 | CHICAGO, Sept. l. A Washington
 special says: Judge PaysOn is preparing
 an argument against the transfer of the
 Texas Pacific land grant to the South ern Pacific railroad, to be filed with the
 Secretary of the Interior. The Judge
 has fortified himself pretty thoroughly
 with private and public documents.
 There IS a belief on the part of many
 persons who have watched the course of Mir. Teller, that hewill decide sgainst
 the transfer, and would do so without | any argument. There IS room for plenty
 of doubt about the Southern Pacific
 denied benefit of doubt to the claim ant when corporations. There are about l5,000,O00 acres of land in this grant, and Judge Payson IS determined to se- cure it to settlers if be can. He takes the extreme ground in the case of these grants, and will not admit that in the case of the Northern Pacific railroad there is nothing now that can be done Tn the first place.
