Dining With Queen Victoria.


A recent guest of the queen at Wind.
sor Castle has "written up" the ceremo-
ny OF quasi private dinner at the royal
abode. Victoria never resides at Wind
sor for more than four months out of
each year, and during that period she
livesin real state. At Balmoral and Os-
borne her habits are more free and
easy, so that the routine of court exist
ence cannot be seen to advantage save at
Windsor Castle. An invitation to dine
with her majesty and spend the night at
the castle is equivalent to command;
with whose execution nothing but death
may intefere. On arriving at the door
invited guests are received by the pages
of the chamber, who conduct them to
their respective rooms,as they are indica-
ted on q plan provided in advance. The
visitors rooms are spacious, comfortable
and supplied with all modern conven-
iences." Those who come to the royal
table must do SO in full dress, and the
preparation occupies some little time.
Soon after o'clock the visitors find their
way into the grand corridor, where they
indulge in conversation with each other
and await the queen, who enters, follow
CN ny tuo IAuCcSS DCdCT1Ce, ABOUT S:OU
Her majesty speaks a word of greeting
to each of her guests, and then all 90 to
dinner. The private dining-room is
rather small, CHEEKY and very attractive.
The meal is always very good, both in
makeup and service, in the former re-
spect partly, perhaps, because the name
of the cook who is responsible for each
dish is written opposite to it on the
menu. Champagne and claret are usu-
ally provided. Various footmen, pages
and other servants are in attendance
about the room, and John Brown in full
Highland dress, is stationed behind the
queens chair. The queen leaves the
room with the ladies, and the gentlemen
follow in two or three minutes, after
which there. is q half hour of personal
intercourse in the corridor, the queen
entering into conversation with each Of
the guests. The queen then withdraws
and the. visitors pass the even-s
ing smoking, at billiards, or as they
please. Her majesty always breakfasts
in private, and the visitors depart in the
morning without meeting her. -.

NEWS OF THE DAY.
Ne,us from Washington.

Representative Hazleton of Wisconsin has
introduced in the house bill to establish a
commission of three, before which all pri-
to be adjudicated and sent to the general
land commissioner for final action. The
surveyor general is now vested by law with
that power in addition to his other duties,
but his time is SO taken up that he has not
within several years examined and reported
upon more than 100 cases. 1t is estimated
at the Interior department that at the pres
ent rate Of progress it would take 800 years
to settle all the private land cases known to
be in dispute, and hence the necessity for
some tribunal before which cases can be dis
posed Of Officials in the general land office
are busy preparing list of cases now on
hand and estimates of the probable number
likely to be presented. New Mexico, where
nearly all land is in dispute, furnishes more
than three fourths of the cases presented to
the department for settlement, and are gen
orally most intricate and vexatiOus claims to
settle The department officials are hearth
w in favor of some such commission as is
suggested in this bill, and when the matter
comes before congress much light will be
shed upon the subject by the statistics now
in the course Of preparation.

Regarding Minnesota Indians and
Their Reservation.

1t is understood that the Indian affairs
committee of the house in the course of a
few days will take final action upon Mr..
various reservations in Minnesota and the re-
moval Of the Indians to the White Earth
reservation. The Indian department has
made a recommendation to the committee
which Mr.. Washburn resists, that is that the
thirteen townships withdrawn from the pub
lie domain by executive order III 1870 shall
be added to the present White Earth reserva-
ton Mr. Washburn claims that
the original reservation has sufficient
are to give to each In
dian the amount Of land allotted to him rn-
der the provisions of his bill, and that there
is no use in tying up 800, 900 or 400, 900 acres
in the very heart of the state, when it is not
required, especially as under the pro-
visions of the bill the Indians get the bene-
fit of all these abandoned reservations from
the sales thereof. Mr.. Washburn assured
the secretary of the interior that if this rec
concentration was persisted in by the de-
partnlent and the committee he should not
press the bill. He also stated that he pro-
posed to amend the bill whereby not more
than ten per cent. of the land, valuable
chiefly for pine or other timber, should be
offered for sale in any one year He thinks
this provision and the other provisions that
all lands shall first be appraised and ninety
days notice given before being offered for
sale and that the lands shall be offered in
forty acre tracts and not sold for less than
Sl.25 per acre, would afford all the necessary
protection against the lald being taken by
Spectators in judgments, and the Indians
being dcfrauded ofthe actual value of the
lands
