SWAMP LAND GRANTS.
Wisconsin Has Received 5000, 900 AcI
and Expects 100000 More

Wisconsin Has Received 5000, 600 Acres
and Expects 100000 More.
MADISON, Wis, June S-The com.
missioners of public lands have discov.
cred that there are still due the state
about 700, 900 acres of land which were
warranted to Wisconsin by the federal
government by the swamp land act Of
1850. This amount of lands, or their
value in money, the present state ad.
ministration has set about to secure for
the state, and members of the commits
sion of public lands have just left for
Washington to lay their claims before
the general land Office and either se-
cure title to these lands or else recover
their value from the federal govern
ment. In either case there will be a
neat addition to the resources of the
state that will be Of no inconsiderable
amount.
The claim of the state is based on the
swamp lands act, which granted nearly
1000, 600 acres Of
so-Called swamp Lands
coming settlers took up many of these
lands and received patents for them
from the federal government. In
response to objections by the state the
federal government in 1857 passed the
indemnity act, which provided that the
United States should pay Wisconsin
for the land SO held by the settlers.
But the excitement Of the civil war
prevented the adjustment of the
claims. From the time of Governor
Rusk till the coming in Of the Peck
administration the state recovered
some 5000, 900 acres of land, or equiva-
lent in money.
When the present administration
came in the commissioners of the land
Office began to look up the records of
the matter and they found that there
was still due the state 10000 acres.

NEW YORK, June S-General ]. s.
Clarkson, = Republican national COM
mitteeman from Iowa, in an interview
on the political situation. has pro-
nounced in favor of Senator Allison.
He says:
'An intelligent observation Of the
political situation convinces many Re-
publicans that Senator Allison will be
nominated at the next Republican ma
tional convention. I, myself, am con-
v1nced that he most certainly will be
the best candidate of the Republicans
and, moreover. that he will surely be
elected. have nothing to say against
the claims of other Republicans. but in
my travels l have found the very
strongest undercurrent running for
Senator Allison. find this sentiment
West. Senator Allison is sound on all
commercial and financial questions.
Under him the tariff would be revised,
not on high protection lines, but on
lines that would carry out the
Great Doctrine of Protection.
There would be no upheaval Of the
tariff. but it would be satisfactorily ad-
justed and the mistakes of the present
administration would be remedied. In
ternational bimetallism would also be
established under Senator Allison. HI
would not appoint any half and halt
commissioners to go abroad on this
question, as did President Harrison
international bimetallism cannot b.
accomplished by the appointment O
any such kind Of commissioners. Sen
ator Allison would appoint commits
sion composed entirely of internationa
bimetallists, whose hearts and soul
would be in the cause, and when tn
| foreign nations became fully convince,
that such commission had come t,
talk to them, the mission would quickly
| be successful. Senator Allison's com
mission would mean business and ther
would be no useless speeches or tire
some and unsuccessful debates"
