferences would
last or what their outcome would be.
He admitted thaton the surface ii looks
as though there is small chance for an
agreement, but he expressed the opin-
ion that indications are misleading
81 have come here" he said, "to
advise with the miners and operators
of both Missouri and Kansas. They
have been unable to agree upon a
wages scale, and Mr.. Pendleton and
MIR. Boston thought that by being
present, l might be of some service.
"Basing your opinion upon what
you have already learned, do you
think there is likely to be a striker"
"Well | hardly think there will be.
The miners will demand what they re.
gard as their rights, but the policy OF
the national organization is to avoid
strikes whenever possible. Our sys'
TEN is to first try conference, then ar
bitration, and finally to strike. But
we strike only as last resort.

LESSON WAS NOT NEEDED.
FURRY That Henry CIews
Does Not Tell.

Henry Clews, the New York stock
broker, is a very kindly man and de-
lights in doing good, Naturally he
figured to some extent in the recent
Wall street operations, and story
is told of him that he has vainly
tried to sidetrack, says a New York
exchange.
An army officer stationed in the
Philippines has been sending home
his salary for his wife to save. She
sought to add to it by taking a flyer
in Wall street. She had invested
every dollar of her husbands savings,
and in the recent panic all were
swept away, She appealed to Henry
Clews, with whose firm she had dealt.
"If 1 show you the way to get
your money back, will you promise
me that you will not speculate
again?" asked the broker.
Indeed | will" tearfully assented
the woman.
"Well, here's your money; now keep
out of the market"
Clews said afterward that he had
not invested the money.
A broker in the Waldorf-Astoria
cafe who listened to the story
laughed.
"Well, that's one on Clews. That
woman brought the money right to
my office and asked me to buy Della
ware & Hudson for it. l did so, and
she made $5,400."

BLOCKED ONCE MORE
Lone Wolf Finds Another Obstacle
in the way

Washington, June 25.-The court of
appeals of the District of Columbia
denied late this afternoon the motion
of appeal filed last week by Judge
Springer in theiujunction proceedings
instituted by Lone Wolf to prevent
the government from opening the
Kiowa, Comanche and Apache reser-
vations. The injunction was applied
for first in the supreme court of the
District of Columbia, where it was
argued at length by Judge Vandeven-
ter, attorney general for the Interior
department, representing the govern
ment, and Judge William M. Springer,
counsel for the Indians. Associate
Justice Bradley, before whom the pro-
ceedings we're conducted, decided that
as the Indians we're wards OF the gov
ernment, the disposal of lands belong
ing to them was essentially a political
question, which Congress alone had
the power to settle, and that, therefore
the court had no jurisdiction. Judge
Springer Immediately took an appeal
to the court of appeals. Arguments
on the appeal were heard today. The
entire delegation of Indians, headed
by Lone Wolf, that came to Washing
ton to protest against the opening
was in in the court room. AS in the
lower court, Judge eVandeventer argued
for the government and Judge
Springer for the Indians. The court
in refusing to entertain the appeal de-
cided as follows:
"This application for the allowance
OF special appeal from the order of
court below, refusing to grant a pre-
liminary injunction or restraining or
der upon the allegations of the bill,
has been very fully argued by counsel
for the respective parties, and we have
duly considered the application.
"The conclusion to which we have
arrived from the argument is that the
case is not such as will justify the
special appeal prayed for, but the case
should be disposed Of by final de-
cree, from which an appeal may be
taken in regular course, and from the
decree of this court an appeal may be
taken to the supreme cosrt of the
United States. The great object in
obtaining preliminary injunction is
to prevent immediate action by the
executive department, but we suppose
that such reasonable delay may be
obtained as will enable the complains
ants to avail themselves of the right
of appeal from a final decree that may
be passed in the case"
Judge Springer stated thatan appeal
would he taken as soon as possible tC
the United States supreme court.
The decision of the court of appeal;
today renders it certain that the gov
ernment will open the reservation tC
settlement in August. The proclama
ton of the President will be promul
gated probably the last of this week
The date for its PRONUNCIATION has no
been decided upon.

AGAINST MISS MORRISON
The Judges Instructions Strong for
the Prosecution.

Eldorado, Kansas, June 24.-The
instructions of Judge Aikman, de-
livered in court this morning were a
blow to Jessie Morrison. The in
structions we're clear and to the point.
Bearing as they do on the evidence
before the jury, little hope is left for
Miss Morrison, as her own statement
stands practically alone against the
evidence of the state and Judge Aik-
mans attitude on her own testimony
and of the state gives strength to the
latter and weakens the former. The
instructions of the court makeit possi-
BILE for Jessie Morrison to be con-
victed of either the first or second de-
gree of murder or the second or third
degree of man-slaughter. The penalty
for murder in the first degree is death,
but in this state this penalty has never
been enforced and those who have
been convicted of murder in the first
degree have been confined to the peni-
tentiary for life, awaiting the execution
of the death sentence. The penalty
for the second degree of murderis con-
fnement and hard labor inl the peni-
tentiary for not less than ten years;
for the second degree of man-slaughter,
confinement to the penitentiary OF not
less than three or more than five years;
for the third degree of man-slaughter,
confinement and hard labor in the
penitentiary for not more than three
years, or Imprisonment in the county
Jail for not less than six months.

The examination of Captain Wise had not

ne went far enough TO raise the most important
coIIoouy between counsel that has yet occurred.
II related 10 a dispatch he had received from
the Navy Department which he failed to de-
liver to Schley when he met the Flying Squad
ION which was omitted from officially published
renorts and which became known to Schley for
the first time this afternoon. The admirals
at this disclosure and Admiral Dewey asked
some sharp questions about the matter Just be-

tanned an objection by the defence to Captain
Wise's relating how he had told Captain Philip,
of the Texas that Cerveras fleet was inside.
The colloquy developed the announcement by
the solicitor OF the Navy Department that he
was going 10 show that Schley was guilty OF
neglect of duty in not consulting his captains
before starting back TO Key West, and for not
finding out what the scouts knew.
Schleys counsel contended that the scouts had
not obeyed their orders TO report to Schley. and
that Schley could not be held accountable for
what the captains talked about and withheld
from him. The court agreed to this. and the
