TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
Opposed to the Nicaragua
Canal.

New York, 6.-The GrGphic'S Wash
ington correspondent says: Congressman
Blount, OF Georgia, who was granted
sixty days at the close of the last session
By The House in which to make q
minority report upoD the bill to incorpo-
rate the Nicaragua canal, will present
the document in day or two. There are
many reasons, in Blount's opinion, why
Congress should not guarantee 10 terest
on an immense amount Of bonds which
the company axis as basis for be-
ginning operations. He meets the
argument argued by the projectors
of the canal that we need g
shorter route by water, from New York
to San Francisco, with counter srgu-
ment that the Panama canal is Already
being built and the beginning of another
at Nicaragua would not stop the opera
tiona Of De Lesseps and that one canal is
enough. The strong point made in the
majority report is that for political res-
sons and for the protection Of Americas
supremacy, the United States should APP
pear as sponsor and protector eff an inter-
oceanic canal company, is answered by
Bleuut by the statement that the canal
would be controlled eventually by its
stockholders. There is noth-
ing to hinder the eitizsus Of
any country from buying a m jority of
its stock when placed upon the market.
and investors would look to their own
government for the protection Of their
interests and capital and such guardi-
anship would naturally be granted. 1t
then would make no difference as to
what government would guarantee in
the beginning the interest Of the bonds,
that government would control the canal
whose citizens had the largest amount of
capital invested in its stock. Blount also
finds some technical objections to the
construction and provisions of the bill.

Remarkable Results n the Red River
Valley.


The magnificent agricultural results
achieved in the Red River Valley IN
Northwestern Minnesota and North
eastern Dakota, have caused such tide
OF emigration to the favored region that
the Government lands which are availa-
Bile under the Presumption. Homestead
and Trec-culture acts are nearly all oc-
cupied. As an instance 81 the immense
influx OF settlers. the Grand Forks land
district. which covers iii townships IN
the northeastern portion Of Dakota. was
established in 1887. and Of the total ~
ij7. l4O acres only 266.26z acres re-
manned untaken on June !, ls6z.
During the first year. 1880. there were
1.O62. z3O acres taken up. and in ISL
there were 1 .l2s, 9iS acres entered upon.
Promising that each settler took as
much land Is he i entitled 70 under me
Government laws. an interesting caicu-
lation Of the increase IN population can
be made
Every settler has right 70 either q
presumption and tree culture claim.
Or the latter in connection with home
stead. each combination amounting 70
$40 acres. But only one trcc-claim can
be taken in a section. hence there were
/ d. 423 II such claims available and taken
IN the district, each representing an in
dividual. The figures. however, indi-
I cate but one-third a the new comcrs'
