Senator Hanna thus disposed of the many sensational stories about combinations to prevent the passage of the ship subsidy bill: "I will say now what I have always said, that this bill is for the best interests of the country, and 1 believe it is going to pass the Senate. I know the stories they are telling about what the opposition to the bill professes to be able to do. 1 have said from the first that this bill must go through congress ina perfect ly clean way and absolutely upon its merits. And that is the way it is going through, if at all. l will stake my reputation as a business man of a good many years experience and as ship per on the prediction that this bill will do what we claim for it, and that it will result in 50 per cent of our trade being carried under the American flag. This will be of incalculable benefit to the U. $. 1t will give an i'm petus to shipbuilding, an impetus to export business by the lower rates brought about by competi- tion, and it's beneficial influence will not be confined to any sec ton of the country"

WANT THE BILL WITHDRAWN

Acting upon the statements in Governor Murphy's letter pub, lished in the SENTINEL last week regarding the Algodones grant lands the farmers are circulating petition asking that the bill introduced by Delegate Wilson be withdrawn and the lands open ed up under the general land laws. The petition reads as fol. lows:
 YUMA, Ariz., Dec. 26th, 1900.
 We, the undersigned, occup- ants and settlers on the number of acres of land set opposite our respective names on the so-call- ed Algodones Land Grant, in the | County of Yuma and Territory of Arizona, respectfully petition the Honorable Secretary of the Interior and the Commissioner of the General Land Office, that the bill now pending before the Senate of the United States enti- tied, "An Act for the Relief of Occupants of lands included in the Algodones Grant in Ari- zona," be withdrawn and that the lands be restored to entry under the general regulation of the General Land Office.

The Wilson Bill.

As there have been numerous inquiries regarding the provis ions of the bill introduced by Delegate Wilson. supposedly in the interest of the Algodones grant settlers, we herewith pub fish it in full:
 An Act for the relief of occupants of lands included in the Algodones grant in Arizona.
 Whereas, the title to the lands in that section of the country in the county of Yuma and Territory of Ari- zona, and included within the boundar- ies of the old Mexican land grant known as the Algodones grant, was tried by the United States Court of Private Land Claims, created for the settlement of titles to such grants, in the years eighteen hundred and ninety five and eighteen hundred and ninety six: and
 Whereas, in the hearing of said con- test before said court the alleged grantees under said grant were suc- cessful and their title thereto by said trial court confirmed, and immediately thereafter the alleged grantees, for large and valuable considerations, sold to numbers of people, citizens and bona tide settlers on said lands, in tracts of less than forty acres to each, and said settlers, then believing that they had bona fide title to said lands sold, made lasting and valuable improve ments and permanent homes thereon; and
 Whereas, the government of the United States appealed said cause from the decision of said court below, and on said appeal the said decision of the said court below was reversed, and the title to said grant in said alleged gran tees adjudged to be void, and that the said lands included within the boundar- ies of said grant, and sold as aforesaid, belonged to the United States: and if said settlers, citizens, and occupants of said lands who so purchased the same as aforesaid be not permitted to retain the same, and pay the government therefor, they will be deprived of their homes. at ruinous consequences to them: Therefore,
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that where such persons in good faith and for valuable cOnsidera- tions purchased from the grant claim ants prior to May twenty-third, eigh- teen hundred and ninety-eight, DOT tions of the land covered by the said grant, and have occupied and improved the same, such person may, within six months from and after the passage of this Act, or within three months after the said lands shall be restored to entry, purchase the same at the price of one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre upon making proof of the facts required by this Act under regulations to be provided by the Commissioner of the General Land Office and approved by the Secretary of the Interior, joint entries being admissible where two CT more persons have purchased lands on the same forty-acre tract: Provided, that no one person shall purchase more than forty acres. and no purchase shall be allowed for less quantity than that contained in the smallest legal sub division.
 Sec. 2. That where persons duly qualified to make entry under the homestead or desert land laws, have occupied any of said lands with the in- tention of entering the same under the homestead or desert land laws. such

Notwithstanding the predic- tions of the democratic press of extravagant appropriations by the republicans at this session of congress not single appropria- tion bill has passed which con tained an item which any demo- crat characterized as extrava- gant. As matter of fact, some democrats are strongly urging extravagant appropriations, to be spent in their own localities, for the River and Harbor bill, which the House committee has almost finished. If there is any extravaganza at this session of Congress, it is likely to be found in that bill. It seems impossible for River and Harbor bill to get through any congress that does not contain appropriations that may justly be called extra vagant by those who have no personal or neighborhood inter est in the expenditure of the money.

Since the above was put in type we understand another peti- tion, has been prepared opposing the withdrawal of the Wilson bill, and is being circulated and extensively signed. There is a difference of opinion in regard to the exact meaning of one of the sections of the bill.
 After careful reading of the bill we cannot understand why any settler on these lands should want it withdrawn. The bill protects the ona-tide settler, and does not interfere with the new corners. It would be rank foolish ness to try to prevent its passage.
 It would seem, however, as though the point in dispute could and should be Settled OeIOre sending in opposing petitions, as such action might result in delaying the adjustment of the difficulty, which is certainly not to be desired, either by the farm CTS or by others who are inter ested in the development of the valley. Governor Murphy has shown a disposition and desire to do what the settlers want done in this matter, and it is to be hoped that whatever action is taken will have the practically unanimous endorsement of the people directly interested.

 My Dear Judge-Replying to your favor of yesterday l have to say that until the Algodones land shall be restored to the pub lie domain by an order to us from the Hon. Commissioner we will have nothing further to do with it, and should an applica- tion be presented prior to that date we will most certainly re- ject it immediately. We have been bothered enough with at tcmpts to file on that land and hereafter will show no mercy to applicants.
 We have no idea of what ac- tion will be taken in the matter no more than you. I am of the opinion, however, that if Dele gate Wilson had allowed the matter to take it's own course the land would have been open for entry long ago.
 Very respectfully,
