Lind After the Railroads.

SpeclaI 10 the Glope.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Lind filed
an application in the general land office
to-day, asking the commissioner to insti-
tute proceedings to secure the cancel
lation of certificates issued the St. Paul
and Sioux City Railway company for
lands in even sections. He asserts that
the railroad company had no claim to
the lands they pretended to relinquish,
and in place of which they selected
these lands in even sections. The ag-
gregate amount of these lands is over
1900 acres, located principally in Jack
son, Martin, Murray and Cottonwood
counties. Lind states that he hopes the
commissioner will serve notice on the
Southern Minnesota railway within a
week, preparatory to ordering suits
against that company to set aside the
patents to 1000 acres of land he claims
have been illegally certified to the state
for its benefit. These lands are located
in Faribault, Jackson and Martin coun-
ties

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. April ia general
alarm was turned in at 10 p. IN. Tor
terrific fire at the Bethel home. corner
of Olive and Main streets. The homeless
unfortunates who occupy the building
are transients. Some fifty or more in
mates escaped from the burning build
ing in various stages of nudity, and
others with their clothes on fire. VI
those who escaped two are seriously
burned and have been removed to the
dispensary. The number of nightly
occupants of the home varies from
ninety ia 12O. As only some
fifty or sixty escaped it is
supposed that a number are still
within the building. At this hour
IL a. m. the fire is under control, but the
firemen cannot as yet get to any OF the
bodies presumed to be in the burning
building. 1t is impossible at present to
state definitely whether any lives have
been lost, as all is a matter of c0nJect-
uIe. but the general suppOSitlon is that
there have been and the number is varl-
ously estimated from dozen to forty.
1880 a. m.-The fire is now out and
the firemen are buSily engaged IN the
search for bodies. One corpse, mangled
beyond recognition, has thus far re-
warded their efforts. The register of the
institution was secured by newspaper
reporter, but after squabble was taken
from him by the police, and is now at
the station. Those who escaped are
hopelessly scattered, and nothing can
be learned from the register. The two
upper floors of the fourstory building
fell in and caused mass of debris,
which makes the search for victims diff
cult. 1t is almost certain that other
bodies are in the ruins. One of the in
jured sent to the dispensary, name I'M
known, will die. The other is seriously,
but not fatally burned. The full extent
of the disaster will not be known before

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The house
spent most of to-day's session consider
ing the Indian appropriation bill. A
petition from the Maritime exchange of
Philadelphia against the sugar and mo-
laSses schedule of the Mills bill was
presented and referred. 1t was agreed
that the committee on ways and means
would yield the floor for the day to the
appropriation bills, and that the tariff
debate will be resumed next Tuesday,
Saturday being given to the committee
on public lands, for the consideration of
the homestead bill. The house then
went into committee of the whole on
the Indian appropriation bill. Amend
ments were adopted appr0priating S12,
600 for the Cherokee training school at
Cherokee, NC and one appropriating
$4,000 for the education of In
dian pupils in Alaska. When the
clause appropriating 81, 200 for the
payment of the Choctaw judgment was
reached Mr.. Blount, of Georgia, raised
the point of order that it was matter
over which the committee on Indian af
fairs had no jurisdiction, and that it had
no place upon the bill. The provision
for the payment of judgment was only
in order upon the sundry, civil OF def
cheney bills, over which the committee
on appropriations had jurisdiction.
After some discussion, the speaker over
ruled the point of order, on the ground
that the Judgment of the United States
supreme court was based upon treaty
stipulation, and that the subject matter
of the appropriation had properly been
referred to the committee Oh Indian
affairs. The committee then rose, and
Mr.. Randall then moved to strike out
the Choctaw judgment clause, and the
previous question was ordered on this
and the final passage of the bill. The
