The official mail from Venezuela was re-

charge d'affaires here, but the expectation
that 1t might throw some light on recent
affairs connected with Minister Loomis
was not realized. Mr.. Pulido said that no
reference was made to the subjects which
have engaged public attention of late. I'm
der these circumstances there was no occa-
sion for a call at the State Department, as
all affairs relating to the American minis

1t is the understanding here that the
cabinet downfall in Denmark has not af-
fected the negotiations which have been
running on for some time past looking to
the acquisition by the United States of the
Danish West Indian Islands. So far as is
known here the cession was not an issue
in the elections. and their only effect upon
the negotiations may he to delay them for
time owing to a change in the cabinet.

cording to marine law the draw would

over under $4,000 bonds to appear
at the next term OF the district court
on the charge of horse stealing.
Macbeth furnished bonds and is at
liberty, but his hearing under two
similar charges will come off this
week. This is a continuation OF the
cases brought by the Missouri River
Stockmen's association to break up
agang Of thieves who for years have
been carrying on extensive cattle
and horse stealing operations. The
prosecution claims that Macbeth has
for years been acting as a fence for
the rustlers of this section and has
grown rich in the business. Until
recently he was a partner Of Chas.
Seaman, who is reported the wealth
lest ranchman in the state. Mac
beth has been under suspicion for
several years, but the Stockmen's
association has not considered the
evidence strong enough to convict
until now. He is putting upa strong
fight, and it is alleged that he and
many employees and friends are try
ing to intimidate witnesses by
threats OF personal violence. Sew
eral fights have taken place over the
matter and threats Of shooting have
been common"

Wyoming Lease Law.

A dispatch from Laramie Wyo.,
says: In the case OF Fillmore against
Reed, growing out Of the leasing Of
school lands by the State Board of
Land Commissioners in the district
court here, last week, the board was
assailed. One section Of the state
constitution says that the board
shall consist OF the governor, secre-
tary Of state, treasurer and superin-
tendent of public instruction. An
other section says the board shall
consist Of the governor, secretary OF
state and superintendent of public
instruction, leaving the treasurer
out. The treasurer has I've served
and the question is, is he a member
of the board and if he is a member,
are the acts of the board legal?
The question is one of the most
important ever raised in Wyoming
for, if it is shown that the acts Of
the board are illegal, the vast land
leasing business of the state will be
upset. The board has leased mill,
IONS of acres of land and the outcome
Of the matter will lie awaited with
interest.
