MexicO's Army.

Cry OF MEXICO, Sept. D.-President
Diaz is maturing plan for the reduction
of the army, which it is intended shall be
composed solely of volunteers. His plan
is known to only few. The idea excites
universal comment. 1t is believed, as far
as can be judged at present, that it would
have the effect of eliminating the crimi-
nal and otherwise execrable elements from
the army, which, it is said, will hereafter
be principally used on the northern and
southern frontier and in territory occupied
by Indians.
There are very large number of Off
GERS, some of whom have seen service,
who are being supported on the retired
list, and if they are di5banded it will
cause saving to the country of several
millions annually; but such change would
have to be effected gradually, so as not to
offend the more than 15O generals and
other officers in proportion. If the presi-
dents plan is carried into effect it is sup
posed many OF these officers would find en-
ployment in the national guard and other
services in the different states.

ITS FAR-REACHING EFFECTS,

The attorney general, in his opinion
constituting that act, said "The far-rearh-
ing effect of this construction can not de-
prive the words of the act of their ordi-
nary and necessary meaning"
1t would seem that if the restriction
was intended to apply to agricultural
lands only the act should have stated
under any of the agricultural land laws, "
instead of 'under any of the land laws. p"
1t is quite probable that the land officials,
realizing the far-reachine effect OF literal
construction of the act, will search the
congressional record for the "intention of
the lawmakers" and, if possible, adopt
more liberal Interpretation.
In talking yesterday in regard to the
matter, Land Comr. Croft expressed deep
regret that the intention of congress had
not been clearly expressed, for as the bill
was framed it presented to the depart
ment for solution very grave and serious
question Of the general land office, and
was inclined to the opinion that accord
ing to the letter Of the law mineral lands
must be included in the restriction. 1t is
the present intention of Comr. Croft to
take up the question almost Immediately,
and therefore decision may be expected

A QUESTION TO BE SETTLED.

The direct question which now con.
fronts the land officials is whether this re-
striction is intended tospply to and include
mineral lands under the law as it stood
prior to the passage Of the act Of August
80. Any person having the necessary
and specified qualifications could make a
pre-emption entry of 100 acres. After
completing his title he could then enter
another 100 acres as homestead. Then
he might enter $40 acres of desert land
and again $40 acres under the timber
culture act, making l,l20 acres OF agri-
cultural land which could be entered by
one person. In addition to this an,
qualified person could purchase 100 acres
OF coal land at price ranging from $40
to $40 per acre according to its distance
from railroad. Mining claims for land
containing valuable gold, silver or other
mineral deposits might have been entered
under the terms of the law without re-
strictlon as to number.

LAND OFFICE EPROBLEM.
A Complication which the Official. Are
Now Wrestling with Pointer
OF Settlers.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l0.-A question
which is now greatly perplexing the off.
cals of the general land Office is what
construction shall be placed upon that
part Of the arid land section of the sundry
civil act approved August 80, 1890, which
limits the quantity OF land which can be
acquired by any one person under the
public land laws. The paragraph in
question reads as follows
"No person who shall, after the passage
of this act, enter upon any of the public
lands with view to occupation, entry
or settlement under any OF the land
laws, shall be permitted to acquire title
to more than 800 acres in the aggregate
under all of said laws, but by limitation
shall not operate to curtail the rights of
any person who has heretofore made
entry or settlement on the public lands,
or whose occupation, entry or settlement
is validated by this act, etc."

A LITERAL CONSTRUCTION.

If literal construction is to be placed
upon the words OF the act no person can
acquire from the government more than
320 acres Of land whether it be all agri-
cultural or part mineral Thus person
who has completed pre-emption and a
homestead entry is forever debarred from
making any other entries whatever. The
intent of the law seer.s to be clear. 1t
says:
"No person shall be permitted
to acquire title to more than 32O acres in
the aggregate under all of said (land)
laws"
If the same literal construction is placed
upon the words as was placed by the at
torney general upon the act of October 2,
1888, they must be interpreted to mean
and include mineral lands as well as agri-
cultural lands.

n nor.. with a Nose for Pie.

The horse Charley which is used by the clergymen of the Church of the Immaculate Conception is inordinately fond of pie It makes no difference what kind of pie it is, or of what shape it is; pie he wants and pie he must have. If he is harnessed to the car- riage when pie is being baked in the kitchen, he will walk up to the steps and pound with his fore feet until his friends bring him out his pie, and he can not be driven out of the yard until he gets it On one occasion, while he was allowed the liberty of the yard, he smelt the familiar odor, and walking up the steps he marched straight into the kitchen, and when the cook came up from the cellar there he stood calmly surveying the range. &The cook was hearty scared to death, as there were no men in the house, but gathering her wits together, she got into the pantry, and grabbing . freshly baked pie, held it to Charley's nose and backed out the door and down the steps, the horse following the pie.-Chicago Journal

 LONDON, Oct. S1.-The Times this morning has the following interview with Henry M. Stanley, who was seen on board the Teutonic at Quesnstown.
 Mir. Stanley was shown the second installment of Lieutenant Troup'a in- terView in Boston. He read 1t care- fully and sAidit contained only general charges which might have been ex- pscted, but which called for no further explanations from him.
 The reporter asked If he did not desire to give the facts which the public was asking for.
 "All desire to say is if the reports which are about to be published by the officers differ in any important sense from the official reports which they furnished me, shall feel bound to publish fully the official reports which are now in my possession"
 ''Does not the interview with Lieu tenant Troup differ from his official report, MT. Stanleyf"
 'Lieutenant Troup's statements are very general, and do not touch the real points at issue. He says he is waiting for me to bring the charges. I intend to make no charges until find whether the officers of the rear column stultify themselves by publishing reports differ ing from their official statement to me. The officers of the rear column are at perfect liberty to publish any details of the expedition they think proper, but I do not think that Lieutenant Troup iS explaining anything by these vague general charges, nor by the vio- lent and incorporate language he has used will he exonerate himself"
 ''Do you know why the officers of the rear column appeared to be animated by i'll feeling toward you, MT. Stan ley r
 "Yes, 1t is easy to explain. It must not bo forgotten that the cause of the controversy is the violent resentment the officers of the rear column have against the general censure cast upon them in my letter to the Emin Pasha Relief Committee in August. 1SSS It was written by me fresh after hearing the horrible details of the wreck of the column. wrote that the rear colum n was wrecked by the irrssolution of the officers, the neglect of their promises and their indifference to the interest of the expedition. I cannot now modify that cenBure. Now, the duty of one and all of the surviving officers is to tell their stories plainly and simply, and the public may have the chance of judging whether my view of their conduct is too harsh or unjust.

It was for that that they subscribed the big campaign corruption fund for the election of Harrison and . republican congress. They demand their pound of flesh, and they mean to get it, blood and all.

 Taken to New York Thia Morning.
 wAsHINoroN, Got. Sl.-A widow to- day and bride yesterday is the sad story of the welded life of Mrs. HAugh. wout Howe. nee Mics May Butterworth, daughter of Congressman Butterworth.
 For several hours after the wedding Mir. Howe rested easily. Suddenly he became delirious and fancied he vas on his wedding trip.
 In the morning an attempt was made to quiet him by an injection of nor phine, and this was accomplished only after @ struggle.
 Mrs. Howe, who, with Mrs. Roosa, MT. Hows's mother, and Mir. MAgruder had remained with him during tho night, went to her home for break fast, after her husband bHAmo quiet. She returned about half past nine and re- mained at his bedside until the end.
 Nine years ago Haughwout Howe figured in e romance in New York which created a social. sensotion. He met and fell in love with Marie Van dyke, the pretty daughter of Professor of that city. The Professor was furi- ous when he learned the facts and or dered Marie to leave the house.
 The couple were married, however, and for . season were happy, but they finally quarrelOd and in 1888 Mrs. Howe secured c divorce on the grounds of cruelty and desertion.
 Servioea over the remains of MT Howe took place this morning at 1( o'clock in the building leased for the use of the Pan-AmerieAn Conference, Dr. Bartlett, who performed the mar riaHe ceremony for MF. Howe and Miss Butterworth, conducted the services. At II o'clock the body was taken to ths railroad station and the funeral train left for New York.
