The conviction that tlio legislation of tbo United Statea.and the adminis trative policy of tho government in relation to the public lands have erred on the sido of looseness in the past, and that the time has come for the adoption of a stricter line of pol icy, has grovra in strength in the re cent past It has been strengthened in a very definite way by the recogni tion of a substantial basis for it on the part of high administrative officers. In the last annual report of (he secre tary of the interior that officer re ferred to the recognition by his im mediate predecessor of the evils and abuses connected with the public land system, and of the impossibility of dealing adequately with them witntne means and authority at his com mand. His own conclusions were not only confirmatory of this position in general, but went, still further. He declared that with the existing laws in force, and the appliances used for their perversion in vigorous operation, every attempt by mere administrative agencies to prevent the evils comJ plained of would be fruitless and una vailing. As the result of a careful consideration of tho subject, he rec ommended the immediate and total repeal of the preemption laws, the timber culture acta the relinquish ment acts, tho cash entry laws, and the desert land law. His idea was that the public lands subject to dis posal should be entered exclusively under the homestead laws, and that the other laws should be repealed by a short act from tho operation of which tho mineral lands, the timber reserves and some others should be saved. These suggestions of secretary La mor have been adopted in part in a bill dealing with the publio lands which has just been passed by the house of representatives. It classifies all of the publio lands as agricultural, timber, mineral, desert and rcsorved. It repeals the preemption and timber culture laws, but authorizes mineral and stone lands to be disposed of un der existing laws. Citizens, or per sons declaring their intention to be come such, are allowed to enter 1G0 acres of iron or coal lands at the price of $10 per acre. Tho sections relat ing to timber lands forbid the sale of such lands, but allow the timber to be disposed of under proposals, and per mit settlers to take timber not com mercially valuable for domestic use. Where minerals are discovered on tracts where the timber has been sold, it is provided that such lands may be entered as mineral lands. The resi dents of tho western territories are permitted to cut timber under exist ing laws for six months after the pass ago of the act, and tho timber cut must be removed within five years. Tho president is authorized to set apart tracts of forest lands as public reservations. Isolated tracts "of less than 160 acres may be sold at not less then $1.25 per acre. Tho sections relating to desert lands authorize any person to enter a 320 acre tract of such land upon affidavit that it is for his own benefit, and not for a corporation, that he intends to cultivate by irriga tion, and upon a payment of from $5 to $20, varying with tho size -of tho entry. Patents are to issue for such lands, however, only when one-eighth of tho land has been irrigated and cul tivated within three years and upon payment of 25 cents per acre. The provisions relating to agricultural lands allow heads of families, making affidavit that the land is for their own use, to enter quarter section tracts where they do not own that amount of land in any state or territory, upon a payment of $5 or 10, 'according to the size of the entry. Entrymen are required to establish residence upon their claim within six months after entry in habitable houses, to reside thereon continuously for five years, to cultivate at least ten acres, when they may take out patents. Such nre the leading features of the measure which has just passed the house. Its pas sage is a recognition of the sentiment demanding a more careful regulation of the means for disposing of and aa quiring public lands, jt sentiment which has grown with the decrease of the public domain and which must before long be satisfied by effective legislation. The Alta man has his little pencil out and figured up the results of the recent state election. He figures that the result did no come of the tariff: issue, but because of immigration and "the wholesale use of illicit means." Heals Cooked to Order.

Arrest of Another Han on Suspicion. Landreth lianged at Dallas Yesterday. (SPECIAl TO THE ABTOEIAJf.) Chicago, July 6. J.: A. Baureisn, an officer of the Aurora, His., Loco motive division of the brotherhood of engineers, was brought to Chicago this morning under arrest by the deputy TJ. S. marshal. He i3 charged with complicity in the alleged dyna mite plot against the Chicago, Bur lington &Qnincy railroad company. Baureisn is not the mysterious fourth man who eluded the officer yesterday when the three arrests were made. In regard to the latest arrest, general manager Stone of the Burlington road said this merning: "Baureisn is the chief engineer of division 32 of the Brotherhood of locomotive engi neers at Aurora, which is one of the principal lodges on our road. For two years he has been a member of the grievance committee and he is also chairman of the Aurora local grievance committee. He was ar rested under the United States statutes which prohibited the car riage of 'dynamite on passenger trains." Beyond this ho was not dis posed to talk. It is evident, how ever, that his company regarded the arrest ss an important one. Baureisn states that he knew noth whatevor of tho charges preferred against him, and that the arrest was a total surprise. Of the other men arrested he said he knew Bowles from the fact that he had been iu his di vision of the Brotherhood; with the others he had no acquaintance. When asked if he suspected that he was being watched, he said not more tnan anybody else. He had known that there were detectives on the ground in Aurora, doggiag the broth erhood men, but had no reason to suspect why he was particularly singled out. Baureisn is an open face, broad shouldered man, about 35 years of age, with bronzed, honest looking features. He talked very frankly and bore himself in a very manly way. CALIFORNIA FRUIT.

In the firemen's tournament to-day Spokane was in the front rank again, as yesterday. The Spokane hook and ladder team made a fine start, but lost their ladder near the scratch, and in some way were allowed another trial, when they won. Time, 33 seconds; prize, S225. Seattle was second. Tune, 33 3-5 seconds, prize, $100. The championship race, New York test by Beven teams, was won by the Spokane Comets; time, 1:16 2-5 sec ond, Queen City team, 1:18 4-5: third, Vancouver, B. C, 121 3-5; Victoria fourth, 122 2 5; Albany fifth, 1-26J& East Portland sixth, 127 .4 5; Vancou ver, W. T., seventh, in 128 3 20. The Fast Portland boys made a magnifi cent run, but lost in getting water. The same may be said about the Al bany team. The latter worked under the disadvantage of having no prac tice with hydrants at home. The prizes in this race were as follews: First, championsip and $200; second, $150; third, S100. The Vancouver, B. 0., team entered a protest against the Seattle team, which the directors of the association will consider later. AT WALLA WALLA. Walla -Walla, July 5. Tho at tendance at the firemen's tournament to-dny was very large. The Pendle ton team and Our Boys and Tigers of this city took part. The first race was for visiting teams only, and Pen dleton rau alone.

Championship raee: Teams to run 300 feot to engine, attach, lay 400 feet of hose, put on pipe, get water, take off one section of hose from cart and replace second section from engine; carts to carry 400 feet of hose. Our Boys ran first, and by mistake carried one section of hose too muoh, neces sitating a run of fifty feet further, so the other teams were compelled to do the same. The course was slightly down hill. Our Boys won in one minute and fifteen seconds; time of Tigers, 120; Pendleton, 1:40. Dry test, 300 feet to engine", turn attach aud lay 300 feet of hose Pen dleton won in 0-39; Oar Boys, 0:40. The Tigers upset their cart ond did not finish.
