WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-An immense
claim, embracing 100000 acres of land
in the northwest and including the
cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. has
been brought before Commissioner Her.
mann of the general land Office and the
assistance Of the government in securing
official data was called for.
The claimants are G. 3. Holloway of
Holland, o., and A. u. Gum of
Maumee, o. They are now making an
examination of the general land office
records with a view to securing copies
of certified papers. which they assert
will establish their title to the lands
claimed by them. Their ancestor,
through whom they claim title. was
Jonathan carver, an Englishman, q
well-known explorer in the last century.
Carver lived among the Indians of
the northwest, mostly IN what is now
Minnesota and Wisconsin, and for a
time he was adopted by some of the
tribes. including the Seminoles, who
made him chief, and, for valuable serv-
ices rendered. it is claimed by the
heirs, presented him the vast tract.
They assert that this tribal act was rat
flied, both by King George III and the
Continental congress.
Gum claims as great grandson of
Carver and Holloway's wife is the
great granddaughter. A representative
OF the heirs had a long interview with
Land Commissioner Hermann. in which
their contentious were explained The
department will render whatever as
sistance is possible in the way of secur-
ing information
The case was presented to the land
office by George 2. Rose of Michigan,
who claims as heir through Captain
Levi Thayer, who purchased portion
of the tract from Jonathan Carver by
deed. President Monroe, on April %,
1922, sent message to congress re-
garding the claim of Carver about the
falls of st. Anthony, and three years
later the committee on private land
claims of the house made an adverse
report. The grant, according to papers
filed, was made by two chiefs of the
tribe on May l, 1867.

RUSSIA xPoRrne wne4T.
The Shortage Evidently Not So Great
For+ig" trops.


For.ign trops.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE agricul.
tural department has issued its NOM hly
review of the foreign crop situation.
Much attention is devoted to the grain
crop of Russia. especially wheat, on ac-
count Of its magnitude as factor in
the European supply. After quoting
many dispatches, painting the crop
situation In various provinces in very
black colors and the statements of our
consul at Odessa that this years crop
has proved a failure, the review calls
attention to the fact that since harvest
Russia has exported grain very
freely"
1t is generally understood that Rus
STA had large stocks of wheat left over
from the crops of the preceding year,
and this fact, coupled with the good
prices which have prevailed, may ac-
count for the large exports which have
taken place, even though the crop fail
ure in large parts of Russia has been
extremely serious.
The preliminary official figures for
France show reduction of 26 per cent
below 1896 and II per cent below the
average for ten years. AS for five years
France and Russia produced 26 per
cent of the worlds crop the review says
heavy shortage in both countries
would, therefore, be sufficient in itself
to produce very sensible effect on
the worlds pply, Independent of the
short crops in Austria Hungary, the
Danubian and Balkan countries and
elsewhere and the shortness of the last
crop in India, Australasia and Argen-
tina.
In Germany, rye, which is the prin-
clpal bread grain of that country. is
officially estimated at 4 per cent less
than last years crop. The various esti-
mates for Austria Hungary are more
or less conflicting but there is no
doubt as to there being a heavy deficit
in the wheat crop.
The wheat crop of the United King
dom is estimated at so, 700,O 900 bushels.
The preliminary estimate of the
Italian wheat crop makes in 5,131 900
bushels, against IA, 722.700 bushels
last year. The Roumanian wheat crop
is estimated at $37, 1874, 720 bushels.
The Bulgarian wheat crop is estimated
40 per cent, rye at 35 to 40 per cent and
barley at % per cent less than last year.
The wheat crop of Turkey has been
estimated at 50,800,000 imperial bush
els.
AS regards crops now growing in the
southern hemisphere, the news con-
tinues to be favorable ON the whole.

"Rs. < rcHAM's DEMAND.

She succeeded In Having Inquest Over
Her Husbands BODY Hurried.
CHICAGO, sov. II There was dra-
matic scene while the enquiry into the
death of John B. Ketcham was in prog
ress at the Indiana avenue home of
Mrs. Mabel Estella Wallace who claims
to be his widow. But two witnesses
had been examined by the deputy coro
Der and statement of the two attend
ing physicians submitted when it was
announced that, owing to the inability
of the chemist to complete the analy-
Sis OF e stomach of the deceased, the
inquest would be a. journed for a
week. Ghis brought Mrs. Wallace to
her feet in an instant. She demanded
an immediate inv estigation, which was
granted the case being continued until
Friday.
Mr.. Ketcham will be buried in the
family lot at Toledo. What promised
TO be difficulty between Mrs Wallace
and his relatives has been averted
Mrs. Wallace turned her alleged hus-
bands body over to his brother, George
H. Ketnham, who left with it for
Toledo \ funeral service was held at
Mrs. Wallace's residence, on Indiana
avenue. by Or. Burch, pastor of the
Soath Park Avenue Methodist church
Within half dozen days the will of
Mr.. x etcham will be filed for probate
and it is intimated that the contest
which this step will undoubtedly pro-
duce may lead to one of the hardest
legal battles ever waged in the courts,
though the stakes are not so high as
they have been in more notable cases.
At the coroner's inquest George H.
J Atcbam eVincn0 great Decentralization,
in his evidence to admit that the dead
man had a lawful wife living at the
time of death. He limited at some
weakness of mind. Efforts will be
made to show, so il is stated, that
kescham was unduly Influenced at the
time OF drawing the will two weeks
ago. by the terms of which his whole
property was given to Mrs. Ketcham or
Wallace.

The position of Col. Watterson so
far as Kentucky is concerned, is very
much like that of the non committal
witness in the Texas murder case. All
this gentleman was doing on the day
OF the killing was, in his own Ian
guage, 'a-taking of a few drinks, a.
smoking of few seegars, a-eating of
few sardines and romancing around. y
Whatever may happen in Kentucky
in the future, Col Watterson will be
found in the role Of the irresistible
bystander, provided he doesn't change
his mind.

ATLANTA, Nov. 1.-THE fight in the
Atlanta postoffice between Major J. M.
Copper. the present assistant, and
Major W. Fl. Smyth, the new post
master, is growing very warm. When
Major Smyth took charge of his office
he went to Major Copper and demanded
that he turn over his position to Mr.. r.
f. Blodgett, whom the latter had ap
pointed in his place. Major Couper
strenuously refused to accede to Major
Smyth's demands and went before
Judge Newman and received a restrain
ing order against the new postmaster.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE appeal
of Major Copper of Atlanta from his
removal as assistant postmaster by
Major Smyth has reached here. The
.lvll service commission, however, can
see no relief for the action, for an
amendment to the civil service rules
made by President Mckinley on July
~ last excerpts one assistant postmaster
or chief assistant to the postmaster of
whatever designation at each postoffice
from the civil service requirements for
examination or registration before the
commission. Chairman Proctor of the
commission stated that under this rule
there was no action the commission
could take in the matter and the dis
cretion thus given the postmaster was
only restricted by forbidding removals
for political phrpose. If the 20 E

AS a peace measure, Secretary
Aiger wants two more regiments of
artillery. What is the matter with
Gen. Alger? We will admit that
the new coast defenses require that
additional force to man them; but
he should remember that the i'm
memorial policy of this Government
has been to give it's coast defenses
one sergeant apiece, and then to let
them rot until a new appropriation
should be necessary. These limo
waiting ideas of our war minister will
make him unpopular in the back
