MAJ. SANDS PLACED UNDER BONDS

MAJ. SANDS PLACED UNDER BONDS.
Major William II. Sands was prisoner
in the police court in Richmond yester-
day charged on warrant sworn out by
James E. Goode, a job printer, with
threatening to take his life. The
trouble originated in masonic lodge,
to which both of these gentlemen and
Justice Crutch6eld belongs, and had
its foundation in a report made by Mr..
Goode in a matter said to affect the
Integrity of Mr.. Sands. Mr.. Goode
had little to say, but requested that
Mr.. Sands should be put under bond
to keep the peace. His counsel hand
ed the court letter written by Mr..
Sands, which alluded to Mr.. Goode as
"lying and malicious scoundrel," and
alluded to future difficulty. Justice
Crutchfeld seemed inclined to ignore
the matter, but on Mr.. Goodies insist
ing on Mr.. Sands being placed under
bond, he set the bond at 81 900 for
twelve months.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
WASHINGTON, May II.
Secretary Smith holds that the grant
of lands to railroad for right of way
is q grant of an easement only and not
grant in fee, and that the United
States may dispose of the lands in ques-
ton by patent to other persons, subject
to the right of way of the railroad com
pany. The Secretary states that other
wise the company might sell the lands
to a bona fda purchaser and never
build the road at all, thus defeating
the purpose of the grant.
The President has decided to comply

MOUNT VERNON REGENrs.-The an.

MOUNT VERNON REGENTS an
nual council of the Mount Vernon La
dies Association is now in session.
Yesterday the efforts for the preserva-
ton of the Washington estate were dis
cussed. About twenty-five of the vice
regents are expected. OF these there
have already come: The regent, Mrs.
Justine Van Rensselaer, Townsend, of
New York, and vice regents, Mrs. Lee
titis II. Walker, of North Carolina;
Mrs. Ella B. Washington, of West Vir-
ginia; Mrs. Susan E. Johnson Hudson,
of Connecticut; Mrs. Emma R. Ball, of
Virginia; Miss Alice Longfellow, of
Massachusetts,; Mrs. ]. NJ. Ward, of
Kansas; Mrs. Ida A. Richardson, of
Louisiana; Mrs. Elizabeth A. Rathbone,
of Michigan; Mrs. N. P. Hill, of Colo
RADIO; Miss Harriet Clayton Comegys,
of Delaware; Mrs. Rebecca B. Elan
drau, of Minnesota; Mrs. F. G. Baker,
of Florida; Mrs. George R. Goldsbor-
ough, of Maryland; Mrs. Francis S.
Conover, of New Jersey; Mrs. Benja-
min Graham, of Missouri, and Miss
Mary Polk Yeatman, of Tennessee.
The association is in excellent con-
dition for, although its expenses have
increased each year, the receipts have
also increased, 80 that not only has the
property been fully restored to its
original condition, but the regents feel
no cause to fear for sufficient income
to perpetuate it.
Reports will be received from all the
State regents as to the progress of the
work in their respective States, and if
any especial work of restoration is
found necessary during the year it is
safe to say that some State will be
found ready to undertake it.
Little by little all of the original ma
terial in the building is slowly disap-
pearing, but the restoration is always
made to tally exactly with the original,
and being made little at time, there
is never any evidence of newness about
the work.

SOME republicans endorse and de-
fend Admiral Meade for speaking dis
respectfully of his superior officer, the
President, and others say his long
service and the fact that his heart beat
warm for his country's cause entitle
him to sympathy. Some other people
say the Admiral's mind has become I'M
balanced. If what these latter say be
true, of course the unfortunate man
will be pitied by all right thinking
people, and the government should
take care of him; but, otherwise, he
should be court-martialed at once and
cashiered, as an example to younger
officers in the navy. 1t is bad enough
for men not in the service of the gov.
eminent to speak evil of their rulers; for
those in its service to do so, is a crime
that deserves summary punishment.
