decided the appeal taken by the Manitoba
from the decision OF Ex-Land Commissioner
Mcfarland, on July Is, 1884, in regard 10
the right OF the road to select lands in lieu OF
indemnity lands relinquished by the st. Paul
& Pacific in the Feegus Falls district. The
latter road had relinquished certain odd.
numbered sections within the twenty miles
indemnity limits, which the road had never

homesteadsrs. March es, 1873, the Mani
toba selected the lands in question: Com
missioner Mcfarland held that the
railroad company had no right to tbs
settlers lands Secretary Lamar decided
that this case rests on grounds similar to
those in the st. Paul & Sioux City case, In
the Worthington district, where 5000
acres were decided on the goth OF April
this year to be beyond the reach OF the
railroad esn4sasz, In other words the

An installment Of 100, 900 postal cards
from the new contractor arrived at the
Washington postoffice. The new cards
differ considerably from the old cards
in appearance. The size is exactly
the same. The design IL printed in a light
brown color. Instead Of the head OF the
Goddess OF Liberty in the vignette in the
corner appears fine engraving OF Jeffer-
sons head. Instead OF the monogram ~.
ST. the new card has on it the words
Omitted States" printed at length. On the
address side Of the old card were printed the
words Nothing but the address can be
placed on this side" This expression has
always besn criticised little as not being
true, az persons could write anything they
chose on that side, though the card might
not be received ut the postoffice. The ex-
preston has been changed on the new card
80 as to read: Nothing but the address to
be on this side"

Ferdinand Ward appeared in the supreme
court chambers in New York. From his
examination in the Warner case, it ap-
peared that in less than two months, on a
capital of $50, 900, Warner drew from the
firm his original capital and profit OF
$27, 900 besides. So for two years War
ner continued to invest money, draw prof
it's and reinvest the same. Sometimes he
would bring friends into the pool, but
always to his own profit, according to the
testimony Of Mr.. Ward. At one time
he brought $25O,OOO to the firm,
collection from twelve different Wall street
men. To each OF the twelve he guaranteed
interest at the rate OF 3 per cent per month.
This he paid to them, pocketing for himself
interest on all of the $25O.OOO at the rate
of 20 per cent per month. Mr.. Ward said
that when he protested that Warner was
making all the profits that gentleman cody
told the firm that If they did not like it he
would withdraw all the capital he had in.
vested SO Grant & Ward had to shoulder
the old man of the sea.

The Heather Chinese Killed In Wyoming.

Omaha, Aeb., Special:-Numerous mes
sages were received at the Union Pacific
headquarters In this city from Rock Springs,
Wyo., giving details fthe riot OF that place,

dred white miners and $50 Chinese miners.
Both have been there for several years, the
Chinese living separate in one part OF the
mining camp and the whites in another part.
There has, however, always been ill-feeling
between the two elements, the whites fire.

the Chinese were reinforced by the arrival OF
fifty isesh coolie laborers. This aroused the
wrath Of the wllitv piinrr who datnrmi ned

and late in the afternoon they maae q raid
on the Chinese quarters, firing shotguns and
pistols int O tie sir to brighten them into
leaving. The Chinese, frightened nearly to
death, fed in every direction, until their
cabins were entirely deserted. They were
pursued some distance by the white miners,
who kept shooting oysr them. The whites
then set fire to the Chinese quarters, de-
s+roying every Chinese cabin. The Chinese
are mos +iy seeking shelter on the hills and
buttes in the .:'seinity, awaiting further

several times attempted to SEM !. uas "
truce to the enemy, and to hold confer

driven back with warning shots by the out
