The death of William Reiger, of North Judson, formerly cashier of the Bank of Winamac, In tho Cook County Hospital at Chicago on June z3, has excited more than the usual interest here, Mr. Relger's former home, at his home in North Judson and at Valparaiso, where he held his Knight Templar membership, owing to the fact that several hundred dollars worth of personal property which Mr. Reiger Is known to have had in his posscrsion when he went to Chicago has disappeared, and no one has been able to secure any trace of it.

blnation of the bituminous- coal Interests north of Tennessee and east of the MississippiPresident Talley. of the Indiana Operators" Association, fays that if J. Plerpont Morgan Is engineering such a combination he would know of it. and that he does not know of any purpose of tangible form to effect the larger consolidation of the mining industry. Mr. Talley. like other large operators, has believed for some time that eventually the coal Industry of the States which sell In the competitive Chicago and Northwest market would come under one control, but at present the industry is Jn too varied hands and interests to make practicable the transferring of It to a big trust company. As a matter of fact, he says, even the plan to unify the ownership of th Indiana mines is proving to be a more difficult task than the general public supposes. President Talley says there has been a good deal of unnecessary and Ignorant comment on the proposed consolidated company, and that Instead of the project curtailing thf State's industry, it will likely increase Jt. The operators say that the fact that the output is in one ownership will not necessarily cause an advance in the selling price, but that the economy will be in the management of the mines and the distribution of the product. 1VIXOXA LAKE ASSISI II LY.

NOW FULL OF "SOONERS"

KIOWA - COMANCHE ItESEU VATIO INVADED BY .MANY PERSON'S. Creeks Pleased at the Prospeet of Sellins Their Lund Persons Who Muy Not Enter Homestead. EL RENO. O. T.. July S. Judge Kirkpatrlck, special allotting agent of the Kiowa-Comanche Indian reservation, said today that Caddo county Is full of "sooners" and that trouble Is likely to occur, notwithstanding the county Is to be opened by lottery and not by run. Two troops of cavalry, one each from Fort Reno and Fort Sill, have been ordered to these posts, and are expected to arrive at their destination on Wednesday. GUTHRIE. O. T.. July S.-There is general dissatisfaction over the President's proclamation providing for the opening of the Indian lands. The regulation compelling all the applicants to register at Fort Sill or El Reno will, it is believed, cause much suffering. The railroad Is still a number of miles from Fort Sill, and it will be out of the question for many to go there, except those who drive or ride. It will be impossible for the city of El Reno to care for the great crowd drawn there, and people will be compelled to stand In line for days, unless they come prepared to camp out. Only sixteen days are allowed for registering, which will necessitate the registration of two or more thousand per day at Li Reno, which is claimed to be impossible, even with four times the number of clerks provided. It is also declared by every one familiar with land office work that it will be Impossible to complete the filing in sixty days. MUSKOGEE. I. T., July S.

PLACE TOR EVANS. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAG ISA has just reached Washington, 'ane suujtL-i is of vast importance to the State and War departments, as some of the most trouble-some and weighty problems now confronting them arise from claims of various concessionaires In the Philippines, I'orto - Rico and : Cuba. Claims of -vast amounts, based on telegraph and railroad franchises granted by the Spanish government prior to the Spanish-American war, have been made, and Great Britain's course may establish a valuable precedent. Moreovei, the most important of the concessions in our insular possessions and in Cuba are claimed by English corporations. The issue was made last September, when Sir Alfred Milner, the British high com missioner, promulgated an order giving notice that the British government reserved the right to decline to recognize or to modify any concession made by the late South African Republic "without proper legal authority, or contrary to lav, or the conditions of which have not been duly complied with, or which appears to affect prejudicially the interest of the republic." This last clause was of the most sweeping character and the British government appointed a commission to pass on the whole subject. This commission has made an exhaustive report, set out In the blue book. One interesting statement In the beginning is this: "On the 1st of September, l'M her late Majesty annexed the territories and obliterated the sovereignty of the South African republic. It is clear that a state which has annexed another Is not legally bound by any contracts made by the state which has caused to exist, and that no court of law has jurisdiction to enforce such contracts if the annexing state refuses to recognize them." The commission also asserts the right to "examine whether the rights which it is asked to recognize have, in fact, leen duly acquired," a point of Interest in the Cuban cable controversy. It accepts Sir Alfred MUner's most important suggestion in the declaration that the new government is Justified in canceling or modifying a concession when "the maintenance of the concession is injurious to the public interest." MAY REFUND DUTIES. Controller TrncewelPs Decision in n Porto It lean Case. WASHINGTON, July S.-Mr. Tracewell, the controller of the treasury, has decided that the secretary has authority under the law to refund to Lascelles & Co., of New York, the duties paid by them on sugar Imported from Porto Rico between the date the treaty of Paris took effect and the date of the approval of the Foraker act. The duties so paid amounted to over $170,000. This decision Is based on the recent insular decisions of the Supreme Court Other claims are on file for refunds amounting to about $1,500,000. The controller discusses at length the question of authority for refunding duties that have been collected. In this connec tion reference is made to the act of Con gress of March 3, 1873. empowering the sec retary of the treasury to refund duties un der certain conditions, namely: (1) Under a judgment of a circuit or district court. collected in accordance with any decision or ruling or direction previously made by him, or (2) under a special appropriation, or (3) where collected under an erroneous view of facts. The controller then says: "It Is sufficient, to comply with the very letter of this law, that the duties be collected as Import duties. These duties were so collected, whether in truth or In fact they were im port duties or these sugars were Imported articles, and. as before stated, under your directions. At the time of their exaction as import duties it was claimed by the government in good faith that these sugars were imported merchandise and subject to duties as such. This contention wa denied by the claimants, and they paid these duties pro testing that their exaction was Illegal. Does it now lie in the mouth of the government, after its contention then made, and under which it exacted these duties, to say to these claimants: 'I admit I was mis taken, but because I was wrong and you were right I will now Insist that I will not right the wrong thus perpetrated on you because you paid the duties on non-im portable articles, upon which I have no right to exact import duties. The law of refund only applies to duties paid on lm ports. These duties not having been pa la on imported goods, you are .without the benefit of the remedy provided for refund where duties are wrongfully exacted on Imported articles.' That Is the reasoning of dishonesty. The government, in so far as it Is concerned, fixed the status oi Imported goods on these sugars and should not be heard to say that they are not Imported gOOdS." Cuba's Right to Create Debt. WASHINGTON. July S.-It was ascertained at the War Department to-day that

It Is rot the Intention of this government to Interfere In Cuba to the extent of preventing the payment of Cuban bonds should the new government of Cuba determine to assume the bonds issued by the former socalled government and junta. Under the Piatt amendment the amount of the Indebtedness Is limited by the provision that the new government shall not assume or contract any public debt which the ordinary revenues of the government will not pay the Interest upon, and also create a sinking fund to pay, after defraying the expenses cf the government. Under this clause the United States will determine when the debt, either contracted or assumed, has reached a limit.

Resignation of Consul General Stowe. WASHINGTON, July 8. The resignation of James G. Stowe, United States consul general at Cape Town, has been received at the State Department.
