IRRIGABLE LANDS.
Commissioner Croft of ha Opinion That Ne
Filings Will Be Unnecessary,

Commissioner Croft of ihs Opinion That New
Filings Will Be Unnecessary.
WASHINGTON, July ia California
Associated Press correspondent called up
on Commissioner Croft to-day to find out if
possible what effect the repeal of the law
reserving irrigable lands from entry would
have upon filings already made in violation
of the law. Commissioner Croft was cf the
opinion that the Senate amendment to the
Sundry Civil Bill, which throws open IT.
Iigable lands to settlement, by repeating
the act OF October ?, 1888, would be adopted
by the House.
"Will those who have made filings since
October, 1888, have to take out new papers,
or will their former entry hold good"'
asked the correspondent
MIR. Croft looked puzzled. "That's hard
one," said he. The fact is have had no
time to give that matter any consideration
as yet, but after the amendment is adopted
by the House suppose a ruling by the de-
partment will be in order. As private citi-
zen and not as Commissioner-General of the
Land Office, my opinion would be that the
former entry would hold good, although
the Attorney General has rendered an
opinion, which was accepted by the In
terror Department. which makes invalid all
entries made upon irrigable lands after
October, 1885,"
was not aware that such a decision
was made" said the correspondent.
"Oh, yes" said Mr.. Croft, you will find
it in the executive documents which went
to the Senate only few days ago."
Would it lot be a wise plan for flers
since October, 1888, to make new entries in
case the obnoxious law is repealedp"
II don't think this would be necessary,
besides it would involve good deal of ex-
pense. They have already paid % cents on
each acre and if they made new filings this
sum would be lost to them. The intention
of Congress in repeating the law is very
plain. 1t was done in order TO validate the
claims of those who have hed on these
lands since October. 1858. There
should have been clause inserted
in the Senate amendment, which would
settle this matter beyond doubt, but | think
there will be no trouble about the matter
and that il those entering these lands have
complied with all the requirements they
will be able to hold on to their claims, but
remember, now, give you this opinion as
private citizen and not as Commissioner
General of the Land Ofice'

THE SANTA MONICA HOME.
A Lively Debate Over the Am sndmsnt to In
crease the Approximation

WASHINGTON, July ia spirited de-
bate took place in the Senate this afternoon
on the proposition to increase the appropri-
alton for the maintenance of the inmates of
the Santa Monica Call Soldiers Home
from $4,000 to SILT, 7,000 Plumb said it cost
nearly twice as much to keep soldier at
Santa Monica as it did at Leavenworth,
kanS.
Allison thought the difference in the price
OF coal was a big item.
Blair wanted to know If the glorious
climate OF California was not very mild and
equable. He had heard as much at any
rate. and was inclined to believe that the
price Of food was what made the biggest
difference in tho cost of maintaining the
soldier, and he thought also that the
glorious climate made ravenous appettes.
German was in favor of abolishing the
Soldiers Home at Santa Monica.
Senator Hearst and Representatives Nor
row and Clunie were on the Senate floor
during the discussion. Senator Hearst
finally succeeded in getting the Senate to
agree to the increase OF $4,000 for the
Santa Monica Home

Hasten His Conference With

AFFAIRS NEARING a CRISIS
No Move to Be Made Until After the
Imperial Interview Is Over-Ex-
Empress Frederick Threatens
Bismarck with Prosecution in
Case He Publishes Any of Her
Letters-A Secret Conference.

Copyrighted 1890 by New York Associated Press.
BERLIN, July 19.-The Reichsanzeiger de-
elares that the shortening OF the Emperor's
trip is not due to the political situation, but
the facts contradict this statement. Affairs
in the East are Fastening to crisis, and
this has caused the Emperor to advance the
date Of his conference with the Car. These
rulers will meet August 10th. The NovOe
Vremya says the situation in Armenia and
Bulgaria will remain in statu quo, as far as
Russia is concerned, until the imperial in
tervieHs are over.
BISMARCK THREATENED.
The question of Bismarck's right to di-
Vulge directly or suggestiyely through in
terviews his knowledge Of state affairs
which he acquired while he was Chancellor
will be decided upon the Emperor's return.
AllusiOns appearing in the Hamburger
Nachrichten disclose a desire OF Bis
marck to publicly implicate ex-Empress
Frederick in plotting against him.
She has just intensified his anger
by warning him that if the re-
port Is true tHhE ne IS preparing
his memoirs, he must publish none of
her letters or her husbands without her
consent and intimating that he will be
prosecuted if he fails to comply. The Off
cial expectation is that the Emperor will
direct the application to Bismarck, of the
rescript which Bismarck himself prepared
after the Won Arnim trial, ordering the
Ministers OF State to take oath not to pub
lish anything relating to state business
without permission of the sovereign.
A SECRET CONFERENCE.
At the secret conference between Prince
Alexa nder Of Battenberg and Prince Ferdi-
nand of Bulgaria. the former assured
Ferdinand that he had no ambition to re-
turn to Bulgaria. He adopted Major
Panitza's boy because the child
was his godson, and it had nothing to do
with politics. He advised Ferdinand to re-
turn to his post and govern cOnstitutionally,
and promised that if war should break cut
he would serve in the Bulgarian army.
AMERICAN PORK.
A report was published short time ago
to the effect that Minister Lucius, in re-
ceiYing a deputation on traffic in American
pork through Holland, expressed his inten-
tion to reseind- the prohibition in the in
terror. Lucius has assured Minister Phelps
that the Government is still unwilling 10

Uy a
Dakota Court
CHAsfBERLAIS (S Dak.), July 19.-Judge
Haney of this district sustained his tenn
porary injunction closing the original
package houses in this city. The grounds
given for the decision are that the enabling
act, admitting South Dakota to statehood,
authorized the enactment of a prohibition
clause in the State constitution. Such
enabling act having been passed by Con-
gress subsequent to the interstate COM
merce law, therefore, the prohibition law
received the sanction of Congress and the
Supreme Court decision does not apply to
South Dakota. This brings up a new
question, which will be carried to the higher
court, and if the decision is sustained will
be of great Importance to all of the new
States which have adnptea nrohihitinn.
