MARTIAL LAW CEASES.
Governor Revokes His Order in Teller
County Case.

Denver, Feb. 2.-The reign of military
law in Teller county where members
of the Western Federation of Miners
have been on strike for some months, is
at an end. This was brought about to-
day by the issuance of a proclamation
by Governor Peabody revoking his order
for martial law which went into effect
early in December In his proclamation
the governor expresses the belief that
the civil authorities are now willing and
able to assume charge of the affairs OF
the district and successfully cope with
the situation In the Telluride district
the military will continue to rule, at least
for the present, but Governor Peabody
expresses the belief that he will be justi-
fled in suspending martial law there also
in a few days. During the day the mill
tiamen who have been acting as guards
as the different mines in the Cripple
Creek districts, and also those who have
been patrolling the outlying sections,
were ordered to Camp Goldield, where
they will remain until they are perman-
emily recalled from the district The
municipal authorities Immediately as
sumed their former duties and are now
in charge of the district. As soon as
the proclamation Of the governor went
into effect Col Verdeckberg. commander
of the military forces in Teller county,
ordered all the prisoners in the military
jail removed to the county Jail, which
order was Immediately carried out Dis
trict Judge Lewis then called up the
cases pending against these men and re-
leased some on bond and ordered the
others returned to the custody of the
sheriff, saying that he would hear the
charges against them in due time Ad-
jutant General Bell and Brigadier Cen
eral John Chase, who were formerly in
command in the Cripple Creek district,
appeared in court today ready to an
swer charges against them growing out
of the military control of the district
Judge Lewis announced a day on which
their cases will be heard. Information
tonight from Cripple Creek is to the ef-
feet that all is quiet there and no change
is apparent though the suspension Of
martial law.

ON NAVAL AFFAIRS
Secretary Moody Makes a
Strong Statement.
FAVORS THE HALE BILL
Would Give the Government
Discretion in Shipping.

washington. Feb. 2.-Secretary Moody
made strong statement to the house
committee on naval affairs. during his re-
cent testimony on the naval appropriation
bill in favor OF the Hale bill 10 give
discretion to the president. the secretary
of the navy or the secretary of war, as
to the employment of foreign ships in the
transportation of supplies between the
United States and the Philippines after
July / next, when the coastwise laws be-
come operative and exclude foreign ves-
sells from this trade.
IF the bill proposed by Senator Hale
becomes a law" said he, we shall have
no difficulty. The bill in one section con-
fines the shipment of stores to vessels
of the United States and in another per
mits the president or the secretary of the
navy to suspend the operation of the act
whenevr public interests requires. There
will be no difficulty in getting along all
right If that measure should become
law.
II sympathized with the idea that we
ought to transport our stores with Amer
ican vessels. but at the present time we
cannot do it, for we are bound to give
the transportation to the lowest bidder,
and American ships cannot compete with
foreign ships. The result is that most of
the transportation is in foreign bottoms.
| would like TO change that very much.

proposed by Senttar Hale to become law.

CANADIAN RAIL RUMOR.
Pittsburg Story of RebIling to United
States Contradicted

New York. Feb. 9.-A story reported
from Pittsburg was circulated in the IL
nanciaI district to the effect that western
roads have been ordering steel rails
through Canadian brokers, in order to
benefit by the price OF so a ton being
made TO Canadian lines. II was alleged
that it was possible to ship rails 10 Can
adian consumers and rebil such freight
to the United States without breaking
bulk. after informing the Canadian gov
ernment officials that mistake had been
made in not originally billing the rails as
through freight.
It was pointed out today in well-im-
formed quarters how such practice was
highly improbable. To guard against the
miscarriage of shipments intended for
foreign consumption. the method gener-
ally adopted is 10 bill all export goods
at regular prices. = rebate is then given
when the foreign agent Of the manufac-
turer is offered satisfactory evidence that
the consignment was regular The rail-
roads adopt the same method Of pro-
lection against the fraudulent use OF low
rates offered TO induce expor; shipments

WILL BE SETTLED.
No Quarrel Will Result Over Owner
shin of the Islands.


London Feb. ERNEST w. Birch, gov
ernor of British North Borneo. VINO has
arrived here, says General Leonard Wood,
while recently at Sandakan, capital of
North Boneo. informed him that the ques-
ton of the ownership of the islands on
the coast of Borneo over which United
States war vessel has hoisted the Ameri-
can flag would be amicably settled as
there was no strong desire on the part
of the Americans to keep them.
Washington, Feb. Investigation here
shows that General Wood was fully au-
thorized to make the statement attributed
to him relative to an amicable settlement
of the ownership of the islands off the
coast of Borneo. The issue as TO the
ownership of these islands was made
by the despatch 10 those waters by Ad-
miral Evans, of the gunboat Quiros, which
hoisted the United States flag on some OF
the islands. They are said here to be
practically worthless, but fearing that
the Sultan of Jolo might undertake TO
bestow them on some other nation, the
question was placed in the hands of Cen
eral Wood with the single understanding
that the islands are to he declared part
of either the British or the American
possessions 1t is presumed that General
Wood will report to Washington in ac-
cordance with his statement to the gov
ernor of North Borneo and that the
question of title will be finally settled
by a treaty or protocol between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain.

C. {. LITTLEFIElDS FUTURE.
Congressman Reported to Intend to
Return to Law Practice.

Washington, Feb. Sit is current gossip
here that Charles e. Littlefeld will not
remain long in congress preferring to
return to practice as a lawyer. with his
home and headquarters in Boston. 1t is
noted that Mr. Littlefield while recognized
as in the front rank for ability in the
house, has taken a much less promi-
nent part in the proceedings during the
last two years than when he first came
It is believed that he is somewhat dis
appointed because of the ineffectiveness
of the work of the house of representa-
tives by comparison with the senate, and
while he would doubtless be glad 10
serve the state of Maine in the latter body
shrould either Hale or Frye retire, he
would not care to remain with any per-
manency in the lower chamber The two
Maine senators both entered the senate
In 1881 Mr.. Frye is y years old, and Mr..
Hale is nearly IS: but both are remark
ably well preserved and are good for
many years of service. If Mr.. Littiefeld
should remove to Boston. it would Of
course cut him off from the possibility
of this succession. Otherwise. he should
and in all probability would, be the next
senator from Maine.
