PACIFIC LAND GRANTS.
No Nor. Patent. to IL. Issued tn. Roads

No More Patents to He Issued the Roads
Washington, March 9.-Secretary
Smith has determined no more patents
for land granted the subsidized rail
roads shall be issued until there has
been n settlement Of the debt due the
government from these roads. An at
tempt was made to get n resolution TO
this effect through Congress. but u
failed. As soon as the resolution was
presented Commissioner LamoreauN OF
the general land office Immediately sus-
pended all work upon the preparation
of lists of lands within the grants, ana
none were sent to the secretary for ap'
proval while the resolution was pend
ing. Afterwards when Congress ad-
journed the commissioner felt impelied
to go ahead with the patcnting OF lahds
to the Union and Central Pacihc roads
but with the announcement Of the sec
retary that he will not approve any tuf,
ther patents to these roads work VIII
again be suspended. Secretary smith
will in short time make an order t.
that effect and give his reasons for
such action He says that he thinks IT
just that no more patents should De
granted when the roads owe the gov
ernment such large sums. II has been
stated that a suit for mandamus TO
compel the secretary to continue issu-
ing patents will be brought by the rail-
roads. When this was suggested u
Secretary Smith to-day he said that il
would be time enough TO begin work on
the patents when the courts granted
such mandamus. The lands affected
are within the grants to the Union ana
Central Pacific between Omaha and
Sacramento. Ii is also thought the
lands within the grant to the Oregon X
California road will be affected. as ii is
operated as a part of the Central Pa
cific railroad system.

ANOTHER MINE DISASTER.
Eight Men Probably surocated at Whit.
Oaks. New Mexico

Oaks. New heN-co-
Socorro. n. NJ, March io.-Eight min
ers are supposed to have lost their lives
in the Old Abe coal mine near White
Oaks, New Mexico, to-day.
The eight men are imprisoned in the
mine and may have escaped with their
lives, but the chances seem to be that
they met a frightful death by suffoca-
ton.
The shaft house of the Old Abe mine
caught fire shortly after noon and in a
few minutes the flames were communi-
Gated to the shafting and other work
ings in the mine.
The fire ragged so fiercely that only
one man in the mine at the time was
able TO escape. That man was G. E.
Wilkinson, who happened to be stand
ing near the mouth of the mine and
was thus enabled 10 save his life.
The others were working in the rear
chambers of the mine. Their only
means of exit was the shaft, or incline.

given what heTegarded as an object les
son to the employees of his department..
He heard arguments By many OF his sub

day being the semi-monthly pay day he
ordered the paynaster of the department
to pay out $1,000 in silver coin, this
money Weighing sixty pounds. There
was n good deal Of kicking among the
employees and good many Of them have
indicated TO the paymaster that they
want paper money on their next pay
day.
One OF the men, who was given several
pounds VI silver to carry home, remarked:
Il think Secretary Morton is very unfair
in what he terms as his object lessan. He
might as we'll pay Us in nickel pieces or
In copper pennies, ana If we protest that
is not a convenient form of money to
carry he might say that by that protest
we are not in favor Of copper and nickel
coin. rs matter OF fact, If a man We're
paid say SIC 0g0 in gold coin which he
would he expected to carry home with
him he would protest as strongly rs we
protest at being paid our monthly salary
