About 45 per cent. of the land of the
United States remains unsurveyed to this
day-very nearly 1,ooo,oOO0OO acres in all.
The mountainous section of the far West is
included in this billion acres but, on the
other hand, hundreds of millions of acres OF
arabic territory are as free from the touch of
the surveyors chains as when Columbus
landed. In Minnesota alone there remain
100000 acres unsuryeyed. in Dakota
66,G00,000 acres in Montana SO, 1000 900 acres,
and in the Indian Territory 1853, 600 900 acres,
total area of considerably more than twice
as large as that of the thirteen original States,
Clearly there is room for more people in the
United States without danger of anybody
being elbowed into the sea-

Smuggling ON the Rio Grande.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-It is reported to
the Treasury Department that smuggling is
being extensively practiced on the Rio Grande
river and that a difference of opinion exists
between the district attorney for the South
ern district of Texas and the collector of
customs at Brownsville as to the authority
of the officers of the latter to arrest persons
detected in the act of smuggling. The ques-
ton has been referred to the Solicitor of the
Treasury for an opinion. The Solicitor says
he has no doubt that the officers have the
same legal right to arrest offenders that they
have to seize Struggled goods, provided the
arrest is not made on Mexican territory.

OBITUARY.
Suleiman Pasha, the Defender OF Shipka
Pass.


CoNsrANTINoPLE April 81 - Suleiman
Pasha, we'll known for his defense of Shipka
Pass during the late war between Russia and
Turkey, is dead.
Sueiman Pasha, whose desperate effort to
retake Shipka Pass procured him a world
wide renown, is said to have been a most I'M
ostentatious and reserved man. OF his early
life we have little account. He received a
European education, and after having been
stationed for some time in the provinces, he
was called to Constantinople as teacher in a
military school. As such he began to take
part in politics, and was involved in the
palace plot of 1876, and was rewarded with
the rank of pasha. Upon the resumption of
hostilties with Montenegro in 1877 he was
appointed to command the division oper-
ating from the north. He was mex ordered
to take command of the Turkish forces in
Roumelia, after which the battle spoken of
above occurred. For his gallantry he was
made commander-in-chief of the Turkish
army and conducted their closing operations
of the war, among which were his unsuc-
cessful efforts to relieve Plevna. Since the
war lie has taken but little part in politics.
