LAND COURT TRANSACTIONS
Interesting Facts CLEANED from An
nual Report Of Attorney of Court
to Attorney General

The annual report of the attorneys for
the United States court of private land
claims. covering the period from Sep
TENDER 5, 1896, date of last report), to
October S, 1897, has been completed and
forwarded to the attorney general at
Washington.
From this interesting and voluminous
document, showing in detail the transac-
tions of the United States land court dur
ing the last ID months, the New MEXICAN
has been permitted to CLEAN facts of gen
eral interest.
The number of cases disposed of dur
ing the period just mentioned was 81.
Some of these we're petitions for the CON
firmation of the same grant. The num-
Der of separate grants passed upon was
AZ. The total area claimed In the grants
thus disposed of was 2,912,455 acres; an
area of 1881 acres were confirmed, and
2,434,49 acres were rejected.
During the period covered by the re-
port II surveys of confirmed grants were
passed upon by the court; seven of these,
embracing 157 1881 acres, were approved;
the remaining five were ordered resur-
veyed.
The cases yet remaining for trial in the
Santa Fe district, which includes New
Mexico and Colorado, number IS, in
which Is grants are claimed.
The area of AZ of these untried grants
is 1888. 3l6 acres; there is no data as to
the acreage of the remaining 28 grants
but it is safe to say that the total acreage
of the untried grants in the Santa Fe dis
triots is over 100000 acres.
There are seven untried cases in the
Arizona district, involving seven grants
with total area of 319,657 acres.
The law officers of this court, from
whom the above mentioned report ema'
mates are Hon. Matt G.. Reynolds, United
States attorney, and Mr.. W. Il. Pope, as
sistant United States attorney.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
Santa Fe, N. NJ, October y, 1897.
Whereas, At the November term, A. D..
1896, of the District court of the Third
judicial district held within and for the
county of Grant, Henry Daniels was tried
and convicted and sentenced to be hanged,
for the murder of one Lafayette Fox,
which sentence has not yet been executed;
and
Whereas, A large number Of citizens
have petitloned for the Communication of
his punishment to that of imprisonment
for life; while other citizens have pro.
tested against so committing his sentence
and
Whereas, After a careful and extended
examination of the matter, and particu-
arly the evidence of the dying deolara-
ton of one Andrew Williams (who was
mortally wounded by the same shot that
killed the said Fox regarding the facts
leading up to the firing of said shot, and
the object and intent of firing the same,
and which said declaration was not pro-
duced on the trial, entertain grave
doubts as to whether the said shot was
fired with premedltated intent to kill and
wound any person, or merely to brighten
them, in pursuance of an arrangement
previously made between the said Henry
Daniels and the said Andrew Williams;
and,
Whereas, to commute said sentence, as
petitioned for, would be still visiting the
said convict with punishment scarcely
less severe, than that awarded by the
court;
Now, therefore, I, Miguel A. Otero,
governor of the territory of New Mexico,
by virtue of the authority in me vested,
do hereby commute the said sentence of
the said Henry Daniels to life imprison
ment at hard labor, and do direct that he
be taken from his present place of con
fnement, by the sheriff of the county Of
Grant to the territorial penitentiary al
Santa Fe, N. NJ, and be therein confined
at hard labor during the period of his
natural life.
| Done at the executive Office this, the

they believe, ruined the Democratic
party. However, politicians as a rule
are very forgiving. They are men OF
the world, and cannot afford to spend
their time revenging their grievances.
Regarding the value of prophecy, 1t
| is noted that in an interview in the
Washington Post, Capt. Julius Palmer
declared that President Mckinley
would not sign any annexation treaty
with Hawaii At the moment he made
this solemn declaration, the treaty had
been engrossed, and would have been
signed, if all of the parties had been
present.
The signing of the new treaty is
received with great favor by the
friendly press. Even the Washington
Post that has strongly opposed annex
alton has rousing article favoring
annexation.
The most impartial observer notices
that bitter feeling towards annexation
is confined to only one or two Sen
ators The old school Democrats say
they must have time to think over the
matter. These may, in the end, say,
we are in some doubt, but if the Sen
ate is willing to take the chances, we
will not oppose" The friendly press
seems to believe that the subject will
go over until next winter, but that the
feeling for passing the treaty will in
crease in the mean time.
At the present writing, no decisive
action has been taken by Senators
friendly to the treaty. If the Admin
istration believes that the Senate will
act promptly, it will push it. Other
wise it will let it go over But the
opinion is growing that nothing will
be done during the present session.
It may be said that the Cabinet was
not entirely clear on the question of
negotiating the treaty at the present
time. or of delaying the subject until
winter 1t has, however, been DONE
and all that remains now is, to see
that it is carefully considered by the
men who must pass upon it.

The first commencement of the Ka-

Kaumakapili Church last night before
an audience of something like 1000
people, the largest number ever gath
cred together in the native place of
worship. This very generous atten-
dance showed the interest that the peo-
pie of Honolulu have in the work that
is being done by Miss Pope and her
corps of worthy assistants.

Tried 10 Assist the Old Lady, hut
Efforts Not Appreciated.
AS Broadway car stopped on the
south side of the square an aged wo
man stepped aboard. She was plainly,
but comfortably dressed, and the
style of her garments proclaimed her a
foreigner. The car was only partially
filled as she stepped aboard, and yet
she deliberately sought a place among
the smokers ON one of the three rear
seats. The conductor, concluding she
was taking the seat through ignorance,
ran to her and caught her arm.
Then this dialogue ensued:
Conductor-Takeo one of the front
seats, madam. These are reserved for
the smokers.
Old Lady, mildly-Br-r.r-zeet -swi
obrararu.
Conductor-I say, these seats are
for the smokers-ladies don't sit here.
Old Lady, earnestly-Ski-toorarur-
bzz-zingtum-burow.
Conductor, raising his voice-Smoke
pipes, puff, cigars, tobak. Choky, smo-
ky.
Old Lady, smiling-Pesky hooparoo-
ali bazinctum-bosh.
Conductor, looking around-Say,
does anybody aboard this car under
stand this blamed lingo?
No response from the passengers.
Conductor, loudly-Ladies don't sit
here. They take front seats; don't you
understand? These seats are for smo-
kers-men who smoke-whew! whewl
Conductor here initiates a mans
sneezing and choking.
Old lady smiles, but resolutely re-
fuses to leave her seat.
Conductor-Say, will you take a
front seat?
Old Lady, with much dignity-Say,
volts de madden NIT you?
Conductor falls back aghast and
4 says no more.
Old Lady thereupon reaches among
the back breadths of her skirt and
pulling out short black pipe and a
match proceeds to enjoy comfortable
smoke.

He didn't come into into the Office.
He just poked his head through the
half-opened door, as if fearful that he
might get into trouble, and asked:
"Want any typewriter supplies?"
"Why, yes; come in" said the man
in the Office.
The man in the doorway promptly
entered, while the man in the Office
leaned back in his chair and looked at
the ceiling in dreamy sort of way.

feet four inches, if you have one in
stock. The machine appears to have
everything else that it requires"
The typewriter supply man waited
until he got out doors before he spoke.
He feared he couldn't do justice to the
subject in cramped quarters.
