mitted on behalf of the secretary of war
and General Crook, statement before the
House committee on Indian affairs, IN sup

The French Language Question in Canada.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 21-The French
language question at last is settled After
six days debate, vote was arrived at to-
night. The governor was sustained in the
proposal to leave the abolition of French
in the northwest territories to local legis-
latures. They got a majority of SO. The
government made compromise with the
opposition this morning, and thus probably
avoided dissolution.
Colonel Amyot this afternoon said if it
were not for the province of Quebec and
her French institutions, the United States
would have annexed Canada long ago. He
predicted that as soon as these institutions
were wiped out by an English majority the
country would be annexed.
Sir Adolph Caron, whose constituency is
composed of mixed French Catholic and
English Protestant vote, left the house be-
fore division, thus deliberately avoiding
the vote. His conduct is severely COM

The Peralto Grant Claim Dismissed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Commissioner
Croft, of the general land Office, has rem
dered decision in the celebrated Peralto
grant land case in Arizona in which he
holds that no grant of the character claimed
was ever made. He decided against the
claimants on every point, and orders the
case stricken from the surveyor generals
docket. The claim has been MANY wears
before the department and embraces about
four million acres in the central part of
Arizona.
In his letter to the surveyor general the
commissioner says: "You have ascer-
tanned the facts in the case and report that
there is no claim under the laws, usageS
and customs of SPAN and Mexico, and
furthermore the present petitioners have
no connection with the alleged grantee
Reavis at first based his alleged rights
upon purchases from certain individuals,
but that chain of title through mesne con-
veyances ne has voluntarily abandoned, it
seems, as untenable, and now rests entirely
on the title of his wife as the legal descend
ent and only living heir of that Peralto to
whom the King of Spain is said to have
given principality. In this claim, con-
sanguinity and descent are set up for Mrs
Reavis, a verify which could be established
to the satisfaction of court, 1t does not
so appear from the proofs submitted,
which are of too dubious character to
warrant such a conclusion. Her heirship
is not proven, even allowing the papers
produced to be genuine. Suspicion sur
rounds the case as presented at every step
from its inception to the present time The
papers claimed as ancient documents, and
exhibited as muniments of title, are full of
Inconsistencies and anachronisms, and ut
