upon the Field cf Beauty. That no pre-
vious choice, Prime and sugar-cured Min
listers or clique shall influence our alliance.
Our Queen shall elect her Court, upon each
OF whom we bestow the rank Of Ouch
ess, and we have ordained that Eight Ducal
CorOnets be struck at our Royal mint and
be presented to our Ladies OF Honor rs Il
pleasing Memcnto OF our Coronation.
And we further decree, in order that our
reign may be great and illustrious, to raise
a monument whose hight shall cause the
Statue OF Liberty, the Collgsus of Rhodes,
the Pyramids and Obelisks OF Egypt to
pale into insignitcance and make the
mounds appear as Corns and Bunions upon
the ioot-stool Of the Heavens.
We therefore decree that all the ladies

A SENSATION AT HARTFORD.
Rights of this Inte ma tiOnaI Company
EmpcrilIcd.

A sensation has been created in financial
circles in Hartford, Ct, by the Associated
Press dispatch from San Diego, Cal, that
President Diaz Of Mexico had issued de-
cree which will oust the international COM
pany from their large land holdings, valued
at $4,000, 600, in the peninsula of lower Cali
fornia. The International company is cor
poration OF extensive capital, holding Con-
necticut charter and having its home office
in Hartford, although its chief business IL
transacted in New York Its president is
Edgar 4. Welles Of Hartford, son of sacre-
tary of the navy under President Lincoln.
The company acquired by purchase tract
of land valued at $10,000,00 located in the
northern part of the peninsula, on
Mexican territory, and for two years
past has been employed in colo
nizing the territory under concessions
from the Mexican government allowing
special advantages to immigrants and ad-
mission without duty Of materials for
wharves, buildings, railways etc. a very
large sum in addition to the purchase money
has been expended in this way and in bring
ing in colonists, who were mostly from the
western states, with few from New Eng
land the decree alleged to have been is
sued by President Daz confirms the title OF
the company's land to Mrs. Burton Of San
Diego, who has longed claimed to have an
possession of the property, and has not made
any move to secure it until this time, when
the company's improvements have opened it
up to colonization and given it an increased
value. Her claim covers the great tract Of
! 300,0 600 acres known as the EMS NADIA de Lo-
dos Santos, mainly adjoining the harbor and
bay of Todos Lantos, on the Pacific side of the
peninsula. The tract was granted in 1904 to
Lieut.. Joseph Manuel Ruiz grandfather Of
Mrs. Burton. He sold it % years later, and
it passed through the hands of three other
owners, without contest Of title before the
! International company secured it by pur-
chase in 1886. Li9ut. Ruiz alone signed the
, first deed of transfer his wife not joining,
| and Mrs. Burton claims that this omission Of
her grandmother to sign the paper preserved
TO her descendants a title to the property.
! In 1858 Mrs Burton bought the claims of her
mother and two sisters for S., but never
took possession, although President Juares,
six years later, issued a decree, recognizing
! her rights in the immense ranch, although
then in the possession Of Mexican.
