ACCORDING TO THE LAW

Kingfsher. o. T. Aus. 1Z-CoIonel
Jacob Admire. for many years register
Of land office at Kingnsher and a man
Of much experience in the land laws. in
discussing the Woods case in his paper
The Free Jress. says:
Mr. Woods, who drew the right to make
the first entry Of land in the Lawton
land district. has been denounced as a
hog. and the people have settled down
TO the conviction that he IS one. How
ever that may be, whether he is a hog or
not-there is another view Of his case
which has been limited at, but not publicly
discussed. The legality Of Mr.. Woods
entry is yet TO be settled.
The acts Of congress which provide for
the opening of the Wichita. and the
Kiova. Comauche and Apache lands 70
Eattement provide. in each case. that
these lands shall be disposed of under
the general provision OF the homestead
and t0wnsite laws of the United States"
and there are no pT 5visoins In either Of
those cast modifying in any manner the
form IN which these lands may be selected
by the homestead entryman. The home
Etead laws generally require lands to be
selected in square form as nearly as
may be-" Section - of the act Of May
2, 1890, winch provided for "a temporary
government for The Territory of Okla
8 homa. etc, contains the following pro-
vision:
All persons who shall settle on land in
said territory under the provision Of the
homestead laws Of the United States. and
OF this act. shall be required TO select the
same in square form as nearly as may
be" In the circular Of the general land
Office issued July II, 1893. the department
holds thst "the provision in section 90 Of
the act oil May @ 1890. that all homestead
entries for lands within said territory
shan be in square form as nearly as may
Ue. has reference to the purpose and in
tent of the homestead laws generally,
contemplating entries by quarter sections.
which are in square form, when this is
practicable, etc.
Now. there was no other reason than
Z hoggish one. why Mr.. Woods should
not have selected his land in a square
form. and just why the local officers
permitted him to violate this plan pro-
vision Of the law is not apparent In
stead o1 taking one cf the quarter sec
tious adjoining the town on the south,
and the only two quarters SO located
subject to entry. he was permitted to
select two Sd acre tracts covering and
controlling the entire length Of the Law
ton townsite. which does not constitute
a body Of land in square form. but. in
stead thereof. 1r Woods land is in the
form OF q paralIelogram so rods wide and
q 0rods long, and Miss Meals was per-
mittod 10 make her selection in the same
form. which was rally the only "prac-
1ieabIe thing left Cor her to do. From
the foreSotng. statement the conclusion
that Mr. Woods entry IS in violation Of
both the letter and spirit of the law,
seems 30 be entirely reasonable.

FOR CHINESE EXCLUSION.


San Francisco Nov. 23.--The Chi
nese exclusion convention, composed
of 5000 delegates, representing the
state, county and city governments
and industrial and civic organizations
in all parts of California, yesterday
adopted resolutions demanding the
continuance of existing treaties with
China and the rc-enactment OF the
Geary exclusion law. As a supple
mental report the committee on reso-
lutions presented statement, which
was adopted, recognizing the menace
to the industrial conditions of the
rapidly-increasing number of Japan
ese and other Asatic emigrants and
asking that the matter be referred
to the executive committee, with in
structions to take such steps as may
be necessary to secure all possible
protection in the evils set forth.
The convention also adopted q
memorial stating at length the rea-
sons why the continued restriction
Of Chinese and other Asiatic immi-
grafton Is demanded by the people
of the Pacific coast.

TIE YUKON PLOT.
The Story Of the Conspiracy That IVES
Nipped In the Bud from Canadian
Ohicial Reports.

Toronto, Ont, Nov. IA special
dispatch from Ottawa says: Tho
story Of the Yukon plot, based upon
official reports to the minister Of tho
interior, il as follows: About three
weeks ago the police at Dawson, un-
der the direction Of Superintendent
Woods, Swallowed a man whom they
deemed a suspicious character. The
police got into this mans confidence,
and he finally disclosed plot, which
he said had been formed by people
at Skagway and Seattle. The idea
was to rush the posts in the lower
part Of the Yukon and then take
possession Of the country. The con-
spirators reckoned upon tho Ameri.
can citizens in the Yukon not assist
Ing the Canadian authorities, so that
the raid, in their opinion, would be
comparatively an easy matter.
News Of the plot was quickly sent
from Dawson to White Horse, and
the police there soon had under sur
veillance all suspicious characters.
The headquarters Of the conspiracy
was located at Skagway and 1t was
ascertained who the characters asso-
ciated with it were and whore the
papers bearing upon the plot were
kept.
There was nothing, however, to
show any overt act Of treason to the
United States or Canada, consequent
ly the authorities could not take any
proceedings. Canadian officers went
down to Skagway, nevertheless, and
consulted with United States officers
and concerted action was agreed
upon in case Of necessity. In the
meantime the parties connected with
the plot are closely watched.
