Commenting on the election of the
upper house Of the rigsdag, which for
the first time has given the Danish
democracy full power, the official gov
eminent organ announces that the Lib
erals have co-operated with the So
cialists for the last time and that here
after the Conservatives must join in
with the Liberals in fighting their
common enemy, the Socialists. The
Social Democrats retOrt that this atti-
tude On the part of the Liberals will
provoke thousands Of small trades
men. cottagers and agricultural labor
ers to flock to their cause, thus max
ing Denmark the first sOcialistic state
in Europe.
Disappointed by their defeat in the
election for members of the upper
house Of the rigsdag. the Danish Con-
servatives have turned against the
king, declaring that his majesty can
no longer expect them to support the
throne nsomuch as he has consented
to cooperate with their political enc
mics Tle Liberals are now assured
that thei1 strength in the upper house
is sufficient to check Conservative op-
position to their reform measures.

about one dollar per acre. to say noth- ing of the loss of time.
 This seems a unnecessary hardship. but the owners of the land are will ing, if necessary, to make the trip. There has never been more good faith used in the settlement of any tract of government land in the United States than right here on this Colorado delta. All the land laws and regulations made by the government are heartily endorsed by the com panies in charge of the work of re claiming and coloniZing these lands, for these companies are interested more than the government in having these lands improved in good faith
 To this end, the companies have adopted some regulations that were made in the interests of the settlers to prevent people from taking up the desert lands and then holding them as long as possible without improving the same.
 For instance, a person who files ou a desert claim, or takes up a home stead is required to purchase water stock for his entire holding, if he purchases stock for any of it. Thus
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-01-25

it is necessary according to recent ruling for such assignee,-even if resident of some other state-to visit the land office of the district in which the land is located in order to make his annual proofs regarding the land, or the final proof, or to transact any other business with the government regarding the land This rule in some cases works a hardship. For iE
 stance, there are a large number Of men in the east who are stockholders in the California Development Com pany that owns the Imperial Canal System, outside of the distributing systems of the various Mutual Water Companies. These men desired to secure desert lands under the Imper- ial Canal System because they had confidence in the future of the enter prise and believed that an ownership of lands under that system would be a good investment. They could not spare the time from their business to come out and examine the lands, so they authorized one of their num-
 Der to come out here and, if possible, purchase filings already made-as they had the legal right to do-pro-

vided he could get the filings in a compact body. The land was secured. These men then purchased water
 stock for ther lands paying the cash therefor. They then leased the lands for period of five years to have them
 put into alfalfa, so that at the end of this term of years, they would each
 have half section of choice land planted to alfalfa that would be worth large sum of money, which would
 be in position for sale, rental, or for personal use. All these steps were taken in exact accordance with law, but now the land department decides that the assignor in making his atii
 davit that he is entitled to obtain 320 acres of desert land and that he has not heretofore taken advantage of the provisions of the Desert Land Law, must make such affidavit before the local land office at Los Angeles and that he cannot make such affidavit at his home in the east. To make this trip from the east to appear before the land office and make this affidavit would require an expense of

the desert land act and also under the homestead act, without arranging for any water stock for the same, but this move was made under protest of the company.
 Of course the owners of the desert and homestead claims must soon secure water for their lands, or they will revert again to the government and again be subject to be taken by other claimants; for no one can live on a homestead without water and no one can prove up on desert claim without water right.
 There has never been so large a tract of land taken up by settlers in the United States when there has been so little irregularity in the mode of procedure and so much honesty of purpose in the result.

man and wife cannot secure each half section of land, total of GAO acres. and then purchase water right for 40 acres. and let the remaining acres be idle and useless until some one comes along and pays him bonus for his holding,
 Again, the parent companies, in con tracting with the Mutual Water Com pany to deliver to it perpetually supply of water at a given price, requires such Mutual Company to pay each year for at least one acre foot of water for each share of outstand- ing stock, whether the owner of such stock uses the water or not. This clause in the contract was made i'll order to discourage speculating in the dry land and force the owner of such lands to bring it under cultiva- tion for the public good.
 It is true that as soon as work was commenced on the Imperial Canal System, outside parties secured all the school lands under the flow of the canal system and others filed on several thousand acres of land under
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-01-25

Under the desert act, man may file on piece of desert land and then he may legally assign such land to another person, but he may not file on such land with the intent of assign ing it to a certain other individual. The intent of the law is that the public lands shall be taken up and improved in good faith.
 If quarter section be taken up as a homestead, the law requires that the person so filing on the land shall in good faith make that land his home stead; but this rule does not apply, when the land is taken under the desert act. The owner of a desert claim need never live upon the land, but he must examine the land before making his filing and he must secure fer such land-the entire tract em. braced in his filing-a good water right. He must put at least one eighth of such tract under cultivation within three years from date of filing and he must prove up on his claim within four years from date of filing and then pay the sum of one dollar per acre-haYing paid twenty-five cents per acre at the time of filing.
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-01-25

The intent of the laws of the United States regarding the acquisition II the lands of the public domain are that they should be acquired in good faith and improved in individual hold ings not to exceed half section-or a section to any one family. This can only be done under the provisions of the Desert Land Law, for under the Homestead Law family can obtain only 16O acres, but under the desert act a married man can take half section and then his wife can take another half section.

Secretary Moody's Report.

The annual report of Secretary of the
Navy William II. Moody, just submit
ted to the President, is devoted largely
to an argument showing the necessity
for an increase in the personnel, which
he regards as more pressing than pro-
vision now for additional ships.
Mr.. Moody presents a strong state
ment advocating the appointment OF sew
eral hundred more officers, but he ad-
mits that the only source through which
they can be obtained is the Naval Acad-
emy. The question of providing new
ships, he believes. may be left to the
judgment of Congress without recon-
mendation, but it is suggested that at
least two battleships should be author
lied each year with any other vessels
provided.
The report begins with history of
the operations of the fleets during the
last fiscal year. Their cooperation with
the army is shown everywhere to have
been most cordial and its share in re-
storing peace in the Philippines is COM
mented upon. The activity of ships in
the Caribbean sea since the Panama
troubles and the necessity of establish
ing a special squadron there for the pro-
lection OF American interests is one OF
the developments in the year pointed out
by MIR. Moody.

deficit for the year ending June 30,
1904, is $S,242,Ss6. The report says
that the increase in postal revenues not

OF the people and the activity OF busi-
ness interests throughout the country,
but also indicates that the extension OF
postal facilities carefully directed re-
suits sooner or later in increased re-

Efforts have been made in the past

UucIe Sam Won His Case.

The State Department was advised OF
the award OF Professor Asser in the
arbitration of the claims of American
sealers against the Russian government,
its information being to the effect that
the total award was $IoI, ,27o, with per
cent. interest. 1t appears that the al
lowance in the Kate and Anna case was
the lump sum of $I,4S8 for I24 skins.
The allowance in the Pigeon case was
made up of $4,000 for loss OF catch
minus $3.50 for indemnity, and the re-
naming items for owners expenses,
service of crew, provisions, board and
scullers' expenses.
In the Lewis case the principal item
was $4,000 for the vessel, but So, 500 was
allowed for imprisonment and 10000 for
probable catch, with $s,o8S allowance for
skins on board
The principal item in the White case
was $4,000 for probable catch of 1000
seals, and there were allowances of $Io,-
600 for the vessel, $1,000 for imprison-
ment and some allowances for personal
claims.

In the Presence Of the Sultan and His Court
the Fanatic Is Severely Whpped--Au Hour
Later, Upon Learning Of Or. cooper's
Death, The Sultan Commands Execution Of
the Murderer.

London (By Cable).-An article de-
scribing the arrest and execution of the
Moorish fanatic who murdered DR..
Cooper, British missionary in Fez, on
October II, is published in the Times
from the Fcz correspondent of that
journal. After mentioning the arrest OF
the assassin in the shrine where he had
taken refuge. the correspondent says
Within half an hour the assassin was
brought into the Sultan's presence. His
Majesty. who was seated in a chair
under tall archway, in full sight of all
his viziers, officials and some hundreds
of troops, ordered the prisoner to be
brought before him. Mr Hastings and
myself stood by His Majesty's side in
order that we might hear what passed.
The murderer was man of apparently
some 20 years of age, of tall stature and
not unpleasing countenance.
He confessed TO deliberately shoot
ing DR.. Cooper because he was Chris
tian. Up to this time the news of DR..
Cooper's death had not been received.
The Sultan therefore ordered the man
to be publicly fioggcd for his attack upon
Dr. Cooper. and the man received sew
eral hundred blows from leather thongs
across his hips and thighs, administered
by soldiers in the presence of the Sultan
and the entire court and troops. He
bore his thrashing with great fortitude,
and on its completion was able TO rise UP
without assistance and walk.
HE was then ordered to be publicly
exhibited i'll the street. and, mounted
upon donkey and guarded by soldiers,
he was taken from the palace for this
purpose.
1T was at this moment that the news
of DR.. Cooper's death was received. The
Sultan, who was still seated in the great
courtyard OF the palace, ordered the pub
lie exhibition of the murderer to be
stopped and, after consultation with his
viziers, he commanded the mans inn
mediate execution, requesting Mr.. Has
tines and myself to be present, together
with all the viziers.
I'm quarter OF an hour all was over
The murderer was shot in the arsenal
square, which had been quickly cleared
of the usual crowd of people. He re-
mained extraordinarily plucky TO the
