WAsHINGTnN May 5-A trip Of IN
spection to many of the local land Offices
in Minnesota, Montana, Idaho, California
and Colorado will be made during June
by Commissioner Lamoreux of the gen.
eral land office. The main object is to
secure thorough revision of methods
through the service. One of the main
aius is to reduce the amount Of cases
behindhand in the surveying branch of
the service. Since the beginning OF the
administration, the delay in the survey
ing cases has been reduced from two
years or more to about one year. The
commissioner believes this should be fur
ther reduced to about three or four
months, with new methods and the in
telligent cooperation of the local officers.
The tour, which will not be made at gov
ernment expense, will be begun during
the first week of June and extend few
days into July. 1t will begin at Duluth
and Crookston will be the next Office.

Judge Hawkins in Recognition of Their
Funny Ways Gave Them Thirty
Days Each.
Monday night two we'll dressed and
athletic young men, who gave their
names as j. M. Buckley and Charles Nc
Donald, entered the Progress restaurant
in jaunty manner and called for bill
Of fare. They were evidently used to
good living, for nothing on the bill! was
TOO rich for their blood, from oysters on
the half shell to quail on toast They
ordered literally and often, and
when they had finally put themselves
outside Of large supply Of the
best the The land afforded they
coolly sauntcred toward the door. Being
intercepted by the polite proprietor with
suggestion that they had forgotten to
settle their little bill, they carelessIy
waved him aside with the remark that
they had 10 money and he might charge
it up against them. This was hardly
satisfactory to the proprietor, but as he
saw no chance to rcplevy the goods he
rant he suffered the impulcnt IascaIs to
leave the place, after expressing his opin-
ion about them in an emphatic manner.
After they had gone and he got to
thinking over the way the two bike bad
ordered expensive dishes, he got hotter
and hotter, and finally went to Chief of
Police Guern with the story and ii de
ecription of the men. The chief ordered
their arrest, thinking possibly they might
be concerned in the holdup Of Casper
Toenekemper, which occurred some
hours after their visit to tho restaurant.
They were brought before Judge
Hawkins Tuesday and the chief then
recognized Buckley as man who had
been up before on IA precisely similar
charge, that Of beating a restaurant out
of meal. some time last fall. On that
occasion he managed to convince the
| judge that there were mitigating circum-
stances in his case and he was permitted
to 60 under suspended sentence. This
time no tale of woe would move the
court, He sentenced them both to 30
days imprisonment in the county Jail,
and intmated that the bill of fare al
the county jail might not contain the
item of quail on toast and that it would
be useless for them to call for it..
Mcdonald begged hard to be allowed
to leave town and 90 to Glasgow, where
he said he had job waiting for him or

sons employment but the court was OBJ
durate in its decision that he should
first taste the hospitality Of the genia

At 4 o'clock, the convention reassem-

PRETORIA, May 5-The voIksraad (par
lament of the TransvaaD was opened to
day by President Kruger Great and
most unusual interest was taken in the
proceedings, in view of the recent dis
closures made by the publication of the
cipher kilograms exchanged between
Cecil Rhodes, then premier Of Cape Col
ony, and others who took more or less
important part in the Jameson raid.
Numbers of the sturdy fighting farmers
came here days ago in order to bring
their influence to bear upon the mem
bers of the executive council in the hope
of bringing about the mitigation, il not
the entire Communication, Of sentence of
the convicted leaders Of the Johannes
burg reform committee. But it is use
less to deny that the publication Of the
series of incriminatng kilograms has put
decided damper upon the efforts of the
Beers to lessen the punishment of the
prisoners, but it is said much may de-
pend on the action OF the British gov
ernment toward Cecil Rhodes, the di-
rector of the British South African COM
pany, who took an important part in the
organization of the raid, and toward the
company itself, to say nothing OF the
punishment which may be meted Jane
son and his immediate associates. John
Hays II ammond, the convicted Amer
ican engineer, will, however be more
lieniently dealt with than his fellow
prisoners, ia view OF the fact that he
was opposed to actual rebellion against
the Transvaal authorities The preai-
dent, in his speech, said in brief that the
recent events "due to malevolence and
selfish Objects" had seriously interrupted
the rest and peace of the South African
Republic, adding, sit has been ever my
wish to promote the development and
prosperity of the republic in the most
peaceable manner possible; so, | am
firmly convinced that it is your
sincere wish to cooperate with
me in this policy, and that you
expect with the fullest confidence that
this session of the volksraad will con-
tribute IN no small manner to the restor-
alton of peace in this state, in order that
through our united cooperation our
country may flourish and prosper for the
benefit Of all" Loud applause. Presi-
dent Kruger turned to the relations
between the South African Republic
and its sister republic, the Orange Free
State remarking; 81 hope that meet-
ing between the representatives Of the
Orange Free State and the representa-.
tives Of the South African Republic will
shortly be held and plans for a closer
union between the two countries will be
discussed" This utterance was looked
upon as confirming the report that ne
gOtiations have for some time been on
foot for an alliance, offensive and de-
fcnsivc, between the South African Re-
public and tie Orange Free State, look
ing to resisting any attempt upon the
part of Great Britain t. interfere with
the internal affairs Of either country.
