terday afternoon, and as result Cap
tain Adigard, commander of the battle
ship; Captain Vertier, chief CT staff OF
the Mediterranean squadron, and from
70 to 80 bluejackets are dead, while
Rear Admiral Manceron and hundreds
of men are suffering from injuries.
Naval circles are aghast and the public
is stunned by the appalling catastrophe,
coming so soon after the loss Of the
French submarine boat Lutin, in which
10 men met death.
The entire after part of the Jena was
blown to pieces. The bodies of the VIC
Tins were hurled through the air by q
succession of explosions and panic
stricken workmen at the arsenal fed
for their lives from the vicinity of the
drydock. Scores on board the Jena
jumped over board on the stone quays
and sustained serious injuries.
The primary cause of the accident
was the premature explosion of tor
pedo. What caused the explosion is
not known, but the powder magazines
OF the Jena were set on fire and the re-
suiting explosions practically destroyed
what was considered one of the best
vessels OF the French navy. The Jena

tlon of her hull and machinery. the
latter part having been partly over

an opinion of much interest in connec.
ton with the subject of forest reserves
Adigo Domingo was indicted at the last
term OF court for driving sheep into
forest reserves without a permit He
interposed a demurrer, claiming the
forest reserve law is invalid, insofar as
IL authorizes the secretary of argicul-
ture to make such regulations for graz
ing III reserves, the contention being
that the act attempts to rest legislative
power in the secretary. Judge Beatty
overIuled the demurrer, holding that
making OF regulations to carry out pro
visions OF the law are entirely within
the authority of the secretary.

Boise, March 13.--Evidences oil grai'
IN the arid land reclamation service oi
the government has been discovered
and is now in possession of the depart
ment of the Interior at Washington.
Action looking toward number OF in
dictments is anticipated. The pr1nci-
oal evidence, 80 far as disclosed here,
relates to gratis in Idaho, but It is
said that similar conditions exist
throughout the service and that officials
In nearly all the Western states where
irrigation work is in progress will have
TO answer.
The Federal grand jury, now in seq
sion here, will probably take the mat
Ter up, 40 far as this state Ia affected,
If the new secretary of the interior,
james R. Garfield, says the word, and
decides to furnish evidence now in his
possession. Agents Of the department
have been conducting an investigation
for GONE time. Their discoveries in
Idaho are said to typify conditions in
other places, and reorganization of
the department is said to be in pros
pect.
Tie charges In general are that en-
eineers and other officials of the de-
partment are standing in" with ia
vored contractors in some instances,
and in other instances have thrown out
bids in order to make commissions on
the purchase of machinery by the gov
eminent and to profit in other ways.
In Idaho the Boise ayette irrigation
project has been under special scrutiny.
Evidence has been secured bearing
on the relations of the contracting firm
Of Hubbard & Carlson, having head
quarters at Boise, with certain depart
ment officials. 1t is charged in aft
davits now on file that this firm has re-
eeived many special favors and expla-
nation has been asked of the reason for
this.

that the immigration authorities, as

South have participated, will interpret
the existing immigration law as it was
Interpreted in the South Carolina case.
The attorney general has held that the
immigrants landed at Charleston, s. O..
last November, are legally in the coun-
try. They were induced to come to
America by authorized agents of South
Carolina and the passage money for
some, at least, of them was paid bv
the state, and others by contributions
OF the citizens. Several other Southern
states have decided to seek immiera-
tion along the same lines as were fol-
lowed by South Carolina and it is un-
ierstood they will not be interfered
