Denver, Colo. Feb. 7,-secretary Mar

ton today announced the following

dent Springer to prepare and present
to Congress a bill for the leasing Of the

The whole West is worked up over
the proposed changing Of the land laws.
The National association. at Fort
Worth declared in favor Of a leasing
law, but none Of the bills pending In
Congress is satisfactory TO the live
stock interests and the convention or.
dered the appointment Of this special
committee with power TO prepare and
present a bill which would meet the
ideas Of the stockmen and give them
protection from Entertainments Of cor
porations and big operators.
The association has assurances from
Washington that no bill viii be passed
until they present their measure. Judge
Northcutt. the chairman Of the commit
tee, has given the subject much atten-
ton and Is the author Of the so-oalled
Wolcott bill He has agreed 10 assist
In preparing the kind OF law the stock
interests desire The committee which
consists Of one member from each OF
the States and Territories containing
arid lands is made up OF prominent
sheepmen, cattlemen and attorneys for
live stock associations. II will probably
meet In this city In the near future TO
commence work on the proposed meas
ure. The position OF the National Live
Stock association is that II any leasing
law is to be passed It must be such a
law as they desire and the proposed
measure will be fully discussed before
II Is presented TO Congress. There are
many diverse interests to be considered
and the committee has a big job ahead
of II. The principal point insisted upon
is that the actual settlers and small
stockmen shall be given ample protec-
tion against land grabbers and specu-
lators and that the law shall not work
a hardship upon any section or branch
OF the stock Industry.

CHINESE OUTRAGE.
Condition In the Orient that Needs
Attention.

Vancouver, b. C., Feb THE
steamer Empress Of China arrived to-
day from Yokohama with details OF
the murder Of Rev. S. NJ. Brooke in
shantung. An imperial decree dated
January ith mildly condemns the out
rage and crlticises the officials whose
lack Of administration made the coolies
believe the assassination would be &C.
ceptable TO the authorities. Comment
ing on the decree the North China
Daily News days
"A more miserable and dlsgraceful
state paper than the decree issued by
the empress dowager in reference to
the murder Of Rev Brooke We have
not read for long time. For months
the missionaries In Shantung have been
insisting 20 the local authorities. the
adjacent consuls and legations al Pc.
kin, on the unsettled and dangerous
condition OF the country. We trust
that all the preoccupation Of our gov
eminent IN the Transyaal win not pre-
vent our legation from taking up this
outrage vigorously and insisting that
an end shall be put 10 the misgoycrn-
ment OF Shautuug 20 which the MUIR
der Is really due. a large number OF
the Shdntung officials from the gov.
ernor down, are really as guilty OF the
murder Of Rev, Brooke as the mis-
creants who actually killed him, and
reparation should be sternly and
promptly eXacted."
