Jtfl lxchaiigc of Lands at End In
tlie Itescrvcs.
Washington, March 1G In the
opinion of many practicing lawyers,
members of congress and subordinate
afik'ialg of the laud department, the en
!ire lieu land law has been repealtd as
a.ucti by error as by intention, though
Shere is a distinct note of re'ief in all
the comments emanating from those in
touch with the pdministration, and
jeans of wy from the fae ion iu c-ngreKfl
and out of that body that is interested
:n ending that iu'olerable Vvs'em"
within a forest reserve, but the validity
of contracts entered into by the secre
tary of the interior prior to the passage
of this act shall not be impaired ; pro
vided, that selections heretofore made
in lieu of lands relinquished to the
United States may be perfected, and
patents issue therefor the same as
though this act had not been passed,
and if for any reason not the fault of the
party making the same any pending se
lection is held invalid another selection
for a like quantity of land may be made
in lieu thereof.
Like all laws affecting the public do
main, this new bit of legislation has
been referred to the interior department
for interpretation, and in a short time
a oircular will be issued fully setting
forth the purpose of the law and ex
plaining its meaning.
Because of the phraseology of one
line, there is a division of opinion as to
what the law really means, but every
one concedes that it does not merely re
strict lieu selections to non-timbered
lands.
In the opinion of most officials, the
law absolutely repeals the lieu I w and
puts an end to exchanges of lands with
in forest reserves for lands belonging to
th public domain. Thee officials take
the broad view. There are a few, how-
eyer, who maintain that the law will
only prohibit the making of liru selec
tions by persons whn have not secured
full title to lands within forest reserve?,
and that it will not have any effect up
on Ufa selections made by persons
whose title to lands in reserves is complete.

HIS HEAD FALLS.
General Kuropatkin Has Been
Blsinisaicd In Disgrace.
St. Petersburg, March 17. With the
Japinese hanging on the heels and
flanks of the remnants of the bn ken,
defeated Russian army, General Kuro
patkin, the old idol of the private
soMier, has been dismissed and dis
graced, and General Linievitch, com-
that hi led to the vact land swindles mander of the first army, is appointed
jerpetra'.ed uuder the o'd iieu land law.
On the part of the lobbies and other
interests w hich have fa'tened upon the
abu.-e - developed under f.nd by ti e iieu
land Uw, there ii a lel'cence that can
not be "fazed" further than to barely
cklok'de tho probahle fact of repeal.
It is rumored tha4. when the renate
iis:enger took a copy of the b 11 to the
White IIoue rffice tvat he nut the
president iu the yaid a rued with a new
steel pen ar.d s buttle of ink.
Appirently without intending to tin
f-j, congress as rc-pea'el the lieu land
Jaw in its entirety. In doin so, it has
srased from the fiL tute books the law
which h ih l.eeiv responsible for more
fraud tian any other public land
j'a'ute; it has put an end forever to a
system of exchanges by wh th the fed
sra! government has actually been
cheated out of millions of dollars worth
3i" valuable timber 1 md.
In the closing 1 ours of the last con
jyees, th? Bem?i passed a r ill that has
long ben on its calendar, intended to
restrict the heu selections to non-tim-bereJ
lands. It wn a bi'l that had pre-'ou-ly
been passed by the house, but
vhich had beea amended by the nenate
somoaittee. Because of this amend
3tent the bill was sent to conference,
and there it was again alterel until it
was amended out of shape and accom
plished a very different pnipose from
;Lat it did as it passed the house and
senate.
Although the bill retained its title,
An act prohibiting the selection of
limber lands in lieu cf lands in forest
reserves," its text was so cvang-d that
it not only prohibited the se'ection of
timber lands, but all lands in ex.hange
tor lands in forest reserves. As finally
.ed to in congress and signed by the
president, the law provides:
That the acts of June 4, 1817, June G,
1900, and March 3, 1901, are hereby re
pealed so far as they provide for the re
I auishment, selection and patenting
of lands in lieu of tracts covered by an
inperfected bona fide claim or patent
to succeed him iu command of all the
Russian land and sea forces operating
against Japan. The word "disgrace"
is written in large letters in th9 laconic
imperial order gazetted, which contains
not a word of praise, and also disposes
of the rumor that Kuropatkin had as-k
ed to be relieved. The Rn3ian mili
tary ennals contain no more bitter im
perial rebuke.
While it was known that the war
council had already decided to supp'aiit
Kuropatkin i.f ter the Mukden disaster,
the decision to confer the ti.ek of saving
the remainder of the army on Linie
vitch in the very midit of its flinVt,
although bruited lant night, was not an
ticipated. It tranepires that Emperor
Nicholas, on the advice cf General
Dragomirnff and War Rlini.-ter Sakha-
roff. deternrned that the step was
necessary when it became apparent
yesterday morning that Kuropatkin,
while concentrating for a stard at Tie
Pass, seemed unaware that the Japan
ese had worked ar nnd westward, nnd
again practically allowed himself to be
surprised. Olu reports brought hv
General Gripenberg regarding Kuro
patkin's failing taenUlly also had in
fluence.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
it was considered imperative, in view of
the exce-dingly perilous position of the
army, to turn over i?s command to
Linievitch, who alone had been able to
bring off his army in order after the
battle of Mukden. His record during
the Chinese war had also demonstrated
his capacity as a commander.
General Kuropa'kin will return to St.
Petersburg forthwith.
