There will be no more foolishness in
holding pre-emptions. The country CAM
afford it. The boys who think final re-
ceipt from the U. s. land Office is good
enough title, are liable to find out differ:
emily. The secretary of the Interior has
recently decided that, "In all cases OF
purchases of pre- empted lands before the
issuance Of patents applied therefor, the
ruccopeat ompto,. Qet the purchaser be-
ware) is particularly applicable to one
who purchases of a pre-emptor before
patent, and that such purchasers must
abide by the disposition of the cases by
your Office (the general land office or this
department, that they take no better title
than the vendors have, and that your office
(the general land office and the depart
ment have full authority to cancel pre-
emptlon entries for invalidity orfraud. 1t
follows that the benefits of the doctrine of
the bona .fde purchaser can only be sought
and applied in the courts. Pre-cmptors
are not free from contest IN the land de

patents are issued.

POOL TOURNlMENT.
What Eight Hen Can do with Cue,
Chalk, Table and Is Balls.

Chalk, Table and Is Balls.
Since Monday evening the match games
of the fifteen ball pool tournament have
been in progress at the Sheridan House,
the last game being played yesterday.
The contestants were Messrs. S. H. Emer-
son, r. White. Geo. Reed, J. n. Carna-
han, w. B. Bell, NJ. H. jewell, A. T. Bige-
low and w. s. K enney. Three games each
were played, making elghty.four games
all told. Each player was obliged to call
each shot and eight balls won the game.
The contest throughout was animated and
close. After the first six games pool buy
ers were anxious to take Emerson as flst
choice, but White found many hackers as
second and bets on the two against the
field were liberal. AS game after game
was played, however, pool selling began
to lag, no one being desirous of betting
against Mr. Emerson. Out of the twenty
one games each man had to play, Mr.. EN-
erson won II, followed by White with IA,
Reed, 70; Carnahan, II; Bell, 10; Jewell,
:: Bigelow, 7; Keaney 6. The first prizs,
S., was thus awarded to Mr.. Emerson,
and the second, So, to Mr.. White. Mr..
II. w. Parkhurst was selected referee and
scorer, and at the end of the tournament
vote of thanks was rendered that gentle
man for the admirable manner in which
he had performed his duties. A tabular
statement has been prepared, showing the
games won, balls missed by each player,
number Of winnings, etc., which will ap-
pear next week, together with other men,
ton of interesting features of the tOurna-
ment. Another series of games will be
played soon for the champion cue, and as
several Of the above players are about
evenly matched the tournament will
prove interesting. ~'..

ST. PAUL, March 1.-THE resignation
of General Manager H. E. Sargent is an.

justice to himself, be expected to stand up
under them. Mr.. Sargent's action is
greatly regretted here. ...=..

IN WALL STREET.
Steady Advance of Values-AetiOn OF
the Exchanges.

NEW YORK, September 90, II A. N.-The
stock market opened quite strong, notwith-
standing the fact that the Presidents death
cast gloom over the whole Of Wall street.
In order, however, to testify to the faith in
the stability of the institu-
tions of the country, and probably
with view of showing to the civilized
world the confidence which the American
people feel in their own strength, values
on the Stock Exchange were steadi-
ly advanced, and at this hour
prices are Il to TX per
per cent. higher than at the close yesterday.
In the face of very dull speculation the
entire list participated in the advance, the
trunk lines, Granger and Coal shares, West
ern Union, Denver apd Rio Grande, and Pa
cific stock leading therein.
Before the Committee of Business on the
Stock Exchange the President OF the Board
announced the sad news, and spoke In feel
ing terms of the loss the country had sus=
tanned. 1t was then moved and carried to
suggest that the Governing Committee
should order the Exchange closed, and that
body accordingly convened at half
past ten, and ordered that business be sus-
pended for the day at noon, and that the
Exchange be closed on the day of the fune-
raj. A committee was also appointed to
draft suitable resolutions. The Mining and
other Exchanges are also to be closed.
Brown Brothers this morning sent a con-
tribution of 5000 to the fund for Mrs. Gar
field.

FLASHES FROM CHARLESTON.
How the TIdIngs of the Presidents
Death were Received Another
Strike In Progress.

CHARLESTON, s. c., September 2O.-The
news of the death of the President was
received here so late last night that it was
not generally known until this morning
1t produced great shock in the community
although it was not entirely unexpect-
ed. Aside from the common loss
to the nation, feeling of love and heart
felt sympathy had grown up in the commu-
nifty, engendered by the long and gallant
struggle which the man had made with
death, and deep in the bottom of many
hearts there was lingering hope, fathered
by the earnest wish that he might yet pull
through.
At an early hour in the morning all the
bells in the city commenced tolling and
continued throughout the day. All the
public buildings and most of the stores on
King street displayed the national colors at
half staff. Men had no heart for business,
and the streets presented q deserted ap-
pearance, save when groups of men were
gathered discussing the sad event.
A meeting of the City Council was held
at noon, at which resolutions OF sorrow and
respect were passed, and the Mayor in a
proclamation has called a meeting OF the
citizens, irrespective Of party or class, for
tomorrow night to give expression to the
sorrow of the community. This meeting
will be addressed by both Democratic and
Republican speakers.
The Governor has issued a proclamation
advising the suspension OF business on the
day Of the funeral.
The labor question here is fast assuming
a complicated shape. The Longshoremen's
Union to-day instituted another strike. 1t
seems that they do not demand increased
pay, the pay now being four
dollars a day, but they want to
dispense with the services of
the stevedores and middlemen, as they call
them. With this view, at the beginning of
the season, they appointed two of their
number to act as stevedoFes, at a salary of
one hundred dollars per month each, and
solicited share of the business.
At present there are four steamships here
for cargoes, two of them partially loaded.
Work was stopped on these. The shippers
and consignees say that II the Union per-
sists In an attempt to control the labor
against them, they will send to New York
for men and not employ Union men at all.
The Union is very much divided in its couu-
ellis, and stormy meeting is now In pro-
gress, which may result in compromise.
The present strike seems to be directed
entirely against the stevedores, whose work
the Longshoremen's Union desire to get for
its agents.
