Mineral Lands Excepted from Railroad Gran,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The secretary of
the interior to day decided the case of the
Central Pacific railroad against S. d. Val
entine, involving the question of the excep-
ton of mineral lands from railroad grants.
The particular tract involved is in the
Sacramento, Cal, land district The sec
rotary holds that by the terms of the rail
road grant all mineral landsm are excepted
from its operation, whether known to be
mineral IN character at the date when the
railroad company's rights attached under
the graft or not, if they are discovered to
be mineral lands at any time before the is
suance OF the patent to the company or GER
LITIGATION where patent is not required.
He also holds that the discovery of the min
eral character of the lands after the COM
pany's rights have attached to its granted
lands, proves such lands were mineral in
character at the date when the company's
rights attached, and were therefore within
the terms of the exception from the grant.
This decision is of vast Importance to rail
roads running through the mineral belts.
This decision Is contrary to the doctrine
laid down by Judge Sawyer, circuit Judge
in California, in recent decision in the
case of Prancemen against Newhouse.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The House this
morning took. up the bill for the adjust
ment of the accounts of laborers, work
men and mechanics arising under the
eight-hour law. The measure was
earnestly advocated by Caruth, DingIey.
of Maine, Covert, Morrill,, Flower, Wade,
Riley, Osborne and Farquhar Brewer
asserted the men who had worked in many
yards had entered into contract with the
government to work ten hours and had
been paid for ten hours work Today
they took the work uLder protest and
sought to be repaid for the extra two hours.
1t was too ridiculous an argumentto be pre-
sented. Brewer offered an amendment
providing that the act shall not be opera
tive whenever the court of claims shall
find the claimant performed the service
under any contract expressed or implie
| and has been paid the amount agreed upon.
The amendment was adopted and the bill
was then passed. The House then pro
| ceeded to consideration of the bill amend
ing the alien contract law.
After some discussion the bill passed
without opposition, as did also the bill pro
hibiting the employment of convict labor on
public works, bill to prevent the purchase
of supplies, the product of convict labor,
by the United States; the bill giving con-
sent to North Dakota 10 appropriate sec
ton of land for the use of the state agricui-
| tural colleges and the conference report on

Irish American Convention Plans.

DUBLINs6Aug. 30--The plans for the
Irish-American convention to be held in
America are now completed. Dillon and
OBrien swin be accompanied by two
other Irish members and the whole
party will be under strict instruc
lions from headquarters. The method
of warfare applied by the special
commission and the evidence given con-
corning the movements of the Irish dele
gates and their associates in America, have
rendered this step necessary. Important
changes are to be made in the methed of
transmitting subscriptions to the central
association. 1t has been customary to send
different sums to one centre in America
and then to Dublin. In future, the central
Office will be abolished and each branch
will forward subscription direct to Dublin

The Pacific Railroads Fundlng Rill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Representative
Dalzell to-day submitted to the House in
behalf of the minority OF the House COM
mittee on Pacific railroads report in OPP
position to the bill for refunding the debt
of the Central and Union Pacific roads. 1t
is signed by Dazell, Flick, Cooper, of
Indiana. O'Neil, of Massachusetts, and
Reilly. The opposition OF these Represen-
tatives is based upon different reasons and
they refrain therefore from setting forth
at length their individual views. Some of
them are of the opinion that this
legislation is premature at this time
as there are some seven years
yet to elapse before the maturity
of the debt. They may bring forth changes in
| the financial situation that would prove
any action taken at this time unwise. II
| the funding acts eventually prove the
proper method they can as well be passed
hereafter, when the real relation between
the government and the debtors at the time
the debts mature can be intelligently
grasped. The minority are unanimous in
the opinion that the railway companies are
not justified in asking anything upon bust
ness principles, except upon basis that
they shall pay the uttermost farthing OF
their debt. They are clearly of the opinion
as plain business proposition that the bill
reported by the majority gives an unjust
advantage to to the debtors and fails to dc
| Justice to the government.

a messenger for the police, and as the man
! crossed the street he stumbled over the
body OF the murderer, who had shot him
self in the mouth and then Jumped out of
the window, leaving his revolver on the
sill In the dead woman's hand was
clutched torn piece of paper on which was
scrawled the words, I'VE die together
This would seem to indicate that the woman
died against her WILL and by violence at
the hands of her husband. A pistol bullet
had pierced her heart. She was of fair
complexion and dressed in very good taste
The husband, 1T turned out, was spend
thrift and gambler, whd -Slad found means
to persuade the daughter of a wealty man
to elope with him. Her father cast her off
in consequence and her husband, having
lost heavily at Monte Carlo and other
places, said he had but ten marks left in
the world, grew respondent and tried to
persuade her to die with him. On her re-
fusal, ne shot her and then putting the
pistol to his own mouth fired and leaped

as his had been it would DE possible to seize

PORTLAND, Aug. 30.-[Special telegram
to TIE HERALD. The last stroke of work
for the present will be done to night on
the government jetty at the mouth of the
Columbia. The big tramway upon which
many distinguished people have been
hauled out over the bounding pillows must
cease hoping for further extension, simply
because Congress has been so eyerlastiugly
dilatory in making appropriations. The
old allowance has run out and the wheel
can turn no more. Major Handbury has
notified the authorities at Washington that
unless an appropriation is sent cut part
of the jetty. measuring 1000 feet, is in
danger of being wiped out of existence 1t
is altogether likely that the chamber of
commerce will take some action in the
matter.
