ARCHBISHOP WILL WIN.
Opinion VIII Soon Be Rendered I'm
the Railroad Land Case.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-It is under
stood around the general land office to-
day that Commissioner Hermann has
made a decision in the case Of Arch
bishop Ireland, who claims the right
to enter large tracts Of land in Big
Stone and Traverse counties, Mime
sofa. The matter. it will be remem-
bered, went up from the local land
offices at Marshall and st. Cloud The
Marshall office rejected the claims of
Ireland on the ground that the Mani
toba Railroad company, with which he
made a contract for portions of the
tract, had not complied with the re-
uuirements of the law in securing the
grant. No disposition, however, was
made of the lands.
The st. Cloud Office rejected all
claims under the homestead and pre-
emption act, and awarded parts of the
land to Ireland, and parts to fndemni-
ty settlers under an act of congress
passed in 1887.
It is understood that Commissioner
Hermann will hold that the title to all
the lands In controversy are now In
the United States. having reverted by
lapse and Limitation statutes and rules
of the land office.
This being the case. the great ques-
ton which Mr.. Hermann will decide
is. who has the prior claim to entry
the settlers, or, more properly speaking,
the squatters, who took possession
without any formalities: Archbishop
Ireland, who holds the agreement from
the st. Paul. Minneapolis & Manitoba
Railroad company: or settlers who
claim that they stand in the same posi-

up to this time no negotiations
have been opened between the
ambassador and the state de-
partment. Both governments have
signified q favorable attitude toward
reopening negotiations, but the Brit
ish government will take no step what
ever until a definite assurance is at
hand that such treaty as may be ne
gotiated will become effective by the
ratification Of the senate.
1t Is said that the answer of Lord
Salisbury on the Boring sea question,
which has been briefly reported by ca
BILE, adds no new phase to the case, as
this declination was foreshadowed with
certainty by the answer Of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the Canadian premier. declin
ing to stop pelagic sealing. The ac-
ton of Lord Salisbury merely adds the
imperial and official sanction to this
declination Of the Canadian authorities.
AS the Russo Japan-American treaty,
made several weeks ago for the stop
page of pelagic sealing, was conditioned
on the concurrence of Great Britain in
a similar measure to stop pelagic seal
ing, It presumed that the effect Of Great
Britain's action will be to nullify this
treaty.

ENGLISH RECIPROCITY.
Negotiation Looking to That End
Are Now Proceeding.

Are Now Proceeding.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador,
painful attack of rheumatism, which
has kept him in bed for a good part
Of the last three months The fact
that he was able to call at the state
department yesterday led to reports
that, coincident with Lord Salisbury's
declination Of the proposition to stop
pelagic sealing, Sir Julian had renewed
reciprocity negotiations. His call, how
ever, had no such significance. as Sir
Julian did not know of Lord SaIisbury's
answer at the time he visited the state
department.
AS to the reciprocity negotiations,
they have progressed steadily through
Mr.. Adam, first secretary Of the en-
bassy, and Sir Julian will now be able
to give the matter personal attention.
The main desire of the British West
Indies colonies is to secure the 20 per
cent reciprocity reduction on sugar.
What will be offered in exchange has
not yet been determined. At the out
set the purpose of the negotiations was
confined to the British West Indies.
but the present indications are that
efforts will be made to include Canada
among the colonies receiving the adj
vantage Of reciprocity. How far this
can be done in view Of the failure of
the Bering sea negotiations, is not
clear, but 1t is probable that the Brit
,ish government will prefer to have the
negotiations embrace all the colonies,
including Canada, instead of repeating
the action when the last reciprocity
treaties were framed of combining them
to the West Indian possessions.
In this connection. it may be stated
that Mr.. Kasson, the special plenipoten-
tiary commissioner of the United
States, charged with the conduct of the
negotiations Of the reciprocity arrange
ments and treaties under the tariff
act. has not undertaken TO consider the
subject of reciprocity with Canada.
This absentation on the part of Mr..
Kasson is attributable to the facts that
the subject of reciprocity. pure and
simple, as described in the tariff act.
has become so involved with the seal
question and other Issues as to become
practically inseparable from th=m, and
so the entire subject of Canadian re-
IatiOnS appears to remain In the control
Of ex-Secretary Foster.
1t has been expected that the recoV-
FRY of Sir Julian Pauncefote would per-
init active steps on The British-Ameri-
can treaty of arbitration. There is no
present prospect, however. that any
thing will be done On that subj CT, and

Gentleman James Busy with a ChaI
IenSe That Is to BE Sent the
Champion.

! NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Dan Stuart,
who managed the Fitzsimmons-Maher
and Fitzsimmons-Corbett bouts sue
tcessfully, said today that he would
leave for the West next week and hop
ed that he would secure the signatures
of both Fitzsimmons and Corbett toaar-
ticles of agreement for a ring contest
which he proposes to bring off next
summer, probably in the state of Ne
vada. He said that as matters stand
now he does not anticipate any trouble
! in getting Corbett to sign, and he Is
equally hopeful Of gaining the consent
of Fitzsimmons to meet the big Califor-
MAN in the ring once more. Just what
the amount Of the purse which he
would offer would be, Mr.. Stuart re-
fused to say.
Mr.. Stuart would like to have the
contest take place not earlier than
next July, and said that he would like
to arrange a meeting between Kid Nc
Coy and Choynski or some other good
1niddleweight to take place in the same
week as the Corbett- Fitzsimmons con-
test. If he can succeed in making ar
rangements for both contests, Stuart
said he would offer excellent induce
ments for the winners Of both these
bouts to meet six months later, so
that in the event of Mccoy and F1tz-
( simmons winning they could settle their
differences as to their respective PROV
ess within the year of 1898. Mr.. Stuart
expects to be in Chicago by the latter
end Of next week, and said 1t would be
no fault of his if the big fellows ala
not come to an agreement.
William A. Brady, manager of James
j. Corbett, tonight sent to the Asso-
ciated Press the following challenge to
Robert Fitzsimmons, champion pugliist
of the world:
James ]. Corbett, dissatisfied with the re-
suit of his; late contest with you at Gar
son City, and not believing that you are his
superior either as; boxer or hghter ana

American public shares his belief that he

tions, has deposited to-day $1,000 as hrst

ments to have the management OF the con-

why the arrangement should not be speedily
consummated; for you in my presence at Car

entered into a contract OF sale with
them to dispose Of the tracts.
1t Is said that Investigations in tho
land office have shown that upon the
whole tract claimed by Ireland there
are not any bona fide settlers located
But there are several who are occupy
ing the land, and the only title they
have is the contract or agreement
with the archbishop. This put a new
light on the issues involved, and really
proves that Ireland's interest and
those Of the settlers who are acting
in good faith are in the same direc-
ton.
This being the condition OF affairs,
and 1t being clearly proved at the hear
ings that Ireland's intentions In case
his application to entry is sustained,
are to fulfill every agreement with the
settlers with whom he made contract
some years ago, 1t is limited pretty
strongly today that Commissioner
Hermann will so find in all instances
where 1t Is shown that the lands In
question have been occupied in good
faith, under the Ireland agreements.
The real opposition to Ireland's
claims, 1t has developed, comes from
parties who hope to make big thing
by having the opinion Of the Marshall
land office sustained so that thousands
of acres Of valuable land Will be open
to original entry, after many improve
ments have been made.
Mfnnesota's two senator's called together
at the White house again today and although
their audience with the president was brief,
