Reverses His Own Decision.

Instances are extremely rare where the
commissioner of the general land Office
has reversed u decision of his W Office,
but Commissioner Lamoreaux has done
this in a case einvolving the ownership Of
valuable land in the Chamberlain district.
In the decision the commissioner passes
upon some important legal points, and in
he case of Indians who have taken allot-
ments defines their rights in regard TO the
disposal of improvements or other per-
sonal property. This is a question that
has not heretofore been passed upon, and
If sustained by the Secretary of the Inter-
Tor will decide a point long in controversy.
The case in which the commissioner re-
verses himself is that Of Frank and
William Spalding VS.. Clyde Kinney and
James w. Sanford, and the tract involved
consists of IL tritle over 800 acres, situated
south of Chamberlain on the west side OF
the Missouri River.

VEST is FOR OBSTRUCTION.
Declares that No Revenue Hill Will
Be Passed This Winter.


Senator Vest of Missouri has expressed
the opinion that it would be impossible
for the Republicans TO pass the Dingley
bill or any other tariff bill through the
Senate at the forthcoming session.
III have no doubt" lie sail, s'that the
Republican Senators who voted with the
Democrats a the last session against the
consideration of the Dinglcy bill, with
the possible exception of Carer, will
stand with us again, and if they do there
is no possibility Of passing the bill"
"Suppose the gold Democrats desert
you9"
81 do not consider that possible. They
are no more protectionists than are the
silver Democrats"
The Senator feels no apprehension YER
the prospects of his own election, but says
that with Blackburn and VOORHEES, and
possibly other silver Democrats practice
ally beaten for reelection, he fears the
silver men will have a very narrow mar
gin, if any, in the Senate during the
Fifty fifth Congress.
