Gov. Cornell's Message. /.

Albany, Jan. 1.-THE senate met ut
noon and Governor Cornell sent in his
message. The governor says: "The
competition of railroads, the enlarge
ment of Canadian canals and the devel.
opment of the Mississippi river route are
important considerations with reference
to the future capacity Of canals to earn
the necessary revenue for maintenance,
If added to these there should be q small
Ter foreign demand for breadstuffs or q
reduced production in the western states
1t is plain to be seen that under the pre-.
sent constitution the usefulness of canals
may be seriously imperilled, if not sus.
pended, until relief be reached through
an amendment to the constitution. In
view of the time required for the process
your consideration Of pending PROPOSE.
tons for Il constitutional amendment is
suggested.

Star Route Cases.

Washington, San. 1.-THE star route
cases came up to-day. Bliss conducted
the prosecution. All the accused were
present. Bliss stated the position taken
by the government in the cases, and
made severe arraignment of the meth
DDS pursued by the defendants in trans
ferring the property from one party to
another just before the award of con-
tracts, SO that one piece of land worth a
few thousand dollars would represent
bonds to an amount of nearly 100000,
and said under the present law the post
master general was absolutely powerless
to prevent such frauds. At the conclu-
sion of Bliss address the first case was
calied-that against Cobell, Minnox
Dickson.

ed to be vaccinated, but to adorn the
shapely arm of prima donna with
plebeian scab, would simply be outrage
GUS. "Where then?" was the serious
point, and after several days discussion,
Miss Abbott and her husband decided
that the prima donna's left leg should
receive the vaccine. Singularly enough
the physician applied the virus above the
knee, whore the large muscles of the hip
are easiest affected. Last Friday even
ing while playing at Burlington in the
mad scene from Lucia, the immense au-
dience and the situation generally caused
her to forget that she had vaccination
and she permitted herself to be carried
away by the emotions of the scene. That
night there was great Inflammation and
soreness in the damaged limb, and when
the company arrived here her condition
was such that it was deemed best to re-
main in the city and consult medical
men. BY course of treatment, lasting
oil day, the limb was so far restored to
it's normal condition as to allow them to
proceed to Louisville. The doctors say
it was decidedly bad looking leg when
they took hold OF it in the morning.

THE DULUTH DISTRICT.
How Wicked Minnesotians Tralnple on Il
Pre- a-EmptiOn Law.

How Wicked Minnesotians Trainple on the
Pre-Emption Law.
Washington, Jan. Misrepresentation
of quite serious character have recent
ly been made to the commissioner of the
general land office with reference to the
abuse of the pre.emption law in the
northern part Of Minnesota, especially
in the Duluth land district. It is stated
that thousands upon thousands of acres
of land have been located in this district
for purely speculative purposes. under
the pre.emption law. The design and
spirit of the pre-emption law is to allow
claims to be taken for actual settlement,
and there are most rigorous provisions
in the law to prevent lands taken under
it from being transferred from the actual
occupant or settler. These provisions it
seems, have been utterly ignored,
while there has been systematic
organization under which thous-
sands of fraudulent pre.emptlon claims
have been made. 1t is said, among 9TH
er things, that the crews of vessels and
steamboats, coming into Duluth from
down the lakes have been taken. and af-
ter an absence Of q day or two from Du.
llth. have come back and made the nee.
essary oaths for pre-emption location.
The locations have been made in the
m ost cases without the slightest improve.
ment being made on the premises, as
provided by law. It is also said that
upon the extreme northern boundary Of
the district, and Immediately opposite Ia
the dominion territory, where the exten.
sive surveys have been made during the
past season, the land is now being taken
by people coming from tie
other side of the line, and moi
citizens of the United States. The COM
missioner OF the general land office has
addressed letter to the land office al
Dubuque calling attention to these facts
and asking an explanation. 1t does moi
seem possible that ali these abuses could
have occurred without the knowledge o
the land Office there. 1t ls expected that
the land office will send its special agen,
to make o thorough examination of thil
whole matter and should he absolutely
develop the facts as stated to the lant
Office there will be music along th,
entire line. and general roofing out o
large portion of the entries that hay
been made Mt that Office during the pas
eighteen months.
