IeneIug the Ranges

.Atthe recent National Stockmeh's
convention in Chicago, the committee
on resolutions presented an extended
report on the question Of fencing
ranges on government lands. IL set
forth that the obtaining of permanent
tenure of these lands in some legal
form Is of the greatest Importance to
the future Of stock raising; that these
lands are largely unfit for agriculture
and are not reclaimable by irrigation
ON account Of the broken surface aud
lack of running streams: that the
Colorado and Wyoming stockmen
have 500, ono, G0 invested in the bust
ness, adding 10 the taxable wealth Of
the country and lowering the price Of
beef, and that they would welcome
the opportunity to buy or rent these
lands for term Of years; that n conf
mittee W to Washington to suggest
stock legislation, and that they lie in
structed to endeavOr to secure the pass
age Of n law permitting the rental to
stock owner who are actual occupants
Of grazing lands between the Missouri
river and the Pacific coast for the
longest period possible and ut the low.
est obtainable rate; such rental not to
interrupt or suspend the operation Of
existing laws for presumption or

ject to entries. The committee were
instructed before submitting such law

NEWS GATHERING.
The General manager OF the Western
Associated Press Talks.

Associated Press Talks.
WASHINGTON CRY, March 8. VIM Henry
Smith, of the Western Associated Press was
before the senate COMMITTEES on post-offices
and post-roads, and denied generally the
charges made against that association by
previous witnesses. He denied that it was
in any sense monopoly; that it (the Western
Union) Disseminated in rates in its favor, or
that it was any just cause OF complaint thai
every newspaper that wanted to could not
get into it. Mr.. Smith produced copies of
the associations contracts with the Western
Union which he handed to the committee
on the agreement that they were not to be
made public. An extended colloquy took
place between Senator Wilson and Mr..
Smith, on the subject of the constitutional
right of the government to Interfere with
private business. Mr. Wilson took the
ground that if he bought a newspaper con-
tanning the Associated Press dispatches, that
he owned that paper and its contents, and
could do with it as he saw
fit. Mr.. Smith thought not;
that he could use it for his personal use, but
could not reproduce Mr.. Wilson was not
prepared to admit that any business affect
ing public affairs stood in the same relation
with the government and the people as other
private business. Mr. Smith thought it did
not differ in the matter of property right.
Chairman Hill endeavored to show that the
news disseminated through the channels of
tho Associated Press was subjected to
censorship, but Mr.. Smith denied that
anything of the sort existed. Mr.. Hill cited
the non-publication by Associated Press
papers Of Representative Anderson's postal
telegraph speech, which was delivered in the
house On Saturday last, to show that the
Associated Press agents had it in their power
to send or suppress news inimical to the in
terests of the Western Union company Mr.
Smith thought that Mr.. Anderson's
speech contained old material, and
was not of general interest, and
perhaps for this reason was not
generally published. Mr. Smith read
kilograms from Superintendent Clowry, of
the Western Union company, and from Mr..
Somerviile, of New York, showing that to
carry the United Press dispatches to The
Marquette editor who was before the COM
mittce, would necessitate the use of a special
wire and an additional wire, and hence could
not be carried so cheaply as if dropped" by

The Postal Teleerapl,.

WASHINGTON CITY, March Ex-senator
Hill, chairman of the senate committee on
postoffices and post-roads, says that the MEM

ing postal telegraph bill; that all the evi-
dence necessary for the purposes Of the COM
nittee had been obtained, and that the only
additional hearing would be to those persons
who had expressed q desire to go before the
committee. William Henry Smith, of the
Associated Press, will probably be heard on
Friday. His examination will be confined to
an explanation of the testimony already
given to the effect that the Western Union

form a close corporation to the disadvantage

The Troubles Of yyinnipag.

WINNIPEG, March 6.-The farmers con-
vention has opened here with delegates pres
ent from every city, town and municipality
in the province A committee was imme
diately appointed to wait on the government
and ascertain if it would cooperate with the
farmers in obtaining their rights. The COM
mittee had a conference with the PREMIER
who assured them that the government
would do all in its power to aid them in
accomplishing these great ends. This state
ment was reported to the convention. In
order to silence all false reports that the con-
vention will favor annexation OF secession
one Of the first things to be done will be to
take action on q resolution swearing al
legiance to tue crown. 1t is rumored that j.
D. Cameron, a secessionist, will oppose this
resolution, and move that the convention de-
clare in favor of secession.
