In Favor of the Northern Pacific.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.--In the case of
the Northern Pacific railroad company VS..
Randolph, Secretary Noble to-day decided
that by failing to appear to oppose the
final proof of proceedings on the part of
pre-emption or other claimants n railroad
company does not forfeit the rights which
the whole case made shows il to possess.
1t simply cannot insist any further OPP
portunity to contradict proofs submitted,
as il has had it's 'day i'm court" but IL on
these proofs themselves il still appears on
the face of the whole record that the COM
pany has prior or superior rights, judg-
mcnt must go accordingly. This decision
corrects the widely prevalent misapprc-
hension as to the effect of the Forest
and other cases which were supposed To
infiict forfeiture of rights upon railroad
companies who failed to appear AT
hpa rings.
