A r LANDS IN DEMAND
HOW THE NORTHERN PART OF
THE STATE HAS BEEN SETTLED
. SINCE 1893.

HOW THE NORTHERN PART OF
THE STATE HAS BEEN SETTLED
S.. SINCE 1893.
In 1893, when the Great Northern
road began in earnest the work OF
bringing immigration into North Da-
kota, there was approximately eight
million acres of government lands in
the counties of Walsh, Pembina, Ram
sey and the counties west of these to
and including Ward. says the CONNER
cial West. Up to January |, 1902,
there had been taken up Of these lands
approximately 100000 acres. Prac-
tically no government lands now re-
main untaken in any county, except a
little rough land in the Turtle Noun
tains, Bottineau county, some sandy
sections in McHenry county and some
arid grazing lands in the southwest Of
stead act that this 5y30O.0OO acres Of
government land was occupied, which
means that no one family got more
than 100 acres. This indicates that
about 81, 200 families have thus taken
homes in this section of North Dakota
in the last eight years. This does not
include the thousands of families that
have taken up residence on land sold
by private owners. In this territory
there was no large railroad land grant
to be held out of general settlement,
so that now these counties are reason
ably we'll settled, as northwestern farm
settlement goes. 1t is this wiping out
of free government lands northwest
that has done much to raise values of
northwest.

| ISTHMTAN CANAL DISCUSSION. Senator Hanna Declares No Political Considerations Are Involved.

Washington, June 6,-After transact ing some routine business to-day the senate resumed consideration of the isthmian canal ball, MT. Hanna of Ohio, continuing his argument in support of the Panama canal. The Ohio senator declared that no political considera- tions were involved in the canal prob- lem. He presented the opinion of eighty-three ship masters and pilots in favor of the Panama route as against the Nicaragua route, for many reasons which they cited,
 He urged that the construction of Nicaragua canal was beset with un- known difficulties and while the con- struction of the Panama Calan was "an open book" He laid streess on the dan- ger to the Nicaragua route from volca- noes, urged that it was not good business policy to ignore those dangers in project involving an expenditure of $200 100000. MT. Hanna appealed to senate to consider the matter as a bus mess proposition and, with some feeling repudiated the su"~estions that those favoring the Panama route are not in favor of any canal.

1NII-4N4RCHIST BILL.
RichardsoD, of Alabama, Attacks Presf-
 dent for Memorial Day Address.

Washington, June 6.-General debate on the anti-anarchy bill closed to-day. The incident of the debate was a speech by MT. Richardson, an Alabama demo- crat condemning the president in se- were terms for the references in his Memorial day oration at Arlington to the epithets applied to Lincoln and Grant during the civil war, and for his allusions to lynchings. He declared that the presidents remarks violated the proprieties of the occasion.
 MT Littlefield made legal argument of an hour and a half in closing the de- bate on the anarchy bill. The section of the senate bill providing bodyguard for the president was stricken from the senate bill as a precaution in case the house substitute failed An effort was made to strike from the first section of the substitute the words limiting the crime of killing the president to the president in his official capacity but the motion was lost, 63 to S9. Only one section had been disposed of when the house adjourned.

ROOT SOMEWHAT SARCASTIC.
His Answer to Criticism of Compensa
 ton of SI5,OoO to Gen. Wood.

Washington, June GA letter from the secretary of war appears in the re- port submitted to-day by Chairman Hull of the house military committee, adverse to the resolution of MT. Bart lett, of Georgia, asking for informa tion as to the compensation paid General Leonard Wood while governor-general of Cuba Secretary Root states that Secretary Alger made an allowance to Cuba of $7,500 a year and then con- tinues:.
 "There has been no change since that time, except that when General Wood s commission as major-general of volun- teers expired I made an order for fur ther allowance, equal to the difference between the salary of major-generaI and brigadier-general, the combined compensation received as an officer of the army and as governor of Cuba to be always $15,O0O per annum."
 Secretary Root says that this has been fully made known to congress in former reports and neither house has made an objection.
 Secretary Root says in his letter as to the legal phases of the subject: q should hardly suppose that the house of representa- tives would wish to adopt a resolution which implies ignorance on it's part of the authority of the presi- dent ot the United States, under the law of military occupation, to appro- priate and extend the revenues of the government of the occupied country

THOMAS I. KINNEY CHAIRMAN.
Elected by Democratic Town Committee
 Last Night.

The democratic town committee held meeting at the Tontine hotel last night and elected Thomas I. Kinney chairman for the ensuing year. MT. Kinney was nominated for the position by Mr Dooley of the Eighth ward and James E. Kelleher of the Fiasf#ward seconded in neat speech in the course of which he spoke highly of MT Kin ney's fitness for the chairmanship at this time when he though the chances of democratic success were very bright with able leadership and hard work
 Another matter before the committee was the decision of the contest in the Eleventh ward where Thomas H. Flan- agan and John c. Healey claimed to have been elected members of the town committee. The committee after con- sdering the question decided that MT. Healey had been elected a mnber of the committee.
 It was unanimously voted to do all possible to secure the rejection of the proposed new constitution.
 It was voted to appoint committee to revise the primary rules, this com- mittee to report at the next meeting of the town convention. The committee will be appointed later.

.IUTOMOBTLE CASES.
Motion for Discharge of ". (. Baker
 and c. E. Denzer Overruled.

New York, June 6.--W. c. Baker and c. E. Denzer of Cleveland, were ar raigned before Magistrate Marsh in Stapleton, S l., to-day to answer a charge of homicide in having caused the death of Andrew Featherstone and John G. Bogart FeatherstOne was instantly killed in the accident that occurred at the automobile speed trials on the south shore boulevard on Saturday last, and Bogart died the next day from the eff fleets of his injuries MT. Baker was acting as driver, with MT. Denzer as assistant.
 The defendants were represented by George NT Pinney, formerly assistant district attorney of Richmond borough, and Warren Van Slyck, of New York. MT. Pinney argued that Magistrate Marsh had no Jurisdiction in the case. He said that the coroner's office had made an investigation and held an i1- quest, and that a jury had exonerated the defendants. In these circumstances he thought the matter ought to be dropped and the defendants discharged. This objection was overruled and the hearing was adjourned until Monday. The bail bonds-$1o.O00 in the case of Baker and $5,000 in Denzer's case-were continued.

NEW FRENCH MINISTRY.
Senator Combes Announces tho Per.
 sonnel of the Government.

Paris, June 6.-Senator Combes, pro-
 gressive republican and ex-vice presi- dent of the senate, who yesterday &C., cepted the task of forming new cab-
 inet, has been engaged all day to-day in conferring with political friends and
 tonight the formation of a ministry is assured.
 After meeting tonight which was
 attended by the gentlemen M Combes had asked to join the new cabinet, the following list of ministers was semi off ficially announced:
 M. Combes, premier, minister of the interior and of public worship; Senator Valle, minister of justice; M. Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs; General An
 dre, minister of war; Deputy Marue- jouls, who was minister of commerce in the Brisson cabinet, minister of marine; Senator Chaumie, public instruction; Deputy Pelletan, minister of colonies; Deputies Trouillot, who was minister of colonies in the Brisson cabinet, nin- ister of commerce; Deputy Mougeot, minister ot agriculture.
 Deputy Rouvier will probably accept the portfolio of minister of finance. M. .Combes will meet M. Rouvier again to- morrow in this connection, as he is very anxious to have him as financial minis ter. The difficulty of M. Rouvier's ac- ceptance lies in the question of the pro- gressive income tax, which the radicals have put in the front, rank of their pro- gramme, but which M. Rouvier opposes. M. Combes is endeavoring to arrange a compromise on this point
 The ministry thus formed has a very strong radical and radical-socialist ele- ment in it, M. Delcasse, M. Rouvier and M Chaumie representing the purely re- publican side.

STILL IN VIOLENT ERUPTION
MONT PELEE THROHS OUT ENOR
 NOUS SMOKE CLOUD.
The Spectacle Most Impressive but There Was No DetoBattons, No Elec- trtcal Display and No Shower of Ashes tense Gloom-Sea Rose NearIy Thrce Feet and Then Receded.

| Fort de France, June 6.--Mont Pelee 1 ing an enormous column of black smoke rose from the volcano to height esti-
 mated at four miles, and then spread rapidly into mushroon-shaped cloud, which appeared to have diameter of forty miles. The spectacle was most impressive, but there were no detona- tions, no electrical display and no showers of ashes. Fort de France has been shrouded in intense gloom like that which accompanies total eclipse of the sun.
 The most notable phenomenon to-day was that the sea rose nearly three feet, then fell to below it's normal level, and then returned to it's normal level. The cause of this rise and fall of the sea is |inexplicabe. The sky is now clear, but heavy surf Is ating on the coast.
 No reports of damage have been re- ceived. It is probable that the area of activity and destruction is the same as that of previous outbursts. This area is now completely abandoned.
 Professor Angelo Heilprin, president of the Philadelphia Geographic Society. and George Kennan noticed great outburst of yellow vapor from the vol cano yesterday when they were at Le Preoheur. These outbursts of yellow vapor seem to be positive precursors of severe eruptions.
 The explosion of this morning was ex- pected and watched for. There was consequently very slight panic among the people here, and quiet was soon re- stored.
 Island of St. Lucia, B. w. l., June G. A submarine explosion to-day caused the sea here to recede 250 feet on the beaches. It then returned to it's nor maj level. No damage was done The Soufriere volcano. on the Island of St. Vincent, is to-day reported to be quiet.
 Basse Terre, Island of St Christoph- CT B. w. l.. June 6-It grew very dark here this morning at 10:15 o'clock and lights had to be lighted. Very loud detonations were heard from the south ward.

MISS ROOSEVELT PRESENTED.
Fourth Court Season of King Edward and Queen Alexandria.

London June 6.--King Edward and Queen Alexandra held the fourth court of the season at Buckingham Palace to- night.
 Unfortunately as upon the three pre- vious occasions when court was held, rain and cold wind again marred the spectacle for the crowd which had as- sembled outside the palace gates. The scene within, however, was unusually brilliant. His majesty's bodyguard of gentlemen-at-ar was on duty in the state apartments; the yeomen of the guard were on duty within the palace, and a guard of honor selected from the Irish Guards was stationed in the quad- rangle.
 The costumes of the guests were more brilliant tonight. if this were possible. than at the previous courts, while va riety was added to the scene by the numerous gorgeously clad Indian princes present, whose jewels surpassed those of most of the ladies.
 Among those presented in the diplo- matic circle were Mrs. Montgomery Sears, of Boston, and Miss Helen Roose- welt, of New York. The Americans pre- sented in the general circle were Miss Ruth Hoe, of New York, Mrs. Eliza beth Warder of Washington, Miss FL frida Roosevelt, of New York, Mrs. w. c. Endicott of Boston, and Mrs. Ro- nalds

FRoVIDENCE TROLLEY STRIKE
Cars Called i'm to Avoid Repetition of
 Violence.

Providence, June 9.--The street rail- way strike tonight was robbed of any special feature which might have offer ed opportunity for a repetition of the scenes of violence of last night by the withdrawal of all cars from the United Traction company's system. Mounted men and scores of regular and special officers kept the thousands who filled the city streets in an orderly mood by the stern discipline enforced Many arrests were made.
 A conflict was looked for during the big parade of strikers in Pawtucket and for that reason large number of spec ial deputies were on hand, but their services were not needed. A body of motormen and conductors, fully 800, headed by a band, paraded and the pop ulation pretty generally turned out to witness the spectacle.
 As in Providence, all the cars were called in, so that the police force had not the serious difficulty of yesterday to contend with.
 The strikers were addressed by the international union officers at the close of the parade, and order was coun- selled.
 During the afternoon fewer cars were operated on several lines as the old em- ployes had been relieved at their own request fearing trouble. There were some instances of disturbance, but no serious injury was done to employees or equipment.
 Three men arrested last night for ob- structing cars were held to-day for hearing in the sum of S1000.

DENIED BY GENERAL MILES
HE DECLARES HE HAS BEEN MIS-
 QUOTED.
Did Not Say That He Had Been Ordsre d to Washington or That He Would Not Attend the Exercises at West Point Explanation of Ills Sudden Leaving of Fort Riley.

l Chicago, June 6.-General Miles left
 for Washington over the Pennsylvania
 road at 5:30. He was seen al the Audi torium by the Associated Press just be-
 fore he left and said;
 II have been misquoted, I did not say that I have been ordered to Wash ington. I did not say I would not at tend the exercises at West Point" General Miles refused to be further | interviewed.
 Washington, June 6.--The statement attributed to General Miles in Chicago to the effect that he has been called to Washington was exhibited to every of ficer of the war department, who could by any possibility have handled any
 order to General Miles and by each and all of them was positively denied. It is stated that no person connected with the administration has sent any order
 to General Miles from Washington since his departure on his present trip, nor
 has the war department communicated
 with him. The information is that any
 recall, such as referred to by General Miles, must have come from some of his
 personal friends or family.
 It is explained in one quarter that Lieutenant General Miles only desired to see that portion of the field gun tests at Fort Riley which took place the first day. After that he intended to come east again to West Point, stopping at Chicago to look into some private mat ters and again at Syracuse, N. Y, where an informal reception is to be rendered him by body of war veter- ans,
