would give our Government to demonstrate
by an object lesson the strength Of its nli,

That demonstration was expected to i'm
press not only the minds Of the Moros. but
those of the Sulu group. Some time ago. At
may be recalled, there was talk Of the

will be done away with and the Moros ev-

In that country concerning divorce:
"A divorce on the part of the husband
Ia easily obtained. One Of the legal
causes of divorce is II the husband

all my long experience In japan l have
met only one man who discarded his
wife, and ! never met with family
where dissension existed, nor have |
ever heard of a husband treating his
wife with severity. although the same
cannot be said of some parents-in-law,
who consider their sons wife a mere
chattei. AS general rule. the appear
anee of girls and women testifies of a
lightness Of heart not always found in
other climes where their sisters have

The case of Professor Phillips, ar
rested for I violation of the eight
bour law passed at the last legisla-
tive session and who was fined 500
By Justice of the Peace Damon at
Dayton and the case appealed to the
district court of Lyon county, came
up for hearing in that tribunal yes
terday before Judge NJ. A. Murphy,
who declared the law unconstitutional
on the ground that the Nevada con-
stitution provides that no bill passed
by the legislature covering two sepa-
rate measures can be operative. Had
two separate bills been introduced
and passed, one making eight hours
a days labor in underground work in
mines and another making the same
hours days labor in ore reduction
works-under separate titles-the acts
would have been constitutional Tne
decision may be appealed to the su-
preme court by labor unions"
The Carson News says:
In Dayton yesterday, Judge Murphy
declared the eight-hour law, passed
by the late legislature, to be uncon-
stitutional.
About everybody surmised that it
was such and it is charged that the
introducers and apparently most en-
thusiastic workers in its behalf, well
knew that it would not stand the tests
of the courts. as it stood The eight
hour law was a political expediency."

WILL OPEN INDIAN LANDS
Walker Lake Reservation Will
be Available

Maj. Laughlir, inspect r o' IuGlan
reservations, paid the Wa Ne lake res
ervation a visit last week to arrange
matters with the Piptcs ftr the throw
ing open of the reservation. Some
years ago, we understand, congress
took action looking toward opening
this reservation, and it has only re-
NAMED for the Indians to accept the
conditions to have the larger part of
reservation thrown open. Last week
was an auspicious time for a visit
By the inspector, as a great many In
dians were there from all over the
country. We are informed that the
offer made by the government is to
give each Indian who IS the head of a
family twenty acres of land and $500.
The land is to be held in trust for
twenty-five years, and at the expira-
tion of that time Will be decided to
them with the understanding that it
is to be held in severalty. There are
i'll the neighborhood of one hundred
heads of families now on the reserva-
ton, and the money consideration is
to be paid to them at once. At this
meeting with Maj Laughlin, the In
dlans agreed to these conditions, and
it will therefore be but short time
before action is taken-in fact sur
vey will be started soon. The change
will simply throw Walker lake and
the mineral land now in the reserva-
tion out, practically leaving the graz
ing and farming land to the Indians
This move will throw open to the
prospector much mineral land which Is
considered valuable, also considerable
timber land.-Lyon County Times.

WELCOME SERvlAN'S RULER
Kino Peter Mounts the Throne
-Roosevelt to the Attorney
General

DES MONIES. June 24.-With the
slegates evenly divided upon the re-
,Srmation of the Kansas City plat
form. the state Democratic convention
vas called to order today. A confer
spce was held this morning by the
followers of the silver idea and 1t was
decided to fight to the end any desire
10 keep out of the platform reference
TO the Kansas City plank.
One of the candidates for the guber-
Eatorial nomination is openly adyo-
eating the adoption of plank recon-
mending government ownership In
railways. When the committe assem-
bled the first act was to appoint j.
N. Parsons of Lyons, to prepare a res
olution on the subject for considera-
ton. A special committe has been
chosen to prepare a plank to give ex-
presison on the views held upon the
money question and 1t is more than
probable that the Kansas City plat
form will not be mentioned.
At 1870 the committee on resolutions
took a vote upon reaffirming the Kan
sas City platform. The roll call show
Ell seven votes against and four in
favor. This settles the question OF re-
affirmation.

AUTO PARTY COMING
Expected in Reno Yesterday,
On Way East

A. c. Johnson, who is going in ad-
vance of the party that is making
transcontinental automobile trip, ar
rived in Reno yesterday, says the
Journal.
The party started from the Cliff
house, san Francisco, and intend TO
go to New York city, in an attempt
to make a record-breaking trip across
the continent.
The machine is identical in con-
struetion with ordinary gaso inc motor
cars, except that ii is geared lower
and carries an extra gasoline tank
holding six gallons in addition to the
regular supply. 1t also has a provis-
ion for overcoming the effect of high
attitudes on the gasoline.
The route chosen lies through Port
Costa, Sacramento, Placerville, Car
son. Reno, Wadsworth, Winnemucca,
thence to Salt Lake. thence eve Cree
river and Glenwood springs, Colo, TO
Denver From Denver eastward no
route has been selected as yet. A
camera and instruments Of accurate
observation of grades and attitudes
form part of the eeuiDment carried
and 1t is the intention to gather much
material which will facilitate trans
continental touring by motorists In
the future.
