NO MORE PATENTS ron LANDS.
Secretary Smith VIII Shut Down on
Subsidized Railways.

WASHINGTON, March 9-Secretary
Smith has determined that no more patents
for lands granted the subsidized railroads
shall be issued until there has been a set
tlement of the debt due the government
from these roads. An attempt was made
to get resolution to this effect through
Congress just before adjournment, but it
failed. As the resolution was pre-
sented Commissioner Lanlereaux, of the
General Land Office, Immediately suspended
all work the preparation of lists of land
within the grants, and none were sent to
the Secretary for approval while the resolu-
tion was pending.
Afterwards. when Congress adjourned, the
Commissioner felt impelled to go ahead with
Central Pacific roads the same with
other grants But, with the announcement
of the Secretary that he will not approve
any further patents to these roads, work
will again be suspended. Secretary Smith
will in q short time make order to that
effect, and give his reasons for such
tion He says that he thinks il just that
no more patents should be granted when
the roads owe the governme mt such large
sums 1t has been stated that a suit for
Inandamus to compel the Secretary TO con-
tinue issuing patents will be brought by the
railroads. When this was suggested to
Secretary Smith, to-day he said that il

damus.
The lands affected are within the grants

Omaha and Sacramento. 1t is also thought
