Northern Pacific Grant.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. l2.-The
bill forfeitlng the Northern Pacific
land grant. west Of Bismarck, which
was agreed TO in the House public
lands committee yesterday, will be re-
ported to the House early next week.
Major strait, the Minnesota member
Of the committee, Is opposed to the
bill. When asked IL he thought IL
would be enacted into law, he re-
pied, emphatically: mo, and il ought
not to pass the House." Major Strait
views are endorsed by nearly every
one who has given the important sub
Ject any attention, but there are a
great many men in the House who
seem to think that they are here for
the sole purpose Of forfeiting land
grants without reference to the equity
of the case. The act granting the
land In question 10 the Northern Pa
cific railroad, said Mr. Strait, CON
tains no revertive clause; il simply
provides that in the event of failure of
the Northern Pacific corporation to
fulfill the terms of its career within
the specified time, Congress shall have
power 10 secure the completion of the
road by such legislation as may be
deemed expedient. Congress took no
action toward securing the completion
of the road unbuilt on the 4th of July,
1879. Hence IL would seem that the
Northern Pacific road has an equit-
able right to the land contained with
In the limits of the grant and contigu-
Gus to that portion Of the road which
has been completed
Major Strait has been a member OF
the House for nearly twelve years,
during which time he has devoted
special attention to the land laws, and
has been pronounced IN his champion
ship of settlers. His opinion as given
above is therefore of greater weight
than IL he had been Unidentified With
land grabbing schemes.

Nobody Knows Him.

Several laughable instances of mis-
taken identity occurred yesterday
caused by the very strong resemblance
of Mr.. H. w. Covode, of Butte, to Mr..
w. Ferdon, of the o l. outfit. Mr..
Covode arrived in town on Sunday
nights train from the west and yester-
day visited at the rooms of the Miles
City Club where his double, Mr.. Fer
don, is as well known as any member
of the club. He was at once mistaken
for Ferdon, and having had like ex-
perience here last summer he at once
humored the mistake and talked flu
emily of Ferdon 3 affairs. +. J. Chaplin,
who is a range neIghbor of the o l.,
and knows Ferdon intimately, held
long conversation with Covode with
out discovering his mistake. Like
wise Capt. Harmon, Capt. Kreidler,
and AL Campbell, the latter first
greeted Covode by his right name. but
OH being told that he was the first
man who had called him Covode
(which was true) Immediately correct
ed his supposed mistake by addressing
him as Ferdon. and added that his re-
semblance to Covode was so striking
that he certainly thought it was him
and so 1t was-but that the same kind
of mistakes occurred last summer
when Covode was here and Ferdon
absent. Covode Is certainly to be
envied, for while In Butte he Is recog.
nized as prosperous sheep grower
with profitable side issue in the in-
surance business. he finds himself re-
cognized at Miles City, where beef is
king and mutton at q discount, as one
Of the representative cattle men of
eastern Montana.

A REM ARkABLE CASE.
The Prisoner Says He Was Led Into n
False Confession.

PITTsFIELD, Mass, july %.
One of the most remarkable criminal cases
tried in :his county has come to a conclusion
in the superior court. 1t was the triai of
Michael O'Connell, for burning the barn of
Mrs. Henry Leavitt OF New York, at her sum
mer seat in Great Bennington, in July of last
year The barn was built twenty years ago
and was wonder in this part of the state on
account of its size and expensvene of con
struction. 1t cost upward of 500 0O0 After
the barn was burned Detective Price of the
9th New York precinct was employed. and
finally fixed upon O'Connell as the man who
had fired it. The latter had been discharged
by Mrs Leavitt, the owner of the barn, be-
cause he asked for an increase of wages, and
hnally went to Brooklyn, where Price follow
ed him. A man named Rogers was employed
to work O'Connell for confession. The
latter was drawn into plot to burn barn in
New Jersey, and finally made thorough ex-
pose of the methods he adopted to burn the
Leavitt barn. He had used wads of tow
soaked with kerosene AID with long fuses
attached.
These were thrown into the hay and lighted
after an explosion had been secured OCop-
nell was arrested last February, and at the
trial Just ended thirteen witnesses testified in
his favor in the effort to prove an alibi O'Con-
nell, on his own behalf, said of his relations
with Rogers and Patterson IN New York, that
Rogers told him he (O'Connell) could do well
if he would make Patterson believe that he
had pluck enough to do anything. Rogers
asked him wasn't there a bank robbery, or
a burglary, or big fire in the county he came
from that he could claim to have done, so
Patterson would belive he had grit?" Rogers
continually Dragged of what he had done and
so OConnell, to match the Dragging, boasted
OF having set fire to Leavitts barn, of which
he was innocent He was ured into the New
Jersey plot by Patterson and Rogers. Mr.
O'Connelrs story was not shaken by the
cross-examination. The arguments in the
case were made this afternoon. The verdict
will hardly be rendered before morning.

CHESTER, VT, July 20.
Mrs. A. c. Lowell, who attempted the mur-

ber nothing of what has occurred, and It is
said that when she saw the blood on her child
she asked her brother if Oracle had had the,
nose bleed. The deed was committed with a
dull razor, and "A deep cash cut in the child's
throat just III front OF the jugular vein. The
insane mother would have accomplished her
object but for the interference of her grand
mother, who heard the child scream and,
rushing into the room, grsppled with her
daughter, who, on seeing her, rushed into a
corner room and attempted TO cut her own
throat, but only partially succeeded before
the razor was taken from her Much sympa-
thy is felt here for the woman and her three
young children, and there is good deal of
feeling against her husband. whose desertion
caused his wife to resort to such rash means
to rid herself of her trouble. Both the child
and mother will recover, but close watch
has been put on the latter.

leasing Cutting.

Ell PAso, Texas, July 30.
There are no new developments whatever
in the Cutting case. Cutting is still in jail
and it 10 ks as if he is likely to stay there a
long time. Many complaints are heard here
at the deliberate action of the American gov
ernment. The people fear that the question
will be discussed by diplomats of the two
countries until everybody loses interest 10 it
Tue sday night Cutting was again aroused
from his sleep and carried before Judge
Castaneda, although il had been falsely pre-
tended that the question had been referred to
higher tribunal. He was told that he would
be allowed to employ counsel, but he refused
to do so, and stated that he was simply in the
hands of bis government. He said he had
no defense whatever to make. He was then
sent back to prison. Wednesday morning he
was again called up and informed that coun-
sci had been assigned to HIM wheth,r he
might wish it or not. Upon investigation il
was found that the man appointed was mere
law student and not a lawyer in regular prac-
tice. Consul Brigham has received a letter
from Minister jackson, saying that he had
no doubt the matter about Cutting would be
settled in few days.

CROP REPORT.
A FAIR Crop OF Corn Expected if Nothing
Happens.

CINCINNATI, July 30.
In report on the crop situation today, the
Price Current SAYS
A feature of marked interest at this time
is the condition of the corn crop. Our spec
ial reports this week cover all sections of the
corn belt Of the West, and give clear indica-
tions t the existing situation generally in
Guiding other leading crops. 1t is proper to
say the condition of growing corn averages
well east of Illinois. 1t is considerably mod
flied in that State by the effects of drv wealth
er and has been and is suffering more or less
seriously. East of the Mississippi with a
moderate degree of relief from recent rains
IN Kansas and Nebraska, but an average pro-
duction west of the Mississippi could hardly
be reached under favorable conditions the
remainder of the season. The aggregate area
reported in corn this year approximately is
I0,0o0,00o acres and unless something more
serious occurs than is now apparent, a fairly
good production may be realized with reason
ably favorable conditions the remainder of
the season.

A Corner Formed on Kentucky and
Bourbon Whiskey.
LOUISVILLE kY.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July 80
sensation has been created among the
whiskey men by the publication this after
noon of an alleged scheme to corner Kentucky
and Bourbon whiskey, by Senior & Son Of
Cincinnati and E. H. Taylor of Frankfort,
Ky. Its claimed that syndicate was form
ed with over Sl,000,000 capital, and has
already purchased ell the free whiskey of the
years of 1879 to 1888 inclusive Having got
control of the market the syndicate propose
to make their own price. The success Of the
scheme is questioned on account of the vast
amount of capital required.
