WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec Ito
morrow will be an anxious day for the
settlers in the Red river valley upon the
lands claimed by the Great Northern
Railway company under their land
grant titles under acts of congress APP
proved March ,, 1857 and March 3, 1860,
for it Is the day specified on which they
were notified to quit-in the words
possession and occupancy by the
settlers is unlawful and a tress-
pass upon the rights of the
owner thereof" The settlers
have been trying to obtain legis-
iation in their behalf through their rep
reSentatiyes in congress. The law of
the situation, briefly summed up, Is as
follows: The Phelps case was SIM
ply all adjudication of the relative mer-
lis OF the claims of two conflicting land
grants where the Northern Pacific land
grant Overlapped that claimed by the
ola st. Paul IL Pacific near WahpetOn.
The settlers were not represented.
Nothing was settled as TO them or their
rights. They are still entitled

not be dspOsseSSed of their homes with
out due process of law. Mr. Phelps was
not a settler who based his title on a
United States patent. He was simply
an assignee of the Northern Pacific
Railway company, and his title was
subject to all the iniirmitieS and eQui-
ties inherent in the grant to that COM
pany."
The land now in dispute in North Da-
k0ta is understood to lie without the
original ten-mile grant to the st. Paul
IL Pacific, but within the indemnity
belt. Since the decision of the
Phelps case in December, 1890, there
have been adjudicated in the supreme
court of the United States two eases
from Polk county. Minnesota, involving
directly the rights of settlers within this
grant, VIZ: That of Charles w. Green
halhg. who settled on the original grant
in 1872, and Charles WinSet, who set
tied OH the indemnity belt. Both these
settlers held patents direct from the
United States, as do all the North Da-
kOta settlers, and in each case was the
validity of the titles sustained, both in
the court below and in the supreme
court of the United States, March 2,
1891. This is shown by the United
States Supreme Court Reports, 139. 1t
is learned that the settlers in Walsh
county, the northern part of Grand
Forks county and the southern part of
Pembina county are not included in
the order. An easterly DETECTION of
the railroad there brings the grant on
the Minnesota side of the river The
impression prevails here that congress
will undoubtedly make the grant good
to the company, but the matter will first
have to be tested in the courts.

BALMACEDA's SUICIDE.
A New Yarn as to the Reasons for
the Deed.

the Deed.
PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Dec. IA
J. Perkins Shanks, an American en-
gineer, who for the past twenty-five
years has resided in Chilli, and who ar
rived here few days ago. tells the story
of how Balmaceda was betrayed. He
said: "Balmaceda was betrayed by the
Argentine minister, Senior Uribirru. in
Santiago IN this manner: When Bal
maceda sent his minister toreQuest hos
pitality, and ask Uribirri to shelter him
against the attack of insurgents. it was
agreed that Balmaceda should arrive at
the Argentine legation at O'clock in
the morning, When he arrived he was
met by the senior. and on entering he
met, face TO face, the wife of his most
bitter enemy, Mrs. Carlos Walker-Mar-
tines. who had taken refuge in the same
legation, fearing an attempt on her life
on the part of the Balmacedans.
'Great confusion followed the meet
ing and the lady was compelled to take
a solemn oath not to divulge the where
abouts of Balmaceda. But she entered
into an intrigue with the Argentine
minister to betray Balmaceda to George
Montt. Word was sent notifying Montt
of Balmaceda'S hiding place. MOntt i'm
mediately took steps to induce the eX-
dictator to surrender himself peacefully
to the newly constituted authorities,
promising every guarantee of fair and
just trial. Balmaceda agreed to surren-
der after the holidays. From the day
Balmaceda received the first word from
Montt he commenced preparing for
death and began writing instructions.
dispOsing of all his personal affairs, and
when the time arrived for him to sur
render he killed himself, knowing he
could not receive Justice"

the close was at one point advance over that

very bearish, but, on the contrary, the effect
OF such information as was made public
should have had a strengthening influence
There was the news that the Farm ALI

hold back-your-wheat circular and justified
it with strong array of bull arguments
Then there was the report telegraphed from
New York that the threshing returns made
to the french government indicated a short
age in its wheat crop of 1i6,O0l,000 bu against
the estimate previously made of 9O,0OO.00O to

Corn started rather firm, Influenced by the
poor inspection and the soft weather, which
was regarded as against any improvement
in the grading. But after making a sub

GILLIAN ILLUSIONS.
Foolish Talk by Foreigners Has

VALPARAISO, Chill, Dec. 14.-There
is growing excitement over the situa-
ton between Chill and the United
States, and the local authorities are TAX
ing precautions to prevent any renewal
of insult or injury to Americans. The
foreign residents generally regard the
prospects as serious and are not san
guine of peaceful outcome of the COLI
trOverSy. The better class of ChilianS
appear impressed that the United States
will not fight, and that Valparaiso would
be protected from damage, should war
break out, by the English and Germans,
| OF account of the large interests of those
nationalIties III Valparaiso.
For this assurance they are depend
ent on loose talk of English and Ger
man officials at social gatherings in
Santiago and Valparaiso, when the
wine flowed freely. So far as concerns
the British minister, there is no author
lty for any such settlement. These
promises of foreign d are chiefly the
outcome of European rivalry for the
trade of Chilli, merchants and other UNI
| authorized persons making assertions
without foundation in order to flatter
Chilian pride and gain some advantage.
Well informed Chilians share to a sur
prising degree i'll the illusions thus
created and some of them express
anxiety for a chance to thresh the
Americans. The departure of the Bal
tinOre is viewed with regret by Amer
leans, who are hoping for the early az
rival of the Boston.
Judge of Crimes Foster is said to be
preparing his finding in the case OF u

that the result will be satisfactory to
