THE IRELAND LANDS.
Decision by Which tho Archbishop Both

Decision by Which the Archbishop Both
Wins aud Loses.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Commissioner
Herman of the general land Office has
decided the case Of Archbishop John
Ireland, involving the right to about
&c, 600 acres Of land in the St. Cloud
and Marshall land districts, Minnesota.
With view to colonization and other
purposes, the archbishop entered into
two contracts with the St. Paul, Mime.
apolis and Manitoba Railway company
within whose limits the land Law. for
it's disposition. These contracts were
dated July H., 1880, and March 80,
1888. Subsequently it was determined
that the land was not properly convey.
able to the railroad, and the question
arose whether the archbishop, under
the agreements with the company could
become the purchaser Of the lands
on which many persons had set
tied. The commissioner decides that
under the agreement Of 1880, in
which about 5000 acres are involved,
the archbishop cannot become the pur-
chaser, as he was simply the agent Of
the company in disposing Of the lands,
for which he received commission.
The settlers now. on those lands can
acquire patent under the land laws at
the price Of $l.25 per acre. Or: under Ger
tain conditions may take ont home
stead rights. Under the agreement Of
1888, the commissioner decides the
archbishop has the right TO purchase
the lands These he will have ~ pay
for ct the rate Of 81. 80 per acre. Many
persons have settled also on these lands,
under arrangements with tho arch
bishop l']r n the first case, Therefore the
j decision is against the arch bishop, and

both cases the: settlers will IS rejected.
