ALASKA HOMESTEAD LAWS.
The Lacey Bill Favorably Reported
to the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-the Lacey
bill extending the homestead laws to
Alaska and granting the right of way to
railroads was favorabiy reported to the
House to-day from the Public Lands
Committee. The bill has been changed
so as to extend the amount Of right of
way along lines, giving land for juno
tons az well as terminals, and reserv-
ing mineral deposits in rights of way to
the United States; also, so as to require
railroads to file preliminary plans based
on actual surveys giving rights for one
year. and to file within one year after
ward a. profile, either for the whole
route or covering twenty miles at a
time. The committee report says:
'sThe great mineral discoveries in this
region. and the present almost insuper-
able difficulties in the transportation OF
freight and passengers. have caused an
active interest in the location and con-
str-,ction of railroads. Numerous
schemes have been proposed, but the
committee has declined to consider any
specific proposition Of any individual or
CORPORATION. but think that any legisla-
ton ON the subject should be general
and open to all persons alike. The pro-
posed legislation is based on the Right
of WAY Act of 1876, made adaptable to
Alaska. AS to the further extension of
the public land laws, the. committee has
deemed it desirable at this time to ex-
tend the homestead laws only The
townsite and mineral laws are already
In force"

CREEDE WILL CASE.
Several Physicians Testify as to the
State Of the Widows Mind.


LOS ANGELES. Jan. 14.-Expert tes-
umony was introduced into the Creole
case when the contest over the will was
resumed to-day before Judge Clark.
This evidence was designed to show
from Physiological standpoint that
the continuous use of morphine by Mrs.
Creole would have the effect of weak
ening her will power and her ability to
resist undue pressure brought to bear
upon her.
Several physicians were placed upon
the stand by the contestants, and testi-
fed to their opinion of Mrs. Creede's
mental condition at the time that she
signed the agreement.
d. H. E. Brainard was called to tes-
tify as a medical expert. He stated
that the continued use of morphine
universally weakened the intellect and
moral power of the subject. 1t would
have the same deleterious effect upon
the will power or the power to resist
any pressure which might be brought
to bear upon the individual
Mrs. Creede's attorney read a hypo-
thetical question, which was put to all
the medical men examined. He related
all the circumstances surrounding the
signing of the agreement by Mrs.
Creole, and then asked whether, in the
opinion of the doctor, her mind was at
that time in condition Of soundness
or unsoundness.
DR.. Brainard replied that he believed
she was mentally unsound at the time.
Two other medical experts answered
much to the same effect.

JAY-sYKEs CASE.
Sir Tatton Testifies That Sigma
lures on Notes Were Not His.

LONDON, Jan. 14-Sir Edward
Clarke, @. c., opened for the defense to-
day in the suit of Daniel Jay to re-
cover from Lady Sykes. wife of Sir
Tatton Sykes, the sum of f15,S $50,
loaned to the defendant on the security
of notes apparently signed by her hus-
band.
Sir Tatton Sykes testified that the
signatures were not his.
The expert in handwriting, named
Englis, testified that the signatures on
the bills and letters of authority pur-
porting to be signed by Sir Tatton
Skyes were in his opinion, forgeries,
executed by a woman
Sir Tatton Sykes denied generally
his wife's evidence, and said he re-
garded the transaction with Mr.. Jay
as being wicked and criminal con-
duct" on the part of her ladyship.
Lawson Walton, Q. c., cross-exam-
ined Sir Tatton Sykes and showed him
the checks which a Monte Carlo bank
er yesterday testified Sir Tatton had
signed and afterwards repudiated The
Baronet positively denied having signed
them. He further said the story of the
banker (Mr. Unwin) on the subject was
a fiction.
do you suggest asked Mr. Walton,
that Lady Sykes has been forging your
name?"
II would rather not discuss the mat
ter" replied Sir Tatton.
when did you first ascertain that
Lady Sykes had forged your sigma
ture?" counsel then asked.
MAY be it was twelve years ago"
answered the witness. THE first for
gerry was for 10000. In December,
1896, became aware that my signature

INDIA FINANCES.
Currency Notes to be Issued to Re-
ieve the Money Stringency.

CALCUTTA, Jan. 14-Sir James
Westland, the Finance Minister of the
Council, introduced a bill to-day provid-
ing for the issuance of currency notes
against gold.
Mr.. Arthur, the paid Secretary of
State in London, in behalf of the banks
and Chambers of Commerce. indorsed
the measure
The Finance Minister said the Indian
money market was experiencing q pc
Rod of extreme stringency. The local
resources, he added, We're unable to
supply the demands of trade. The
scarcity, he explained, was due to the
banks renting their capital home and
keeping as little as possible in India.
This policy was adopted before the leg
islation of 1893, and was not in conse-
Guence OF that Legislation. But whsie
they were advancing toward the at
tainment of a 16d rupee, the success
initiated against the transfer of ster-
ling capital to India in exchange. The
banks must operate upon commercial
principles; and no blame was attached
to them.
Sir James Westland denied the allie
CATION that the Government was hold
and force up exchanges, but the recent
demands on the Government had been
so heavy that it had been obliged to
ask the Secretary of State to intermit
the drawings. The amount in hand
was ample to assure the convertibility
of the Indian notes; therefore, there
was no risk from a currnecy point of
view.
BOMBAY, Jan. 14.-The commercial
situation has more favorable aspect,
with the prospect that the stringency
in money will gradually relax and ac-
commodation become available.
The stringency is largely due to the
locking up of the capital in silver under
the idea that the miits will be re-
opened. 1t is also due in part TO the
exodus of merchants because of the
famine. Although the bank rate is II
per cent, loans are only obtainable at
from 10 to IS per cent. There is a
balance in the treasury of about ten
crOres.
