President Boyard, of the University of Southern California, declares that negotiations are being made with AL win Clark, of Bosten, for making a tel escope that will have 42-inch lense, 8 inches larger in diameter than the great Lick equatorial. With this glass, the surface of the moon will be visible as it would be to the naked eye If it were only sixty miles away. Pres ident Boyard added: II shall go East soon and see Clark. He agrees to make the 42-inch lsnse for $100,000. We are largely guided Tn the matter by Prof. E. E. Hiekering, the professor of astronomy at Harvard University, who has charge of the college Obssr- vatsry. It is very likely that an ar rangsment may be made with liar yard by which the two obssrvatOries will work ln cooperation. There will be no rivalry with the Lick. What can be done best there we will net at tempt to do. It will require at least five years from the commencement on the glass to complete It. It will be cast in the rough in Paris. If Mr. Clark dees the work it will probably be completed at Les Angeles. He has to stop work Tn the East during cold weather, as the glass becomes very liable to fracture then, but here he could work through the year" The telescope will be mounted on the edge of the Sierra Madres, near Les An geles. It is claimed that the atmos- phere is clearer there than at Mount Hamilton. The university has large endowment, and several millionaires have promised to assist in erecting the biggest telescope m the world as an advertising scheme for Southern Cal ifornia.

A new land bill to permit persons who have filed under pre-emption CT homestead law, but who for some reason have failed ts acquire title to lands, to again file under the home stead law, passed the Senate, and, with important amendments, was adopted by the House. The Senate will doubt less ceneur in the amendments, the first of which authorizes registers and receivers to grant leave of absence te any whe have made entry and who "by reason of drouth, whole or partial destruction of crops, sickness or any other unavoidable casualty" are una ble to secure support fer himself or these dependent upon him, such ab- sence not to exceed one year at any one time. The second amendment provides that persons who have made homestead entries for less than one quarter section may make additional entry, to complete the quarter section, of land contiguous to that first filed upon, or in case he deslres to make an entire new entry, be may do so by first relnquishing the original entry, and no additional fees shall be exacted for the second entry. The residence made upon the original entry shall count as residence on the additional or new entry in making final proef

A report comes from Boston that the French syrdicate has effected an ar rangement with producers to lessen thelr output. The decrease in the production of the Calumet & Hecla amounts te 5O,OOOOOO to 6O,OOO,OOO pounds, it is said, and it is asserted that other companies will reduce their output on the same ratio. American cOmpanles were appeased with the promise that the French syndicate would take their copper at half cent advance, or at the rate of 131 cents a pound. By this arrangement the whole loss will fall upon the consu- ners. The original contract between the syndicate and the American com paniss was for three years, but under the new management the time is in- creased to nIne years, and the rsduc- tion in output will continue during that perled. Another feature of the agreement is for division of the prof its above the contract price.

General Wilson has seen fit te at tack delegate Mark Smith for his ac- ton in securing the exemption of Arizona from the operation of the Me- Creary land court bill. Probably nothing that MT. Wilson could do CT say would give so much satisfaction ts the friends of Mark Smith, as hls dec laratlen in favor of the establishment of special land court in this Tsrrito- ry, the result of which would be to deprive the settler on alleged grants of the assistance of the Government as ce-defendant, and compel him to defend his title single-handed against wealthy and interruptions land claim ants, aided by rapacieus lawyers who would reap harvest from the litiga- tion that would inevitably follow.
 The evidence furnished by the State of California, where a court similar to that contemplated by the McCreary bill was established, and which result ed in the wrongful dlspessession of hundreds of settlers and the confrma- tion of extensive grants to which not a shadow of valid title attached, is pertinent.
 Gen. Wilson's declared position on this question will certainly alienate Republicans whs might have given him their votes had he espeused the cause of the people, or observed dis erect silence. Wilson is his own Burchard.

A Wyoming AssIpnment.

Cheyenne (Wyo.) special: The Union
Cattle company, one Of the largest cattle
growing firms Of Wyoming, made IN
assignment today and asked for the mp
pointment of Il. =. Voorhees,, its man
ager, and &. b. Goodcll, vice president,
rs receivers. The assets Of the com
pany are estimated to be 81 800, 900, and
the Liabilities 81, 100000. Arrangements
have been made to liquidate all labor,
and supply accounts 40 that no losses
will be felt here. The Union Cattle
company was organized six years ago
by the consolidation of the prosperous
firms of Sturgis Il Love and SturgiS n
Goodell. In the flush days Of the cattle
business tho company prospered and
acquired large bodies of land in Wy
oming and Dakota and its herd in
creased to upward of 60, 900 head. The
range losses OF the past two years and
the depreciation of the price of beef,
has embarrassed the company to such an
extent that in order to preserve its prop
erty the assignment, with assignecs
friendly to the interests of tn, CON.
pany, has become necessary. Tho IN
ion Cattle company is q member of the
American cattle trust, OF which MIR.
Thomas Sturgis, president of the com
pany, is manager. 1t is thought here
that the failure is not bad one, that
the creditors will be paid in full, and
that the Union Cattle company will in n
short time assume control of the bust
ness again.

IMMIGRATION.
An Iowa Congressman,s Complaint
An Insane Girl Sent TO Boone.

New YoaK, Jan. 81. A western Con
gresham has written to Immigration
Commissioner Stephenson. stating that
an incurably insane Swedish girl has ar
rived at Boone, Iowa, direct from the old
country. The Swedish authorities had
paid her passage. The letter deprecated
the admission of such immigrants and
expressed the hope that the present Con
gress would amend the immigration laws.
Commissioner Stephenson has replied
that the existing laws are adequate, II
strictly enforced, but that by decision
of the Secretary of the Treasury in Au.
gust last in contravention Of the intent OF
the statute, as the Commissioner thinks,
the power to return people of that class
to the countries from which they come,
was taken from the immigration Com
missioners and vested in the Collector OF
the Port; that this official never sees i'm.
migrants and Is compelled to rely on the
statement of interested parties mostly.
The Commissioner presents statistics
showing the result Of this change in the
method.

FRANK CAPT. y HATFIELD.
Mrs. Vance, Capt. Vance md Capt. Hatfield,
were returning home, whom they met the
McCoys. Capt Vance ran down tho noun
tain side he WINS descending at the time. As
soon rs the McCoys saw him they opened
fire, which the captain returned. Mrs. Vance
was about half way between the two. She
held her ground, the bullets flying by her
thick and fast. II McCoys yelled to her to
sit down, but she wouldn't. They called out
that they would shoot her, and she told them
to shoot. Presently she heard Vance shout:
Orally on the top of the hill, boys" Then
she knew he was hit and delirious. The old
lady told them they needn't fire any more.
1t is supposed that this murder was not in
spired by the noble purpose of the former
ones, but that it was simply to acquire pos
session of the captains rifle.
And it is supposed that tho fight will go on
yet many years, or until some one in author
ity with nerve puts a stop TO it.
But the violent death of the last Hatfield
and the last Mccoy may occur in the mean
time.
