that the defendants counsel were afraid to
argue this case because they would come In

to throw the conspiracy at the door of the

fore they were afraid to argue the case. I
want to say to Your Honor that SO far from be-

been very very happy to pursue the argument,
so far as 1 am concerned. But out of
tender consideration to the jury, who
have been kept for six long months

concluded that we would close the argument
with that which Your Honor has just heard.

been said by my Brother Wilson, or by my elo-

Decision Concerning Homestead
Commutations-New Facts About
Homestead Entries.
The commissioner of the general land Of
fee has sent letter to the register and re-
cever at st. Cloud, Mimi, regarding home
stead combinations. The commissioner
holds that under the rulings and practice of
the office, in accordance with the third sec
ton ofthe act of May Il, 1889, person
duly qualified to make homestead entry,
who has settled upon tract of land legally
subject to homestead entry, with the inten
ton to acquire title to the same
under homestead law, and who has re-
sided upon and cultivated the same for the
period of six months, may make his home
stead entry end give notice OF his intention
to make communication proof under Sec. 1901
of the Revised Statues, on the same day, or
he May give notice Of his intention to make
the entry and the communication proof in adj
vance; and after the notice shall have been
posted and published in the manner and for
the period prescribed by act of March 3,
1879, he may legally make the homestead
entry and the Communication on the same
day.
Tbe commissioner of the general land
Office has sent to the land officers ofCrooks-
ton Mimi, q letter in which he holds that
the five years allowed in a homestead entry
dates from entry and not from the COM
nencement of personal residence on the land
entered Tbs decision was rendered on the
appeal of Barney Phillips, from decision
OF the land officers rejecting final proof Of
fersd by him in a homestead entry. The
facts are that Phillips made his entry Nov,
6, 1877, established an actual
bona fde residence on the land March 49,
1878, and had continuously resided thereon
ard cultivated the same up to date of final
proof Jan. IA, 1888, period OF four years,
nins months and twenty-nine days from
date of beginning actual residence and of
FIVE years, two months and eight days from
date of entry 1t was endorsed by the local
land Office upon final proof as follows:
"Reieeted for the reason that the within
testi ony does not show an actual residence
by claimant of five years Phillips,
through his attorney, appealed from this
decision on the ground that
thasame lis contrary TO law and ru rigs of
the general land Office" and urges that, in
asmuch as his residence was established on
the land within six months from date of en-
try, he was not ID default, and his time of
residence counts from the time he filed his
homestead entry. The commissioner says:
t'Y cur action in rejecting the final proof was
erroneous, and the exceptions thereto by
tanned. The proof is satisfactory, ard upon
the payment of commissions due you will
issue final receiptand certificate in the case"

Strange as it may seem, the kingdom
of Italy is ahead of all other nations in
the way of invaluable war ships. The
Tepanto, which was launched the other
day is the first of the four new war-ships
built BIZ the Italians and designed to be
the most powerful ship belonging to any
navy. The Lepsnto is of the same size
as the Italia-l3, 500 tons with engines of
Is, 600 horse power, and turret on her
upper deck protected by DETECTING ar
NOR SO inches in thickness, and made of
new composite iron and steel which, in
the recent experiments ut Spezia, was
found to resist the shot of the 10O-ton
gun. On this citadel the four l0O-ton
guns are mounted en- barbette.
If we compare this vessel with the In
flexible, the most powerful vessel of the
British Navy, we find that the latter is
in every respect inferior to her. The
Infiexible carries, as her whole arma-
ment. four so tons guns in two turrets,
protected by "a inches of armor. If the
side armor of the Inhexible is pierced,
her machinery may be destroyed and
the vessel herself may be sunk. As, in
point of fact, the guns of the Lepanto
can readily pierce "a inches of armor,
the Italian ship could disable the In
flexible, while the later could intlict no
serious or irreparahle injury upon the
Lepanto. In engine power the Inhex-
ible Is very greatly inferior to her rival.
the combined horsepower ofthe engines
of the British ship being only $500 or
less than half that of the Lepanto.

A London letter saws. From recent
parliamentary return it appears that
there are fifteen royal palaces for which
the taxpayers Of England nave to pro-
vide. OF these, however, only enc,
namely Windsor, can really be said TO
be inhabited When the queen is not
there she resides either at Osborne or
Balnoral, which are both her private

huge pile of buildings in Hyde park,
nick cost over 100000 to build, is
only used for a fcw.days at time for
drawing room concerts and other court
gatherings. 1t is not inhabited by any
of the royal princes, for whom special
residences are provided at the public
cost, in addition to their allowance OF
g25 600 year. This year eS 900 has
been expended on keeping up Windsor,
e., coo on that altiquated and perfectly
useless old structure known az ST James
palace, and nearly G1 100 on the stables
of Hampton court palace. But besides
these extra allowances the country Is al
so asked to pay such items as go, 900 foI

there is salary TO functionaTy known
as the "royal rat-cateher," and anothert to
the assistant keeper OF the priGy purse"
The most fragrant job of all is, however,
connected with the Marlborough house,
the residence of the princes Of Wales.
This house belonged for many years to
the Churchill family. It was presented
by grateful nation to the first duke of
Marlborough, and was built at q cost of
$4,000. When the first lease ran
out it was let to another
duke Of Marlborough for e27 a year. a
third lease was obtained in l7S5at a rem
tai of G75, and then the family sublet
the house at $4,000 annually It was
subsequently obtained for the prince of
Wales, and last year cost the country for
ordinary repairs and maintenance over
G2 800. AS houses so in London, such q
sum seems incredibly extravagant.
1t is items such as the above, which
occurring every year in the estimate,
give point to the attacks Of advanced
radicals like Bradlaagh and Labouchere.
The working classes in England now
read the papeTslto q man, and, moreover
every householder and lodger who pays
gl0 ayear rent possesses vote. Con-
senuently there is a strong feeling gre
dualiy springing mp among the people
who are so soreiy taxed, againstsne ex-
travagant amount Of the roysl aliowan
ces. Whenever, for examrie, royal
princeliRg be he ever so unimpOrlant,
crosses from Dover to Calais, he requires
a special steamer, at d cost to ihe c0un-
try Of e40, the ordinary fare being $3.50.
Many persons are also not little dis
gusted at the allowance Of 81 600 to be
made to the duke of Edinburgh for his
visit to Russia. As a bfother-in-law Of
the car, he would have had to 20 at any
rate, and at his own expense. As he
goes to represent the queen, all expenses
fold what was thought sufficient BY tho
French republic.

At various points along the Union Pa
cific railroad where the only way to Sc
cure good water has been to haul it on
the cars, artesian wells have been sunk
and the problem easily solved. In those
alkali plains where every pool of water
was little less than lye, and where moth
Ing would grow but sage brush, some of
these wells now give an abundant sup
ply, clear and wholesome as that from a
mountain spring. At Rock Springs the
company still hauls the water by train to
supply population of about 1880 peo-
Pile. A well has been sunk 800 feet, but
the water is very poor. Most of the
wells are from 25O to 9OOfeet deep. One
at Table Rock he's failed to give whole
some water at depth of 1 $50 feet, but
these are exceptional cases.
