Secretary Folger to-day declined to re-
ceive personal securities as security for

The deposit of United States bonds at

! reserving to the department., however,
to control the amount of such deposits so
as to secure the government. This decis-

In cases of appeal from decisions of reg
listers and receivers of land Offices to the

rule. In a case decided by the department
of the interior to-day, the secretary holds
that the pre-emption claimant failed to
show priority with former pre-emptor
upon whose filing he based his claim, and
that as the tract involved was offered land
it did not come within the rule laid down
by the department in the case of Treph VS..
the Northern Pacific Railroad company.
