A Crank Commissioner.

According to the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Times, Land Commissioner
Sparks has formed the opinion that no settler
can avail himself of the advantages of both the
homestead and presumption laws. The CORES
pondent assumes to reflect the commissioner
views in the following language. "In 1882
congress passed the homestead law, by which a
settler could get a farm for nothing. lis pro-
vision could be taken advantage of by one per-
son only once. 1t was an alternative for the
pre-emption law. The laws show that it was
clearly the intention Of congress to afford q set
tier a choice of the two laws. For years past
it has been the custom to allow a settler to take
advantage OF both laws. After having secured
l60 acres by the homestead law, he was permit
ed to take 100 more under the presumption law.
This is twice as much land as congress ever
meant to give a settler, or sell him under the
terms Of the presumption law. A case involving
this construction of the law has not yet come
before the present commissioner, but Mr.. Sparks
has examined the law and declares that the
practice of the law has been in violation of 1t,
and as soon as a case of this kind comes before
him he will hold that a man who has once avail
ed himself of the privileges of the homestead or
the presumption law cannot avail himself Of the
privileges of the other"

1St. Petersburg dispatch. ]


The war feeling here is overwhelmingly strong.
The Car and Czarina and the members Of the
royal family attended a concert at the.Grand
Theater, in this city, for the benefit of invalid
soldiers The presence OF the Gar aroused the
greatest enthusiasm. The national anthem was
advanced to the front OF his box and bowed his
thanks he was greeted with q hurricane OF
cheers. The ovation was continued outside tho
theater. and the royal party was followed by
crowds of people to the gates OF the palace.
The Minister of War, speaking to a circle of
officers. said he had the assurance or the Gar
that the Russian troops might advance, but that
they would never retire.
Russia continues her naval and military prep
arations with great energy. Admiral Shestakon
has ordered all torpedo boats to be sent to the
Baltic and the Black Sea. Torpedoes have just
been sunk at the canal binding St Petersburg
with the sea. Cronstadt, St Petersburg, and tho

every movement in case OF an attack by the En-
glsh fleet The Russian feet has been In q
thorough state OF adiness since the I'd OF April.
There is great activity at Odessa. 1t is mani
tested not only by the garrison but also by other
troops stationed there Numerous battalions OF
Cossacks are reviewed every day. The garrison
at Kertsch Is ENGAGED night and day in hasten
ing the completion of the works at that point,
and the Touring mills are worked at their full
capacity in the preparation OF provisions
The Gar has informed both the Vienna and tho
Berlin Cabinets that he does not desire war.
The English demand for the retirement OF Gen
Komarofs forces from their present position
will, however, not be acceded to, since IL IS evil
dent that the advance of the Afghans the
view of the matter, entertained by Russia, Is
also held by Austria and Germany. These pow
ers support tho Russian Government In this ex.

Con. Komarofr,s Report.

The Official Messenger. OF st. Petersburg
publishes the following telegram from Gen.
komaroff, dated April l: "On the 10Th OF March
our detachment approached Dashkapn. When
near the bridge we saw an fntrenchment occu-
pied by Afghans. In order TO avoid a onfict
stationed my troops five versts "a little over
three miles, from the Afghan position. Neeoti-
atoms with Capt. Yate Ia member OF Sir Peter
Lumsden's forcel commenced on the 26th- When
no intention OF attacking them they daily
drew nearer to our camp On the 9th
they dispatched against company OF ours
covering q accommodating party three companies
with a gun and some cavalry. Next day, their
audacity aud arrogance increasing, they occu-
pied a high and commanding position on the
left flank of our camp, made intrerchments, and
placed a cavalry post in the rear OF our line and
a picket within gunshot OF our fort On the
18th | sent the Afghan commander an energetic
summons to evacuate the lett bank OF the
Kushk, and the right bank Of the Murghab as
far a. the mouth OF the kushk. He replied
glsh, he would not retire beyond the
Kusbk. L then sent him a private letter
couched In amiable terms. On the S0th, in or

expecting pacific issue bat fire from the At

larger force being ON this side, and that hav-
ing large quantities of provisions. number
of half starved Indians haye joined them. So
far as can be learned Riel has $50 half
breeds and between 800 and 600 Indians,
including Sioux from the Prince Albert
district. The insurgents have forty Win
chesters, twenty Sniders, and SEQ rounds Of
Snider ammunition, captured in the Duck
Lake fight, and large number of sbotguns.
They will have the advantage of heavy
woods in which to fight unless shelled out
by artillery, and, with their knowledge of
this style of warfare, may prove formidable
foes.
They are determined, il is said, TO fight
to the bitter end, several of them having ex-

Butler, Of South Carolina, and Edmunds.

One day last year in the executive
session the sour-minded Elmunds took
occasion to make bitter and CALLING
attack upon certain South Carolina
official for his conduct in court in try
ing one of the election cases brought
by the Department of Justice Ed
munds was so savage in his denuncia-
ton of the man that Butler felt called
upon to demonstrates Edmunds would
accept no explanation. Butler plainly
limited that the official was under the
influence of liruor, and therefore not
responsible. Edmcnds refused to lis
ten to Butler in the debate. A moment
after the subject was changed. Ed
munds left the seat and began walking
up and down behind the desks. But-
Ter got up and walked up TO the Yer
mont Senator. He said: "Edmunds.
I can say to you here what did not
care to say to you in the debate. That
man was drunk, and You are the last
man in this world TO criticise another
for anything done by him under the in
fiuence of liquor Edmunds looked at
him moment and then said in his
mildest manner: @Why didn't you tell
me this before?' He took great pains
after that to avoid any further criticism
of the South Carolina oificial--Er.
