of opinion here, and the reasons advanced

his name
The pope is not very strong, and reliable
reports state that his wry frame can not
much longer endure the strain of his age

only compromise is an American cardinal

administration the Roman question would be

A Dreadful Calamity.

PORTLAND, Ore. June IA special from
Seattle says: Accurate records of the losses
would include every business man of promi-
nence in town. 1t is a dreadful calamity,
from which few have escaped. Tremendous
efforts were made by the fire department to
to stay the progress of the flames. The streets
were crowded and In many instances blocked
with teams loaded with vGluables of every
description, seeking places of safety on the
hills The burnt region covers blocks of the
solid and substantial property of Seattle,
and the entire water front, built mostly
of wood upon piles, which had been driven
into the flats. 1t had been predicted by in
surance men that the city would some time
be swept by fire, and only the wind from the
north-northeast which kept up a steady
blowing, saved that portion of the city north
of Union staeet.
Tacoma citizens sent to Seattle, this morn
ing, large quantity of provisions, blankets,
tents, apd 100 slaughtered beefs TO supply
the immediate wants of the homeless people.
Portland sent several carloads of pro-
visions, blankets and tents.

ment of Columbia. will send seventy tents

FENCING PUBLIC LANDS.
A Long Disputed Question Settled in
the Wyoming Courts.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 7-lSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. THE supreme court
decided to-day, that fencing public land
within The railroad limit is not illegal The
question arises through the granting of alter.
nate sections of land to the Union Pacific,
the railroad lands subsequently purchased
in large blocks by corporations and individ-
uals. The adjoining sections were still
owned by the government. The purchaser
of railroad land, when he attempted to en-
close his own property by running fence
entirely on his own land, necessarily en-
closed a section of government land to which
he had no right.
A great uproar was made about this by
Land Commissioner Sparks; and Governor
Baxter, month after his appointment by
Cleveland, was removed solely on this
ground. In 1885, law was passed declar-
ing such fences illegal.
The question never came up in the court
for ADJUDICATION until a year ago, when suit
was entered by United States Attorney
company Tor illegally enclosing government
land. The matter came up at Laramie City,
before Judge Sanfey, an appontee of Presi-
dent Cleveland who decided the law of 1885
unconstitutional. The case was carried to
the supreme court, and this ruling was sus-
tanned by majority of the court, Chief
Justice Maginnis dissenting
The court held that in beginning suit
against private party the government had
exactly the same rights as a private indivi-
dual and no more. III A sold large block
of land to b, and retained for his
own use small plat in the CEN
ter of It, it would be monstrous
to hold that A could prevent Is from fencing
in the property which he had purchased. A
should however, be permitted free ingress
4
ernment under this decision is for damage
done its land.
This complication was foreseen, years ago,
by the directors of the Union Pacific, who
endeavored to get congress to pass an act
granting them their land in bulk but this
was never done. The case will probably be
taken to the supreme court of the United
States
