LAND CASE DECISION.
"squatters' VIII Have to "squat" Again
Birthday of Carbon.

NSQuattcrs' VIII Have TO 'SQuaV A&ain
Birthday of Carbon.
Special Correspondence of the Standard t.l,.
Red Lodge, April 29.-The commits
sioner of the general land Office. Wash
ington, has just made a decision that
is of great importance to Red Lodge
people in general and A. p. Edick.
Nelson McGillen and Thomas Early in
particular. When Red Lodge came
into existence the south half of the
town site was in litigation in the land
Office among the three parties named
above. Red Lodge was booming in
those days and people had to have
place to build their shelter. They could
get no title to land from either Edick,
Early or McGillen, for they had no
title to give pending their contests.
The settlers took ground for building
purposes by "squatters"' right and
bided their time. The "circumlocution
office" at Washington has kept the con-
testants in suspense for six or seven
years, and in the meantime the squat
tiers have peacefully enjoyed the pos
session of the lots upon which their
buildings have rested. Some of these
lots have been valuable from bust
ness point of view. The buildings
erected have not been very substan-
tial. because the owners did not know
when they might be called upon TO
move. No attention has been paid TO
the matter of streets and alleys.
Dwellings were erected on the spot
most convenient. Irrespective OF the
public highway plated on the map.
But the decision of the land Depart
ment at Washington now clears up
the muddle. The contest was over a
quarter section. The decision is an
equitable one and gives each OF the
contestants a slice of the disputed
area. A. p. Edick gets all of the land
except 25 acres Nelson McGillen re-
ceives Is acres and Tom Early 10. Ac-
cording to all laws of human nature
these men will now want rent for the
land the "squatters" have occupied for
several years. They will either have
to move, buy or pay ground rent, The
prospect is that there will be lively
time in Red Lodge real estate this sum

THE HEALTH OF THE ARMY
A Gratifying Decrease in the Preva-
lence of Alcoholism
The Report Issuei for the Year Now Closed
Is the Best Annual Showing
Ever Made

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE annual
report of the surgeon general of the army
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1895,
shows gratifying record as regards the
health of the army for the calen Gar year
OF 1894, which, taken as whole may be
said to be the best annual record ever
consolidated from returns sent in by
United States army medical officers, for
although the death rate is fraction
higher than the lowest rate ever rec orded,
the other rates are by far lower than
ever they before have been in the history
of our army. The rate of nom efficient or
constant sickness was only 34.4, contrast
ing favorablv with 40.l5 in the previous
year. and 42.1 as the average of the previ-
GUS ten years. and the average NUN ber of
days lost on disability by each man was
only 1916, as against 14.7 IN 1893 and 1915
in the previous ten years. The prevalence
of alcoholism in the army continues to
decline. In 1890 no less than seventeen
posts had more than 10 per cent of their
average strength under medical care for
drunkenness. and during the past year
only four posts had this percentage.
The food furnished the army is reported
as ample in quantity, varied in kind and
well cooked, ana the clothing issued has
given general satisfaction.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.-An eagle.

TO THE COURT OF CLAIMS
Secretary Carlisle viii Hear the Sugar
Mems Cause
Foregone Conclusion That He Will Sustain
Comptroller Bowler and Send the
Case to Court

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-After Comp
troller Bowlers decision to send the su-
gar bounty cases to the court of claims
Secretary Carlisle promised the sugar
men he would hear them if they desired
on this question. Last night the secre-
tary telegraphed ex-senator Manderson
notifying him the court of claims will
meet on the 18th of this month, aud unless
the question as to the comptroller s juris-
would send the claims to court. This
morning the secretary received -eply
from Manderson, renewing his request
for hearing and asking the time be
fixed at some date before November 10.
In mis- telegram to MandeIsun he declared
the com mptroller neither had jurisdiction
nor d right to send the cases to the court
claimants. II regard the position Of the
claimant as unassailable, said tine tele.
gram.
Although Secretary Carlisle will grsnt
the hearing the general impression at the
treasury depurtm ent Is that it will be un-
availing, as the secretary is reported to
have told representatives of the sugar
people some time ago that he would
stand by the decision of the comptroller.
Thare is an intimation that Carlisle
forced the issue at this time IN order to
get the matter into court before congress
convenes, as it was believed that the
sugar men hoped to keep it out of court
until an effort could be made in congress
again to pass the appropriations, coupled
with a provision making it mandatory on
the secretary to pay il forthwith

EX=CONSUL WALTERS CASE
The Sentence of Imprisonment Seems
to Be Illegal
Court HartiaI Proceedings Were Taken in
Violation OF French Law, and
May Be Set Aside

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-It has been
understood all along that the fate of ex-
Consul Waller. who is still held in i'm
prisonment by the French at Marseilles,
hinged upon the proceedings of the court
martial which sentenced him, and there
fore the state department has directed its
efforts mainly to securing a copy of the
record of the urr. Now that the record
is IN Paris, a careful examination of the
document is being made and already
there have been developed some points in
the nature of what may be fatal. for in
at least two points 1t has been found that
the proceedings of the court martial were
in violation of the French law, andSf
such case arose in the United States
this would be sufficient ground FOR the
setting aside of the proceedings and the
sentence and the release of Waller. In
the first place the court was com posed OF
five officers, whereas, the French military
regulations are said to require at least
seven persons to sit III the court. Besides
this, it has heen discovered that Waller
was not really tried as charged, but that
as the trial progressed, evidence was
taken on another charge not included In
the original matter, and that it was upon
what might be called supplementary
but irregular charge that Waller was con-
vIcted, Aside from the other points in
the case, this matter OF irregnlarity of the
proceedings may in the and go to make
up the case of our government as pre-
sented through Am bassador Eustis.

ROMISH RITES

ChapeIIe-Cathedral Dedication Today

The PaIIium Conferred Upon Archbishop
ChapeIie- Cathedral Dedication Today
SANTA FE, N. NJ. Oct. 1.-THE cefe-
mony attending the conferring of tbs sa-
cred palliuIn upon Archbishop Chapelle
took place today.
At 10 O'Clock the richly-toned bells in
the great cathedral signalled the depart-
ure of the procession of prelates and
priests from the arch-episcopal residence.
Six thousand people thronged the line of
march to the cathedral. Following tbs
cross and incense-bearers was Cardinal
Gibbons in royal robes, attended by
twelve prelates, seventy priests and
scores of acolytes, train bearers, etc.
Preceding the cardinal came Arch
bishop Chapelle, wearing purple robe.
The ceremonies IN the cathedral were
witnessed by $500 people, and we're Of the
most imposing nature.
The choir rendered superb music. Ser
mons were delivered by Arch bishop Kain
OF St. Louis and Bishop Bourgade of Ari-
zona, ,and following the latter Archbishop
Chapelle was invested with the sacred
symbol of church authority direct from
the vatican at Rome. The ceremony was
highly impressive and lasted three hours.
This afternoon Archbishop Chnpelle
entertained at dinner $50 prominent oiti-
zens, including the visiting preates. To-
night he held a public reception in honor
of Cardinal Gibbons, and at 10 o clock to-
morrow the cardinal will dedicate the
cathedral of st. Francis of Assisuim.

And, at the same time no Catholic, Who
ever he haa will have room for complaint
or will Id reason for being absent from
the congresses. The Catholic attend ance
at congresses will IN this manner be

Whenever the religions of the world ap-

pear aud to speak 80 as to give public

the nations that she lives and is destined

Much agitation is at the present time
being had in Europe over the proposition
to hOli a great congress of religions in
Paris duiing the exposition OF 1900.
The idea of Paris congress of religions
has sprung from the great congress at
mpetus from Rev. John Henry Barrows,
the inspiring and directing spirit of the
congress at Chicago during his recent
visit to France. and it will no doubt lead
to a great success. Catholics may we'll
taKe part in it. Indeed. the pope's letter
has cleared the way for it by marking
out the conditions under which it may
be held even in punctilious Europe. L
am of the mind that the letter OF the
pope on congresses in America is entirely
due to this coming Paris congress. 1t
will serve as guide to Catholics in all
countries of America or Europe. wher-
ever congresses of religion may be held.
l am glad Rome has spoken.

TOPEKA. Kan, Oct. 17.-Bank Com
missioner Breidenthal is in decidedly
agitated frame of mind over the disap-
pearance of Sl20, 900 worth of securities
belonging to the Fort Scott bank which
failed this week. Mr.. Breidenthal was
bringing the securities to Topeka. It
Kansas City he deposited them IN seat
on the Rock Island train which was to
bear him here ana stepped off to talk to
a friend. He left the train some distance
and when he returned to board 1t. the
train was gone, and with it the $120, 900
worth of securities. He telegraphed the
conductor to put all his luggage off at
Topeka, but when Mr.. Bridenthal reached
here he found only note to the effect
that no such property as he described was
on tho train. Ever since he has been
hard at work trying to locate the missing
package, but so far without success. The
securities were principally non-negotia-
BILE. Mr.. Breidenthals loss also includes
$3.50 worth of purchases which he had
made IN Kansas City.
