has been in Minot since Easter
Sunday. He has a good paper
and is doing a fine business, his
paper now being legal.
A report from Stanley states
that considerable contesting is
going on there now. The reason
is the lack of attention some OF
the homesteaders are giving to
their claims. An effort is being
made to get in homesteaders
whose intentions are right. Good
government land from five to 25
miles of the town can still be Sc
cured.
The city council at Fits last
meeting ordered a side walk to
be built on the west side OF RAM
stad street. The street is always
in very muddy condition after
a rain and there is no place in
the city which needs a walk so
badly. Walks were ordered built
in other places.
Shelley B. Miller writes from
Pendleton, Ore, that the weather
is at it's best and everything on

that respect.

RICHMOND CARS
They are Run Under an AL
 most Martial Law.
The Soldiers in the Event ofa Serious Disturbance are Directed to Shoot to Kill.

Richmond. Va, June 25.-The street ears were run on three of the city lines this afternoon and are running tonight so far without serious molestation. On each car were four. six or eight militia men with rifles loaded and bayonets fixed. Strong guards of milftiamen were on duty during the day at all the powerhouses and car barns. including the west end barn in Henry county
 Stringent orders were issued by the authorities today with object of maintaining order, women and children being asked to remain at home as far as possible and the troops being speci- hcally directed to shoot promptly and 10 kill if necessary IG prevent destruc> ton of property or peril to life or limb.
 Arrests are made on the slightest provocation and altogether what is very nearly martial law is being en forced.
 There were some slight outbreaks of disorder A volley was fired over the heads of a riotous crowd by a squad of troops on car. but tonight the cars are running over the whole extent oi the several lines and no violence has been reported from any part of the city.
 Just before midnight unknown per- sons in ambush outside the city limits opered fire on passing cars. A motor man and two soldiers were slightly wounded. Two arrests have been made

YALE VICTORIOUS
All Three Races Were Won
 Over Harvard
It is Generally Attributed to Be Due to the Newly Discovered Stroke of John Kennedy.

New London, Conn.,, June 25-For the first time on record Yale today tri- umphed over Harvard in all three of their boat races in the annual regatta on the Thames. Wearers of the blue won the eight pared varsity race by three and a half boat lengths, the freshman eight-oared race by two and a quarter lengths, and the varsity four-oared race by one and a half lengths.
 In all the three races Harvard put up a memorable fight and went down to defeat after a gallant struggle in which her boys rowed out the last ounce of their strength.
 Yale's three victories were attributed by experts to the superiority of the stroke taught Yale by John Kennedy over that taught Harvard by her grad uate coaches.
 So far as physical form is concern ed there was no choice between the crews except with the possible eXcep- tion that the Yale freshmen outweigh ed their Harvard rivals by over seven pounds per man.

THE WOOD MINES COMPANY, capital stock $5O,OOO.OO (5,OOO shares par value 5000 per share). is being or ganized to purchase and operate a group of gold mines near Phoenix whose substantial value has just been demonstrated. The stock is limited and has all been placed, but as the enter prise is of particular interest to Phoe- nix business men (from whom all sup plies used are being purchased), 1.250 shares at $l2.50 per share have been set aside from the company's treasury for sale in Phoenix.
 The conservatism of this proposition must be self-evident. Under ordinary methods such a property would be flOated on a million dollar capitaliza- tion. Instead of spending large sums for guady pamphlets, agents commits sions, "secretary's salaries etc, the entire receipts from this sale of stock will be used in purchasing a mill, con centration and cyanide plant, so that the mine will immediately become a producer and dividend payer. It is in fact, a. ground floor" opportunity.
 Tn 1900 I demonstrated that the old Cobre Grande Co, cn a capitalization of half a million. could earn net profits of $1.50000 per day. I can as truthfully assert that after installation of the plant above referred to, the net earn ings of the Wood Mines Co. will ex- ceed 30 per cent of the capitalization.
 I shall be at the mines for several days but can be reached by addressing me at 42 N. Center St.

A HEPPNER SOUVENIR
A Small Relic ofThat Most Disastrous
 Flood.

Mrs. F.. J. Keeney of Five Points. whose sister. Miss Bertha Fristoe, was lost in the flood at Heppner. Or, yes. terday received letter from her nephew, H. C. McChargue giving some ghastly details of the awful disaster. He said that the body of Miss Fristoe was found several miles below the city on June 16. It was found packed in snow and ice and hail. There were no bruises on it. It was buried on the fol- lowing day. At the time of the writing of the letter 177 bodies had been buried. There were many which would never be recovered having no doubt been carried out to the sea. Others were supposed to be in the vicinity covered with debris. It was impossible to esti> mate the number of the lost.
 MT. McChargue sent along with the letter a souvenir. of the wreck. It is the ivory key of a pinano which was found two mics below Heppner. Other parts of the instrument were scattered about in the vicinity. The writer of the letter said inc went 10 Heppney with the intention of staying several days but one day was enough for him. There was little about the town thai

OUR TREATY WITH CHINA.

Pekin, June 25.-It is probable that the instructions received from Wash ington by the American treaty commits conclusion of the negotia tions for a new commercial treaty will have the effect of entirely annulling the recent edict transferring the negotiations to PeHin. Japan, which has already begun negotiations for a new treaty. and Italy are also opposed to having the place of negotiations changed
 It is expected that the powers for whom important trade questions will be fought out by the United States Great Britain and Japan. and whose trade with China is small. will claim concessions and other rights under the pretence that they have gained nothing through the negotiations before they will consent to the trade relations es- tablished by the new treaties. . In this event negotiations on the questions raised by them will necessar- fly be conducted through their lega- tions here.
 The question of establishing a Rus sian customs house at Dalny has not been settled, although it was asserted during the past rPonth that an agree. nent was imminent after the manner of the Kiaochou settlement with tn. Germans. allowing Russian customs commissioner at Dalny, who would b. under the authority of Sir Rober Hart. director of the imperial mari time customs.

Justice MCMiIIan of N. M. Regarding His Removal.
TO GO BEFORE CONGRESS
He Claims That His Firing was not Judicial-That It Was Brought About by Witnesses Who Had Been Disappointed.

( Denver. Colo. June 25.-The Rocky Mountain News will tomorrow print q statement from Judge McMiuan, asso- ciate justice of New Mexico. regarding his removal from office.
 Said he: "I am surprised at the out come of my case. When it was submit ted in April was satisfied had estab- lished a complete vindication. I never had charge of matter where every point in controversy had been more thoroughly met and answered"
 The judge very bitterly attacked the character of some of the witnesses against him and declared that diSap- pointed ambition had much to do with the charges against him. He said: T believe Attorney General Knox intend ed to be eminently fair and just, but the assistants in the department were filled with prejudice against me by one Of my opponents"
 The judge declared that he would not allow the smirch upon his character to stand, adding: When congress con- venes shall ask the senate to send for the record and pass upon the question whether it contains anything to justify the decision"

AN EASY VICTORY
Won by Young COrbett Over
 Rufus Murphy
The Boston Lad Seemed to Have no Opportunity from the Beginning. His Chance Ended in the Sixth.

Boston, Mass, June 25.-Young Cor bett of Denver knocked out Hughey Murphy of New York in six rounds at catch weights here tonight The con- test was witnessed by upwards of $500 people.
 Corbett nearly finished his man in the first round. flooring him twice in quick succession. The Denver boys in- side fighting was supecb and he slashed with both hands with telling effect. In the fourth round only did Murphy out point Corbett and then he made things look a little doubtful.
 Round l.-The men opened cautiously. Corbett landed stiff right and left and Murphy's courage seemed to be early on the wane. His blows were met with rapid rights and lefts from the Denver lad. A right swing almost sent Mur- phy under the ropes. Another and he was sent to the mat The referee counted six and the New York boy rose slowly to his feet. Corbett again floored him with a savage right swing, and just as the referee counted nine Murphy regained his feet with his nose bleeding.
 Round 2.-Murphy came up refreshed after having narrowly escaped two knockouts in the first round. Corbett tried hard to repeat his tactics. but was met by rigid resistance. Both clinched considerably and the crowd shouted for them to break. Murphy displayed good generalship.
 | Round 3.-Corbett did the leading, devoting his attention to Murphy J body and worked his left to the latter's head. Murphy edged h several wicked uppercuts and clung 10 his opponent. | Round 4.-Corbett led left to Mur- phys head and Murphy replied by three ! jabs that had little force. He sent left and right to Corbett's body. Corbet: | fought fiercely on the inside. using both hands with telling effect.
 Round 5.-Corbett rushed at Murphy
 who stopped a left jab aimed at his ose. Murphy did considerable dodg- ing and Corbett seemed anxious, as he
 had from the outset. to wind up tho
 battle. Corbett sent left and right ic
 Murphy's body and left side of the
 head Murphy jabbed four times iI
 return, but his blows had little ginger
 Round 6-This round lasted but abou one minute. Corbett used both hand.
 as in previous rounds, and knocked hi.
 man out with a terrific right on th' jaw.

THE BURNING OF WHITE
His Colored Countrymen Inclined to Make Trouble and the Police Are Kept on-the Move.

Wilmington. Del, June 25.-A riot broke out on the streets here late to- night between the whites and negroes which for a time assumed serious pro- portions. The arrival Of a squad Of police. however. quickly dispersed the participants. Two arrests wefe made. A large gang of negroes numbering probably 200 who had been marching up and down Ninth street Were. chai- lenged by about twenty-five white men and in the battle that followed over hurdred shots were fired.
 A squad of police under Captain Evans. and Sergeant McDermGtJ rushed to the scene and charged upon the mob. The negroes and whites scattered and fled in all directions. but the police succeeded in capturing two of the negroes. Leander MOOra and Joseph Shockley. The policemen used their clubs freely and in the melee at tendant upon the arrests Sergeant Me Dermott and Patrolman Green receiv- ed slight wounds. One negro. James Mercer. was shot iE the head during the riot but his wound is not believed to be serious.
 In a brawl in another part of the city. William Cramer. a negro. was shot in the stomach by white man He was taken to hospital in serious condition.
 The leaders of the party of negroes who were marching on Ninth street to- night declared that they intend to re- sent the attacks made upon members of their race last night. They say they have been badly abused and that they did not intend to quietly submit to such abuse.
 They say they have no sympathy for White, the negro who was iynched. but ] that on the contrary most of their race in and about Wilmington approve of his lynching.

AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
A Sign of the Breaking Up of the
 Double Government.

Vienna, June 25.-Count HOdervarys formal acceptance today of Emperor Francis Joseph's invitation to form . new Hungarian cabinet entails his re- signation as ban of Croatia, and much satisfaction IS expressed by the Croa- tians at his retirement after twenty years of unpopular rule.
 The Viennese press unanimously con- demns Count Hodervary's surrender to the demands of the opposition in the diet. characteriZing it as a first step toward the dissolution of the present liberal majority and consequently being perilously near the breaking up of the dual system of government of Hungary and Austria.
