HOME FROM
QUAKE CITY
Sam Goldstone Spent
Two Nights in
the Park

Sam Goldstone. merchant at Cotton
wood. was an arrival yesterday from,
Portland where he has been VISITING
since the San Francisco disaster Mr.
Goldstone was in San Francisco ar.
companied by the Misses Anna and
Minnie Binnard, and the members NJ
the party sustained loss of from
$500 to $4,000 in .jewelry and cloth
ing.
THE scene IL indescribable," said
Mr. Goldstone today when discussing
the disaster. I'VE were awakened bv
general topping OF the building
which lasted for thirty seconds and
large sections Of plaster were falling
from the walls and furniture and fix
lures being pitched to the floor. We
escaped in safety from the building
and to safe quarters.
"The scenes Of suffering during the
next few days were heartrending. Men
and women with their fingers bedecked
with diamonds followed in the wake
Of the government wagons and begged
tor food.
1.-THE work OF the United States reg
ulars II most commendable. The SOL
diers rendered a most valuable serv-
ice to the city and its destitute. Per-
feet order was maintained in all
quarters OF the city and the tired peo-
pie were protected from disturbances
Of any character during the night. The
parks were filled. but the soldiers were
there and the same protection was
Afforded"
Mr.. Goldstone and party spent two
| nights In the park and succeeded in
reaching Oakland the third day. He
states the doors Of the sister city were
thrown open to the refugees, but at no
place was greater hospitality shown
than in Portland, and the acts of the
Oregon citizens have won a very keen
regard for the Beaver state.

INDIANA to KEEP RICHES.
Whites Lose Suit for Share of Chero-
kee Wealth.

Washington. supreme court of
the United States Monday affirmed the
decision of the court of claims in the
case of Daniel Red Bird, the Chero.
kee nation and others, versus the
United States, known as the White
Mans Case" The cases involved the
long pending claims of 1000 and 5000
white persons to participate in the dis
tribution of the lands and the funds Of
the Cherokee nation because of mar
riage with members of the tribe
There are over 100000 acres of land
and the tribal funds are extensive
The decision was favorable to the In
dians.
The Indians strenuously resisted the
claim, contending that they had never
by law recognized property rights on
account of intermarriage. In passing
upon the cases the court of claims held
that the tribal lands are not communal
lands, but that whites who acquired
citizenship by marriage prior to 1875
have equal interests with the Indians.
In the case of marriages into the tribe
since that time it was held that no
right of property had been acquired
except by those who had paid into the
common fund the sum of $500. The
court of claims also held that white
husbands of Cherokee women who
have abandoned their wives have for
feited all rights as Cherokee citizens,
including that of participation in the
proceeds of sales of Cherokee lands.
The decision affirmed that decision
in all respects.

In Provisional Government.

Havana.-It is the intention of the
provisional government to have the
American troops here make extensive
practice marches throughout the coun.
try. This should not be interpreted
as threatening demonstration; the
step Is taken for it's moral effect on
the restoration of confidence. In a
general order Gen. j. Franklin Bell
enjoins all officers and enlisted men
of the American army OF occupation to
manifest all possible courtesy to-
wards Cubans of all parties, and to
take no active part in the suppression
of disorder, except in extreme emer.
gencies rendering interference for
the protection Of life and property
necessary. The duties OF the Ameri.
can forces are, generally speaking,
limited to the rendering of good Offices
for the prevention of friction between
conflicting elements.

The secretary of the interior, Mr..

that he would be unable to stay after
March 4. Mr.. Hitchcock has for some
time felt that the very exhausting
work he has been engaged in for over
eight years in the interior department
was wearing on him so as to make it
impossible for him much longer to
remain. At the presidents earnest
request he consented to accept re-
appointment on March 4, 1905, at the
time Of the presidents Inauguration.

they were in the Office that the groom
had paid friend $50 to secure him
a wife and he had induced the green

because he had good farm and was
well to do. The groom insisted that
the judge make her promise to worl,
for him, just like farm hand, because

bought wives in this manner and made
them do the farm work while they en-
joyed all the vacations that were com
ing.

hand and foot.
The robbers then helped themselves
to cash and escaped. They left $13C
in gold besides a quantity of silver or

THE ONLY VICTOR
NEW YORK REPUBLICANS WIN IN
GoVERNoRSHIP.
LOSE ALL OTHER CANDIDATES
Count In Queens County Under lnvee-
tlgatlon - Democrats Claim That
Fraund Is Being Practiced In the
Count.

NEW YORK-With the official vote
of but three counties missing, Lewis
s. Chanler Is apparently elected lieu
tenant governor on the democratic
Independence league ticket by plu'
rality OF approximately LOO votes
over M. Linn Bruce, republican. To
arrive at these figures Bruce's prob
able pluralities in the counties OF Es-
sex, ontario and Niagara are based on
the vote for the republican gubernato
rial candidate. Fulton county Is also
missing, except a statement of Bruce's
plurality over Chanler. While slight
changes may be made in the returns
from several counties, 1t is not be-
lieved they will materially reduce
Chambers lead, but on the contrary
may increase It.
1t appears that all the other candt
dates on the democratic state ticket
are elected by small pluralities, all OF
which will exceed Chambers.
The count in Queens county is under
investigation by the office of the state
attorney general. The reason for 1t 10
unknown.
Chairman Woodruff Of the state re-
publican committee said:
II am neither claiming nor conced-
ing anything. In the case of Bruce
probably the courts will have to pass
on the void ballots, possibly as many
as $4,000"
Very nearly full returns from all
counties of the vote for governor give
Hughes 746,334, Hearst 6S4,722.
Hughes plurality, 61,612.
Hughes plurality outside of Greater
New York was 136,33S. Hearst's plu.
rality in Greater New York was 74,728.
Chairman Corners said that the re-
publicans were holding back the re-
turns; that fraud was being practiced
and that In his opinion there were
enough independence league ballots
not counted to reduce greatly Mr..
