Farm stud is to be broken up and one
of the most sensational sales of trot-
ters of the year will be the result. AT

An IMPORTANT LAND SUIT.
1t Involves the Possession of Millions of
Acres of Land.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Oct. 27.-The
most important land suit ever tried in
the federal court in West Virginia is
now on before Judge j. U. Jackson. The
case is one involving the possession of
about 2,500,O0O acres of land in Mingo,
Logan, wyoming and Mcdowell coun-
ties, West Virginia; Pike county, Ken
tucky and Buchanan and Tazewell
counties, Virginia. The case was
brought by Henry c. King, the present
litigation involving the title to half q
million acres, but it will be followed by
separate suits for the possession of
tracts aggregating two and half mil
lion acres. A brief history of the land
involved is:
James Swami, Boston merchant and
a friend of George Washington, the
original owner of much of this land,
sold what he could of it and devoted
the proceeds to furthering the cause of
American independence, himself taking
an active part in the war. In return
IOr MS services the uOuSe VI SollSieos VI
Virginia redeemed to him all the land
sold and gave him much more in addi-
ton.
Swann's idea was to found a colony
composed of people from France. The
advent of Napoleon frustrated the emil
grafton and Swami was confronted with
debt of four million francs, which he
was unable to pay, and was confined
in ST. Pelage for ten years. During the
riots in Paris Swami was released, but
he died heart-broken on the streets
three days after gaining his freedom.
The Virginia legislature appointed
John PETER Dumas of Philadelphia
trustee for the French creditors Du-
mas died and left the estate $S0o,000 in
debt. The French creditors employed
Hon. Josiah Randall of Philadelphia in
1885. Meanwhile the great estate be-
came forfeited to the state for non-pay-
ment of taxes and in 1888 the state,
mindful of the patriotism and generosi-
ty of her protege, reconveyed it.
Mr. Randall died in 1865 and year
later Robert f. Randall was appointed
trustee by the United States court On
his removal the debt had grown to ST.
100000 Since then many other trustees
have tried unsuccessfully to disentangle
the affairs of the estate.

SOAP FACTORY BURNED.
A Blaze Out Near Yale Field Last Night
The Building Burned to the Ground.

The soap factory owned by Ledderer
& Wolf, opposite the entrance to Yale
field, caught fire last night at about
1O:45 and was entirely consumed. How
the fire originated is not known. There
had been no fire in the furnace since
last Saturday morning. No efforts were
made to put out the flames, as they
were too far advanced when discovered.
A large crowd, attracted by the light
of the fire, was on hand shortly after
the flames broke through the roof and
helped to hunt and kill the rats, which
came scurrying out by the hundreds.
The factory stood on the site of en-
old soap factory which was burned
twenty years ago.

DUE TO CANADIAN PRESSURE

Great Britain Refuses to Help Patrol Ber-
ing Sea.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-Great Brit
ain has failed to renew her adherence
to the joint regulations for the govern
ment Of the seal fisheries in Bering sea
and upon the United States has de-
volved the patrol of this vast area single
handed and under conditions that
might at any time give rise to trouble.
Beginning early in the year the state
department has sought to induce the
British government to renew these reg
ulations, but up to this date the effort
has been unsuccessful, and now that
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
bassador, has gone home to Eng
land on leave of absence, it is
certain that nothing in that direction
can be accomplished before next fall,
too late to be of any avail during the
present season. This declination of the
British to enter again into the joint
regulations is ascribed entirely to
Canadian pressure, and it is felt that if
left to follow their own impulses they
would not hesitate to join the United
States in the execution of the recon-
mendations of the Paris arbitration in
spirit as we'll as in letter. The situa-
tion is one calculated to breed trouble
and is the cause of some anxiety to the
treasury officials.

Spanish Minister Complains
of Expeditions Leaving

WASHINGTON, June 14.-secretary
Olney is thoroughly determined that
the United States government shall do
all in it's power and all that interna-
tional law requires to prevent the vio-
lation of United States territory by
persons who undertake to make it a
base Of hostile operations against Spain,
with which power it is at peace. Com
plants have reached the department of
state through the Spanish minister
that men are being recruited on Amer
lean soil and that armed expeditions
are leaving our shores for the purpose
of attacking the Spanish forces in
Cuba Whenever the necessary evi-
dence can be procured these infractions
of the laws of the United States are to
be severely punished, for the secretary
Of state will leave no just ground for
complaint that the United States has
failed in it's obligations to other ma
tions. Meanwhile, however, it has
been deemed proper to give formal
warning to misguided people Of what
they may expect, and the president has
issued proclamation warning all citi-
zens against violating the neutrality
laws against Cuba and instructing
United States officers to vigorously en-
force the laws and punish violators
thereof

Senator Call Says the United States Gov
ernment Gould Do Nothing Else.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-When asked
as to the character of the flibusterers
who are reported to be leaving the
Florida coast for Cuba with the view
of participating in the Cuban insur-
rection, Senator Call of Florida said a
majority Of them are Of Cuban descent.
''The sentiment in Florida" he con-
tinurd, sis generally with the insur-
gents. as am satisfied it is in the
country at large, and but for the Cuban
climate and the danger of contracting
fever on the part of native Americans
I believe the Cuban army would ere
this have been reinforced by 100000
men from this country"
The senator said tho administration
could not under existing circumstances,
and in view of our treaty obligations,
do less than make an effort to prevent
the filibustering expeditions, unless it
should, as he thought it ought, decide
to recognize Cuban independence. He
was Of the opinion that it would be
more difficult in the fall, when there
will no longer be danger on account of
yellow fever, to keep American SYM
pathizers out of Cuba than at present.

THE CHICAGO CANAL
1t Will Greatly Diminish the
Carrying Capacity OF
Lake Vessels.
ESTIMATES OF AN EXPERT
Fall of Nine Inches Means a
Loss in Earnings of ..'
100000.

MILWAUKEE, June IA special to
The Wisconsin from Buffalo, N. Y,
says: Secretary Keep Of the Lake Car
riers association has submitted to
Major E. H. Ruffner, United States
engineer, at the request Of the latter, a
report on the estimated decrease in the
carrying capacity of the lake fleet un-
der a three, six or nine inch fall in the
mean level of the lakes by drainage
through the Chicago canal. He figures
that lowering of the lake levels by
three inches would diminish the carry
ing capacity of the lake feet l, 142, ,3O7
tons and reduce it's earnings $571, 1856.
A lowering of six inches would cut the
capacity 2,2S4,6l4 tons and diminish
earnings 1,142,37O. A lowering of
nine inches would affect the capacity
to the extent Of 3,427, ITO tons and wipe
out 1,713,555 in earnings. The earn
ings of lake vessels are estimated at 30
cents per ton of cargo carried over and
above cost of loading and unloading
Mr.. Keep concludes as follows:
"The change which is going on in
the lake feet is extremely rapid, the
smaller vessels disappearing and the
larger vessels taking their place. This
process and the national growth Of the
traffic will tend to greatly increase the
effect of fall in the lake levels on
carrying capacity, as time goes on"

A Revival of Industry.

It is learned that a revival of stock
interests is found among the farmers in
the central and western part of the
state. The country is 60 we'll adapted
to :stock growing that the Northern
Pacific should, in the opinion of the
railroad commissioners, take a more
active interest in stimulating this in
dustry. General Freight Agent Moore
has already furnished considerable in
formation and offered certain induce
ments to shippers Of pigs and has dis
cussed the raising of potatoes and
other vegetables from a practical stand
point of mutual interest to che road and
the farmer: There are renewed inquiries
as to sheep and it is possible that the
railroad company will have it's attention
called to the desirabillty of attempting
to rehabilitate this industry that has
suffered considerably in recent years.
Better prices and more careful attention
to shippers. aided by the unfailing pas
turage of this part of the state will, in
the opinion of the commissioners, add
greatly to one of the leading industries
of the state to which it is directly
adapted.

Formally Opened.

op0uoUs
SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont, June IA
The new Canadian canal has been
formally opened here. It was ex-
pected that large delegation of min
listers and members of parliament
would be present to celebrate the .oc-
casion, but as members of both sides Of
the house were opposed to breaking in
on the time Of parliament, the idea was
abandoned and the proceedings were of
merely formal manner.
The contracts for the canal and lift
locks were let in November, 1885, and
those for the entrance works in Jan
uary, 1889. The water was first ad-
mitted to the locks on Sept. 25, 1894
The total length Of the canal across st.
Mary's island is 1000 feet, or from
eastern to western extremities of the
piers 5000 feet. With it's approaches
The Total Distance
is three and half miles. The lock
chamber is 900 feet in length, in width
so feet and has depth of water suffi-
cient to pass vessels Of 30 feet draught
at the lowest recorded stage of water
below the lock. The lock fills in nine
minutes and can be emptied in seven
and half minutes. The canal proper
has a surface width at low water level
of 152 feet and bottom width Of l45
feet.
At point about l,5OO feet above the
lock it is crossed by a swing bridge
over which the railway systems of
Canada and the United States finds
accommodation. The work altogether
cost about 100000.

Sound Currency Man Says the Silver
"Craze" Is Dying Out.
NEW YORK, June 14.-Gustave h.
Schwab, chairman of the executive
committee Of the sound money com.
mittee of the chamber of commerce Of
the City of New York, said, concern
ing the chambers crusade against free
silver:
"The high water mark of the silver
craze has evidently been reached. The
most significant thing to emphasize
this fact is the action Of the Populist
state convention at Des Moines, Ia., at
which General J. B. Weaver and his
followers, who represented the radical
wing Of the party, were completely
turned down by the more conservative
element. The one cheering thing of
the whole fight is that the Populist
party is disintegrating, and that sound
sense is finding foothold among the
farmers. The campaign of education
is bearing fruit and unless all signs
fail before the presidential election oc-
ours next year the rampant silverites
will be routed horse and foot.''

Greenway will ask the legislature to

the legislature cannot see it's way clear
to obey the order Of the federal govern

federal government must, therefore,
take the responsibility: of interference.
