Land Case.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Acting Sec
rotary Chandler decided another Mime
sofa swamp land case and it is against
the state. The land is in the Duluth land
district, and the claimant, Sanford II.
Hudson, made application for home
stead entry March 90, 1887. The claim
ant, under the circular of Dec 10, 1886,
filed corroborated affidavit that the land
was not swamp, but high, dry and roll
ing, and that field notes Of survey were
fraudulent. At the hearing before the
land officers the evidence of the claim
ant was that the land was rolling. The
state put in no evidence, but moved to
dismiss the case on the ground that the
land, having been granted to the state
as swamp land, the government had lost
its right in the case. The commissioner
of the general land office decided against
the state and his decision is affirmed. In
all cases hereafter it is probable that the
state will have to prove that the lands
are actually swamp or lose them.

A Flaw Found in the Contract Labor Law
Which Renders 1t Imperative.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The treasury
department has discovered a serious de-
feet in the law to prevent the importa-
ton of contract labor. 1t was made
while the case of the twenty-five glass
blowers imported by Chambers & Nc
Kew of Jeanette, Pa, was under con-
sideration. The original law provided a
punishment for those who imported Ia
borers under contract. but made no dis
position of the laborers. The Fiftieth
congress, in the last days of the first
session, amended the law by inserting a
provision for the return of the laborers
at the expense of the steamship company
which brought them over. However, it
did not give jurisdiction in such cases
to any court, and officials of the treas
ury department say that if arrests
should be made under it, writ of ha-
beas Corpus would lie in each case. This
renders that portion of the law approved
October 10. 1888, entirely imperative
and laborers imported into this country
under contract can remain without let
or hindrance. The cases Immediately
affected are those of the Pennsylvania
glass blowers, and the Texas granite
workers, which have been before the de.
partment recently.

a little Child Carried Out Over Lake
Michigan Saved ny Rifle shots.
CHICAGO, Aug. l9.-Little 2-year-old
Sophie Schwab involuntarily became
kalloonist Sunday, and was waited high
up over the broad bosom of Lake Michi-
gan. A rilleman's skill saved the child's
life. The exciting incident took place
at Sheffield park and was witnessed by
/ 800 picnickers. An Italian peddler OF
toy balloons attempted to serve two pur-
chasers at once and in doing so let go
his string of bright colored globes. The
cord got twisted about Sophia's
left arm and also in her
hair, and the buoyant rubber bubbles
started heavenward, taking the youthful
Hronaut along. Sophie's mother tainted.
The bystanders stood horror striken,
scalcely breathing as the balloons swept
upward at least 100 feet, drifting then
out over the lake. Gust Koch, a sharp
shooter who was attending the picnic
with his repeating rifle, hurriedly
jumped into a skiff with two compan-
ions and pulled out into range. Koch
succeeded in piercing several of the bal
looms, each successful shot helping the
bunch to descend. Before it finally
reached the water, the boat was at the
spot. and little Sophie did not even get
her feet wet.

sympathy for BouIanger.

LONDON. Aug. l9.-Frenchmen resid.
ing in London called upon Gen. Boulan-
ger at his residence and presented him
with an address of sympathy and conf
dence In replying to their spokesman
he entered into the matter of his trial
and conviction by the French senate.
and took occasion to deny the charges
upon which he was tried. He said he
had never, upon any occasion. made use
of funds belonging to the state, except
while trying to compass the safety of
France when attacked by enemies. If
they had been cited to appear before any
regular court in France to make answer
to these outrageous charges, he and his
colleagues would have FASTENED to take
the first steamer for France. But such
a course would not suit the purposes OF
those who. for the moment, were usurp.
ing the office of the republic. They
formed tribunal composed of his per
sonal and political enemies. and the enc
mics of his colleagues, by which all were
virtually condemned before it met. Oh
Frenchmen he said, he only asked thai
he be treated with fairness. and the tri
umph of their present rulers of which
they boosted so loudly at present, woulC
soon be a thing of the past.

CHICAGO. Aug. 20.-The Wisconsin
Central and the st. Paul and Kansas
City roads have given notice that they
would adopt the new proportional tariff
which has already gone into effect on
the Burlington and Northern road.
These roads will ignore the long and
short haul clasue of the inter- state COM
merce law on the same grounds set forth
in the Burlington notice, and while re-
ducing the Chicago to st. Paul proper
tions of through rates to basis of IL
cents, first-class, on business originating
i'm trunk lire territory, local rates will
be held up to the full tariff. 1t is antic-
ipated that ultimately all of the Chicago
roads will fall into line and place them
selves, as three roads have done, in a
position to profit by the exemptions
which, it is held, the law allows on the
Northwestern traffic.

correspondence between Rudolph and
the unfortunate object Of his love, Marie
Vetzera, is having an extensive sale, but
the authenticity of the letters is stoutly
denied by the court circle. Prince Sui

his keeping to himself such facts as il
might be disagreeable to the Austrian

eff Teemer puts up forfeit and agrees
to row over a neutral course, will
back Gaudaur against him for any
amount. In his challenge, which is not
accompanied by a forfeit, he stipulates
that the race must be rowed at his own

for a man who issues a challenge to
name the course, and especially select
his home as the place. Gaudaur will
row him on any neutral course. The
last match tried to make with Teemer
fell through because he refused to put
up his money.
