WASHINGTON, April 2.-The secretary OF the Ia.
terror has rendered another decision Affecting
the validity Of the Held notes OF veys Of public
lauds in Minnesota, BIZ which the state secured
isrge amount Of alleged swamp lands. Mar-
gatets. spence applied to enter the northwest
quarter dissection 19, town 63, range II, Duluth
land district, but was met with the protest from
the stare that those were swamp. lands and be-
;onged to the state. A bearing was had, aud 1t
was shown that the lands were nigh, dry and
even hilly The commissioner Of the general
land ONCE ahfmad the decision that Spence
should take the land. The state appealed To- the
secretary. claiming that tho government could
not 60 back the field notes. The secretary,
quoting from the old decision of Minnesota
againht Lachance. showed that while the stale

that the field notes were false and fraudulent
and that the lands are not swamp lands. lie al.
lows Spence to complete her entry. This is but
one oftwo or three cases which will lead up %
an entire resurvey Of the alleged swamp lands in
the northern part OF the state. 1t is alleged by

frauds have been perpetratcd In noting swamp
lands and that the government can only protect
itself by resurveys.

FOOLISH SENATOR'S.

On Saturday last the United
States senate rejected the nomination
Of Murat Halstead, editor Of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, for
minister to Germany His eonfrma-
ton was opposed BY all but two Of the
Democratic senators and BY six Of the
Republican senator's Cullom, Eyarts,
Ingalls,, Farwell, Plumb and Quay.
After the election Of Payne { Dem.
as senator from Ohio it was universal
~ believed that he defeated his Dem
ocratic appointment, Pendleton, by
the lavish use Of money, and as
Payne was also u representative Of
the Standard Oil company, one ofthe
most odious monnopolies in the world,
the result and ,nanner Of the election
were denounced in all parts Of the
country. When Payne was about to
take his seat an effort was made to
have the United States senate in
vestigate the charges Of bribery, but
the plan was defeated because a few
Republican senators sided with Payne,
and voted against an investigation.
In the heat Of this excitement Editor
Haktead most severely scored those
Republican senator who had aided in
shielding Payne from an investiga-
ton. PITT g r. So
For this outspokens attack on men
who certainly betrayed the interests
Of their country and their party
Halstead has been denied an honor
sought to be conferred ON him by the
president. That the high Office Of
senator should be degraded to the
use Of furnishing an honest and out
spoken critic is disgusting to a great
majority of the people Of the country.
The senators have emphasized the
unworthiness which Halstead called
public attention to four years ago.
When senators attempt to place them
selves above criticism they really
lover themselves below the sta II iard
proper for officials of republic.

With the purchase Of Alaska the
United States acquired possession Of
one-half of Behring's sea, which is
known as u ''closed' sea, and contains
most valuable seal fisheries. During
the last few years while Secretary
Bayard was at the head of the state
department, England has attempted
to obtain a foothold in Behring sea,
or the benefit Of these fisheries,
claiming that it was not closed sea,
and therefore the United States has
no jurisdiction beyond the marine
league, consequently the seal fishery
grounds, were beyond the control of
this country. Secretary Bayard, in
stead Of maintaining the rights of
this country to one-half possession of
the sea, sent circulars to the United
States representatives at different
foreign courts instructing them to in-
vite these countries to "enter such an
arrangement with the government of
the United States as will prevent the
citizens Of either country from killing
seals in Behring sea- England was,
Of course, very willing that the
United States should so readily give
up all claims to the sea, and was
ready for further negotiations by
which that country would have had
as much right over the seal fisheries
as the United States has. Happily
before 8Bayard #consummated any
such negotiation he was relieved of
the power to deliver any further
rights and privileges Of, ours over to
England. His successor is q man
who believes that his first duty is to
serve the interests of this country, and
who favors an American policy that
will mainttasiin. Cur rights and neither
interfere in foreign matters nor brook
their Interference in our affairs. About
the time Of these attempted negotia-
tions several British sealers had been
seized for poaching and by orders

released, and negotiations for pay
ment Of damages were being consid-
cred: President Harrison's recent
proclamation declaring Behring sea a
closed sen, indicates the policy Of the
present administration in this matter
and British poachers that venture in
to waters under the Jurisdiction Of the

The Albany and Astoria Railway.

City surveyor w. B. Barr, one of
the stockholders of the Albany and
Astoria railway of this city, which
was recently incorporated with a cap:
ltal stock of $l,00000O, commenced
the work yesterday of the preliminary
survey of the line. He has a party of
hl,ccn men. They Will make thj,
city their headquarters for several
days. The survey will start near the
ferry, and will be run on a direct line
through the northeast corner of Ben
ton county, through Polk and a por-
ton OF Yamhill counties, to Tillamook,
probably connecting there with the
Astoria and South Coast railway.
The definite location of the route is
the work undertaken by the survey
ors, after which the company will Sc
cure the right of way. With this ac-
complished, the company has assur-
ance that there will be no trouble in
securing ample backing to carry the
undertaking to its ultimate compile
ton.
The people of Albany have thereto
fore exhibited remarkable enterprise
In securing important railway connec.
tons, and if the Albany and Astoria
railroad is pushed through to give
this city, in addition to the harbor at
Yaquina, an outlet at the seaport of
Astoria, the result will be felt upon
the commercial interests of Albany In
manner calculated to exceed the
hopes of the city's future.-AlbGag

The Hume Divorce Case.

SAN Francisco, July 12.-The trial
of the divorce suit of Lizzie K. Hume
against Joseph Hume, the Berkeley
capitalist and Columbia river salmon
packer, has been commenced with
closed doors, Judge Ellsworth pre-
siding.
The parties were married about
eighteen years ago, and for some years,
until lately, resided in a comfortable
house on Bancroft Way, Berkeley. 1t
is said that recently the husband COM
planned of her spending too much
money in household expenses, blam-
ing her for extravaganza, and cur
tailed the allowance. This brought
on an estrangement and he left her in
possession of the residence, while he
put up at a hotel. 1t is further stated
that he offered her S150,000 and not to
sue for a separation, but it is stated
that he is worth a million or more,
and she would take nothing less than
a quarter of that sum, as the property
is said to be community property.
The case will be resumed on Monday

SAMUEL l.. NJ. BARLOW, a widely
known lawyer, and intimate friend of
ex-president Cleveland. died last
Wednesday morning at Glen Cove,
New York, from apoplexy. Barlow
leaves a fortune between S4000,000
and S5,0O0,0O0. Many anecdotes are
told of the great retainers he has re.
ceived. Two railroad suits are men
toned, from which he received $780,
600. He received $25,000 for one
hours work at the close OF the Franco
German war. Garrison and others had a
contract with Gambetta to furnish
1,600,000small arms. Before the con-
tract was filled Gambetta fell. Thiers
repudiated the contract, and the
whole consignment of arms was about
to be sold at auction, when Barlow
was retained. In one hour he had
a contract drawn, which all signed.
The arms were shipped then to Algiers,
and Barlow pocketed fee of $25,0O0
for his services.

GOOD GRIT.

CLEAR grit goes III ralIroauIng, as III
a good many other branches of busi-
ness, and the possession of it by vice
president King, of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad saved that company in
the recent floods from the loss of its
bridge at Harper's Ferry, and from
the complete paralysis that would
have ensued. The Potomac was
even with the bottom of the bridge,
and loaded with trees and heavy drift
of all sorts when Mr.. King got his
grit to work. 1t is the most impor-
tant bridge on the whole line of the
road, and if it had gone down business
would have had to be entirely sus-
pended for at least week or ten days,
and probably for much longer, for the
building of temporary bridge would
have been a difficult job. So Mr..
King coolly ordered to the spot all
the consolidated engines that he could
get hold of by verbal orders or by
telegraph. As fast as they arrived he
sent them out upon the trem-
bling bridge. There were ten
of them there at last, all that the
bridge would hold, and when the last
one ran ON, the water had risen 80
high over the floor of the bridge that
it put out the fires in the engines.
Consolidated engines are the costlies t
sort of rolling stock that railroad has
nowadays. They are used in hauling
the heaviest trains, and weigh twice
as much as what were considered a
few years ago the heaviest practicable
locomotives. If that bridge had gone
down with those ten engines on it
there would have been a loss OF half
a million dollars over and above the
value of the bridge. Nobody who saw
the bridge-what there was left of it
above water-and the ten huge loco
motives with their fires out and help
less as mere Jumps of iron would
have given a nickel for the chance of
their ever being of further use to
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Even gritty Mr.. King bit the end of
his cigar off as he reflected upon the
excellent chance he had Of being COM
PEELED to think up some explanations
for the satisfaction of the board of
directors. Grit won, however, and the
hundreds of tons of dead weight
that those engines placed upon the
bridge held it down upon its piers un-
til the water receded, and it could
safely be left to stand alone. 1t was
racked and strained, but it was all
there and in condition for use with
out immediate repairs, SO that the b.
and o. had its through business 60
ing as soon as the flood subsided.
Speaking of it afterward, DIR. King
said: II thought if we were going to
have loss we might as well have a
big one; besides that, we shouldn't
have had much use for the engines il
the bridge was gone"
