LABOR COUNCIL.
The Secretary Resigns and Il. w. Thur
man of Typographical Union
Takes the Place.

The Labor Council of this City has a
new secretary. He is e. w. Thurman of
the Typographical Union, and he was
UNANIMOUSLY elected to the Office last
night after the compulsory resignation OF
the former mbent, E. P. Burman, was
announced.
Burman. who was long recognized as one
OF the most energetic and tireless workers
for the good of the Labor Council,
was compelled to tender his resigna-
ton because his union, the Amaiga-
mated Woodworkers, had on last
Tuesday withdrawn from the council
ana consequently made him ineligible
as an officer OF it. The council in a vote of
thanks expressed its appreciation of what
the retiring secretary had done in the
past, and added hope that things might
very soon be amicably arranged so that his
union might resume Its former relations
with the council. The difference of
opinion had been caused over the de-
termination on the part of the council to
preserve Itself as non-p political organiza-
tlon devoting its attention exclusively to
industral and economical questions and

an auxiliary body formed in the interests

REGARDING RIGHTS OF ASYLUM
State Department Further Defines
Its Position.

Washington, May 4-Tne state depart
ment has taken an advance in the posi-
ton relative to the limitation of right
Of asylum, as is exhibited in the corre-
spondence between the department and
United States Minister IIIlman respect
ing the sheltering by the latter Of an Of
ncer of the overthrow government of
Ecuador last September While approx
ing the course of the minister, Secretary
Oiney took the ground that although
asylum might be afforded in the case of
a member of an overthrown titular gov
eminent while chaos reigns and until the
empire of the law is restored, when the
authority of state is re-established on an
orderly footing no disparagement of its
power under the mistaken fiction of extra
territoriality can be countenanced on the
part of representatives of this govern
ment in this the members of such gov
eminent are therefore placed upon equal
ity with unsuccessful revolutionists wht
can not find in the United States lega-
tons an asylum against the operations
of the local law.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE LANDS
Secretary HOlSe Smith Decides in Fa-
vOr of the State.

Washington, May 3.-Secretary Hoke
Smith as reverseu Ine decision of the
commissioner of the general land Office,
who made an adverse decision In a con-
test case between the state of Washing
ton and bhe Northern Pacific Railroad
Company.
The commissioner held for cancellation
the states selection OF list No. 2, made
for the use and support of agricultural
colleges. 1t was held that these selec-
tons conhicted with indemnity selections
pany. The state appealed to the depart
ment from the decision of the commits
sioner on the ground that the selections
made by the railroad were not of the
nearest available land to the losses des-
ignated, which were lands in the Occur
d Aene Indian reservation, Idaho.
The secretary agrees with the state
in its contention and says that if its Sc
lections are otherwise regular and legal
they should be submitted for approval.
Secretary Smith has affirmed the COM
missioner's decision in cancelling the Sc
lection of the Northern-Pacific Railroad
Company in the Spokane land district
and awarding it to Levi S. Driskell, who
made homestead entry. The land was
within the limits of the companys indem-
nifty grant selected on November II, 1888.
! but Driskell proved his claim that he has
been on the land since 1873 and complied
with the requirements of the law regard
ing improvements.

not so strongly opposed in that form.
