"Fite Petition of New York Indians for

BIBLK RKADING OPPOSED.
Tin1 Chicago Labor Congress Opposed to
Any 1C« 1 iki<>-.1 s Heading in the Schools —
a Long lllcycle Ride—Hrleklajrers
Wttut a Six-Hour Day.
Washington, Nov. 10.—Judge John
Davis delivered the opinion of a major-
ity of the court of claims to-day, dis-
missing* the petition in the case of the
New York Indians who claimed from
the government 82,393,600, because
of the alleged lo«s of certain
lands in Kansas. In 1831 and
1832 the United States, through
treaties with the Menominee tribe in
Wisconsin set aside land in that state
lor those Indians of the New York
tribes who should emigrate there.
Some of the Indians went to Wisconsin
and received land, but the number
was relatively small. Another treaty
was therefore made in 1838,
which provided for a removal
further west. In that treaty
the government agreed to set aside
land for the tribes in what has since
become the state of Kansas and to
give them funds to establish them-
selves in their homes. Less than 400
Indians, however,moved, and after the
lapse of several years the land in Kan-
sas was given over to white settle-
ment.

Chicago, Nov. 19.—At the meeting of
the Chicago Labor Congress last even-
ing, Delegate F. G. liopps introduced
a resolution portesting against the pro-
posed reading of the IJiblc in public
schools on the ground that the schools
should be devoted to the teach-
ing of economic principles and
practical life, leaving matters of
religion to the choice of the individual.
He urgc l that instead of Bible pas-
sages the school board should cause
"Choice selections from writers on
trade unionism" to be read to the
pupils. The resolution was adopted
with little opposition.

\ s x- our Ditjr for lirieklayer*.
Chicago, Nov. 19. —Chicago brick-
layers have decided to ask for a six-
hour day when the present agreement
with the Master Masons' association
shall expire next spring. It is not be-
lieved that a strike will result from
the effort to reduce the working day.
There arc no non-union bricklayers in
Chicago, and it is said that there are
few employers who would care to en-
gage them if there were.
WKBTJSUN UNION BE \ I EN.
The Federal Supreme Court Overthrow* It*
1' ii i on Pacific Kxelunlve < Iul inn.
Washington, Nov. 19.—The United
States supreme court in an opinion by
Justice Harlan held in effect that the
Union Pacific Railway Co. had no right
to make a lease practically giving to
the Western Union Telegraph Co. an
exclusive right to maintain telegraph
lines along its route. The court by its
decision reversed the judgment of the
circuit court of appeals and af-
firms that of the circuit court
for tlie Nebraska district. The de-
cision holds that the United States has
n right to maintain a bill in equity to
compel the Union Pacific to maintain
its own lines of telegraph along its
railroad routes and that the obligation
imposed upon the railroad company to
do this was as strong as its obligations
to maintain the railroad tracks.

Kansas City, Mo.. Nov. 19.—Shortly
after 2 o'clock to-day *Mrs. Marshal
Khart, who for two years has been liv-
ing with her daughter, Mrs. Clifford

ing old clothing on the floor,
set the heap on fire. Then she
stood over the llames until her cloth-
ing caught fire. The flames quickly
enveloped her body, almost completely
burning her clothing from her body.
She fell forward in the fire and died
partly from suffocation and partly
from the burns.
I'he lVtbut Divorce Suit.
M n.w.w !vi:r., Nov. 19.—There is a re-
port here that is generally believed
that the Pabst divorce suit will be set-
tled out of court. The sticking point
is the amount of alimony which Mrs.
Vabst (Margaret Mather, the actress,)
is asking. It is believed that young
Pabst's father is trying to bring about
t? j a settlement without invoking the
,i< courts and stirring up more scandal
i!' than lias already been raised.

Wichita, Kan., Nov. 19.—Early this
morning John Carter, a driver, who
lives on South Lawrence avenue, on
going to his barn found in the alley in
the rear the dead body of Henry N.
Leonard, a second hand goods dealer,
aged 00 years, lying in a pool of
blood. There were many wounds
on the head, made apparently
with some blunt, heavy instru-
ment and a knife wound in the
back. The body was partially cov-
ered with straw and a trail of blood
showed that it had been dragged
along the alley for over a block. The
coroner and detectives were notified
and traced the path where the
body had been dragged until it
led to the house where Leon-
ard had been living, 435 South
Lawrence street, through the stable
and tip to the kitchen door. The ofli-
cers found Mrs. Leonard and her sou,
Orville Williamson, mopping up the
blood which was spattered over the
floor and furniture. Both were arrest
ed and lodged in jail.

New Yokk, Nov. 19.—The annual re-
port of Commissioner of Immigration
Senner for the fiscal year ended Juno
30, 1895, recommends that the inspec-
tion of immigrants be extended to
cabin passengers and to all vessels
coming from foreign ports without ex-
ception. The total number of steerage
passengers landed at this port during
1894-95 was 210,72-1, which was only 14,-
987 less than the total number landed
during the previous year, but the de-

The Anglo-American association has

Foht Scott, Kan., Nov. 19. -About
noon to-day Dr. A. O. Corey, a practic-
ing dentist, called his daughter,
Cora, a beautiful young girl of 17,
into his oflicc and attempted a
brutal assault on her, but she es-
caped and ran down stairs into thc
millinery store. He pursued her and
tried to force her to return to
his room, but bystanders interfered.
He threatened to shoot any one
who spoke to her and returned
to his room hurriedly as if to get a
revolver. A messenger was dispatched
for an officer and when Chief of Police
Robcrson arrived thc doctor was still
up stairs. When the officer went to
arrest him Corey jumped out of a rear
window, evidently intending to land
on a stairway that ran down the out-1
bide of the building, but he went)
over thc banister and fell to the j
ground on his head and was killed in-1

He had never shown any signs of in- |

ANOTHER HON D ISSUE.
Itepoi t That < loveland tlaft Decided Not t<
Wait, for ( ongressional Action.
Nkw York, Nov. 19.—The Journal
says: President Cleveland has decided
that lie will not wait for action by
congress before making another issue
of bonds. The Washington authorities
are already in eorrespndcnce with thc
New York bankers relative to thc
issue and it is probable that the bank-
ers will accept their proposition.
Here is the proposition: When the
gold reserve falls to $75,000,000
the banks shall deposit $25,000,006
worth of gold in the sub-treas-
ury and take in return 4 per cent,
bonds on a 3 per cent, basis. The de-
cline of the gold reserve to a danger
point last spring forced the govern-
ment to pay 3% per cent, for the gold
procured from the Belmont-Morgan
syndicate. Credit has been re-estab-
lished by that operation and the ad-
ministration hopes to take advantage
of the greater confidence prevailing to
secure the gold at the low rate of 3 pei
