SANDERS TALKS.

He Explains That His Intended Bill Does
Not Contravene Carter's.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-[Special. 1-San-
ders, in his remarks upon the bill which he
proposes to introduce relative to the min
eral lands within the Northern Pacific
grants, says that his bill does not in any
particular conflict with the bill intro
duced by Representative Carter. Carter's
bill provides for a commission to examine
the land and determine whether or not they
are mineral. Sanders bill declares that the
company shall not acquire title to lands
which have been or may be patented to the
company if they shall be found to be min
eral. He says that he has no wish to do the
company any injustice. The act never con.
templated that it should have the mineral
lands. They are entitled only to non-min.
eral lands, which they will get. But" adds
he, "the people of the state of Montana do
mot intend that they shall have any more than
what the grant calls for. The company
tries to get all it can, and as a rule the peo-
pie are against giving it all that it is en-.
titled to-"

All Down But Two.

BUTTE, April 23.-[Special. The contest
as to who shall have the millions left by A.
j. Davis narrowed down to-day to John
Davis, his brother, and Henry Root. his
nephew. These two men have been the
prominent figures throughout the entire
contest over the administratorship and the
fight between them has been long and Bit
ter. The objections that were made against
Davis have been want of capacity, drunken
ness and conspiracy with his brother,
Erwin, to secure possession and keep out
the heirs. The chief objections against
Root has been want of residence and on
these lines the contest of to-day was made.
Most of the time was spent in rebuttal by
both parties. no new points of weight being
raised. The last witness to be examined
was A. J. Davis, Jr., confidential clerk of
the deceased, who opened in court the pri-
yate papers left at the death of his en-
ployer and friend. According to figures
drawn from these papers the value of the
estate will not be much above 81, SOC, 900.
It was thought this examination would
bring will to light. hut nothing CT the
sort was to be found. The case is now in
the hands of the lawyers and it is thought
that the arguments will last until noon to-
morrow. The general opinion now is that
the case will go to the supreme court, no
matter who gets appointed.

BOTH GOOD AND BAD.

| While the report from the state board Of
| agriculture is to the effect that the corr
| crop of Kansas will only be 80 per cent o.
| last years crop, yet it will be equal to the
demand. and the price, instead of being 1:
or 10 cents per bushel, will be 80 or 90 cents
per bushel So if Kansas produced one
| third of a crop this year and gets -four
| times as much per bushel for it as last
year short crop is to her financial benefit
-Garded City Sentinel.
As mathematical proposition the
foregoing is correct, and there is little
doubt that the state as a whole is in as
good, if not better, condition financially
with its present short corn crop than it
was last year with its big crop. But
this is not true of all the people, mores
the pity. The fact is the short crop this
year will hurt class that is not in a
condition to stand it-small farmers, and
some others who were compelled to sell
their big crop last year at the small prices
offered to meet immediate needs and
pressing obligations. The failure this
year leaves them without either crop or
money, and the high prices that will be
so advantageous to those who were able
to hold their surplus crops last year will
only add to the distress Of those who are
compelled to buy.
