Property in Chicago Now in Dispute
i'm the Court. .
Washington, Nov. 23.-Before commits
sioner Of the general land office, Lamor-
eaux, today began case which will be
argued during this week, afterwards go
ing before the secretary of the interior,
and will ultimately find its way to the
United States supreme court. 1t is the
claim on one side of VIM. H. Cox to about
$40 900 900 of .$15 100000 worth of prop
erty in Chicago, north of the Chicago
river to North avenue and east Of the Hall
survey to the lake., embracing about f63
acres of land. Another set of claimants
are H. NJ. La Toilette and Matthias Bon-
ner, who claim to be purchasers Of scrip
issued to the heirs Of Capt. w. H. Mckee,
veteran of the Mexican war, by acts of
congress. The land is now occupied by
railroads, business houses, ascanal and
about ten streets, and among those own
ing improvements there are Potter Pal
mer, NJ. K. Fairbanks, C. B. Farwell and
others. Before Commissioner Lam0reaux
this morning were: a gathering OF attor-
news from Chicago and Washington,
which included the foremost land attor-
neys of the United States.
C. w. Needham, Of Washington, adj
dressed the commissioners for the present,
for shore owners Of the property. He
said the plaintiffs claimed the lands as
vacant or government lands, but they
could not be called such as they were oc-
cupied by various enterprises involving
millions Of dollars. Mr. Needham's main
point was an attack upon the govern
ment survey of the tract, stating that 1t
did not comply with the Jaw as was pre-
scribed in the surveyors manual. The
plat did not indicate in a single instance
that there were any improvements, such
as railroads, business houses, manufac-
tories. residences and streets. He Claimed
that the department, before approving
such surveys, should have had the exact
facts and should have seen that the: spe-
cific instructions given to the surveyors
had been followed.
Judge Best, assistant commissioner OF
the general land Office, sitting with Judge
Lamoreaux, said that the instructions had
been practically carried out. e. -
Mr.. Needham replied that they should
have been carried out to; the full intent OF;
the law. It was not the duty OF a goy-
ernnent official to practically perform his
duties. but to do them in accordance with
the spirit of the law. He also said that
the government lighthouse was on the
lands in question, but was not shown ~.
the survey and added that the plat should:
not remain for moment on the govern.
ment records, as it was false and mis-,
leading. ys ss ss VI 4

The Nail Trust.

: Cleveland, Ohio. Nov. 222.-The news
from Chicago Of the collapse OF the wire
mai! trust was not surprising to some of
the manufacturers in this city. Ten days
ago it was predicted that the trust would
cut the price from $3.50 to s1.75 keg, to
meet the competition Of outside manu-
facturers, who could not be bought UP by
The pool. A representative OF the Ameri-.
can Wire Works company. one OF the
Cleveland concerns which has been con-
trolled by the trust, said today that hts
company received notice month ago that
the payment Of subsidies would stop on
the GATH of this month. In consequence
the company had arranged to. start twen-
tvshve machines manufacturing nails on
the 25th. This manufacturer declared
that the buying up Of competitors had be-
come too expensive. and the trust was
forced to quit, It is now predicted that
the nail manufacturers who have been re-
leased from the trust will combine to make
war upon the steel pool, which has been
charging discriminating prices for billets
to,wire manufacturers who are outside the
DOOl.

HANNA. HAS A PLAN. !:

Claveland, Ohio, Nov: ..21.---A Though on
Mr.. Hanna's own statement he will not
take The treasury portfolio, he has a scheme
for directing the finances Of the govern
ment, which is. already considerably dis
cussed. Mr. Hanna is credited with favor
ing the isseuing of bonds to cover the en-
tire outstanding amount of ss greenbacks.
These bonds ne would have authorized by
congress in the same act providing for the
retirement of the obnoxious notes.. BY

But not RELYING on the national banks,

on the basis Of ! the new: bonds, many Of

first that 1T will break the backbone OF

a few hours more and the seacoast would
be reached, and the traveller would look
out on the noble harhor of Vladivostock,
with Japan to the south. The trip from
there to America would be on.board the
new steamers that would run direct either
to Vancouver or San francisco.
In all the civilized countries of the world
there is standard gauge for railway
tracks which has in nearly every instance
been adopted. But the Russian prince does
not intend to take any chances, and has
established a gauge several inches wider
than other European nations, so that in
case of war they cannot switch their en-
gines and cars on to. his tracks and thus
convey troops to the interior.
