PRESIDENT CLEVELAND outlined In
letter to the secretary of the inter
ior last year the policy to be pursued
by executive officers under his admin
istration in cases of conflicting claims
between settlers and railroad corpor-
ations for portions of the public lands.
He suggested that where corporations
are entitled to select lands from in
demnity reservations they should be
required to select, where possible,
from tracts in which settlers have no
legal nor equitable interest and upon
which they have made no improve
ments, and that every reasonable pre-
sumption and intendment should be
made in favor of the settler on the
public lands. The case which called
forth this letter from the president
that of Guilford Miller against the
Northern Pacific railroad company,
has just been decided by the secre-
tary of the interior in favor of Miller.
1t appears that in 1870 the railroad
company first exercised its right to
locate preliminary general route,
and asked for withdrawal of the
lands thereon to the usual extent.
This withdrawal was made by the de-
partment. Nearly two years after
wards the company filed a map of
another route, greatly differing from
the first one, and asked for with
drawal of the lands on this route also,
which was made. Miller's land, it
appears, was entirely outside of the
withdrawal on the first line. but fell
within the withdrawal on the second
line. The secretary holds that the
company exhausted its franchise to
locate general route by the first ex-
ercise of it, and that the withdrawal
of lands along that preliminary route
took place by the operation of the act
of congress, and was the only with
drawal which the act of congress per-
mitted. There are large number of
cases in the general land office the de-
cision Of which will follow the pre-
cedent set in the Miller case.

A CoMPosIToR on the New York
World set up 1000 ems from the die
tation of Edison's new phonograph.
Two small tubes were fitted to his
ears and connected by a large tube
with a phonograph. The latter was
run by a small electric motor and
regulated by pedal attachment by
which it could be started and stopped
at the compositor's pleasure. The
phonograph would talk off a sentence
into the printers ears and then be
stopped until he had put the words in
type. This is obviously one of the
many ways in which the machine may
make itself hereafter a highly i'm
portant factor of modern civilization.

to considerable extent. The familiar faces of near

and the correspondence from those who prefer to
patronze the mail service is said by those whose bust
ness il is TO care for such to be almost duplicate
each weeks fact somewhat surprising. as one would
naturally suppose that interior merchant would
endeayor provide for period of geater length
single week. This method, however appears prefer
able to the majority at this season, but with the
opening of spring they will no doubt be found
ready to enlarge their obligations, the natural in
crease in consumption at that time will necessitate
more liberal policy, and general replenishing of
broken assortmenrs will probably become the rule
with those who desire keep up fully with the pro
session and times In prices to-day there were but
few changes. With the warmer temperature the de-
1nand for foreign fruits more especially oranges is
increasing, and supply and with this prices
