MJST KEEP OFFICE HOURS.
A Land Decision of Importance Rendered by
Secretary of Interior.
Lewlston, Idaho, Aug. 22. Word
lias been received , from Washington
that tho secretary of tho interior has
reversed tho commissioner's decision
in tho caso of Robert J. Little vs. John
W. Bradbury.
This ia tho en bo in which it was ni
legod that Mr. Bradbury mndo and
filed a timber and etono entry In the
local land oillco after tho hour of clos
ing on tho 18th day of last January,
which, was Saturday. Monday morn
ing S. J. McFarland offered scrip ap
plication for tho ,samo land embraced
in Bradbury's entry; tho register of
tho local land office rejected tho scrip
application as boing in conflict with
the entry mado by Bradbury. From
tills action McFarland took an nppcal
to the commissioner, and filed affidavits
that Bradbury's application was ru
coived alter oillco hours.
Tho commissioner sustained tho ac
tion of tho register.
Commissioner Is Reversed.
An nppcal was taken to tho secretary
of thoi interior, who now rovurEi'H
tho rminlssionor and holds that tho
"general circular of July 11, 1800
(pago 233) under tho head of registers
and receivers, directs that: 'They
will bo in attendance at thIr offices,
keeping th Eamo open for tho transac
tion of business tromO a.m. till 4 p. in.
" 'Applications ior entry cannot bo
received by tho rcglstor or rocolver out
of oillco hours nor elsowhcro than nt
tholr office.'
"Whllothero is no statute forbidding
thorn so acting, there is no statute
authorizing theui to act. Tho regula
tions for tholr conduct not in contra
vention of statute havo all tho forco of
law. If it is optional witli local officers
to rCcoivo or decline applications, thero
is given opportunity for them to oxer
ciso favoritism and partiality, which
might lead to grave mischiefs, tho in
jury of many, and glvo occasion for
gravo scandals against the integrity of
tho land department."
The decision 1b an important ono,
in that it finally establishes tho rulo
that applications for entry of land
cannot be made out of oillco hours.
SOUTH AFRICAN BLACK8.
Upon The Ir Attitude Depends In Greet Measure
That Country's Future.
London, Aug, 22. Mall advices re
ceived from Johannesburg Indicate that
tho negro problem is growing moro
acuto and is causing tho authorities
inllnito worry. To quote tho words of
ono of tho foremost African authori
ties: "On the question of tho natives do
ponds tho wholo future of tho now
colonics whothor tho Boors will
loyally accept British rulo or continue
in a stato of sullen rosontmont.
Among tho I m media to dangers native
attacks on Boors returning to their
farms and attempts of tho natives to
assault white women aro threatening
serious conflicts botween Boers and
blacks. Under tho old regime tho
crude hut eimplo retribution ior
assaults on women was shooting on
sight. Now, however, thero is no
legislation on tho subject and tho Eng
lish authorities aro hosltati'ng to onact
laws until all parties concerned can
voice their opinions. Tho hesitancy to
deal summarily with the nativos is
causing both Boors and Africanders in
tense iiritation and encourages tho
blacks to truculent effrontury.
"Another phase of tho problem is
the unwillingness of tho blacks to fore
go tholr lazy existence in the concen
tration camps, where thousands wore
gathered during tho war, and far more
sorious is tho fact that a great number
of blacks in tho country havo managed
to Bocuro arms. There is, therefore,
tho anomalous situation of unarmed
whites and armed blacks living in
proximity on outlying farms. Experi
enced British colonials stiongly favor
universal disarmament of the natives
and prompt legislation making assaults
on women a capital offense."
BOER LEADERS AT UTRECHT.
Krugcr Said to Have Upbraided Generals for
Giving Up the War.
Utrecht, Holland, Aug. 22.-Tho
Boer generals, Botha, Dewet and Dola
rey, accompanied by Dr. Leyds and
Messrs. Fischer, Weasels, Wolmarnns
and Reitz and others, have arrived here
from Tho Hague to visit ex-President
Krugerand consult with him 911 the
South African situation. Larye crowds
warmly applauded tho Boer, The spec
tators at thu station sang tho Boor na
tional anthem. t
The conference lasted forthrco hours.
According to tomo reports It was rather
stormy. At the end of an hour aud a
half tho delegates withdrew, leaving
generals Bctha, Dewet and Delarey, to
gether with Mr. Kruger. Little is pub
licly knowas to what took place, hut
it is understood that the generals found
the ex-president of the Transvaal in
no way inclined to acquierce in British
dominion in South Africa and still
clinging to tho idea of a united Kouth
Africa under the Boer flag, Mr. Kroner
is even said to have bitterly upbraided
the generals for giving up Boer inde
pendence. Later in the day the gene
rals returned to the Hague.
