laturc adjourned sine die ut o'clock
this morning. The last hour OF this
luw-making body was rough and
tumble farce. The chamber of fcprc-
scn,ntivcs was In an uproar. Paper
balls. pastcbonrd boxes. books and
even market baskets were used ut the
game OF pitch and toss. \ couple OF
facctious members broke up the tops
OF their desks and, with pieces. pound
cd the remnants. While all this was
going on Charles Il. Sciby. who was In
the chair. complained OF the undigni.
fled conduct OF n couple OF members
who had put on their hats.

one side or the other. and nobody but
the clerk knew they we're recorded.
Bills were passed. and nobody but the
speaker and the clerk knew the bills
by number. to say nothing OF knowing
them by title. The Senate was equally
djsordcrly and personal encounters
were narrowly nvcrtcd In many In
stances.

tionmcnt bill. introduced by the So
called "machinc.' aud over which u
bitter fight has been wngcd. was abnn-
doncd In the final hour OF the Lccisln-

that the defeat OF the revenue bills

result In such action.

santa Fe, N. NJ, June 4,-The full
IeAt OF the United States Supreme
Sourt decision in the case of the Cana
aa De Cochiti grant, forty miles west
" santa Fe, involving a claim for
int'oo4.24 acres Of land by Joel p.
Whitney OF Boston and others, was re-
ceiVed from Washington to-day by the
court OF Private Land Claims, The de.
clsion OF the latter court as respects the
north; east and south boundaries of the
grant claim is affirmed in an elaborate
OPINION by Justice Brown. Touching
lne western boundary only the case is
remanded to the land court for further
proceedings, the Supreme Court hold
ing that it should be located Mt the
nearest Sierra De Jemez west of the
Sochiti table land, but explicitly stat
ing tnat 1t shall not go westward far
enough to encroach upon the .Jemez
whey nor cross the river by that name.
Inc supreme Court holds that the
grant called "En La Mesa De Cochiti"-
IN or upon the table land of Cochiti-is
suf1cient to identify the description Of
the lands intended to be granted with
great certainty; that the Cochiti III

Intended n wholly different pueblo. sit
uated seven miles to the northeast of
the other as the northern boundary of
the grant be pctitioned for. That Lu-
cerO did not intend to claim an extern
sive grant Is also evident from his eX-
press purpose" to sow thereon and to
cultivate on said piece OF land ten fcne-
gas OF wheat and two of corn and to
pasture my stock Of small cattle
Sheep and horses. The twelve fcne-
gas called for. says the court. would be
about thirty-three acres under any
method OF discriminating what a fenc-
ga was intended to represent. 1t
would seem that 5000 acres of land, IL
any of 1t were cultivated. would be
amply sufficient. willie thc,1Oi 600 acres
claimed would be out OF proportion to
the calls of the grant.
AS a result of this decision all the
rich mineral belt In the Cochiti mining
district. chiefly owned by Colorado
men. is left outside the grant lines and
upon the public domain five miles
north of the northern boundary OF the
grant. There IL much rejoicing here
over the facts that the supreme Courts
decision In no wise intcrfcrcs with the
ruling OF the land court as regards the
location OF the northern boundary OF
the grant.

London, June At Is officially stated
that Count Muravicfr. the Russian for.
eign minister, has expressed to the
Greek minister Mt st. Petersburg his
personal sympathy ana his hope that
Greece will be able to save the harvest
OF Thcssaly.
II IL also understood that Germany
now advocates the evacuation OF Thes-
sally. provided Greece gives n satisfac-
tory guarantee OF payment OF the In
dcmnity.
But there is still every Indication that
Turkey means TO remain In Thcssaly.
Several Turkish officials. accompanied
by their harcms. have arrived In Thcs.
sally from Consiantinoplc.
Edhcm Pasha has ordered grannrics
to be prepared for the storage of the
harvest. and is using every induccmcnt
TO get the peasants 10 return and nc.
ccpt Turkish rule.
The powers have advised Greece to
accept Turkeys demand to raise the
blockade. Greece. In turn. insists upon
some guarantee that Turkey will keep
her promise not to land munitions OF
war. II Is therefore still uncertain
whether the armistlcc difficulty will be
settled.
1t is reported from Constantinople
that the peace prcliminarics have been
agreed TO. hut this probably means that
the ambassadors have been invited to
submit drafts OF details.

whistler by hitting him with brick.
and Is held for assault and battery. Tho
outcome that would please the great

equitable balancing of the injury done
en- each side. Probably the assault
with brick was greater injury than
the assault with offensive sounds. but
there was undeniable provocation.
There is no harm in wh!stiing while
