By the terms of said act, however, no person could initiate claim to lands in such reservation after the date of the opening. There is nothing in the act which requires claimants to file mo- ttice of their claims in the land depart ment, it is sufficient if they show a compliance with the mining laws The Isurvey provided for is only for the ex- terior lines of the ceded portion Of the reservation.
 There is no substantial survey for the lands to be opened. Coal claim ants, therefore, will be protected by showing compliance. with the coal
 land laws and regulations in the mat ter of maintenance of their claims. The
 mineral rights may therefore rest upon
 their rights acquired by their posses sory titles and not file notice of their claims in the land department. In view of this. fact the local officers will have no particular duty to perform in lthe opening of said reservation except to give notice of the filing of the ap- proved. plat in the manner to be indi- cated when such approved plat is for wafded to the local office It is under | stood that when said lands are opened they will be subject to the operation of the United States mineral land laws only.

As the railroad reporter started on ''the rounds" of the railroad omces the other morning he was accosted by as decided a case of shabby genteer' as one would find in long days walk.

 The railroad reporter believed the story and produced dime.
 Latter in the day the r4ilroad reporter sat at his desk busily at work writing up his stuff." His coat and hat were off. and as he bent over his desk he didn't look much like the man who had been accosted by the shabby early in the morning. Consequently when the shab- by walked into the office and up to the railroad mans desk he did not recognize him as the individual who had given up the dime in the morning.
 "Are you the railroad editor?" he ask
 "I am." replied the railroad man with out looking up.
 "Well. I'll tell you," went on the shab- by. T used to be president of the Chi maukee & Northwestern railroad, but I'm in little hard luck just now, and, say. I'd be obliged if you'd give me a dime or so to get cup of coffee. You remember the hot stories I used to give you over at. the"

H. B. VAN DEMAN ON PRUNING

Pruning for shape is quite another matter. The ideal of the future tree or plant should be in the mind of the planter when he proceeds to use his knife at the beginning of it's life. For an orchard tree central stem with branches coming out at intervals on all sides is best in nearly all cases The very common practice of heading them so that there is cluster of branches all at one place is very unde- sirable to my notion. It causes them to split apart in many cases when loaded with fruit
 Heading low is the rule in the west ern states and it is becoming more pop ular eastward. It makes a difference as to what is the habit of the kind of fruit tree being handled. Peaches should be lower than apples. Then, there are great variations in the habits of the different varieties. A tall grow ing pear tree, like the Kieffer, should be headed very low, and a Rhode 1s- land Greening apple tree should be headed high, because it's branches are very spreading. An Abundance plum tree which grows toward the sky should be headed much lower than 3 dropping Burbank.
 "In every case it needs common sense and careful thought to prune trees or anything else at planting time and so all along their life time. But if the above ideas are given due con- sideration there will be many common faults easily avoided. ."-Texas Farm and Ranch.

Mckinley and Secretary Alger are
firmly convinced that the invasion of
Cuba should begin at the earliest pos

president and cabinet do not share the
view entertained by General Miles,
that military operations on the island
ought to be deferred until autumn,
when the rainy season will have
passed. However desirable this might
be on the score of greater security to
the troops, the president and his ad-
visers believe that the occupation of
Cuba should follow Immediately the

that the land forces should be in readi-
ness to supplement the work of the

Twenty Rounds.


SYRACUSE, N. Y, May 2O.-Not
since the famous Carson City mill for
the heavy weight championship has
there been so much interest taken in Q
pugiltstic event as Is being bestowed
by the sporting fraternity on the twen-
ty-round go between "Kid" Mccoy
aud Gus Rubin to be brought off here
tonight under the auspices of the re-
vived Empire Athletic club. The
morning trains brought scores of visit
ors from New York, Buffalo and other
citizens anxious to witness the contest.
Both Mccoy and Rubin have finished
their training and are indulging in lit
tie or no work today. Among the first
to arrive In town this morning were
w. A. Brady and Jim Corbett. The
betting favors Mccoy.
The men will weigh in at the ring
side. Rubin appears to be fully twen-
ty pounds heavier than Mccoy, and
they will probably tip the beam in the
vicinity of 100 and ITO ponnds respec-
lively. In addition to weight Madden's
protege will also have the advantage
over Mccoy in the matter of height,
reach, and strength, against which the
Indiana boy will have to bring his
superior cleverness and scientific train
ing to Offset. Mccoy has not been
training as hard as the big Swiss, but
nevertheless he appears to be in fine
fettle and declares confidence in his
ability to dispose of his opponent be-
fore the limit of twenty rounds is
reached. The articles of agreement
provide for division of the gate re-

1t Begins to Look as if the Spaniards
Had Beat Our Board of Lethar1y.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The report
carried in these dispatches late yester-
day afternoon that the Spanish fleet
had been sighted off Jamaica is this
morning generally accepted as true,
though it has not been absolutely con-
frmed.
The Spanish report that their fleet
has arrived safely in the harbor OF
Santiago de Cuba is probably CO. rect.
1t is expected that they will proceed
to Cienfuegos after brief stay at San
tiago, for the former port is regarded
as better base of operations,
being nearer Havana and better forti-
fed.
The location of the two American
squadrons is not stated officially,
though most reports have them at Key
West.
The accepted belief this morning is
that the long awaited battle is still
some days off.
Admiral Cervera has scored over
the American board OF strategy. who
hoped to play a smart game OF naval
chess so as to catch him at sea. How
ever, they now have the precedent of
Dewey's victory over fort, mines, and
ships, and think that either Sampson
or Schley can repeat the operation,
even taking into account the probabi-
lity that the Spaniards may also have
learned something from Manila.
