THE DEBT- -SETTLENENT.

The Arkansas House of Reprtsan- tatives on Friday passed the Sen ate concurrent resolution approving the compromise settlement between the State of Arkansas and the Fed eral Government.
 The Legislature of 1895 passed q concurrent resolution ratifying the settlement made between Governor Clarke and Secretaries Carlisle and Boke Smith of the differences exist ing between the State and the National Government, but did not reach Congress in time for action before the adioprnmeat q that body, Al \ the next term of Congress, how, eyer, the first tsfm 9t the present ....,l, the agreement between 'he :, State and National Government was l ratified by the Senate, but when 1t reached the House an amendment was adopted to it, now known as the Meiklejohn amendmont which provided that tt4e agreement should ratif,, tho title to about 273, ,ooo nepas nf Arkansas lands which the State claims was once granted to ,he State of Arkansas, under the swamp land grant, but which was subsequently, patented by the National Government to the Iron Mountain railway. This blocked further proceedings, aHd the matter now depends for settlement upon the action of the Arkansas hegisla- ture. The situation is very briefly and correctly stated by the Fort Smith Esoatof as follows:
 Tn 1888 the State issaed g ,000, GOO tn bonds to aid wildcat enterprise known as the Real Estate Bank. Congress invested, as trustee of a Chickasaw fund and the Smithsoni- an Institute fund, S63l ,000 in these
 
 bonds. From that day until the present time not dollar has the State paid on either the principal or the interest of these bonds. This would amount, at the pressnt time ct about 8, 763, ,000 To offset this Congress has sequestered the , pel cent. proceeds of the public lands il the State granted by the act O 1886 and applied it to the paymen of interest on the bonds. When tn, war began there had been applied thus about Sl50,00 and since tha time $55, GOO has accumulated iron our share of governmentlands in thu State. In the compromise brough about by Gov. Clarke and ratified by the Legislature two years ago the State was allowed $1, ,396, ll5 fo 7l6, ,110 acres of land charged agains the government. For some of thl

the government allowed $5 per acre, for some it allowed S125 per acre. These amounts subtracted from the States debt to the government leaves us behind but little more than $160, ,000
 The claines of the Iron Mountain road came about 5n this way In 1850 Congress granted to the State all the swamp aBd overfloWed land within her borders. The State pro eeeded to select She land indicated, aud while most of the plats selected were approved by the Secretary of Interior, a portion of them were re- jected. It is said the State was satisfied with the Secretary's de eision.
 In 1855 Congress granted, through the State, alternate sections of land, in q strip twelve miles wide, from Galro. H., to Fulton, on Red River, Ark, to the Cairo x Fulton Rail road, now the Iron Noun tain. The selections made by the railroad were approved by the Secretary of the Interior, with but few exceptions, and the railroad received patents for them. Several years later the State laid claim to part of the land upon the ground that it had been wrongfully patented according to a previous act. An appeal to the Secretary of the Interior was re- lected.
 The trouble arose from the act of 1853, and the matter has rested thus ever since. The State, while e'aim ing the lands in question, long ago acceded to the railroad S ! ,!aln of ownership and for more | llhllan an. twenty years has been collect | ing taxes from them 1
 From the above it would seem hat the Iron Mountain raiI@ar ;s lot without tie color ot title +o tbo ands in question. oder the agreement reached nv Secretaries Carlisle and smit'4 with the then Governor, noTt ex-Governor Clarke, an indebfsedness of the State aggre- gdting g, ,763, GOO is to be liquidated by the payment of only $16o, GOO. This, from appearances, seems a very profitable settlement for the State Of Arkansas, but in conse- quence of the prejudice existing among certain politicians against the Iron Mountain Railway whose Interests are involved, the indiea- tiuhs are that tha whole settlement will end h | iniserable fasco, Gov. Dan 5'3nes, in apparent defiance of the interests and credit of the State, and against the advice of Senators Jones and Berry and the entire Arkansas delegation in Congress emphatically says that he will veto the resolution passed by both branches of the Legislature approv- ing the settlement.
 Thus Arkansas indebtedness from
 which there is no honorable escape, promises to go on indefinitely, ac-
 cumulatiug interest upon interest
 to the prejudice of the people ans
 the reputation and credit of 8At State.

Freight Depot Is moved.

Contractor Jesse Butler has com pleted
vthe Job OF moving the old Red Jacket de-
pot to it's new site at the foot of Port
land street and the building was put in
place Yesterday. Although the time it
took to move the building was consider
able more than it was thought would be
necessary when the job was commenced,
still the work was pushed as hard as it
could be under the circumstances as Mr.
Butler had rather clumsy job on his
hands. The building is 80 large and
long that the greatest difficulty in moy-
ing it was in getting around the corner
at the foot OF Oak street where there was
very little room TO turn.
The freight offices which have been
used in the passenger depot since the
other depot has been on the move will be
transferred TO the old depot shortly
probably inside OF a week or ten days,
as soon as things get Strengthened out

Costs Paul PlOuff the
Small Amount
of $l6.75.
He kicked Henry Ii. Taylor
An Agent for Gately a Co., who
Promptly swOre Out "A Warrant
for His Arrest.

There was an interesting jury trial IL
Judge Curtis court yesterday afternoon
when the case OF Paul Plouff, who was
arrested on the charge of assault and
battery preferred by Henry b. Taylor
came up for action. The trial resulted
in the conviction OF Plouff on the charge
by the jury,
Attorney A. L. Streeter appeared for
the People and the defendant pleaded his
own case, he having at first made ar
arrangements with an attorney to look
after the case, but the latter refused to
have anything further to do with the
matter when Plouff came TO court some
what under the influence oil liquor.
The complaining witness, it appears, is
AN agent for Gately & Co., and went into
Plouff's house some time ago to attempt
to sell him something or other, On en-
tering the house he found Mrs. Plouff in
the kitchen and Immediately began tell
ing her of his bargains, but she did not
want anything and called her husband
from the next room. Plouff was equally
sure that they did not want to make
any purchases and told Mr.. Taylor, in
not the most polite language in the
world, to get out of the house. As he
stood on the doorstep, so Mr.. Plouff
alleges, he and Mr.. Taylor had some
words, and he claims that Taylor caught
him by the coat Thereupon Plouff
kicked Taylor from the place and not
only wounded the latter's feelings, but
his anatomy, in various places.
Taylor thought discretion the better
part of valor and rather than take
Plouff he consulted the law in the matter
and got out a warrant for his arrest.
Plouff pleaded not guilty to the charge
and demanded jury trial. There were
but few witnesses examined, but there
was considerable argument over the mat
ter.
However, when the matter was given
1nto the hands of the Jury it did not take
them long to decided and they promptly
returned verdict OF guilty as charged.
Ills honor imposed fine OF So, but the
fine and costs came to $16.75, which
Plouff paid with considerable reluctance.
