filed in the United States circuit court
here today to test Secretary Hoke
smiths decision in the Ashland cases,
involving, besides title to the land,
about $50, 600 worth of pine. The COM

against the Keystone Lumber ca
panv, which secured the con- tract TOT
pine on the lands from the Superior
Lumber Company, the company Of
Villas u Knight, wi no In turn secured q
contract from the Wisconsin Central
road. The latter's right was vested In
the right Of odd numbered sections In

the act of 1887 and the land opened to
settlement The comm issi0ner of the
land office held that this act does not
apply to the keystone Lumber Com
pany, as 1t Is not citizen. and the
purchase of timber was not purchase

General Howard Follows the Lead of
the Head of the Army.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-THE annual
report of Major General o. o. Howard,
commanding the department Of the
east, recommends an increase of the
army to at least double the size OF the
present force. In his judgment 1t will
be the best possible method of preserv-
ing peace until the vexatious questions
which are now troubling the country
are put ut rest by solutions satisfactory
to the people. General Howard ex-
presses the opinion that already our
coast defenses are in fairly good condi-
lion, and in conjunction with the ever
increasing naval armament there need
be little fear from outside aggressions.

Alleged lewiston of China Declared to
BE Improbable now.
LONDON, Oct 1.-THE Times tomor-
row will publish dispatch from lien
Tsin, dated yesterday. which says that
Japanese papers received at that place
afford negative evidence that the re-
port circulated three weeks ago of the
dispatch of an army corps from Hiro-
shima for an 10 vasion of China was I'M
true. Any such expedition is rendered
impossible by the shattered condition
of the japanese fleet. The Japanese
perhaps begin to reflect on the prob
lem of the eventual extrlcation of the
troops from Corea, where they remain
on the sufferance of the maritime pow
ere, especially Russia, who is sending
ii additional ships, including three
ironclads. Russia will have the most
formidable fleet ever asse N bled east of

The number Of deaths in yelling.
ton this week again reminds OF the
frailty Of the physical ties that bind
us to earth and to each other. How we
should cherish the friendships and
affections that are ours for so short
a time. How sad to think that men
often live lifetime without a word
Of encouragement, and are even
glad to welcome death which frees
them from pain and despair. How
happy we might all be-and yet how
miserable are many of US made by
Jealousy and distrust Of our brothers
and sisters who are alike shriyelins
