Lieutenant Governor Lyndon a. Smith

peared before the supreme court to-day on
opposite sides of a land case, small in
itself, but important in its possible con-
sequences. The case is a dispute over
the ownership of some land adjoining
Swan Lake, near w illmar. John and
Carrie e. Hanson own one tract, and "a:

They adjoin about eighty acres Of timber
which the survey shows to be part Of The
lake. The .districts court made a division
on section lines, which is not satisfactory
to Governor Rice, who claims that the line
should run clean UP. to the lake shore. B
The difficulty is recent decision OF
the United States supreme court, holding
that land thus wrongly included within
the survey limits of ass-lake belongs to
the government. The case was one ap-
pealed from Duluth
The land in controversy in the presefl,
case is less than eighty acres, but there

Chicago. Dec. 23.-William e. Curtis In
g. Washington special: to the Record-Her-
aid, says: There is no foundation for the
published stories that the United States
government is taking advantage OF the
situation to secure possession Of the island
Of Margarita from Venezuela. Neverthe-
less the naval experts are. yearning for 1t,
and the wish Is father to the talk. The
island lies almost directly north Of the
mouth Of the Orinoco river, and was one
Of the first landing places of Columbus
on his third voyage. 1t was there that he
found pearls. The oyster bearing pearls
have been almost exterminated, however.
and the pearl fisheries are only incidental
to other occupations among the natives.
! It lis the island which the Germans have
been suspected of wanting, and 1t Is
true that a: German ship made careful
survey Of the coast two or three years ago,
which excited a. suspicion that the kaiser
intended to seize Margarita in violation Of
the Monroe Doctrine. Our navy made 3
similar survey and the officers reported
that while the harbor furnished good an
chorage, It was not frst-class. Neverthe-
less they recommended most earnestly
| that the permission be obtained from Ven
ezuela to establish naval station there
because 1t commands the north coast
1 OF South America more completely than
any other point that could possibly be
| obtained.

topic here All kinds Of sensational re-,
ports are in circulation. When she left

went to Munich. where a Frenchman. who

her. Her brother was also joined there by
a beautiful Vienna woman, and the two

It appears that when the crown prince
returned recently to Dresden after his
hunting accident In the Tyrol he dis
covered secret correspondence between
the princess and the French tutor, whose
former relations with her had created a
scandal resulting in the tutors expul-
sion from Saxony. Besides disclosing the

other scandal. Immediately afterwards
