of the interior has confirmed the action OF jhe
commissioners of the land office. L. res tor ng
to the public domain the tract OF land in south
ern California at the intersection of the Texas
Pacific and Southern Pacific railway grants.
The secretary in his decision holds that the
Southern Pacific grant included only such
lands as were not covered by other railroad
grants and therefore could not include the
tract in question which formed a part of the
forfeited Texas Pacific grant. The case had

ELECTION FOR STATE TREASURER.

ELECTION FOR STATE TREASURER.
PHILADELPHIA, November 3,-The election
to-day passed off very quietly The weather
was clear and cold, with gusty wind blowing:
The only state office to be filled was that of
state treasurer. Mathew Stanley Quay was
the republican and Conrad B. Day the demo-
cralic candidate. Berr Spanglar ran on the
prohibition ticket and VIM. d. Whitney as the
greenDack-labOr nominee. Last year Blaine
had a plurality of 81 900 and in 1888, when the
last state treasurer was chosen, the republican
candidate was elected by a majority of
q, 900. Comparisons tonight will be made
with the Fots of 1888. The interest in the
Philadelphia county election conferred on the
contest for sheriff, w. Elmond Rowan being
the republican and Dallas Sanders the demo
cratic candidate. Rowan was opposed by the
citizens committee of one hundred, which has
been so prominent in local elections for some
years past on the ground that he was repre-
sentative of machine politics." Rowan, IN
1876 was defeated for sheriff by Wright, demo
crat, by 1854 votes although the Hayes electors
on the same day received 16, 900 majority.
