The Nicaragua Canal.

The active interest now taken in the
work on the canal Of Nicaragua recalls TO
mind some oil the previous attempts at the
same enterprise. An interesting one which
proved abortive was that conceived by GER
tain friends of Louis Napoleon. afterward
Napoleon ILL.,, Emperor of the French.
when he was prisoner in the Castle of
Ham. Some prominent men in Central
America had been SO much impressed by
one OF the princes pamphlets which they
had read that they induced the Cen
trail American minister at the court of
Louis Philippe to call upon the young
captive and 10 offer him an asylum be-
yond the seas in case his liberty was ever
restored TO him. Napoleon was delighted.
and not only accepted the prof;ered asylum,
but the presidency OF a canal company
which had just then been projected.

Atlantic and Pacific oceans. A

Shortly afterward the promoters were dis
couraged by NapoIeon's announcement that
he would die in prison rather than make the
declaration demanded by King Louis Phil

Napoleon escaped from Ham. in 1916. he
also had forgotten the Nicaragua affair, and
had undertaken more difficult ii not an
equally honorable task.

SIOUX SCRIP FILINGS.

The important question whether Sioux
scrip filing can be made by an attorney in
fact has been determined in the negative
by recent decision of the secretary of
the interior. He says:
tits contended that upon the location be-
ing made under the circumstances stated,
the title passed ut once out of the United
States as effectually as the title to lands
granted to aid railroads pass upon the fill
ing of the map Of definite location, and
the decision in Larrivierre VS.. Wade
held that the location of land with
scrip under the act Of Jnly II, 1854, pass
ed the fee out of the United States into
the person to whom the scrip was issued.
This doctrine may be accepted, but it
hardly needs argument to establish that
in regard to such effect the location must
be one authorized by the act of congress,
and this position is not the least anita gonis-
tic to the decision cited, for in that case
there had been valid location, the court
in the recitation of the facts stating the
claimant under the scrip located said scrip
upon property in dispute, fully comply
ing with the instructions of the general
land office. If a piece Of scrip were
stolen and the letter Of the attorney forg-
ed, and thereby the location made, it is
plain that upon proof of the facts the
commissioner would cancel it, and that
the scrip would be returned to tho half
breed to whom it belonged. In like man
ner, if the scrip be actually in the hands
Of the parties seeking to locate it for their
own benefit, contrary to the statute and
regulations under it, it is equally in the
power of the commissioner to reject the
application and deny the attempt to SO
misuse the scrip and secure public land
without right thereto.

THE MONTANA LEGISLATURE.
A Synopsis of Yesterdays Proceedings in
Both Houses.

HELENA, Feb. 21.-CouNc11: Con
vened at 10 a. m.
Thompson Of Deer Lodge called atten-
tion to the fact that there was Il rumor
that the Dakota legislature was on the
road to Helena to pay visit to the Mon
tana legislature, and moved that COM
mittee of three be appointed to act with
like committee of the House to ascer-
tain the truth of this rumor.
Brown thought if they were coming to
visit the legislature of Montana that they
ought to give some official notice. He
thought it would be fair to meet them
and show them around. As they were
booked to arrive tomorrow and rs there
was to be an excursion to Great Falls on
that day, the fact should be ascertained
as soon as possible if they were coming
The president stated that the railroad
officials had been kind enough to extend
to the Dakota legislature an invitation to
accompany the Montana legislature to
Great Falls as the guests of this body.
The president appointed Messrs. Thomp-
son Of Deer Lodge, Middleton and Hatch

occasion.

KANSAS VS.. TEXAS.
Fourteen Round Contest at Gainesville
Between Johnson and Walker.
The Decision of the Referee Still Leaves the
Championship Between Kansas and
Texas in Doubt.
Still in Doubt.

Special to the Gazette.
GAINESVILLE, ,. TEX, Feb. 1.-THE
much talked of pugilistic contest between
John Johnson of Kansas and John Walk
er of Dallas, came off in this city last
night About one hundred persons wit
messed the contest The match was four
teen rounds with six ounce gloves, Mar
quis of Queensbury rules and the winner
to receive all the gate money. The con-
testants entered the ring about $3.50 Jim
Sewer was second for Johnson, while
Frank Mills performed a like service for
Walker w J. Garter of this city was
chosen as referee.
The contest opened in a lively and
vigorous manner, though it was apparent
that Johnson was in much better form
and more proficient in the science of
boxing. He managed to get out of the
way of Walker s blows and got in some
good righthanders on his opponents
face. The contestants clinched several
times during the match and pounded each
other vigorously until separated. john
son would make lead for his opponent s
face and then fall on the floor, but was
told by the referee to stop such tactics as
neither could win and that was
not the.way fighting was done in Texas. -
Up to the seventh round neither party
had gained any decided advantage and
neither was much punished. In the
seventh, however, Johnson got IN good
one on Walkers nasal organ, which
caused the claret to flow copiously.
First blood was allowed for Johnson.
After this the contest continued with
varying results, though Johnson ap-
parently had the best of it. At the end
of the fourteenth round the referee de-
clared the contest draw and all bets off
Walkers face was badly bruised and
johnson apparently received little pun
lshment The sympathy of the crowd
was with Walker, though this appeared
not TO discomfit the Kansas man in the
least, as he slugged away vigorously after
each round of cheers for the Texas man.
The decision of the referee still leaves
the matter in doubt as to the champion
ship between Kansas and Texas.
