The Southern Pacific Not Allowed
Lands 1t Claimed.
WASHINGTON, March "a. Secretary Hoks
Smith to-day rendered his first lard decis-
Ion. 1t was the case of the Southern Pa
ciho Railroad Company and involved the
question of the right of that company to
lands within its granted limits aad the lin
it's of the grant to the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad Company, bssing its claim on the
ground that the latter company never COM
piled with the requirements of its grant in
the matter of locating its road and forfeit
ure Of its grant in 1856. The secretary,
holds, however, that the Southern Pacific
company had acquired no title to the lands
in question under its grant. This decision
operates to open these lands, aggregatipg
many thousands of acres in Southern Cal
ifornis, to settlement and entry. The COM
missioner OF the general land office was ac-
cordingly directed to take such steps as may

RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS.

Cleveland Won't suspend the Order
Which Harrison Circumvented.
WASHINGTON, March Alt will be re-
membered that when Mr.. Harrison came In
four years ago he suspended the execution
Of President Cleveland's executive order
bringing the railway mail service within the
civil service rules until by working day and
night his subordinators in the posJofhce de-
partment, under the direction Of republican
senators and representatives, had removed
a large number OF clerks aud others in the
railway mail service and filed their places
with republican workers, who have since
held them. Naturally, the men who were
then removed from the railway mail
service in this extraordinary manner,
especially those who were and are
democrats, would like very much TO have
their old places baok again and are en-
deavoring through their congressional
friends in some way to bring it about. As
yet they have found no practicable way.
President Cleveland could, OF course, sus-
pend the operation of his old order, which
now protects the republican partisans put
in under MIR. Harrison, but while be fully
appreciates the injustice done four years
ago TO the old employees of the railway mail
service, be is not willing to initiate the bad
example Of his predecessor.
