counts from the main land state that
the conduct of the men who attacked
the Chinese was oowardly and brutal.
The white men who had the alterca.
tion with the Chinese were beaten
off with picks. At night, when the
Chinese were In bed, the camp was
attacked by crowd of white men,
armed with clubs, who struck down
the Chinese as they rushed out of
their cabins In the dark. Nine were
left on the ground for dead. The
mob then set fire to the houses and
decsmped. As the white men left
some Chinese hastened back to
the camp and tried to put out
the fire, but there being no water every.
thing was burned up. Vie Took died
In the morning The Chinese sent to
Dyton for wagons to bring the mur-
dered man and waunded to town,
there being no white doctor willing tc
assist the Chinese. The Chinese doc
tor from Yale says three more of the
wounded will die. Nine Chinese had
frightful wounds about the head, In
one case the brain oozlng. The

Texas School and Railroad Lands.

Special Dispatch to Tue BEE.
AUSTIN, Tex, May 17.-Acting
State Treasurer w. B. Wortham
brought up an important question
conooYning a class of lands involving
millions of acres and reaching pur.
chasers all over the country. He re-.
fused tender of over $50, 900 made
by various parties for lands purchased.
He explains that certain railroad cor.
porations holding land certificates
made surveys Of alternate school
sections and had fled notes taken.
Now, parties claiming that these sur
veya were not valid, come forward and
propose to purchase the lands under
what Ia known as the $50 cent law"
and have rendered full payments
for the lands they desired, Including
alternate school sections, with railros sd
sections. The last legislsture having
declared that questionable surveys by
railroads for the benefit of school
lands are valid, Mr.. Workman refused
to include them as 50-oent lands. He
offered to receive money ON railroad
sections but not on alternate school
lands. The parties represented by
Judge Hancock as their adviser made
their tenders for both kinds of lands
in bulk, refusing to divide the ques.
tion, and thus raising an important is-
sue with the state.

sternly denouncing any more of His

without being misunderstood, that the
Irish race cannot be bulldozed Into
slavery by tho bayonets of England

hope the Irish bishops and clergy will
have backbone enough to resent this

THE u. p, LAND GRANT.

Special Dispatch to THE BHE.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE secre-
tary of the interior delivered an opin-
Ion upon the question submitted by
the commissioner of the general land
Office regarding the propriety of with
dra wing from entry and settlement
cdd sections of land within the In.
demnity limits of the Northern
Pacific railroad. The commissioner
was of the opinion that the recent
decisions by the secretary had tended
to reverse the uaual practice of the
land ofii 20 In such cases: Namely, to
withdraw lands comprised within the
granted and indemnify limits upon
filing of the map of definite location.
In his decision the secretary denies
this construction is to be
placed upon his former decisions
and holds the matter is open for
consideration of the department.
After quoting. granting acts of 1864
and 1870, the secretary calls attention
to the facs that they do not provide
either specifically or generally for OK.
ecstive withdrawal of land within
either the granted or indemnity limits.
The power of the department to with.
draw granted lands without such d.
rection is beyond question, says the
secretary, and authority to withdraw
indemnity lands must follow and In
fact such authority has been repeat
edly exercised. The company claim
that the acts operate as absolute TO the
exclusion of the right of entry in both
granted and indemnity lands from the
moment of fixing the route of definite
locator. This is undoubtedly trac
of granted lands, but to indemnity
lands tho law gives no title, but a
right to acquire title by selection
bsaad on q deficiency In the granted
lands.
The acts place the whole subject
under the direction of the secretary
of tho interior, and 1t must be held
that the power resides In that depart.
ment TO sdjudge when, In what man
ner, aud to what extent the statute
exe-cisea such control and direction,
30 as to give to the public, as well as
the particular grantee, all the rights
and privileges granted By law.
The secretary says: II cannot shut
my eyes to the fact that vast areas of
lands (public but for right selectiop)
lying within the indemnity limits are
barred to settlement, and that the
area of arabic lands open to settle
ment Is not great when compared with
the increasing demand, and Is rapidly
diminishing. II the company negleots
to make its selections, and takes a6-
vantage of the withdrawal heretofore
made, or that may be made
hereafter, TO withhold lands within
the indemnity limit from the opera.

her farmers larger crops this year
than, perhaps, ever before. In Ore
gon aud Washington Territory about
$4,000 Immigrants have settled,
coming principally from eastern, mid.
die and coast states. All cities and
towns of Oregon and Washington
Territory are greatly improved, busi.
ness hourishing and there is plenty of
ready money, Crop prospects of
western Oregon and eastern Washing
ton Territory are unusually encourag-
Ing,
He estimated that upwards of
2S 900 tons of grain will be garnered
in eastern Washington and 40, 600 In
eastern Oregon. This is q large In
crease over any previous year. The
Oregon and California line will be
completed In thirteen months, giving
railroad connection with the great
lakes and St. Paul to San Francisco
via the Northern Pacific and the Ore.
gon and California systems. The
completion Of the latter road will Af-
feet somewhat ocean steamships. The
Oregon Railway Navigation company's
business Increased 90 much that the
facilities of the latter line have been
outgrown. The towns of Seattle and
New Tacoma, on Puget sound, have
njoyed an extra growth recently, and
threaten to rival San Francisco by
reason Of the grain products and Iron
resources. The report further states
that Willard was pleased will the re.
sources of Montana. At Helena and
Butte City Thousands of tons of ore
are on the dump waiting shipment via

elsewhere. Bate City has nine smelt.

of the construction is 30 far advanced
as to ensure the completion of the
road by the eLd of August. Mer

holding the shipment of fall supplies
until the completion of the Northern
Pacific road, Tho tracks ore in first
rate condition and trains can be run
as fast as forty Eve miles an hour. At
st. Paul and Minneapolis real estate
has advanced 10 some cases as high as
800 per cent, owing to large purchases
of land by the Oregon and Trans.
Continental Company for terminal
purposes for the Northern Pacific
trains. In conclusion, Willard stated
that there Is every prospect that the
road Is about to enter upon an era of
uninterrupted prosperity.
