ONE RESULT I'M SIGHT.
The ship subsidy WIN Cause the Con
.truslion of - New steamship Line.

New YORK, March le.-Austin Corbin
will establish the finest transatlantic
steamship line between this country and
Europe by building eight 1900 ton
steel American steamships, capable OF
attaining q speed OF twenty-four miles
an hour. 10 run from Montauk Point, l..
l., TO Milfor Haven, England, In i've
days. Nothing has hitherto stood In the
way of the consummation OF this scheme
except the inability OF Americans 10 run
the ships as cheaply as do the English.
The passage OF the postal subsidy bill,
which grants 100000 10 frst-class
ships, removes thai disability from
American enterprise. Within two years
time Il Is expected that the first ships Of
this line will be in commission, and they
will be the finest ships ever built in the
world, the aggregate cost IL Is expected,
amounting 10 the enormous sum OF Sl2,-
600, 900. Mr., Corbin was seen last night
and asked II the report was authentic.
lie would only say that he had not
authorized such publication.

CLEVELAND IN THr SUPREME oouRn
His Loss of the Case No Reflection Upon
Eis Abili ty-His Law Practice.


Lawyers who practice before the su-
preme court are amused at the comment
on the decision given adverse TO eN-
President Cleveland's New Orleans
clients Like most big cases which come
before the supreme court the litigants
had big lawyers on both sides and some
body's clients had to lose. They don't
think that the decision Is any reelection
on Mr.. Cieveland's legal ability, but at
the time the arguments were made there
was calm confidence on the part
OF some litigants that the theat-
riCal appearance OF eN-President
Cleveland In the supreme court was all
that was necessary 20 secure favorable
decision When the court came 10 pass
on the law questions involved IL was
found that Chief Justice Fuller and As
sociate Justices Harlan and Lamar were
the only ones who agreed with the ClcNr-
land view OF the case. The eX-presldeuj,
la spite OF all that is said 90 the con
trary. is not believed 10 be doing a lucra-
tive law business In New York city.
His findings as referee in two important
cases have been set aside by the courts
That also happens % other lawyers, yet
Il hurts the reputation OF al ex-presideut
where In the case Of another lawyer %
would be looked upon merely a. one Of
the incidents of practice.

Talking of HIS Successor.

WASHINGTON, March l2.-The death
OF John G. Swift, minister to Japan, has
set the politicians and Office seekers talk
ing and considerable speculation is go
ing on regarding the dead diplomats
successor. Many names have already
been suggested for the place, among the
most prominent ones being ex-senator
Pierce. OF North Dakota. Morris NJ.
Estee, the leading candidate for United
States senator from California % take
Hearst's seat, aud also ex-senator ln-
gals. 1t Is not believed possible that
either ingalls, or Pierce would accept the
position II rendered. It is understood
that Mr. Pierce is 10 become editor OF
the Minneapolis Tribune and IL Is posi-
bic that Mr.. Ingalls, would not accept a
foreign mission, as II Is understood he
has signed two years contract 10 lee

SENATOR PL,W3'> DILEMMA.
He Must Make Choice Between the
Alliance and the RCnubiIcans

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Farmers
Alliance in Kansas feel kindly toward
Senator Plumb, He trimmed h S sails on
the tariff and financial legislation last
session to the Alliance blizzard and his
speeches were quoted all through the
State. Since the e ection Mrs. Diggs and
Mrs. Lease, who run the Alliance,
have made known their Indebtedness
30 Senator Plumb, and have given
out that he has no cause to fear Ingalle'
fate. this is pleasant enongh f1r Plumb.
but recent complication has arisen which
may make it necessary for him to define
his stand. 1t is what Gen Harrison once
called ''the exp 'Osive power of post
Office Some days ago Harris N Kelley,
the great Republican i'll Congress from
the Fourth Kansas District, secured tue
appointment of Miss Lucy johnson as
postmistress at Silver Lake. Kan. Miss
Johnson is a member o the Farmers Ali
ance. Her selection by Mr. Kelley is more
extraordinary when it is rememhe ed that
the Alliance defeat, d him for re election
last November. All the straight out Re
publiCans in the town are furious about it.
The postmaster general does not know
what to do about it, He mas told the
kicking Repu blioans that he win abide by
Senator Plumb decision. Plumb is con
fronted with the question whether he will
permit a Farmers Alliance woman to
hold Office, or whether she shall be dis
missed and the place given to a Repuh-
hcan. 1t is a perplexing situation If
he fail to retain Miss Johnson the
Alliance will probably use that Silver
Lake postoftice as a sponge t. wipe out all
his past services. If he keeps her a large
section of the Republicans will insist that
he cease TO call himself Republican, for
in Kansas the iarme $ Alliance is good
deal more Of political party than the
Democratic organization ever y as and is
bitterly anti-Republican

INDIAN LANDS FOR sETrLEmENT.
Interior Department Opening - Ter
ritory Provided in the Recent Hill.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 1T.-The
Interior Department will put in motion the
machinery ne "essary for the opening Of
Indian lands to settlement as rapidly as
possible. These lands are opened by the
provisions in the Ind an bill for TIE laying
for them in accordance with the agreements
which were ratified. The amount appro-
priated is large one, but two ia Is ought
to be considered in relation to it. MANY
millions of acres of land Will he released
from fictitious occupancy by Indian
tribes and opened to white settlement,
and the government will be reimbursed in
due time for its outlay. The bargain,
therefore, is good one in any
aspect. This does not apply
to the 5000, 600 appropriated for
the Choctew Chickasaw claim. That
was pure gratuity. With the exception
of the sixteenth and thirty sixth sections
of each townsi ip these lands are to be
open to sale and settlerent only under
the homestead and townsite laws. with the
additional provlsO that the settler shall
pay in addition to the fees require by
law SI.25 per acre in the case of the Sac
and Fox and Iowa lands, and 81 80 per
acre in the case of the lands purchased
from other tribes named In the latter
case also one-half of the purchase money
must be paid within two years and the
remainder before the expiration of five
years from the date of settlement OF
course some time m Ist elapse before the
lands will be open TO settlement. The
appropriation to carry out the agreement
with the Sisseton and Wahpeton Sioux
for lands relin uished by Il EN- in North
Dakota and outh Dako a amounts to
81, ,203, GOO. This land, when surveyed
and opened to settlement, will be sub ect
to entry on the same conditions as the
lands in Indian Territory, aud the price
per acre will be 81 so.
