STATE LAND OFFICE.
In the opinion Of the present Attorney.
General (which officer is my legal adviser)
that the land embraced in each and every
contract for State land on which either the
principal or interest is not paid when
due Immediately and Internationally" re.
reverts to the State, under the terms Of the
contract and in accordance with the pro.
visions of Section s Of lthe General Land
Law. He is Of the opinion that each aud
every contract on which the annual interest
is not paid when due becomes null and void
by operation Of law, independent of any
action that is taken or attempted by the
State Land Register; that receiving and GER
tifying an overdue interest payment does
not renew the contract, and that renting
overdue interest is useless expense on the
part Of the contractor. | shall therefore re-
fuse to certify any overdue interest pay.
'ment until my duty to do so shall have been
clearly defined by competent court.

Fire destroyed property on 5th avenue
Pittsburg, last night valued at about $780,
0OO Insurance probably two-thirds. Four
alarms were turned in. and for a time the
entire block was in great danger. The
buildings destroyed were S12 and S14, owned
by the Rook estate and occupied by Taylor
Brothers. furniture and $40. occupied by H.
Rosenthal and A. Cohen, wholesale pants
dealers. The Taylor Brothers loss Is in the
neighborhood of $4,000, and the clothing
firms will lose about an equal amount. The
actual loss on the buildings cannot be de-
termined. but conservative estimates place
1t at $4,000. Peter Lohnes saloon and
residence Is next door to the Taylor build
ing, and took fire several times, and Mr.
Lohnes. who is sick, had to be carried
from the building. 1t is feared the ex-
posure and shock will cost his life.

TRUSTS INVESTIGATION.
The American Tobacco Company to
Give Testimony.

Before the members of the Joint COM
mittee investigating trusts in New York
separated yesterday Chairman Lexow said
TO them that if they could SO arrange their
affairs he would like to have them sit all
next week, when an investigation of the
American Tobacco Company will be made.
The subpoena receivers have had some
trouble in reaching the officials of the
tobacco Ct mpany for the reason that most
Of them are out of the city, and they re-
port that only one official, George Arents,
treasurer, has been served. This has
given rise to various runnors to the effect
that the members. were frightend into
avoiding the committee by leaving the city,
and that the company had moved it's books
to New Jersey.
Chairman Lexow, when asked II he had
heard these rumors, said that he had but
that he assumed that the books were still
within the jurisdiction of the committee
TIE company has office in New Jersey
well as in New York.
James u. Duke. president of the COM
pSpy, was reported as at his home in Som

rope. Beyond the proposed investigation
of the tobacco company by next week the
