e. Byrnes, George Finn, land clerk in

matters resolution should be introduced
in both houses to-day authorizing the sec
rotary of the interior to award the state

tions in the Chippewa reservation upon
completion of the surveys Of public lands
in the state.
: The resolution was, drawn and intro
duced in the senate by Mr.. Clapp and in
the house by Mr.. Eddy In order that

offer Brooke as a compromise candidate
for governor in the state and end the bit
ter factional strife which has been rend-
ing the republican organization. Gen
eral Brooke will be retired on account OF
age in July and would accepts guberna-
torial nomination.. At present Quay is
nominally supporting Judge Pennypacker
for governor.
