| To THE PUBLIC:
An advertisement in today's Ex-
press does injustice to the Fire Insur-
ance Agents of San Antonio which we
| ask leave to correct. The facts are,
| when the local insurance company be-
gan business, every agent in town
agreed to extend them all the cour-
tesies of the profession and offered to
| divide commissions with them on
such policies as they might find it
necessary, in the ordinary course of
business, to place in the other COM
panies represented here.
citors and other employees, has tax en-
ing to the public to place ALL their
plea that though they could only car
ry small fraction of it themselves,
they could dole out the remainder to
the several agents in town; this, in
effect, is simply levylng tax on the
legitimate earning of such agents, by
compelling them to surrender two
thirds of their commissions;-that
being the modest proportion demand
| ed ofus. This is a singular applica-
ton of the principal Give and let
liye.n
The local agents, in self defense,
simply withdrew their proposition to
| divide commissions and placed the
Alamo Insurance company ON the
| same footing as other customers.
Whether this be Officiating" to the
company or "forcing the insuring
masses to do business with" us, we
leave to candid public to decide.
We are not opposing the A lamo Fire
Insurance company, of which some of
us are stockholders, but the extortion
attempted by its employees probably
without the knowledge of many of it's
directors. We are not unwilling that
the company should have all the bus
mess it can carry; what we object to
is that they should attempt to levy a
a tax on all the insurance business of
San Antonio, whether they can carry
it or not.
The statement made by the Secre-
tary of the Alamo Fire Insurance
Company that "all premiums and
commissions earned remain here and
at once circulate in the trade of San
Antonio and Texas" cannot be true,
because according to his own show
ing they place insurance in five for
eign companies, and it is fair
to presume that at least seventy-five
per cent. of their premium receipts go
to these foreign companies. This
shows exactly how much reliance can
be placed on the statements of the
secretary of the Alamo Fire Insurance
company.

The House Committee Takes Action
ON the Senate Bill.

The House Com mfttee Takes Action
ON the Senate Bill.
WASHINGTON, January 3.-The House
Committee on Public Lands to-day took
action on the Senate bill relating to pub
lie lands, by means of which it is hoped
to secure legislation at this session of
Congress that will greatly modify the
public land policy of the Government.
The House passed during the last
session bill repeating the preemption
and timber culture laws, and otherwise
amending the land laws, but no action
has been taken on the measure by the
Senate. In order to facilitate the pas
sage of the essential features of this
general land bill, the House Committee
to-day took up the bill passed by the
Senate in December, providing that
the public lands of the United
States now subject to private entry,
shall be disposed of under the home
stead laws only. After making numer-
GUS amendments to the bill, Holman
was instructed to report it to the House
and ask it's earliest consideration. It is
the purpose of the Committee in this
way to endeavor to throw the proposed
land reform legislation into the hands of
the Conference Committee of the House
and Senate to secure, if possible, SUBJ
stantial changes desired to be effected in
our land laws. The bill agreed upon by
the Committee to-day provides that pub.
lie lands chiefly valuable for agriculture,
not subject to private entry, shall be
disposed of under the homestead law
only, and that the preemption
law shall be repealed. Persons
who have made preemption or
homestead entry of land, but
have not perfected title thereto, are
given the right to make another home
stead ertry. Whenever q settler upon
the public domain is unable, on account
of the destruction Of crops, sickness or
other unavoidable casualty, to secure his
support from the land located upon. the
local land officers may grant leave of alb
sence from the claim to the settler for
not exceeding one year. Homestead
settlers who have made entry to less
than one quarter section of land are
given the privilege of making another
entry, the aggregate quantity under the
entries not to exceed 160 acres.

DECISION REVERSED.
Validity of California Indemnity
school md Selections Sustained.

school and selections sustained.
WASHINGTON, January Sin the case
of the Uritad States VS.. the State of Cali
fornia, involving the question Of the
right of the State to indemnity for school
lands to compensate deficiencies in frac-
tional townships, made so by reason Of
swamp land found therein, the Secretary
has reversed the decision OF the Commis-
sioner General of the Land Office and
sustained the validity of said selections.
The selections in this case we're approved
and certified to the State prior to the act
of March l, 1877, as land inuring to the
State under the act of February 26, 1859,
providing for school land indemnity to
compensate deficiencies where school
sections are wanting or where townships
are fractional for any cause whatever.
The Commissioner held that said
selections are invalid for the re IN
that they we're based upon alleged
deficiencies in fractional townships
caused by swamp lands found
therein, and held said selections for
cancellation and directed that they
be disposed of under the proviso of a
section of the act of March !, 1877, which
allows the purchaser for the State to pur-
chase said lands of the Government
where said selections are invalid and not
confirmed by the act of 1877.
In reversing this decision, the Secre-
tary held that the State is not entitled,
as others under the language of the va
rious acts providing for the indemnity OF
school lands in the State of California,
to make selection in lieu of swamp
lands merely because they were swamp
and overhowed, but holds that under
the statutes applicable to the State of
California, directing surveys in said
| State, townships we're made fractional
| by reason of the existence of swamp
and overfowed lands in the same man.

tional or from any natural cause what
ever.
He also holds that the act of 1877 con-
irmed to the State all sections of land
made prior to the passage of said act and
not sold by the State, whether the basis
for such selections existed or not.
This decision, it is said, controls the
case of Elisha Wright ct al, appellants
against the State of California and J. w
Warner ct al, respondents, and involves
a large quantity of land.
