MORE LAND DECISIONS
Interior Department Takes
Action Upon Appeals.
A NUMBER YYERK AFFIRMED
The Cate Ileelded Affect Traet of
Lund Located In Oregon, Waah
Ington and Idaho.
Washington, Oct 19. Secretary
Smith has affirmed the doision of the
commissioner of the geueral land office
in the case of Alfred 8. Thompson for
a tract of laud in the La Grande dis
triot The land office held that Thomp
son had abandoned the land and the
secretary approved his opinions.
In the cane of George W. Nelson
against W. C. Griswold, for a tract in
the Oregon City district, the secretary
affirms the decision of the commission
er awarding the land to Griswold.
The secretary has made several deci
sions affecting lunds in Washington.
Three decisions are in the Vanoonver
district In the case of Robert Mitch
ell, who appealed from the commis
sioner's decision, , the secretary has
affirmed the decision of the commis
sioner, rejecting Mitchell's application
because it conflicted with tie school
land grant The decision against
Adolphus Gaunt is also affirmed, be
cause it oonfliotB with indemnity seleo'
tions for school land grant It appears
this indemnity was for land which lies
across the Columbia river in Oregon,
and was lost to the state as school land.
Indemnity for this was selected by the
territory of Washington and the secre
tary holds that it belongs to the state.
In deciding this case he says that the
history, of federal legislation in re
spect to common school reservations
and grants, beginning with the ordi
nance of May 20, 1785, and running
to date, leaves no room for doubt that
under the law as it stood, July 81,
1863, the inhabitants present and pros
pective of the little fractional township
of 1,871 acres of land in Klickitat
county were entitled to have selected,
located and reserved 820 acres of land
near by, for the nse of themselves and
their successors to maintain public
schools. The small amount of land
granted is on account of the small,
fractional portion of the township
wbioh is out by the Columbia river.
In the oase of Charles A. Sohultz
against Joseph C. Morehead, in the
same distriot, the decision is in favor
of Sohultz. It was a timber culture
entry.
Three decisions are made in the Se
attle land district. Arthur B. Palm
er's application for a timber land entry
is rejeoted. In the oase of John Ham
ilton against Elmer Jewett, Hamil
ton's application for a review is de
nied, the land going to Jewett In the
case of Lawrenoe Gaffney against Mal
aohy Connolly, the appeal of Gaffney
is dismissed and the land awarded to
Connolly.
In the case of. David Ledgerwood
against the Northern Paciflo railroad,
the secretary holds that Ledgerwood
made entry erroneously upon lands be
longing to the Northern Paciflo, and
that he will be allowed to make an
other entry unon another tract This
land is in the Waterville land distriot.
In the case of William Coghlan
against Edward J. Young for a timber
claim in the North xaKima district,
the decision of the commissioner is
affirmed and the land awarded to
Young.
Seoretary Smith has decided quite
an interesting case in Lewiston, Idaho,
distriot, being that of Frank C. Davis
against Mrs. Georgie Fraser. He has
reversed the decision of the commis
sioner and given Mrs. Fraser the land.
It appears that there was something of
a race for the land. Davis father
wanted the land and held it until his
son became of age. His son, the con
testant, made his application before
the clerk of the court, but two days
before this application was transmitted
to the office at Lewiston Mrs. Fraser
had made her application, and the lo
cal officers rejeoted the application of
Davis. The latter secured a favorable
decision from the commissioner, but
the seoretary gallantly stood by the
lady's claim.

A Narrow-Gange Koad for Peru.
Lima, Peru. Oct 22. Vice-President
Billingburst advocates the imme
diate building of a railroad from Oro
aya to Perne, a distance of 100 miles,
the road to be a narrow-gauge. Eight
bridges will have to be built, but the
route is without any particular obsta
cle, and the production of the region is
increasing rapidly.
ENGLAND AGGRESSIVE.
Veneiuela I Arming Heraelf to Kelt
the UrltUh.
New York. Oct 21. That the Vene
zuelan question is-approaching an acute
stage, with possibilities of resistance
by the South American government to
British aggression, was signified by
disclosures made in New York today,
on the best of authority.
The government of Venezuela has
providod itself with modern armament
and arniB, and among other supplies
has ordered ten improved Maxim guns
from the British firm that manufacture
them. The order was not placed
through any firm, and the English
manufacturers, it is supposed do not
want the destination of the guns made
known. At the same time the syndi
cate of United States capitalists, which
has secured a concession in the Vene
zuelan gold lands claimed by Great
Britain, is preparing a trained force of
prospectors miners and workmen for
the field. William M. Bafford, counsel
for the Orinoco Company, the American
syndicate, made plain today the posi
tion assumed by the Orinoco Company.
He said:
"The company proposes to work its
concession without delay. It will send
prospectors along the line of the Imat
aca -mountains whose foothills are sup
posed to be rich with gold. That ter
ritory is of course in the company's
concession and has always been marked
so on the map. But now that there is
a prospect of gold there Great Britain 1
oluinis it The arrangements are being
made to send out men there to develop
the company's concession without any j
intent to start a controversy but to
aaaowt nnmnnna .....I.A., Tiaaiflda
assert the company's rights. Besides
the mines there are other properties in
the concession awaiting development
"Great Britain refers to the Schoin
bergh line but the fact is she has gone
beyond that This line is purely im
aginary. Sir Robert Schomborgh
visited Venezuela in 1840, and, start
ing at Point Barima merely drew a line
southward on the map. The Venezue
lan government has conclusive evidence
that he made no survey.
"In 1850 Great Briatin assorted it
had no intention to occupy or usurp the i
disputed territory. So matters went
until 1885. In that year rich gold i
fields yielding $4,000,000 a year were i
discovered west of the Sohombergh line
between the Guiana and Parana rivers.
They are known as the Barima gold
fields and are fifty or sixty miles west
of the Schombergh line.
"Nevertheless Great Britain prompt
ly stepped in and claimed that terri
tory and so she has gone on since,
claiming land wherever gold has been
discovered. The Orinoco Company
claims those gold fields as being in its
concession and proposes to stand up for
its perfectly clear title to them.
MORE REFORM NEEDED.
Charge Made A galnat San Franelseo'
Superintendent of Street.
San Francisco, Oct. 21. Thomas
Ashworth, superintendent of streets,
was today oharged by the grand jury
with corrupt and willful misconduct in
office. The foreman of the grand jury
handed the accusation to the district !
attorney late this afternoon. A oopy
has been served on Ashworth, and he
will be cited to appear and defend him
self in the superior court, wherein he
will be tried by a jury. Should the
accusation be sustained, the only oonrse

the jury in its investigation of the
affairs of the street department. Con
tractors, teamsters, property-owners
and inspectors were examined, and ser
ious charges were freely made. Of
this mass of evidence, there oame to
the jury a conviotion that the deputies
of Ashworth bad formed a ring of dis
honest contractors, who used cheap
material and prevented honest bidders
from having a chance in street work.
In the Coal Region.
Dubois, Pa., Oct. 22. Great anxiety
prevails tonight in the bituminous coal
region, on aoount of the strike situa
tion. The labor leaders are not certain
that the strike will be ordered, and if
not it will he useless for a portion of
the mines to remain idle. Dubois and
Reyuoldsville miners have been idle
for months. Beech Creek and Coal
Green men decided yesterday to sus
pend, but the whole affair hangs upon
the decision of the Rochester & Pitts
burg Coal & Iron Company's miners at
Puntxsutawney and the Berwind
White miners in the Honesdale re
gion. It tne tserwind wmte miners
quit work the strike will be general
throughout the Beech Creek, Hones-
dale, Punxsutawney and Dubois fields.
If they continue work it is the opinion
that the strike will be a failure at the
beginning.

LIFE FOR THE OLD LINE.
I'Un of KeorgMiiUation of the Union
rlllo Hallway.
New York, Oct 19. A synopsis of
the plan of reorganization of the Un
ion Paciflo railway was announced this
afternoon. It places the miloage affect
ed by the reorganization at 1,827 miles
of main lina Balances due on out
standing land and town contracts, De
cember 81, 1894 were 0,102,751,
and unsold land-grant lands, includ
ing those under contract, amounted to
6,624,000 acres, of an estimated value
of $13,858,600. The total funded
debt is placed at $140,425,862. The
fixed charges and deductions from net
earnings, inoluding interest on bonds,
sinking fund and government require
ments, are stated in the pamphlet for a
period of five years, the average fixed
charges being $6,802,001. This, it
will show, is exclusive of the excess of
the interest on the debt to the govern
ment, oaver the net earnings applica
ble under the Thurman and other acts;
of interest on bonds, held on the main
line mortgage trusts, under conversion
provisions, and of the obligations of
the railway company under tariff guar
antees. Including those items, the
fixed and other charges prior to the
stock of the year 1892, being the year
just preceding the receivership, aggre
gated the sum of $7,881,475, or greater
by $881,476 than the amount necessary
to pay the annual interest upon the
maximum mortgage debt, and full an
nual dividends on the minimum issue
of preferred stock contemplated in the
reorganization plan.
The pamphlet shows the annual net
i earnings for ten years, 1885 to 1894,
v.nl .. uj ..n .l-nw. 7 F". 11 Q ft HO n an
inclusive, were $7,563,669, or an
amount greater by $503,669 than the
maximum interest and dividend re
quirements upon the new bonds and
preferred stock provided for by the
plan. The lowest net earnings realized
were those of the year 1894, when they
were $4,816,077 in excess of interest
on the maximum amount of the pro
posed bonds of the new company. .
The plan contemplates the issue of
$100,000,000 of first mortgage railway
and land-grant fifty-year 4 per oent
guaranteed bonds; $76,000,000 of 4 per
cent preferred stock, and $61,000,000
of common stock. The new bonds are
to be secured by a first and only lien
upon the main line mileage oi tne
Union Pacific railway, equipment,
land-grant lands and land-grant bal
ances, and upon such branch lines of
the railway as the committee shall
avail itself of through the ownership
in mortgage trust' of the branch line
bonds.
The preferred stock is to be entitled
to 4 per cent noncumulative dividends,
payable out of net or surplus earnings,
before the payment of any dividend on
the common stock. The stock of the
present company will be assessed $15
per share, the holders receiving new
preferred stock, equal at par to their
present holdings.

Washington, Oct 18. It is expected
that the Western members of congress
will make an effort during the coming
session of congress to secure some
amendments to the law regulating the
timber reserves. It is generally con
sidered that more protection should be
afforded the forests of the oouutrv, but
just now it is very difficult to protect
timber, not only from the depredations
of thieves, but fire, the latter being

would meet the prosout exigencies and
be a step in the right direction, but
in the senate the bill was out to pieces
and so cbauged that no one could tell

may come together upon this mutter in
the next oongress.
It is generally conceded that national
parks shall be established where the
most pioturesque spots have been re
served. The great reservation in Ore
gon, including the Cascade range,
Mount Hood and Crater lake, are points
wbioh should be preserved in all thoir I
native wildness and glory. An effort
to create a great national park of the
greater part of this reservation should
not meet with any amount of opposi
tion. Once it is made a park the gov
ernment will protect it as it does the
Yellowstone Park.

move to nave tne Paoino lorest reserve

and is said to be worthy being made
into a great park.
"Fit!" Doem't Like the Change.
Corpus Christi, Tex., Oct 18. Mar
tin Julian leaves here in tne morning
for New Orleans, whenoe he will go to
Hot Springs, fully prepared to carry
out Fitzsiinmons' part of the agree'
ment with the Florida Athletio Club.
Both be and Fitzsimmons are muoh
surprised at the statement in Tues
day's papers of the change in the or
iuinal agreement to a sparring exhi
bition with soft gloves. He indignant
ly denies that Fitzsimmons would en
sage in any such, exhibition. Fitz
simmons said:
"The proposed change oi rules fs a
fake. Suoh a show would not . be of
any credit to either of us. ' They ' are
just using us to let the Florida Athletio

The Prairie Fire.
Topeka, Oct 22. During the past
four days destructive prairie fires have
swept over parts of four counties in
Western Kansas and a large scope of
oountry in Eastern Colorado. The fire,
which has caused much damage, start
ed in the western part of Finney coun
ty, and spread to Greely county, burn
ing over a strip of oountry four miles
in width, over 200,000 acres in all. A
great deal of grain, broom corn, bush
and forage were destroyed, together
with barns, hay in the stack and out
buildings. In the northern part of Finney coun
ty much damage was also done. In
Wiohita county another fire started
near Halcyon, and oovered a territory
three miles wide by seven miles long.
Four bouses were destroyed, and' many
haystacks and grain racks ruinedi .
A ew Departure. ' ;i
Tacoma, Oct 19. The halibut fish
ing fleet of schooners sailing out of Ta
coma will make a new departure this
season. Instead of returning from the
Northern banks at intervals of a few
weeks, thus losing valuable time, they
will go north to remain three or four
months at a time, and will ship their
fish south from Juneau or North ports
in ice by tbe steamship City of Topeka
or Willapa. In this manner it is ex
pected a much larger number of fish
can be caught during the season than
under the former system. The halibut
on its arrival here will, as usual, be
forwarded East in refrigerator cars.
All the larger schooners are being fitted
out for a long season's work in the
North. Tbe schooners Caroline and
Pilot have already departed. They
will be absent at least three months.
