The Growing Interest In the Political
Situation In Indiana.

WAsulSGroS, Sept. 7.-Interest is grow
ing here in the political situation i'll lndi-
ana, which is regarded as the battle-ground
Of the next campaign, so far as the lie
publican Presidential nomination is con-
cerned. Charles E. Marvin, M influential
Republican politician Of Indiana, has just
returned to this city after months tour
through that State. In al interview on
the result Of his observations lie said in
regard to Harrison's chances in the State:
"Can Harrison carry the Indiana dele
CATION? No, sir; nor can he hope to get
more than small portion OF it ut best.
Four years ago the opposition to him was
of no consequence, the great bulk Of the
party being for Harrison with no second
choice, but by his iciclc course he has
alienated ut least two-thirds of his fol-
lowing, including W. ". Dudley, who did
more toward Harrison election than any
other one man in the country. and every
Republican paper in the Stntc whose cdi-
tor or proprietor does not h"l1 some Coy
ernment position, and YOU can Judge how
near he will come to getting the dclcga
tons vote But do not think he can I've
made to see it. | do not think Mr. llar-
rison could he made to believe that he is
not the great II am" the one altogether
lovely, and the only one for whom tie old
Republicans sigh, and the Young ones
cry.
BLAINE AND HOvEY
Indiana is for Blaine and Hovev. Ho-
vey is Governor Il soldier of two wars, an
advocate of pensions, and the strongest
man personally in the State in either
party. Blaine and Hovey can carry Indi-
ana by a handsome majority. Blaine has
always been n great favortc with Indiana
Republicans, who are natural political
fighters, aud Hovey is now the favoriir
son. He defeated the strongest man in
the State for Governor four years ago.
Two years ago the Democrats carried the
State by twenty odd thousand in cnn>c
qnence of $4,000 Republicans staying
away from the polls. They were deter
mined that Mr. Harrison should not claim
Republican victory as nn Endorsement
of himself, as they knew very well he
would do should the State so Republican.
Indiana is protection State, and next to
Blaine, Mckinley stands as we'll as any
Republican in the country"

AMUSEM ENTS,
The Millionaire.

Daniel sully has a money-making play in
this piece, and it brings in the dollars be-
cause it pleases the people. II was not
written to be criticized. Like all good
books and plays which stand the test of
public favor, The Millionaire appeals to the
sense of Justice and fair play so character
istic of the English speaking people. The
audience eympathizes and hopes for James
O'Brien's success in his struggle to COM
plete his railroad and achieve wealth. 1t
shouts with triumph when the golden spike
sinks into the tie and victory is O'Brien's.
The %magnanlmity of tho character when
the battle is won, and the helping hand
given to q former rival, touches the popular
heart, and that is what makes the play
a success. 1t turns out just as
We would like to have it in
real life. The play was received with great
favor last night at Ming's. At the close of
the last scene in Rocky gorge a curtain
call brought Mr.. Sullv and the principals
to the footlights. Rose Watson, Daisy
Lowering, Little Hazel, Mack Charles, G.

THE EJEC rMENT CASE.

No Settlement on a Claim for Ten Years
R~elinqulshes 1t.
This suit was brought by the same rail
road COMPANY to eject Samuel M. Meadows
from certain ground in section II, tow 10
north OF range three west, in Lewis and
Clarke county. The railroad company set
up that in November, 1868, jerome S. Click
hled a declaratory statement under the pro-
visions of the presumption law, wherein he
alleged settlement as Nov. ~, 1868, and
made a presumption claim to the west half
of the southeast quarter and tho southwest
quarter of the northeast quarter and the
southeast quarter Of the southwest quarter
OF section IL. The railroad company claims
that Click did not make settlement or i'm
prove the land, and that until subsequent
70 July 8, 1852, when it's grant attached, no
other entry or filings were made. Meadows
Tiled a general demurrer to the effect that
the complaint did not state facts sufficient
to constitute a cause for action. The court
here reviewed the former decision in the
Cannon case, where it was held that tho
and case. where it was held
that the company received title to such
and as were public lands to which
the United States had full title not re-
served, sold, granted or otherwise appro-
priated and free from pre-em ptlons or
oCuei CiaILns Ut TlRnGs at the Time the line
OF the road was definitely fixed and a plat
thereof filed in the general land Office.
The question presented in the Meadows
osse is whether the facts show tina such a
presumption claim had attached to the land
in dispute as to bring it within the excep-
tions in the railroad grant. The court
s4ys it would appear that such a claim
existed at the time the permanent route of
the road was fixed. IA person who only
files a claim to pre-empt land from the
United States, and who for ten years there
after fails to make any settlement upon it
or Improvements ought to be considered as
having relinquished any CLAIM he had yer
made upon such property" The court
added by way of conclusion: ~ may say
further that | do not think the fact of
making Il claim of nm application to pre-
empt land unaccompanied by other acts
ought to be considered a presumption
claim at all, as that term is understood in
lAw.b

JUDGES TO BE PAID.
Judge Buck Secures IL Writ of Maudamus
for His Salary.

Judge Buck Secures IL Writ of Maudamus
for His Salary.
The supreme court decided in favor of
the district judges yesterday. Judge Buck
received II warrant for his quarterly salary
which the state treasurer refused to pay.
The auditor based his refusal on the ground
that prior to Judge Bucks appointment
under a subsequent act, the legislature had
on March 5, 1891, appropriated $464, Os4 for
certain state purposes and that the money
IN the treasury, amounting to Sl4S, 400, had
been set apart for certain appropriations
and that there was no money in the treas
uly applicable to tina payment of the waY-
rant. Former decisions of the court ara
quoted in the decision rendered yesterday
and the court holds that the district judges
appointed under the act which created nd-
ditional iudgeships in Silver Bow and
Lewis and Clarke counties are upon the
same footing as other district Judges in the
state, and that the constitution itself an
propriated their salaries.

MADE ANOTHER ATTEMPT
Northern Pacific Attacks c. w. Can
mons Mineral Patent in the
Circuit Court.
Presumption Claim Unimproved or
Unsettled for Ten Years Is
Relinquished.
District Judges Recently Appointed by
Governor Toole Must BE Paid Their
Salaries by the Treasures.

Yesterday the Northern Pacific railroad
company had a hearing on the demurrer of
Cannon to the company's amended COM
plant. Thu company suffered defeat a
few days ago in this court in the same case.
This time it set up that the land in dispute,
lying upon the west side of town, was agri-
cultural in character, and that Cannon,
subsequent to the company's grant, in
August, 1879. had SECURED a United States
patent upon false representation that the
land was mineral. The company asked for
the equitable intervention of the court that
the defendants be decreed in and about the
ownership and title to the premises tho
trustees Of the railroad company and that
they should be decreed within some time to
be fixed by the court to convey the premises
to the railroad company; or in default of
making such conveyance the court appoint
a commissioned to make the deed. After
citing authorities bearing upon the subject,
Judge Knowles same to the conclusion that
the amended complaint did not show sutli-
cient equity to entitle the railroad CON-
pany to the srecinl relief asked and sus-
tanned demurrer.

1t Cost the Slayer Some Time and Mon
to Collect the Bounty,

1t Cost the Slayer Some Time and Money
to Collect the Bounty.
A man with a coyote skin strung over his
back in a sack walked into Judge Fleis-
cher's office yesterday and asked for a certi-
ficate which would enable him to collect the
bounty which the state offers for the kill
ing of those animals. Judge Fleischer,
according to the requirements of the law,
had to punch holes in the ears of the coyote
skin and make out three certificates of the
fact. For thus he got % cents for over an
hours work. He say he can make
more working with pick and shovel. 1t is
necessary to have W freeholders as wit
nesses to the punching. 1t costs as much
to treat a freeholder as it does to set them
up for anybody else. When he got through
with all the preliminaries, the man got his
certificate, which called for 81. He lived
at Silver creek. and lost a whole day getting
the bounty. The next killing, he thinks,
must be an unusually large one TO warrant
all the trouble and expense incident to col
Letting the bounty.
