Decision by The senrefary Of the Interior
Regarding HoDsstcad Enfyaeg4

Regarding Homestead EnfY1sg
Washington dispatch: The secretary
OF the interior las rendered the follow
ing important decision, involving the
question OF residence upon homestead
entries prior to making final proof:
To the Commissioner OF the General
Land 0flice-Dear Sir: / have consid-
cred the appeal Of William A. Thompson
from your Office decision OF July 8, 1886,
rejecting his final proof for the land
therein mentioned. i think this man is
entitled TO his patent. He made his
declaratory statement April 90, 1888, al
leging settlement the week before, and
shows he made il. II appears that ho
was absent during most of the following
summer; was on the land from fall until
the following spring; absent again dur.
ing the succeeding summer; again upon
the land from fall until spring, and not
absent six months at any one time; that
he applied the proceeds of his labor dur
ing two seasons when he was absent to
building house and making improve
ments on the land, now valued together
at $500; that he was poor man, and his
absence was for the purpose of earning
means TO improve his land, and that he
| devoted all the fruits of his earnings
with fidelity to that purpose. In
the spring of the third year he
left again and remained absent
until the following January, his
purpose being to earn sufficient
money 10 pay the government for the
land. The amount necessary was 5000,
a considerable sum for laborer to save
from his wages during year in addition
to the necessary fees and expenses. He
appears to have done it and, notwith-
standing he was not personally present
upon his land during the last six months
preceding the completion Of his entry,
the fact cannot deny his right. he
made "a settlement in person" upon
this land; he has erected dwelling
thereon; he has improved the land, and
he had inhabited in good faith. When
II is considered that this tract was stu.
ated many miles from ordinary high
ways and remote from settlements gen
orally, is very difficult of access, and yet
he has persistently chung to it for three
years, applying all the results of his
labor to its Improvement and its pur'
chase, il is difficult to discover a cast
more worthy of being found marked by
good faith. His ''inhabitancy" Of LAND
is not impeached after his residence was
once secured, by his going abroad t.
procure means to bring back there tC
improve il and obtain title to it.

How the Mexicans Dress.

A correspondent of The Cleveland Leader
writes: The peon women wear only scanty
skirts and mantilla of gaudy or black stuff
The women of the better class delight in
French shoes and skirts and tournures, their
clothing craekles with the starch in them,
and according TO degree they wear hats or
msntilas of lace or fine stuff. The masculine
attire in chihuahua, and indeed in all Of
Northern Mexico, is varied. The bloods wear
American clothing with an spologetic touch
or two Of the old national dress. Pot hats
and frock coats abound. Then come the
ranchers with their short jackets, fancy
shirts, skin tight pantaloons with bell bot:
toms and two and three rows OF metal bell
buttons, aud extrsvagautly embroidered aud
laced sombrero The poems are all lightly
clad beneath, canvas trousers predominating
and bare legs being plenty. The hair is bound
back by a band round the forehead and the
inevitable zarape, usually an Indian made
blanket, plain or OF gSudy stripes, is wrapped
over the shoulders aud hangs 10 the knees:
In the cold morning and evening air OF
chihuahua the effect TO full-blooded Ameri'
can ewes Is ludicrous The poems legs seem
10 be in winter aud his body In summer,
But they are his legs and we overlook the
effect for that reason, being satisfied with the
condition of our own.

ALL QUIET IN CHICAGO.
The Anarchists Make no Attempt to
Hold Public Meeting.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-The streets around the
Haymarket were thronged with people all
this afternoon, who came expecting some
sort of an anarchistic demonstration.
More policemen than are usually detailed
on the streets were on duty and did not
allow crowds to congregate about the cor
ners or in the saloons. There were
no more people than usual on
the streets, and adjoining the quarters on
Milwaukee avenue, or in the saloons fire.
quented by the anarchists on Blue Island
avenue and Twelfth street.
ALL THE POLICE ON DUTY.
About o'clock this afternoon the entire
police force was on reserve. All the west
stations were filled with officers up to that
hour, but absolutely no trouble was en-
countered. Where it was expected that the
anarchists would hold meeting at a hall
at No. 600 Blue Island avenue, number
of officers in citizens clothes were detailed
to watch the place, bat passed the day in
idleness, for no meeting was held, and not
as many people patronized the saloon as do
on most pleasant Sundays.
ONLY DRANK BEER.
At no time were there more than fifty
Germans in the saloon, and these were all
the time seated about the tables, quietly
drinking their beer,

were closed by order of Inspector Bonfield.
Usually there are meetings held over
Flouies saloon, at No. II West Lake street,
and over Grief's, at No. 81 West Lake
street. These places were both
closely watched by special officers in
citizens clothes and by detectives from the
Central station. In the West Chicago
avenue district, only one meeting was held
and that could hardly be termed meeting
of anarchists, although among the 250 or
800 who attended, were number who
were known as anarchists before and after
MAY 4, 1885, This meeting was held in Otto
Reichert's saloon at No. COG Milwaukee
avenue.
POLICE IN ATTENDANCE.
The police were notified that such meet
ing would be held in the middle Of the week,
but the proprietor requested that officers be
sent to attend the meeting, in order that
there should be no cause for apprehension.
Accordingly detectives were admitted to the
hall, and were present from the beginning
to the close Of the meeting.
ITS OBJECT.
1t was held ostensibly by German free
thinkers for the purpose of organizing
society among the believers OF social and
religious liberty, the aim of which should
be the founding of school for children
where religion might be entirely done away
with About 800 people were present,
mostly women and children. The meeting
adjourned at o'clock, and the detectives
then went TO the central station.
