the Secretary of the Interior submit
ting an increase in the estimate of APP
preparation for 1903 for clerks in the
Office of the Surveyor General of
Louisiana from $1,000 to 50, 400. The
report of the Surveyor General de-
clares that the present Office force is
barely sufficient to meet the current
demands, and the arrears cannot be
touch AZ all. Under the act Of June,
1858, every case of certificate of loca-
ton must be rigidly examined, re-
curing much time and labor, as in
most cases the records are volumi-
nous. The arrears spoken of consist
of the following: Five Thousand three
hundred and twenty patent plates to
be prepared in duplicate, 90 work and
mutilated township plats to be pro
tracted, $50 certificates of location of
private land claims to be issued. an d
100 applications on file for certificates

that he was unable TO state how soon

St Paul. Jan. IA petition has

neapolis. to be presented to Governor
Van Zant. asking that the fight against
the merger of the Great Northern.
Northern Pacific and Burlington rail
roads be discontinued. The petition
ers state that it is their belief that the
proposed arrangement-the control of
three systems by means of the North
ern Securities company-will be more
beneficial to shippers than are exist
ing conditions.
They want stability of rates, they
say. and believe that the Northern Sc
cu1ities company will secure this for
them. Not only, they say. will
the shippers of the Twin Cities be
benefited by this stability of rates,
but all classes of shippers throughout
the northwestern states will be sim
flarly affected. Petitions of a similar
nature are said to be coming from
other parts of the state.

REDUCING WAR REVENUES
HUSBAND AND WIFE FIGHT IN
PRIZE RING FOR CHILD

Joliet, Mont, Jan. 27.-There was
a novel prize fight here last night.
The affair was TO have been to
| finish, but lasted only five rounds.
| The contestants were husband
and wife and the stake was their
3-year-old boy, Dick. The scene of
| the affair was Gilbert hall, the larg-
est in town. A well-known man
! acted as referee. The couple had
separated and never met except by
chance. On these occasions there
always was a fistic encounter. At
all times. either by force or by
strategem, the woman remained
in possession of the child.
1t was decided that the man and
his wife were to enter the ring and
fight to a finish, the boy being the
spoils. The matter was laid before
the belligerants and they readily
signed the articles of agreement.
For three rounds the fight was
interesting and honors were pretty
evenly divided. The chivalrous
sports, however, wanted the woman
to win and while she was being
spOnged between the rounds to
keep her in condition, the man was
given long braces of whisky.
After the third round a few iolts
on the chin made him grOggy and
in the fifth he was knocked out by
his spouse. The referee officially
awarded the fight and the boy to
the woman. and when the man came
to he was informed that he had no
claim on the lad.
This adjustment of the trouble
may not be strictly according to
law, but there is no doubt that it
will hold at Joliet, thriving Mon
tana mining town in Carbon
county.

SCHLEY'S ONE AMBITION
TAFT IS AGAINST CONCENTRA.
DO METHODS IN PHILIPPINES

Chicago, Jan. 27.-William II.
Taft, civil governor af the Philip
pine islands, is opposed to the pol
icy of recommendation which has
been introduced in the orient bv
Gen. James Franklin Bell. military
commander of the province of Ba-
tangas. In the opinion of Gov.
Taft who spent several hours in
Chicago yesterday, the natives of
the islands can be subdued in 9th
er ways than by the adoption of
Weyler's methods.
On his way to Washington, where
his word has great weight with
President Roosevelt and those who
shape the eastern policy of the
country, Judge Taft declared that
the natives were anxious to take
part in the government of the is
lands, and with u very few excep-
tions peace reigns in the provinces
of the new possessions.
In his private car, the Mayfiower.
Gov. Taft went east last night, eX-
pecting to spend a few days in Gin
cinatti. He arrived here in the af-
ternoon and. with his wife and
child, was the guest of :. NJ. Eel
ton, president of the Chicago & AL
ton railway. Gov. Taft said:
Il have not had time to look into
the RECOMMENDATION scheme of Gen.
Bell carefully. / have seen it only
in the newspapers and have not
had access to the documents he has.
submitted TO his superior officers.
Il am opposed to the principle of
the reconcentrado policy. The ma
tives of the Philippine islands have
shown great interest in the cleo
tions which were held in December
for councillors to the assembly.
They are showing even more inter-
est in the elections which are to
take place in two months for gov
ernors of the provinces. The pol
icy of reconcentration, as l under
stand il. is unnecessary. in my
opinion TO affairs in the provinces.
The conditions in the province of
Batangas, where Gen. Bell is To-
Gated. are somewhat different.
however, from those in the other
portions of the islands. 1t is one
of the two or three provinces where
the opposition TO our forms of gov
ernment is still active.
