WOULD NOT PASS ON TITLE.
United States Court Decision in the
 Oil Land Cases.

San Francisco. Nov. 15.-The United States circuit court of appeals of the Ninth circuit handed down an inn portant decision today, affirming the decree of the circuit court in the cele- brated oil lands cases. entitled the Pacific Land and Improvement Com pany vs. the Elwood Oil Company and the Cosmer Exploration Company .vs the Gray Eagle oil Company. The majority opinion was rendered bv Judges Hawley and Morrow Judge Gilbert filed a dissenting opinion.
 Judge Hawley says: We are of the opinion that the federal courts are without jurisdiction to entertain a suit to determine the respective rights of the parties to any land to which title remains in the United States govern ment, and in regard to which a suit is pending in the land department be- tween the parties. An order of eject ment cannot be maintained in the courts of the United States on a merely equitable title. The averInents in the bill are susceptible to a construction that the defedants are in possession Of the land in the controversy. While such a bill might be entertained in a state court. it is not recognizable by the federal court in equity. the remedy being at law"

Mechanics Pavilion. San Francisco. Nov. 15.-In one of the most unsatis factory prizefights ever witnessed in this country. James Jeffries was the victor over Gus Htuhlin and his right to the heavyweight championship was emphasized. In the fifth round of the fight Ruhlin wilted and then surren- dered to the champion, to the utte-' amazement and disgust of many thou sands.
 No one was more surprised at the outcome than Jeffries himself. White he asserted that he had delivered one telling blow in the second round, he did not expect to win the victory so easily
 Ruhlins sole explanation of the out come of the fight is that he received Il chance blow which disabled him and that Jeffries persisted in fighting low. While Ruhlin will make no direct charge that Jeffries committed d foul, he intimated that he was unfairly handled. Ruhlin receives the support of his seconds, who say he was a hope less case after the second round.
 After the fight Jeffries said: ''I was certainly surprised at my easy victory While he did not punch me hard enough to injure me during the fight, l

ENGLISH COLONIES
Will Send Mail Home Through the
 United States.

London, Nov. 15.-The arrival of the steamship Umbria now on it's way from New York is awaited with more than usual interest. The Umbria left Queenstown at midnight tonight and as a result two days will have been cut from the record from Australia to London. and the contentious of those who declared that the former record of thirty-one and half days for more than half the distance around the globe was not the best that could be done will have been realized.
 The Ventura, the swift steamer of the Oceanic line left Sydney Oct. h, and Auckland, 1240 miles away oct. 19, making the passage in three and one-half days. San Francisco, 7,046 miles distant. was reached in the early morning of Nov. f. At San Francisco everything was in readiness and with in a few hours the several hundred bags of mail were hustled on board the fast mail which left San Francisco via the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific. Big Four, Lake Shore and New York Central for New York. So good were the railroad connections and so fast the time that the Australian mail was able to reach New York in time to catch the Umbria which sailed Satur- day afternoon. If the steamer arrives on scheduled time and the contem- plated connections made in Ireland and England the mails will reach this city tomorrow evening. The record will be twenty-nine and one-han days for 10, 900 miles. The time is considered all the more rcmaTKable as the entire route has been through the customary channels, no extra boats or trains hav- ing been employed. As result of the experiment it is confidently expected that the mails to England from her far-off colony will hereafter be handled through San Francisco and New York.

NATIONAL W. c. T. U.
The Opening of the Convention at
 Fort Worth.

Fort Worth, Tex, Nov. 15.-Promptly to the minute at the time set for the opening of the National w. C. T. U. convention Mrs. l.. Nj. N. Stevens of Maine rapped the convention to order. The president was required to stand for some time, lowing her acknowl- judgements before the warm applause subsided. The platform was neatly decorated with potted plants and bunting Ranged about the rostTum were seated the national officers, members of the executive committee and distinguished visitors.
 The proceedings of the convention began with the singing of the hymn America" from the white ribbon hymnal. after which there was an of fering of prayer. The roll call by the national secretary showed an atten- dance of delegates from every state and territory of the union. Especially large and representative were from Ne braska. Colorado. Montana. Missouri. Illinois. Michigan and Kansas. Texas was represented by visitors from all parts of the state and the Pacific northwest also made a good showing.
 Previous to beginning her annual ad- dress Mrs. Stevens read a telegram of congra tulation and greeting from Lady Somerset. the eminent British tempeI- ance leader and colleague of the late Frances Willard. In her annual ad- dress the president presented some in teresting facts. As to the progress of the temperance reform movement she spoke in the most confident language. Touching reference was made to the death of President Mckinley. The constantly increasing participation of women in the affairs of the world. said Mrs. Stevens, is of the utmost signifi- canoe. The capture of Miss Stone, the missionary, by brigands, was referred to with indignation. Mrs. Stevens gave a good deal of attention to the question of amusements, and urged parents and Christian associations to encourage such healthful and harm less diversions as will keep the young from evil places and ways.
 Following the presidents address the reports of the various other offi- cers were submitted. These were ac- cepted and the recommendations re feTred to the executive committee. The secretarys report showed a gratifying increase in membership during the past twelve months. The treasurer's report was of an equally satisfactory nature.

A CABINET SESSION
The Questions of Appointments Was
 Discussed.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Considerable time at the cabinet meeting today was devoted to the consideration of the az ricultural conditions in the Philip pines. From reports received at the war department it is evident that the vegetables grown there are running out" and there is necessity for the immediate distribution of new seed. Secretary Root told the cabinet that there was enough rice, which is the chief staple grown in the islands, to supply the demand for local consump- tion.
 The president and cabinet also talked over a number of appointments under the various departments of the gov ernment. Except where there is some urgent reason for immediate action, no appointment is to be made until congress meets. The presidents mes sage to congress is practically com pleted, although on several subjects the final draft has not yet been made.

proceedings came up today, said the plea was inconsistent with the return the sheriff had made on Judge Han Iecy's attachment. Leave to amend the plea was granted, and all parties were ordered to reappear in court at 2 D. m.
 After filing an amended petition for n writ of habeas corpus, an agreement was presented by Judge Dunne to the attorneys on both sides. and the defen-
 dants in the case, by virtue of which the habeas corpus proceedings should
 be dropped and the defendants are to appear before Judge Hanecy in the
 morning for sentence. While nothing was said in the agreement concerning
 the new writ of habeas corpus, it is generally believed that another peti-
 tion will be filed if the defendants are sentenced to jail by Judge Hanecy.

AN HONEST NAME.
An Illinois Statesman Tells q Good
Story-KHev His Fathers Son
Would Not Lie.

The Honorable Alya Merrill of
Chillicothe member of the Twenty
fourth District State Of Illinois House
of Representatives, tells an interest
ing story:
Some two years ago Mr.. Merrill
gave a testimonial stating that Dodd' S
kidney Pills cured his rheumatism
This, with Mr.. Merri11's portrait, were
published in thousands of papers all
over the United States.
On the train returning home from
Springfield one day last winter were
the Honorable Mr.. Merrill and several
other members. After time one of
them said:
Merrill, what time do you get to
Chillicothe?'
This attracted the attention of an
old man who had been apparently
awaiting some identification of MI
Merrill and as soon as he heard the
name he rushed up to his seat and
extending his hand said:
You are Alva Merrill and you
saved my life. 1 was almost dead
with Lumbago and in an advertise
ment I saw your picture and your rec
ommendation of Dodd's Kidney Pills
I knew your father and ]. knew his
son would not lie and therefore I de-
cided to try the Pills:
ST am satisfied that Dodd's Kidney
Pills and nothing else have saved my
life and have been waiting this op
portunity to thank you personally, fol-
had / not seen your recommendation
I might never have been led to use
this remedy, but. thank God, through
your honest name and the honest
medicine which you SO heartily rec
commended, am still alive.

Jou got on the train at Springfield
and thought I recognized your face
as the one I had seen i'm the adver
tisement, and as soon as this gentle
man called you by name I knew yor
