STIRS UP DIVORCED PERSONS.
Decision of the Supreme Court Re-
HardinR Residence.

A dispatch from Fargo n. D., says: AS
a result of the United States Supreme Court
decision declaring invalid divorces granted
in this state in which residence was not
bona fide, there came a food OF kilograms
today from those likely to be affected. II is
believed that. owing to the practice of rush
ing home Immediately after DEGREES were
granted, less than 10 per cent of the di-
vorces allowed during the recent divorce
period would be found valid II contested
But of those secured a large percentage
were agreed cases, where appearance was
made by both parties. Comparatively few
had bitter contests. and only I'm these can
the question of residence be raised. Many
of the latter class. however, included dis
tinguished fasteners and foreigners. A
majority of these have remarked, and the
decision of the court not only affects their
present status. but the legitimacy of many
children born subsequently to second mar
riages. This makes the courts finding far
reaching and creates great anxiety.
Applicants for divorces have always been
warned against abandoning their residences
so hurriedly. but much of the trouble has
been caused by divorce bureaus, operated
by INSCRIPTIONS local attorneys. with
branch offices in the east. A ma jority of the
victims have been from New York. al
though New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the
New England states are well represented.
Notwithsta anding that twelve months resi-
dence is now required, there are number
of applicants here at present.

According to a dispatch to the Morning
Leader from Tien Tsin Boxers have de-
stroyed twenty miles of railway at Lu-Ean,
near Pao-Ting-Fu.
DIR. Morrison, wiring to the Times from
Pekin. says:
AT the meeting of the ministers of the
powers today 1t was decided to adopt the
recomnl endation of Mr. Rockhill, giving ef
feet to article i Of the joint note, concern
ing the reform of the tsung Ii yamen and
the modification of the court ceremonial.
1t was agreed that in place of the tsung Ii
yamen there shall be a wal wa ru. or
board of foreign affairs, having precedence
over other boards. 1t is to consist of
president, who shall be an imperial prince.
and of two ministers, one being president
of board and the other member of the
grand council, with direct access to the en-
peror. There will also be two vice minis
ters having knowledge of foreign affairs
one Of them speaking a foreign language.
with regard to court ceremonial. the
ministers of the powers, when about to be
received in audience, will be conveyed fin
imperial chairs to the palace through the
central gateways, and be received in the
halls where the emperor is accustomed to
entertain the imperial princes: and they
will be shown honor equal to that shown by
European soveregns to foreign ambassa-
doris"
'Pourparlers are proceeding between Rus
Sla and Japan" says the Odessa corre-
spondent of the Standard land it is eX-
pected that the result will be the conclu-
sion of pacific agreement regarding Co
rea. No explanation, however is vouch-
safed as to how the European powers and
the United States are to be propitiated and
reconciled to such modus vivendi, found
ed upon the wreck of Corean indepen-
dencc"
The Pekin correspondent of the Daily
Mail says he thinks the aggregate of the
indemnities demanded by the powers will
not be reduced below $4,000. 600, and adds
that "it cannot be too strongly pointed out
how serious danger would result from too
excessive a reduction of claims
IF the powers fail to recoup their actual
outlays.' he says, they are likely to seek
compensation by separate secret arrange
ments with Pekin, which would infallibiy
lead to grave complications

row.
Speaking of the commissary scandals a.
prominent army officer said to the repre-
sentative of the Associated Press that he
had every reason to believe that Col. Wood
ruff. head of the subsistence depart nent at
Manila, was not implicated. He said that
Col. Woodruff was one of the ablest men in
the service, and that his honesty was un-
questioned. He asserted that Col Wood
ruff was ignorant of the fact that Harold
NJ. Pitt, manager of Evans & Co. the army
contractors, was leasing him the house in
which he lived for much less rental than
Pitt had paid therefor. Upon discovering
this. Col. Woodruff Immediately vacated
the house. Pitt is alleged to have said that
Capt. Read of the commissary department
deceived Col. Woodruff, who thought Cant
Read to be thoroughly honest
The irregularities in conmissary matters
We're first attributed to Capt. Reads un-
familiarity with conmissary work. Col.
Woodruff was reluctant to believe that
frauds were being perpetrated but the
facts disclosed caused him to give Can't,
Read most severe reprimand and to begin
an investigation winch may involve, ac-
cording to the prominent army officer pre-
viously referred to; the examination of
Capt. Davis, who was the depot commits
sary before Capt. Read. but who was sent
home on sick leave.
The chief of staff of the insurgent Gen.
Mascardo has surrendered at the town of
Marivales In Bataan province, Luzon. He
said that Mascardos band of followers
now greatly diminished, are in a bad way.
1t is impossible for them to elude the
Americans; they are unable to obtain food,
and want to surrender. 1t is expected that
Gen. Mascardo himself will surrender
shortly.
1t is intimated that an official announce
ment regarding the disposition of Aguinal-
do will soon be made

The TRIBE NOT RESPONSIBLE.
An Interesting Decision Regarding Depre-
dations by Indians,

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE United
States supreme court today decided the
two cases involving the question Of the
responsibility of an entire tribe of In
dians for depredations committed by
organized bands composed of members
of the tribe, holding that in such case
there is no liability. One OF these cases
was that of Montoya, and involved the
responsibility for the operations of Vie
torio's band of Apaches, and the other
that OF Connors involving the depreda-
tion of Dull Knife's band of Cheyennes
both occurring Is or 20 years ago, the
first occurring in New Mexico the other
in Kansas. The opinion was handed
down by Justice Brown and held that as
the bands in both cases were strong
enough to break away from their re-
srective tribes and defy the United
States government as they did, the tribes
as whole could not In equity be held
for their misdeeds.

| Skene, of Topeka, Kan, contractors OF
| the Santa Fe cutoff, have set ten mer
to work at the stone quarry near Wal
do, and will have from ten to fift IN
! men employed for the next four months
The stone quarries of this section are
quite an important industry, as we
have the finest of building stone in un-

good demand at home and abroad.
Two shifts of men are being worked

ARID LAND LEGISLATION.
The Secretary Of the Interior Favors an
Amendment TO the Gary Act,


The secretary of the interior has
transmitted to the senate committee on
public lands favorable report upon
Senator Warrens amendment to the
sundry civil service appropriation bill,
providing for extending ten years the
period in which lands may be segrega.-
ed and reclaimed under the Carey ar..l
land act.
In his report Secretary Hitchcock
states that the grant of land to the
states under the Carey act was de-
parture from former legislation, and In
a measure experimental. The law has
been attended with good results, but
the work involved in irrigation an
reclamation Of large tracts of land
shows that the act did not allow suffi-
cient time for completion Of many er
terprises undertaken under 1t.
The proposed amendment provides
that the period Of ten years in which
reclamation shall be accomplished shall
commence to run from the date of =
gregation, instead Of from the date Of
the original act. If the amendment Is
adopted, each state affected can fron
time to time obtain segregations OF arid
lands under the grant until the full
amount of 100000 acres Is obtained,
and in each segregation the full ten
years. time may be taken for reclame-
tfon.
The house committee on irrigation 10.
day continued its hearings on arid land
reclamation. Further hearings will be
held Tuesday, and western members In
terested believe that a bill framed
mainly along the lines Of the Newlands
measure. explained In these dispatches.
will be favorably reported.

AN INTERVIEW
WITH RIPLEY
A Denial of Rumored Consolidation
with the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific System.
NO ABSORPTION EITHER
E. P. Ripley, President of the Atohison,
Topeka & Santa Pe System, Tells New
York Reporters About the Railroad
Situation in the Southwest.

New York, February 11.-President E
P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe railway, is
at the Hotel Netherlands, and will be
day. II heard" he said, that there
I have been many reports in Wall street
to the effect that there will be in tn,
near future another move in consoll1-
tion of y. Il Germ roads, which will in.
clude the absorption of the Atchison,
| Topeka & Santa Fe by some other road.
You may state no step of this nature
| has been or is being considered
| Asked if his visit to New York was
| arranged for the purpose of conferrlng
with Charles M. Hayes, president of the
Southern Pacific, Mr.. Ripley said: "Our
| coming to New York within a few days
of each other is mere coincidence,
without any significance whatever.
had no idea that Hayes was here until
| read of his arrival in the papers.
shall probably meet him here. We shall
no doubt talk over number of inter-
esting questions together but there will
be nothing said on the subject of alb
sorption or consolidation"
Mr.. Ripley added that the report that
there would soon be consolidation be-
tween the Atchison and the Rock is
land was news to him. "Of course, there
Is nothing in the rumor," he continued;
"every one has the subject of consoli-
dation on their mind just now. The i'm
agination of the public has been So
worked up Of late that rumors of the
most shadowy sort are credited in some
quarters"
Several days ago a Rock Island ofll-
cial said the Rock Island would build |
its branch road from Kansas City to !
Liberal Kan, on to Santa Rosa, N. Nj, |
and would in a year or two connect |
with the Ell Paso & Northeastern rail- |,
way. He added that traffic arrange-
ment with the Southern Pacific would |
be made so that the Rock Island trains |
could be run on to San Francisco from |
Ell Paso over the Southern Pacific |
tracks. He was asked If this plan would i
seriously affect the Atchison interests, |
and Mr. Ripley said: IT do not think
this arrangement would hurt the busl.
ness of our road in any way. The Rock
Island takes away from us few cattla
to packing cities, but its competition is
not dangerous by any means. 7 do not
think it likely that we shall build a
branch road in New Mexico to connect
with the Rock Island when it's proposed
extension has been com
pleted. We have our own business in
the regions which are dependent upon
us. We are so strong and prosperous
that there is no danger of our being
forced into any amalgamation or com.
munity of interests by the scheme. The
outlook in the southwest is favorable
FOR splendid crops next season. There
has been plenty OF rain and much snow
has fallen"
