FORTY MILLION ACRES.
Title to That Amount of Land In
volved In Case Now Pending
In the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-The title
to forty million acres of land is in
volved in case pending in the SUI
preme court of the United States
wherein the United States today asked
leave to file brief because of its con-
Germ in the questions presented The
title of the case is the Atlantic & Pa
clfic Railroad Co, VS.. Robert Mingus
ct al, from the supreme court of
the territory of New Mexico The liti-
cation was over a little tract of land
situated between the limits of that
part of the grant originally made in
1856 to the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad
Co, and declared to be forfeited to the
United States by the act of 1886, be-
cause the road coterminus Herewith
had not been constructed in accordance
With the conditions of the contract
The supreme court of the territory
affirmed Mingus' title to the land and
the railroad company appealed to the
supreme court of the United States.
1t IS claimed by the railroad that by
an act passed in 1881, congress ex-
pressly authorized the company TO
mortgage the land grant, and that hav-
Ing been done, congress could not for
felt the land, at least until after the
TIME when that mortgage became due
which time had not yet arrived. Mr.
Joseph Call. assistant counsel for the
United States in his brief states
that the land in question comprises ali

A Letter From the United States
Sanitary Inspector at Constants
nopIe.

WASHINGTON, Oct. PA letter
from S. G. zavaizino, United States
sanitary inspector at Cons1antinople,
addressed to Surgeon General Wyman
of the marine hospital service. gives a
striking idea of the recent massacres
in that city. He writes:
"A commission has been appointed.
in consequence of an trade or imperial
order. the mission of which commits
sion is to ascertain if the corpses of
the massacred people have been buried
according to the rules of hygiene. and
have not endangered public health. The
aforementioned commission. the men,
bers of which are mos,.ly members of
the International board of health. has
visited the Armenian cemetery at Shis-
ley, where they saw three large graves,
one Of which was 80 by 90 metres. and
only two metres deep. The two other
graves were smaller, about eight by
three metres each, where several hun
dred corpses were buried
THE aforementioned commission
has not visited the other Armenian
cemeteries of Constantinople, where the
mastered people have been buried.
I'm yesterdays Sitting of the sdni-
tary commission, the question whether
the prison will not endanger the pub

BOSTON, Oct. pa letter dated
Harpoot. eastern Turkey, Sept. 90, has
been received in Boston as follows
"All the letters which 1 have seen
agree in fixing the estimate at about
1000 as the number Of killed in the
Egin massacre
More women and children, in pro-
portion, seem to have suffered this
fate than in any previous massacre OF
which know. Many of the dead were
left in the streets for days as food for
dogs, and large numbers were thrown
into the Euprhates. The bodies have
been seen floating down the river 40
and so miles below tine city. In some
cases whole families have been oblit-
Grated. Exact statistics, of course,
cannot be given, but ii is feared that
1000 is an underestimate. That is a
large proportion in an estimated pop
ulation of between 5000 and 5000
Christians"
THE letters give the number of
houses at LOO, and of these 1t is said
only about $50 are left. This carnage
of blood and fire lasted from Tuesday,
the 18th, to Thursday, the 18th. All
the testimony concurs in showing that
the massacre was official and thai. it
was wholly without reason. There was
no disturbing element, except in the
nagination of a few
AS far as 1 can learn, the people
made no resistance whatever, and no
Turks were killed except possibly later,

were no Kurds in the place. The work

The massacre extended 10 several
of the Egin villages, but we have no
details
The local government is constant in
its assurance that no further massa-
cres will take place in this region, and
a good deal of energy is shown in re-
stTaining the turbulent elements. Five
people were killed in che Aghum VIII
lagos, one of them priest, but. the
timely arrival Of soldiers prevented a
general massacre. After all that has
happened, it is not surprising that the
Christians have no sense of security
and that they are unnerved by fear.
The restitution of the coming winter
threatens to be almost as great as last
year.

arrested Armenians are so many and
so thronged in the prisons that the poor
prisoners are obliged to stay on foot
all the time they are in prison, being
unable to lie down on account of the
lack of room. l will be able to state
the sanitary conditions of the prisons
after the commission presents its re-

such a condition may cause the out
break of infectious diseases. There are
already several cases of typhoid fever,

ease exists. What a physician can
see now are frightened patients suffer

during the 18th and 2Sth of last August
when all along the streets of Galata

chapel, Mr. Bryan made a little speech
to a delegation from the porch of the
residence of his host, DR.. r. b. Jones,
in which he said he had been accused
OF being undignified in going around

which seemed to be the proper thing.
The thrust was understood and ap-

A SPECIAL EVENT

The streets of Jacksonville began to
show evidences, early this morning,
that some special event was about to
take place in the pretty college Town.

many miles lined up along he curbs
of the principal streets. whiie ,0e
walks were crowded with excursion

few years OF their married life was
the magnet that attracted so many
visitors. all of whom had come to see
and hear the candidate deliver a
speech on the public square in the
afternoon. Ecrsemen attired in red,
white and blue sashes and decorations
of shimmering silver foil. gailoped
about the thoroughfares Of Jackson

rasional arrival of brass bands and
free silver clubs added to the excite
nent and interest that pervaded the
little civ
