WASHINGTON. April I2.-Rumors
have been repeated from time to time OF
the resignation of Ministers Low and
Delong. Inquiry at official sources
| to-day shows that LOWS resignation
has not been received, and that EX-Sen-
ator Coles name has not even been inti-
mated by the President in connection
with the China or Japan mission. Cole
! himself says he is not an applicant for
diplomatic position. Up to noon to-day
no one of the Presidents house or. at
the department of state had any inTor-
nation of Belongs rumOred resigna-
ton, further than what has been prI-
vateIy said by his friends, namely, that
he would retire, should the administra-
! ton desire a change.
The President to-day gave audience to
a number of persons on business mat
| tiers, and at one O'Clock went to the
| Treasury Department, where he had a
! long consultation with Secretary Rich
ardsOu.
The superintendent of the mounted

The commissioner of the general land
office has notified the local land officers
along the line of the Northern Pacific
railroad, that the secretary of the interi-
| or has decided that the Northern Pacific
railroad company is entitled to lands
along the line laid down on its map OF
the preliminary location, as against all
persons who have made settlements on
such lands after the said preliminary
map had been accepted by the secretary
of the interior, but before lands had been
formally withdrawn. This decision is
adverse to several hundred claimants,
and involves about two hundred sections
of land in Minnesota, Washington Ter
ritOry and elsewhere.
The secretary of the interior to-day
heard the argumentof President Becker,
of the st. Paul and Pacific railroad
company, in support of its application
| for patents for about four hundred Sec
tions of land where it crosses the line oi
| the Northern Pacific road. Both road:
