Prote*t Agnlnut the Leaalng of Public Arid Land*. Kalt Lake, April 23.—Governor Lee. of South Dakota, and Governor Povu- ter, arrived today and took jiart in the proceedings of the governors of West ern states, who have met to discuss subjects of interest to thia section. After a general discussion, the com mittee appointed to formulate resolu tions against the leasing of public arid lands by the general government and demanding the cession of such lauds to the several states should any change in the present system be made, reported the following, which were adopted: "Resolved, That the people of the states here represented are opjosed ab solutely to any legislation or anj’ action of any kind looking to, or having for its object, the leasing of the public lands of the United States by the general government or any angency thereof. "Resolved, second. That the present laws providing for the control, man agement and disposal of the public arid lands of the United States are best adapted to the needs and requirements of the country, and conducive to the settlement and occupancy thereof by bona fide settlers. ‘‘Resolved, third, That if it shall be found that the present laws affecting the arid lands are not satisfactory to the congress of the United States, then we favor a cession of the said arid lands to the several slates wherein they are situated under such terms and condi tions as will guarantee the benefits of the free homestead laws to the people of the United States, and that will pre vent said lands either by feg simple title, or by the leasing thereof from passing into the jiossession or control of large companies, syndicates, copror ations or wealthy indiv'duals in large quantities, to the exclusion of others, and under such conditions that the sev eral states may have the income aris ing from sail! lands to be devoted to the reclamation and improvement thereof for settlement by bona fide citi zens.” Governor Lee, of South Dakota, was the only one who opposed the resolution. His opposition was simply because he believed that the demand for cession to the states should be put first. A form of letters to be sent out to other governors was adopted.

London, April 25.—The strong body of reinforcements which Lord Rolierts sent to aBsist the relief of Wepener ami to endeavor to envelop and cut off the Boers from retreat northward fur nishes further evidence that the Boers are assembled in much larger forces around Wepener than had hitherto been Supposed, and as the Times, in an edi torial this morning, remarkH, what ever may be the difficulties of roads and rains, the Boers appear to have guns, and sometimes big ones, where they want them. A Boer dispatch, dated Thabanchu, April 20, sayB that a fresh supply of cannon and ammunition has reached General Dewet at Jammersberg Drift. It also asserts that one of Colonel Dal- gety’s guns has been smashed. Karriefontein, mentioned in Lord Roberts’ message to the war office, is 15 miles southeast of Bloemfontein. Leeuw Kop is two miles further south. Apparently the British captured I’aarile Kraal Sunday night. The Boers evacu ated Leeuw Kop during the night, re moving the gun, and the British occu pied the kop the next morning. FLOODS IN THE SOUTH. Steady Downpour of Rain and No Re lief In Sight. Louisville, Ky., April 25.—The rains continue throughout the flood districts of the South, and danger to lives and property is becoming more grave. It was thought Saturday the crisis was passed, but in many localities the rain is falling again with increased vio lence. Late reports to the weather bureau show that heavy precipitation has been general within the last 12 hours throughout the flooded country. It was estimated last Saturday that $3,000,000 worth of private property had already been destroyed, and it is now thought probable this damage will be heavily increased. Mail and tele graphic communication has been de stroyed between the smaller towns in Mississippi and Alabama, south of Jackson, the northern limit of the floods. Many farm houses have been swept away, their occupants barely escaping with their lives, and the drowning of a family of seven negroes is repotted form Jackson, Miss. Trains on railroads into New Olreans which have not been abandoned entire ly are running only in the daylight, owing to the dangerous condition of the track. The Louisville & Nashville New Orleans line which was in fair condition until last evening, is now cut in two by the destruction of a four-span bridge over the West Pascagoula river, near Granton. Arrangements have been made to ferry passengers across the break. Thousands of people in the small water-bound towns of Missis sippi are reported on the brink of star vation. San Francisco, April 23.—Henry Hoahstey, of Oakland, who has re turned from the seat of the Yaqui war, in Mexico, brings advices as follows: The Mexicans sent out word that the war was over, but at the same time 4,1)00 troops were hastening to the fiont. The Yaquis have about 6,000 men under arms. They have Reming ton and Mauser rifles and liows and arrows. They have two cannons that 34 Yaquis captured from 200 Mexicans. The Mexicans keep to the roads and towns, while the Yaquis hold the Sier ras. Mexicans estimate the Yaquis at 15,000, but the population of Sonora is at least 120,000, and half of them are Yaquis. The Indians have a peculiar system for keeping their treasury in funds. The warriors alternate between the firing line and working in the mines md on the ranches. Their wages go to the common fund. Within the past two weeks several engagements have been fought in whcli the government troops were generally victorious. In a recent engagement between a party Welland Canal Wreckers. of insurgents, the government reports Washington, April 25.—The result of 17 Yaquis dead on the field.

STRANGE Rich TALE OF CRIME. Colorado Mln.r Charged Murdering Four Moll. With Chicago, April 25.—A remaikable sequel to a seiies of alleged crimes in the Rocky mountain country haH coma to light here. The Chicago develop ments »re told in an interview by At torney William J. Candlish, of this city, in explanation of notices received by the Chicago police asking foi the aiTest of George H. Wright, alias James S. Weeks, aliaB C. T. Case, alias Mr. Stevens, a native of Michigan and a graduate of the law department of the university of Ann Arbor, charged with murdering four persona, three in Utah and one in Colorado. Attorney Candlish says he became h ” quainted <ith Wright because the« lived at the same Chicago hotel iq July, 1897, and Wright engaged him to go West and gather evidence to de fend him on the charge of having mur dered a man named Crampton, near Guffy, Colo., in January, 1897. Wrigl l then, it is alleged, under the name < f Case, deeded to Candlish a bank build ing, a residence, two office building« and numerous vacant lots in Crippis I’ark and Guffy, Colo., besides trans ferring to him all his stock in varioue mining enterprises. Candlish say i Case left his office to return in an hoi. • with $200 as advance payment on Gaud, lish’s traveling exjienses, and has not returned to this day. The Chicago man interested iq Case’s mining properties sent Candlish West, however, and he examined the properties at Cripple I’ark and Guffy and was later made president of the Hub Hill Mining Company and of th» Fines Mining Company and counsel for the Union Mining Company. Case has been president of the three com panies. Case told Candlish he was innocent of Cramptons’ death and that the charge was an effort of enemies and business rivals to ruin him. A circu lar issued by Sheriff George A. Storrs, of Provo City, Utah, charges that Wright murdered three boys in Utah county, in February, 1895, and sank their bodies beneath the ice of Utah Lake, the alleged reason for the crime being that the boys claimed to have knowledge of Wright’s guilt as a cattle thief. This explanation was, it is al leged, given to the Utah state board of pardons in tne hearing for a pardon last April for the stepfather of the three boys who had been convicted of their murder and sentenced to be hanged, the witnesses before the pardon board being the divorced wife of the missing Wright, whose property and official po sitions have so strangely fallen to At torney Candlish, half way across the continent in Chicago. JAPANESE Home COOLIES. Government to Put a Stop Wholesale Emigration. to Washington, April 25.—Information has reached Washington to the effect that the Japanese government itself, and without waiting a request from the United States, is about to take steps to restrict the immigration of Japanese coolies to the United States. It is as serted that the figures relative to this immigration have been magnified and that, as a matter of fact, theie are now not more than about 15,000 or 16,000 Japanese within the limits of the Uni ted Stales, outside of Hawaii. It ia said that such emigration as has lately occurred has resulted entirely from the competition of the two great Japanese immigration societies; that the labor ers have been practically brought here under the delusion that there were un told opportunities for work at great wages. The Japanese government ia interested in protecting its people from hardships resulting from such imposi tions, and that ia the reason it intends to establish restrictions upon the out ward flow. Ran Into an Open Switch. Salt Lake, Utah, April 25.—Rio Grande Western No. 1 ran into an open switch at the Portland Cement Works in the city limits this afternoon, pil ing up the engine, tender and several cars.
