land Department Onicials Puzzled Over
the New Laws.
MINNEAPOLIS, April "a journal
special from Washington says: There
is hitch in the interior department
over the new land law rules. Officials
of the department are unable to reach
an agreement over certain important
provisions of the new bill. For this rea-
son it is likely that the rules will not be
made public for several days.
From an inside source it is learned
that the important points of the dispute
are as sollows: First, shall the depart
ment now take notice of any contest
pending in the general land Office which
was fled in the local Office more than
two years after the final proof was made
on entries; second, what disposition
shall be made of intervening rights ac-
quired by persons who filed on lands
after the cancellation of entries, which
were 80 cancelled without notice to the
purchaser or the mortgages.
or Great Importance.
Those familiar with land Office affairs
can readily see that decisions upon the
two questions are of vital importance to
settlers, mortgages and the government.
Under the new law it is provided that.
regardless of compliance by the original
entryman with the law, if final proof
was accepted and the land passed by
mortgage or deed to q third party, the
integrity of title cannot bs questioned.
The mortgages and purchasers are now
in good faith making application to re-
instate entries cancelled before March
3, bnt on some lands filings were made
by other parties between the can
collation. of the first entry and the
passage of the new, law. All this
brings up another important point, viz:
What shall be done with the interven-
ing filings? This is the point that is Civ
ing the department officials great deaf
Of worry.
Registrations under the new townsite
law are also being held up until decis-
ion of the supreme court in the case OF

corbin and Pratt Take Long Island stock

NEW YORK, April 9.-The Herald says
the facts on which the story that the
Vanderbilts were trying to obtain con-
troll of the Long Island railroad were
based have come to light. A block Of
stock amounting to 81, ,000, 900 offered by
Henry w. Maxwell, of the Jersey Gem
tral, his brother, and some of their
friends, was for sale short time ago.
Mr.. III. Nick. Twombley heard of this,
but upon learning that this block was
all he could buy, and not a controlling
interest, he decided not to take it. Mr..
Corbin was also offered the stock, and a
few days ago he announced that he and
Charles Pratt, the Standard oil man
would buy the stock.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis will Sue Her

New YORK, Sept. 14.-Suit will
be begun by Mrs. Jefferson Davis
against Robert Belford, of the Bel

Lange, for alleged violation of con-
tract with Mrs. Davis to publish
her Memoirs of Jefferson Davis.
The contract provided that the pub
fishers should bear all expenses and
pay Mrs. Davis a royalty of 12aa
per cent. Prior to the time for the
first settlement Belford transferred
the contract to the Belford Com
pany. The accounting then showed
Mrs. Davis percentage to be $4,000,
which, as she claims, has not been
paid. The publishers claim ina
bility to pay at present. 1t is
understood that Mrs. Davis, who
has been depending, with confdenc
on a considerable income from the
book, is in Strengthened circum
stances. Ex-Gov. Hoadley will

THE SITUATION
ABOUT DARDANELLES.

(By Caote.)
TURKEY WILL NOT FIGHT.

LONDON. Sept. IA. Notwith-
standing the qualified denial dy
government officials of the reported
seizure Of port on the island of
Mitylene, public opinion is most
universally to the effect that the
situation at the Dardenelles will be
met by England with force. In
public places nothing else is talked,
although it is not believed that
either Turkey or Russia will
approve any violent resistance
to such steps as England may choose
to take. The british feet is now
equal, in line of battle ships, to the
fleets of any other two European
powers, and will be in the opinion
of naval officers speediey clear the
Dardanealles and the Black sea of
Russian craft, and also give
a good account of the French,
if they should interfere. A
dispatch from Portsmouth said
the naval authorities there had not
heard officially Of any seizure of a
Turkish portor island, but one official
who was interviewed said ne would
not be surprised at any time to hear
of some critical action.
The recent visit of the French
feet to Portsmouth, and the frater
nal greetings and enthusiasm ado
great interest to the subject of :
possible war.
An Englishman intimately con
nected with the Turkish Legation
: said to-day "Should war break ou
between Russia and England
: Turkey would, l think, allo,
them to fight it out simpl
taking care Of herself if attacked
l do not think that Turkey woul
construe the seizure of Sigri as a
act Of war against her." At tn
Russian legation all was diplomac
and reserve and silence though til
. . secretaries looked as if somethin
- grave had come to their know
edge.
