Stopping the Tricky Entries.

Washington, Sept. 30-On October
1st an act of the last session of Con
gress, which provides that after that
date all selections of land in lieu of re-
linquished taxes in forest reserves
shall be made from among the sur
veyed non-mineral public lands, which
are subject to homestead entry, goes
into effect.
Under the act of June 4, 1897, these
lieu selections could he made on any
public lands, surveyed or unsurveyed,
and it was not long before it was
found that such n law would result in
enormous loss to the government and
the old law entrymen who would take
up tracts in forest reserves, but off the
valuable timber before completing
their entry and then relinQuish the de-
nuded lands to the government and
make n lieu selection from among the
valuable timber tracts in some other
section. In this way they would re
lease lands valued ut practical lands
for lands whose value would run from
$40 per acre up into the hundreds of
dollars.
So extensive had this practice grown
that it was necessary to put a stop TO
it, and this was done very recently at
the last session. One state, 1t is re-
ported, lost all of its school lands
through such n scheme as was permiss-
able under the old law. This new pro
vision is general in character and
reaches all the public land states.

PRINCE TUAN
REMOVED FROM OFFICE
\+H+HfH%H+X.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The Chinese
minister has received official confirma-
tion of the issuance of an imperial de-
cree degrading Prince I>uan, Kangi
and other officials for their course in
regard to the recent troubles in China.
This information agrees with that
contained in n dispatch received by the
State Department from Consul Nc
Wade at Canton.
The minister has heard nothing of
the selection of officials designated by
Minister Conger to act in concert in
peace negotiations, but he has no doubt
it is correct.
Several important dispatches We're
received to-day from China. Generally
they tend to confirm the events record
ed Saturday. From Canton, Consul
McWade reports the issuance of the
decree Furnishing Tuan and his col
leagues, so that there is no longer
doubt as - the a,c.iracy of Sheng's
statement on that point. Mr.. Congcr
also has received official notification
of the Chinese peace commission
which was forecasted by Minister
Wu's advices several days ago. Mr..
Congcr made no reference to the con-
demnatory Decree hence it is inferred
that it was not issued when his dis
patch was sent last Thursday. The
COnger message says:
Have received notice to-day from
Prince Ching that he. Earl Ii, Yung LII
and Niccroys Kun vi and Chang Chip
Tung will act in concert in negOtia-
tions for peace. Yung Lu is in the in
terror LII Hung Chang is at Tien
Tsin.'
The appointment of Yung Lu is not
likely to be satisfactory to any other
of the powers. as Yung Lu has made
himself as offensive as Prince Tuan.
He is generalissimo of the imperial
troops and is regarded as mainly re-
sponsible for the persistent fight on the
legations during the crisis. The other
commissioners are highly acceptable.
Chalfee reports he is moving with
rapidity toward the execution of the
departments orders relative to the
withdrawal of his troops.

San Francisco, Oct Through de-

Spiracy to obstruct train carrying the

The case grew out of the big strike

pose to knowingly obstruct the mails
Continuing, the judge said:
ut is alleged that they willfully and
knowingly delayed and olrstructed the
movements of the train. While it is
true that the laws make the railways
of the United States postal roads for
carrying the mail, and n large number
of the passenger trains are engaged in
carrying the mail. The defendants in
this case are not charged with the
overt act of obstructing the passage Of

Panama Hats

Poverty stricken, war-ravaged Cuba

II. G. Kerens stated that the new
Los Angeles and Salt Lake City rail
way absorbs the franchise and prop

of the new railway into the southern
California metropolis. The Mormon
Church has practically promised n ter
minal site in the Utah capital, and Pio-
neer square, n tract of ten acres In the
center of the city, will be turned over
to the railway for its passenger and
freight stations.
The construction will require $685.

has In Its eye a vast commercial devel-
opmcnt. Southern Utah and eastern
Nevada contain coal and the best iron
ore. besides the precious metals.
'The region will some day be the
