RETURNS TO PEKING.
Emperor of China Renters Capital
Amid Scene of Oriental
SDIend0r.

Picking, Jan. s.-The remittance Of
the Chinese emperor into Peking on
Tuesday was the most remarkable
episide in the annals of the dynasty,
save the fight of the Chinese court
when Picking was bombarded by the
alien forces. The spectacular phases
of the return of the court exceeded
expectations. The cortege was a be-
wildering barbaric exhibition of ORR
entail tinseled splendor. The events
significance was the complete efface-
ment of the traditional dedication of
Chinese royalty. Foreigners were
given greater facilities of witnessing
the ceremonial than would have been
afforded them at most European
courts.

Mr.. S. X. Lent wasSa delegate sent
from the farmers of Allegan County,
Michigan, to Western Canada, to re-
port on the prospects for successful
settlement. His report is as follows:
/ went from Winnipeg to Edmonton,
thence east one hundred miles by wag-
on. / found the country in that vicin-
ity n rich, black loan, varying from IL
inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are
simply something enormous; wheat
and oats by actual measurement often
standing feet in height. have been
farmer for 40 years, and consider my
self fair Judge of the yield Of grain,
and I saw wheat that would yield so
bushels per acre, and, oats that would
yield 100 bushels per acre; not one
alone but a good many. AS for root
crops and garden truck, in no country
have l ever seen their equal for all
kinds except corn and tomatoes; the
nights being too cool for these to
ripenwell. AS a stock country it has
no equal. East of Edmonton, on the
head waters of the Vermillion River, i
saw hay meadows containing from 10
to 100 acres, the grass standing feet
high, and would often cut to tons to
the acre. From Edmonton / passed
through some fine locations, namely,
Wetaskiwin, Lacombe and other
points.
From Macleod went to Regina,
thence to Prince Albert, PAT miles
north of the main line. For the first
80 miles is fine farming country, but
the next hundred miles is more Of a
stock country. Then at Saskatoon,
Rosthern and Duck Lake found some
very fine farming country, so good
that I found a party of Americans
from Minnesota buying land for them
selves-one party buying ~ sections,
and the other 20 sections of land for
themselves, which they proposed to
improve at once.
I have Travelled over % different
States and Territories in our Union,
and never in my life time have ever
seen such magnificent crops and es-
pecially as fine stock country.

REFERRED TO SOLICITOR.
Knotty Question Regarding Property
Rights on Bladensburg Road.

The District Commissioners have decided
to refer to the city solicitor a very knotty
question involving the property rights OF
Mr. z. A. McIntire of 224 street north
west to a parcel of land on the Bladens-
burg road. Mr.. McIntire declares he is
about to be deprived entirely of his land
through a new survey of the road. In pre-
senting the matter to the Commissioners
Mr. McIntire says IN 1898 he built a two
story double mouse on the Bladensburg road
near Mt Olivet cemetery. and since that time
the taxes have been regularly paid. lie
says further mis- deed calls for thirty 1eet
of James L. Kings subdivision of the
Long Meadows He declares he built
the house upon lines furnished by the Dis
trict surveyor April IL, 1888, signed by VIM.
Forsyth
In December last. he now declares. he
was served with paper in an ejectment
case filed by w. f. Lester, attorney for
Selden NJ Ely, and recently his attention
was called to a survey purporting to be
made by the present surveyor of the Dis
trict showing his house to be thirty feet
over on lot 81. alleged to belong to Mr.. Ely.
Mr. McIntire submits, If the survey is cor
rect. he took every precaution which q
prudent man could take when he built his
house. and inasmuch as he built upon lines
furnished by the then surveyor. the Dis
trict should protect him from loss.
Mr. II. B. LOCKER the District surveyor
has reported upon the matter, saying the
difficulty experienced by Mr.. McIntire is
merely phase of the question of the loca-
tion of the Bladensburg road. He says a
full report upon the question was recently
sent in from his Office, in which the true
location was shown. Mr.. LOCKER says there
Is no copy in his Office of the survey GER
tifcate referred to by Mr.. McIntire, but
the field notes appear to indicate that Mr.
Forsyth then knew of the erroneous loca-
ton of the Bladensburg road, and that he
had found all lots to be located from such
erroneous location Of the street. Mr.. LOCKER
states that the notes are in pencil and
somewhat blurred, but can be made out.
Upon the recommendation Of Capt. New
conner, assistant to the Engineer Commits
soner. the board voted to refer the matter
to the city solicitor for an opinion.

ABOUT A PERMIT.
Recommendation That Application Be
Referred to Police.

In the Improvement of the building at 1900
Pennsylvania avenue, Samuel d. Minister
has applied to the District Commissioners
for permit to open rear door on D street
and construct steps from the proposed door
to the sidewalk The inspector of build
ings Mr. Snowden Ashford, in reporting
upon the application, says a search of the
re cords from 1889 to 1898 fails TO show any
record of a permit to locate the steps in
question. AS ID street is business street
less than 100 feet wide, he says that no
step projection could be allowed under the
regulations Mr.. Ashford says there is no
need of permit To make use of the door

But There is No Money With Which to
Macadamize Brooklland Streets.

In responce to the request of the Brook
land Citizens Association that 12.h street.
Brookland, be paved with macadam
throughout it's entire length. Mr. Morris
Hacker, the superintendent of county
roads, has reported to the District Commits
sioners, that the macadamzing of this
thoroughfare would undoubtedly be fine
Improvement but is entirely mpracticable
of execution with any present available
funds, or any appropriate recomm.n nded
in this years estimates.
'The condition of most of the streets in
Brooliland,'' he says, (which have prac-
tically all gravel roadways, has been quite
tolerable, the only bad squares being
three, namely. those between Austin and
Joliet streets. Two of these blocns We're
resurfaced last fall. 1t is believed that the
new work did not have sufficient time to
settle perfectly before wet and freezing
weather set in. but that after dressing up
and rolling, which will soon be done the
road will withstand satisfactorily the
travel coming over it. The square between
Dover and Joliet streets is old construc-
spots only and by minor repairs in the
ture of removing clay which has worked
to the surface, and resurfacing with grav-
ell can be restored to excellent condi-
ton"

quested the Commissioners to plant trees
on several streets in Brookland whether
