Gigantic Land Deal.

CHICAGO, March 16.-A special to
the Times-Herald from ST. Paul says:
President Mellen of the Northern
Pacific left ST. Paul last night for New
York on one of the most important
missions inrecent years, said to involve
the sale of all the land owned by the
Northern Pacific west Of the Missouri
river. The purchase price is given at
$4,000, 900. and it is understood that
this sum will he,used to retire'preferred
stock. 80, $50
The purchasers of this land are said
to be Eastern. capitalists, who have
perfected a syndicate, and who will
undertake to encourage settlement and
cultivation of. the land by Eastern
farmers, SUCH. as are now heading
westward in the. homeseeker's move
ment each week. President Mellen
has always been disposed to sell this
land, as several millions of acres have
already been disposed of, but could not
find purchaser with sufficient capital
to take thewhole amount.
= The retirement of the Northern Pa
cific preferred stock, much of which is
in the hands of the stockholders of the
old organization, with funds thus real
lied, will have the, effect of creating a
handsome surplus of earnings over the
present dividends, which may be di-
verted to various sources in. the liqui-
dation of bonds of Indebtedness for
betterment of the road.

The Public Printing Bill Vetoed.

! OLYMPIA, March 18.-Gov. Rogers
today vetoed the bill amending the act
OF 1899 relating to the public printing
and binding. The vetoed bill provided
for the appointment of estate print
ing expert" who should be clerk in
the office of the secretary of state, and
also gave the commissioners of printing
the power of requiring emergency work
to be done at the state capital, regard
less OF in what city the successful bid
der for the public printing was located.
The governors veto is as follows:
Senate bill No. 1876 is hereby vetoed.
1t attempts to amend law passed in
1899, not yet operative. which appears
exceedingly well adapted to the end
had in view, to-wit, that of decreasing
the cost of public printing. Expendi-
lures in this department. of the public
service have been heavy and yet results
thus far attained have not always met
with approval. That the law of 1899,
IT faithfully executed, will effect great
saving over methods previously fol-
lowed there appears no good reason to
doubt. | hold that good public policy
demands that a carefully framed law
which promises good results, should
not be changed for light or frivolous
reasons, least of all for political ones. y
1t is very evident that the governor
considered no other feature of the bill
save that which reduced the sexpert''
to the ranks, for the rest were purely
to perfect the existing law by safe
guards. The veto, on that account.
was.not unexpected, in view of the fact
that 1.-THE state printing expert" an
$500 official sinecure under existing
law, was proposed to be changed to :
plain ordinary "printer-expert'' clerk
in the secretary of states office at S12OO
q year, being required to work as do
the other clerks in that office, during
the eighteen months of each biennial
period when but little state printing is
to be done.

Following is resume of the changes
in school laws which are made by
measures which passed during the re-
cent session of the state legislature and
have been signed by the governor:
House Bill, No. 8, which is already a
law, provides for school elections to be
held on the second Saturday in May,
(this year the 1lth), and the directors
to assume office the first Monday in
June. 1t also provides that outgoing
boards shall not elect teachers for the
ensuing year, and thus prevents
trouble like that of the Shelton district
for the past year. Clerks are elected
at the same time, but do not take Of
flee till August, as under the oll law.
The annual convention of county super
intendents will be held in October in
stead of April, to conform to the law
passed in 1899 which places the county
superintendent in office in August in
stead of January.
The Omnibus bill, No. 442, provides
that the county auditor shall in
all cases of the formation of new
school districts or the alteration of
boundaries of old districts by the COM
missioners, certify such action to the
assessor and county superintendent.
In Union districts, composed of three
or more districts, the chairmen of the
several districts shall be the board of
such union district, and their powers
are also increased. The qualification
Of the state board of education has
been changed so members must hold a
life diploma issued by this state. The
county superintendent is given author
ity to print and issue circulars of infor-
nation pertaining to the schools of
this county for the use of the schools
and the officers, and he is to be the
judge of the amount necessary and not
the commissioners. In all counties
above the eleventh class the mileage of
county superintendent has been raised
from five to ten cents For the pur-
pose of adopting text books in the
future, if the Gunderson bill, No 80, is
vetOed) the board shall consist of the
state superintendent, the four members
appointed by the governor, and the
superintendent of the six largest cities
in the state. The union districts, by
their board, may levy special tax
not to exceed three mills ON the dollar,
and the levying of such special tax by
the union board shall not prevent the
board or electors ofany separate dis
trict within the union from levying a
tax not to exceed ten mills. The state
school tax has been raised 25 per cent.
or from So to $40 per capita, and the
levy from four to five mills. Districts
may provide for one or more kinder
garten schools, also the county attor-
ney shall act as attorney for the super
lntendent in all court proceedings re-
lating to the compulsory attendance of
children at school as required by law.
House Bill, No. 1874, provides that
any teacher who shall wilfully violate
the terms of contract with the school
district, or as is often the case, abandon
one school for better offer, without
giving thirty days notice and securing
consent of the directors, or excuse of
permanent sickness, shall forfeit GER
tificate and be barred from teaching
for the school wear.

Slot Machines Must Go.

Gov. Rogers has signed the celebrated
Rines bill prohibiting the operation
and playing of all nickel-in-the-slot
machines, both trade paying and cash
paying, and the bill on June IA become
a law. There being no emergency
clause in the act, it does not, under the
constitution, become operative until
ninety days after the adjournment of
the legislature.
The bill is extremely sweeping in it's
provisions. 1t is clearly drawn and at
torneys say, who have examined it
that it is flawless. Itsprovisions are as
follows:
ANY person who shall conduct,
maintain or operate, either as own
er or owners, proprietor or proprietors,
lessee or lessees, employee or employees,
agent or agents, or who shall play or
use any nickel-in-the-slot machine or
other device of like character, wherein
there enters any element of chance,
whether the same be played or operated
or operated for money, checks, credits
or any other thing representative of
value shalllbe guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction, shall be punish
able by fine of not less than $40 nor
more than 500, and in default of the
fine imposed shall be imprisoned in
the county jail one day for each So
| thereof.
"In all prosecutions under the act
for conducting, maintaining and oper-
ating any such machine or device,
proof of the possession of such machine
or device, or of permitting the same to
be OF remain in any public place owned
or controlled by the person so prose
cuted convenient for use shall be prima
facie evidence against such person OF
the violation of this act.
Gone half of the fine imposed in any
conviction under the act shall be paid
to the person who is the private prose
cutor in the case, and the other half
shall be paid into the county treasury
of the county wherein such conviction
was secured, for the benefit of the
school fund.
Justices of the peace shall have
current jurisdiction with the superior
court in all offenses arising under this
act.n

then the Viscaya. the Teresa having
fallen off and gone in shore, seeking a
berth. As o as we were around at
n proper position the helm was
raised so that we paralleled the course
Of the Viscaya which at that time was
about 2,400 or $500 yards on our star
board bow. The Colon was probably on
the beam or a little forward OF the
beam; the Oquendo abaft the ~starboard
beam. The Oquendo very o fell out
and ran ashore on fire, and then we de-
voted our attention solely to the Colon
and the Viscaya."
The jude advocate: How near was
the Texas to the Brooklyn when the
latter crossed her boW?'
Il suppose it was about $50 to 300
yards"
Have you ever given estimates as
other than that?"
Yes sir"
"What have you given before?"
$50 yards"
why do you change it now?"
Because 1 have read from my notes
written the day after the battle and
from notes I used on the board of nav
igators. I concluded from hose that
my estimate at that time when L gave
it $50 to $50 yards was too ear Also,

thought that the navigating officer Of
the Texas would nc think it was less
than $50 yards"

was said about blanketing the fire Of
the Texas at that time?"

thought we would u into the Texas I
think l did say that we might get a
shot from one of her big guns"
Have you ever said that you were
'skittish' about a collision with the
Texas at this timer"

thought we were going to have a col
