BuffalO's Mayors Method of he
heading Clerks.

Special TO the GLOBE.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Feb. 14.-For some
time there have been rumors of coming
changes in the police department. The new
Republican mayor desired to remove one of
the Democratic clerks to make room for one
of his own faith. The three clerks were
acknowledged competent, and just how to
select the one for the headsman was a
conundrum, which was finally solved, it is
said, in this way: Three slips of paper,
each bearing the name of a
clerk, were folded up and put
into three envelopes, which were not
superscribed. One of the commissioners
then put chalk mark on the floor and
Mayor Becker arising said that the envelope
which fell farthest from the mark would
contain the name of the man who would
have to walk the plank. He then grace
fully Tipped the three envelopes into the
air after the fashion of boy pitching PEN
MES. A hurricane must have got hold
of the envelope which contained
Clerk Gillespie's name for it was full two
feet the farthest from the mark. After
this boys play Gillespie was told that his
honor would accept his resignation, which
was rendered to take effect March l. Capt.
A. M. Wheeler, for eighteen years postmas-
ter at Evansville, Va, until ousted by Cleve-

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-Land Commits
sioner Sparks, in decision in the case of
James Vaughan, settler on the line of the
Northern Pacific railroad in Montana. holds
that the lands were not reserved by law for
the railroad grant upon the filing by the
company of maps of the general route. but
only after the definite location of the actual
line of the road. 1t has been former rul-
ing of the interior department that statu-
tory reservation was created when map
of general route was filed. although actual
location of the road might afterwards be
made on quite a different line Commits
sioner Sparks says he inds no authority of
law for such constructions and holds ii con-
trary to the provisions of the granting act
and to the uniform construction of the rail-
road land grant by the supreme court. The
effect OF the commissioners decision, if
sustained, will be to protect the settlers
along the whole line of the road who set
lied after the maps Of the general route
were filed and before definite location of
the road. being periods ranging from three
TO ten years. and also open to entry all
lands on the line between Wallula. w. T..
and Portland, Or, distance of some 200
miles and amounting to more than 5, 900. coo
acres. These lands are in the valley of the
Columbia river and have been kept In

special 10 the GloDe.
Ell PAso, Tex, Feb. 14.-Daniel w.
Jones, an elder in the Mormon church, also
a millionaire arrived here to-day from Chi
huahua. Elder Jones is a pioneer among
the Mormon settlers in the South. and has
struck it rich in fine silver mine in the
Sabinal district Of Chihuahua He was
also one of the agents designated by the
parent church at Salt Lake to visit the City
of Mexico and arrange for the colonization
of large bodies of Nor ms i'm Northern
Mexico. AS is well known. the colonization
schemes originally projected on large scale
have failed TO materialiZe or have resulted
in few hundred families moving where il
was boosted several thousand would
emigrate. 1t has been currently stated that
the failure of the grand colonization scheme
was due to the hostility manifested by the
higher classes in Mexico. including men,
bers of the present administration. against
the polygamOus doctrines of the Mormons
Elder Jones brushes all these statements
aside. says they are unqualihedly false, that
the Mormon ambassadors met with the
most cordial welcome on all hands and that
no one treated him with greater cOns.dera-
ton than President Diaz himself. Jones
says the true cause of the
TEMPORARY ABANDONMENT
of the colonization scheme was the discov-
cry that they could not secure title to suffi-
cient arabic land in either Sonora or Chi
huahua. The federal government offered
to sell them any land 1t owned and on the
most satisfactory terms But when Nor
mon experts came to examine the federal
lands they found the greater portion were
barren desert. All the choice valleys had
been taken up by Mexican settlers, and as
Mornions required territory about half
the size of the state of Indiana, it was an
endless task to recover title to the fertile
portions. The federal government even
offered to help the Mormons buy those
arabic patches and offered to fix the
price so the Mormons would not be at the
mercy Of small holders. Elder Jones SAYS
the Mormons, upon considering the offer.
declined to undertake the task of dealing
with perhaps 10000 different small land
owners, but made the federal government
an offer that if it would buy out these
holders of the arabic bottom lands. the
Mormons would take the same from the
government. and in addition would pur-
chase several million acres of contiguous
desert lands. This proposition is now
under consideration by the Mexican govern
ment. and Jones has no doubt of its accept
ance. He believes Mexico is destined to be
the Canaan of the prosecuted Mormon.
