IMPORTANT LAND GASES.
Decisions Rendered by the seoretar,
Of the Interior.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The secretary
OF the interior to-day rendered an i'm
portant decision in the case of the
Northern Pacific railroad against John
Stovenour, involving tract of land In
tho Bozeman, Mont, land district.
The secretary, in effect, holds valid and
unexpired the prc-emption filing exist
ing at the date when the grant
to the Northern Pacific company became
effective, excepting the land covered
thereby from the grant; also, that the
presumption OF the existence Of the pre-
emption claim ased on the expiration
of the statutory period decided for max
ing final proof and payment The pre-
sumption arises, therefore, that whatever
claim presumably attached to the land
by reason Of such filing has been aban-
doned. This presumption 10 not conclu-
sive, but is open TO reouttal by any one
claiming right or interest who may
allege the contrary.
The secrctary also rendered an impor-
tant decision in the ex.parte case Of
James w. Barry. The secretary, in this
case, holds that the pre-cmptor, whose
claim was pending at the time OF the
passage oftne homestead act. March 2,
1880, may transmuts mis- pre-emption
filing 10 a homestead entry, notwith-
standing the tact that prior thereto he
may have had the benefit OF one home
stead entry,

SEVEN MEN DROWNED.
They Were on q Fishing Excursion
and Their Boat Capsized.

BosToN June s.-This morning eight
young men started for a fishing excur-
sion in a sailboat When about mile
from Thompson's island, Dorchester
bay, the boat was stuck by a squat and
capsized. All but one were swimmers,
but, instead OF trying to swim ashore,
they tried to climb into the boat, which
was so heavily baliasted that their
weight would force her beneath the
surface, leaving them struggling In the
water In this msnner, the strength Of
the men was exhausted and they sank,
one by one, until but one was LETT. The
survivor, Walter Quinlan, had sunk for
the last time, when the boat. In rising,
came up under him, lifting him above
the surface. He rioated in AN uncon-
scious condition for some time, when
the boat was seen from the shore by
some employees OF the gas works at Cow
pasture Point, who went ont, brought
HIM to shore and resuscitated him.

BAND OF SMUGGLERS.
A Sensational Story Printed
at New York.
MILLIONS OF PROFITS YEARLY
One of the Principals Arrested
With Many Valuables in
His Pockets.

NEW YoRK, June 7.--lf the story
printed here to day is true, there is an
organized band of smugglcrs making
weekly trips between New York ana
European ports, who are oath bound
never to reveal the names of the agents
from whom they receive their goods. In
year the value Of these goods amounts
TO millions OF dollar.
The two latest seizures OF smugglod
goods were during the past week. In
spectors Bussey and Britton secured
goods abonrd tho Inman liner City of
Chester, and attempted to arrest Chief
officer Allen on the charge of SNUG
Cling, and two days later Inspectors
Brown and Donohue laid violent hands,
In the name OF the law, on Joines
Thomas, who was meundoring down tue
gang plank of the Aller with thousands
OF dollars worth OF watches, diamonds,
gold chains and lace in his pockets.
The story about the chief official Of
the Allen is that the officers found con-
siderable dutiable goods concealed In IA
set OF drawers beneath a berth in his
room. IL was then too late to obtain "A
warrant OF arrest. The following morn
Ing they boarded the ship with q war
rant for Aliens arrest, but he was
among the missing. The goods worc
seized and held at tho custom house,
but regarding the sudden disappearance
Of Allen there is a great deal ot theory,
The paper aflirms further that two Of
the higher officers of the big liner which
came up last night will doubtless he ar
rested Tor smuggling.
The Herald has this: inspector
of Customs Hussey declares that
many officers aud men OF the crews
Ot Timers running between New y ork and
ports of the United Kingdom have for
years been systematically engaged IN
smugglingdutiable merchandise into this
country and they are bound by the
strongest possible VOWS of fealty, to
those employing their services hero and
on the other side OF the Atlantic"

The alleged remarks of the prince, to
