MANY TITLES AFFECTED.
A Supreme Court Decision Affect
ing California Lands.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The supreme
court to-day rendered decision in Case
No. 211-Lizzie Buxton and Anna J.
Voorhees,, plaintiffs in error. versus
Hattie L. Travers ct al, in error to the
supreme court of the state of Califor-
mia. The case of the plaintiffs rests
upon the contention that their father
acquired by occupation of unsurveyed
lands of the United States a right of
presumption (Which at his death de-
scended to the plaintiffs) under the
laws of the United States. The court
holds that this contention is not well
taken. The court said: There can be
no doubt of the proposition that no title
to land in California dependent upon
Spanish or Mexican grants can be of
any validity which has not been sub
mitted to the board provided for that
purpose in the act of 1851, and the judy
ment of the supreme court of California
is accordingly reversed" The opinion
in this case, it is said. will affect the
title to a great quantity of California

1T CUTS BOTH WAYS.
The Swanson Bill Will Cause a
Howl Among Dakotians.

The Dakota legislature on the last
day of its session passed a bill known
as the Swanson BILL" defining the du-
ties of railroad and warehouse commits
sioners and prohibiting any discrimin-
alton in passenger rates by the rail-
roads. 1t provides that there shall be
fixed published schedule of rates, and
that any deviation therefrom shall be
punishable by a fine of from 81 900 to
$4,000 for each Offense, the county at
torney or attorney general to bring the
action in the name of the state James
Mcknight, counsel for the Northern
Pacific, says that this bill has an
contemplated by the Legislators
who passed it in such hurry.
1t not only stops all special rates, but
prevents the issue of passes to any one,
stops reduced rates to clergymen and
the issue of mileage tickets at any but
ordinary rates. The railroads have
nothing to kick at in the bill, as it is
money in their pockets, but it will cause
howl from Dakota when its wide
spreading effects become known. For
instance, there is to be territorial fair
very shortly, and all the directors of
fair association have passes to the fair.
WI. MCANduSit Has ADVISED MI. AlnSlle
that all these passes must be called in
at once. Not only must these be called
in. but every mileage ticket in Dakota
must be cancelled and no more issued.
This applies to all roads operating
in Dakota. The fact that Dakota legiS.
lators, like all others, are wont to travel
on passes. causes much amusement in
railroad circles, as all these passes must
necessarily be called i'll. What will the
legislators of Dakota do without passes?
What will the travelling men say of the
cancellation of their mileage books?
What will the directors of the Terri
torial Fair association, the newspaper
men, the state officials and others who
have been in the habit of riding on
passes do? What will the clergyman,
with a large parish to travel over
weekly, on stipend of few small
hundreds year, do without his re.
duced railway rates? AS Mr.. Nc
Naught says, the members of the legls-
lature could never have been aware of
the sweeping nature of the measure
they were passing, as it works gross in
justice to a large class of men. 1t is
amusing to think OF the legislators rid
ing home on free passes the very day
after passing this remarkable bill,
aimed at the railroads, but hitting the

WASHINGTON, April LIN the senate
to-day Mr.. Teller offered resolution
proposing open sessions of the senate in

brief speech in which he advocated
open sessions except on questions of an
international character. The resolution

that the president had stated that after
to-day he would not send any messages
to the senate except of a formal charac-

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.

The shaking-up that Senator TELLER
got over the HALSTEAD affair has done
him good-so much good that he yester-
day introduced resolution doing away
with that senatorial abOmination known
as executive sessions. The reason Mr..
TELLER assigns for Offering his resolu-
ton is that he is tired of being misrepre-
scented in regard to his votes in secret
session. The public have better rea-
son than that for doing away with this
abomination, but as long as senators
could not be brought to see the neces-
slty for it, there was no use in agitating
the matter. 1t is fortunate that some
thing has occurred to awaken the sena-
torial conscience on this subject.
