Secretary Schurz Refuses to Reverse His
Former Decision Relative to the Pre-
emption Rights of Settlers.
WASHINGTON, Sept 3.--The secretary of the in
terror to day rendered additional decision to the
commissioner of the general land office in the well
known Dudymot case. The appeal was taken for 8
reversal or suspension of the former decision Sec
rotary schurz declines to do either, and the former
decision by which large tracts of land covered by
land grants to railroads opened to settlement is
TO stand unless reversed by decision of the courts
Immense numbers of applications have been made
to enter lands under the former decision It is ex
pected the railroads will take immediate stems to ap-
peal to the courts. Secretary Sch,1rz says it has
been from the earliest history of this government one
OF the most important and benefcien principles gov
erning its land policy not to favor the creation of
large estates, but to put the public land at slc rates
and in such quantities within the easiest possible
reach for the poor and homeless, that the latter
might acquire homes for themselves and their
families, and thereby promote healthy
development Of the agricultural resources of the
country. This principle has evidently been kept in
view by the aw-rnaking power when aiding the con-
strc6on of national highways by extensive grants of
lands aud in accordance with it was wisely provid-
ed in this grant that unless the lands granted were
sold by the companies within q reasonable time
they should be opened to actual settlement under the
auspices of the government of the United States and
under the provisions of the prescription law SO that
they might be acquired and settled upon by persons
of limited MEANS while the proceeds of such sales are
to be turned over to the companies.

panaerbit Purchases Ea,vin Forrest.

New York Star, Aug. 31st.
The phenomenon of the trotting turf of
1875 Edwin Forrest, who was pulled at
Utica and prevented from winning and who
has since startled the sporting world by trotting
a mile at Hartford in 2:1414, has been pur-
chased by w. II. Vanderbilt of this city.
For anumber of years there has been great
rivalry between Mr.. Robert Bonner and the
Vanderbilt family as to who should have the
fastest horse Mr.. Vanderbilt, by his latest
purchase, has secured the fastest horse in
America except Rarus. Charles Green of
Babylon, L. l., who purchased Edwin Forrest
for Mr.. Vanderbile, claims that the animal can
beat Rarus.
Mr.. Vanderbilt paid small price for the
wonderful trotter-a little more than ne-half
that Mr.. Bonner paid for Dexter-and when
the latter was bought by Mr.. Bonner he only
had a record of 2:17, while Edwin Forests
record is 2:144. The price was $685. 500. Bon
ner paid 100000 for Dexter. Turfmen say
that Forest can beat the record of 2134, re-
Gently made by Conklin's Rarus by over three
seconds, and it is reported that Charles Green
has driven him a mile in 2:11. Mr.. Vanderbilt
will withdraw the horse from the turf, and I'M
less he agrees to let him appear at some trot-
ting meeting the pubic will never witness his
gigantic strides in a race, or find out how fast
he can actually trot. 1t is claimed the next
coming horse is Proteine, and that he can trot
in 2:14 or better. It may be possible that Mr..
Bonner may buy him, but his owner, it is
claimed, would not sell for double the price
paid for Edwin Forrest.

The Plasaned Knight.
[Chicago Times.

Mr. Blaine was in the city yesterday. He is on his
way to Minneapolis, where he will be exhibited as
the principal attraction at Bill Kings show, in oppo-
stion to the fair at st. Paul. at which President
Hayes will be the feature. Mr.. Hayes consent to
pun himself before the public at the Minnesota State
fair is such lowering of the dignity of his great
Office that is at loss to understand it. The deter
mnation of Mr.. Blaine to let himself be grooned for
exhibition by Bill King in the neighboring town of
Minneapolis is even more mystery. Bill King g
connection with the Pacific Mail subsidy as de-
veoped in Congressional investigation few years
ago, was one of the most infamous episodes in
American politics. The commonest instinct of po-
litical prudence should have restrained the plumed
knight from giving the central figure of that trans
action his counrenance in SO conspicuous manner
as is contemplated in his present excursion.
