4 iaer Proposition.

There Is a proposition awaiting judicial decision which turns over Chinese accused of certain crimes to the Federal courts. This propo- aition, to say the least, Is peculiar one. If all Englishman, a French man or German comes to San Francisco and violates any of our city ordinances the state or city courts try the case, and they find him guilty, convict and punish him. Thelr respective government have nothing to say so long as we pursue the same course in regard to them that we do to natives. But the Chinese seem to think that the 'act of their being aliens entities them to a trial by our Federal coaIts.
 These lawyers assume probably that tue Federal courts will pronounce

The SpOks of Diamond island.

For some time past rumors have been circulated in Hardin to the effect that Diamond Island, in the river about two miles from this place, was the home of a ghost. The stories concerning the move ments of the alleged spook were, of course, not given any creJenee It first, but later, when several reput .- ble citizens of Hardin announcei that they had positively seen an ua- canny looking object moving abo1t on the island at night, the rum DTS were more seriously considere Now, after investigation, the mys- terious something is no longer col- sidered a myth.
 Along toward midnight pee 4 liar light is seen at the foot of the island. It has the appearance of Il huge ball of fire, and Is about the size and shape of an ordinary barroI.
 A few nights ago a party or young mem from this place deter mined to visit the island and fathom the mystery if possible. Equipped with revolvers, knives, shotguns, and clubs, the party securel a boat and were soon cutting through the water at good speed for a point on the island near where the spectre usually made its appearance. Ar irving at the landing place the six if was hauled up on the shore and the young men took up a position Il. q clump of trees close at hani to watch and wait.
 Suddenly the whole point of the island was illuminated, as a bri sht red object rose apparently from the water and glided up into the air Ascending to height probabiy Of forty yards, the watchers saw the lurid ball fade away.
 The investigating party had seen all they wanted. They mlle d mad rush for ths boat, but, just as they reached the place where they had left it, they were mortified to see the little craft moving out oa the water from the island. At first its only occupant seemed to be the red ball of fire, but the next mo meRt the watchers saw the crimson object gradually take the form of a man, and they saw him, too, dip the ores at regular intervals and pull long, steady stroke.

The Pension Once.

The bus ness of the pension office can hardly be appreciated. It takes a clerical force of l,600 men and women, all of whom are kept up to the scratch by General Green B. Raum, the new commissioner of pensions, who makes his hours and those of the people about him from g o'clock in the morning till In the afternoon. The files of its cases would carpet stlte if the papers were spread out. The old documents among his records would make strip as wide as wagon road aud long enough to reach around the whole world. It has settled millions of claims, and there are now more than 100000 cases in the office awaiting settle ment. The mail of the commission CTS amount to 3,OOO,OO0 letters a year, of which 2,000,000 require prompt answers. Most of the let ters are managed by clerks, and the pension office postoffice and dis tributing rooms is as big as that of many a village postofice, Nearly every letter requires research, and many of them consume several sheet of note paper. Nevertheless about l0,000 are answered each day. More than 1000 pension cases are settled every week. It is undaubt- edly the biggest business of the kind in the world, and it grows bigger every year.

Big Land Swindle in Kansas.

A big land swindIe is being work el in Kansas. Men claiming to own large tracts of Texas lands have been operating in this state for the purpose of trading them for Kansas real estate. They have been doing big business with bogus deeds and abstracts, selling land which they do not own. The off, cials of Presidio county, Texas, have written to Topeka parties that hundreds of these fraudulent deeds are in circulation A man named L. J. Strickland has been trading thousands of acres of Texas Lands for Kansas property. Most of the business has been done through his confidential friend, A. $ Nelson. However, Nelson was not empower el to act without first consulting Strickland, who, while he worked all the trades through, kept himself in the background. They made a trade with George W. Watson, giving him some of their Texas lands. Watson turned the deeds and abstracts over to his attorney who at once pronounced then for cerie5.

priating ' cents out of every Sl00
 for the taxes collected in each coun-
 ty, for the purpose of building the Territorial University. The Super
 visors of Maricopa, Mohave. Yava- pal and Yuma counties however failed to make this appropriation, claiming that the legislature passed the act after its existence had legally expired. Now that the de cision of the Supreme Court seems to have established the legality of the acts passed by the legislature after the 60 days limit, the Super visors of the counties above men tioned will be held personally re- sponsiblp for the failure to make the above appropriation, and they will be called on to make good the amount which should have been collected. In Pima,, Cochise and Yuma counties, the s. P. Co.,, re- fused to pay over to the tax collec- tor the amount due under the ap- propriation act above referred to. Now, however, they will also have to come up. When these funds are collected, the Regents think there will be sufficient to complete the University. As some legal steps will necessarily have to be taken for the collection of these amounts, it will probably he winter again, before the University is completed. Citizen.
