Soderberg. in volVing d question as to what coEsti tutes mineral lands as used in the act of July2, 1S6i, was decided today by the supreme court of the United States in favor Of Soderberg. The railway com pany sought to enjoin him from re moving or disposinS of granite from the quarter section of land in Wash ington state. of which he had taken possession under q mineral location. Justice Shiras delivered the opinion for Justice Brown.

FOR STABILITY
 OF EXCHANGE
On Line Of Recommendation
 Made by the President
It's Importance to United States Citi- 2ens Who Have Investments in Silver Using Countries Inten- tional Bimetillism Contemplated.

Washington. February 23.-Secretary Shaw. Robert E. Armstrong, who will qualify soon as assistant secretary of the treasury, and the sub committee of the house coinage committee, consist ing of Representative Southard Southeu and Cochran, had conference with President Roosevelt today con- corning means for putting into effect the proposition transmitted by the pres ident to congress on January 29 in d special message.
 President Roosevelt's message con- veyed to congress a report from Secre- tary Hay, with an accompanying lot of memoranda from the Mexican ambas- sador and Chinese charge d'affaires. Mexico and China are seeking the co- operation of this government in such measures as will tend to restore and maintain fixed the relationship between the moneys of gold standard countries and silver using countries. It is not asked that the United Sta tes codify d monetary system. and it is stated dis tinctly that there is no movement in contemplation for a restoration of in ternational bimetallism.
 The particular desire is that measures be adopted that will prevent great fuc- tuations in exchange which now occur in trade with silver using countries Citizens of the United States now have investments in Mexico alone aggregat- ing more than half q billion dollars The earnings of these enterprises have suffered q serious falling in gold value with every fall in the value of Mexican money. This fact. it is suggested brings home to this country the desira- bility Cf adopting some means to in sure 2 stability of exchange.
 After considering the subject care fully. it was the opinion of the parties to today's conference that it would be wise for congress to confer with the president to appoint three commission CTS of the United States to participate in any international conference on the question of the stability of exchange that might be arranged. It is expected that another effort will be made at the present session to leave tnuL authority to the president

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
 What Postum Did There.

A Well-knOWn figure at the National Capital is that of an attorney -at-laW and solicitor of patents. who has been prac acticing before the courts and the Department of the Interior at Wash irgton fer more than 25 years. The eX- perience of this gentleman with coffee is unusually interesting for it proves that although the ill results from coffee are slow they are sure. He says: T have consumed coffee at my meals for many years, but of late years have been annoyed by deranged stomach and sleeplessness, pains in my head, nervousness and confusion of the mind. About IS months ago l quit coffee and commenced to use Postum Food Coffee and have experienced the most pleasing and beneficial results therefrom.

DAILY PLAGUE DEATH
 REDUCED TO ONE
The Disease Creeping Close Upon the
 Governor of the State.

MaZatlan, Mex. February 23.-There was only one death from the plague to- day and that was at the observa ton station. There are thirty-five patients at the laZeretto, with the condition nf eight doubtful. Two hundred persons are TOW isolated. A bull ring is now being used as prison. as the jail is undergoing disinfection.
 Among the new cases two occurred among Sentries at the military hCspi- tal and one at the residence of MT. Valdez, director of maritime customs, the person attacked at the latter place being a maid servant, who was imme- diately sent to the laZeretto. She diel in few hours.
 Valdez, his son Ricardo, and son-in- law. Eduardo Perez Villanauva. who is the manager of the commercial house of Hernandez Mendla, are now in quar- antine. Valdez house adjoins that of the governor of the state.
 Governor Canedo is active in all pre- ventive measures and shows great pe"- sonal courage. He refuses to leave the city and go back to the state capital until the plague is stamped out.

vided in the protocol of February 13 failed in the effort to obtain from MT. Bowen the immediate payment in cash should be paid Germany thirty days from date, Germany today requested MT. Bowen to give a draft for the amount. payable in Caracas on the lat ter date.
 This latter request on behalf of the German embassy is by Herr Baltazzi, formerly charge d'affaires at Caracas, but who has since come to Washington and been assisting the embassy in the pending negotiations.
 MT. Bowen again was forced to de- cline this request, which he did politely at the same time reminding Herr Bal taZzi that he was bound by the terms of the protocol, which provided that 5,5CO pounds sterling should be paid at Caracas on the 18th day of March to the diplomatic representative of Ger many. Just what reason was given by the German representative for making the request is not known. Such a. draft, however. it is presumed. would be negotiable and the Ger money it called for. The whole matter, il is presumed, hinges or the question of the return of the ships, national and private, which were taken by German warshipS during the blockade and re- garding which there appears to be T hitch

LOTTERY CASES
 IN SUPREME COURT
Tickets Nay Not Be Transmitted
 From One State to Another.

Washington, February 23.-The power of congress to prohibit the sending of lottery tickets from one state to an other by other means than the mails vas passed on today by the supreme court of the United States. The Ques- tion arose in connection with two cases that of Champion vs. the United States. and that of Francis vs. the United States. In both cases the con- sttutionality of the act of congress of 1895, prohibiting the transmission of lottery tickets from enc state to an other by express or otherwise, was challenged.
 The opinion in the Champion case was delivered by Justice Harlan and sustained the validity of the law In the Francis case Justice Holmes spoke for the court. holding that the offense alleged did not come within the scope of the law in question.
 Both were criminal cases
 Champion at the time of his arrest was in Chicago representing the Pan American lottery of Paraguay The particular charge was the delivering Of box of lottery tickets to the Wells Fargo Express company in Texas for shipment to California. He was ar rested in Chicago to be taken to Texas. and he immediately sued out writ of habeas corpus which the federal circuit court refused to grant. He appealed from that adverse decision to the su- preme court, and it is this appeal which was decided today, the decision being adverse to him.
 | The contention of the counsel for the | lottery men was that the suppression of lotteries belongs exclusively to the police power of the several states and is not a federal function, and that con- | seuuently the law of 1895 is in derOea- l ton of the tenth amendment to the ! constitution. which provides: Powers not delegated to the United States bv the constitution nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved to the states respectively or to the people,
 They also contend that the sending of lottery tickets or policy slips from one state to another does not constituta an act Of interstate commerce.
 Justice Harlan's opinion in the Cham
 pion case proceeded entirely on the theory that the transmission of lottery
 tickets from enc state to another is T
 form Of interstate commerce, because
 they are subject to traffic and have money value. and hence the law was o regulation of interstate commerce.
