1T is A PRETTY FIGHT.
Two Railways Want to Enter
Rochester.

Special to the Globe
ROCHESTER,, Oct. II. "A political con-
test has never attracted more interest
or divided the citizens Of this place more
radically than the two railroad PROPOSE
tions that have been before them for the
past week, one made by the Sault Ste.
Marie & Southwestern system and the
other by the Rochester & St. Paul Rail-
way company. A number Of largely-at-
tended meetings have been held and
both propositions thoroughly discussed,
and posters and leaflets setting forth the
advantages of the respective roads have
been circulated. A meeting of those in
favor of the Rochester & st. Paul rail-
road was held at the city hall this after
noon, and the Sault Ste. Marie & South
western people are having meeting at
the Grand opera house this evening.
The Rochester q st. Paul proposition
is to be voted on tomorrow, and the
Sault Ste. Marie d Southwestern pro-
position On Saturday. The result is
extremely doubtful, as, to all appear
ances, the citizens are very evenly di-
vided on the two propositions. Several
officials of both roads came here to-day.

delegates to the international marine
conference met at II O'Clock this morn
ing i'll the Wsliach house, and were
called to order by Admiral Franklin. 1t
was suggested by the president that the
organization of the conference be COM
peted. On motion of Charles Hale, NJ.
P, secretary of the English delegation.
Lieutenant Cottman, U. S. n, of the
United States delegation, was elected
principal secretary. Mr.. Hall stated
that Her British Maiesty's delegates
had been instructed that the
adopted by the American dele
gates, was too comprehensive to be ex-
hausted within the limited time at the
disposal of the conference. He had,
therefore, to inform the conference that
he and his colleagues thought it best to
cOnfine the discussions of the conference
to divisions one and three of the pro-
gramme. General division one refers
to marine signals, or other means of
plainly indicating the direction in which
vessels are moving in fog, mist, falling
snow and thick weather and at night,
and rules for the preventions of COLI
SI0nS and rules of the road" Division
three refers to "The draft to which YES
sells should be restricted when loaded"
MIR. Hall further stated that her majeS-
TVS government would not consider
as binding any of the regulations or
conclusions adopted by the conference.
W. w. Goodrich, delegate from the
United States, proposed resolution
that each nation represented in the con-
ference be entitled to one vote ON every
question. This was adopted, as was
also another resolution, introduced by
Mr.. Goodrich, that the articles of revis-
ion OF the International Regulations to
prevent collisions at sea be considered,
article by article, until finished. The
conference then began consideration of
the "Rules to Be Followed in the Navi-
cation of All Public and Private Yes
sells of the United States Upon the
High Seas and in All Coast Waters of
the United States, Except Within the
HarbOrS, Lakes and Inland Waters of
the United States," as basis for the
proposed international rules.

The Land Commissioner Refuses
to Certify Northern Pacific
Lands

Lands.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-General Land
Commissioner Croft has written letter
to James Mcknight, counsel of the
Northern Pacific Railway company, in
which he declines to comply with the
request of the railroad company to GER
tify the company'S list of selections to
the secretary of the interior for his ap-
prOval. Commissioner Croft takes the
ground that the secretary of the interior
in 1885 refused to do SO ''inasmuch as
the Northern Pacific railroad was not
completed within the time required by
the granting act, and as congress may
desire to take action In the prem
iSes looking to the forfeiture
of the grant and the restOra-
tiOn of the land embraced thereby to
disposal under the general laws of the
United States, l do not feel justified in
taking action in cases where the same
would be adverse to the settler, thereby
in effect awarding the land involved to
the railroad company In advance of an
expression of congress as to whether
said company shall be permitted to hold
the same. The commissioner says the
policy of the Office is substantially the
same now as set forth by the secretary
of the interior in the above paragraph
in 1885. and he must decline to change
the policy of the Office in this matter
until directed to do so by the secretary
of the interior.
