In FAVOR OF WOODS.
Interior Department Sustaias His
Claim to Land Near LaWton.
The Secretary Holds the Entry to
BE No Violation OF the Letter
or Spirit Of the Law Gov.
ernfnE the Contest.

Washington, Aug. SIN the con-
test case of J. L. Calvert against
James r. Woods, coming from the
Lawton, Ok, land district, and in
TOlving entry No. 1, the acting sec
rotary Of the interior has rendered a
decision refusing to order a hearing
on the case The charges upon
which the contest was founded were
substantially that Woods entry was
made in violation of the homestead
law by reason OF its location on the
south line of the town of LawtOn,
and that the entry embraces a tract
a mile long and only quarter of a
mile wide, and was so taken for
speculative purposes and not FOR
agricultural purposes, and that the
entry was made at a time when there
were large number of tOwnsite set
tiers on the land who occupied it for
trade and business purposes.
The decision holds that the selec-
ton and entry of land adjacent to
the town of LawtOn was not In viO-
lation of the letter or spirit of the
law and that the fact that there may
have been alleged townsite settlers
on the land at the time he made his
entry does not affect Woods right
of entry The land was not subject
to appropriation for tOwnsite Pur-
poses, nor was any person author
lied to enter upon it or occupy it
for purposes of trade or business, and
no such occupancy could operate to
defeat his right to enter. 1t is fur
Their held in the opinion that Woods
entry is not bad on account of the
form of the tract embraced; that the
special provisions Of the act of Nay
?, 1890, do not control in this matter,
but that the general provisions of the
homestead law do. The secretary
saws that under the act of June 6,
1900, making provision for the disPO-
sition of these lands, it is directed
that they shall be disposed of under
the general provisions of the home
stead and townsite laws of the
United States and that under this
law Woods location is valid.

not observable to the spectators who
lined the sidewalks, was the union la

RUSSIA CONTROLS
IHh SITUATION
Diplomat Says Her Assurance
Should be Respected
Declares Only Desire Of the Gar Is
to Prevent Repetition Of The
Boxer Troubles

Washington, April 4.--Creat inter-
est was manifested Ia official and diplo-
matte circles today over the press re-
port from Pckin that the Chinese final
ly had determined not to sign the Man
churian agreement No official infor-
nation had reached this government or
the principal foreign embassies. To
the Russian ambassador, Count Cas-
sini, the news came as a great sur
prise, as he had hoped for q successful
conclusion of the convention. Rus
sia, he said, had informed the Chinese
government that she did not mean to
take Manchuria and that her desire
was to make such arrangements as
would avoid the repetition in the fu-
ture Of the Boxer troubles of last sum-
mer. The ambassador declined, in the
absence of official advices, to indicate
what probably would be the future
course Of his government
Russia in a measure at least, con-
trolls the situation in Manchuria, as
she has possession of the country, and
the great mass of her soldiers now in
Asia are within that territory. China
having refused the terms specified by
Russia, the Russians assert she may
take her own good time and retire from
the country whenever she is inclined
to do so. She has proclaimed to the
world that her intentions regarding
Manchuria are entirely honorable that
the proposed agreement was purely
temporary and not intended TO impair
the sovereignty of China or to injure
the interests of the other powers"
Such being the case 1t was suggested
by a diplomat that the powers must
have confidence in the honesty of the
Russians The suggestion also is made
that perhaps the Russians may attempt
to obtain a further modification Of the
proposed agreement with China, or
may seek to obtain from the powers
opposed to it in its present form the
points of objection held by them with
a view TO the preparation OF a future
document that will overcome many Of
these objections, and assume without
any eQuivOcation whatsoever the alb
solute integrity Of the Chinese empire
and render it free from any entangle-
ments that may menace It as the re-
suit of such agreements. The United
States was firm in the opinion that #
was inexpedient for the Chinese gov
ernment to enter into a treaty with any
of the powers interested in the present
! status OF the Chinese situation pending
! the general settlement of the matters
at issue, and this position, backed by
/ the views Of other governments, it is
felt here has been an important fac
tor with the imperial government in
! determining It's attitude upon the Rus
sian government.
