the government regarding the battle
of Vladfontein, and other military

question regarding the accuracy or
otherwise of the recent Boer report
that the British were severely de-
feated near Pretoria, May 2, losing 46

SETTLERS LOSE HOMES.
Decision of Minnesota. Supreme Court
FavOrs Contention of RUS
sell Sage.

st. Paul, Mimi, June . 3.-Justice
Lewis, of the supreme court, has
filed decision which will result in
several Stearns county. settlers los
ing their homes, title to. which was
contested by Russell Sage as as
signee in trust of the Hastings d Da-
kota Railway company.
Under the act of congress of June
4, 1866, the Hastings & Dakota Rail-
way company completed its road
within the time as extended by the
Minnesota legislature. When the
road was complete there was found
to be a deficiency in the primary
grant limits of about 100000 acres
and only 10000 acres available in the
indemnity limits to make up the
loss and in consequence all the lands
in the indemnity limits were Sc
lected.
After the completion of the road
and the land selection the roads
franchise was forfeited by judg-
ment and later it's property trans
ferred to Sage for the benefit of the
stockholders.
Judge Lewis holds that the settlers
who entered upon the lands after
they had been withdrawn from set
Element are not in position to at
tack Sage's title to lands earned by
the completion of the road and Sc
cured to him by transfer which the
court holds to be valid.
While only few hundred acres
were directly involved in this case,
the decision involves the validity Of
the entire grant.

reached to regard the Porto Ricans as
entitled to the protection conveyed
by an American passport, but for
NAL decision of the test case was

of the application. The Foraker act

same privilege to the inhabitants of
the Philippines.

! The United States statutes prohibit

American citizens. But these later
acts, the Foraker act and the Spoon

turn which may be regarded as quail,
flying the original act, and may en-
able the government to avoid deci-
