to enter as homestead piece Of land within
the s!x-nile limit OF the grant.for the Drainesd
Division Of tho st. Paul & Pacific Railway In
Minnesota. Tho decision was an ahverse one,
and based on the ground that, though the land
had been forfeited by tue railroad company
having the latest tttlu. yet It did not therefore
revert to the United Statcs, and would not until
further legislation " rs had. Or proceedings were
tak1n to declare sud forfeiture. The opinion
Of the Secretary, which is a long ono, traces the
land under all the lcgi'lation which 1t has sui.
fered. and concludes, IA stated, that the Tor
fcllurc is due, but By no means self-operattve.

TROUBLESOME cLAss1FICATIONs
During the last few months much fault has
been found by merchants in this city because
the freight classi4cntions Of somo Of the roads,
and especially those Of the roads leading to
Plttsburg, tended to discriminate against the
interests of Chicago, the elaseideations Of these
having goods IN lower classes than the Others,
which virtually made tho rates from Western
points lower than tho regular rates indicated.

th!s state Of affairs, and IN order TO overcome
the difficulty and 10 make all The Qualifications
