ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.


The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
cently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart OF Tehama County, for the
parpoSe OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
claEs Sacramento Valley agricultural land, TO
land OF far average quality, and is offered at
nom $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 80, 12o, 16o and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
Subdivisions, as above indicated, by the paw
mens of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF ave equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is TO have I'VE years in which to
pay I'VE equal annual tnstallments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity TO purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, ard es-
peclally adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove TO
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
OF these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase Of this
oody OF land was the breaking up of large
holoing Tor the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
TO diligent husbandry.
For further particulars, call upon or ad.

LONDON, March 12.-The cabinet held
a long conference today, being in ses-
sion over two hours. Usually at this
time of year the meetings are short.
The cause of the protracted session to-
day is understood to have been the
gravity of the situation in which
the government now finds itself
placed. There is reason to ibelieve
that it has decided to drop all the big
bills on the government programme,
finish the estimates and other abSO-
lutely necessary business at the earliest
possible moment and then dissolve par
lament. Doubtless Lord Salisbury will
obtain the queens assent to this line
OF action at Mondays meeting of the
privy council. 1t is an open secret that
her majesty prevented dissolution at
the time of the temporary panic during
the last session on account of her dread
that Mr.. Gladstone might be returned
to power through the general elections
if then held. 1t is stated that she now
realizes that dissolution is inevitable.
The Sunday Sun reports that cabi-
net council held yesterday discussed
the advisability of bring about labor
bill as bstitute for the Irish local
government bill. The Sun states that
the whole election machine of the min
isterialistS is in panic as the result of
London county council election, and
that the ministers have been strongly
urged to take the step they contem-
plate,

BERLIN, March IA meeting of
$500 unemployed people was held in
the Tivoli gardens today. There was
no disturbance. The addition of thirty
eight officers and 329 agents to the
police force enables better arrangements
to be made to watch the rowdy contin-
gent. The split among the socialists,
which is now pronounced, assists the
authorities in distinguishing the dan
gerous anarchist section from the mod
crates, led by Herren Bebel, Liebknecht
and Singer. The anarchist section, judg-
ing from assemblies held this week,

BIG IRON SUITS.
Two of Them Sprung in the City
OF Duluth.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, March 12.-The
natural result of excitement in the
Mesabi range is litigation. Two impOr-
tant suits were started today. One is
brought by w. n. Draper, prominent
attorney of this city, who seeks to have
a deed of land in township 5S, range 16,
valued at 100000, given by Edwin
Ward to James Il. Hale, Alfred Merritt
and others. 1t seems that some time
ago suit was brought by Ward against
those grantees to recover title to the
land, but they compromised it and Ward
gave quit claim deed. Draper in his
complaint alleges that he, as attorney
for Ward, was not consulted, and
as he agreed to take the case upon con
dition of getting a third interest if he
won, he has lost thereby over $50, ,0G0 by
Wards breach of contract. The other
case is brought by B. +. Moore, of Min
neapolis, by his attorneys, Fletcher,
lockwood IL Dawson, also OF Minneap-
oils, against John Mckinley and others
to set aside the deed for valuable iron
+ property in 5S-14 and 57-lS on the ground
of fraud. The complaint alleges that
the defendants, as agents for the plant
iff, sold the lands for $3.50 per acre to
themselves. having misrepreSented to
him that the property contained no
iron. Mckinley says that he made no
misrepresentation to Moore, who
s.. so per acre. He says that the suit is
the "naStiest piece of blacknail he ever
experienced" Hale, Merritt and Nc

TEXAS SENATORSHIP.
Chiffon, Mills and Culberson in
the Hunt.


WASHINGTON, March 12.-ConSider-
able interest is being manifested among
Democratic congressman over the COM
ing senatorial contest in the Texas leg
islature. The governor has called the
legislature of that state to meet in spe-
ciaI session next Monday, March IA, and
one of the subjects mentioned in the
call is the election of a United States
senator to fill the uneXpired term of
Senator Reagan, resigned. Senator Chill
ton, who was appointed TO fill the va
cancy until the legislature should reg
ularly elect, is being warmly pressed by
his friends, among whom the most earn
est is Gov. Hogg. Representative Mills
ana Representative CulberSOn are also
strong competitors for the vacant seat.
The ballOting for United States SEN
ator will begin Tuesday, the 22d inst,
and a unique feature of the contest is
that there Will be no preliminary Dem
ocratic caucuseS to settle the question
of party preferment. AS there are only
one or two Republicans i'll the legiSla-
ture, caucus is regarded as wholly
unnecessary, so that without any gen
eral preliminary conferences balloting
will begin on the 22d and continue from
day to day until somebody is elected
Another somewhat unusual feature of
the contest is the fact that it will be
conducted without any of the asprants
OIL the field. Messrs. Mills, Culberson
and Chiffon all announce today that
they expect to remain in Washington at
their posts of duty during the whole
contest

ANXIETY IN ENGLAND.
The Behring Sea Controversy Has
a Serious Look.

aSerious Look.
LONDON, March 12.-The Behring sea
controversy is assuming serious
aspect. The latest news from Wash
ington has aroused an interest in the
subject that did not before exist. and
everybody is anxious to learn the next
move of Lord Salisbury and President
Harrison. There is an impression in
England, growing out of the Chilian
controversy, that President Harrison
means what he says, and there is moth
ing of what Americans call "blutf''
about his warnings or fiS demands. 1t
is we'll known that Lord Salisbury is
equally in earnest, and that he will SuS-
tam whatever course may be deter
mined upon with any naval power that
may be necessary.
The foreign office is reticent, and has
as yet given the public no official state
ment as to the position of the British
government, but Lord Salisbury'S
gives no doubt that England's navy will
be ready for any American aggression
in the waters of Behrng sea, and that
British Sealers will be defended in cap
turing seals beyond the coast limit of
American jurisdiction.
England will take no offensive action,
but viii be resolutelY on the defensive,
leaving it to the American government
to.assume the responsibility for hostile
action, should any be taken OH the Behr-
ing sea issue.
In one important respect. it is held,
England would gain by a war with the
United States. 1t would put an end to
American encrOachmentS on English
commerce with South America, and it
would tend to solidify all parts of the
empire and to bind the American col
opies especially more securely to Great
Britain. British commerce would gain
more than it would lose, and American
commerce would cease to exist.
OTTAWA, March 12.-Nothing is
known here specifically of the difference
between Lord Salisbury and Secretary
Blaine on the subject of the Behring sea
fisheries. The government, while not
questioning Lord Salisbury's refusal to
cantinue the modus viyendi. processes
not to be responsible for his lordship'S
attitude.

Offieeholding.

CHICAGO, March Ia do not think
Mr.. Clevclaud's nomination among the
possibilities, and should the Democrats
of the country override New York's
wishes ana put Cleveland on the ticket,
his defeat is inevitable, " said DR.. George
J.. Miller, of Omaha, at the Auditorium
today. DR.. Miller is a politician Of long
experience and wide observation. For
years he was a member Of the Demo-
cratic national committee. "NeW York
will be in the coming election, as she
has been in the past, the pivotal state,
which the Democrats must carry to
win," continued DR.. Miller. 1--WE must
have the South, New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut or we are whipped.
The hope that the Democrats can carry
any of the Western states on national
issue is all mOonshine."
"I have been hearing the same story,
Eve are going to carry Nebraska for
twenty-five years. l do not think we
have yet made enough converts to War-
rant us in indulging hope OF carrying
any state heretofore safely Republican.
All Things are possible with God and
the tariff reform-but | am not looking
for miracles in the next election. l be-
Ieive Hill can be elected, and next to
him | would like to see Senator German,
of Maryland, nominated.
1--WE cannot win with a Western man.
Boies is good enough for second place,
but he could not carry his own state if
named for president. Palmer's nomi-
nation would mean defeat beyond all
doubt. Gray, Campbell, Villas, none OF
them are available. | am opposed to
this free silver lunacy. We had the
same trouble with the 'Greenback' craze
in 1876, when we had TO save the party
from being committed to the issue Of
nj irredeemable paper currency that
was advocated because it would be
plentiful and cheap"
