Registration in Omaha.

Total, first day, 1900 ...................10,e ,e24
Two precincts missing
While the total registration Of voters in
the city of Omaha yesterday was greater
than It was the first day OF registration last
year, It falls several thousand short Of the
returns for the first day of two years ago.
II will be remembered that the falling
of last year from the figures for the pre-
ceding year was tremendous, and judging
from yesterdays returns the loss scored in
1901 is not to be made up this year by
several thousands
OF course, it must be borne in mind that
1900 was a presidential year and an extra
effort was made to get the voters regis
tered early. and last year a decrease in
the number of registered voters was to be
expected but the extent Of the falling of
was a great deal more than any Of the
party managers could account for.
The returns for the first registration day
Of this year indicate that the reduction
in the vote this year from that of 1900 will
be nearly as large as was the decrease of
last year. Yesterday was a bright and
cheerful day, and the light registration can
not be put onto the weather by the party
managers. The returns are as follows:

LAND TITLES ARE INVOLVED
Test Cnse IN No. I supreme Court
Affecting Patents TO Thirty
Million Acres.

WASHINGTON, oct 16.-Argument was
begun in the United States supreme court
today in the case OF Nelson VS. The North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, Hon. j..
Hamilton Lewis appearing for Nelson and
Messrs. G. w. Bum and j. B. Kerr for the
railroad company.
The case is a test one and is intended
to determine the point as to whether pat
ents granted to the railroad company are
valid in cases in which the companys map
OF definite location was fled subsequently
to settlement, the land having previously
been withdrawn from settlement in accord
ance with an order from the Interior de-
partment Mr.. Lewis says that about 3O,-
900 600 acres of land will be affected by
the decision in the case.
The ca Of George Tsukamoto was sub
mitted without oral argument. Tsukamoto
is japanese laundryman doing business
In San Francisco, who recently made ap-
plication for a permit to put a steam
boiler in his plant.
This request was refused by the city
authorities and Tsukamoto alleges that the
refusal was due to his nationality as per-
mission similar to that sought by him had
been granted to others. The present legal
proceeding was instituted to compel the
authorities to permit the boiler TO be set
up. The case was decided against him by
the circuit court for the northern district
Of California and an appeal was then taken
to the supreme court.
The court also heard argument in the
case of the American School of Magnetic
Healing VS. ]. NJ. McAnnulty, postmaster at
Nevada, Mo. The case turns upon the con-
stitutionality of the right of the postoffice
department to refuse to deliver mail to
the school on the ground Of fraud.
