is for a conservator Ior their fathers estate,
alleging that he is not mentally capable
of caring for the same. For some time
past Vallequett has been residing at the
Sisters OF Mercy Hospital. The daughters
allege that the nuns are exerting an undue
influence over their father, and they fear
he will leave the greater portion OF his
estate to the hospital. Vallequett denies
all the allegations, and vigorously asserts
his ability to care for his estate. He was
at one time very wealthy. The estate is
large. His two grown sons in business
here take no part in the suit.

PARIS, August 2S-The Emperor of

The Interests of StOcI<-Raissrs In wild
U.ansIa.

Washington special: Much interest has
been felt in the Department OF the
Interior in the progress OF the suits
entered to test the right of stock
raisers to fence in the public domain. A
decision sustaining the government posi-
ton against this right was yesterday rem
dered in the United States Court at
Cheyenne. In this particular case extern
sive stock-raisers had put 4 wire fence
around eleven sections of the public lands.
The Count decided that this was great
public wrong, and that it was in the ma
ture of public nuisance. The decision
of Chief-J ustice Sever was received with
great satisfaction to-day at the Land Office
This decision, affects very materially
the stock-raising interest in several
of the Western States and Territories.
When Commissioner Mcfarland was
shown the dispatch to-day, he said
that he was very much pleased to have
the position of the office jGdicially sus-
tanned They had insisted that the prac-
tice of inclosing public lands was unlaw.
full and injurious, but their power ended
when they called the attention of the De-
partment of Justice to the facts in each
case. This they had been doing for Il year
or more. He was glad to see that the ac-
ton taken by the Department OF JUS
iie1u iS
suited in a decision for the government
''The interests involved" said Judge Nc
Farland, "are enormous, and Chief-Justice
Sever is to be commended for his courage
and uprightness. Probably the larger
part of the public domain suitable for
grazing is illegally fenced in. Certainly
there are millions upon millions OF acres
so inclosed. The object in fencing is not
so much to keep the owners cattle in as to
keep other peoples cattle out. Thus a
company viii stretch fence on their side
of stream for miles, and thereby keep Il
monopoly Of the water. If other stock
raisers try to break through and get at the
supply, there is trouble ut once. More
over, if a legitimate settler comes into
these inclosed lands he does so at his peril
The stock people are strong and rich, and
among their employees are desperate men,
Aho have no regard for life and law. This
decision will be Of immense service to the
poor and law-abiding settler. 1t gives all
an equal right to herd cattle on the public
domain, and does away with usurpatjon.
The cattle men will undoubtedly appeal
and fight the case to the last, but the
precedent now obtained will be OF great
advantage to the government"

The prosperity of the negroes Of the
South is attributed by the Republican
press to protection. 1t IL said they would
be ruined under free trade; that, in short,
they would have no means Of living ut
all. On the contrary, the Degroes of
Jamaica, the Kansas City Times shows,
have prospered under free trade,
There are about 100000 negroes in the
British West Indies, and of these not far
from 100000 are in Jamaica. The negroes
own $4,000 out of $1,000 pieces of real es-
tate ON the island.
