Only a few I'liilippine veterans were in line. "We will register this crod like a whirlwind," said the Comruls slonr Richard''. "Of course others will take their place as each train arrives, Lut, wo have to keep ahead of the crowd, or at least keep even. I am more than well pleased at the good arrangements fur landing the crowds, and at the orderly condi tion of everything. The opening Is a success In every way." "The rules and laws coqeefning these land distributions are very el5sU'-' and can be changed and re made without much trouble. And that is tbe way we will control all tbe people who have aoybing to do with this distribution. "Now, regarding the matter of contests. We bave that all anargrd. Of course, any one can tile a contest, but Instead of waiting for moaths the register aod recorder of the de partment will investigate and will give a decision within one day from tbe time of filing. It either party is not satisfied with this decision he must appeal to the secretary of the Interior within twenty-four hours, aod the answer will be back to Roncsteel within ten days from tbe date of contest. "Regarding town sites any ono can give notice that they wish to file on quarter section under tbe land laws. This appeal will bo in vestigated and a decision given be fore August 8, when tbe reservation Is formally opened. If an affirmative answer Is given the-rcg'jlar land laws will govern tbe making of tbe towr. "Here Is something I wish to say In particular. I wish to commend the people of Ronesteel for tbe good arrangements they have made for this registration, and for the good pilice force and tbo cheapness of everything. Ronesteel is wheie the people ought to come and It Is where they will come." "How many peoplo can your force register In a dayv" was asked Mr. Richards. "We can simply register everybody who comes, and there will be no delay whatever. Our clerks re all traiced and some of them can regis ter l,5t)0 per day each.

Over 700 Danish aod Norwegian emigrants bound for New York are believed to bave been diowned in tbe North Atlantic on June 23. Out of nearly Sou souls on board the Danish steamer Norge whicb left Copenhagen June 23 only twenty-seven are known to be alive, and for the rest no hope is held out. When last seen, tbe Norge was sinking where she struck oo the Islet of R( ckall. whose Isolated peak rises from a deadly Atlantic reef some 2'JO miles off the west coast of Scotland. Early on tbe morning of last Tues day the Norge, which was out of her course In heavy weather, ran onto the Rockall reef, wblch in the dis tance looked like a ship under full sail. The Norge was quickly backed off, but the heavy seas poured In thruigh a rent in ber bow. ibe emigrants, who were then a awaiting breakfast below ran on decK. Tbe hatchways were scarcely built for tluse hundreds of souls, and became clogged. The Norge quickly began to go down by the bead. Eight boats were lowered, and Into these the woman and children were hurrledy put. .Six of these b'ats smashed against tbe side cf the Norge and their helpless inmates were caught up by tbo heavy seas. Two boat loads got safely away from the side of the sinking 'hip,' and many of the emigrants who were left on Hoard, seizing life belts threw themselves, into the sea and were drowned. Captain Gundel, so say the survlvo's, st.jod cn the bridge until the vessel could ne seen no more. J he vessel foundered sud denly and some six hundred terrified people were thrown Into the water or drowned within the sinking ship. Those who could swim tried to reach the boats, but these were already too full, and their occupants beat oil the drowning-wretcbes with oars. Tbe boals kept together for some houis. Practically all of her occu pants were passengers, and were not used to handling such crafts The boat occupied by the survivors landed at Grimsby w:is a lifeboat. One account says that three boats were successfully launched, the other two holding about ten persons each. The life boat made faster progress and fell in with the Salvia. What became of the other buat is not yet known. Moyer My (live Surety. CRIPPLE CREEK, Co.l-Sberlfl Edward Bell took Charles II.

DENVER, Col. Justice Robert W. Steele of tbe state supreme court today riled bis opinion dissenting from tbe decision of the majority in refusing a writ of fjabeas corpus to Charles II. Moyer, president of tbe western federation of miners, held a military prisoner at Telluride ty order of Governor Peabody. The opinion, containing nearly 10,000 words, deals exhaustively with tbe situation created In this state by military rule and cites a mass of authorities to show that only tbe legislature can suspend tbe writ of habeas corpus. Justice Steele says In part: "No person who has the slightest claim to respectability should hesi tate to approve the action of the governor In enforcing the liw, and I am willing to uphold him and to applaud blrn so long as be keeps within the lines of tbe constitution. Iiut I am not willing to uphold him, when in my opinion be oieaks down the barriers erected by the people for their protection, nor am I will ing to accord to tbe constitution elastic properties for the purpose of sus'ainlng him. nor to Join in the establishment of a precedr rit which will not apply to other classe or other condition) when another gov ernor undertakes to exercise the same arbitrary power. "I am not willing to concede the power chimed by the governor and exercised by him, becaus", In my opinli n, such power Is not vested in him by the constitution. The people could never bave intended to ere-t such an engine of oppressions. "It folllows, of course, that if the present executive Is the sole Judge cf tbe conditions which can call Into action the military power of the government and can exercise, all mean necessary to effectually abate tbe conditions, and the Judicial de partment cannot inquire into the legilily of his acts, that the next governor may by his u'ase, exercise the same arbitrary power. i "If the military authority many deport the miners this year it can deport Ibe farmers next year. "If a strike, whicb is not a re bellion must be so regarded because the governor says it Is, then any condition must be regarded as a rebellion which the governor declares to be such, and if any condition must be regarded as a rebellion be cause tbe governor says so, then any county In tbe state may be dechred to bo in a state of rebellion, whether a reoelllon exists or not, and every citizen subjected to arbi trary arrest and detention at tbe will and pleasure of the bead of tne executive department. We may then with each succeeding change in the executive branch of the government have class arrayed against class, and interest against interest, and we shall depend for our liberty, not upon tbe constitution, but upon the grace and favor of tbe governor and his ruilltiry subordinates "In no other case presented In tftis court have principles so important and so far reachlog been Involved It was elaborately and ably argued, aod tbe position Z of counsel was clearly defined, yet tbe court has evaded the fundamental questions and has based Its decision upOD theories long ago determined by Jurists and statesmen to be illogical and false." Justice Steele then quotes bigb authorities to show that tbe con stitution makers never contemplated placing tbe power of suspending the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in the hands of tbe executive, and that the power Is exclusively vested In the legislative branch. "The authority Is so overwhel ming," continues the opinion, "that the position of the governor cannot be sustained that tbe power of suspending the privilege of tbe habeas corpus writ is legislative and nob executive; that martial law can only prevail In places where the civil law Is overthrown by force, and that It exists only sn long as it; Is necessary to reinstate the courts; that martial law cannot prevail where the courts are open and exer clsinr their functions; that the Judicial department will take notice Kills Himsell In His Office ST.

Tbe court would have sus tained tbe governor under tbe au tborities if It were possible to do so but finding it impossible to sustaii him under tbe authorities it hai sustained birp in spite of them. "But 1 believe tbat the constitu tion has been unnecessarily assailec and rudely violated by tbe head ol the executive department, and firmlj believe tbat this court has removed tbe landmarks whicb our fa than bave set, aod my duty requires mi to withhold my approval." "It is entirely probable," sayi Justice Steele in the course of bii comments oo tbe opinion of bis col leagues, Justices Gabbert and Camp bell, "that the act of the governoi in calling to bis aid tbe mllitar) arm of tbe government cannot bi questioned, but when it couies t( superseding tbe civil power and exer rising military law, to disobeying the writ of habeas corpus or othei process of tbe court, to detalniu citizens upon suspicion, then tht question of whether an insurrection exists is not to be determined b the governor's proclamation. "The court has not construed th consltutloo; it has ignored it, anc the result is tbat it has madr greater inroads on tbe constitutor, than it intended and said taht nol one of the guarantees to peisonal liberty can now be enforced. "Moyer may be gulty of the raosl heinous offenses. It may be thai he deserves to linger in prison thi remainder of bis natural life, but be Is entitled to bis liberty unless souk one, in proper form and before I proper tribunal, charges him with viol it ion of tbe law. "If one may be restrained of his liberty without charge being pre ferred against him, every othei guarantee of the constitution may b denied him. "The greatness of the county con. slsts in being able to protect, tj the shield of Is constitution tbe humble and exhalted, tbe pu e and tbe wicked. We gave tbe wretches, Gulteau, Prendergast and Czolgosi trials by due form of law, and by so doing we strengthened the natioD at home and abroad. Had we de pared from tbe principles declared, by our fathers, we should bav lessened tbe liberty of every citizen and imperiled the titled to al) posterity. "We cannot sow tbe dragons' teetl and harvest peacfi and repose; wt cannot sow the wind and gather thi restful calm. "Our fathers came here as exile, from a tyrant king. Tbe birthright of liberty was denied tbem by a horde of petty tyrants that infested, the lano, sent by the king to loot, to plunder and to oppress. Arbitrary arrests were made and ludges aspir ing to the smile of tbe prince re fused by 'pitiful evasions' the wrii of habeas corpus. Our people weri, banished, they were denied trial bj jury, they were deported for trial foi pretended offenses, and they finalh resolved to suffer wrong no more, and pledged their lives, their prop erty and their honor to secure tb blessing of lioeity for themselvet and for us, their children. Rut II the law is as this court has declared then our vaunted priceless heritagi is a shame and our fathers stood 'be tween their loved ones and tbe war'r desolation 'in vain.'
