Lacy Bill Passed.

Washington, Dec. 6th.-The House to-day passed the Lacy bill which permits settlers in Alaska to ;ake up 32O acres instead of so as heretofore. This bill was passed on the sixth day of the session and friends of Alaska believe that much needed legislation for the District will be passed at this session.
 The land laws are to be further amended SO as to meet the needs nf the District. The House Com mlttee has practically agreed upon inc following amendments to the present laws:
 First-Authority by which set lers may stake off 320 acres of ag- ricultural land and secure title after five years without waiting for government survey.
 Seeond-Immediate repeal of ,ownsite laws, and substitution of such provisions as will enable per sons to secure quick title to town site.
 Third A revision of the min ing laws especially to prevent To- cltions of claims by power of att tO.ney.
 The proposition to allow settlers to stake off homesteads stipulates that the land in question shall be marked off in rectangular form with boundary lines running as nearly as possible north and south and east and west.

President Starts for the Camp in the
Bear Country.
Smeades, Miss, Nov, 15.-Pres1dent
Roosevelt and his party arrived here
shortly before o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, and, ! in their hunting toys,
started soon afterward for the camp
on the Little Sunfower river. AS the
distance is about fifteen miles and
the trail is rough and bad, it was
probably after dark before they ar
rived at camp. Smedes is simply a
siding on the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley railway where cotton is loaded
from the big Smedes plantations. A
plantation store and the residence
of one of the managers are the only
structures except negro cabins within
sight. Work on the neighboring plan
tations was suspended yesterday af-.
ternoon and several hundred negroes
were at the siding when the train
stopped. Most of the men sat on the
cotton bales, but the black mammies
and the pickaninnies stood along the
track. They showed their white
teeth in hard grins, but made no 9TH
er demonstration as the president
stepped from the train. He was clad
in hunting costume, riding trousers,
leather leggings, blue faner shirt,
corduroy coat and wore on his head
brown SLOUGH hat. Around his
waist was buckled his cartridge belt
and at the side hung his ivory
handled hunting knife Other mem
bers OF the party also wore hunting
suits.

Women and children thronged the

MASON.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. IA. - The
police spent yesterday investigating
the past life and movements of George
L. O. Perry, the young negro who
Tuesday, upon the release Of Alan G.
Mason, was charged with the murder
of Miss Clara A. Morton at Waverley.
Last night the Somerville police
found Perry's sweetheart, and after
persuasion, got her to- exhibit whatev-
er jewelry she had received from Per-
ry. Among the trinkets was gold
nized as having belonged to Miss Nc
Phee. Private marks on the chain
proved the Identification, and the jew
eler who sold it to Miss McPhee later
described his own upon it. The chain
had been given by Perry's sweetheart
to her sister. The officers next Sc
cured -
Letters Written by Perry
to his sweetheart and one to her sis
ter, and in the latter missive there is
reference to a chain and the injunc-
ton not to say word about it. When
Miss McPhee was in the hospital, dur
ing a lucid moment, she asked where
is my chain?"
At the time there was an abrasion
on her neck caused by the forcible
Tightening of a chain worn there. At
ter her death search was made for the
chain, but as it was not pawned in
this vicinity no clew to the murderer
was secured in this way. The police
refuse to give the names of the girls.
All of Perry's clothes were taken from
him yesterday because an officer
thought he detected blood spot on a
shirt sleeve. Perry admitted the spot
was blood, saying he had a bleeding,
tooth.
Last night all the negro's clothing
at home was seized. Some of this,
especially a coat, has stains which
look like blood. Prof. Wood of Har-
ward will examine the garments.
Another Negro Under Arrest.
New York, Nov. ia negro about
twenty years old, giving the name of

lice say that he tallies with the de-

seen in the vicinity of the place where
Miss McPhee and Miss Morton were
