Yesterday left but one ground on
which to base a prosecution, namely
that the entries had been for the
benefit of the Pacific Coal & oil com
pany a foreign corporation. If this
were the only land case pending he
would proceed with the testimony at
once, but there were many indict-
ments and great interests involved
and the government desired that a
record be made here and reviewed
by the supreme court, in order that
the questions in controversy might
be settled for all time. Therefore,
the government would abandon it's
alien character of the Pacific Coal &
OIL company.
Counsel for the defendants moved
that the indictments be quashed and
the defendants discharged on the
ground that the indictments did not
charge a crime. Mr.. Townsend as
sented to the proposed action and in
order that the defendants should not
be placed twice in jeopardy, asked
that a juror be withdrawn. The
court struck off Juror No. 81. duashed
the indictments. discharged the de-
PENDANTS and excused the remaining
jurors.
The case will now be taken to the
supreme court of the United States
by the government on writ of error.

settle finally the famous Alaska coal
land cases.
All proceedings in the lower courts
and the land offices will rest in abey-
ance pending the supreme courts de-

kicked his way through two big plate
glass windows of a jewelry store at
the corner of Maiden lane and Broad

diamonds in the window flying in all
directions. Precious stones by the
tens of thousands dollars worth were
swept into the street, buried among
masses of finely broken glass. Police
men stationed at this, one of the bust
est corners in downtown New York,
in the heart of the wholesale jewelry
district, had all they could do to con-
troll the crowds which pushed into the
thick OF the fray and watched the pro
prietors and clerks of the jewelry es-
tablishment in mad scramble to
pick the gems out of the debris and
save everything possible. The jewell
ers said 1t would take an inventory to
tell If anybody had gotten away with

the two Vermont Congressman
Voted in the Negative

Washington, April 22-president
Taft's Canadian reciprocity agree
ment, supported by all but a handful
of Democrats and opposed by ma
jority of the Republicans passed the
House of Representatives early last
evening by a vote of 265 to SO. With
nearly 200 Democrats in control, and
their action endorsed by a large body
of the Republicans, the bill to put the
agreement in force was adopted with
no amendments and in almost iden-
tically the form in which 1t passed
the house in the last session Of the
preceding congress.
The passage of the bill marked the
close of fight that had ragged in the
House for six days. During that time
the safety of the measure was at no
time threatened, but the Democratic
and Republican leaders working for
its passage conceded all the opportu-
nifty desired by its opponents for
debate and protest against lit. Fol-
lowing the same policy, amendments
were admitted in the House yester-
day for almost every section OF the
bill, and in each case they were re-
jected by an overwhelming vote, on
the theory that any amendment would
nullify the agreement.
Ten Democrats voted against the
bill on its passage, and 1877 Democrats
voted for 1t. AS at the preceding SEES
sion of Congress. a majority of the
Republicans were against 1t, the par
ty vote being 81 for and rs opposed.
Representative Berger OF Wisconsin
the Socialist member, voted for it, and
Representative Akin of New York
who ranks as an Independent voted
against IT, Vermont's two congress
men, ID. j. Foster and Frank Plum
ley voted against the measure.
