THE MAXWELL LAND GRANT.
Origin Of the Present Difficulty-Fears That
Further Bioodshsd May Result.

DENVER, Col. Aug. 81 The trouble on the
Maxwell land grant has been brewing for some
time; in fact, ever since the Supreme Court Of
the United States confirmed the title to the
grant. The grant was originally made by the
Mexican government to Beauban and Mirands,
two Msxicans. who were given two square
leagues, or Sc 600 acres, OF land. providing that
they would cultivate the same The boundaries
Of the grant now contain !, 750. 900 acres. The
manner in which the grant grew to its present
proportions is one of the chief causes Of the
trouble. The settlers living within the bound.
aries OF the grant charged that tho original
properly was enlarged by fraudulent means.
The highest tribunal in the Land Department has
held, however, there was no fraud, and refused
to set aside the patent granted by Congress.
Hundreds or settlers have imp roved homes and
lived there 80 many years that they considered
themselves rRhtfully in possession, and look
upon the threatened ejectment as an
outrage. Soon after the Supreme
Court decision, the grant people
proposed to purchase the settlers improvements
ana stock at the market price, uoder which
they were 70 vacate, or they would sell them the
land at reasonable figures Many settlers ac-
cspted the proposition. and told out or pur-
per acre. The grant company claims to treat
the settlers justly, appraising the stock and i'm
provements at fair value; but charges have
been made that in many instances settlers have
been asked to pay an exorbitant price for prem
ises uoon which they have been living for many
years. The settlers are now up In arms, and
have been led TO it by the incendiary talk of
certain svil-disposed persons. They are under
the impression that they are fighting for their
homes and families.
The managers of the grant last night swore
out warrants for the arrest OF sixteen men who
participated in the troubles st StonewAll. on the
charge Of riot Writs of ejectment against a
bundred others also secured. and the
United States marshal lett to-day to serve them.
It Is feared that the serving of these papers will
cause another outbreak and perhaps more Hood
shed.
TRrSIDAD, Col, Aug. 2L-The Maxwell
land-grant trouble ~ Stouewal has subsided.
and the sheriff's posse has returned to Trinidad
and the settlers dispersed and gone home. Mr..
Russell, who was shot through the lungs, will
probably die. The Mexican, who was killed at
the hrst FIRE. was buried to-day.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-As rule it is not live

to-day was On exception. SenaS6r Quay was ca

Indiana dropped in and said it looked very much

jector, would be defeated. He declared that be
knew of many Democrats in Holman's district
who intended to vote against him. 1.-TWO years
ago." be continued, ''Gen. Tom Lucas came with
in 7s9 votes Of defeating Holman, reducing his
majority from 1000 to 788. General Lucas was
nominated about three weeks before the elec-
tion, aud had no time to make canvass. Hol.
man will be a victim of his own party's success,
because so long as the Democrats were on the
outside there was patronage to dispense in
his district. and the result was he made many
promises OF what he would do when his
party came into power. He did not think
the Democrats would be successful so soon.
The result has been that every Democrat whom
Holman promised a place or a fat contract has
asked him to fulfill his promises. He could not
do so. aud did not try and about half of the
Democrats In his district have seeded. In ad-
dition. many Democrats are disgrsted with
Holmans obstruction record
Reports from the Western States are very en-
coursging. Ths defections reported By Demo-
Gratis in Michigan. Minnesota and Wisconsin do
not exist, and many Democrats are coming out
boldly for the Republican candidates and pro-
lection. In Nebraska, Colorado and the far
Western States much greater interest is taken
in the tariff question than was expected. Piles
of letters are received from farmers and business
men, showing that the people arc keenly alive to
the issue, and intend 10 vote for protection.

Surveys For Irrigation.

WASHINGTON, December 16.-In this years estimates of the Treasury Department for necessary appropri- ations for the Government the item providing for surveys for irrigation is omitted. Senator Stewart called at the office of Major Powell, director of Geological Survey, to ascertain the reason for this omission. Major Pow ell being absent in Colorado investi- gating in person the subject in ques- ton, the chief clerk of that bureau in formed the Senator that an estimate of $350,000 had been made, and was surprised that it was not in the book of estimates. The Senator then called on Villas, Secretary of the Interior, and was informed that the omission was by design; that Major Powell and the Secretary are preparing a special re- port iii which full details of what has already been done and plans for the future will be set forth.
 The Senator was highly pleased with his interview. He said that the Sec retary had taken hold of the matter in earnest and was fully impressed with the magnitude of the work oi retaining the vast region of the United States where irrigation is nee. cessary, and is confident that the re- port which the Secretary will soor transmit to the Committee of Appro priations of the House will be such as to satisfy Congress of the propriety and necessity of liberal appropriation tc carry on the great work.
