WASHINGTON, May 13.-The log book of
the Harriet Lane, which was Admiral
Porter's flagship at the time when Gen
Butler says the admiral run away became
for brief period document of great i'm
portance in the Butler Porter controversy,
because 1t could not be found. Gen. But
Ter in his hunt for evidence looked in the
files and records of the navy department
Tor this log book. He could not find it,
and reported the fact to
Secretary Tracy, who set a
force Of clerks at work searching for it.
When Admiral Porter was told that the
book was missing, he said; You know
that the Harriet Lane was captured by the
Confederates under Gen. Magruder. in Gal
weston harbor, several mouths after the
fight at Fort Jackson. The enemy were
not in the habit, when they captured one
OF our vessels, of sending her log-book and
her signal-book and other papers to Wash

SEEMS LIKE SOUND LOGIC.
The Northern Pacific's Land Oper-
atIons in Montana EXpIained.

lie NtBEIhGfD l4aINA per-
ations in Montana Explained.
Some of the Republican papers of
-iontana have been attempting 10 make
POLITICAL capital over the prospective DIFF
nculties between the Northern Pacific
and the mining men. It's charged that
the Northern Pacific IS attempting a
gigantic steal or land grab, in trying to
secure 10 itself certain mineral lands
specially exempted in the grant to the
company. Maj. A. g. Postlethwaite was
asked for 4 statement regarding this,
but referred his questIoner to Col. Lam
born. The latter being Ia Duluth. the
major explained the situation as follows:
The original grant to the Northern Pacific
specified that ali mineral lands be exempt
from the grant, and that the road had no
right or title 10 them. The Surveyor general
made a report on the law, but IN the nature
CT things could not report IN 4 general wey,
rs il is q practical impOsSibilitY 70 prospect
such lands thoroughly. The claim of tine
Northern Pacific is simply this: that If
mine be discovered on its land. the burden
of proof that the land is more valuable for its
minerals than for anything else, rests upon
the claimant and not upon the railroad.
That Is TO say is claims right 20 all the
lands not reported as mineral until conclus-
i've proof IS furnished that thev are
mineral lands. In many eases 1t has decided
lands TO various people and the deeds have
been transferred and retraRsferred. If the
ROAD was compelled TO surrender its title to
any land just because some fellow comes
along and says il is universal. the titles to
vast amount Of property between Duluth
and the Pacific coast would be Imperfect.
The company claims, therefore, that il man
wants 10 locate q mine on any of its grant
lands he must furnish absolute proof that it
is more valuable as mineral than as agricult-
UTal land. As for any political motives, they
are ridiculed. Even Mr. MOhler. who cannot
be considered as q warm friend of the North
crn Pacific. laughed when it was suggested
yesterday that politics had any connection
with the Northern Paeifc's position.

been able to see Louisville as well as if
it had been pleasant. The party ar
rived here at 1880 O'Clock last night.
and were escorted to the Gait house by

music, and the reception committee.
The streets along the route were lit up
by numerous arches of gas jets at every
street crossing. Gov. Buckner, eX-GOv.
McCreary, Senator Blackburn and Gen.
Wat Hardin were at the hotel to greet
the visitors. This morning it was rain
ing hard, but while the delegates were
at breakfast the downpoHr ceased. but
during the remainder of the day it
looked as if it would recOmmence every
minute. The board of trade was the
first place visited. After speeches of
welcome by Hon. Harvey NJ. WattersOn
and eX-Gov. McCreary, and a response
by Senior CalderOn, of Colombia, the
party started on round of inspection,
visiting the Farmers tobacco ware
house, Avery'S pillow factory and kelly's
axe works. Thence by boat to the Glen
view stock farm. where they saw a col
lection of some of the finest race horses
in Kentucky and witnessed few
brushes between some of them. After
the races the party repaired to the Fin
castle club, where an elegant luncheon
was served, during which few short
speeches were made. Returning to the
Gait house at O'Clock, the delegates
went to the parlors, and for two hours
held an informal reception. Kentucky
girls, in all their beauty, abOunded, and
1t was next to impossible to get the
South Americans away from their fair
captOrs in time for their train, which
left for the Mammoth cave at IL o'clock.
