The Great Northern Not Inclined

WASHINGTON. Dec. FIT looks today as

reached by the Great Northern railway, the
interior department and congress. for a set

Red river valley in North Dako:a, affected by
the supreme court decision in the Ransom

If this agreement is effected. settlers upon,
these o., 900 acres OF valuable lands will not
DC disturbed. Senator Casey has put in a
great deal of his time since his arrival here
in trying TO hasten negotiations between the
interior department and the Great Northern.
He said today that he had every reason to be-
heve that the negotiations had reached such
a stage that the outcome would be favorable
TO the settlers. III these negotiations, he says
that up to date the attitude of the Great North
eyn appears 10 be one of liberaliIY. and
even of great generosity, in trying TODD the
fair thing by the settlers. Senator Casey
went on to say, however that he would not
like to go on record as positively stating that
the matter was sure 10 be settled in the man
neT that he hoped it would be, because he
never considered anything settled until all
the papers in a case like this one were
''signed. sealed and delivered" From his
frequent conferences with the interior de.
partment and Vice President Clough, of the
Great Northern he feels certain that an
agreement will be reached by Secretary
Noble and the company which will be ac-
ceptable to congress and the settlers.

be relieved by what Senator Casey has to say
today. He has ascertained, by personal in
vestigations, that no property in Grand
Forks city limits will be affected by the
Ransom Phelps decision. He has discovered,
by examination of the records. that the land
in that city is not involved, for the reason
that filings upon the lands in the city limits
were made previous to June p, 1874. that be-
ing the date of the act extending the land
grant to the state of Minnesota and apply
ing it only to the st. Vincent branch of the
Great Northern. Senator Casey was asked
what he knew about the notice of the Great
Northern 10 settlers to vacate lands by Dec
10. Il don't know the object of these no.
tees he replied, ''but presume it was for
the purpose of calling the attention of set
tiers to the real status of the case.''
Senator Casey thinks the result of the ne
gotiations between the Great Northern and
the interior department will reach congress
Immediately after the holidays, and imme-
date attention will be given to the matter.

THE PANiIR INCIDENT.
England Is Aroused and Anxious
for a Fight

LONDON, Dec. 12.-Is it to be war
with Russia? That is the question that
EDglishmen are now asking them
selves. When theme of the fighting
on the Pamir frontier reached here
last night and was flashed around the
world, there was a responsive thrill of
warlik expectation among the queens
subjects from north to south, from east
to west. Has the long expected signal
come at last? That is The question.
Later dispatches from Calcutta, re-
celVed this morning, confirm the news
OF the capture of fort near Gilgit. the
most advanced British agency on the
frontier, near Pamir. The interpreters
of the Official code message, however,
made slight mistake as to the fort
captured. 1t now appears that the place
captured was Fort Nit, on the same
river, and between Gilgil and Fort
Chalt. During the engagement only
seven Sc pays were killed. twenty-SiX
wounded and eight auxiliary Kash-
Mrs were killed. The loss of
the enemy is stated at over fifty
killed. The exact number, however,
will probably never be known, as the
dead were in most cases carried off with
the wounded by the retreating tribes
hiCu. bOliudlI anu DuoSldl dIulS anu
ammunition are said TO have been
found upon some of the prisoners and
on the dead. 1t is understood, though
the secret details of the affair have not
been made public, that Russian in
triguers are undoubtedly at the bottom
of the affair. Reinforcements have
been pushed forward towards 41ilgil
ever since October, but their progress
has been delayed by bad weather and
worse roads. Col. Durand and his staff,
returning from Simla to Gilgil, passed
through big snow storms, during which
they lost their baggage and suffered
most severely. Some of the passes
which must be traversed are 1900 feet
above the level of the sea.
1t is understood that a cabinet coun-
Gil to consider the situation will be held
today. Additional communications be-
tween Lord Salisbury and the Russian
ambassador have taken place. In all
circles the situation is regarded as GER
tain to lead up to Britains insisting
upon a prompt settlement of the Pamir
question and of most considerable modi-
ticati0ns of the demands made by Russia
in connection with the southern head
water boundary

1T seems to be in the air among the
South American colony In London that
Chili's greatest struggle since her war
for independence is not at great dis

negotiating for artillery and other mill
tary supplies in Germany. At the

obtained.
