The result of the River Convention at st.
Louis last week, the resolutions OF which are
published in another page, Is disappointing.
The convention ignored the claims Of oil the
tributaries of the Mississippi and all the other
great water courses of the country, and confin'
cd itself solely to working up sentiment in ia,
vor of vast levee system for the Mississippi
alone. The claims of the Illinois river and
ship canal to connect the Mississippi with the
lakes could get no hearing. In fact, it was not
the interests OF commerce, but of the big job
of building Mississippi river levees that the
convention seemed alone to have at heart
Now the country ID by no means ready 10
embark in that system. Experience has shown
that every new levee built for the river only
raises its bed 30 much higher, and that when
the whole river Is leveed it will require mu
lions every year to raise the banks foot OF
two higher until the very bottom Ia higher
than the adjacent land and break in the le
wees anywhere would flood whole states. The
true system, 1t IS maintained, is to open new
outlets for the river, which can be done at vast
|ly less expense; but that system would DC
away with the yast Job" the levee system in.
wolves, and for that reason found no favor with
the convention.

It is stated that detectives are

they will be indicted for

any Of the banks money in Wall

Baldwin himself said, in making his
confession: off 1 had been knave
enough to use the banks stock in

an egregious fool of myself, as i
have done, I might possibly have re-
ceived some sympathy" I had a

him to accept bail. He thought his
action has necessarily deprived him
of friends, and he has expressed his
willingness to GO at once to Jail. /
told him he still had friends, and he
certainly could be of no good behind
the bars, for his services would be

Mining Decision.

Washington, LIN April last an
order was issued by President Gar
field setting aside from public land
the military reservation of Fort
Maginnis, Montana Territory. Ger
tain miners, alleging mineral was
discovered and a camp established
by them on land included in the
reservation several months previous
to the location Of the post by the
military authorities, appealed to the
secretary Of the interior for infor-
nation whether they could hold the
mines and surface ground connected
Herewith, though they be on the re-
SerVatiOn, and whether mineral land
could be to catch and patented on
the military reservation after the
establishment of the reservation.
The encouragement was asked for
an opinion on the following ques-
tons:
First, Whether or not mineral
lands reserved from sale under Sec
ton 2316 of the Revised Statutes of
the United States can be reserved
for military purposes, by order of
the President.
Second, Where mineral lands are
included within the limits of terri
tory reservation are such lands open
to exploration and to purchase,
under section 2319, RevisedStatutes
Third, Where incohate title to
mineral lands have been acquired
and such lands subsequently been
included within military reserya-
ton, can title to said mineral lands
be perfected by private owners?
Acknowledgement MacVeagh, in
his opinion, says: From an early
period in the history of the govern
ment, it has been the practice of the
President to order from time to time,
as exigencies of the public service
parcels of land belonging
to the United States to be reserved
from sale and set apart for public
use. The authority Of the Pres |
ident in this respect is recognized
in numerous acts Of Congress, and
the power is broad enough to include
lands belonging to the
'Hublic domain, at least while they
SRmain unfractured by private right
acquired under the laws relating
thereto. This necessarily involves
a negative answer to the second
question, since after public !
lands have once been lawfully
reserved by the President for
public uses, they became severed
from Dublic domain and are there
fore not subject to occupation, and
purchase under the general law" /
In answer to the third question:
be says: Congress has recognized
possessory rights to these miners |
rs contained among themselves.
