THE LIEU LANDS.
Senator Wilson the Man Who Got
Them for the Settlers.

Senator Wilson has completely ex-
plOded the fake story of the Spokesman
Review that Congressman Lewis and not
the senator is entitled to the credit.
In an interesting pamphlet issued bv
Senator Wilson on the subject, he saws
OF the Review article:
1t contaius so many inaccuracies and palpa-
bic misstatements and is so at variance with
the facts as disclosed by the official records as
to impress itself upon anyone having knowl-
edge of official matters as having been manu-
featured out of whole cloth. Certainly no
committee with any regard for the reputation
OF its members, would be guilty of such colos-
sal folly as to permit the publication of these
statements, which are so easily refuted from
official records.
In view OF the attack which has been made
upon me personally, it may be we'll to give a
brief review of the whole subject:
Since 1882, what is known as the lieu land
question has been the subject of much debate
and expensive litigation, and from that time
to the date of the passage of the last sundrv
civil bill, many attempts have been made to
settle the controversies between the settlers
and the railroad company. During my whole
pubic career have earnestly sought some set
Element of this question.
When the Northern lac,tie railway COM
pany was reorganized, Mr.. i>4uiel S. Lamont
was made It's vlce-presldC nC. My relations
with him, both social and official, had been
most cordial and had extended through a long
period of years. | therefore called upon him
and asked him if there was not some way TO
settle this question, and if there was not some
legislation that his company would accept that
would lead to its final settlement. | gave him
IN detail the entire history of the controversy
from the time when Mr.. James McNaught in
1882, IN the town of Colfax, made legal ar
gument in one of these lieu land cases.
Col. Lamont suggested that | submit to him
the draft of bill framed along the lines of my
suggestions and that he would submit the
same to his associates. | therefore prepared
the rough draft of bill founded upon and
along the same lines as the bill which settled
similar controversy along the lines of the
Great Northern in North and South Dakota.
That bill. can be found in Vol. q of the Stat
utes at Large on pages $50 and 392 That
draft was returned to me substantially as I
had drawn it and with few and uuimportant
alterations, and by me submitted to the score
tary of the interior, and commissioner of the
general land office. The latter suggested a

The only time the distinguished gen
tleman appeared at his best was when be
told a darkey story OF doubtful origin
and cracked a joke about an innocent
crying baby. Then he brought healthy
grins to the faces before him, but he
spoiled it all by falling back upon the
old calamity howls OF the last campaign
and his aches and pains about bonds
with which the American people are
satisfied.

Anrlo-AmerItnn AIlInnee Urged.

London, March 1S-The Daily Chron-
icle, in an editorial on the growth of
the Anglo-American alliance idea, ex-
presses the conviction that it is only
a matter of time. 1t says: America
does not need more help from us now
than at any other time. She is super
abundantly capable of meeting any
situation that might arise. She will
have our friendly sympathy and neu-
trality in the Cuban question, and al
this moment it is difficult for us to Of
fer more. 1t is quite certain that Eng
land would never allow the United
States to be crushed by a combination
of European powers"

should prove true, Terrible as are both
of these Incidents, but the spectacle of
a million and half of people, the en-
tire native population of Cuba, strug-
Cling for freedom and deliverence from
the worst misgovernment of which 1
ever had knowledge. But whether our
action ought not to be Influenced by
any one of these things, and if so, how
far, is another question. 1 am not in

CHICAGO'S FATAL FIRE.
Three Bodies Discovered in the
Ruins of the Building.
FOURTEEN ARE STILL MISSING,
As These Are Undoubtedly Buried In

First Reports.

the Blackened Ruins the Death List
- VIII Reach Twenty, as Indicated by
First Reports.
Chicago March 1S.-Three burned
and mangled bodies were taken from
the ruins of the building at 215-22l
Wabash avenue, which was destroyed
by fire Wednesday morning. This
brings the number of known dead to
six, while IA persons reported as miss
ing have not been accounted for, and
are undoubtedly in the ruins. Firemen
yesterday unearthed the bodies Of
Charles A. Price, cashier Henry X.
Nelson, chemist, and Mrs NJ. S. Harris,
boolSkeeper, all employed by the W. A.
Olmstead Scientific company. The
three victims who lost their lives by
leaping from the building to the pave
ment below were Edward Binz, cashier
for Sweet, Wallach & Co.; Miles a.
Smith and Samuel A. Clark, employees
of the Olmstead company.
The missing, all of whom were con-
nected with these two firms, are as
follows: w. A. Olmstead, c. II. Arms,
w. j. Wilcox, William Bass, Miss Hat
tie Davidson, Miss Anna Guest, Will
lam Marvin, A. N. Peterson, Mrs. Wat
kins, George Stiff, c. T. Anderson,
Fred Robertson. Emma Carroll and
Tony Anofsbry.
The search of the RUNS was resumed
today. AS most of the missing were
seen about the building during or just
before the fire it seems certain the list
of fatalities will reach a score
The body of Mrs. Harris was identi-
fled by her S-year-old son, on account
of the peculiar formation of the teeth.
The firemen were directed to work on
the rear of the ruins and the police
were ordered to begin their search
through the front. Twenty minutes
after the police begun work they found
Mrs. Harris body wedged between two
heavy beams, so crushed and burned
as to be unrecognizable.
Shortly after the discovery of the
body a gruesome find was made. A
piece of wood about ten feet long
when pulled out from the debris was
found to be saturated and dripping
with blood at one end. 1t had prob
ably pierced some unfortunate in it's
fall and had laid with the end in his
body until withdrawn.

More Trouble in Guatemala.

Mexico City, March 1S.-Twelve
Guatemalans of the staff of General
Morales, the Guatemalan rebel leader
left yesterday for Vera Cruz, and will
disembark at Chapuperico. They go
well armed and take tents for 120 peo-
pie. General Morales will follow in a
few days, and it is believed that this
portends a fresh breaking out of the
rebellion. Spaniards are said to be aid
