BLACK HILLS MAIL.
Shall st. Paul Have Daily Mail Service VIA
Bismarck


Bismarck
Hitherto the direct mail service between
this city and the Black Hills has been only
tri-weekly, the route taken having been
along the Northern Pacific to Bismarck. D.
T.. and thence, by stage, to the destination
in the Hills. Meanwhile, there has been
daily mail connection maintained by way Of
Cheyenne and Sidney, on the line of tho
Union Pacific. The postofice department,
however, deeming that the business OF this
city and section demanded more frequent
mail service than has heretofore
existed, has commissioned Major B. P.
Eaton, superintendent of the railroad mail
service, to visit st. Paul and institute inau'.
ries respecting the postal needs II, the direc-
ton indicated. Accordingly, Major Eaton
was dispatched hither, end yesterday
called upon leading merchants in this
city to ascertain the amount of tler business
interest in the Black Hills. Among others
whom he visited, Maj. Eaton discovered
| single firm, which, during the past year. has
transacted business with the Black ILLS to
the enormous amount of S25O,0O0. Upon
the result of Major Eaton's enquiries
will depend the all-important fact whether
or not st, Paul shall henceforth be in daily
communication with the Black Hills, or not
It may be stated, however, that the federal
government cannot scarcely fail to recognize
/ the fact that ST. faul is, perhaps, above all
| other cities in the country, most widely and
intimately connected with the Black Hills,
| and should, therefore, be entitled to all the
mail facilities compatible with the resources
! of the postof1ice department.

LEITRIM'S FUNERAL.

The Curses of the Poor Follow tho Hard
Landlord to the Grave--A Strange Scene.
LONDON, April 1.-THE scene at Lord
Leitrim's funeral, in Dublin, yesterday was
very violent and disgraceful. A mob that
gathered in front of the church endeavored
to capture the hearse, declaring their inten-
ton to drag out the corpse. They vituper-
ated the late earl as ruffan and ns an old
hereto. They also climbed the wall of the
church yard, hustled the mourners and
'cheered, yelled ans Missed daring the read
ing of the service. Several of the mourn
ers were roughly handled while endeavoring
to make their way into the church yard. All
of them had to pass out by an unfrequented
way in the rear Of the church to escape vio-
lence. Fifty constables were present, but
wholly insufficient to cope with the mob,
many of whom were drunk.

WASHINGTON i ES.
TIE DOINGs AND GOSSIP OF YEsTER-
DAY.
Relief for Settlers.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Senator Plumb, in
behalf Of the Senate committee on public
lands, to-day reported substitute for two bills
heretofore introduced by Senators Booth and
ingalls, for the relief of settlers on lands sup
posed to be within railroad grants, but after
wards thrown outside of double minimum
limits by reason Of change of route.
The substitute provides that every pre-
emption settler, or his widow, or his children,
If still in possession of the land, shall be en-
titled to repayment of the difference between
the price paid and the government minimum
price of said land, provided that it would, if
vacant at the time of application for repay
ment, be subject to sale or entity at tho mini
mum rate of 51.25 per acre.
The bill also allows homestead settlers who
have been restricted to eighty acres, to enter an
additional tract of eighty acres adjoining land
embraced in the original entry. or If they, or
their widows or orphaned children SO elect,
they may surrender the original entry
for cancellation, and thereupon be entitled to
enter 100 acres under homestead laws elsewhere.
without payment Of additional fees. md their
residence and cultivation under original
entry, shall be credited upon new or additional
entry provided that in every case there shall
be at least one years residence and cultivation
required before issuance of patent for the
second entry,
1t is also provided that benefits of this act
! shall not extend to persons who have sold, or IN
any way attempted to aleniate land embraced
in their original entries to any person who has
attempted TO aleniate his rights under the acts
