OF LAND IN MICHIGAN BEFORE SEC

A Number OF Villages Have Been Erected
On the Disputed Tract-Extract From
Secretary whitney's Report on the Com
dition Of the Navy--Other Washington
Notes.
WASHINGTON, Dec. San important
hearing took place indirectly involving
900 acres of land in Michigan before Sec
retary Villas at the interior department Fri.
day. 1t is the most important land cases
that have arisen in the department for sew
eral years. 1t involves indirectly about SOO.-
600 acres in Michigan, originally granted to
the several railroads in that state.
Some 1900 acres of swamp lands are
claimed by the state Of Michigan, Under the
act OF September 2S, 1850 Subsequently the
lands were resurveyed and declared not 30
be swaffps. They were taken from the state,
and as such opened by the government to
private entry. This action the state disputes,
holding that the action of the government
in originally declaring the lands swamp

thing like $4,000, 600 The case involves the
larger part OF all the railroa lands In the
upper peninsula Of Michigan, and il the
claim Of the state holds good, whole villages
will be found to have been erected upon
lands purchased from the railroad compan-
les, and to which they never possessed
title -.1
The suits were brought in the name of the
state by Cyrus G.. Luce. governor, and ex-
Senator Chrstiancy, and many other lead
ing lawyers of the state, have been retained
as counsel The point in the claim OF the
state is that the lands which were granted to
the railroads were erronecusly marked on
the books of the land Office and that they
rightfully belonged to the state as swamp
lands under the general act of 1850. The
officials of the land off 3 say that if the !
lands were really swamp lands the state has
a legal and equitable claim, no matter to |
whom the railroads have disposed of tn. III.
Messrs. Britton and Gray appeared for the |
state of Michigan. The railroad men
present were: William L. Webber,
president of the Flint &c Pere Mar
quette railway; I. ]. O'Brian, gen
eral counsel of ithe Grand Rapids & In

5he Michigan Central, and J. A. Chandler,
If Chicago, solicitor Of the Minnesota rail
way and mining syndicate. These roads, to
whom the odi sections of the lands in ques.
ion were granted, have disposed of a large
'ortion of them, and the present owners
'omprise many of the wealthy men in the
northwest, including both of the Mich

because a democratic federal officer
is not an old soldier he is subject to
arbitrary removal. and in his case no

shown. Civil service reform!
