WASHINGTON, October 16th.-The law
officers of the General Land Offices are
preparing q case against the Northern, Pa
cifc Railroad, alleging that it is not en-
titled to the land granted it from Duluth
to Puget Sound, by reason of its failure to
earn these lands and file plat within. the
prescribed time. 1t takes the ground that
the road could not earn the entire
grant, and upon this hypothesis the Cen
eral Land Office will ask the Secretary Of
the Interior to declare these lands forfeited
and open for settlement. 1t is expected
that this audacious step will be ready for
consummation in very few days, and
while it may not have more effective re-
suit than the numerous bills befoSa, Con-
gress, it is likely to cause the N@~hern
Pacific Company serious embarrassment.
