The eel tower was one Of the
greatest attractions at the Paris expo
sition. Chicago, of course, is not TO
be outdone by any foreign capital and
no one familiar with the spirit of its
people will be surprised to hear that
our tower is to be a good deal higher
than the Frenchman's. 1t will rise
from the lake front LOO feet, and II
that is not high enough to satisfy the
strongest mania for high places, the
visitor will be permitted the privilege,
without additional charge. of climbing
the 300-foot flagstaff which will sur
mount It.

Four members of the cabinet. Colby,

THE NEW MINT.
Work ON the Building at Philadelphia
Cannot Be Begun Within a Year,

Work on the Building at Philadelphia
Cannot Be Begun Within Year,
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Secretary
Foster has referred to Attorney General
Miller for his opinion, the bill making
an appropriation for the erection of a
mint building at Philadelphia. The
attorney general is asked to construe the
bill and state whether it carries with it
an appropriation available for imme-
date use, or what proceedings can be
taken under the bill by the treasury de-
partment towards carrying oat the pro;
visions of the bill. It is stated at the
treasury department that if all doubt as
to the bill carrying an appropriation
with it was removed, it would be fully a
year before the building could be started
The question of selecting site and pre-
pairing the plans have to be very care
fully considered before official action is
taken.
The United States has built but one
mint building within fifty years. It will
take at least four months to prepare the
plans alone for the mint. Already a
number of offers of sites for the new
mint have been received at the treasury
department. Secretary Foster will, If
is thought, advertise inn the PUBLIC press
for sites. -

The Oldest Tree ON Earth.

-
The oldest tree on earth, at least as
far as any one knows, is the boo" tree,
in the sacred city of Amarapoora, Bur-
NAH. 1t was planted, the record says,
in the year 2SS b. c., and is therefore
nearly 1900 years old. Its great age is
proved according to historic documents,
says Sir James Emerson, who adds:
ITO it kings have dedicated their dor
minions IN testimony of belief that It
is branch of the identical fig tree
under which Buddah reclined at Urum,
elva when he Qnderw.ent his apotheo-
BIS. les leaves are carried away by
pilgrims as relics, but as it is too sacred
too touch with a knife, these leaves can
only be gathered after they have fallen.

repraska has not put forth any strong
candidate, while Kansas has number
OF ex-congressmen, including Peters and
Perkins, who would like the place.
Judge Brewers elevation to the supreme
bench from that state win probably pre-
vent his appointment. Arkansas has
the circuit court judge now, and the
Colorado senator's are not in accord with
the president and would not be likely to
secure so important an appointment. =
Shields, of Missouri.
Missouri would like to have Gen.
George s. Shields, now assistant attor-
ney general for the interior department,
appointed to this place. He was urged
very strongly for the position to which
Judge Caldwell was appointed.
Those who claim to know believe that
either Sanborn, Shiras or Shields, win be
appointed. 1t is one of the most impor-
tant positions to be filed in all the Judge
ships, as the district is larger than any
other in the United States and great
questions will come before the court.

THE NEW LAND LAW.
Effects of the Bill just Passed Are "
Tar u oochinO

Efrects of the Bill just Passed Are Very
Far Reaching.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The bill to
repeal the timber culture law is more
far-reaching. in its effects than Western.
settlers generally suppose. Besides re-
pealing the timber culture and pre-empr
ton laws, it provides that homesteaders
cannot commute in six months, but
must live on their claim one year before
they can commute and pay the customs
ary 81 rs per acre outside the railroad
limits or S. so inside the railroad limits,
and secure title to the lands.
Had to Be Modified.
President Harrison refused to sign the
bill until there had been a modification
of that provision relating to the cutting
of timber in mineral states, and this
modification will seriously affect the
Black Hills district in South Dakota, as
well as other mineral states.
5 Senators Pettigrew, Casey, Sanders
and Allen worked nearly all night to
bring influence to bear upon the presi-
dent to sign the bill, and it was largely
through the influence of Western SEN
ators and representatives that the modi-
congress at an early hour Wednesday
morning.
Secretary Noble filed nine specific rea-
sons why the bill should not become a
law, and was very urgent before the
president in insisting that he should
veto it. 1t will take about one month
for the interior department to formulate
regulations by which land offices can
act.
Refuse Filings for the Present.
Instructions have already been sent to
the land officers directing them to allow
no further entries until rules and regu-
lations of the interior department can
be promulgated. Interior department
officials are not quite clear as to the in
tent of all provisions, and it will take
several weeks to definitely decide what
was intended in this great omnibus bill.
One effect, however, is conceded, and
thas is that it will settle fve-sixths of
all the contests now pending before the
department.

: EIGHTH CIRCUIT JUDGE.

His Name Pretty Certain to Begin with
an S-shields, Shiras OF sanhorn.
ST. PAUL, March "a Washington
special to The Pioneer Press has the fol-
lowing gossip regarding the new circuit
iudgeship created by the last congress:
If the supreme court decides that the
law passed at the close of the session
providing for the appointment Of nine
more circuit judges is constitutional, it
is quite likely that the president will APP
point the judges as soon as he can make
his selections. This brings out the can
didates for the places, and the friends Of
each are pressing their respective claims.
In the Eighth circuit, composed of
Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota. the Dako-
tas, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and
Arkansas, there are enough candidates
already and liable to be more before the
selection is made.
Sanborn, of Minnesota.
Minnesota presents Hon. Walter 81.
Sanborn, Of st. Paul. He is recon-
mended by Senators Davis and Wash
burn and the Minnesota delegation in
the last house. Besides he has also been
recommended by Messrs. Harries, Hall
and Castle, the Democratic members of
the next house from that state. Some
sifort was made to bring put a Minna-
apolis candidate for the place, but it
was at once recognized that if Mime.
sofa was to get the important place it
would take united action on the part Of
the delegation from that state.
North Dakota presents no candidate,
but South Dakota is urging the appoint
ment of ex-senator Moody. Mr.. Moody
has many friends, but his strength is
mainly in South Dakota,
Shiras, OF iowa.
The Iowa delegation is urging with
all its power Judge SMras, and many
beileye that he has the best chance Of
being appointed.
