UN.iPPROPRIATED LANDS.
Annual Report shows There Are Sti1l
9,3Os,O6S Acres.

Washington, Oct. 26-The annual re-
general land office, made public to-day
shows a great total of 92930S, ,06S acres
of unappropriated and unreserved pub
lie lands in the United States. The
disposals of public lands during the
fiscal year show an increase of 72S516
acres as compared with the aggregate
of the previous year. The total cash
receipts of the service increased S972,
142 over last year. Original horDestead
entries show a decrease and final en-
tries an increase There were 150,541
acres certified or patented as swamp
lands during the year, an increase Of
almost 10000. Indian and miscellaneous
land patents issued aggregate 21,S4S
acres and 420,760 acres selected by the
various states and territories were GER
titled for educational and other pur-
poses Under the several railroad
grants made by congress there were
certified and patented last year 504,651
acres of land, together with 60,392 acres
for wagon road construction.
The commissioner makes a number of
recommendations looking to the better
ment of the land law and suggests the
enlargement of the Mount Rainier Ma
tional park in Washington and the yell
lowstone National park in Wyoming.
Protection against forest fires is es-
pecially urged 1t is estimated that the
average yearly loss from this cause Is
not less than $2O000,00O. The proper
utilization of the grazing land on the
public domain is also urged and it is
pointed out that so long as the laws
require mill men and other lumbermen
to pay a fair price to the government
for timber supplies drawn from public
lands there should be an equal charge
levied on the grazing products of pub
lie lands. The government it is urged
should derive a revenue from leasing
such lands. The adjustment of the
Northern Pacific grants shows 36,570,-
O99 acres as quantity of land to which
that company is entitled and there are
still due the company 1851, 1872 acres
The whole area of the grant to the
Union Pacific is found to the 12,129,S42
acres, of which 5,153. .646 acres are still
due The whole area of the grant to
the st. Paul. Minneapolis and Manito-
ba company is 1887, ,22S acres, and the
company has actually received an ex-
cess of 10,975 acress. The adjustment
of the Northern Pacific grant shows
there will be deficiency of more than
100000 acres by the grant of May 81,
1870, deficiency also may be found
under the grant of 1864.

THE CARRINGTON PUBLISHING co.
A WILD BRANFORD CoWBoY.
On n Rampage Yesterday Afternoon In
Farren Avenue saloon.

One is reminded of the hair-raising
tales of the woody western cowboys on
their rampageS by an occurrence at
Hugo's saloon on Farren avenue yes
terday afternoon. About o'clock an
individual with fiery red hair and with
blood in his eye entered the place, and,
f1ourishing a 44-calibre revolver and a
ten-inch bowie knife, ordered the bar
tender to set up the drinks. The drink
mixer complied with the order with
alacrity, evidently thinking it was not
his cue to question why. Then the red
headed flre-eater ordered every one Of
the four men who were in the barroom
to set up the drinks, and they were not
slow to follow the bartenders example
in obeying.
In the meantime man drove up to
the saloon, and alighting from his wag-
on, was about to enter the place, when
the scene within met his gaze. Quickly
sizing up the situation, he jumped into
his wagon and drove pell-mell in the
direction of the Grand avenue police
station. On Grand avenue he met Pa
trolmen McKeon and p. Roche, to
whom he excitedly related what he had
seen. The policemen clambered into the
wagon and drove rapidly back to the
saloon. They slid into the place quietly
and grabbed the bowling tarantula, who
resisted some, but was finally subdued.
He had thrown the chairs out of the
saloon into the street, scattered ashes
from the stove over the pool tables and
the bar, and was proceeding to further
exhibit his prowess in that line when
the bluecoats put in an appearance. He
was taken to the Grand avenue station
house, where he was locked UP on the
charges of drunkenness, carrying con-
cealed weapons and general breach of
the peace. His narne is Thomas Nc
Glinchy and he halls from Branford.
He has on previous occasions celebrated
hilariously his visit to New Haven from
those wilds, and on account Of his traits
is known downtown as the "Branford
Cowboy"

ing the president to offer the friendly
services of the United States in media
tion between Great Britain and the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State
republics, were presented to the presi-
dent to-day by a delegation from New
York headed by Tunis G. Bergen. presi-
dent OF the Holland society,"
Mr.. Bergen, in his address presenting
the petition to the president. said the
delegation had no desire to erbarrass
the friendly relations between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain. It was
because Of that friend1iness and good
understanding that they presented the
petition in the hope that In the wise
and good discretion of the president a
way might be found to offer the timely
offices Of the government Of the United
States in an endeavor to allay the
bloody conflict now going on in Africa.
This would be in line with the new dip
lomacy enunciated at The Hague peace
conference. Mr.. Bergen expressed the
hope that honorable terms Of peace
might be secured, the honor Of both par
ties be sustained and the names of two
OF our sister republics be not stricken
from the earth No people, he said,
would welcome our good offices like the
English people; the South African re-
publics were ready for mediation, and
the United States, as the friend Of both,
should be the best mediator.
The president in responding thanked
the men present for appearing and for
the sentiments expressed in behalf Of
peace. Such sentiments he said, had
his sympathy, but in case where so
many diverse interests were involved
moves must be made with great reserve
lest unwittingly in jury be done some
of the parties. The fact, moreover,
must not be overlooked that America
had interests at stake. The president
reiterated that he was for peace and
assured the delegation that the petition
would receive his most earnest consid-

The New Railroad.
To Incorporate in This State
With Strong Backing.

A newrailroad incorporation of great
local importance will shortly be filed in
this state. Who the incorporators vii
be is not known, but the line will be in
the sole interest of the Oregon .Shor
Line and will cover that portion of its
old surveyed line to Los Angeles, trav-
ersing Lincoln county. 1t enters the
state at Uvada on the completed grade
md runs in a southwesterly direction.
The matter is being kept very secret;
in fact all the Oregon Short Line Local
)fficials declare there is no such inten-
ton, that there is no necessity to ineor-
porate in Nevada to hold the grade, and
hat they know nothing about the mai
ter. Owing to the fact that the officials
refuse to talk, the full details of the plan
can not be procured at this time. The
Dad will be incorporated, however, in
this state; it will be a continuation of
he Utah & Pacific and there is every
ason to believe that with the Oregon
Short Line behind it, the actual work
will commence this spring. Whether
the Utah & Pacific directors will be in
the new company is also unknown, but
that road would derive great benefit
from the extention, no matter who builds
it.
1t is said that Lincoln county is heay
" burdened with debt and th1t 1T is ez-
oecting the future taxation of the rail
road company to lift this burden. L
was the fear of this which prevented a
railroad from being incorporated to &C
tn -ough the county before, more es-
pecially this being the case with the
Utah & Pacific, which only incorporated
to the State line. But now it looks as il
stronger company will take hold and
with the Oregon Short Line making tie
announcement there will no longer be
my doubt as to the road being built
