ANTI-SHEEP LAW.
Arizona Makes II Bad Break which Con-
gIess will Scarcely Approve.

WASHINGTON, March I.--There are bills
pending before the senate and house ter
ritorlal committees to legalize various acts
which passed the last legislative assembly
of Arizona, and all the acts which passed
the last legislature OF that territory, except
that which removed the capital from Pres
cott to Phoenix, which was the only law
passed within the limit OF time allowed by
Law.
Among these acts thus sought to be
legalzed, is the trespass act, which pun
ishes by fine or Imprisonment anv person
who close herds sheep on the lands of
another, the effect Of which would be to
crush out the sheep Industry and turn
over to the cattle syndicates millions of
acres OF the public domain.
The intervening sections of the At
lantiC q Pacific railroad land grant are
owned by the cattle men and are not
fenced, and if the sheep raisers are to be
thus driven off, the cattle men will piac-
tiCaIly control the alternate sections owned
by the government.
Argument has been made nv Judge J
j. Noah before the senate and house ter
rltorlal committees, against the legaiha-
ton OF this trespass act, and it is likely
that report will be made annulling the
same.

LAND LITIGATION.
The EJectment Suit OF fJaramillo VS.. Grant
on Hearing in the District Court.

The ejectment suit of Pedro l. Jara-
milo, against Henry Grant, of Ell Rito, is
before the district court to-day and is ex-
citing considerable attention from the
fact that involves several very nice legal
points touching unconfirmed land grants.
Mr.. Jaramillo holds 100 acres Of land
covering the town OF Ell Rito under a
homestead patent from the United States
government. After this entry was made
in the Santa Fe land office and also after
the patent had been issued, Grant, who
had been in possession of small part Of
the land, set up the existence of an old
Spanish grant and claimed to hold under
it. In defense of his claim he now goes
into court and alleges that he had rights
there which under the treaty OF Guada-
lupe Hidalgo the United States was
bound to respect, and that the local land
offices erred in accepting all entry for the
land in question.
The records of the surveyor generals
office show the application for agrant was
not made until long after the entry was
made and patent issued to MIR. Jaramillo
and that at the time OF filing the entry il
the land office there was nothing OF rec
ord to indicate that the land was othel
than public domain.

New YORK, March "a Montreal spe-
cial says: "a league has been formed
here to bring about the independence of
Canada by 1892. All the American pow
ers are to be asked to exert their moral
influence, and if needs be, concerted ac-
ton to free the country from the last
yestige Of European rule on the CONT
nent. The league will have united with
it all the liberal clubs in the country.
American universities are to be invited
to cooperate, as well as political bodies.
The league has for its object the bringing
about of final triumph Of Democratic
institutions throughout the world. The
league will be under the control of the
supreme council, wholeIctious arc to he
kept secret. This new departure, com
ing after the recent actions OF the Liberal
clubs in declaring for independence,
causes much comment here.
