The Marquis of Salisbury made
speech at the Lord Mayors banquet,
at the Guildhall, London, and referr-
ing to the Burmese troubles he said
that the action of the received the
approval of all the greet powers. Re-
garding the Balkan conference, he
foretold that its decision would be
aversion to English views. However.
this country, he SAID, was not primar-
ly interested in the dispute. He pre-,
dicted that the Conference would end
In failure, and said he thought that
II the status quo ante were restored,
the Bulgarians would take Greece
and Servia into their confidence and
Turkey would then have to combat
the three powers instead of one,
Concerning the struggle Of the politi-
cal parties in Great Britain he could
only say, as the meeting was non-
partisan one, that he hoped that GER
tain doctrines would not develop a
class hatred that might lead to civil
war and the ultimate downfall OF
England.

AVALANCHE: We hear that the
Black Jack and Empire State mines
have been sold to Mr.. Stout, of Lin
coin, Neb., and that work will soon
be commenced upon the Black Jack
with view of opening it up. The
Black Jack has produced great deal
of good ore, and with proper manage
ment may do SO again. T. Re-
gan has commenced to drift on the
rich chute of ore in the Orc Elmo, and
is now extending a drift south
through ore as rich as any ever taken
from the mine. On Monday he took
out 200 sacks of ore "black with sill
yer and yellow with gold" His next
crushing will probably be larger than
any that he has yet had.

COMMISSIONERS Sparks. in renlv e.

COMMISSIONERS SPARKS, in reply to
letter Of A. S. Caldwell, Special
Agent Of the Government Land Office
and in which letter it was stated that
large numbers Of pre-emption and
committed homestead claimants mort
gage their lands on the day of final
proof to obtain money to pay for the
same, says that "the Revised Statues
makes void all membranes to avoid
debts contracted prior to patent, and
applies to debts contracted for the
purpose of paying for the land, as
well as debts contracted for any 9th
er purpose, and the -emption law
prohibits conveyances, or agreements
to convey title" If the settler has
made final proof and is entitled to his
patent, although the patent may not
have been issued, it is all the same to
the government whether he mort
cages the land before or after he gets
his patent. II he has complied with
the law in regard to residence, i'm
provement and cultivation, the fact
that he has mortgaged his land on the
day of final proof is no evidence of
fraud on the part of the mortgage.
According to Sparks instructions not
only conveyances but agreements to
sell or transfer presumption, commu-
ted homestead and other conditional
claims, before patents are issued, are
in fraud of law. This is getting
things down to fine point, to no
purpose. In the light Of common
sense, how can an agreement to sell
or transfer, before patent is issued, be
''fatal to the validity Of an entry"
Ex-Secretary Teller held that if the
mortgage was mere security for
money loaned, and the contract does
not necessarily divert title from the
pre-emptor, it is not a contract or
agreement within the meaning of the
law. The Supreme Court of the
United States has ruled that pre-
emptor could mortgage the land, COW
cred by his filing, as security for the
money loaned to pay the government
price for it.

Adam Smith was a cattle dealer,
and was very wicked man. A
camp-meeting was in progress in his
locality, and among many others who
were converted were several members
of his family. At last he consented
to visit the meeting, and during the
progress of the service one of his
daughters came around to where her
father was sitting, and in tears she
said to him:
"Father, l am welded to the Lord"
"Wedded to who, did you say, Mary
Ann?"
"The Lord, father"
eff that's so, b'gosh, the Smiths
have got into good family at last. ="

and couldn't immagine what it was,
but in minute or so down came a
silver dollar on our side walk, and at

was heard to say. "There take that

birds, and am going down on Squaw

A Little Railway Experience that Was
Never Repeated.
Northeast Advertiser.
ALI east bound passenger trains on certain
road change locomotives at Erie, and for many
years it had been customary for the second loco
motive to await the arrival of the train from
the west, standing upon portion of the main
track on each side of which was high embank-
ment, broken just beyond by an excavation for
the passage-way of street underneath the
rails. One night when the fast train came in
from the west the air-brakes failed
to work, and repeated whistles by the
engineer failed to arouse the careless
train brakeman. The result was that the ex-
press, instead of stopping at the depot crashed
through at thirty miles an hour. The second
engine--where was itf The score Of railroad
men about who knew the circumstances held
their breaths. The time seemed to stop. The
heavy express must certainly crash into the
locomotive and all GO over the bank. But moth
ing of the sort happened. An engineer of one Of
the freight locomotives, who had long been
known among his fellows as a crank, persisted
that night in taking his engine over that line
and, despite many protests, the waiting passen-
ger engineer had taken his locomotive on to a
side track to let the cranky engineer, with his
engine, pass The case had never occurred be-
fore. Nor did it occur again. for tina sleepy
brakeman of the express was discharged and tho
second locomotive given orders to await In less
exposed place.
