Los AsotLig, Cal. Judge Ross has
handed down an opinion in the case of
the United State, vs. the Southern Pa
cific Company, which case involved the
litigation of over 700,000 acres of land
situated in -Ventura and Los Angeles
counties, which the (Southern 1'auitlo
claimed on the failure of the Atlantic
and Paciflo road to build its road from
the Colorado river to the Pacific Coast.
Judge Ross held that, while the evidence
showed that the Atlantic and, Pacific
road did not construct its road or file a
plat of it. line, it did not follow that
Congress intended that by reason of this
failure all of the land granted to it
should be conditionally forfeited to the
Southern Pacific Company. Judge Ross
held also that, although there was no
definite line of the Atlantic and Paciflo
road outlined, it had by filing an inten
tion of doing It come under the recent
decisions of the Supreme Court In this
instance. He declared the 700,000 acres
belongs to the government.

It is expected that the channel will be
widened and deepened by the vast

he was eating hi. lunch. " What do I

the hog should have been stuck long ago,
Yon don't see any mourning band around

tee any if the whole brood of autocratic
hogs were butchered, all in a heap. They

such a life. The Czar," be added, "well.

" yon are not your own masters I know.

Kyle of Mississippi is evidently not
accustomed to neartng discussions in

money, in the Mississippi Legislature

called reckless extravagance. Conse

at the manner in which the Representa

House was considering an appropriation
bill carrying a big sum of money for sub
sidy to a Southern railroad for carrying
the mail on a fast train, he turned toone
of his colleagues and drawled out in his
dry way: "Golly, these fellers talk

The amended sugar schedule, which
will probably be ottered when the tariff
bill is taken up in the Senate, has been
nut in shape by Jones. It was accepted
by all to whom it was shown except
Blanchard. Tbeamendmentas prepared
changes the date when the sugar sched
ule shall go into effect from the 1st of
January to the time of the passage of
the bill, and provides for a continuation
of a part of the bounty for the present
year, giving nine-tenths of a cent bounty
per pound on sngar testing above w) de
grees by the polariscope and eight-tenths
on sugar testing below 00 degrees and
above 80 degrees. The Secretary of the
Treasury is also authorized to refrain
from imposing the additional duty of
one-tenth of a cent on sugar imported
from countries paying an export bounty
where it was demonstrated to his satis
faction the producer has not received
the bounty.
In coast and geodetic survey circle, on

The President has informed several
visitors recently that the delay by the
Senate in voting on the final passage of
the tariff bill seems to have been unnec
essary, and that the bill should have
been eent over to the House certainly by
the middle of June. The recent invea
tiiratinn of the anear scandal, he be
lieves, has in a measure prevented prompt
action, and now that there is every indi
cation that the bill will be reported to the
Senate and passed without lurtner ae
lav, he thinks that the House Ways and
Means Committee, to which the measure
will be referred on reaching the

conference committee. It is understood

Senator White expect, to call np after
the passage of the tariff bill his measure
providing for the payment of the civil
war claims of California, Oregon and
Nevada. By the terms of the bill Cali

having legitimate claims against the

has done considerable work in pushing
this claim, which he has undertaken,
among several others of a similar nature
on behalf of different Paciflo Coast
States. This work has been done under

claims it is held that his contract no

Versailles. The National Congress
to elect a President of the French Re
public for the full term of seven years
met at the palace. M. Challemel Lacour
announced the death of Carnot, sm& de
clared the Congress open. M. Michelin
(Socialist) at once sprang to hi. feet and
shouted: "I demand the suppression
of the Presidency of the Republic!" A
tumultuous scene ensued, the uproar
being so great that the President could
not make himself heard. Socialist cries
I of "Vive la revolution I" could be heard
all over the ball. Order was finally re
stored, and the balloting began amid
considerable discussion between the Sen
ator, and Deputies. No speeches were
made. The members of the National
Assembly deposited their ballots in the
urn, and the tellers took the urn to the
committee room, after which the tellers
reported the result of the vote to the
President of the Assembly, whereupon
Challemel Lacour said : " M. Casimir-

congratulations of the correspondents of

England seemed to have the monopoly.
that Europe has united in saying to
England: " Go no farther. Yon have
no right to trample under foot the inter

try and discover whether this result was
obtained by the energetic action of
France or through family ties existing
between the German Emperor and Oueen

THE PORTLAND MARKETS.

Foreign markets, which for the past
two or three week, showed some strength
ening signs, have again fallen back to
their former level, and quotation, are
hovering about the low-water mark.
The local situation i. not affected by the
light fluctuation, on the other aide, aa
there is practically no market here at
present. Walla Walla wheat for export '
is .till worth about 76c per cental, with
none being exported. Valley wheat ia
quoted nominally at 77c. So far as
can be learned but little forward busi
ness i. being transacted in grain or
freights. The first ship of the new sea
son is at hand, bat she is disengaged.

conditions throughout the State are on '
the whole considered very good. The.
grain aphis which has made its appear-
ance in the valley threatens damage,
but as vet has done none. The pest is
confined to a comparatively small
section in the central Willamette Valley,
and has not been reported in any part of
the Inland Empire.
