Heirs to Twenty Millions.

For a long time past tradition has
been cherished in the families of three
brothers named Wentforth, living in
New Jersey, that their maternal grand
father, some time about the year 1919,
pre-empted the land on which the city
of Little Rock, Ark, stands. About
twenty years ago suit was begun tor
this land by an heir belonging to an
other branch of the family, but the three
brothers were not sanguine as to ltS
success, and refused to allow them
selves to be taxed heavilyto carry 1t on
When, however, last year, Elias Went
forth, of Elizabethport, one OF tne
brothers, was offered $500 for dis
claim, he refused, saying that II 1t was
worth any thing it was worth more tnan
that.
Monday and yesterday were spent oy

suit in informing the Wentforths tna'

CAPTAIN EADs is in Washington en-
deavoring to secure from Congress a
modification of the act providing for
jetlies at the mouth of the Mississippi.
He states that upward of 80 per cent. OF
the whole work required to complete
the enterprise has been done, and less
than 90 per cent. of the contract price
has been paid by the Government. The
delay in payments under the present act,
it appears, is so great that Capt. Eads
finds it impossible to push the work as
rapidly as the public interests require
He therefore asks that part of the
large sums in the hands of the Govern
ment may be paid over to him at an
earlier date than the present law au-
thorizes, in order to relieve him from
financial burdens and enable him to
prosecute the work more vigorously.
The latest surveys show good naviga-
BILE channel to the sea, with u least
depth of % feet and depth of 26 feet
through the entire Jetty channel, except
a distance of $50 feet. The depth when
the jetties were begun was less than
eight feet. a report prepared on the
subject shows that all the large ship
ping entering or leaving the Mississippi
uses the jetty channel, thus saving to
the Government an annual outlay of
s25O,OOO, expended for dredging under
the old system, when there was rarely a
navigabe depth of over Is feet. Capt.
Eads says he will secure the maximum
depth of 80 feet within the time required
by the jetty act. He does not ask to
have the depth lessened, but only such
notifications rs Acknowledgements may
deem advisable.

Tue majority report of the Commit

A WASHINGTON special of the 10th
says: "The published statement of COM

to an investigation as to the strength
and character of the reported prepara-
tions, which shows that the accounts
are very much exaggerated. In the
meantime, however, the Government
will observe all operations of this char
acter in order to be prepared for any
emergency should they in the future ex-
tend to dimensions threatening the peace

JUDGE SAWYER, of the United States
Circuit Court of California, has render
ed decision which excludes the Chi
nese from citizenship. The " Act to
correct errors and to supply omissions
in the Revised Statutes of the United
States," of Feb. 10, 1875, provides that
the naturalization laws shall apply to
"aliens, being free white persons, and
to aliens of African nativity, and to per-
sons of African descent" Judge Saw
yer, in his opinion, goes into an ex-
haustive analysis of the meaning of the
term "white." He quotes Webster,
Linnnus, Cuvier, and the American
Cyclopndia," and concludes that a
Monaghan is not a "white person.
within the meaning of the term as used
in the naturalization laws of the United
States.

signed by Representatives Page Hub
BILE, and Williams of Oregon, says that
they are unable to agree with the report
of the majority in charging the Depart
ment with mal-administration, and they

AN unsuccessful attempt to assassi-
nate the Emperor William was made on
the afternoon of the 18th, as he was
driving in his carriage through the
avenue Unterden-Linden in Berlin.
The would-be assassin stood on tbe
sidewalk and fired two shots from a re-
volver into the carriage as it was pass
ing. Upon an attempt to arrest him
being made, he fired the other charges
and then threw down his revolver and
ran, but was soon overtaken and cap
tured. He proved to be tinsmith,
named Emil Hoedel, from Leipsic,
where it is alleged he had formerly con-
Quoted socialistic meetings. He de-
MED the charge of firing into the EN-
peror's carriage, and said that he had
shot at himself with the inten ton OF
committing suicide. There was great
excitement in the city on account OF the
affair, and immense crowds thronged
about the palace, manifesting their 10y
atty and sympathy by singing the ma
tional anthem.

A DECISION rendered at Omaha by
Judge Dundy, of the United States Dis
trict Court, denies the right of the Kan
sas and Denver Pacific Railroads to
compel the Union Pacific to concede
mileage pro-rate on all business deliver
ed by them to the latter road. 1t is held
that the Union Pacific has the right to
impose an extra charge on freight car
ried west of the junction of these
branches, upon the ground that the cost
of construction between Cheyenne and
Ogden was largely in excess of the cost
of any of the lines east of Cheyenne,
such rate to be regulated in proportion
to the increased cost of construction and
operation.

GENERAL WEITzEL, Internal Revenue
Collector at Cincinnati, has been re-
auested to tender his resignation, for
the reason, as stated, that the Depart
ment has been for some time convinced
that large quantities of "crooked"
whisky were being sold in Cincinnati
and the Collector and his subordinates
failed to discover the perpetrators OF
the frauds or the method by which they
were accomplished. Some of the frauds
were of such a nature as to preclude any
other theory than that OF collision
somewhere among the local revenue
officers, although there seems to be no
suspicion that Collector Weitzel is HIM
self implicated.

Italians have quick ear for music-alto-

opera at Milan or Naples. After new
opera one hears passage after passage hum
med on every side as he leaves the theater,
and during the performance those who have
good ears have the habit of keeping up with
all the singers. A Dutch botanist who was
very fond of music, CHANGED to have one of
these humming birds sitting next to him
at the opera in Milan. How
to make him cease the humming he knew
not 1t was delicate thing. At last be had
a plan As soon as the tenor entered and
began his grand scene the botanist began TO
fidget, and exclaimed now and then, What
a nuisance!" Whats a nuisanceP said the
hummer, looking daggers at the Dutchman.
THAT tenor" quietly answered his compsn-
ion ''He has such loud voice that he
quite prevents my hearing you!" The hum
mer was silent for the rest of the evening.
