tional Commission this afternoon formally
accepted the joint site, consisting of the
Lake Front and jackson Park, as the loca-

expressive of the views of indi-
vidual Commissioners were offered, but
after the Commissioners had listened to de-
tailed explanations by the local Directors
vote was taken on the proposition to accept
the site as rendered, with the result above
given. Before this matter came up COM

permits. A resolution that committee in
this interest be appointed was referred to
the Committee on Organization.

Monster Demonstrations Protesting Against
the Mckinley Bill.
LONDON, July 2.-Eugland is becoming
alarmed at the prospect of damage to her
trade through the operations of the Mckin-
ley bill and a retaliatoTy tariff ON American
goods is the favorite remedy proposed.
Sheffield takes the lead in the agitation
which is springing up and monster requisi-
lions, signed by thousands of citizens, calls
upon the Mayor to convene a mass-meeting
to protest against the bill. The general be-
lief is the bill would practically prohibit
the sale Of Sheffield cutlery in the United
States. Birmingham, Wolverhampton and
other manufacturing cities are taking up
the cry, and even London, always the last
TO feel the throb of q great popular move
ment, is beginning to stir itself. Many
members of Parliament, irrespective of
party, are active in the agitation, and at the
present rate the movement will have as
sumed such proportions bv the opening of
the next session of Parliament that the
iCfuvernm Mt cannot fail to notice it. 1t may
turn cut to be the easiest means of getting
the Ministry out of the predicament into
which recent Parliamentary mishaps have
thrown it.

Land Decisions.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The Secretary of
the Interior has affirmed the decision of the
Land Commissioner in rejecting the proof
offered by George Fl. Hegeman, Louis
Toellner, George Toellner, George Ellis
and William l.. Horner in support of their
pre-emption declaratory statements alleg-
ing settlement upon separate quarter sec
tions of land in the Vancouver (Wash.) Dis
trict. The proof was unsatisfactory, meager
and incomplete. Assistant Secretary Chan
dler has affirmed the decision of the Land
Commissioner in holding Rudolph Miller's
entry to a tract of land in the Spokane
Falls District for cancellation, because he
was not bona fide settler. Secretary
Noble has dismissed the appeal of Alvin
Richmond from the decision of the Land
Commissioner in deciding against Rich
m0nd's claim involving quarter section of
land in the North Yakima Land District,
Washington, to which the Northern Pacific
Company also made claim.

banks of the Rhine, there is large meadow
where every autumn the storks are in the
habit of meeting previous to their annual
migration. On one of these occasions above
fifty storks were observed formed in ring,
in the center of which was one whose ap-
pearance showed the greatest alarm. One
of the party seemed to address the assembly
by clapping its wings for about five minutes.
1t was followed by second, a third
and fourth, who each clapped its wings
in the same manner as the first. At last all
the storks forming the ring commenced
done this, they with one accord fell upon
the poor culprt in the middle and dis
patched him in few seconds, after which
they rose up in body, and one, according
to custom, taking the lead, they winged
their way toward the south. What Offense
the poor stork had committed that had
brought upon him SO sad fate is of course
unknown.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The President has
transmitted to Congress the correspond
ence between the Department of State and
the Mexican Government concerning the
rights of certain Mexican citizens to have
their claims to land in Arizona and New
Mexico ceded to the United States by treaty
adjusted and confirmed. The United
States, says the President, owes daty to
Mexico to confirm to her citizens those
valid grants that were saved by treaty, and
the long delay which has attended the dis
charge of this duty has given just cause for
complaint. The entire community where
these large claims exist, and indeed all of
our people, are interested in the early and
final settlement of them. No greater in
cubus can rest upon the energies of peo-
pie or the development of new country
than that resulting from unsettled land
titles. The necessity for legislation is so
evident and urgent that l venture to eX-
press the hope that relief will be given at
