New York, Jan. "A cablegram to
the Sun from London says: 1t is stat
ed that American capitalists will in
augurate in May a system of high.
speed steamers on the Thames between
Woolwich and Kew. Several British
companies have already bankruptel
themselves by operating inferior river
boats, and for years the service has
been the subject Of much complaint.
The agent of these American capital
lists, William Root, a New York at.
torney. now here, says his principals
are prepared to spend 100000 on the
scheme. They are now negotiating
with the Thames Conservancy Board
which controls the trafilc on the river
and has frequently proved an obstruc
tive body.

Action for Damages.

w. G. Porter, assistant United States
attorney for South Dakota, has filed a
suit in the federal court here against
Odo Reder, a prominent Black Hills
man, and the Black Hills Lumber Com
pany, Of which he is the president, for
the recovery of S336643, the amount
claimed to be due the government for
timber unlawfully cut by Reder and his
company from public lands ofthe United
States. The timber was cut at point
about seven and one half miles north
west of Custer during the months of De-
cember. 1897, and January and February,
1898. Early in 1898 Reder was arrested
and a United States grand jury indicted
him for cutting the timber on mineral
location He however, was able to
prove that the timber was not cut on a
mineral location, but on public lands,
and, owing to this technicality, the case
against him was dismissed in July,
1893. 1t has now been brought on the
allegation that the timber was cut from
public lands belonging to the United
States.-Sioux Falls Argus. Leader.

Must Remove Fences.

According to reports from Washington,
Commissioner Herman of the general
land Office has rejected the request Of
Representative Burke, asking the re-
vocation of the order made directing
forestry officers to remove fences
which have been erected upon the pub
lie domain by sheep and cattle owners.
MIR. Burke complained that the order is
unnecessarily harsh and works hard
ship to stockmen who cannot secure
pasturage for cattle. While admitting
that the order ia in compliance with
law, the representative believes that it
could be modified without injury.
While declining to modify the order,
the commissioner has submitted the
question to Secretary Hitchcock. The
commissioner holds that the course pur-
sued in South Dakota is the same that
has been found necessary in other Sec
tions in order to check the evil which
has existed of stockmen fencing thous-
ands OF acres of pasture lands and ex-
cluding the stock of settlers who live in
the immediate vicinity. Similar orders
by the commissioners have been sustain
ed by the secretary OF the interior, and
the impression at the department is that
the present order relating to fences in
South Dakota will also be permitted to
stand.

Decision on Script,

The commissioner of the government
land Office. in decision rendered May
Is, lays down the principle that occu-
pied land is not subject to forest lien
land script location, and that in such
cases the question as to whether the
land involved is of a mineral or non
mineral character IL not material.
AS an affidavit asserting that the lard
desired is unoccupied is one OF the pre-.
requisites to forest script location, the
above principle is not new condition
imposed, but simply makes it more def.
mite. Any land already occupied. il
matters not what the occupation ofthose
residing upon it may be, Is not subject
to forest scrip location. The mineral
or non-mineral character of the land in.
yolyed Is immaterial, because. If It ID
occupied that fact invalidates the forest
reserve script location.
As great many oil script locations
have actually been made when there
were wells upon tha lands located, this
decision will be of consi derAble import.
