The Des Moines River Cases.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 20.-The answer to
the petition Of the United States In the river land
cases has been fled with the clerk OF the
United States circuit court at Fort Dodge. The
answer is quite long and denies nearly all the
allegations made by the plaintiff in its petition
and shows that the defendants in the great case
intend to make a defense on the ground that
their original grant from the government to
the state and from the state to the company
was legally and not fraudulently obtsiped; that
it was b mistake Of the government in issuing
patents to lands which had already been
granted; and that the government should in
demnify the settlers and not hold the company
responsible for its mistake. They show that
large number Of settlers are in reality squatters
and not bona fde settlers, - they claim to be.
The river lands involved in the suit amount TO
27O,676 acres, valued at millions Of dollars.

These Railroads Will Have to Report.
Some time ago Commissioner of Railroads
Taylor rendered a decision requiring the
Chicago and Northwestern, the Omaha, the
Manitoba and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul railroad companies, which have land
grants given them by Nebraska and other
states, to make reports to the Interior depart
ment concerning their condition, the same as
railroads which received land subsidies from
the federal government. All officers OF these
roads have contended that they were not
required to report to the commissioner Of rail-
roads, as are companies which have received
grants of land from the federal government, on
the ground that the interests OF the federal gov
eminent were IN no way involved as in other land
grants Commissioner Taylor, in his decision,
held that lands granted these railroads were
the same as lands granted to other railroads
directly by the government, since the states
granting the lands secured them from the
federal government with the understanding
that they were to be given in aid of railroad
construction. Assistant Attorney General
Shields and Secretary Noble have indorsed
Commissioner Taylor's decision and the rail-
roads named will have to report hereafter to
the commissioner OF railroads, the same as
other railroads built by the assistance Of the
federal government.
