PUBLIC LAND LAW.

A Bill Reported to the House for an
Important Amendment.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Representa.
tive Hall of Minnesota today reported to
the house bill amending the existing
law regarding public lands. Provision
is made whereby settlers in townships
not mineral or reserved by the govern
ment, or persons and associations law
fully possessed of coal lands. or owners
or grantees of public lands, shall have
the right to have such lands surveyed
under certain conditions. The feature
the bill has in view Is the enlargement
OF the facilities contained in tiIu GOAL
land laws by permitting such lands to be
surveyed as can now be done in ths case
of agricultural lands required for actual
settlement. The discoverer OF valua-
BILE deposit OF coal upon the surveyed
public domain may now take possession
of and hold his mine. yet there Is no
provision of law under which patent
can issue therefor until the public sur
veys have been SO extended as to en-
brace it.
Another feature Of the bill provides
that when settlers or owners or grantees
of public lands make deposits in pay
ment of the cost of survey certificates
shsll be issued therefor and these may
be used in part payment for the lands
settled upon.

ARMOR PLATE FRAUDS.

A Retired Naval Officer Quizzsd About
tho Carnegie Plstes.
WARRINGTON, July 25.-Lieut. CHARLES
A. Stone, for three years ordnance off,
Ger for the Carnegie company, WAS q
witness in the armor plate investigation
today. When asked for the result Of
the recent government trials of plates,
he replied that the top halves OF the first
tive plates failed by Q narrow margin of
the requirements for obtaining premi-
UNI, while the lower halves failed by q
wide margin. In the case Of the third
plate, the top half secured q premium
and the bottom half failed. The bottom
half was generally considered the better
piece.
The lieutenant had been on the retired
list since last Decem Der, he said, and
had been employed by the Carnegie
company three years, drawing pay from
the government and the Carnegie COM
pany both until he was placed upon the
retired liet.
Chairman Cummings asked: did
you ever make any reports, or in other
words, do anything for the government
IN that line?"
Only Dy helping TO secure gooo
armor plates" he replied. He explained
that Lieutenant Meigs was now en-
ployed at Bethlehem under the same
arrangements. The lieutenant consid.
cred the ballistic test the only critical
one for trying armor plates, although
the physical test was valuable as guide,
when taken in connection with the bal.
listic test of the large plates. He said
that the opinion was gaining ground
that nickel steel armor required no
treatment and was as good without the
oil temperament process as with it.

Names OF His Customers.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Mr. Seymour,
Of the brokerage firm Of Seymour Bros.
& Co., was before the sugar trust inves-
tigation committee today. Mr.. Seymour
declined to answer questions put to him
as to the purchase of sugar stock by

knowledge OF the existence of an order
for such stock, which former witnesses
testified had been made through his
firm in the nams Of Senator Camden,
pleading that the committee had no
power to compel him to reveal to them
his patrons.
Mr.. Allison's testimony was import
ant as corroborative OF the statements
of Messrs. Gulliardeau and other wit
nesses. While the details OF his testl-
mony cannot be given, he stated posi-
lively that he had seen the Camden
order.
Another witness OF the day was
George Bruce, a New York broker. 1t

seen an alleged order for the purchase
of sugar stock which purported to have
been given by Senator Camden, and to
have also seen photograph ana an

THE wELLMAN EXPEDITION.

LONDON. July 25.-Mr. Fielden, owner
OF the Yacht Sside. which vessel sue

loss OF the Wellman party and their
steamer, said that he had learned from
Spitzenbergen that the Enthusiastically,
the vessel which was used to convey the
explores to the edge of the ice pack.
was an old whsler which had been fitted
up as steamer, and that she WAS in no
way fitted to encounter the ice.
Mr.. Fielden adds that he is led to be-
lieve that in the whole Of Wellman's
company there was no one possessed of
a practical experience in polar explora-
tions.
A representative of the Associated
Press had an interview today with Carl
Siewers, the Norwegian enthusiast in
polar matters, with regard to bis letter
to the Standard yesterday, announcing
that he was in receipt of advices from
Norway which left him in doubt that
the Wellman expedition was lost.
Mr.. Siewers showed the Associated
Press reporter o bundle of letters re-
ceived Monday last from Arctic sealsrs
who had returned to Norway from the
extreme northern waters. The writer's
said that they were convinced that not
only were all the members Of the Well
man expedition lost, but that Captain
Nansen's ship was also Crushed in the
ice.
Mr.. Siewers believes that the party
will return in Septem Der, after having
sailed an open polar sea. Peary's and
Jackson's expeditions, Mr.. Siewers de-
clared, were the only ones of all those
now out that we're scientifically planned.
