INTERIOR DEPARTMENT DECISION.
The Interior Department has just
passed on a case in which a peculiar
maud is being practiced. Some time ago
aresident OF Tennessee wrote to the At
bHey.General stating that last May he
saw an advertisement in Chicago paper
offering for sale 100 acres of land in Gov
ernOr wunty, Kan. The real-estate
aMHyed at Lathrop, Mo-, and through
v bin the land was purchased by the man
hvm Tennessee. 1t was then found that
he government owned the land, although
Vie Lathrop agent had furnished a COM
pete deed and abstract of title. Since
hen the same land has been advertised
/ by the same agent. 1t is held by the
Interior that, as the rights OF the gov
] eminent are in no way affected, there is
nothing for the department to do in the
premises. 1t is suggested, however, that
the attention of the proper authorities
be called to the fraud with view OF
saving innocent parties who do not take
4 the trouble to make a thorough investi-
CATION Of land titles.
ALL THE LOTS ARE SOLD.
The Interior Department has been no.
tiled that all the lots in the townste of
Woodward, o. t., have been disposed OF,
and the Commissioner of the general land
t2fCe has ordered the board for the town
discontinued. Some questions arose as
Dwhether the sales OF the last Register
and Receiver of the land district, in
Which Woodward was situated, would be
Pproved. The Commissioner says that,
the officers insist upon their purchases,
lsane deeds OF lots will be delivered to
aem, but the practice is most emphat-
Nally discouraged. A strict order has
een granted against the purchase OF
0s by boards appointed to make sales,
ndWhen such purchases have been made
.Ae deeds are ordered Cancelled and the
lots resod.
KURINo CoNFERs WITH GRESHAM.
The new Japanese Minister, Mr.. Ku-
nno, had a conference with Secretary
uiesham to-day, discussing the terms OF
convention to supersede the extra ter
E'orlal jurisdiction now exercised by the
united States Consuls in Japan. 1t is
Understood that the instrument under
discussion in its general character diff
Iefs only slightly from the treaty recent
negotiated between Great Britain and
Japan.
FLOUR FOR CHEROKEE INDIANS.
Acting Secretary Sims has decided not
" pay 81 a bushel for wheat for the
Onerokee Indians in the Southeast, but
WI buy flour for them instead. These
1nulans have flour mill at their reser-
.suon, and the Indian bureau wanted
make use of it; but, as the Indians
nave raised no wheat of their own, the
''ner alternative is deemed proper.
n OKLAHOMA PosToFFICE BUILDINGS.
AGtlng Secretary Sims has informed
Ky rostmaster-General that the Land
&;epartment has no objection to the cree
taon oil postoffice buildings on the gov
ftnment reservations at Guthrie and
ery, y. I. The buildings are to be-
'Ume the property OF the government in
w years, and meanwhile will be used
postoffice buildings.
