Secretary Villas Afirms One and Reverses
Another Ruling of the Land Commits

WASHINGTON, June 19-Secretary Of In
terror Villas yesterday made decision in
the Kansas land cases on appeal from the
decision of the Commissioner Of the Gen.
eral Land Office as follows:
The case of William d. Cook, Involving
the right to the south half OF the northeast
quarter and the north half Of the southeast
quarter OF section 36, township ), range 20,
W. K. Irwin land district. Cooks COM
mutation proof on his homestead entry is

on the land was insufficient. Affirmed
Ia the casa OF Effis Latham, involving
the pre-emption right Of the claimant to
the northwest quarter Of section 6, town
ship %, south, range 29, west, Garden City
land district The Commissioner rejected
her final proof on the ground that six
months continuous residence had not been
shown, although it WAS established that
while she had resided on the tract from
the date Of settlement, September, 1885,
until the date OF proof, August, 1856, she
had been absent only about thirty days in
May on q visit. The Secretary holds that
this absence was not material, and he or

dition Of crops in Northwest and Northern
Kansas. In this connection he said: The
vheat crop from Topeka west along tho
Kaw valley is excellent and harvest
has just begun. All the way up
the Solomon Valley TO Osborne the
wheat is a very good crop and
exceedingly well filled and with plump
berry. The ripenrg wheat has every in-
dication OF healthy condition and the
average yield per acre along the Solomon
valley IS estimated at about twenty bush
els. In regard TO corn there is good stand
and it is in very thrifty condition, and
since the warm weather began is growing
rapidly. Oats will be fair crop, the heads
being well filled, but with rather short
straw throughout the localities named.
The Northwestern counties have generally
been well supplied with rain, and the
farmers are much encouraged at the pros
pect before them. The hal! district has re-
covered 10 some extent from the rum
which was wrought few weeks since in
Osborne, Mitchell, Clay and Ottawa Coun-
ties. and much Of the whe eat area destroyed
has been put into corn. There are no indi-
cations of any grasshOpper scourye, and

IOWA FREIGHTS.
The Ultimate Result of the Conflict n Mat
ter of Uncertainty.

The Ultimate Result of the Conflict n Mat
ter of Uncertainty.
CHICAGO, June 22.-The ultimate result of
the new Iowa freight conflict is still a mat
ter of conjecture, Notwithstanding the GER
tainty as TO rates that will be put into
effect June -. The law departments Of
some OF the interested roads have been
studying the condition of affairs and
the more they examine the subject the
stronger becomes the conviction that Iowa
politicians have enacted statutes that are
contrary 10 the spirit, if not the letter, of
the Constitution Of the United States. It
8 understood that the Federal Supreme
Court will be called upon TO decide the
question of the powers Of the commits
.ion and the legality Of the laws under
which they are acting. An interesting point
that IS likely to be raised in consequence
Of the arbitrary fixing of rates by the COM
miss oners of Iowa is that raj road compa-
nies not chartered by the State are not sub
ject TO the ruling OF the commission. It
happens that none of the principal lines af-
fected by the new tariff are Iowa corpora
tions.

to AL was great and beautiful He only
had few months granted to him
TO display the throne the
noble qualities of mind and heart which won
him the love of his people. The virtues which
adorned him and the victories which he
achieved on the battlefield will remain CRATE
ful remembrance as long rs German hearts
beat An imperishable glory will illumine his
chivalrous figure in the history OF the Father
land Called TO the throne OF my fathers, have
assumed the Government looking up to the
King OF kings and have vowed to God tnat
after the example OF my fathers will be Just
and clement Prince to nv people, thst will
foster piety and fear of God; that will pro-
tect peace and promote the welfare OF the
country: and that / will be O helper OF the
poor and distressed and q true guardian OF
their rights. In praying God for strength to
fulfil these kingly duties which His will i'm
poses on me, am supported by confidence in
the Prussian people which q glance at our past
history gives me. In good and in evil days the
Prussian people have always stood by their
King. Upon This fidelity. which my fathers
have found an indissoluble bond at all
times Of difficulty and danger rely with
. consciousness OF returning il from the
Bottom Of my heart as the faithful Prince Of =
faithful people. both equally strong in their de-
votion to their common Fatherland. From this
consciousness of the reciprocated love uniting
me and my people derive confidence that God
will vouchsafe me strength and wisdom to ex-
ercise my kIngly ONCE for the welfare OF the
Fatherland. WILHELM.
