QUARANTINE OF AMERICAN II HoRsEs
Action of German Government Criticised
At Washing ton-Expert's Statement.

Washington, Feb. 4.-When the cable
dispatch from Berlin as to the pros
pective quarantine of American horses
was shown to Chairman Hit of the
house foreign affairs committee he said
this move was clearly part of a gen.
erai movement toward exclusion shown
by the recent action against American
fruit. His colleague on the foreign af-
fairs committee, Mr.. Adams of Penn
sylvania, said the dispatch suggested
that it was time to discover a bac-
terra in German wines and it would
be desirable also to determine as to
the purity Of the sugar sent to the
United States.
Chairman Dingley of the ways and
means committee said this was in line
with the German action on American
fruit A quarantine was not an abso-
lutte prohibition, however, Mr.. Dingley
said, and it remained to be seen wheth-
er a quarantine 50 vigorous as to be a
prohibition would be put in force. The
officials of the agricultural department
emphatically discredit the probability
of American horses carrying the influ-
enza into Germany and say that If
they do develop it after importation it
is contracted from animals in that
country. The statements of the Ger
man minister of agriculture, Secretary
Wilson says, are unwarranted.
DR.. Salmon, the chief of the bureau
of animal industry, said when his at
tention was called to the dispatch:
UCo for &c tIa dana aJtment Of q aoriclllt =
ure is aware there is no influenza prev
alent in this country. 1t is a disease
common to horses and possibly may be
present in places of which we have no
information, but this is improbable, be-
cause news of this character would
promptly reach the department. The
horses which are exported are not in
spected, but if an animal has the dis
ease 1t will recover or die before the
trans s-Atlantic journey Is made"

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND WINS
AWARDED RIGHT TO PURCHASE
10000 ACRES OF LAND.

1t is Located in the St. Cloud and Marshal
Land Districts in Minnesota--The Pre-
late Interested in a Colonization Scheme
Settlers on the Land and They Will be
Fully Protected.
Washington, Feb. 4.-Commissioner
Hermann of the general land office to-
day decided the case of Archbishop
John Ireland involving the right to
about 10000 acres of land in the st.
Cloud and Marshal land districts, Min
nesota. With a view to colonization
and other purposes the archbishop en-
tered into two contracts with the st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Rail-
way company, within whose limits the
land lay, for it's disposition. These
contracts were dated July II, 1880, and
March 80, 1888
Subsequently it was determined that
the land was not properly conveyable
to the railroad and the question arose
whether the archbishop under the
dSISeiHulS With the company COulu pc
come the purchaser of the lands on
which many persons had settled. The
commissioner decides that under the
agreement of $780, in which about 5000
acres are involved, the archbishop can
not become the purchaser, as he was
simply the agent of the company In dis
posing of the lands, for which he re-
ceived a commission.
The settlers now on these lands can
acquire patent under the land laws at
the price of s1.25 per acre or under GER
tain conditions may take out home
stead rights. Under the agreement of
1883 the commissioner decides the arch
bishop has the right to purchase the
lands. These he will have to pay for
at the rate of $3.50 per acre. Many
persons have settled also on these
lands under arrangements with the
archbishop. In the first case, there
fore, the decision is against the arch
bishop, and in the second, for him, al
though in both cases the settlers will
be protected. The archbishop has the
right of appeal from this decision to
the secretary of the interior.

Likely That Formerly Accused Murderer

Middletown, Feb 4.-The much dis
cussed appearance of Herman Sachse
in the fistic arena is probably an as
sured fact, as Manager Walsh ex-
presses confidence that he will go on
with Herman Tobias of Hartford in
one of the bouts arranged by the Mid
dlesex Athletic club, to take place here
on the night of February 25. Sachse's
notoriety is expected to draw large
attendance, but the unfavorable man
ner in which the announcement of his
public appearance was first received,
caused the management to hesitate in
carrying out their plans. A represen-
tative of Manager Walsh went to New
York, where Sachse is stopping, a few
days ago, and arranged for his ap-
pearance.

Forty-six wounds on thirty-nine men
