the manifestly oversold state OF the
market has admonished them into GOV.

Five Hundred Landowners Interested in
q Big Suit.


ST. PAUL. Minn., May 29.-Five hun
dred landowners of St. Paul are inter-
ested in . suit brought in the circuit
court OF the United States by residents
OF Philadelphia. The amount involved
10 over $4OO. 900. About forty.five years
ago . soldier, in the United States army
secured q warrant from the the general
government emitting him to 100 acres
of public land. He was killed in the
Inaian war, and the warrant was held
in the United States land Office
for the benefit OF his widow
and surviving children. The widow re-
newed the warrant and subsequently
transferred 1t TO y second party who
located the leo acres on the spot now
occupied by the Minnesots Tranefer
company's property Immediately adja-
cent thereto. 1t was transferred to
what is now known as the Tatum estate
of Cincinnati. In course of time this
estate disposed of large sections of this
property, the principal sale being
that effected TO the Minnesota transfer
about twelve years ago. In addition to
this, however, several hundred trans
fers, each OF 3 lot or two have been
made to small holders, chiefly for resi-
dence purposes. The Tatum estate AZ
usual gave in each and all of these
transfers . warrantI OF undisputed
POSSESSION. The action is brought on
behalf of the children OF the
original grantee OF the warrant
namely the soldier who was
killed In the war. 1t is claimed by the
plaintiffs that the children had interest
in that original warrant separate from
and independent Of their mother, the
widow. That IN transferring that war;
rant she did what she had no right 70
do. namely. parted with the interest OF
her children therein. This interest
was q vested right, and. according to
their contention, followed the warrant
and rested upon the land which was
located under its authority.

SETTLED a MARRIAGE QUESTION.
A Civil Union Declared to be Legal in
Saxony.

BERLIN, May 29.-The town council
At Glenau, Saxony, having discovered
that one of their number named Hoff-
man had never been married by relig.
ious ceremony, but only according to
the civil code, seized upon this pretext
to practically expel the delinquent, who
was not popular among his fellows.
They therefore refused to allow Hotf-
mans vote TO be recorded on any ques-
ton that came before the board. Hoff-
man appealed to the high court of jus
tice of 6axony, which has just rendered
. decision in the case holding that .
civil marriage being valid in law Hotf-
man had committed no act which
would disqualify him from sitting as a
member of municipal council. The
town fathers of Glenan are accordingly
ordered TO admit Hoffman to y full
share of their deliberations and actious
so long as the term for which he was
elected lasts.

sMoKELEss POwpEP ADOPTED.
The Turkish Government win Acccp,
the Austrian Article.

LONDON. May 2s.-Turkey has fallen
into line with the other nations in the
matter Of experimenting with smoke
less powder, and . military commlssion
has been sitting at Constant:nople to
investigate the value Of the various
powders IN that line. 1t has just an-
nounced the resuit. The commission
reports that it has tested samples of all
makes and have found that adopted by
the Austrian government to be far
superior TO any other IN use. The
French smokeless powder Is dismissed
as q very inferior article, and the Ger
man is spoken OF as very little better
than the French. These conclusions
are likely to lead TO some new inquiries
into the value of these powders by the
governments which have been congrat-
ulating themselves on the possession of
the best obtainable article. The Turk
ish government will doubtless accept
the report of the commission as final
and adopt the Austrian powder.
