WISCONSIN, TIMeER LANDS.

A New Order Fixing November 2 az the
Date for the Entry of tho Restored
Lands for Settlement.
WARRINGTON, Oct. "a. Commissioner
Thomas Fl. Carter, of the general land
office, has sent by telegraph an order
to the register and receiver of the
United States land Office at Ash
land, Wis, directing him to pub
lish notice that on Monday, No.
vember 2, all land in his dis
trict under Withdrawals heretofore
made and held for indemnity pur-
poses for the benefit of the Chicago,
St Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Rail-
way Company, will be restored to
settlement and entry. In connection
with the notice it is to be an
nounced that no person will be
recognized as acquiring any claim or
right to any of said lands who seeks to
initiate or perfect the same by means
OF force, threats or intimidation.
In pursuance of an order issued by
Secretary Noble, notice was given,
ending April II, 1891, opening these
lands to settlement to be made on or
after April 10, 1891. Two days pre-
vious to that date. however, it
was reported to the secretary by
numerous persons that the local author
tiles were unable or disinclined to
maintain order at the land Office at
Ashland for the reason that large
crowd had surrounded the Office bear
ing arms and threatening violence to
all newcomers. In view of this situa-
ton Secretary Noble revoked the order
on April IL, and the lands have since
remained in state of reservation.
ASHLAND, Wis. Oct 24.-The rush
for the Omaha indemnity lands has be-
gun again. Since the order for fling
was suspended last April every foot of
the $50. 900 acres included in the list has
been carefully explored, and its cash
valuation is placed at more than 81, $780,
600. The local land Office has been
removed to the second story of the
bank building and this is going
to check tendency to form in line.
There is intense excitement on the
streets and hundreds of strangers are
pouring into the city on every train.
The present order differs from that
issued last April, as it protects the
honest settlers against the lumber
spectators who are anxious to get
hold of the valuable pine lands. The
ironclad restrictions by the interior de-
partment are going to do much to pre-.
serve order, still it is hard to tell what
men will do in a mad rush for a million
and half worth of valua BILE land. Re.
ceiver Heydluff and Register CARING
ton said they apprehended no trouble, a
every man in line would he disarmed and
no drinking among the liners permitted.

HIGH WATER IN ENGLAND.
The Worst Floods Known In That Coun
Rnp DHamv VA~ea

The Worst Floods Known In That Couh
try for Many Years.
LONDON, Oct. e4.-Politics, both for.
eign and domestic, give way in tho
public interest to the extensive floods,
never equaled in England within the
present generation and far more wide
spread than the Moray floods of sixty
years ago, which. however, destroyed
many lives The foods have come
so gradually that nearly every one has
had chance to escape, although vast
plains are under water and rivulets
have swollen to rivers The chief anx.
iety felt is as to whether the waters
will altogether retire from some
of the regions invaded, especially
the lowlands near the sea, large Sec
tions of which have been rescued for
cultivation by the labor of centuries.
Should the floods, which are still rising
in many places, not soon subside much
suffering will be caused.
In Buckinghamshire, the country in
the vicinity of Newport Pagnell, on
the Ouse, is submerged and the inbab-
itants have been compelled to seek
refuge on the upper floors of the
houses. The high road, running into
Newport~Pagnell is feet under water.
A railroad cutting near Christ church
undermined by the floods collapsed
Friday morning and completely blocked
up the railroad lines The surrounding
neig hborhood is inundated so that the
repairing of the damage is impossible
till the subsistence of the floods. The
Thames is still rising and is already 5
feet above its normal high water mark.
A portion of the royal gardens and the
queens drive at Windsor are flooded.
The food demolished q pile dam
which had been constructed across a
5o-foot gap in the embankment of the
river Parrett in Somerset. An enor-
NOUS volume of water poured through
tho breach thus made. causing wide
spread damage to the adjacent country
and forcing the country people to use
boats in passing from village to village.
Many vessels of all kinds are reported
as being ashore atdifferent points on the
coast In the county of Somerset 14O,-
600 acres of land has been subm erged,
while the bikes everywhere have been
swept away. The county has as
sumed the aspect which it presented in
the time of Alfred the Great, and the
island of Athelney, where the mon-
arch took refuge during the Danish
invasion, has again been created.
Windsor castle is looming frown-
ingly upon the vast expanse of
waters which surround it on all sides.
The Thameside houses are being rapid
ly deserted by their occupants, who are
to be seen padding about in canoes,
looking for dry land whereon to place
their families and such of their effects
as they have been able to save from the
devouring floods.
Additional damage to the railways in
France by reason of floods is reported.
The line was destroyed at several
points between St. German des Posses
and Mines, and some roads are covered
