While this plan would give the minority

of the thirty-eight contests, four have been

DOMINATION BY RAILROAD
OF the California Miners Mineral Land
Committee
Is What Mr.. Lotus Assigns as the Cause for
His Retirement -Other Resigna-
tions Are Expected

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.-E. c. LOTUS
has caused surprise among the members OF
the California Miners association by re-
signing his membership of the mineral
lands committee, of which w. {. Ralston
is chairman. Ex.Congressman Caminetti
has been selected to fill the vacancy. A
strong effort has been made to keep Mr..
Loftus' resignation quiet. Lotus is a
prominent miner of Tuolumne county,
and for months has been making hard
fight against the policy of the Southern
Pacific in patenting as much land as 1t
could within it's land grant, regardless #
it's mineral character. 1t is known that
Mr.. Lotus is very much displeased at the
action of the executive committee in in
dorsing the bill agreeable 10 the railroad.
He still retains his membt rsnip in the
executive committee. but is said to have
purposely renamed away from its meet
ings last week along win j. b. Ir"@dwell.

who entertained the opinion that Iul suine
reason the corporation had secured friends
on the committee in number sufficient to
prevent it from asking congress for legls-
lation inimical to the present railroad land
policy. LOTUS has been advised by friends
to remain on the executive committee and
join about dozen others in movement
TO ask congress to give California a law
similar to the Idaho Montana act. If
something of this sort is not done it will
not be surprise to many of the commit
teemen to hear within few weeks of more
than half dozen designations from the
executive committee as protest against
what is alleged to be the domination of
the railroad in the commi tee.

Flynn of Oklahoma Provides the Sensation OF
the Day
The proceedings in the house were
opened by Cannon, Rep, of Illinois, Offering
a resoltion for consideration tomorrow of
an amendment to the rules for increase of
membership of the leading committee
from fifteen to seventeen (number in last
house), and for the creation of an addi-
tional committee on elections. The reso-
luton was adopted after Crisp stated the
minority would not object to the increased
membership, but certainly would oppose
the creation of an additional elections
committee.
Flynn, Rep, Oklahoma. asked unani-
nous consent for the consideration of
resolution calling upon the secretary of
the interior to inform the house the reasons
for the delay in the appointment of allot-
ting agents to allOt land to the Wichita
Indians, and whether any blood connec-
tons of the secretary of the interior were
interested in delaying the opening of the
lands to settlement.
McMillin, DEM, thought the resolutions
wer not drawn in the usual form.
While he was explaining it Flynn called
out:
1T don't affect any of your importations
into Oklahoma"
~ don't make importations," replied
Nc Millln sharply.
"Well, Hoke Smith does for YOU" re-
turned Flynn.
McMilin protested this was not an oc-
casion for leVty. He pointed out the de-
fects in the resolutions, and at Flynn re-
quest, "if not Incompatible with public
interests" was inserted.
Flynn made a brief explanation. He de-
.tr.N nj irt,r
had not been appointed. ut is a we'll
known fact that Hoke smith has lot of
relatives who are proiiting by the delay in
this matter. They are acting as attorneys
for the Indians" lie said.
His attack on the secretary of the inter-
ior was bitter. He said among other things.
he saw today contract by which a man
was to receive $27OO if he could prevent
Secretary Smith from ratifying the agree
ment.

ing a member of the house, and eulogize /

Flynn replied with some temper. II ,
admitted he had feelings in the matter.
and explained the cause OF it in his trip 70
Washington last spring. He had come
1900 miles to see the president and find
out why Secretary Smith had not complied
with the law. He had written President
Cleveland for an audience and waited in
vain for week to see him. He appealed
to secretary Smith and the commissioner
of the land Office, but to no avail. Flynn
then demanded the previous question. The
resolution was then adopted without divi-
sion.

The Men and Women Who Met In Hatch.
ards a Century Ago.
In recent life Of John Hatchard, an
old London publisher, some interesting
glimpses are given Of the men and women
who, century ago, were in the habit of
lettering away the morning in the dingy
bookroom Of the great publishing house in
Piccadilly.
Scott and Crabbe, Byron, Lamb and
Sydney Smith met there and gossiped over
new books or fingered rare editions of old
ones.
The Duke Of Wellington was in the
habit of riding up to the shop and leaving
q list Of books which he wished to buy
the exact limit of price always being care
fully stated to penny. On one occasion
an auction of old books was in progress
and a pamphlet, the title of which attract
ed him, was started at Q shillings. He
beckoned to the shopman.
"Buy it for me carte blanche" he said
and rode away
A day or two later he called again, and
the pamphlet was handed to him. 1t had
cost nearly 425.
The duke, who was saving of money,
changed countenance and then said quiz
city:
"You were right. l am enough of a
soldier to submit to my own orders
An old lady, soberly clad, but with
merry, twinkling eyes, came often to the
shop and was regarded with awe by the
clerks and customers. 1t was Miss Han
nah More, who had lately written certain
weighty tragedies.
One day little boy 6 years Of age, fol-
lowed nv his nIIrep aptarnd md bro,, n III a
note from Miss More to the publisher, ask
ing him to credit her 'young friend Tom"
for whatever books he might choose on her
account.
Two years later the same Tom brought
another note, stating that he was to be
credited to the amount of guineas, and
that as be already owned and had read all
the great epics she would suggest prose
works, Johnson's or Izaak Walton
"Lives.'
Many years later there was great field
day at Hatchard's. The third and fourth
volumes of Maoaulay's History of Eng
land" were in the press, and subscriptions
were pouring in from the royal family,
cabinet ministers and bishops, down to
poor clerks. The author came into the
shop and was told how the book had
stirred the whole country. The publisher
had known him for many years, but Ger
tain pleased flash Of the eye startled his
memory
"why, you are our little friend Tom"
he said.
Macaulay laughed and confessed to be-
ing the prodigy whose infantile wisdom
had long been tradition of the shop

Lord Chancellor and Great Seal.

1t may not be generally known that
during his term Of Office the lord high
chancellor is not permitted to leave the
Kingdom. If he makes holiday, he must
choose a locality somewhere within the
boundaries of the island. The reason for
this restriction Mr.. Lucy explains in an
article in The Strand Magazine, is that
wherever the lord chancellor goes he must
carry with him the great seal, and that is
not to be trusted out of the country. This
precious mark of authority consists of a
pair of dies made in silver When neces-
sity arises for fixing the great seal of Eng
land to any document, the dies are closed,
melted wax is poured in, and, opened in
due season, the great seal is found ready
for attachment. The pair of dies now in
use date from the accession of her majesty.
On her death they will be cut into pieces
and deposited with long list of others in
the Tower. -Westminster Gazette.
