L. Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, re-
turned on the steamer Minnehaha, of the At
lantic Transport Line, to live once more on
American soil: He was accompanied by his
wife and two daughters. The big steamship
was slow in getting into her pier, at West Hous-
ton-st, and it not until 10 o'clock last night
that the gangway Joined the ship to the shore
Mr.. Clemens did not come ashore Immediately
but waited until many of the passengers had
reached the pier A few friends were there TO
greet him. He was surrounded by a group Of
newspaper men almost as soon as he left the
gangway. He talked to them for fifteen or
twenty minutes in a serious strain, frightened

The party went out from this city in the yacht

him to keep afloat until he died. Then they

his body. and let it go adrift. One of the men,
whose name is not known was almost insane

him. The reply was: Il never told the truth
that was not suspected of lying, and never told
a lie that was not believed"
One of the first questions asked of him as
to his views the political situation His an
swer was that on general principles he was an
anti-imperalst.
"Once 1 was not anti-imperialist," he said. Il
thought that the rescue of those islands from

that it was not likely that he would vote for

In regard to his travels ne said that he had

When asked as to what he is doing now. Mr..
Clemens said that he was engaged upon one or

LOCOMOTIVE WORKS SOLD.
SYNDICATE OF NEW-YORKERS GIVES
BOND OF 100000 TO GUARANTEE
PURCHASE.

| Paterson, n. j., Oct. 15.-Bernard Katz Of
Katz Brothers, the brewers of this city, an
nounced this afternoon that the Rogers Locomo-
tive Works had been sold by Jacob Rogers to a.
syndicate composed of New-York capitalists and
a number of Paterson's most wealthy men The
papers, he says. were signed in New-York this
morning.
Mr.. Katz said he and his brother had been
impeed to open negotiations with Mr.. Rogers
because they did not want to see the works
closed. They knew it would be a hard blow to
the business interests Of Paterson and they
made arrangements to purchase the works. with
the understanding that IL any one else wanted
them they would stand aside If the works were
to remain here. Mr.. Katz says the purchase Of
the works by the New-Tork syndicate is a great
thing for Paterson. They will be enlarged and
equipped with modern machinery as soon as
the new owners take hold.
There are all sorts OF rumors a6oat as to who
the new owners are. The statement that the
vanderbilts are behind the New-York syndicate
is denied by men who say that those negotia-
tiops fell through, and that tbe new purchasers
ere men whc have not been mentioned in CON
nection with the sale of the works heretofore.
Mr.. Katz says the VanderbUts are not Interested
in the purchase of the works. Cae OF the syndi-
cate is largely interested in iron. The new
owners will make the transaction public in a
few days, Then they will ask Paterson people
to subscribe for stock In the enterprise
Mr. Katz knows who are the interested ones. but
SAYS he cannot tell the public. Mr. Katz added
that he had received a telephone message from
Mr.. Rogers that a 100000 bond had been given
him as guarantee that the purchase contract
would be carried out.
An effort made to find Mr.. Rogers last
night, but 1t was unavaing His home address
in the city directory is No. 1 East Thirty ninth

said there last night that he was not at SAe

WRIT OF MANDATE ISSUED.
chase Tide Lands Under Act of
1895 Not Void by Act of 1897.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
yesterday granted writ of mandate to
require the commissioner Of public lands
to issue q contract to NJ. Billings On jan
uary Z, 1897, Billings filed an application
to purchase tide lands. The application
was in due form and showed that the
relator was entitled to own and hold lands
in this state. and that he had complied
with the legal requirements. The publi-
cation of the application was completed on
March r., 1897, and proof was filed on
March %. When the application was flied
and until March 16. 1897, no preference
rights of purchase existed to tide lands
On May Is. 1897, the re;ator filed with
the commissioner of public lands a de-
mand that the contract Of purchase be
issued to him. offering to do everything
necessary to be done. On March 16, 1897,
the act of the same date went into effect,
repeating the 1895 law, under which the
application was made and reserving cer-
tain preference rights of purchase. On
June 8, 1897, an application was fled by
one Calhoun to purchase the land In
volved, under the new law. On these facts
the issue arose as to whether 1t was conn
petent for the state on March Is. 1897, to
withdraw the lands in controversy. from
the disposition under the law of 1895 and
in other words. were the REALTORS rights
sufficiently vested before the law of March
49, 1897. went into effect to entitle him to
the contract authorized in the law of 1895?
The supreme court decides that 1t was
the duty of the commissioner to execute
the contract of purchase when all the acts
In conformity to the statute had been done.
