cision of Land Commissioner Lamor-

holders to property on the Chicago lake
shore, valued at from S20.O00,000 to
) 10000, 900. Mr.. Lamoreux admits
that he has been guilty of the grave
improperly of having given ont a copy
of the opinion in advance Of its Off
cial PRONUNCIATION. Secretary Francis,
Mr.. Bliss predecessor, ordered that
judgment in the ease should be sus-
pended until the further order Of the
department. The department has now
made an order that the case be tried
over again.
There are some queer things about
this transaction. The Secretary of the
Interior was informed that no deci-
sion in the case had been rendered.
No record of it was found in the proper
office, nor Is there a copy of 1t in the
letter-press book. where such opinions
are usually copied. The commissioner
says that he signed the opinion Feb. 20.
and had a number of copies made,
which Were to be given to the press
Feb. %, one Of which copies he gave To
"a party" which he was to use after
Feb. %. when the decision was 10 be
promulgated. But Secretary Francis
issued his order ~suspending promulga-
ton Feb. 22. 1t is further said that
the decision is a direct reversal OF one
made by the Commissioner last August
in another case.
1t is well that the whole proceed
ing should be thoroughly investigated.
