Roopon Much Coal Land. Washington, March 13. President ltoosovolt will sign an order restoring to tho public domain practically 30,-1 000,000 acres of land recently with drawn as cortl land. Tho land was part of a withdrawal aggregating 04,000,000 acres. Since tho withdrawal experts of tho Geological survey have been engag ed in ascertaining tho coal bearing val ue of tho wilhrawn land and, while tho land to bo restored to entry Ib still classified as coal land, it is understood its value as Hiich does not warrant ex clusion from public entry. tho result of his work.

Williamson, ex-con gross man, Dr. Van Gesnor and Marion Ulggs havo mot with un adverse ruling from tho Circuit court of Appeals, sitting at San Fran cisco. Uy a decision handed down yes torday tlio Appollate court, confirmed tho conviction of Van Gesnor and liiggs, overruling the long writ of or rors that they had taken from the find ings of the lower tribunal. In the case of Williamson, tho uppeal was dismis sed for tho reason that a simFar appeal has been taken to the Supreme court of tho United States. Although through a technicality the appeal of Williamson is thus dismissed, tlio decision is us clearly a victory for tho government in his case as in tho cases of Van Gesner and Biggs. The ox-congresfman's appeal was taken upon exactly tiio tamo grounds as those of his co-cons pi ra tore. In their cases tho decision was absolutely ad verse, which is equivalent to an ad verse decision In tho Williamson ap peal, bo far us tho merits of tho caso aro concerned.

The secre tary of tho navy bus approved the re commendation of the naval wauo boaid in the case of the Mare Island navy yard at San Frunoisco nnd tho Paget Sound naval station, mo result, is a considerable increaso of tho ruto of pay of tho mechanics nnd laborers; bused on tlio fact Unit tho vast amount of re construction work nt San Francisco In- Llmltatlon on Destination of Immi grants Resented. Tokio, Mnrch 12. A qusction has arisen regarding the last clause of nrti- clo second of tho treaty between Japan and the United States, which has been cited by the government ut Wush ngton as authority for the statement that the Jupuneso government hitherto has been issuing passports limiting tho destina tion of emigrants. The paBsportB sim-, ply cortify to tho nationality of their holders nnd the placing of a restriction on them by an administrative moasure, 1b dtclared hero to bo unauthorized by law and an infringement of tlio personal right to travel guaranteed by tlio con stitution. In view, however, of tho nttitude of tho American government, in not call ing for tho enforcement of the clause mentioned, it iB thought that the limi tation bo placed will bo left unquestion ed. Even then Japanese jurists beliovo that the action of tho American govern ment in restricting tho destination of holders of paBsportB will not bo upheld beforo a court. Administrative action nnd litigation since tho San Francisco school trcublo havo brought tho clause into prominenco, nnd Japan ha9 begun to smart under the alleged humiliation. It would be no surprise should pressure be brought on tho government to have It abstain from issuing passports limit ing tho destination of thoir bearers. THIRD ERM TALK.

Tho prevailing opinion hero remains tliufc President Rooaovolfc personally will go ns far as ho can to prevent his own renornination, but will stop at nothing to assuro the nomina tion of a successor in accord with ins policies. Knther than seo thorn succumb, many believe that tho president himself, if properly approached, would take a re nomination, providing no other candi date satisfactory to himself and friends is stronc enough to unite tho next Re publican national convention.

Professor de Martens, Russian imperial councillor of state, who has been making n tour of the capitals of Europe for tho purpose of determining the program to be dis cussed at the next peace conference at The Hague, is expected back in St. Petoreburg this week. The introduction of any measures fo the limitation of armamente is regard ed hero as definitely excluded, because of tho attitude of Bevcral of the powers.

After they had worn these clothes a few days nearly all were suf fering with a rash covering their whole bodies, but still the prisoners did not. mutter. When a number of them had been infected with leprosy, one morn- ng all of Uio clothes, blankets and sheets were thrown out of the prison ers' cells and they declared unanimous- ; that they would go naked rather lan run the risk of contracting diseas es from wearing the prison garb.
