Following the recent discussion in
iTnluh fnnrnals of the relative merits
of English and American locomotives, it
is suggested that during the World'a
Fair a contest bs had to settle the ques
tion. It is proposed that two or more
crack English locomotives, with F.nglish
crews, make the run from New York to
Uhicago over one of the main railroad
lines, and that the same number of the
beat locomotives of American manufact
ure do the aame, and that the results be
compared.
Nahum Barnett. an architect of Mel
bourne, haa under consideration a prot
ect to arrange for a visit of a party of
Australian artisans to the World's Fair.
The selection will be made from young
workingmen, probably those in the last
year of their apprenticeship, and it is
considered that the inspection of the new
modes 01 banning adopted in the large
cities of the United Statea and of new
inventions in connection with the sci
ence of building as shown at the fair
will prove of immense advantage to the
men.

It Will Perhaps Be Some Time Before
the Klamath Indian Reservation
is Opened to Settlement
Colonel Hev wood, commanding the
marine corps, has accepted the resigna
tion of Sousa, the leader of the Marine
Band, with extreme regret. The Colonel
states that, knowing the inducements
that have been effered Sousa to leave,
the latter could hardly have acted other
wise. Secretary Tracy will give the name of
Brooklyn to the new armored cruiser re
cently aathorized by Congress. This
vessel will be very similar to the New
York. The bureau of construction ia al
ready at work upon the plans for the
Brooklyn and the additional battle eh p,
and it is expected that appropriations
will be made next winter for their con
struction. Representative Hermann says that ho
expects it will be some time before the
Klamath Indian reservation will bo
opeo'd to settlement. The preliminary
steps are now being taken. The land
must first be surveyed, and then the In
dians are given six months to maketbetr
selections of allotments; and the land
will then be thrown open to settlement
under the homestead laws only. Ail but
the mountainous regions will be sur
veyed, and the unsurveyed portion will
be set apart for all the Indians. The
ceded Ianda in the Colville Indian reser
vation will not be opened until that por
tion wanted by the Indians ia surveyed
and their allotments made. The lands
will then be disposed of under the land
laws of the United States, which means
nnder the homestead, mineral, desert
land and Paciflo Coast timber-land laws.
Any person who has ever perfected hia
homestead right will not be entitled to
enter nnder the law ; but, if it has never
been perfected, he may enter 16J acres
of land and prove up after residing four
teen months upon the tract. Ths home
stead aettier must pay (1.50 an acre for
the land, and must make it within five
5 ears of the time the entry was made,
one of the ceded lands will be disposed
of at public auction. The Indians must
make their allotment selections from the
surveyed lands. It is the intention to
survey only the agricultural lands first.
Then the President's proclamation will
be issued, and the Indian selections must
be made within six months after the
proclamation haa been issued, ' after
which the white men will have a chance, .
Whit men may select lands, but during'
the first six month the Indian tan re
move hint.
