GOVERNM MENT LAND TITLES,
Bona Eide Settlers Not Affected !
 Recenf CourE Recfsfnns

l Hona Eide Settlers Not Affected by Recent Court Decisions.
 | WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The recent opin
 ion of the United States Supreme court as
 serting that the title of all lands where pat. ents have not actually issued, including lands sold by the Northern Pacific railway company, is still in the government is l thought by officials of the general land office to affect mainly the large purchasers of the
 land for grazing and speculating purposes
 The bona fide settler who is living on his 16O
 acres of land will not be affected even if it is
 shown that the railroad company from whom
 he purchased the land has no title to the
 land. The law expressly protects the bona
 hde settler, but the mere speculator or pur- chaser if it should prove that the railroad has not and cannot get title to the land will
 have to suffer the loss of the money in- vested unless some redress can be obtained from the railroad company. In a large num-
 Der of instances the land grant roads have delayed getting out patents to lands to which they were entitled in order to keep the title still in the government and thus avoid the payment of State and country taxes. When good claim exists on the part of the railroad company patents can is sue and then the title having passed from the government the company can make legal transfer of the land, but if in the event of the land office refusing to grant patent the purchaser of the land will be left without remedy, except against the company In the case of the Northern Pacific the commis- sloner of the general land office has ever since he came into office refused to issue any patents, all on the ground that the question of the forfeiture of the Grant war was now pending before Congress

 LONDON, Dec. f6.-The Req ~.-
 has issued an apI3pesl for the relief of ths sut'
 fering Servian and Bulgarian troops during
 the unusually severe winter weather now
 prevailing in the Balkans. Generous re- sponses are being made and the society Is forwarding supplies from it's various head quarters via Sofia and Belgrade.
 It is officially announced that the reports of fighting between the armies of Servia and Bulgaria since the artnistice was agreed up on have been grossly exaggerated. Moth ing worth calling an engagement has taken place. No material change is is noted to- night in the eastern situation except the completion of arrangements for congress of the powers at Vienna, early in the approach ing year to settle the terms of peace and to amend the Berlin treaty so that it will core spond with the altered state of things existing now. It is suspected that no dis armament of the contending principalities will be effected until this congress has met and formulated it's decisions. In other words the efforts of the conference of ambassadors and the delimitation commissioners will be hardly more than perfunctory; and a quasi belligerent attitude very e1hausting and ex pensive to both countries will prevail for months to come.
 It is understood that Lord Salisbury will not resign. but will present bill dealing with Irish matters. The contest between him and MT. Gladstone for supremacy will be fought out on this question. If the measure brought forward by the Tories falls short of a local Parliament for Ireland MT. Gladstone will move the substitution of bill framed by him providing for such a concession The vote on this proposition will reveal the fact to whether MT. Gladstone will receive from the Parnellites sufficient following to balance the defection in the Liberal ranks by the extreme Wings going over to the Present indications are that f this programme is carried out MT.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-A queer document was laid before the Senate to-day in the shape of a memorial from M. Krauskof, of Brooklyn, urging that the government shall establish a newspaper at every frst-class postoffice in the United State to be published at public expense and for public use. Such papers to be for the publication free, of ali advertisements of the people and of the opinions of the people, who may choose to avail themselves of the columns of the paper. The memorial is to set forth that the only tyranny existing in the country is the tyranny of the press; that the press is a powerful dynasty and unless this disposition is checked and overthrown it will subvert the govern ment. The only power competent to grap- pie with the tyrannical press is the govern ment, and he urges that government papers be established. The memorial covers thirty six pages of legal cap paper and the opinions and grievances of the memorialist are set forth in the minutest detail.
