J ANalMPORTANT DECISION.
One that Reverses the Usual Prac
tfce Of the Mineral Land Office.

WASHINGTON, October 24.-The
Acting Commissioner of the Gener.
al Laod Office, upon application for
patent for the Headlight Lode, in
Mono county, California, has reE.
dered a decision of much interest and
importance1to all mineral claimants
in general. The mineral entry in
controversy was made last February,
by Edward Clark, as attorney for
George 8. Dodge. The attorneys for
tine Vivian claimants five months af-
terward filed protest against the is.
sue Of patent, upon the ground,
among other things, that the appli-
cation was made by an agent, and
not by the alleged owner. Acting
Commissioner Armstrong now sus-
taius this portion Of the protest, and
directs the entry to be held for can.
collation.. After quoting Section
1895 of the Revised St.'u es, be says
!" This Is the only ma lner in which
a pstent for mineral lands can be OBJ.
/ tanned, aud the successive steps are
specifically detailed. May file is,
therefore, by the we'll. known rule of
statutory construction, equivalent to
must fiie.' The statute does not say
that any person or his duly author
ICED attorneymay file. etc. Its au.
thority extends only to the person,
association or incorporation, and the
plain intent of the statute unquestion-
ably is. that the owner and applicant
for patent shall file his own appli-
cation under oath. Moreover, the
claimant did not file his own affid- =
Wit, showing that the plot and notice
were posted in conspicuous place
on the claim during the go DAYS of
publication required, but substituted
that ofh attorney, and the statute
has not, in this respect, been com
piled with. 1t requires the claimant
who asks for a patent TO make the
affidavits therein named, and fails to
make provision for their being made
by any other person. 1t is person.

The following extract from a letter
written by Hon. S. S. Fem, Delegate
to Congress from Idaho, puts very
dark look upon the future of the State
of Washington: 81 have canvassed
the subject of the enabling act for the
State of Washington. There seems to
be fixed determination not to admit
Washington as State until after the
next Presidential election. This seems
prevalent among most of the members
Of Congress. Jacobs, the Delegate
from Washington, and Col. Larrabee,
who is here, both unite in the opinion
that the agitation of the question this
session will be useless. Jacobs, how
ever, will prepare a speech in which he
will advocate the measure strongly,
giving in strong language reasons why
it should be admitted under the con-
stitution now adopted by the people,
and particularly dilating upon the re-
sources of the proposed State, its rapid
increase in population, production and
commerce, anu Inducements lot ltnINl-
grafton. He will have a large num-
Der printed and circulated for the pur-
pose of drawing public attention and
increasing immigration. Dakota, that
polled 10000 votes at the last election,
will also have to 90 by until after the
Presidential election; also New Mex
leo, with its l25, 900 inhabitants. Ono
thing surprises ME, that the Republi-
cans in Congress are not willing to adj
nit New Mexico, although it is now,
and always has been Republican. OF
Utah l do not speak, with 100000 in
hahitants, as members are afraid of the
cry that would be raised should they
vote for Mormon polygamo"s State.
AS matters now stand it is generally
thought here that New Mexico, Wash
ington, Dakota and Utah will be ad-
mitted by the 47th Congress. II
Washington had elected Democratic
Delegate she would not have been ad-
mitted at this session in consequence
of the jealousy Of old States, and the
cry they would raise about insutticiency
of population"

A Case Of Poison ng.

Under date of the Sth inst, a writer
to the Statesman says Mr.. 7. o. Wal
Ter has just received letter from
Eastern Oregon giving an account of
case of poisoning which occurred
there, near Deschutes. 1t seems that
q Chinese cook at a stock ranch got
mad about something and put strych-
nine in the coffee, and when the
'boys" tasted it they discovered
something wrong, and failed to drink
enough to do much harm; they sus-
pecting poison compelled the ''moon-
eyed celestial to drink portion of
the coffee, which was not long in
sending him to ''that bourne from
which no good Cinnamon returns"
The boys, though made very sick,
recovered all right.

CHIEF MOSES IN DEMAND.-A few
days since the confession of fSa-lu-chin
one of the Perkins murderers, was
published in the Standard. The con-
ies.ion disclosed facts which placed
Chief moses in rather a bad position.
A warrant for the arrest of Moses was
issued by J. w. Beck, Of Yakima
county, for giving aid and concealing
Indians who engaged in the murder.
The sheriff took the warrant and at
once proceeded to the Yakima Ressr-
walton and demanded the Chief from
Mr.. Wilbur, the agent, who had
Moses in charge. The agent refused
to give him in charge of the sheriff,
as he had claimed to have orders from
Washington and the Territorial prose-
cutting attorney to hold him. The
sheriff desirous of getting his ''injun"
wrote to Judge Wingard and asked
if he could take him by force, legally.
The Judge although desirous Of OBJ
liging the people ofthat county, wrote
that such could not be accomplished
by him and come within the letter of
the law. The duties of the prosecut-
ing attorney are clearly defined and
in such an order he would over reach
his power. In consequence Moses
rests in peace.

London Letter to Springfield Republican.
One is very much struck by the
variety of American articles offered
sor sale here. | can remember, when
abroad few years ago, the longing
l had for only one genuine American
apple. After the season of English
pears was past l asked my fruit man,
with many misgivings, if he had any
good apples. "Yes he had fine ap-
Piles. Would l prefer Baldwins,
peach favored Newtown pippins,
russets, or greenings?-all just ar
rived from America" And l found
what he said to be true, and that l
could have, in as good condition,
with very small increase ofexpense,
as good apples on my table as if at
home. About the same time my
fshmonger astonished me by asking
me if | would like some Blue Points.
and these l found of as small size
and fine fresh flavor as if served at
Delmonico's, and not as high in price.
Even at the smaller grocer shops one
sees canned fruits, vegetables and
meats, all from America. Many such
articles are recommended because
American. l had white cotton cloth
shown me the other day in small
shop on which was the stamp of
mill in Rhode Island. This increase
in the sale of American articles is re-
garded with great jealousy by many
of the English, and they have en-
tirely gotten over regarding US as q
half-civilized nation.

The defnitive treaty between Rus
sia and Turkey declares peace and
cordial relations to be re-established
between Russia and Turkey, and pro-
vides that articles of the San Stefano
treaty which were not modified by
the treaty of Berlin shall remain in
force. The mode of payment of the
indemnity and compensation to Rus
sian residents of Turkey who suffered
through the war is left for future
agreement. All prosecutions for
aiding the other side during the war
are abandoned, and persons implicated
in the Roumelian disturbances are
pardoned. The protocol declares
that the recognition Of the treaty of
Berlin in the present treaty changes
neither its character nor range Of
power. As Servia, Montenegro and
Roumania are independent, Russia
leaves them free to come to an under
standing for themselves with the
porte relative to their claims for war
iudemaities.

1t is intimated by the New York
Times that u project is on foot in f.
nancial circles to test the constitution
sity of the law in regard toreissuing
the legal tenders. Eminent legal
authorities generally agree that the
supreme court would Of necessity
condemn the law, on the ground that
to attempt the reissue of greenbacks
that have been paid once would be to
assert the power of the government
to issue legsl-tender notes in time OF
peace. A decision OF this kind is al
most a necessity to put final quie-
tus on schemes of robbery aud contis-
cation through issues of deprecated
legal tender.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1879-02-20

Unless Congress shall pass special
appropriation to meet it, the new pen
sion act will be imperative. 1t is
limited now that southern members are
averse to such appropriations. They
joined in passing the bill to help their
northern Democratic allies among the
soldier element, but hoped and believed
the President would veto it. But he
didn't; and now since the South is not
likely to get the bill to pension Mexi-
can soldiers or to restore to the pension
rolls those who were stricken OFT on
account OF disloyalty during the rebel
lion, and since hardly dollar of the
millions that are to be disbursed under
the act just passed vii! 60 to the south,
there is disinclination on the part of
southern members to vote the ap-
preparation. They state freely that
they were led to vote for the bill on
representation that its passage by the
House would greatly help northern
Democrats at the next election, and
that the bill would never become y
law, because it would be amended in
the Senate and be allowed to die while
the two houses were fighting over it.
But the scheme went sadly awry, and
lot of politicians were hoist with
their own petard.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1879-02-20

from the Chicago Tribune.l

1t is now pretty certain that the
thirty ninth State in the Union will
he named Dakota, and embrace the
territory lying Just north of Nebraska
and west of Minnesota. The bill in
troduced in the Senate by Mr.. Sargent
to enable the people Of that Territory
to organize State government is not
at all premature. There are already
100000 people within the limits d.
fined, and there will be $50, 1000 before
the necessary preliminaries for adnis-
sion into the union can be completed.
The area Of the State is twice as large
as that Of Illinois, and it forms the last
in the latest tier Of Territories admit
ted in the union.
