THEY CLAIM TWO LARGE CITIES.
Carver Heirs Want 100000 Acres,
and ST. Paul and minneapolis.

ChilMcothe. O., Nov. 20.-C. B. Hollo-
way of Holland O.. and O. L. Gum of
Maumee arrived in this city today to
secure the certified copy of a deed
which, it is claimed. will establish
their title to a vast tract of 1000, 600
acres of land in the northwest, cover
ing an area Of 1900 miles. On this
land is located the ciies Of St Paul
and Minneapolis. and also II smaller
towns. A number of railroads also
traverse the territory
Years ago, long before the revolution
Donovan Carver an EngliShman. settled
among the NawadwSssie Indians, who,
for valuable services rendered, made
him, as alleged, a present of the vass
of the Indians was ratified by the En-
gIish under George Ill, and then by
the continental congress. This land
was afterwards decided by Carver 10
Rev. Bishop Samuel Poters of New
York, hut by some oversight the deed
was never signed by Carver, and no
record was made of it. The deed of
gift made by the Indians was LOST and
could not be found, and for more than
100 years the Carver heirs have search
ed for 1T.
Recently ii was discovered in the old
records of this country. The antiquity
of the document was noted in a news
paper and reached the eyes of the
claimants Mr.. Holloway's wife is the
granddaughter of Jonathan Car
yer, and Mr.. Gum is a great-grandson.
Legal proceedings will at once be COM
nlenced to establish the title.

stiu a Battle of Standards.

Washington. Nov 2O.-Congressman
Hartman of Montana viii be the leader
of the independent silver men in the
next house.
The cause of bimetallism," he says,
Il consider the most important Of all
questions before the country, and so far
as am concerned all else will be sub
ordinated to it. 1 do not feel discour-
aged There will be a second battle
of the standards in 1898, and a sweep
ing victory of the country in 1900. The
Republican leader who has been hailed
all over the country DIS the advance
agent of prosperity, will, with his
party, have to make good that pledge.
1 think the outlook for tariff legisla-
ton gloomy one. but in the event of
a tariff bills passing Mr.. Cleveland
ought to sign it.
1.-THE course Of the silver men will
be determined by the caucus of the
silver men of ali parties. The cause
of bimetdilism is not political, but nat
ural, and I believe it will be so con-
sidered by all of its true friends"

FIGHTING CORPORATIONS.
Gov.-EIect Pingree Proposes More
Primaries and TwO-Cent Fares.

PRIMARIES "O-NSAse ~ ares.
Detroit, Nov. 20.-Governor-elect Pin.
gree proposes to urge legislation as fol-
lows:
Primary elections; doing away to q
great extent with conventions for To-
cal officers and giving the people them
selves more control in the selection Of
candidates.
Two-cent fare on all the roads of the
lower peninsula, at least.
Taxation of railroad property the
same as other property.
The application of the principles OF
the interstate commerce act to COM
merce within the state.
A vote of the people upon public
franchises such as street railway char
ters.
The suppression of trusts and moncp-
olies as far as the state can go in
that direction.
Laws against over-capitalization OF
corporations and swindles committed
by promoters.
Laws against the coercion of voters
and particularly to prevent great cor
porations of a quasi-public character
like railroads and banks from exertine
undue influence in elections.
The governor also proposes to dc
away entirely with the free pass sys-
tenn for public officials.
The corporations are endeavorlng to
secure an organization of the house
and senate hostile to the governor.

rHURsroN HOPES FOR TARIFF
Pritchard's Election Would Give the
Say to the Vice-Presidenf.

Say to the Nice-Prestdent.
New York, Nov. Ex-senator Thurs
ton saws: II think Chandler's analysis
of the standing of the United States
senate is correct, The Republicans are
certain of 43, are sure of Blackburn S
successor and have strong hopes OF
Pritchard's reelection in North Caro-
lima, making IS.
Il think there will be majority in
the senate after March 4 favorable to
a free silver bill by itself. but l believe
there will be a clear majority to vote
against any free silver amendment on
any other legislation. There are GER
tainly enough Republicans, with the
sound money Democrats to prevent
any other bill from being loaded down
by a free silver amendment, and there
fore I think a tariff bill can be brought
to a direct vote in the new senate
1T will have A votes. and if Pritch-
ard is reelected As, which, with the
vice-presidents vote, would pass it.
l should think Cannon of Utah would
certainly vote aye on the final passage
of tariff bill, and I believe some OF
the Po0ulists and Democrats will re-
frain from voting in order to give Re-
publcans chance to try what the Re-
publican tariff will do for the country.
Many free silveriteS believe that q
new protective tariff act would fail TO
restore prosperity. and if it does fail
they think the cause Of free silver Will
be much stronger thereby.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-11-22

the rooms occupied by the governor
council and the clerks of the assembly
are to be reconstructed. The banquet
hall, wnere the governor and officials
entertained in state occupied half of
the second floor. extending along its
whole length of 100 feet and having a
width of 20 feet. Each Of the other
rooms was about half that size.
MUCH YET TO BE DONE.
The alterations yet TO be made to the
exterior of the building before 1t re-
sumes its original appearance, involve
a great deal of labor. The wings, I'M
til recently used as county offices, V-~re
intended for. the safe storage OF Of
fetal records. Between the main hall
and the wings proper there were corri-
doris, arched over. and the staIrWayS
which led from the street to the sec
Ond story. When more room was want
ed these corridors were built up nearly
even with the rest of the wings and
converted into additional Offices 1t is
said that the new walls are built up
around the old brickwork IN such a
manner that they can be taken away
without much difficulty and the restor-
alton of the corridors will be compare
lively easy.
It is not unlikely that when the wings
are restored they will be used as mus
Gums for the valuable portraits, nags
relics now in the assembly and court
rooms They would be admira bly,
adapted for the purpose and would re-
lieve the other rooms of all superfiuous
material.
Another marked difference in the out
ward aspect of the building as it now
is will be made by the removal OF tnc
clock dials from the tower to their orig
ihal places in the end of the wall.
Not nearly enough money has been
appropriated for all the work in con-
temptation, but city officials are in
favor of making the restoration thor
ough in every respect. The old city and
county buildings adjoining the state
house are to be brought back to their
former condition, so that the whole row
along Chestnut street, from Fifth to
Sixth, will some day reappear as it
was when completed after designs
made by Alexander Hamilton over $50
years ago.

No Dingley Bill Says Hawley.

says
1T is of no use to try to pass the

better for Mr.. Mckinley to call an

to prepare such tariff measure as the
country desires. There will be no leg
