THE REPEAL
of the Pre- Emption and Timber Culture
Laws.

The Senate has already passed the bill
repeating the pre-emption and timber cul-
ture acts, and the House will pass the BILL
This repeal, however, does not effect the
rights of any person which are accruing at
the time Of the passage Of the act. 1t fur
ther provides that any person who has not
heretofore had the benefit Of the pre-emp-
ton law and who has from any cause failed
to perfect title to land heretofore entered
by him under the homestead law may
make second homestead entry in lieu Of
the pre-emption privilege which is re-
pealed.
Section repeals the timber culture law,
with the proviso that it shall not inter-
fere with existing rights.
Section 3 amends the Revised Statutes
so that persons who have availed them
selves of the homestead law may pay
minimum price for lands after eighteen
months from the date of entry, provided
they file a preliminary notice six months
before.
Section repeals the desert land act, ex-
cept as to claims which exist at the date
of the passage Of this act.
Section S provides that no public lands,
except abandoned military reservations,
mineral lands and other lands the sale of
which has been authorized by special act
of Congress shall be sold at public auction
or by special private entry. All offered
public lands are withdrawn from the mar
ket, and shall be disposed of as unoffered
public lands.

COLD COMFORT FOR CLAwsON.
Decision of the U. S. Supreme Court In the
Claws0n Polygamy Case.

The Supreme Court at Washington has
rendered decision in the polygamy case
of Rudger Clawson, appellant, VS.. the
United States, on appeal from the Supreme
Court of Utah. Clawson, appellant, hav-
ing been found guilty by jury of the
crime Of polygamy and unlawful cohabita-
ton, was sentenced to pay fine aggregat-
ing $500 and to imprisonment for four
years. He appealed to the Supreme Court
OF the Territory, and pending judgment on
such appeal, applied to the court that SEN
fenced him for release on suitable bail. The
judge denied the application on the ground
that the defendant ought not to be admit
ted to bail after conviction and sentence,
unless some extraordinary reason had been
given. Clawson thereupon sued out writ
Of habeas corpus in the Supreme Court of
the Territory, and prayed for release upon
the ground that the court below had un-
lawfully refused to admit him to bail. The
Supreme Court overruled the petition, and
remanued the prisoner to the custody OF
the Marshal, whereupon he took the pres
ent appeal to this court. This court holds
that inasmuch as the Third Judicial Court,
in which the prisoner was tried, did not
impose upon him fine only, but also i'm
prisonment, his admission to bail pending
appeal from that judgment is distinctly
committed by the laws of Utah to the dis
cretion Of the judge or court to whom the
application for bail may be made. The
Supreme Court of Utah was, therefore,
right in overruling the petition, and re-
manding the prisoner to the custody of the
Marshal, and its judgment is affirmed.
Justices Miller and Field dissented.

THE CEUR d'ALENE,
The Opinion Of q Utah Miner on that
Country.

Recently reporter of the Salt Lake
Tribune had the pleasure of meeting Peter
Porter, who spent eleven months in the
CGur dAlene country. He arrived there
on January Fl, 1884, and left there on New
Years Day, 1885. In answer to inquiries
he said he looked upon the country as a
very promising one. When he went there
the country was under deep snow, and so
difficult to get into that supplies had to be
carried in or pulled on sleds by men or
dogs, but now there is good road for
sleighs, and in time the wagon road will
be pretty good. At the time of the rush
one year ago claims were staked out over a
large district. When the snow went off it
was discovered that most Of these claims
were on old claims of citizens of that local.
ity, and it took months to settle the difficult
ties Of location. 1t was not until August
of last year that matters assumed such
shape as to permit active mining opera
tons, and Mr.. Porter dates the history of
the camp from that date. Regarding the
amount of gold taken out last season, he
thinks it probably aggregated little in
excess of 100000. One bank, that of
Warren Hussey, bought on an average
400 ounces of gold dust per week, paying
about SIG per ounce for it. These pur-
chases and those Of another bank were all
made since July. Besides what the banks
purchased there was considerable taken
out by private individuals, and hence no
correct estimate can be made of the out
put.
Mr. Porter says that the bars of the old
wash are very rich, and when the two
bitches now being built are completed it
will make good paying country. One of
these bitches is owned by California COM
pany, and is completed to Murray, about
seven miles from its head. 1t would have
been worked at this winter if the severe
weather had not come on so early.
Theother ditch is owned by st. Louis
company, and they have about three miles
of it completed. There will be ample
water for large hydraulic workings, and
the future output of placer gold promises
to be very large.
Mr.. Porter thinks so much of the coun-
try that he intends to return in sixty to
ninety days hence, and spend the season in
working the claims owned by himself and
brother.
The quartz lodges promise we'll, but
they have not been much prospected yet.

Lorenzo Dutil, saloon-keeper at I441
San Pablo avenue, Oakland, California,
was murdered last Sunday night. His head
was hacked to pieces with hatchet.
Robbery was evidently the motive Of the
crime, - the till was broken open, and the
diamond studs torn from the dead mans
shirt.

He Spends Her Money, Knocks Her DowA
and Threatens Her Life.

The performance Of the Kate Castleton
Company at the Opera House, at Winni-
peg, Manitoba, on the night Of the 10Th
inst, was interrupted by an outbreak on
the part of Harry Philips, Kate's husband
and manager. He obtained possession Of
some money sent her from San Francisco,
and got drunk. At the close Of the first
act Kate asked him for the remainder Of
the money, when he responded by telling
her with blow OF his fist, which rendered
her insensible for some time. Afterward
he broke into her bedroom, revolver in
hand, threatening to kill her. He was ar
rested, and spent the night in the police
station. About $1,000 worth of Miss Cas-
tleton's diamonds were found on his person
and returned to her. Philips was bailed
out, and the whole company left for the
south.

The New York Tvi6ssc says: All indi-
cations point to another sharp contest at
the April election Of the Tammany Soci-
ETY.. The real importance Of the contest
lies in the fact that the society owns the
building in which the Tammany General
Committee meets, and the Board Of
Sachems can admit whomsoever It pleases
Of such committee. A strong effort will
Be made to oust John Kelly and his friends.

THE NICARAGUAN TREATY.
EdmCnds Soon to Make an Exhaustive
Argument in Its Support.

The speech made bv Senator Morgan
in executive session of the Senate in favor
of the Nicaraguan treaty is regarded as
one of the strongest arguments in favor OF
the ratification of that instrument that has
yet been presented. Sherman's speech a
few days ago in opposition to the treaty
had considerable effect upon those Sena-
tors who had not made a study Of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty and its relations to
the proposed work of constructing canal
across the isthmus of Nicaragua. The
statement made by Sherman in support of
his argument that the Clayton Bulwer
treaty should be abrogaied before the pend
ing Nicaraguan treaty is ratified had con-
siderable weight with Senators who have
not informed themselves on the subject.
Morgan reviewed the history of the ratifi-
cation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty, and
from that record argued that the United
States is in no way bound to consider that
instrument in determining the question of
the propriety Of this Government building
the Nicaraguan canal Several Demo
cratic votes that would have been cast
against the ratification of the Nicaraguan
treaty were changed to favor that instru-
ment by Morgan's elaborate speech.
While two-thirds vote is required to rat
ify the treaty, the indications now are that
the requisite number Of votes will be OBJ
tanned. Edmands, who has been in con-
slant communication with the State De-
partment ever since negotiations for the
Nicaraguan treaty were begun, will in a
few days make very exhaustive speech in
The Senate in support of the treaty

THE BRITISH LION
Begins to Shake His Mane-Stirring Events
Expected in Egypt Soon.

The Sultan Of Turkey has ordered E, 1000
troops to be sent to Suakim, the expense OF
the expedition to be betrayed with revenue
from certain Egyptian territory on the Red
sea coast
There was special meeting at London
on the 18th of the officials of the War De-
partment in the rooms of Rear Admiral
Sir Francis Sullivan, Director of the De-
partment of Transportation, Pail Mall
The meeting was in session for several
hours. The unusual occurrence of coun-
Gil at the War Office on Sunday caused all
to connect the circumstances with the
startling information received to the effect
that Turkey was about to take an active
part in the Egyptian campaign. The Off
cials were ominously serious as they came
from the council room, and were very reti-
cent.
The excitement in London caused by
the unusual occurrence Of council at the
War Office on Sunday was greatly increas-
ed on Monday by the report that the Gov
ernment had decided to resist any(1ttempt
on the part of Turkey to occupy any por-
ton of Egypt or land troops in tina. coun-
try. There is considerable hustle and stir
at the War Office, and orders have been
sent to Chatham, Portsmouth and Wool
wich, which caused much activity at these
great naval stations. Another battalion Of
troops at Malta has been ordered to en-
bark at once on the steamship Poonah for
Alexandria, and other troops are under or
ders to be in readiness to move at mo-
ment's notice. The indications all point to
stirring events in Egypt There is no
doubt that the Ministry is determined not |
allow Turkey to interfere in Egyptian af-
fairs by placing an armed force in any part !
Of that country.
