LORD SALISBURY SPEAKS.
The Prime Minister Makes an Address on
Foreign Affairs.
ABANDoNs THE ARMENlANs.
Lord Salisbury Tells why the Powers
Have Not Settled the Armenian
Questionable Monroe Doc
trine Supported.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The banquet Of the
Nonconformist Uuionist association
last night was the occasion of an ad-
dress by the Marquis of Salisbury,
prime minister and secretary of state
for foreign affairs. In the course of
his remarks he said, with reference to
Venezuela: 81 have been held up as
the denouncer of the Monroe doctrine.
As a matter of fact, although the Mon
roe doctrine is no part of international
law, my dispatch to Mr.. Olney, the sec
rotary of state for the United States,
supported it as a rule of policy in the
strongest and most distinct terms. But
when 1 stated in that dispatch, and re-
iterate now, that, as a rule now of
policy, we are the entire advocates of
the Monroe doctrine, we mean the
Monroe doctrine as President Monroe
understood it. In that sense, you will
not find any more convinced supporters
than we are"
Lord Salisbury then turned abruptly
to the Armenian question, and re-
preached the religious communities
with laboring under a mistake when
they supposed that England had
bound herself in honor to succor the
Armenians, which means to 90 to war
with the sultan, in order to force him
to govern the Armenians we'll. The
Berlin treaty, Lord Salisbury said
merely bound the signatory powers
that, if the sultan promulgated certain
reforms, they would watch over the
execution of these reforms nothing
more. He did not think anyone couId
interpret that as an undertaking to go
to war AS to the Cyprus convention,
Lord Salisbury continued, it contains
no trace of an undertaking to interfere
in behalf of the subjects of the sultan.
The speaker reminded his hearers that
the reforms which the sultan had re-
Gently accepted, although very good
reforms, could not be expected to pro
duce good government in two months,

TIE GRAINRATE.

The action of the railroads raising
the grain rate to Galveston, which was
done at the instance of the elevator
companies Of Chicago, st. Louis and
Kansas City, has raised a storm of ia
dignation among the grain raisers of
the state,
The western states secured the
appropriation by the government of a
vast sum to secure a deep harbor at
Galveston for the express purpose of
shortening the haul to the Atlantic
seaboard, aud this combination of rail
roads discriminating against the gulf
harbor is little less than outrageous.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of therailroad commissioners,
but that body seems to have little if
any power to regulate the evils so
manifest in transportation matters.

no EYICT FARMERS.
A Gigantic Litigation Pending In Topeka
Courts.

A Gigantic Litigation Pending In Topeka
Courts.
As a result Of the reckless seizure of
government lands by railroad compan-
les, the United Sta es has brought suit
IN eiectment against several hundred
land owners in central Kansas, alleging
that the railroad companies from whom
the present owners got their land never
had any legal right to the land, and ac-
cordingIy it is a part of the public do
main. If the government wins the suit
some of the finest and best improved
farms in the state will be open to set
Element under the homestead laws.
The case is being tried in the United
States district court at Topeka, and a
special master has been appointed to
take the testimony which is of unusual
Importance. The defendants, of whom
there are several hundred, have united
in securing the best legal talent obtain
able, and the governments claims will
be stOutly contested.
The cause of the trouble dates back
about thirty years, when, to encourage
the building Of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad, the government granted
to the railroad company each alternate
section of land within ten miles on
either side of the course through which
the track should run. The same act
especially reserved the remaining sec
tiOns for other purposes. specified in
the act. A short time before the Union
Pacific railroad received a similar land
grant, and the Santa Fe was likewise
aided in constructing its line.
As it happened, at several places the
different roads ran so near each other
that their grants over-lapped each
other, that is, the certain sections were
within the specified limits of each
cOmpany's railroad line. As the land
could not become the property of each
company, the affair was settled by the
NJ, K. & Us letting It's rival get the
disputed sections, while it seized the
ABIDING sections to indemnify itself for
the surrendered land.
In this way the railroads got possess
ion of all the land wherever their claims
Tapped The land was sold to settlers
by the railroads, who worked it and
improved it till now in many places it
is the best farming land in the world,
valued at hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
During his term in congress, the late
John A. Anderson, whose hobby was
that the railroads had filched more
than was due them, engineered a bill
through congress providing that the
government should bring suit to regain
the titles to the extra land, which the
railroads had seized wherever their
grants Tapped.

DUEsTROW TO HANG.
The Jury Finds Him Guilty of Murder In
the First Degree.

me EiIHt Desfee,
UNION, Mo, Feb 3.-After a brief ses-
sion in which single ballot was taken,
the jury in the Arthur Duestrow case
returned a verdict of murder in the first
degree, and assessed his punishment at
death by hanging.
The case has been on its second trial
here since January 13. The evidence
was all in last Friday night Saturday
the judge charged the jury and the day
was occupid with the arguments. At 6
o'clock Saturday night the case was
placed in the hands of the jury and the
members at once retired to rest with
out considering it. They assembled
yesterday morning, took a single ballot,
wherein the vote was unanimous for
murder in the first degree. Each tails
man seemed to have settled in his own
mind the merits of the case, and to
have decided upon a conviction before
entering the jury room. The verdict
gives the utmost satisfaction.
Millionaire Arthur Duestrow, NJ. D.,
was a physician in st. Louis, though he
never practieed his profession. On the
day of February "A, 1894, his wife and
2-year,Old baby we're waiting at their
home for him to come to take them out
driving. He entered finally in an in
toxieated condition, and began quarrel
ing with his wife.
He finally drew a revolver and shot
her in cold blood.
He then picked up the prattling child,
held it at arms length and shot it
through the head killing it instantly.
