The department1 of the interior has held "vacant lands to settlement" to mean, if necessary, all uusurveyed lands. Therefore, settlers Of equattOU ou uusurveyed lauds have Ihii very un easy for some time, and many of them felt that there is little prospect of hold bag their claims. The land dertment ol the railroad company, however, asserts that it is not its purpose to take the lauds of any bona tid settler. At the same time the department of the interior encourages the settler to continue their settlement, and within .hree monthl after the acceptance ol the official survey of their lauds to as sert their claims thereto. The ruling of the department is that the party first initiating the right of settlement has the prior claim. Congressman Jones, of Washington, who has just introduced a relief bill on behalf of settlers, is of the opinion that moat settlers would not think of lighting the railroad company, and, therefore, the law as it was cuuetod does grave injustice to settlers, as a rule. Iu an interview Mr. Jones said: "It has been repeatedly inserted that lands upon which there are settl.-rs have been filed ou by the railroad com pany under the present law. To pre vent thi is oue of the objects of the Uw. I know that settlers have their Nmedr , That is to light the claim of the compnny and establish their prior right. This is expensive. The set tlers are not wealthy. The BTOIpOCt of delay is diaOOUraging, and many prate to abandon tluir settlements rather than bear the expense and delay of a contest. "Tho railroad cannot complain at these provisions. If its claim to a tract of laud is just it will prevail. Delay ami expense cannot hurt it as they do the settler. All it has to do is to in spect tho laud. If it llu.ls a settler and does not think he is there bona tide it can contest his claim as any other contestant, but it should lH"ar the bur den of such contest. These bills are introduced without any hostility to the railroad, but out of a desire to do jus tice to the settler. I believe the gov ernment should bo quite lenient with men who nre striving to reclaim the public domain, esecially nowjwhen the choice land is taken up. If we had more owners of small tracts ol land we would be la tter off." Senator Foster and Representative Cushman have each given much atten tion to the claims of settlers and theii rights, and in all cases there is an uu qtutlifled sentiment favorable to th pioneer and homo-building sijuattei and settler. oTi.riiiiif.nt aplta at Vanmutrr, President Iteebo, of the Portland chamber of commerce, at its last meet ing, called attention to tho bill locating a permanent general hospital at Van couver, Wash., which has been intro duced in congress by Representatives Jones, of Washington. George Taylor, jr., said that the hospital was of great importance to Portland. "Vancouver's healthful location is well kuown," aaid Mr. Taylor. "Ileforo long, many sol diers will le returning from the Phil ippines, and Vancouver is the place for them." The trustees voted to request th Orvgn congressional delegation to. co-operate with the Washington dele gation in behalf ol the Vancouver hos pital. Statistics showing that Van couver is a healthier place than the Presidio will be sent to Washington tc help the bill along. Northwest Not. DtOOlhOed salmon aro reported very numerous iu Coos bay.

The dirty brow nish fogt that lie across the horizon above Belle Isle are, of course, the uu.t treacherous etiemy for the ocean liner. They conceal the other dangers, nml tho other dangers are neither few imr far apart What with Iceberg! niiigltig In size from a few hundred feet In circumference to inon Itera nine miles In length Ithe exact dl mcnilon of oue measured by the New foundland superintendent of llshcrlcs), with naked reck walls rising vertically 7' si feet out of the sea, with crumbled ledges whose saw tooth edge stands up In pinnacles or slopes down to a w Mte capped reef, aud with the submerged shoals of the Sable and Magdalene Isl and districts, the pilot has aa dlftlcutt a piece of water to nr.vlgate a could tie found. The perils nf Nova Scotlan wntem can be and have been lessened. Light houses now mark the most dangerous IHiluts, and long ago a stop was put to the nefarious work of the wreckers who plied successful depredations with Sable Island as a baall. Time was, within the memory of navigators still living, when false light above the sands of Sable Island lured passing ships to their ruin, and when the gov ernment cruiser would come to the ships' old not a thing would be found but the stripped hull. Though passen gers might have waded ashore In some places, the dead used to lx found strip p. -: of all clothing aud Jewels, with the ring linger cut off, and frequently the gash of a wrecker's weapon acrocs the forehead, signs plainly telling of a con flict between the passengers struggling ashore through beating surf and the murderous men who awaited them. But all this I a thing of the past on Sable Islaud. Not only were wreck era driven off, but live etock was placed on the long stretch of grnss grown sund, so that castaways could have some means of subsistence until help camci Hello Isle strait Is by far the most treacherous part of the North Atlantic route. The coast of Iaibrador projects Into the ocean like a barrier against the flinging tides; nufl when the baffled current finds resistance suddenly re moved, when tho narrow straits open between Newfoundland and Labrador, the water! toss In With the sidling mo tion that creates the beam sea so hate ful to all landsmen. The strength of this Inhuming current simply cannot bo calculated or counteracted by any mariner. In width the straits vary from nine to forty miles; and when the brownish fog never absent from the uorthorn horizon sprends southward, obscuring every landmark, It Is Im possible for any captain to keep up speed and retain his bearings. He may refer to his chart as often as he pleases aud tell himself, "Thus and thus have we come, and here Is tho place we are." Tide and fog may have betrayed him In spite of his calculations, and he may be at least a hundred miles out of his course. Baaldea the danger from fog nnd tide nt the entrance to the Gulf of St. Law rence, there Is the peril of long, sharp ledges that furrow all parts of the uorthorn coast and are only visible by the fretted line of surface spray. No lighthouses mark these hidden reefs, and many a schooner comes to grief upon them during the night or In a fog. F'alse Cape runs out from Newfound laud In great. Jagged, towering rocks, torn by the driving tide, and White Isl and lies off the shore baro and lonely as a tombstone. Afar, from other rocky Islands, come the dull booming of the surf, which Indian legend of Labrador describes as the shrieking of demon! over their prey. Bootless hot used as wind-breaks by the seal ers In the spring add to the Indescrib able loneliness of the tenantless const; and If some fisherman' dory come bounding over the waves Its sudden disappearance behind some rocky eml nenca only accentuates the utter drear iness of the whole region. New York Evening Post A TITIAN IN MEXICO. fndlan of a Hulned Citr Hefuae "(, OOO for a Muatcriilere. Here la a story alsmt a picture which hangs In the ruined Church of Tzln nntaan. Mexico, and which the Mexi can Herald asserts Is a genuine Titian. wlileh. though the average traveler k no wn nothing atsiut, has boon visited by artist from all part of the globe, who have made the Journey to Mexico solely for the purpose of seeing tills .anvas. Aud they have all declared that the picture was well worth tin; trip. The famoun picture hangs In one of the old ruined churches. The padre himself will iH.Int out the way ami stay with you While you are there. The entrance to the auditorium of the church Is through a long, dark corridor, that leads up to a great door, barred and chained and padlocked-tbat si-em- 1 to carrv vou back to the old feudal days ana make one think that the doors of some old CM tie were being opened to him. Tin- door otiens Into an Inner room as dark as ulght, the padre unfasten! a grati-d window, and a flood of golden sunlight comes from over the wcotern 1,111m lievond the lake and falls full up on the picture. Such coloring, such composition, such feeling as could only come from the hand or a master. 'Ira- lltl.,n aava It was nalntcd by Titian and presented to Philip of flpala. Eminent men. authors and painters agree with this version. An effort ha been mad I., lni the nalntine. and $50,000 wa offered by lite BUbop of Mexico, but th faithful, devoted Indians refuse. The picture !s an entombment, six teen fe.-t long by seven feet high Sur round. ng 'lie dead Cbi'lst. wrapped In a winding sheet, stands the Virgin. Mag dalen, St John and nine other figure all life s'ze. The picture's stile of pri ervatloo is narveloua, Mr than ''.00 years have lapsed sluce the great ruae ter touched it, and jet one is deluded Into the belief that It was painted hut yesterday, so freatb, pure and rich 1 It color. Tzlnzttntzan is easily reached by the Mexican Nation'. Railroad. It Is at the end of Moral la Branch of this road, which branches off the main Uni at Acambaro. Five hour from Acain baro the Indian town of PltUCUarO, on the lake of the Itffle name, the end of the branch. Is reached. Tzlnzutitzan Is almost directly across the lake from Pulzcunro. It can be readied by a horseback ride of two hours and a half, around the like, or more easily by tak ing one of the Indian canoe and being padd'.ed ucros. Rome time ago Nut Goodwin had an opiKirtunlty to witness a If Hampton' Imitations of himself In bis favorite roles. Hampton, knowing (loodwtn was present, outdid himself, but at the close of the seance Qoodwla had never a word to say. At last an Intlmnte friend ventured to ask how he liked It "Well," replied Goodwin, "all 1 can say Is, one of us Is d n bad." Kate Field used to take dally lessons In Latin from Walter Savage I an. tor, when she was In Florence, and at her entrance Into the room his rugged ex pression Invariably softened and he lo came what his pupil called "chivalry Incarnate." One day he dropped his siavtaeles, and as she picked them up and hau. I. -I them to him, he exclaiiuiMl, "Oh. this Is not the first time that you have caught my eyes." Prince Henry of Orleans when he travels takes with him a physician, a scientist an editor, n historian, and a photographer, each of whom makes a dally contribution to the 1 k which Is to deecribe the Journey.

"Tho hardest of all," said the Prince; "I have the overwhelming duty of making the various accounts agree." (ien. Jouhcrt when he was In New York City a few yenrs ago as the guest of Henry George, told with modesty (says the Sun) of his negotiations wlt the British at llajoba Hill, and tils oyet sparkled as he red tad his reply to tlu British common. lcr-ln-ohlef. "It doc!, not comiiort with these," said the Brit ish general, pointing to the decorations on his breast "to accede to your tent, a." To which said Jouhcrt, ixilntlng to his riflemen: "And It does not comport With those to offer any others." A colored mnn was before the United States court, In Philadelphia, recently, charged with some lufractlou of the law. He had no counsel, nml the Judge asslgueil Hampton L. Carson to defend him. The government by the testimony of several witnesses established a strong case against the defendant. Tho learned counsel for the prisoner said: "Now, Sambo! please take the wltuess staud and give your version of this af fair." The "man and brother" looked wise and quizzical, mid turning round for a moment said: "Boss! In these yeah circumstances, I guess It would be bettnh for me to remain neutral." "Bob" Palmer, tho comedlau, had licen originally a bill-sticker, a fact pretty geuernlly knowu among hie col leagues of tho stage. One evening, when dressed for the character of Sir Brilliant Fashion, he strutted Into the greenroom with buckles sparkling on his shoes and a flue diamond 011 his linger. A brother-actor Inquired If Ills gems wore real. "To be sure they are; I wear nothing but diamonds," was the reply; WhCftupOB Bannister remarked: "I congratulate you. Bob, for I remem ber when you WON nothing but paste." Palmer did uot take the Joke with be coming good humor, and an angry al tercation ensued, wlileh was only bro ken when Mrs. Jordan cried out: "Why don't you stick him against the wall, Bob? Htlck him against the wall!" A Detroit man, whose wife was go ing to sun Francisco on a visit accom panied her as far as Chicago and put her OB the overland train.
