| The Public LANDS.
| WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-DuriDg the
| past summer the Commissioner General
OF the Land Office has had in the States
and Territories where there are large
quantities of unsoid public lands, a
| large force OF special agents engaged in
| the detection and investigation of fraud
ulent entries under the pre-emption,
! homestead and timber culture acts. The
| reports of these agents reveal such
condition of facts that in all probability
| the Secretary of the Interior, in his an
nual report, will recommend the repeal
not only of the pre-emptiOn law, but of
| the tree culture act also. Among the
considerations which 1t is believed Will
| be urged for this repeal are: First, that.
practically, an actual settler can get a
i title to his farm as soon under the home
stead act as under the pre-emption law.
aud that there is no need of two me-
thods of obtaining the same object.
| While these laws remain, settler may
| take advantage of each and acquire
title to 4S0 acres of the public land by
paving cash for 160 acres, and taking
the remainder under the homestead and
timber culture acts, a quantity which, 1t
| is suggested, is greater than one settler
should be permitted to obtain on such
easy terms; that in the present condi-
ton of affairs, both the pre-emption
and timber culture law offer a premium
to dishonesty, as is clearly shown by
the great number of fraudulent entries
which have been detected.
The Wellington Strikers
SAN FRANCIsCo, Sept. 28..-The E;rdw-
iReF had an interview with a Wellington
coal mine striker, who came down on
the Sardonyx. He denies that the strike
is over. Agents of the company, he states
have been starving to replace the
strikers, but the men claim without sue
cess. In answer to their advertisement
for 100 miners wanted, there have
been over 800 applications, but as they
were not experienced miners the firm de
Clined to engage many OF them. Twen-
ty seven have been engaged so far. An
effort to get crew of Italian miners
from Mount DiRblo was unsuccessful.
The IN at first thought they could
send Chinese to work in the place of
white men, but the laws of British Col
umbia are strict in preventing Chinese
from digging, although they may carry
coal.
The Managers agree
SAN Francisco, Sept. 26.-Railroad
managers of lines west OF the Missouri
river at today's meeting practically
closed their labors by the adoption of an
agreement the substance of which Is as
follows: Portland and San Francisco to
be common points, taking the same rates
to and from the east. The Northern Pa
I ciffc is 20 make the same through rates
to San Francisco via Portland that other
roads make to San Francisco direct, and
! the latter are to make the same through
rates to Portland via San Francisco that
the Northern Pacific makes to Portland
