reservation. Although Dakota is divided
and two states admitted, vet the line OF di-
vision beyond the Mssouriis not established.
Technically, Dakota is not divided and the
president did right in admitting them as
twins. Not only are they twins. but until
the seventh parallel is carried across they
are Siamese twins. OF course this presents
no serious difficulties. An act of congress
may, and. no doubt, VIII establish the bound
aries through the reservation on a line with
the seventh standard parallel

ANOTHER UNITED STATES.
True Meaning of the Australian Fed
Grafton Scheme.


LONDON, Special-One of the most i'm
portant issues of the day is the proposal for
the federation of the Australian colonies
set forth in the dispatch which Sir Henry
Parkes, the premier of New South Wales,
has addressed to the premier of the other
colonies in Australia. ltis in reality an in
vitation to meet and consider a new form OF
combined colonies, sort of United States
in Australia, though most of the colonists
do not exactly so regard it, and England
has not the faintest suspicion of its mean
ing, The proposal here came about through
the advice of the military commissioner
whom England sent to assist the Austral-
ians to common scheme of national de-
fense, He reported in favor of q federal
Australian army, and Sir Henry Parkes,
who is a federalist, but not an
imperial federalist at heart, has
seized the opportunity and boldly told the
colonies that the time has come for grand
protection, not only for military protection,
but for all the uses that are implied by the
term. The reception which Australia gives
to the invitation will determine in great
measure the future fthat country. The time
seems ripe for somesuch movement, but it is
more probable that the change will not
come by violent or sudden changes, but
rather by gradual steps. The comments Of
the English papers on the matter are some~
what amusing. English editors and En-
lish politicians as a rule, know less, lift is
possible, about Australia than about the
United States, As usual, English editors
do not appreciate the significance of this
new utterance from the antipodean colo
nies, never dreaming that Sir Henry ParkeS,
whom they call an Imperial federalist,"
means to separate Australia from England,
and follow the lead of the United States,
nor will England realize the true condition
of affairs in Australia until the note of in~
dependence has been irrevocahlH sounded

DISCOVESED A JOKER.
One Clause Of the Act Admitting the
New States Sale to Repeal the
Pre-emptiOn Law.

FT0-0HlpLlOu Law
BISMARCK, N. D., Special Telegram,
The point was informally raised to-
day by F. NJ. Dudley, of the legal depart
ment of the Northern Pacific railway, in
the United States land office, that the pre-
emption law had been repealed by the act
of congress providing for the admission of
the new states. Section II of that act dis
tinctly says that the act is ''hereby repealed
as to the states provided for by this act" II
looks as ifit was intended to repeal section
8 of the act of Sept. 4, 1871, as to the dona-
ton of 100000 acres of public land to the
new states for public improvements, but
the text includes not only the repeal of thai
section but the whole law. There is nc
room left for legal construction and it is
possible that some enemy of the prS-emp,
ton law drew that part of the admission
act with the full meaning and force of his
words in mind. This point has not been
raised before and it comes in the nature OF
the discovery of "a ''jolly joker" The land
department has not dropped onto ityet and
that department may treat it as
WESTERN BUGABoo,
but it is certain the commissioner will be
called upon to give his opinion, and, if adj.
the secretary will be appealed to, and if he
sustains the commissioner the question will
be carried into the courts. This is the most
interesting bit of public land legislation in
recent years and is altogether remarkably
neat way of getting rid of law that some
people think has outlived its usefulness.
The repeal referred to also decides very
large number of cases where the Northern
Pacific Railroad company is party. II
the law is repealed all pre-emption filings
where final proof has not been made are
defeated. A -emption filing does not se-
cure vested right, and congress can re-
peal, as in this case without any proviso
specifically providing for the protection OF
settlers and their improvements. This
necessarily involves the rights of every
pre-emptor who has not proved up in the
four states. In the absence of any adverse
right II Is probable the land department
would construe the law as permitting the
settler to make proof anyhow.

SERIOUS FOR AMERICA.


SERIOUS FOR AMERICA.
In speaking of the possible consequences
of the revolution upon American trade,
one of the best known merchants in the
city, who imports largely from Brazil, said
last evening that they might be
serious. '"rhe trade in coffee, sugar
and India rubber" he said "will he
the principal interests affected. The total
importation of coffee to the United States is
600O0,OO0 bags, of which 33,000,0O comes
from Brazil. 1t is easy to see, without cX-
tended comment, what effect the cutting OIL
of such an amount of coffee would have. l
do not think that there is more than three
months supply in the United States at
present. With regard to rubber it might be
even more serious. Thirteen-tifteenths OF
the total importation of rubber comes from
Brazil. There is at present not more than
enough here to last one month, so that
should the revolution last longer than that
time the effect would be serious, indeed, to
those industries depending upon the rubber
supply. With sugar it is, of course, not so
bad, as we import only one-tenth of our
supply from Brazil. Still, the absence of
that amount would influence prices
throughout the country"
