weeks, is that OF Martin A. Burke, OF No l2S
Oak-st.. Yonkers, who was stricken q week be-

in such a helpless condition that he Is now
obliged to crawl on his hands and knees in

ice wagon
For three weeks Mr.. Burke lay fiat on his
back, never moving uttering sound.
Three weeks after being stricken, Mr.. Burke
awoke from his sleep but was unable to move
a limb. The nourishment which he then re-
ceived helped TO strengthen his constitution, and
a week later he able to move his arms and
legs, but his backbone was weak and he could
not raise himself in bed. few days later he

Washington, July 27.-Commissioner Richards OF
the General Land Office to-day expressed the opin-
ion that mineral locations may be made in that
part of the UIntah Indian Reservation lands, in
Utah which was recently reserved for forestry
purposes In the same manner in which such loca-
tons may be made in other forest reservations
About fifty thousand acres Of the land in the
reservation will be held for reclamation by irrga-
ton ,rder the direction of the government and
will not be subject to entry.
Mr. Richards was told that a purported inter
view with him had been printed, charging him
with casting reflections the people Of Salt Lake
City in connection with the proposed opening OF
the Tintah Reservation. In explanation ne salo'

tofore seemed To be the for their not doing
so They are practically independent of one an
other and are not desirous of scheme Of

belittling.
In the reports of the scheme this morning there
are a number Of misleading statements. For in
stance one account speaks of thirty-two potteries
In East LIVERPOOL the home OF domestic potterles
There NAV be thirty-two potterieS there, but this
does not represent thirty-two different men or sets
of men The Homer Laughlin China Company has
five of the thirty-two- The Wheeling Pottery has
five aud the Trenton and number OF others have
four and three respectively.
Then too the capitalization is far too high. Com
petition between the domestic and the Engish
factories Is very keen and this fact has been en-.
larged upon with great care for the purpose or
showing To the Americans their peril and their
