Two Hundred Thousand Acres.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 23.-Secre-
tary Noble has withdrawn his order suspend
ing the approval of the final adjustment of
the land grants in favor of the Chicago, st.
Paui, Minneapolis d Omaha Railroad COM
pany, and the Wisconsin Central Railroad
company. These adjustments were approved
on February II, 1890, but subsequently, sus-
pended, because of the pending legislation in
congress looking to the forfeiture of rail-
road lands where the roads were not COM
pletec within the time fixed by law. Inas-
much as the forfeiture act passed by congress
applies only to lands opposite to uncon-
structed roads, the secretary decides that
there is no reason for further delay in these
adjustments.
A surplus of some 2oO,oOO acres of land is
left within the Withdrawals heretofore made
for the Omaha road. The surplus the secre-
tary orders to be restored to the public do
main, and after ninety nays public notice,
to be subject to settlement and entry under
the general land laws and certain rules now
prescribed.
These lands are located in the northern
part of Wisconsin, and are said to be valua-
bic. Applications have been made to the
secretary by parties claiming to be set
tiers on said lands, or purchasers from the
railroad companies, to reopen and change
principles of the former adjustment. But
the applications have all been refused. Rules
and regulations have been prescribed which
will amply protect all parties who have ac-
qulred rights to any of these lands.

The President Wants TO he sure-

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 2O.-The
president has been so busy with other mat
ters this week that he has not been able to
complete his examination of the papers in
the case of the Worlds Columbian exposi-
ton.
Representative Butterworth had an inter-
view with him on that subject and pointed
out the Importance of speedy action. The
president has frequently expressed his deep
interest in the matter and has promised to
act promptly in regard to the proclamation
as soon as he is satisfied that the legal re-
quirements have been fulfilled.
It is known that the only thing now in
doubt IS the suficiency of the subscription
fund and that the president is inclined to be
as liberal on that point as a fair iuterpreta-
ton of the law, in his judgment, will allow.
As the preparation of the proclamation
viii require some time, even after the presi-
dent has decided that it can properly issue,
which is not the case as yet, it is uncertain
when it will be issued.

Canucks See a Coming Crisis,

OTTAWA, ONT, December 23.-Coniden-
tlal advices from Washington strongly con-
firm the press assurances that significantly
point to crisis next season in the fur seal
controversy. After the rejection by Presi-
dent Harrison, of the latest British proposal
of arbitration, the imperial government will
suspend further efforts toward a settlement
of the dispute.
By May next strong force of war vessels
will be assembled at Esquimalt, and vessels
will be sent to Behrng sea with instructions
to protect from SEIZURE or removal British
vessels engaged in sealing at a distance
greater than three miles from the sea line
and coast of Alaska.
The official tone here is firm, tranquil and
confident. The authorities look for no
trouble or molestation of Canadian sealing
vessels next summer. A prosperous season
is expected by the sealers according to ad-
vices from Victoria.

STOCK AND FARM.

From Atchison: There is a remarki
able visitation of hog cholera in Center
and Benton townships, in this county.
The disease made its appearance only
short time ago, but it has already
carried off several thousand animals.
The disease is of a more malignant
character than usual.
McLouth Times: A novel trot was
witnessed at the race track near Leavenl
worth. 1t was a trot in sulky and harI
ness between two colts of less than sew.
en- months old. They made the half
mile in 2:40. These colts were broken
by Drs. Aver & Waldron, DR.. Aver be-
ing one of the drivers at the time OF
the exhibition.
Downs Times: Forty-five hundred
of Denton's sheep arrived on a special
train, and were Immediately unloaded
and driven to the ranch on the river;
The other two thousand are still on the
range at Lenora awaiting shipment.
These sheep, together with six thousand
five hundred purchased by W. w.
Means, Of Yuma, were started from
southern Utah in June, and were not
boarded on cars until they reached
Lenora. Mr.. Denton will fatten them
for Chicago markets in March or
April.
Canton Republican: A farmer from
Spring Valley township was in town
with fat COW this week. In Septem-
Der he noticed she wasn't paying for
the feed she consumed, SO he put her in
stall and commenced feeding her for
the butcher. He kept on milking her
because he needed what little milk she
gave. Very soon the cow improved so
much in milk that he gave her more
feed, and in return she gave more milk,
and SO it went on until before she was
fat enough to kill, more butter had
been sold than the meat was worth.
There are good many cows Of this
kind, if their owners only knew it.

Behrtnr Sea 40 the Front.

NEW YORK, December GA Washington
dispatch to the Harald says: President Har-
rison expects to accompany his transmission
to congress of the further papers relating to
the Behring sea controversy with a special
message of some length.
In this message he will express his views
respecting the rights and claims of the United
States connected with the seal fishery, the
comparative merits of the conduct aud posi-
ton of the two governments since the first
seizures in 1886 ard the duty of congress in
the present position of the question.
The message will be framed with especial
reference to the now pending proposal of the
British government for an arbitration, which
proposal it is intended to reject before any
communication is made to congress.
The personal bitterness between Mr.. Blaine
and Lord Salisbury that has arisen out of the
course of the negotiations is perceived here
to constitute material objection to contin-
uance of efforts towards settlement, espe-
cially after the diplomatic relations between
the two governments shall have been further
strained by the energetic manner in which
Mr.. Blaine is preparing to show up the hol-
lowness and unfairness of the British arbi-
tratIon project.
1t is because of the seeming hopelessness
of the prospect of a settlement by peaceful
means and of the necessity of almost in
duct for the United States, that the president
has determined to lay the matter before con-.
gress and to apply for legislative assistance
in shaping and inforcing the policy of the
immediate future.
The pending British proposal is to refer to
the determination of a friendly and impair
tial arbitrator the question whether the
seizures of the British sealing vessels by the
United States in 1886, '87 and 'S8 were or
were not lawful seizures.
To this form of the proposed submission
or the case to arbitration, the president stren-
uously objected and he never will agree to
it, unless congress shall assume the respon-
sibility in some mode of electing adherence
to it. The president will give congress dis
tinctly to understand that in the present
state of the matter he perceives neither au-
thority nor reason to abstain next season
from literal enforcement of the provisions
of the law for the protection of the fur seal
in Alaska and the water thereof.
He will ask congress for a liberal appro-
priation to meet the expense of fitting out
chartered vessels to serve as revenue vessels
in sufficient number and character to capture
and dispose of the numerous marauding
vessels expected to enter Behring sea next
June and July.

NEw YoRK, December Or. G. Dun q
Co.'s weekly review of trade says business
continues large for the season, out there is
perceptibiy less feeling of confidence. The
causes appear to be, first: prospect of impor-
tant monetary legislation, the effects of which
are not clearly forseen; second, frequent
failures and greater difficulties in making
collections; and, third, less satisfactory COL
lections in some branches of industry.
Though the rate for money on call is lower
than woek ago, and money is easier at
Boston and Philadelphia, there is still a
strlngency at most points throughout the
country. Complaints of slow collections
have rarely been more general, and in many
cases settlements can only be made with
notes of renewal. But IN all quarters there
is hope that after January 1, things may i'm
prove In this respect, if legislative prospects
do not in the meantime cause greater shrink
age in credits.
Foreign influences are not now disturbing
Exports greatly exceed imports. Trade in
the south is fair at most points and healthy
at many, Money is very close at all south
ern points, and collections are not average.
In the west trade is light and collections
slow, notably at Kansas City, Denver and
Omaha. At Chicago trade is good, and there
seems to be more confidence IN financial
circles. Trade in the northwest is good. In
the east, too, there is more confidence, and
money is somewhat easier. In the specula-
tive markets the movement has been down.

Many TITLES Affected BY This.

TOPEKA, December 23.-In the United
States circuit court Judge Caldwell rendered
an important decision, which will probably
unsettle the title to considerable property
that has been sold on executions issued out
of the Uuited States circuit court and levied
upon the property of the defendant in differ
ent counties without first filing a transcript
of the judgment in the district clerks Office
of such county.
The decision WIS rendered in an Injunction
case brought by the Dartmouth Savings bank
VS.. Betsy M. Bates, to enjoin the defendant
from selling certain lands in Wabaunsee
county, upon which the plalntl1 held mort
gage. 1t seems that the defendant had OBJ
tanned general Judgment against the owner
of the land in December, 1889, in the circuit
court of the Uns,ed States for the district of
Kansas, sitting at Topeka, and caused sXecu-
ton to issue and levy to be made on GER
tain lands belonging to defendant. That
after this judgment was rendered the owner
placed the mortgage now owned by the Dart
mouth Savings bank on the land, and the
contention between the attorneys, T. d.
Fuller, who represented the Dartmouth Saw
ings bank, and c. W. Welch, who represented
Betsy NJ. Bates, was as to which had the
prior lein.
The court concluded to settle the matter
on q new question. which heretofore has never
received any judicial construction in this
state. The majority of the legal fraternity
of this state have held that judgment in the
United States courts is a lein upon the real
estate of the defendant co-eXtensve with the
Judgment of the court. But hereafter gen.
eral judgments in the United States district
court must have a transcript filed in the
county where the defendant has real estate
to make such judgment a lein thereon out
side of the county where the judgment Is
rendered

The aggregate mileage of Santa Fe
freight cars for October was 1897, 1886,
which exceeds the mileage of any pre-
vious month. Sixty-six and one-fifth
of the mileage was made by loaded cars,
which is an unusually high average
The average daily mileage of stock cars
was $3.50 miles.
Topeka Capital: Yesterday was pay
day at the Santa Fe shops, and the men
were paid off by new system. Instead
of paying at the car as usual, the time
keeper and paymaster visited the men
at their work, leaving the checks as
they passed around. A great deal OF
time is saved and a rush avoided.
Topeka Capital: A local commercial
agent has received information to the
effect that the general and commercial
agencies of all foreign lines will be
abolished in every city west of the Mis-
souri, river. The change will take place
February 1, and is occasioned by a
resolution adopted this week by the
Western Freight association. The
business is to be divided on an agreed
per cent. The Santa Fe and Book
Island agencies are to be consolidated
at Denver, it is said, and the passen-
ger departments will also be cut down.
The action is strongly opposed by the
shippers.

asking for the cancellation of the over
issue, amounting to $3.50. The laws
at the time these bonds were voted
limited the amount to $4,000 per mile
for each mile constructed and operated
within the county. There are 13 1-25
miles of this road in this county, which,
at $4,000 per mile, would amount to
$50, ,160. The amount issued by the
various municipalities through which
the road passes amounted to $4,000:

.s1s ooo Picture spoiIed.

NEW YoRK, December 2o.-Art circles have
been furnished with fruitful topic of con-
versation, growing out of the action of the
Omaha man who destroyed painting on ex-
hib,tion in that city in the Art association,
aud valued at $4,000, because, in his opln-
ION. it was indecent.
The picture in question, by Bougue-
reau, the eminent French artist, and which
was awarded medal in the salon of 1876,
was the life size representation of nude
women surrounded by cupids.
general opinion is expressed that the
action of the Omaha man opened up new
and grave danger, against which the officials
of art institutes and galleries would do well
to take precautions.

on July 81, near Cape Horn, she spoke the
bark Santa Margherita, commanded by Cap
tain Johann Orth. or the name assumed by
Archauke John. The Santa Margherita was
bound from Buenos Ayres for Valparaiso,
and no news of her, save this brought by the
bark mentioned, has been received. A ter
rife storm prevailed at the time the vessels

Marpherita was lost.
