WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-An order was is
SIZED a few days ago by Mr.. Leech. director
of the mint, to Col. Bosbyshsl superin-
tendent of the. Philadelphia mint. to have
coined at once 500. 600 in silver half dollars
for use in Washington during the Grand
Army encampment. This is q. supple
mental order to Others given for a large
amount of dimes and five,cent pieces to be
minted Tor the same purpose. treasurer
Nebecker has ordered an unusually large
amount Of small notes, such as 81, So and
S. bills, also to be prepared by the bureau
Of engraving and printing. The purpose Of
having the large supply of new coins and
treasury notes on hand is to enable the
visitors in the city at the time of the Grand
Army encampnent to exchange the worn
out and filthy small change and bills that
they are likely to bring with them for
something clean and handsome. Mer-
chants and others of the city have been
notified that they can get new money with
which to make change while the veterans
are here, so that the latter can take home
.withtthemfsome practical souvenir of the
capital city. The idea is not only to enc
fit the veterans. but to get in a lot of worn
out bills that in the natural course Of circu.
lation would not reach the treasury for
months and years to come.

ITALIAN RETALIATION.

a Sailor Killed in Italy Merely
He Was an American.
LONDON, Sept. 13.-The letters received
here from Genoa regarding the murder Of
Frank Reilly, the seaman of the United
States steamer Newark, who Wa killed on
the night of Sept. 8 in q lodging house n
Genoa, show that the national animus
against Americans was the cause OF the
crime. The proprietor Of the lodging
house, when the Newark's men applied
to him for lodging, used most abusive
language to them simply because they were
Americans. One of these present, know
ing the proprietor, advised the men that it
was unsafe for them to remain in the
place. All the sailors started for the door.
whereupon the proprietor, with a knife in
each hand. sprang toward Reilly, and
stuck both the weapons in his back. Reilly
staggered to the street, where he :ell and
died in a few minutes. The murderer was
entirely ~unprovoked, and Reilly was killed
for no other reason than that he was an
American. In consequences Of the killing

Decision Affecting Actual Set
tiers on Omaha Lands Re-
Gently Opened.
Claims Of Legal Filters Are Just
~ Given Preference Over
Squatters.

ASHLAND, Wis, Special, Aug. ia de-
cision was received at the United States
land office here to-day which is of the ut
most possible importance to homesteaders
and settlers on thu Omaha land grant re-
Gently thrown open to settlement. The de-
cision is upon the ground of priory rights
of parties who settled upon the land prior
to Nov. 2, 1891, at which time it was thrown
open for settlement, The case in question
was the contest Of Jennie Jacobs vs.. Charles
White and Thomas J. Mccoy. Mccoy and
White settled upon the land prior to its
being thrown upon the market, and Jennie
Jacobs was a filler. she having entered upon
the land after ~ o'clock of Nov. l. This is
the first Omaha case to be decided by the
general department, and its full force will
be realized by all settlers. The department
found Miss Jacobs wa entitled to the land
and the decision contains some very strong
points, one Of which is as follows:
ut is very clear from these regulations that no
preferred rights to these lands could be OBJ
tanned by reason Of any settlement, residence OF
improvements thereon prior to Nov. z. 1881.
The old rule that while settlers upon reserved
land. acquire no rights a. against the United
States yet as against each other, be who 10 prior
in point Of time is prior in right, is expressly de-
clared to DO inapplicable to the lands in ques-
ton, to which no settlement right was al.
lowed to attach until after their final opening
to settlement as prescribed. with. as has been
seen, was November, 1891"
The homesteader or settler is spoken Of
very harshly by the commission, who says
OF White:
ION the other hand, it would seem that White
belongs to that class OF persons who invade the
reservation in an effort to obtain precedence
over other and law-abiding citizens. and who
cannot be regarded acting in good faith
Another very similar decision was re-
ceived, and the opinion of the department
in the matter is this:
The acts of settlement alleged by either OF the
parties prior to Nov. 2, 1891, mead NOT be in.
quired into. as no priority OF right will be recog-
nized as having been instituted OF acquired by
settlement upon these lands prior to tneir
formal opening to settlement. It will be proper
to inquire rs to acts Of settlement on Nov. 2.
1891, prior to 8 o'clock a. M, when the applt-
cations Of the respective parties were received.
This decision was a great surprise to all
here aud will necessitate the rehearing of
lully one hundred cases which have been
decided by the local officers, in which no
evidence pertaining to who was first upon
the land alter IL o'clock Oh the night of
Nov. / was brought UP.
