Jntcri'iting ICrpnrt on tho Subjrct llrml nt tho Aiitcrlt'jiti llintitiun AsHticlatiiin by Ilr. Lcillngnt-ll. Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 20. At to day's meotlng of tho American Humane Association Dr. Albert Ltlllngwell, of Cambridge, Mass., presented the report of a medical committee which for sev eral months has been engaged In sound ing public sentiment regarding vivisec tion. Over 1!,000 expressions of opinion Were obtained from leading physicians, teachers in medical colleges, authors, clergymen, college presidents and pro-feshur-i. Of these only about ono-elghtli wire in favor of unrestricted experi mentation upon living animals, a large maj.iiity being either for absolute pn bibliion or for such restriction by law as should limit vivisection to painless operations, or to those having a definite relation lo tho treatment of human nll-im-nls. A preponderance of sentiment appeared favorable to a statement of opinion which declared "that only a great and tlellnlte advantage to the In terests of humanity can justify vivi section at all," and which condemned as cruel and wrong tlio Infliction of torment, upon living animals, simply lo Illustrate well known physiological facts or as a method of research Into curious physiological phenomena which have no conceivable relation to the cure or treatment of disease. Among those taking this view were Herbert Spencer, of F.nglnnd; In. Ilralthwnlte, of Loudon; Dr. T. Galllard Thomas, of New York (and about half of all tho medical opin ions expressed), a largo number of clergymen, college presidents and pro fessors and cloven bishops of tho Epis copal church. About a fourth of all opinions given were In favor of abso lute prohibition of vivisection, among those taking such a view being Dr. Forbes Wlnslow, Dr. .lames Correttson, of Philadelphia, and Alfred Hussell Wallace, F.

To offset this revcreo the defense Rnlnfd only one point Din ndmlMdon ns an exhibit of the roll call book nt the college, in which Dur rani was recorded present nt the lecture given on the afternoon of April 3. The ptosecutlon holds the loll call liiok In lit tle esteem, from the fait that It will place witnesses on tho stand to prove that Uur rant frequently asked his elaKsmnten to answer to his nnmo when he was absent, and that they compiled with his request. The crush In the corridors at the en trance to tho court was greater to-day than upon any other day since the tilul begun. Men and women fought tor iidinlMlon, Willi" the Hherirr ulld 11 score of deputies ptruggUd as desperately to keep the crowd back. At times the confusion outside was so great that the proceedings of the court weie Interrupted. At length, Judgo Mur phy summoned the sheriff, and ordered him to clear tlf cnrrldom. If the sheriffs forcu was Instillleleiit, the Judge Mild, he would call on tho chief at police tor n squad of men to execute the order. Sergeant Reynolds, the police olllcer who conducted the search of lhnmaniiel church nfter tho discovery of the bodies of lllanrhe I.amont and Minnie Williams, was tho Ili'Ht witness called to the stand. Alter desiilbhig the furniture and other articles found In the pastor's study, he was asked about the chisel marks found In the door leading to tho belfry. The door and casing through which the muiderer passed with the body or his victim win- btought into court, and formed one of the most Inter esting exhibits produced. The witness tes tified Unit tho murks corresponded In size to a chisel found In a tool box In Hew John George Gibson's study. Tho witness was also asked to Identify 11 shoo suppoMd to have been stained with blood, which wns round In the pastor's study. As S r gcant Reynolds did not know to whom the shoe belonged. Seigeant llutke was called, but he was also In Ignorance with legard to the ownership of the shoe. Dr. W. F. Cheny. of Cooper Medical col lege, who was supposed to be the main stay ot the defense, was the next witness. He said the lecture on April :t began at 3M and lasted until l:t"i, at the close of which the roll was called. The witness did not know whether Durrnnt was present or not ns the roll was called by Dr. !. P. Gray. Dr. Cheny was temporarily excused and Dr. Grav summoned. Dr. Gray did not know whether Durrnnt was present or not, but assumed Hint he was from the fact that he was not marked absent on the roll call. Questioned with regard to the roll call book, the witnes admitted that the entry of April .". wns not an orig inal record, as It had been transferred from another page subsequent to that date for tho pnrpoMi of rectifying an error. On this ground the district attorney moved that the book be not admitted as an ex hibit, but the objection was overruled. Dr. Cheny was then recalled nnd reiterated his statement to the effect that lie had no recollection of seeing Dnrrant nt the lec ture given on the afternoon of April 3. At torney Donproy was plainly nettled at the conflict between what tho defense had promised Dr. Cheny would testify and what he really did say, so another effort was made to obtain a satisfactory nnswer. The witness was asked If In convermtlon with one ot the attorneys for the defen-e he had not satd that he believed that Dur rant was present ut the lecture. The court asked Deupn y If he was try ing to Impeach his own witness, nnd then sustained an objection Interposed by the prosecution, i On cross-examination District Attorney Itarnes trie. I to ihnw that students at the eollpge frequently had their clniimntes answer to their namei nt roll call when I hey were absent. Tlie witness was asked If In his experience as an Instructor at the college, ho had not become nwire of the existence of such a practice. The de fense objected to the question on account of iti sweeping nature. The court sus tained the objection, but Intimated thnt the question might be asked If made In proper form. Two or three more question of similar Import were asked, but objec tions were sustained in each case. Court adjourned until to-morrow mornlnc; with the cross-examination of Dr. Cheny still Incomplete. IMPORTANT LAND DECISION.

(Special ) Re tp tary Smith promulgat'd a veiy Important land decision to-d.iy, which concerns twen. ty-one elnltns In Oklahoma, mar HI Iteno. and about C0.1 claim In the Chi yt m.o and Arapahoe country. In doing po he rceres a decision mado by Secretary Xoble, but Is supported In doing so by legislation passed last congress. Tho decision glvis to Xeal Kaporson a claim near HI Iteno which had been tnken by Johanna Hnttser, daughter of the well known Amy Ilnuscr, of thnt country, under allotment piocoed. Ings mado under Secretary Noble. At that time twenty-mi.- allotments were mado to Cheyenne Indians, and, through a mistake, the land was tnken In original Oklahoma Instead of In the Chiyenne aid Arapahoe country. A later survey shmied that tlio allotments hud been made east of the line, but It was held by Secretary Noble that there was no law to declare the allotments Illegal. Later on the fame Indians were given allotments In the Ciev. enne and Arapahoe country, which they nNo held. Hy leasoii of dllllcuitles. In making allotments about r0 Indlins neio given double allotments In the Chevenne und Arapahoe country, nnd llieie was no law to correct the mistake. The l,it con gress passed a bill, Introduced by Deleg.ito 1'lynn, correcting tlio mistake, nnd the decision promulgated comes under that law. In all cases when- double all itments are made, the secretary decides that tin) allotment taken last is tho one that shall go to the Indian and the other shall be open "tor "set tlement under the general law. As all the double allotments are 1 overt d with homestead filings It will not he a dillleult mattir to dispose of the land bv awarding It to some one, a In the test case. Mr. Ksperon had the first tiling on the allotments taken from tho Indian and he was awarded the claim. The decision Is Important, ns it decides which claim, where double allotments are made, sha'l bo taken from the Indian. This will throw all the claims in original Oklahomn near HI Iteno to tho whites, and forco the In dians over Into th- Cheyenne and Arapa hoe country to their second allotments. Prominent citizens of HI Iteno have been trying to get it decision In this case for many months, hut owing to the absence of tho secretary In Georgia It was pot lMined until this lato day.

This, It seems, Is the usual method ot wanning powder. Hut In some manner It ex ploded and the concussion set off the remaining powder. This terrific shock caused dirt to block the stoin- and the men could not get out and six of them slowly smothered to death. As many volunteers as could be put to work began digging through tho mass of dirt, and In an hour had broken through nnd discovered the miners lying along tho two drifts. There were live in what is known as the Helglan drift, all dead, and four In the other, three of whom wero alive. The dead and Injured were rapidly taken to the surface and tho Injured wero removed to the hospital, it Is thought that all of the injured men will recover. The men killed, so far as known, wero all single. To-night crowds of people visited tho morgue to view the remains nnd tho crush was such that the doors had to be locked and only twenty-live people admitted at a time.
