Grant Survey Necessary.

A typographical map of the property
of the Las Vegas land grant is in the
hands of a Las Vegas gentleman. 1t is
individual property, says the Optic.
A recent survey of the Tecolote
grant of 81 900 acres cuts that amount
off the Las Vegas land grant. The city
is therefore entitled to have a float
issued for 81 900 acres of unoccupied
government land. This will restore
the grant to its original area of 496, 900
acres. Las Vegas must pay $4,000 for
a survey before it can get a patent to
the grant. This will require at least
two months. After that will come the
placing of the property in cautious,
brainy, honest business mems hands in
order hat it may be utilized to the
general advancement of that commu-
nifty whose heritage and whose birth
right it is.

TRY TO SHOVE THE
ONUS ON MITCHELL
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED MINE
WORKERS OF AMERICA BE-
FORE THE COMMISSION.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. I3.-President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers was
again witness today before the strike
commission. He was examined by James
Torrcy, counsel for the Delaware & Hud-
son company. Mr.. Mitchell yesterday pre-
sented figures gathered by his own agents,
he said, which showed higher average OF
wages paid than the figures handed to the
commission by the Delaware & Hudson
company
Mr. Torrcy criticized many of Mr..
Mitchell's figures and finally said that al
most anything can be shown by juggling
figures. Mr.. Mitchell denies any juggling.
Mr.. Torrey next tried to place the re-
sponsibility for the strike on President
Mitchell. The witness said he opposed the
strike at the time it was .inaugurated, but
favored one later in the year.
Counsel for the independent operators
asked Mr.. Mitchell if the operators made
contract with the miners in which there
was a clause providing for non-interfer-
ence with non-unon men whether the
union would enforce the clause. Mr..
Mitchell said: $50 long as we have no
contracts or joint conferences we are not
willing to tell in advance what we will
agree to-"

.LANN|N IS TRIED
ON ARSON CHARGE
WITH S. G. SWEET, HE is ARRAlGN-
ED BEFORE JUSTICE TAYLOR
TESTIMONY TO-DAY.

Charles Lannin and S. G. Sweet are OH
trial this afternoon in Justice Taylors
court in South Butte charged with arson.
The case was called this morning and con-
tinued until this afternoon at o'clock.
About midnight two weeks ago fire was
discovered in the Atlantic tea store under
the Pythian castle. The department re-
sponded and extinguished the flames after
a hard fight. The fire was evidently OF
ncendiary origin and the next day
Lannn, the proprietor, and Sweet, his
clerk, were arrested on suspicion, the
theory being they had tried to burn the
store down for the Insurance on the build
ing and goods.
At this mornings session of the court
the prosecution produced several witnesses
The most damaging testimony for the state
showed that Sweets hat was found in the
store after the fire. 1t was proved that he
bought new hat at Wines dry goods
store the next morning at o'clock, or
rather that Lannin had bought the hat and
delivered it to Sweet
1t was also proved that Sweet had re-
fused to say anything to explain the pres
cnce OF his hat in the store until 1T was
found where it had been purchased.
The defense will introduce its witnesses
this afternoon and it is likely the trial will
take up the greater portion Of the day.

.LANSDOWNE ON THE
VENEZUELA FIGHT
HE SAYS THE BRITISH BEAR NO
ANTlPATHY TO ANYBODY IN
THE WHOLE WORLD.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Dec. I3.--Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne was the principal guest at the
banquet Of the United States club given
last night in London. In speech OF
considerable length the foreign secretary
touched upon the most prominent topics
of the day.
He said he did not believe that in any
part Of the world was Great Britain open
to the charge Of bearing inveterate antipa-
thy to any one, not even to Venezuela.
IF the republic" said Lord Lansdowne.
would dcsist from committing outrages
upon British subjects and British property;
if she would pay her just debts, and if
she would reply to the diplomatic repre-
sentations made to her in very courteous
language, there would be no need what
ever of any quarrel.
Il might add said the foreign secre-
tary, that Venezuela would be content to
put herself on moderate allowance i'll the
matter of revolutions. In less than seventy
years Venezuela has ndulged in the lux
ury of Io4 revolutions. Three revolutions
in two years seems to be altogether un-
reasonable.
Fight Side by Side.
II am glad to say that in Venezuelan
waters at the present time German and
British warships and sailors are acting
side by side in enforcing the just de-
mands Of these two powers.
Continuing, Lord Lansdowne said that
in Somaliand the Italian government was
giving Great Britain invaluable facilities
in the conduct of operations and that he
hoped soon to dispose OF the difficulties
created by the Mad Mullah in that part
of the world
Concerning Ireland, the foreign secre-
tary said the condition of that country
might be regarded today with less mis-
giving than at any time for many years
past. Home rule had receded further into
the background than at any time within
his recollection.

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MouNTA'


Great Falls, Dec. ignore rigid even
than the rfes of martial law are regula-
tons issued this morning by the Cascade
county board of health regarding public
assemblages in the town Of Cascade.
All public meetings Of whatsoever kind
are prohibited under the order of the
board. No congregations may assemble in
churches no schools may continue, no
theatrical performances may be held, no
club or lodge or society meetings may
take place Crowds are not even allowed
TO assemble on the streets.
All this is the result OF the fact that the
whole town Of Cascade has been exposed TO
smallpox. There are no cases in the town
itself, but at St, Peters mission, few
miles from there and elsewhere in the i'm
mediate neighborhood there are number
OF cases.
Last night stranger drifted into the
Occidental hotel bar, which was pretty well
filled. A general conversation was in
progress regarding the prevalence Of small
pox in the vicinity and the citizens were
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY Of establishing
a quarantine.
Smallpox" queried the stranger,
What's everybody so scared OF smallpox
for? You people all get crazy ideas about
these contagious diseases. They are not
really dangerous. Why, ] am sleeping out
here in barn with two men who have
smallpox, and | haven't caught it."
Then the stampede began. 1t took four
and two-ffths seconds to empty the bar
room. Men fell over themselves in an
effort to get away. They filed up the

Madame LaBonta petite, smiling rather
ncrvousy and visibly uncomfortable in
every way, was in Judge McClcrnan's
court not more than five minutes this
morning She was there to plead but the
judge announced that the matter would be
postponed until 80 o'clock Monday
Whether or not the delay afforded the
young woman any relief is a question.
Her hurried exit and unmistakabe air OF
relief when she was at liberty 10 leave the
courtroom with Under Sheriff McGuigan,
who acted as her escort, indicated plainly
that she does not relish the public APP
pcarances to which she is subjected.
There was one other woman in the room
this morning. She was in every way "A
contrast to the fair defendant. This
woman was not dressed as stylishly as
was the madame. She is a brunette, while
the madame has light hair and blue eyes.
There was nothing of the nervous feeling
evident in her case, either.

MYSTERIOUS WOMAN is
INTERESTED IN THE CASE

Seemingly, however this woman had
some interest in the case OF the madame.
She appeared in the room few minutes
before 10 o'clock, This was before the
entrance Of the defendant. From a rear
seat she sat atching the proceedings I'M
mcdiately after the brief proceeding in the
case the woman left the ROOM following
the defendant but few minutes.
During her brief stay in the courtroom
Madame LaI3onta sat beside her attorney,
Edward Booth. They convcrsed in whis-
pcrs, the fair defendant repeating her close
scrutiny Of everything and everybody in
the room. She gave close attention TO Mr..
Booth, however and il was apparent that
both expected that the plea would he
heard at the appointed time.
When the court made the announce
mcnt of postponcment Mr.. Booth had moth
ing TO say. The madame looked relieved,
and Immediately gathered up her skirts
preparatory to leaving the room. MIR.
Booth delayed her a moment, however, for
n few whispered words OF consultation.
Then the madame followed the under
sheriff her attorney leaving the room im-
mediately aftcrward.

DEMANDS PRESENTED BY
THE FOREIGN MINISTER'S

Caracas, Venezuela, Dec. I3.-lhe fol-
lowing are authentic copies OF the demands
presented by the German and British min
isters Monday, December 8, before eni-
barking at La Guayra
ITO the minister of foreign affairs:
Replying to your excellency's note Of the
Ath instant, | have the honor to inform
YOU that have received instructions from
his majestys government to point out to
the Venezuelan government III writing
that regarding the steamer Ban Righ, the
British government has given full explain
ations and have shown that there exists
no legitimate ground for complaint. Nor
does his majesty's government think that
there is any reason to attribute blame to
the authorities of Trinidad, who only acted
comformably with instructions.
II have the honor to further express
that his majesty's government regrets the
situation which has arisen, but cannot ac-
cept your note as sufficient reply to my
communication, nor as indicative OF the in
tention of the Venezuelan government to
satisfy the claims which his majestys gov
ernment have brought forward and II must
be understood that they include all well
founded claims which have arisen owing to
the last civil war and the previous ones
and the ill-treatment and the Imprisonment
of British subjects. and also include an ar
rangement for the foreign debt. l have
asked the Venezuelan government to make
a declaration that they recognize in prin-
ciple the business of these claims, that
they will Immediately make compensation
in the navigation cases and the cases above
mentioned and in those in which British
subjects have been unjustly imprisoned or
ill-treated, and that respecting other claims
they will accept the decision of mixed
commission as to the amount and guaranty
which should be given for payment. | also
express the hope that the Venezuelan gov
crnment will defer to these claims and not
oblige his majesty's government to take
steps to obtain satisfaction.

dated December 10, announcing that the
presidents answer has been placed in his
hands that day and that the Venezuela

ply was filed at Port of Spain, Island OF

worse A landing in force is not consd-

is all the naval commanders for the pres

Any proposition that Minister Bowen
might make in behalf of President Castro
would be received in a good spirit and
carefully considered out of regard for the
channel of its transmission, but no propo-
sition to arbitrate has yet reached Berlin
Neither is the foreign Office aware that the
