United States of America against the Des

tious from the United States Attorney General

These lands located along the valley OF the
Des MONIES river, were granted to the COM
pany that is the defendant in the suit and
afterward settled upon by squatters. who
made their homes there for years. In the fall
of 1883 hundreds of them were evicted by
order of Edward Litchfield. who now owns the
companys title to the lands. The settlers

GRAND GROWLERS.
The Supreme Body of a Social Organi-
zatfon I'm Session in This City.

The Growers is rather droll name for
social organization of men who enjoy looking
on the bright side OF life and who prefer to
get all the enjoyment they possibly can out of
1t. Yet The Growers is the name they have
taken and as such they wish to be
known. There are four lodges in the
organiZation-one in New York, one in
this city, one in Brooklyn and one at Staten
Island-and then there is the Grand Lodge,
made up OF representatives from each of the
four lodges. This year the Grand Lodge meets
in this city and their first session was held at 1
O'Clock this afternoon at the hall of Washing
ton Lodge, No. 2, 9O4 Pennsylvania avenue
Thirty-five representatives are present and
while they are here the local members intend
that they shall enjoy themselves
The members of the Grand Lodge reached
this city this morning. and after a fra
ternal visit to the Growlers' club rooms
they started out to spend the morning
seeing the sights of the city. The local
Growers will give a handsome banquet
to the visiting delegates at Faber's at 7:30
o'clock this evening after which the Grand
Lodge will be tendereda reception and social at
the club rooms. Tomorrow evening all will go
on an excursion down the river on board the

THE SQUADRON IN BRAZIL.
1t Is Said the Ships Were Ordered There
ut MIR. Blaine's Suggestion.

Some discu ssion has arisen in naval circles
over the statement in New York paper, in its
correspondence from the squadron of evolu-
tion, to the effect that the orders to the
squadron to go to Brazil were given when Sec
retary Tracy was in Brooklyn and while Com
modore Ramsay was Getting secretary.
The inference to be drawn from this was
that the NEW movement was done without con-
sultation with the higher powers. while the
truth is that the original order came ~ Secre-
tary Tracy from the President aud that Com
modore Ramsay i'll signing the instructions
merely carried out the intentions OF his
chief. There il little doubt that the original
movement toward the transfer of the squadron
to Brazil Was made by Secretary Blaine, who
intimated to the President that the presence of
few American war ships in the vicinity of the
new republic would be of benefit to the prestige
of this country
