the Greeley Town company. Terrell ap
pealed from the decision Of the local land
office At the time he asked TO homestead
the Greeley tract he also made application
for timber culture claim on land which Il
situated near Greeley.
Terrell has received word through the land
office here that the timber claim had beer
allowed by the secretary of the interior, and
that his homestead claim would also in oil
probability be granted. The property in
question includes that part of Greeley upon
which the most valuable buildings il town
are situated.
The timber tract is included in the section

BUFFALO, Oct. 3l.-A sensation was created
by the announcement that Henry S. Albers,
late lumber dealer of this city, had disap
peared, leaving behind him large amount OF
debts and spurious paper. 1t is also said thai
Albers is forger to large amount.
Albers is between 26 and - years Of age,
and was known as brilliant, il not lucky.
speculator His lumber trades have beer
large and he was credited with having sub
stantial backing. He was betrothed to the
daughter of Jacob Schen, the retired malster,
and his expectations enabled him to raise
funds. 1t is said he forged his expected
father inlaw's name to some $1,000 worth Of
paper, which Mr. Schen made good.
It Is also said that Albers raised enough
money to make Mr.. Schen's responsibility
extend into the thousands
Last week Albers got cashed spurious notes
bearing the forged signature of Mr.. Schen
for sums aggregating nearly $1,000 On q
later occasion he presented note to the Ger
man bank for $4,000 Endorsed with Mr..
Schen's name. The bank declined to nego
tate it and Albers withdrew it,
1t is believed the aggregate of the spuriou
Fpaper will reach $4,000. Residents of Bay

NEW YORK REPUsLIcAN CLUB.
Letters from Hon. Hannibal HamIin
and the Hon. T. B. Reed.

Declining invitations to attend the banquet
of the New York Republican Club at Del
monico's, on Lincoln's birth. day, the Hon.
Hannibal Hamlin wrote as follows;
Twas in due receipt of your favor of the
1st inst. in which you homer me with an IN
vitation to attend dinner to be. given by
the Republican Club of New York at Del
monico's on February II, the anniversary
celebration of President Lincoln birthday.
Being in full sympathy with your club and
deeming the event s,d emiIensiy mt worthy % e0m
holiday, it is with deep regret have to say
that am so situated that l cannot be with
you upon the occasion. cannot control the
reasons which compel me to decline the inyl-
tation. 1 would be truly glad to be at your
dinner, but it will not be possible.
Hon. T. B. Reed wrote as follows:
thank you very much for your kind invi-
tation to the dinner on Lincoln's BIRTH
day, though l shall not be able to attend
Nevertheless, l would like to be heard for
moment.
The Republican party is not greatest in its
history, however illustrious, but in itself. 1t
has the same capacity for great achieve
ments which it always had ; for it is made
up now, as it always has been, of men who
believe in progress. In the past we estab-
lished and maintained sound ways of doing
things. The government today is running
on the impetus of our twenty-f0ur years
rule The treasury is for the most part con-
dueted on the very principles for the denun-
citation of which no Democratic tongue could
be blistering enough only three years ago.
When you catalogue the great deeds of our
party, do not forget one of the greatest, the
education we have given the Democracy in
finance.
But nothing can run long on impetus. Edu-
cation soon fades out when confined to few
chiefs. Conrad Jordan has departed, and
Manning is dead Already the President has
concentrated his whole message capacity on

racy against protection. Some real force,

ness in motion. That force must come from

Longley on Fish.

In order to show the value of the Canadian
fisheries Attorney General Longley has pre-
pared a table of statistics showing the catch
fer number of years and the course trade
has taken.
The total value of the catch this year is es-
timated at $500, 900, of which the cod catch
is credited with So per cent and mackerel
and lobster catches 10 per cent each.
The course of export trade for the last two
years prior to the termination of the Wash
ington treatys hows that of anexport oflabout
$5,00o,O00 worth of fish in each year, the
United States took 80 per cent and the West
Indies 20 per cent. The deduction from this
is that the natural market for Canadian fish
is the United States.
WASHINGTON, Feb 13.-It is known to-
night that the fishery conference will finally
adjourn ON Thursday or Friday. Certain
definite determinations on the point are be-
ing decided and fixed by both sides. A semi
official announcement has been made that
the deliberation will be made public.
