BLISS RULES ADVERSELY.

Decision Against Minnesota in the Claim
For Reservation School Sections.
ST. PAUL, Feb. ga Washington
special to The Dispatch says:
Secretary of the Interior Bliss has
prepared an adverse decision to the
claims Of the state of Minnesota for
title to sections IL and So, on the
Red Lake and Chippewa INDIAN res
ervations, for school purposes. This
decision would have been promulgated
last Saturday, but j. E. Byrnes, who
represents the state as special agent,
has filed q protest. and demands hear
ing, which will be had this week. SEN
ators Davis and Nelson will probably
appear before Bliss when the matter
comes up.
The claim is one of great importance
to Minnesota, as thousands of fertile
acres would be placed at the disposal
of the educational friends of the state.
The land Office officials have held that
treaty stipulations with Indians cannot
be set aside, but the contention of the
state is based on the Constitution Of
the United States itself, under tho
clause of Section Of Article 4.

Western Roads Assume the Aggressive in
tho Rate Cutting Matter.
CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Western roads
have assumed the aggressive in the
war with the Canadian Pacific road.
They have thrown that road out of the
Western immigrant clearing house.
The effect of this action will be that
the Canadian Pacific will be shut out
from any participation in immigrant
traffic arriving at New York or Boston.
The Transatlantic steamship lines will
also stop selling tickets via the Cana.
dian Pacific.
The Southern Pacific road is also a

Question That Is Now Agitating Students
of international Law.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-The question of
responsibility which might attach to
the government of Spain in case the
Maine explosion was du. to mine in
the harbor of Havana, and was the
work of fanatic or an ,ccident, has
become subject of discussion among
lawyers. International law is a matter
largely of precedent, and mine explo.
sion in fortified harbor in time of peace
has no precedent. All unite in saying
that if such an event was by design it
would be cause for war. No less an
authority than Robert T. Lincoln, sec.
retary of war under Garfield and
Arthur and former minister ITO Eng
land, is positive that in case of acci-
dent, or if the mine was exploded by q
Spanish fanatic, Spain would not be
burdened with any legal responsibility.
