Washington, June 6. The sec

dered an important decision in the
esse of the Northern Pa.ntio
against Johu dteveiM-on involving
Atra;ti4 Utrdhi Bolainan.Xa tiie

retary in effect ho ds as prima

when the grant to the Northern
Pacific company became effectual,
except tne lauld covered theie'n
from theurant; ali-o that prenu np
tion of the exigence of a pre-emp-tiou

The presumption arises thereafter
that whatever ciaim was presuma

of huch tiling has been abandoned.
This presumption, however, id not
exclusive, but s open to lebuttal
oy any one claiming a rijilit or in

important decision in the ex-parte
case of James W. Barry. The
secretary in this case holds that a

Who Will Find It.
In the year 1820, it is reported
that a Spanish tessel rami into
Xi'bttlem bay with a large amount
of treasures on bo mi -nsiftin.; of
i b 'ses of .-panisii money, each
tox lequir ng si.v uiea to move it,
and the total value was $1,5 W IKW
The caotain lieing a pirate and
closely purnued, put jnto Nehalem
bav, and tin I ng it a lonely place
agreed with his crew to bury the
money an I valuables on a certain
side of the river near win re a
small creek put in, and lietween
two certain trtej. They each
ngrepd with their captain by a
binding obligation that they would
never reveal the place where the
treasures were buried, with a pen
alty of their lives, unless all were
agreed, and to share the treasures
equally.
In the year 1852, one of the
survivors, whose lite was saved
by a man at that time livinir near
Portland, afterwards on a death
bed made the above confession
Some 70 years has passed away

A Meaaafre for tha Prealdeat Delia,
ared to tha Beaala,
Washington, June 6. In the
senate to-day McCall moved to re
consider the vole by which the
senate passed yesterday the bill
authorizing the construction of a
railway bridge across the Columoia
river near Vancouver. The motion
.re vailed.
The silver bill was then taken up
and Plumb addressed the senate.
Plumb occupied the time nf the
senate on the silver question until
a mesaage from the president relat
ing to the landing of an armed force
from the revenue cutter at Cedar
Keys, Florida, which was read and
referred to the committee on Judi
ciary. The president in bis mes
sage details the circumstances al
ready familiar to the pudi; and
adds: "It will be observed that
the United Mate., collector of cus
toms at Cedar Keys had been
driven from his office and from the
town, aad the administration of ihe
cusu ms laws of the United S atrs
at that port has been suspended by
the violent demonstration and
threats of one Cotteiell, mayor of
the place, assisted by his town
marshall. If it had been neces
s-iry, as I do not think it can be in
any case, for a United states oSicer
to appeal to the local authorities
for iinniuni'y from violence in the
exercise of he duties, the situation
at Cedar Keys did not sugeat or
encourage such an appeal.
The senate then adjourned.
In the. house the silver debate
was resumed this morning.
The hou-e com mi tee on post
offices bad under consideration to
day a bill to make 8 consecutive
hours a days work for postal clerks.
Postmaster General Waunatnaker
opposed the bill, insisting that it
provisions are impracticable.
At the evening aease a of the
house the silver debate was con
tinued and the house adjourned.

There is a quiet, pleasant-look

he "rowdy we-t" during tne
early days. He is Judge C D.
Favor of Albuquerque, . M. He
lett the tast and went to Albu

have progressive snooting paru s,
with a lynching f r a Biecial at

trust.
"The wild and wooly days have
passed away," -aid Judge Favor
one day, "and Albuquerque- is
quite a modern town. A few years
ago the society leaders began to
cut the acqua ntance of horse
thieves, ana since then we have
got along swimmingly. When I ,
rirt-t went on the ench dowa
there we had plenty of law bat no
justice. You could buy a jury for
t20 and a tallnot whisky, and it
was mighty difficult to convict a
bad mau. I'll never forget the
tirnt case I beard. Oue of the
worst Sout hwentern desperadoes
wan being tried before me for kill
ing a man. The prison r had
stolen whole herds of horr-es and
murdered more than one man, but
tne prosecution c uld not net any
evidence. It looked at one time
as if the man would go free, but
Providence made other arrange
ments. "After a four-days hearing the
jury went out and brought in a
verdict of not guilty. . I learned
their decision before it was driven
to me officially, and L also learned
tnat four of the jurats bd been
'fixed.' I was about to discbarge
the jury when we were disturbed
by a violent storm. A rtroke of
lightning knocked the shingles
from the Courthouse and the rain
poured into the room. 1 had just
said something about justice whin
he lightning iregan to fool aro ind.
Sudenly a dash came down the
chimney, skated up to the accused
left him a corpse aud then went
away through a crack in the floor.
It must haveg -ne tlnounhaoack,
for it let no marks in the room ex
cept the dead man. I bad been
in New Mexico lor five yeas, yet
that was the first time I had ever
' seen justice met d out in an Albu
querque courtroom."
