PUBLIC LANDS.
The Right to Declare Forfeited Land Granted
Railroads--Mr. Cobb Interviewed.


RailrOads--Mr. Cobb Interviewed.
WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-The committee on
public lands expect to report number of sepa-
rate bills, when Congress reconvenes, declaring
forfeited the lands granted certain railroad com
panies. The companies most interested are
those in the Northwest and South. The amount
of land involved as reported by the chairman of
the committee, Mr.. Cobb, is between $4,000 900
and 100, 900 acres. The Texas Pacific land
grant is expected to be reported forfeited. This
grant alone involves 4,0O0,O 900 acres. In an in
terview tonight Mr.. Cobb said there was no
question of the right of the government to de-
clare forfeited 25 00 900 acres of land on various
roads,
''The attorneys of the railroads." he con
tinued, twill be given an opportunity to be
heard, but they will not be given too much time.
The Northern Pacific has not complied with the
grant 1t has As, ,096000 acres which ought to be
forfeited In the judiciary committee of last
Congress the vote for its forfeiture was seven to
eight. There are number of railroad men
here now trying to oppose any legislation of the
character contemplated. They have been trying
to influence members of the present Congress.
Some years ago they got the Supreme Court to
declare that the Judiciary did not have the
power to declare land forfeited, and
n0bt nOg they say the take eg'asvs anv pefon
of that kind, because the question is not thor
oughly understood. These same men controlled
the committees from the close of the war up to
the Forty fourth Congress, and they controlled
the last Congress. They had the committees
packed in their favor. 1t is fact that every Re
publican Congress since 1865 favored railroads.
No Justice was done the country or the govern
ment Over 100 coo acres of land can be de-
clared forfeited. Questions of private claims,
which will of course arise, will have to be settled
by future legislation. The government will not
oppose men who in good faith bought lands from
the railroads

What the soudan Is.


A good many people are at present puzzled
over the "Soudan" of which they hear so much.
They are not quite sure if it would betray an
objectionable amount of ignorance for them to
confess to general kind of unacquaintedness
with what this Soudan is, and how far it extends
Would it give these people-who, by the way
need not to be ashamed to confess their ignor-
ance-any kind of satisfactory information to
tell them that .Soudan is the name given
by the Egyptians to all their depend
ent empire stretching from the Third
Cataract for an indefinite distance towards the
lakes, and from the Red sea to the western bor-
der of Darfurl This empire comprises much of
Nubia, all SEMINAR, all Kordofan and all Darfur.
1t is said to be about LOCO miles square, or as
large as India. This vast extent of million of
square miles is said to be inhabited by about
II, ,OO0, 900 people, most of them Mussulmans, and
many of these of exceptional ferocity, fanaticism
and daring Eventually it seems likely that the
English will have to tackle with this wild, fero
cious crowd if at any rate it invade Egypt
which is far from unlikely.

Washington Special.
A friend of General Grants who has just re-
turned from New York, says the ex-President
will probably be confined to his bed for some
time, the chief trouble being the tearing of
muscle in his hip He says that the General is
doing much better financially than public re-
ports give him credit for. He has not been
speculator upon the street for over year. but is
one of the largest stockholders in the banking
and brokerage house of Ward, Grant & Co. He
has had no personal communication with Jay
Gould for over a year. and therein lies an inter
esting story Gould used Grant for some time and
deluded him with the idea thai he was to make
a large fortune by being associated with HIM IN
his enterprises After exploiting to the fullest
extent the use of Grants name, Gould let him
into a number of friendly losses, so that at one
time the ex- President was seriously embarrassed
financially. His friends rallied about him, how
ever, and extricated him from his embarrass-
ment so that he had enough left to invest with
the firm mentioned above. This establishment
is doing we'll, and the General is now in easy cir
cumstances and will probably continue so as he
has foresworn general speculation He is much
interested in the political canvass OF next year,
and it is probable that he will take quite an act

LONDON, Dec. 31.-The Times has the best
authority for stating that China wants peace
and if France will return to her original policy
in Tonquin, and abstain from further hostile
action on the Red river, a pacific agreement is
almost certain. China will abate some of her
first pretensions if France will show a concilia-
tory spirit. The government of China seeing
that the countries well disposed toward her are
desirous of a settlement of the question whether
Tonquin is Chinese dependency, is ready to
recognize accomplished facts and negotiate upon
the basis of the status quo, but the establishment
of this position involves the cessation of further
naval and military movements beyond merely
defensive ones; and above ALL the understanding
that Bachninh must not be assailed. So much
