Hitherto 1t has been tried, but never

Homestead fight is considered by the

Speaking Of the attempt of railroad
men to refuse to handle or haul the
products of the Carnegie company,
James NJ. Bailey of the Sligo Rolling
Mill company said: "They cannot Dos
sibly do it. The law would prohibit
such . move. and the parties concerned
| would he liable TO arrest for conspir-
acy. The railroads are common car
riers and cannot refuse to handle the
| goods"
The Amalgamated officials them
selves are very doubtful Of the probs'
bic results of the move and admit tina
the chances are decidedly against
them, but they are trying this scheme
as thor most effective plan for winning
the Homestead tight.

ROCHESTER,, NY, Aug. 9.-The open-

here Was characterized by small At
tendance and good racing. In both the
2:l6 pace and 2:2l trot records were

in which he lowered his mark to 2:l4t.

proper handling the stallion could have
won the race. There was less betting
than on any previous opening day in

Effect of the Boom Upon Land Unde

Effect of the Boom Upon Land Under
Cultivation.
SAN BENITo, July 27. - "There isn't
much Government land of any value round
San Benito.' said Mr.. hay an old resi-
dent here, though there is doubtless a
good deal elsewhere in the county. l
wouldn't give much for the chances of any
man who comes from the outside looking
for quarter section. There have been a
good many coming through here. Some have
gone over into Bear Valley. and others
further south. But | doubt if many Of
them have found any desirable places.
"a man would staFye to death on some
OF the Government land hereabonts. for it is
too high and dry. yet down IN the valleys
you see good rich land that yields big crops.
''My advice to the city man who wants
to take up hill land with the idea of making
a fortune out of it is don't"
The scramble of the boomers into this
part of the country is having the effect Of
slightly advancing the prices of TILED land.
Property formerly offered for $50 to S25
has gone up in price TO $50 TO S35.
The boomers are not only taking up land
on the odd sections granted to the railroad
and forfeited, but they are also filing on the
even sections This they can do at any
time without waiting for the opening of the
grant at the land Office.
Many of these even sections have been
neglected for years, many persons in the
nelghborhoOd having lost sight of them.
These are the liveliest times ever seen In
San Beniio County," said Tres Pinos man
this afternoon. IL have been here since the
railroad was extended to Tres Pinos, and l
have seen nothing like 1t.
Postmasters along the line between Tres
Pinos and San Bento say they have been
flooded with letters from outsiders inquiring
about land.
A vast deal of interest is certainly center
ing in this district

II. In some sections the eovetous ones have
gone so Tar as to build little cabins and
uflVe stakes around in order to convince
the iand-hnnter that there is nothing there
ioT nlm. Then they grab it themselves.
L witnessed sad sight TODAY. A Moor
emigrant who had driven into San Benito
from far-off Tehama County in the hope of
nnding home was turning back from the
Bltterwater country, where he had been
trying to pick up quarter section
bis two lean horses were pulling rat
ting wagon, the wheels grinding the white
dust aud sending it up in little clouds that
almost concealed the loOseness of their tires
In the wagon were some furniture and q
stove that looked as ii they were nearly
shaken to pieces.
A woman with a careworn face sat on the
front seat with the head of the family,
whose clothes were in tatters, and perched
upon an old lounge in the rear was row of
plump and dirty children.
Cant find nuthin' to suit" he said. with
an attempt at cheeriness, when | asked
him What luck ?" Then ne added that as
ne could not afford TO pay locator for put
ting him on the land he was not able to get
what be wanted. Coin back to Tehama, 4"
he said. IT'S long drive, but me and my
old woman has travelled good deal and
we don't mind"
No, we don't mind" said his wife; but
her face showed plainly enough that she
dld mind very much, indeed
Three Santa Clara County girls have
taken up claims not far frcm here. An
elder brother is looking out" for one of
them aud the others are "looking out' for
themselves They intend to stick to tie

long time. Many things may happen, and
among them may be matrimony.

ANXIOUS FOR HONES.
faur Hundred Claims Filed at the Registers Office
in This City.

The rush for claims yesterday in the for.
feited railroad lands in San Benito and
Monterey counties was not so great as
anticipated. though Colonel John 7. Shee-
han. Register OF the United States Land
Office. stated that four hundred claims had
been filed under the homestead act. About
40 of these came in person and the rest were
sent in by mall Numerous other claimants
are expected to arrive to-day.
AS early as O'Clock the applicants began
10 arrive, and the clerks were kept busy all
day Ihe majority of those who fled their
claims in person had the appearance of
being hard working men who wanted the
100 acres Tor homes and not for speculativ
purposes. Under the homestead law the
pre-emptOr must improve the land erect
buildings, plant trees and place a portion Of
1t under cultivation before receiving clear
title.
Colonel Sheehan was of the opinion that
numerous claims would be filed on land
already pre-empted or purchased for the
railroad company, but as they are allowed
SIX months IN which to prove up these diff
culties can be easily adjusted. In the case
OF holders of forfeited land where later
Claims are filed the original purchaser will
not be diSpOssessed If he desires to retain
the land. Under the act the homestead
claims are settled according to the priority
of the claim.
Two classes of claims are allowed Those
under the homestead may be filed either
with the County CLERK or the United States
Land Commissioner for 160 acres or apy
part thereof In the forfeited lands those
who hold contracts to purchase for the rail-
road company are allowed to buy to the ex
tent OF $40 acres only. During the past few
weeks 800 applications have been made on
these contracts

PIrTsBURG, July 81. - The police are
keeping a strict lookout for the anarchists
Inspector McKelYey says Bergman is only
the tool of conspirstors, The anarchists" ."
he said, were getting ready to carry out
gigantic schemes, and an attempt would
have been made on the lives of several
prominent citizens"
1t is stated that an attempt to-day was
made to blow up the Carnegie Union Mills
in this city. During the absence Of the en-
gineer some one turned on the unlighted gas
IN the furnaces. The discovery of the
fact was made in time to prevent an
explosion. There were $50 men in the de-
partment at the time. and many lives would
have been lost.
This afternoon two anarchists, Charles
Finster and August Tirnopk Of Allegheny,
called at the station to see Bauer. They
were arrested Bauer saws there are 500
anarchists at Pittsburg and 1000 in Western
Pennsylvania.
Frick passed q most satisfactory night
Hugh O'DOnBell says he did not authorize
correspondents 10 treat with the Carnegie
people with the view Of ending the trouble
by surrender of the men. The cor
respondents took joking remark of his in
earnest and endeaYored to negotiate a
settlement.
Thrty-slX infOrmatiOns were made this
afternoon by Secretary LOvejoy against the
strikers for aggravated riot. and warrants
were Issued. Seven arrests were made this
evening,
