Gigantic Consolidation.

New YORK. April 1-[Special Telegram
to The BEE. l--Messrs. Gould and Hunting
ton have a plan which, If carried out, will
result in consolidation of railroad systems
such as this country has neversee before.
A broker who claims to have intimate knowl-
edge of Mr.. Gould's plans said: Before
many weeks the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe will be consolidated with the Missouri
Pacific. Then Huntington will bring in his
systems, and perhaps even the Mexican roads
will be included. The combination will come
under Gould's management and will be the
most colossal arrangement vet entered into
by him. MIR. Gould's hand Is becoming more
apparent every day in the hammerng which
Atchison stock has just received, and IL is
now almost certainty that the bear raid of
the last few weeks was manipulated from the
Western Union building 80 as TO give the
Gould faction chance to secure at little ex-
pense the blocks of Atchison which Gould
has been after. AS Gould stands in danger
of losing control of the Missouri Pacific, he
may not be able 10 take that line into the
consolidation system.n

Found Dead in the Ruins.

MILWAUKEE, April Mrs. Margaret
Knlin and her three children were burned
death in their home on Fifteenth street
early this morning. The house is small
two story frame building and Mrs. Kinlin,
with her children occupied three rooms on
the lower floor. UP stairs an old man named
Jung lived with his son and two daughters
and they were awakened about 2 O'Clock by
the smell Of smoke which seemed to come
from the room below The son
got up and going outside saw
smoke bouring from the lower rooms. He
smashed in the window, but got no response,
and then turned in an alarm. II was an
awful sight that met the eyes of the tremen
who arrived at the house soon after 2. In
the middle room, the doors of which had
been tightly closed, the charred bodies of
Mrs. Kinlin and two sons, John and George,
aged six and four years respectively, were
found. Later the body of Richard, aged two
years, was found in the basement, hole
having been burned through the floor,
through which the body had fallen.
There was every indication that the mother
had deliberately burned herself and children
to death. They had all occupied the same
bed. The smoke from the fire built beneath
IL had smoIhered them all. Mrs Kinlin's
body was terribly disfigured and the children
were horribly burned. Mrs. Kinlln's hus-
band, who was a carpenter, died about ten
months ago and she supported herself by
taking in washing.

village and works in the Tribune Office. He
is known here as ID. S. Benedict. He il very
quiet; makes few acquaintances; and In fact
was comparatively little known before 1t
came out that he was the hero OF the ad !
vertisement. He boards in u private family
and they say that he is very reserved; mover
engages in conversation; never goes ont in
the evening, and after supper retires to his

five feet five inches in height; light com.
pleXon, and would appear to be, about
twenty years old. He IS going to teach .

Wyoming ssock interests.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. April 1,-TSpecial Tele
gram to TIE BEE. IA well attended meet
ing of the Wyoming Stock Growers associa-
tod was held here to-day. A. T. Babbitt,
manager of the Standard Cattle company,
presided. The report of Secretary Adams
shows the present membership of tho asso
cation to be 1873. The association is out of
debt and in good financial condition. Terri
torial Veterinarian Holcomb reported quar-
antine arrangements perfect and no disease
existing in the territory whatever. An eff
tort to dispense with the association under
the plea that the board of territorial live
stock commissioners created by an act of the
last legislature was sufficient to attend to all
business heretofore looked after by the stock
association was defeated. 1he meeting de-
cded to continue the work Of the association,
reducing membership fees so as to allow of
owners of small herds joining. Reports Of
range cattle owners from all parts of Wyom-
ing indicate -no losses whatever in stock
during the past winter. The outlook for the
cattle business for the present year is
favorable,

HO FOR THE PROMISED LAND
A Letter of Instructions Regarding
Oklahoma Lands.
HOW ENTRIES MAY BE. MADE.
A Provision of the Law to Which the
Attention OF Soldiers and Sail
ors is Especially
Directed.
oklahoma.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The commissioners
of the general land office, with the approval
of Secretary Noble. has issued TO the regis'
ters and receivers Of the newly established
land offices in Oklahoma q letter of instruc-
tions, which is Of special interest to persons
desiring TO settle IN that territory. Tne
most important features of the letter are the
following:
An except reserved lands are made sub
iect to entry by actual settlers under tho
homestead laws Ill certain modihcatons.
Attention is directed to the general circular
of January l, 1850, containing the homesteaa
laws and the official regulations hereunder
THESE laws and regulations are modified by
special provisions of the acS of March y,
1889, in the following particular; 49,
|. The rule stated under the title, "Only
one homestead privilege to the same person
permitted" )" Is so modified MS to admit o
homestead entry being made by anyone who,
prior to the passage OF said act, mad maze
homestead entry, but failed from any cause
to secure title in fee to land contained
therein, or who, having secured such title,
did so by what is known us Communication OK
his homestead entry. With regard to a per-
son making homestead entries and railing 10
acquire a title thereunder, or, commutlng
them after the passage of said act OF March
g, 1889, the rule as to second homesteads is
operative and will be enforced in relation TO
these lands, as well as others.
2. The statute provides for the disposal OF
these lands "to actual settlers under home
stead laws only" and while providing that
'the rights of honorably discharged union
soldiers and sailors in the late cival war
shall not be abridged" makes no mention of
sections under which such soldiers and
sailors, their widows and orphan children,
are permitted, with regard to public lands
generally, to make additional entries in Ger.
tain cases free from the requirements OF
actual settlement on entered tract. IL is
therefore held that soldiers or sailors, add
dtional entries cannot be made on these
lands under said sections unless
the party claiming will, in addition to the
proof required, make affidavit that the entry
is made for actual settlement and cultiva-
tion.
Entries will not be subject to commutatfSd
under section 25J1. Any person applying to
enter or file for homestead will be required
first to make affidavit, in addition to other
requirements, that he did not violate the law
by entering upon or occupying any portion
of lands prior to April -. Town site en-
tries may be allowed, but limits the area In
any such entry to one half section, or 320
acres, as the maximum, whatever the num-
ber of inhabitants.

VII, Probably adjourn To-day.

WASHINGTON, April lit seems to be the
universal expectation among senator's that
the senate will adjourn the present special
session sine die tomorrow President Har-
rison has sent in about three hundred and
fifty nominations since the 5th of March, all
of which, with very few exceptions, have
been reported from the committee and will
have been confirmed before adjourn
ment. OF the offices yet to be filled
the most important are commissioner of the
general land Office and public printer. 1t is
believed that they will be filled within few
days. Editor Osborne, of the Los Angeles
Express, is believed to be the man selected
for public printer, but no satisfactory guess
can be made as to the land commissioner.
The general opinion is that w. r. Meredith,
of Chicago, who was supposed to be the
coming man for public printer, will succeed
E. .. Graves as superintendent of the
bureau of engraving and printing.

MRS. STONEwALL JACKSON.
The President Said to Have rendered
Her the Richmond PostofIice.

RICHMOND, Va, April l1.-[Special telegram
to THE BEE. THE contest between the rival
factions here for the Richmond postoffice has
assumed singular phase. 1t is now stated
that President Harrison has rendered the
Office to Mrs. Stonewall Jackson. This lady
lived here until few years since, when her
daughter was married. She has been living
with her father in North Carolina during
the past six months. Her father has reached
a very advanced age, for which reason she
declined the tender of the postofiee at
Lexington, Va, where the body of her hus-
band is buried. Her friends here,
will, however, endeavor to induce her to ac-
cept the Richmond postmastership, which is
a lucrative one. 1t is stated that the presi
dent thinks that by the appointment of Mrs.
jackson he will not have to recognize either
of the contending republican factions here,
and will at the same time give q position to
lady held in high esteem bY all.

tin, Tex, received telegram from the pres
dent of the board of directors at Austin
stating that the Texas legislature had passed
bill leasing the old capitol building at
Austin for ten years at S. per annum. The
state constitution forbids the property being

committed suicide yesterday afternoon by
hanging herself in stable adjoining her
daughters residence, q few miles in the

The authorities did not deem it necessary TO

cause is mystery, though among the neigh
bors many are assigned. Old age and feeble
ness of mind are regarded as the principal
ones She was honest and very industrious,

MORE SHIPS FOR SAMOA.
The Richmond, Alert and Adams to
BE Dispatched Mt Once.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The navy depart
ment is making every effort to secure ad-
equate representation at Samoa. Orders
were sent out to-day TO have the Richmond,
Alert and Adams sent to Apia at the earliest
practicable moment
While the vessels ordered to Samoa today
are fair vessels of their kind, vet they are by
no means equal to the three vessels which
were wrecked, and are of antique type COM
pared with the vessels of the German East
African fleet which have been ordered to
Samoa The old Richmond is the largest
of the vessels that will so down. She was
tons burden, 225 feet long, 4216 feet
broad, and ia draft. Her speed is
set down as nine and one-half knots when in
trim, but she is doubtless foul and much re-
duced in speed by her stay in the South At
lantic waters. She is commanded by Cap
tain a. N. Reed, with Lieutenant Comman-
der Louis Kingsley and Lieutenants
w. H. Everett, j. H. Q. Coffin, +. H.
Crosby, j. M. Robinson and j. o. Nicholson.
Her complement is twenty officers and
321 men. The battery is headed by twelve
ten-inch smooth bores, one eight-inch muz-
zle-loading rifle, and one sixty-pound breech
loading rifle, two twenty-pound breech-
leaders and some smaller guns.
The Alert is n 1000 ton vessel, built by
John Roach in 1875. She carries twentv-one
officers and 127 men. She is rated at ten
knots, is It's feet long by 80 feet beam, draws
1924 feet of water, and carries battery of
one eleven-inch and one nine-inch smooth
bores, one sixty-pound rife and four small
guns in n secondary battery. Her officers
are Commander James ID. Graham ana Lieu
tenants John Gurvin, F. +. Greene, j. T..
Moore, j. Parker, c. d. Bostice and w. G..
Hannum.
The Adams is rated at 1875 tons. She
was built in 1875 at Boston, by Donald Nc
Kay. Her length is 1S5 feet by
thirty-five feet beam, and 1873 draft. She is
set down as 9.3-knot ship, with battery of
four nlne-lnch smooth bores, one S-inch muz-
zle loading rifle, one sNty-pound muzzle load
ing rifle and FIVE guns in a secondary battery.
The detail for the Adams was almost COM
pleted this afternoon. She will be under di-
rection of Commander Edwin Il. Woodward.
There will be no new orders in regard to
Samoan affairs given to the commanders of
the vessels. Admiral Kimberly will
remain at Apia and will continue
in command of the squadron. The
admiral has considerable discretion vested in
him and may to considerable extent exer-
else his own judgment as to what should be
done should anything occur to render new
instructions advisable, they can be prepared
and sent to Samoa long before the war
vessels get there.
BERLIN, April 1.-The cruiser Sperber and
the corvette Alexandrine will depart for
Samoa to replace the German war ships
wrecked at Apia.
