iday morning to discuss y. IN him the
extension of his order which requires
fences upon the public domain to be
| Immediately taken down, and failing

ed in the courts.
After the situation had been consid-
cred pro and con, the president decided
that he would extend the time for the
removal of fences until July 1, and said
that the order would be issued imme-
diately after the cabinet meeting on
Thursday next. At the same time the
president made it clear that there
would be no further extension, whether
in individual cases or generally. The
feels it to be his duty to enforce it, and
the only reason for leniency now is that
it has stood so long practically as a
dead letter that there might be indiv-
ual cases of serious hardship should
the order be Immediately put into ef-
feet. The president also said that he
had numberless complaints from set
tiers and small cattlemen all over the
arid regions that their rights were en-
titled to the fullest sympathy Of the
executive.
Senator Patterson says that the pres
ident left no room to doubt that he
means precisely what he says about en-
forcing the order for the removal of
fences rigidly and impartially after
July /, and that it is quite well enough
for those who have fences to UNDER
stand that July will be the last day Of
grace.
Senator Gibson has introduced bill
authorizing the secretary of the inter-
ior to restore to public entry lands
embraced in whole or in part within
the segregations for reservoirs. The
bill provides that lands heretofore in
cluded within reservations for reser-
voir purposes, made in accordance with
the law approved October 2, 1888. and
subsequent acts, may, in the discretion
Of the secretary be thrown open to en-
try and settlement under the land
laws as though such reservations had
never been made, provided that 1T has
been ascertained by the secretary that
such lands are not needed for reservoir
purposes and cannot probably be used
in future for such purposes.
1t Is rumored at the capitol that an
attempt will be made to attach as an
amendment to the irrigation bill the
bill introduced by Representative
Grosvenor and reported from the COM
mittee on mines, which provides for
the endowment of schools Of mines for
the different states and territories. This
bill stands little chance Of passing as
an independent proposition, and 1t has
been asserted that the speaker made
suggestion to its friends that 1t be ad-
ded to the irrigation bill. The money
for endowment Of schools Of mines IL to
be derived from the sale of public
land and 1t has been opposed by
friends Of the Hansbrorgh- -Newlands
irrigation bill on the ground that It
will cause too heavy an fnroad on the
funds realized from the sale Of public
lands and that the necessity and de-
mand for it is not comparable with
that for irrigation legislation.

Brave Men

PTsians in general are not supposed
to be the bravest people in the world,
but even in Persia the inha bitants Of

Their pusillanimity has passed into
proverb and given rise to many stories.
One of the best of these is that when
Nadir Shah disbanded his army on it's
return from India the 10000 men be-
longing to Kashan and it's sister city
Of Ispahan applied for an escort of 100
musketeers to see them safely home
