CHICAGO, January 20.-The Stale Su.
preme Court to-day decided that the law ere
ating the Probate Courts Of Cook and La
Sale counties was special legislation AID
therefore unconstitutional and that the Pho
bate Courts of those counties are illegal and
void. THIS decision Is far more reaching IL
its scope than appears on its surface. The
Cook county Probate Coura hss been In OPP
Grafton four years. by this decision all the
wills 1t has passed ON are void, the property
that has come In review before 1t Is without
title. The eastern and other capitalists and
insurance companies that have loaned money
on 10 are ut erly without security, the titles
being clouded. Divorces obt aimed there are
illegal, and persons married after being d.
vorced are bIgamists. The decision creates
intolerable confusion, and lawyers express
grave doubts as to whether the Legislature
can remedy the evil, or whether q constitu-
tionai amendment could be drawn which
would be valid and would settle the difficult
ties that now arise.

Inquiry toto Puoiic Land Laws.

WASHINGTON, January 20.-The resolu-
lion introduced by Senator Blair on Wednes-
day, directing the public lands committee
10 inquire into The operation of The land
laws and report any legislation needed To
improve them, Is intended by ils author to
cover the matter Of land grants to railroads
also. II included among Others the North
ern Pacific land grants, and the decision of
Secretary Schurz, which affirmed that COM
pany's right to the land granted IL after III"
time specified by the grants had expired.
Mr.. Blair is member Of the subcommittee
on public lands, which has been instructed
TO inquire into the working Of the general
land Office here and The necessity for giving
1t more room. In the course If its inquiry
the subcommittee obtained information
which leads them TO believe that some of the
land laws are defective, and that some If the
land granted to railroads has been fnrf-ted
and now belongs to the Government. The
Blair resolution was To enlarge the scope Of
this inquiry so rs to include matters pertain
ing to the lands and the disposition Of them.
