Its Discovery Makes Some DiHerenc
In Cleveland, Ohio, and Certaii
Railroads.
CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 31.-Ths Wester
Reserve Historical society is In possession
of certified copy Of the original deed o
the entire Western Reserve, made In tn
year 1900. The document was given tn
society day or two ago by julius Lem
beck, an expert accountant. In whose pos
session 1t has secretly been for severa
years.
While working up case in the stat
house in Hartford, Conn.,, Mr.. Lembecl
came across the deed thrown carelessl,
among lot of other papers. He caused {
certified copy to be made, and handed tn,
original to the secretary of state of Con
neeticut.
The deed Is from President John Adamt
to the State of Connecticut, for the benefit
of the Connecticut Land company. Iti
northern boundary Is the center of Lake
Erie. The land company later sold shore
lots only to the wate RS edge.
Mr.. Lsmbeck claims that the land under
the lake Is, therefore, still the property OF
the heirs of the Connecticut Land company
or ct all events not the property of the
commissioners of shore lots.
If that be so, the Lake Shore and Cleve-
land and Pittsburg roads do not own the
land they have made in the lake, nor will
the city own the land they propose to make
az Erie street. Many have in the past de-
MED the existence of this deed.
SMALL CHANCE FOR PECKHAM.
The Scheme to Secure the Votes Of the
Missouri Senators Fails.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-There Ia joy In
the anti-Peckhsm ranks in the senate over
the defeat of the presidents scheme to win
back the Missouri senator's to his side
Some days ago Governor Francis of Mis-
souri, was summoned here to carry the
olive branch to Senators Vest and Cockrell,
and the negotiations were actually begun,
but they had not proceeded far'when the
senators discovered the plan and stopped
all overtures.
The discovery was made when one of the
senators remarked that he might be willing
to talk with the president after the Peck
voy explained that the reconciliation must
take place before that time, and the an
swer was that this could never be.
The governor, finding HE mission fall
ure, has gone home, and the field is now
being cleared for the arrival of the official
messenger boy of the administration, Don
NJ. Dickinson. But, from the outlook, Mr..
Dickinson's reception will be chillier than
that of Governor Francis.
AS to the talk of Mr.. Croker taking q
hand in the Peckham fight, 1t cen be stated
without fear of contradiction that there is
nothing whatever In the rumor. Mr..
Croker, in his interview with the president
last Thursday, did not mention the nomi-
nation, and he has not broached the sub
jeot to the senators.
1t is expected that Mr.. Croker will be
here again in few deys. He starts for
the Mardi Gras at New Orleans this week,
aud will spend day or so at the capital.
Alter his visit to Louisiana he will go to
Belle Meade, Tenn, near Nashville, and
will spend some time there.
