WAS THE BIG LAND SUIT THAT
HAS BEEN ENDED BY STIP-
ULATION,
ACCORDING TO DISPATCHES,
FOUR CASES REALLY SETTLED IN
VOLVING TITLE TO 100000
ACRES OF LAND.

News.

The land attorneys of both the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
roads explain that there is little to add
to the dispatches announcing the set
tIement at Washington Of the big land
suit which has been pending for some
time past in the United States supreme
court. The suit in which the decision
has just been given was begun some
years ago by the old st. Paul &
Northern Pacific company, which ex-
tended from Brainerd, on the then main
line Of the Northern Pacific, running
from Ashland to the Pacific coast, to
st. Paul. 1t was against the Manito-
ba road to recover a portion Of land
grant lands from the latter company.
The land in question was quite eXten-
sive and lay on the line of the road
north and west of st. Cloud. The case
was won by the st. Paul & Northern
Pacific company in the United States
circuit, and it was given title to some
thing over 100000 acres Of land The
decree of this court was reversed, how
ever, by the court of appeals, and the
Manitoba company was given the de-
CloIoH. 1He case was lnen carried TO
the supreme court by the st. Paul
& Northern Pacific company, which is
still in existence, and the decision just
rendered was by stipulation of both
the Manitoba and Northern Pacific
companies, and in favor of the Mani
toba company.
In connection with the settlement of
this case, three other cases We're settled
which give the Northern Pacific road
about 100000 acres of land in the
neighborhood Of Glyndon, in Clay
county.

DULUTH STORY DENIED.
Relief Sent to India Was Thankfully
Accepted.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov "a Duluth
dispatch to the effect that Capt. Labourg, of
, the famine relief steamer City of Everett.
has made complaints of the manner in which
he was treated by British custom officials
of Calcutta and the English citizens of that
city in general with reference to duties and
other matters. has brought forth yigor-
Gus denial from the chamber of commerce of
this city in part as follows: 1--WE have no
knowledge that annoyances were Intentional
ly inflicted on the City OF Everett or her
master. We have had formally extended
10 our people, through official channels, the
thanks of the British government for the
kindly action of citizens in forwarding
this relief to British subjects. The chamber
of commerce of San Francisco was the local
responsible organization in connection with
the charter of the City Of Everett, and there
fore deems it a duty to place this matter
before the public No duties whatever were
charged on the cargo moreover, it was trans
ported by the British government to the
points in the interior free of charge
British Consul General Warburton places
no credence in the Dispatch stating that
there is no duty On grain and foodstuffs,
such as the Everett carried. Consul General
Warburton has a letter from the captain
of the steamer dated Calcutta, Aug. %, tell
ing of the discharge of the relief cargo and
making no mention of any trouble or un-
pleasantnesS in the matter.

SEEKING AN OLD DOCUMENT.
vatican Being Searched for the Re-
port of the CrucifiXiOn.

Being IoF ieC-
port of the CrucifixiOn.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-A report to
the World from Rome says:
The Vatican authorities are reticent
concerning the alleged discovery of a
report made by Pontius PLATE to En-
peror Tiberius on the events of Jerus-
alem about the time of the cruciixion
of Christ. The subkeeper of the vat
lean archieves was seen this evening.
He said:
His Holiness is naturally extremely
cautious about permitting the publica-
ton of any document with the i'm
primatur of the Holy See, the authen-
ticity of which may afterwards be
reasonably contested His Holiness
has been profoundly interested in the
possibility of the discovery of the
original document referred to- dated
Ammo Donini 149, but so far the search
has been fruitless."
l gathered that the manuscript of
149 only refers to the earlier report,
and contains no details from it of any
value Careful examination for the
original is now being made by experts
specially commissioned by the Holy
Father in the Vatican imminent
rooms, or for references to it in earlier
documents than 149.
The first Indication of the possible
existence of this mOmentOuSly Interest
ing report was accidentally obtained
by an erudite monk engaged in in
vestigating the archives of the fifth
century and gathering facts concern
ing the early history of the papacy.
He followed the clew back to the man
uscripts of the third century, and then
again laboriously pursued it until
farther allusion was found in docu-
ment of 149.
There the investigation is brought to
a standstill at present and the pope
has given strict injunctions that no
translation of references in the docu-
ments shall be published until sub
mitted for his sanction. The attitude
Of the Vatican authorities on the mat
ter is one of skepticism as to the like
lihood of any original authentic infor-
nation being unearthed and some Of
the officials seen were chary even
about admitting that anything had
been discovered at all, and We're
acutely apprehensive lest they might
be represented as giving color to eX-
pectation that a contemporary account
of the most solemn event in the
worlds history is in existence.

DISPUTE ON GRANTED LANDS.
RopERT T.. CARR EFT AL. CLAIM
ALL IN EXCESS OF 100000
ACRES.
PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION DENIED
Dva,pt;me the Question Of the Own
ershtu of the Lands May BE
Decided.

An anplication for a preliminary IN
junction asked for by Robert E. Carr
ct al. against the receivers Of the
Union Pacific Railway company was
heard by Judge Sanborn, of the United
States circuit court, in chambers yes
terday. The complainants, Robert e.
Carr. of St Louis, and the heirs of ex-
GOV. John Evans, of Colorado, seek to
restrain the master in chancery from
disposng of the granted lands of the
Denver Pacific Railway and Telegraph
company, whose line, 106 miles in
length runs from Denver to Cheyenne.
In 1869 the Denver Pacific Railway
and Telegraph company had a contract
with Mr.. Evans by which he was to
have all the lands in excess of 100000
acres, it being estimated that there
was !, 100000 acres. The land was mort
gagged to secure first mortgage bonds,
and the decree of foreclosure provides
for the sale of all the granted lands to
pay that mortgage debt. The com
plainants above alluded to are endeaV-
oring to establish their title to the
excess of the 100000 acres, not includ-
ing homesteads, mineral claims, etc,
and claim that a sale of the lands
would prejudice their cause. The re-
spondents claimed that there was no
excess due the heirs.
BY mutual consent the sale was post
poned until Dec. 20, and Judge Sanborn
denied the injunction. Attorney NJ. F.
Taylor, the attorney for the heirs,
stated to a G o b reporter that the
question of his clients ownership of
the excess lands would probably be
decided by that time; if not, he will
renew his application for an injunction.
In the proceedings yesterday, Charles
Blood Smith, of Topeka, represented
the Sage and Gould trustees; Judge w.
r. Kelley, of Omaha, and Willard
Teller of Denver, appeared for the
Union Pacific company ad its receiv-
ers.
A general conference took place in
Judge Sanborns chambers yesterday
regarding the confirmation by the court
of the foreclosure sale of the main line
of the Union Pacific at Omaha last
Monday There were present besides
Judge Sanborn Gen. Gown. of Omaha,
representing the United States govern
ment; Winslow Pierce and Lawrence
Greer, of New York, representing the
reorganization committee; Judge Kel-
ley, of Omaha, in behalf of the receiv-
ers of the Union Pacific, and Charles
B. Smith, of Topeka, representing the
first mortgage bondhOlders.
The conference, so Mr. Pierce said,
was a purely informal affair, in which
the various counsel discussed the ar
rangements preliminary to the formal
confirmation of the foreclosure sale OF
the Union Pacific.

A BARBAROUS SURGICAL 0PER-
GRAFTON
For the Cure of Piles

Is not only intensely, painful, dan
gerous to life and very expensive, but
in the light of modern medical re-
search and since the discovery of the
Pyramid Pile Cure a surgical opera
ton is wholly unnecessary. If you
have any doubt on this point kindly
read the following letters from people
who know that our claims regarding
the merits of the Pyramid Pile Cure
are borne out by the facts.
From N. A. Stall, Ridge Road, Nj
agara Co., N. Y: l received your Py-
ramid Pile Cure and tested it last
night. 1t did me more good than any
thing [ have ever found yet. and re-
member this was the result Of one
nights treatment only.
From Penn w. Arnett, Batesville.
Ark: Gentlemen:-Your Pyramid Pile
Cure has done me so much good IN so
short a time that my son-in-law, Capt.
II. J. Klein, of Fort Smith, Ark, has
written me for your address as he
wishes to try it also.
From A. E. Townsend, Benville, Ind:
[ have been so much benefited by the
Pyramid Pile Cure that [ enclose 81
for which please send a package which
7 wish to give to a friend of mine who
suffers very much from piles.
From John H. Wright, Clinton, De
Witt Co, I'LL am SO we'll pleased with
the HYTdllllu IIc Su1C ILleIb L NIl-lA ~
hut right to drop you q few lines to
inform you it's effects have been all
that I could ask or wish.
From P. A. Bruton, Llano. Tex:
conference.-the Pyramid Pile Cure
has done so much good for me that I
will say for the benefit of others hat
after using only two days I am better
than L have been for months
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
by The Pyramid Drug Co. Of Albion,
Mich, and it is truly a wonoerful rem
edy for all forms of piles. SO ereat
has been the number Of testimonial
letters received by them from all parts
of the country that they have decided
to publish each week number of
such letters and never use the same
letter twice, but only fresh letters will
be published.
All druggists recommend the PHra-
mid Pile Cure, as they know from
what their customers say that no REM
edy gives such general satisfaction.

FALL OF BOSS PLATT.
President Inclined to Make 1t Com
DIete by Turning Him Down.

DIete by Turning Him Down.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-President
Mckinley, since his arrival in the city,
has expressed surprise to a New York
caller over the outcome of the contest,
both in Greater New York and the
state itself. From what he said the
visitor drew the inference that the
president was angry at Senator Platt
for having misrepresented conditions
and having put the administration IN
a ridiculous position by having it in
dorse a candidate who ran third in
the race.
1t is now generally believed that, as
a result of Platts complete defeat and
the strong showing made by the inde-
pendent Republicans under Seth Low
the president will soon take pains to
express his disapproval of the New
York senator's conduct. All appoint
ments in New York will not in the
future be made subject to the approval
Of Boss Platt.
That Mr.. Mckinley has strong feel
ing on the subject of bosses may be
gathered from this remark, made by
him concerning the result of the elec-
ton:
You see, there are so many local is
sues in the different states that the
national aspect has been lost sight of.
In many states the election resolved
itself into a fight against 'bossism' ir-
respective of party"

ed today by the executive committee of the
association will leave for New York to make
their hnal arrangements for the handling of
the business. The committee appointed to-
day consists Of Chairman Caldwell and w.
F. White, who is the chairman of the execu-
tive committee Of the association.
The meeting of the Western Passenger
ASSOCIATION, held for the purpose of consid-
erlng the withdrawal of the excessive COM
missions in the territory of the association
and the use of short line rates on round
about business, has adjourned without taking
any action. 1t considered the question very
carefully but came to the conclusion that
1t would be unable to adjust matters until
after the settlement of the affairs of the
Union Pacific and Of the Union Pacific, Dem
yer & Gulf.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul and
the Rock Island roads are worrying over the
possible action of the new owners of the
Union Pacific regarding their right to use
the big bridge between Council Bluffs and
Omaha. They are fearful that the new own
ers will take the stand that they are not
bound by the contracts of the old organiza-
ton and will make effort to shut them
out of Omaha, or at least demand from them
an increase in rental for the rights to cross
the bridge. In the latter event, it is like
ly that there will be the tallest sort of a
fight, as both roads declare that they have
the management Of the Union Pacific down to
them.

DECENTRALIZATION KEEPS UP.
Passenger Rates Unsettled Between
st. Paul and Chicago.

Notwithstanding all efforts Of the chairman
of the Western Passenger association the
rates between Chicago and st. Paul and Min
neapolis continue to be greatly disturbed.
The chief causes of the decentralization are
the gangs of Italian laborers that are going
South for the winter. The regular rate be-
tween St. Paul and Chicago for this traffic
is $3.50 and the laborers are being carried
for $3.50. The trouble has spread to first
class passenger rates and there seems to be
