HOMESTEAD LAND
Millions Of Acres Open But None Very
Good

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-The
business of the United States Land Of
flee here last year was the largest for
any year since 1892. The receipts were
nearly $4,000 for the twelve months
ending with December. This includes
the fees on original entries as we'll as on
final proof of claims. Most of the origi-
nal entries in 1897 were from Monterey
county. Mendocino was next in order
and San Luis Obispo county third.
There are in the San Francisco dis
trict about 100000 acres of land un-
claimed and open to entry. Very little of
it is classed as mineral. Last year there
were but two mineral entries. One was
located in Contra Costa county and the
other in Sonoma. In both instances the
mineral was cinnabar.
OF the land opened to entry nearly a
million acres lie in Monterey county.
Mendocino county has about 10000
acres. The Register says much Of this
land is yet unsurveyed. The office has
no information to give as to the charac-
ter Of any of this land, but it is gen.
orally understood that very little of it is
level or valley land, suited to farming
Much of it, however, is available for
grazing and good deal of it has val
liable redwood timber, at present almost
inaccessible. This timber land is in Men,
docino county.

SENSIBLE SALVADOR

NEW YORK, March 5.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Panama says: A dis
patch has been received here from San
Salvador which shows that Salvador has
given Nicaragua clearly to understand
that she will not support the latter gov
ernment in a war with Costa Rica. This
vador to the Diet of the Greater Repub-
lie of Central America:
After giving due consideration to
your message of February II and re-
garding the question pending as being
Of very serious moment, this govern
ment deems fit to inform you that they
are Of the belief that all peaceful means
have been exhausted to avert war be-
tween Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and
that it is indispensable that the Diet
employ all diplomatic measures to avert
a war which would cast a stain on the
good name which Central America yet
enjoys among other civilized nations.
For the reasons also to preserve
peace in those countries at all hazards
in the name of the Salvadorean people
and for the sacred interests Of the Cen
tral American Isthmus, this govern
ment. Salvador, asks the honorable Diet
to renew its conciliatory negotiations
with the view Of preventing a war in
which 1t could not take part on account
Of its firm resolve never to take up arms
against a sister republic.

AN INVOLVEMENT BIRD
Too Much for One and Not Enough
for Two

In the days before the war" a family
of hardworking people lived in border
county Of Mississippi Their home was
situated on the big road which led
from Alabama northward into Missis-
sippi They did not keep tavern but
they often fed the wayfarer.
One Saturday the housewife roasted
large turkey, baked a batch of bread,
and made a number of pies. She was
ready for her Sunday dinner, and ex-
pected to go to church the next day; the
services were held number of miles
away.
After 2 o'clock that Saturday after
noon a single horseman appeared. lie
asked for his dinner and fed his horse
in the ample stable of the farmer. The
housekeeper was busy and the man in
haste, so she set the turkey before him,
thinking that he would not make much
of an impression upon it.
The stranger sat down in front of the
turkey and set to work. He cut into the
breast on one side and ate it all. His
appetite was only whetted. He demol-
ished the wing and then cut off the leg.
| The drumstick disappeared, and the up
per Joint was stripped. The woman
stood aghast. She pattered out to the
| back poarch where her pies were cool
ing, and, selecting tempting apple pie
| set it before her guest. He put 1t to
one side and turned the untouched side
of the turkey toward him. He cut off
the wing and the leg. The woman saw
her Sunday dinner disappear before her
eyes.
At length having exposed all the bones
of the large fowl, he attacked the pie
and left not a crumb.
! The woman sank into chair near by.
She was too much overcome for a mo-
ment to speak. Then she said:
"You seem to have enjoyed the turkey.
There is not so much left as expected"
! She could say no more. She felt
that words were Inadequate to the oc-
casion
The man pushed back his chair, took
out his quill toothpick, crossed his knees
and sighed with satisfaction. Then he
| spoke:
"Well, madam" said, he. "the turkey
I is a very inconvenient bird"
! He fell to Illuminating. His counte-
nance expressed the benevolence which
q good dinner is apt to produce in a
man.
The woman waited for him to explain
but he was silent. Then she said:
"Why is the turkey inconvenient?"
"Well, madam, it is little too much
for one, and not quite enough for two,
replied her guest.
The woman fainted.-St Louis Re-

The belated advent Of the winter Is

Of British statesmen. In addition to the
Marquis of Salisbury, Mr.. Joseph Cham

At Tattersalls s on Monday twenty-five
horses described as prize-winners at the
recent horse shows In Chicago and Mad
ison Square Garden, New York, were
sold at auction. They averaged 56 gum
cas- (about $29D, which is considered a
low price.
The st. James Gazette, commenting
upon the sale, says: "The experiment
of sending recruits for Rotten Row Is not
likely to be repeated. The horses were
not of the proper stamp. New York
prize does not carry an equal recon-
mendation with the English. Here the
shows are strictly business. At Madison
Square Garden they are merely society
functions"
Scientists are excited over the authen-
tfcated discovery of the tomb of Osiris
the chief god of the Egyptians and
brother consort Of Isis at Luxor, a viii
lage of Upper Egypt, built on the site OF
Thebes.
[ The news was first received with in
credulity, but all doubts were quieted
by telegram from the director-general
OF excavations to the President of the
Egyptian Council Of Ministers.
The discovery was made by M. Ame-
lineau, who, In letter, also affirms DOS
itively, that he has discovered that the
tomb of the gods Seth and Horus are In
the same metropolis at Abydos.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "There
is no doubt this is great discovery.

service in case of need. The terms OF
the subsidy act which was passed several
years ago appear to be designed to Sc
cure the creation of class of vessels
built under the American flag, available
for the rapid and safe carriage of the
United States mails, firstly; and sec
ondly, available for transformation, in
case of need, into auxiliary cruisers for
the Navy Ever since the passage of
that act the Navy Department has had
officials at work inspecting merchant
vessels either in their primary stages of
construction or after completion, when
their owners sought to take advantage
of the act and claim subsidy for their
ships. Many vessels have been so in
spected and the naval officers have re-
ported as to their fitness or unfitness for
naval service. Lieutenant Kelley Is now
in charge of that particular branch of
the Navy and has been prosecuting it
with diligence. Without the slightest
doubt the public excitement of the last
few weeks induced a number of vessel
owners who have never before sought to
take advantage of the subsidy act, to
submit their ships to the Navy Depart
ment for examination now, and this has
resulted in unusual activity on the part
of the inspecting officers.
SIGNING SEAMEN
VALLEJO, CAL, May 5.-Admiral
Kirkland has received telegraphic orders
to instruct Captain Louis Kempff of the

the able bodied seamen he can possibly

The Charleston, Yorktown and Phila-
delphia are the best ships now here, but
little work is being done on them at pres
ent. Admiral Kirkland says that he can
prepare these vessels for sea within six
weeks. There are 500 men employed in
the construction department and orders
have been issued for the employment OF
additional labor.

ANNEXATION
Senate Committeeman Fail to Agree

~~~ ~ - SG A"AA
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations
held two hours sitting Today in an
effort to decide upon what course to pur-
sue with reference to the Hawaiian an
nexation treaty. When the committee
adjourned, the members refused to give
out any information to the press, saying
that all present had pledged themselves
to absolute secrecy. It was learned
through other Senators, however, that
the committee had under consideration
the advisabiity of taking up the ques-
ton of annexation in the way of legisla-
tion, rather than by means of ratifying
that treaty and that they had decided
not to abandon the treaty at least i'm
mediately, but to press it's consideration
upon the Senate at the first opportunity.
They declined to say even to Senators
what might be their course later, con-
fining themselves to the declaration that
they would seek to have the Senate go
into executive session again for the con-
| sideration Of the treaty as soon as the
appropriation bills can be gotten out Of
