NOW FOR CONTESTS.
Every Claim in Oklahoma Will Be
ClOuded,

WASHINGTON. April 25.- Commits.
sioner Stockslager, of the general land
Office, to-day said that from present in
dications the contests over land claims
in Oklahoma, would ultimately involve
nearly every quarter section of land in
that territory. This being the case he
thought it probable that the depart
ment will make the Oklahoma contest
cases a separate class, and dispose of
them at once. Otherwise, in the ordi-
nary course of business, it would likely
be eighteen months or two years before
they could be reached. Contests in
which abandonment is charged could
not be passed upon until after the expi-
ration of six months, as the law does
not recognize a separation of the claim
for a shorter period than six months as
abandonment. But cases in which
fraud or violation of the law or of the
presidents proclamation against going
into the territory prior to April %, were
alleged could be tried and disposed of
at once.

rHnANTIaUIrY OF MAN.

Prof. A. E. Verrill ae North SheHaeld
 Hall-Geology the Best Source of In-
 formaSlon-Human Remains in Cav.
 erms and Other Placeg-Old Remains
 in America.
 "The Antiquity of Man" was the subject of fine lecture by Prof. Verrill in the Me- chanic's course at North Sheffield hall last evening. He dealt with the age of man upon the earth from @ geological standpoint, and Interestingly illustrated the great interval be- tween the first and second traces of human life upon ehe globe to the present time. He spoke of many instruments such as spear heads found in the cliffs of lakes and rivers at early periods, and said that these were just as surely worked by human agency as the most elaborate thing of modern manu- lecture.
 There is much doubt, however, he went on, whether any human remains have been found in the gravel beds where these things lived at that time were much like the modern Esquimaux, as is seen by bones and other remains found in caverns of that period. It is quite likely that the modern EsQuimaux and Laplanders are the ineal descendants of their race. We may suppose that as the ice reC6O0O 70 the uOEGn LQ050 IAoA Acpt CIOSo IO to it, and these were brought Go the Arctic ocean. The Esquimaux are also supposed to be closely related to the Mongolian race.
 The oldest remains of man in the Eastern States of America, have been found in New Jersey and Virginia. Several other noted discoveries have been made in California. Vast quantities of lava were poured out from volcanoes in the tertiary period. There have been two instances where human skulls have been found under these lava beds. If VIC knew exactly how long ago the overflow oc- cured, we could give near statement as to the earliest. traces of man in that part. Some of these beds are as late as the cham plan period but most of them are far earlier. South Ameriea also has given several marked instances of the early presence of men on the American continent.
