whst the Land Commissioners Ha
Learned About Chtnpeyn Pima.

whst che LAND Commissioner HAS
Learned About Chippewa Pine.
WASHINGTON. Jan. S.--Commissioner
Lonoreaux has submitted his report ON
The progress of the work of estimating
the pine On the Chippewa reservations
In Minnesota. The work of the force
appointed by this administration up to
date is reviewed, showing that four
townships at White Earth have been es-
timated and about one-fifth of the Red
lake reservation. There is enough Of
work to occupy several years more, and
the commissioner makes two recommen-
dations, which he thinks will be an inn
provement on the present system. One
is that the number of estimators be
largely increased, and the other is that
congress be asked TO amend the law which
provides that none of the Indian pine
shall be sold until it is all estimated.
He calls attention to the fact that fire.
quently fires occur which not only de-
stroy much valuable timber, but render
.valueless many of the estimates. If the
timber could be sold as fast as it is es-
timated both these difficulties would be
reduced to the minimum.
Secretary Smith appointed another
Georgia estimator. He is Robert E.
Reid, and he is to be assistant chief ex-
aminer. and will draw % per day. Reid
is a farmer, a personal friend of the sec
rotary and has served several terms in
the Georgia legislature.

Some New Ships Decided Upon by the
Admiralty.

Some New Ships Decided Upon by the
Admiralty.
LONDON, Jan. S.--The correspondent
of The Times at Plymouth says: The
admiralty has resolved to build four
frst-class battle ships Of similar design
to the Magnificent and Majestic, at a
cost Of 81, O00, 900 each. The armament
of the new vessels will include four ~
inch breech-loaders of a new type, 12 O.
inch quick-fring guns and several
smaller guns, including 12 Hotchkiss and
several Maxims. The new ships will
be provided with an extra coal capacity
which will enable them to remain at
sea for a longer period thad any battle
ship previously built.
A new type of gunboat, similar to the
Torch and Alert will be introduced by
the admiralty, and it is probable that
four OF them will be built at a cost of
$40, 900 each. They will be designated
as station gunboats. They will carry a
fine modern armament, but will not be
of great speed. The new navy estimates
will also provide that the work ON the
construction of the cruisers Powerful
and Terrible shall be proceeded with at
once. The Terrible is described as be-
ing the largest, swiftest and most pow
erful cruiser in existence.
The estimates will also provide for a
dozen torpedo d~estroyers, making the
addition to the navy 30 at an average
cost of e32, 600.

French Firs sn an Engiish Camp In the

LONDON, Jan. S.-Partieulafs concern
ing the hattie between French aad Brit
ish troops on the .ers of Sierra
Leone, on the northwest coast of Africa.
are coming slowly, and every hour
seems to give a graver aspect TO the at
fair. The situation will require careful
handling in order to avoid serious COM
plications.
Particulars of the engagement Just
received say that the British force, said
to number about 500 native troops sent
against the Sofas, Were encamped near
Warina in the sphere of British in
huence: Shortly before daylight on Dec.
%, this force was attacked Ly 80 Sene-
galese sharpshooters, supported by 200
native French auxilliaries under Lieu
tenant Moritz of the French regular
army.
The French opened fire upon the Brit
ish, who replied, and, after the fighting
had continued for some time, the French
retired, and Lieutenant Moritz, who had
been wounded, was captured by the
British and brought into camp. Upon
being questioned as to his reason for
opening fire upon the Brstish troops,
Lieutenant Moritz explained that he
mistook the British force for a force of
Sofas under European officers and Arab
leaders.
Lieutenant Moritz, in spite of the as
sistance promptly rendered to him, died
of his wounds.
In addition, 10 of the Senegalese sharp
shooters were killed, and of frontier po-
lice who accompanied the expedition, in
addition to Inspector Landy, two were
killed and three We're seriously wounded.
The British force, it is added, remains
at Warina.
1t is not yet explained what the French
force was doing in a locality which was
well within the British border, and it is
this point which is liable to lead to Sc
rious complications when coupled with
the shooting of British officers and
soldiers.
The leading English newspapers are
all inclined to suspend Judgment over
the affair until full details of the engage
ment are received from the governor OF
Sierra Leone. and Until an explanation
is furnished by the French authorities,
as to the presence within the British
border of such a large force of French
troops.

Ever since the death of Judge Ben
nett, we have had a lingering present
ment that Judge Campbell OF Aberdeen
would be called to fill the vacancy. The
following clipping from the Aberdeen
News OF the 4th inst, rather confirms
u presentiment: Gov. Sheldon was in
the city again last evening, likewise a
coterie OF western politicians and promi-
e n citizens, headed by Judge III. G..
Fuller, Of the Pierre circuit, and Lieut..
Gov. G. N. Herreid, of Eureka, to urge
upon the governor the claims OF Judge
Fuller to the vacancy, on the supreme
bench existing by reason of the death of
Judge Bennett. Among the number
we're M. L. Lightner, Of Roscoe; c. I'll.
Barron, OF Ipswich: Geo. G. ,Knicker-
booker, l.. T. Boucher and JAS. NJ.
Brown, OF Eureka. The gentlemen were
in consultation in the parlors at the
Kenasrd until a late hour, but whether
any Roadway was made is known only
by those who were participants, the gen.
tlemen departing for their several
homes on the regular morning trains.
Hon. G. w. Stafford, OF Waubay, the
governors oil inspector and right hand
a was also here, as was Hon. Chas.
r. Howard, oil Redteld, late assistant U.
S. district attorney, who would not be
adverse it is stated, to filling Judge
Campbell's shoes in the event OF that
gentieman's elevation to the supreme
bench.
There is good reason to believe that
the conference last evening will nowlse
change the plans Of Gov. Sheldon and
that his plans are in part to name Judge
Campbell for the supreme bench il there
is some assurance that the honor will
not I've lsremptorily declined. 1t was
claimed with muck p~ositiveness that
Judge Campbell had been interviewed
during the day by a man representing
the governor and sent for that purpose,
and that an impression had been gained
that the Judge was not adverse to assum.
ing higher judicial honors. III this
proves to be the case his appointment
may confidently be expected.
