PRESIDENT SIGNS III
INDIAN WAR PENSION BILL BE-
COMES A LAW.
Pen With Which Roosevelt, frye and Hend
ssOn Signed the Bill Are to Be Sent to
the Old Soldisrs-Will Be Rewarded
With All Hasts-All Concerned Are Well
Pleased.

Washington, July 2.-The Indian
War veteran pension bill is now law.
President Roosevelt has affixed his
signature to the bill and the pen with
which he signed it has been turned over
to Representative Tongue. The bill,
as soon as printed as an act, will be
sent to the commissioner of pensions,
with instructions to use all possible
dispatch in putting the law into effect.
He will be directed to issue the neces-
sary blanks, which will be furnished to
claimants upon application, and will
be ready to receive and pass upon
claims and evidence as submitted In
view OF the urgency of claims under
this law, Representative Tongue has
urged that all Indian War pensions be
made special. In order to avoid un-
necessary delays, the department eau
tons claimants to fill out positive
answers to all questions that are en-
bodied in the blanks, and to have all
evidence sworn to before a notary pub
lie before being submitted to the COM
missioner. Omissions OF this char
acter necessitate the return of papers to
the claimant, and often occasion con-
siderable postponement. Representa-
tive Tongue will forward the pen used
by the president, as we'll as Speaker
Henderson and President Frye, of the
senate, in signing the pension bill, to
the Indian War veterans of Oregon.
he has had applications from the Ore
gon Historical Society for this pen, but
holds that it rightfully belongs to the
veterans, and if they see fit to turn it
over to the Historical Society, he has
no objection.
Senator Mitchell, who introduced the
bill, Senator Foster of Washington,
who reported it, and Representative
Tongue, who has been so active in the
house, and accomplished SO much in
getting it through, are very happy that
The bill is finally law. In fact, all
the Western representatives feel that
Iong fight has been won, and that mer-
Itorious services are to be rewarded.

ANTHRACITE COMBINATION.
President Roosevelt Wants to Know lf Rk
Trust

New York, July 2,-President Roose-
welt has requested Attorney General
Knox to submit an opinion, says a
Washington dispatch to the World, as
to whether the combination controlling
the anthracite coal output constitutes a
trust within the meaning of the Sher-
man antitrust act and the decision of
the United States supreme court there
on. In making this request the presi-
dent gave Attorney General Knox the
report recently prepared by Carroll D.
Wright, commissioner Of labor, after a
careful investigation Of the differences
existing between the coal operators and
the miners, the facts forwarded by
President Mitchell, OF the United Nine
workers OF America and all other data
in his possession bearing on the subject.
1t viii be the duty of Attorney Gen.
eral Knox to formulate an opinion for
the president, making definite decla
ration that the anthracite combination
does or does not constitute trust. His
present instructions did not require
him to go further and express an
opinion as to the probability of success
full prosecution under the Sherman anti
trust act
The president will, it is believed, de-
termine on his subsequent line of action
after Attorney General Knox has len.
dered his opinion.

A FLOATING POS roFFIcE.
Handling of Mails for Vessels on the
Detroit River.

Handling of Mails for Vessels on the
Detroit River.
A small yacht-like white steamer
dances over the swells Of the Detroit
River to meet and exchange messages
and salutes with every one of the pass
ing ships-a little midget servant to
this enormous commerce. Without this
tiny steamer the lake commerce would
be as helpless as we of the cities and
towns ashore would be without the
postman and the postoffice.
The tremendous advance In shipping
facilities on the Great Lakes in recent
years has been due to tireless Ameri-
can enterprise, fostered by generous
appropriations by the government in
aids to navigation; so when the need
of this little messenger presented it.
self, the Washington authorities were
not slow In making the experiment
leading to It's adoption.
This method of handling United
States mail is the only one of Its kind
in existence, and the idea of a floating
postofice that successfully delivers
and receives mail to and from ships at
full speed Is only another Illustration
Of the wonders and far-reaching bene-
fits of our wideawake postal system.
The books of the United States Treas
ury Department in Washington now
contain the names Of nearly 1900 ships
that constitute tbs Great Lakes ma
rlne. The fresh-water sailors to whom
this feet is intrusted would, in num-
bers, make the population of large
city. They are, therefore, fairly en-.
titled to some means of communication
with their homes and families In the
States bordering the lakes, and with
friends far away, and the little white
steamer performs this service as per-
fectly as can be desired.
Before the establishment of this de-
livery 1t was difficult to send letters to
any one aboard ship, although Niaga-
ra's wall confined the movement of
vessels to the Great Lakes, and their
voyages back and forth were past the
shores of eight States, with a popula-
tion of 26,O00,OOO, and their ports of
call included six cities Of over 100000
population each. This may seem
strange, but it is easily explained by
the fact that the greater number of
lake steamers run wild"

MISS MORRISON CONVICTED.
Again Found Guilty Of Murder in the Second
Degree

Eldorado, Kan, July 2.-Jessie Nor
rison, in her third trial for the murder
OF Mrs. Olin Castle, at her home in
this city in June, 1900, was found
guilty of murder in the second degree
The jury was out ~ hours. The case
may be appealed again.
Jessie Morrison killed Clara Wiley
Castle with a razor in quarrel eight
days after Mrs. Castle had been mar.
ried to Olin Castle, with whom both
women had been in love. Miss Morri-
son is the daughter of II. NJ. Morrison.
formerly circuit Judge. The first
trial resulted in disagreement. At
the second trial Miss Morrison was
found guilty of manslaughter and given
a five year sentence. She spent but
two months in the Ipenitentiary, being
granted new trial last February.
AS the foreman finished reading the
verdict in the present trial Miss Morri.
son turned pale. threw her arms around
her aged fathers neck, hid her head on
his shoulder and both wept bitterly.
Later in her cell Miss Morrison refused
to talk except to say that she had not
expected a conviction, adding:
"The Judge was against me from the
first to the last. 8"

FEDERAL ARBITRATION BOARDS
House Labor Committee Orders Favorable Re.
port on the Bill.

Washington, July 1.-The labor COM
mittee of the house has perfected and
ordered favorable report on the bill
empowering the president to appoint
federal arbitration boards to investigate
and adjust strikes, lockouts, etc, which
are of such magnitude as to affect in
terstate commerce. The membership
of the board was reduced to five men,
bers, three to be appointed by the pres.
ident and one by each Of the parties to
the labor controversy. The duties OF
the board are to investigats and report
the facts, the idea being that publicity
of the actual facts will do much to COM
pei an adjustment. Furthermore, pro-
vision is made that the contending
parties may submit their cause to the
board of arbitration for final decision,
but this is not compulsory. The bill
will be reported at once, but it is too
late in the session to expect final
action.
