LANDS ARE OPENED.
Important Development In the Land
Fraud Proceedings.

The Secretary of the Interior has revoked
the order under which final action on en-
tries under the timber and stone act were
suspended, and all such entries, aggregating
a large number, will now be acted upon in
the regular order by the general land office.
The order involves: several hundred thou
sand acres of public domain in the west, all
entries which have been held up because
Of the big frauds perpetrated on the gov
ernment under the timber and stone act.
The suspension, which has been In force
many months. has served a good purpose
and, in the view Of the Interior Depart
ment, has been the means of protecting and
preventing many fraudulent entries. A
rigid scrutiny of all entries under the act
will be continued, but the revocation of the
suspension order will have the effect Of al
lowing all valid entries to be patented.
This was the important development to-
day in the land fraud proceedings. and in
dicates that the government believes that
the backbone of the alleged ring that has
been speculatng in and taking unlawful
means of acquiring lands under this act
has been broken.

HAVE PITY On THE CLERKS.
A NATIONAL AQUARIUM.
Project Which Will Be Recommended
by Secretary Cortelyou.

-
An aquarium containing every breed of
fish and fowl, reptile and plant that has
habitation within the confines of the con-
stantly expanding territory that is guarded
by the folds of the American flag is the
plan recently proposed by Secretary Cor
telyou for the capital city. and one which
he will recommend to Congress as an ad-
junct of the bureau 4ef fish and fisheries.
His idea has already received the COM
mendation Of all who have learned Of it.
the benefit Of such an establishment being
generally acknowledged.
If the plans are made effective by the
necessary cooperation of Congress the
aquarium to be established in Washington
will surpass anything Of the kind on this
continent, both in size and the scope OF its
work. During the several exhibits made at
the expositions in Chicago, Omaha, Buffalo
and elsewhere the fish commission has
made a careful study of the aquarium and
has the benefit of that knowledge, now that
it may be called upon to construct this am
bilious work.
1t is expected that fish and animals from
every part of the country will have place
in the gardens connected with the aqua
rum, and as school for the study of this
class of life 1T will maintain high position.
Scientists school children and their teach-
ers and others will find the national aqua

DEFINES DIETRICH's POSITION.
His Counsel Makes Explanation of the
Senator's Pleading at Omaha.

OMAHA, Neb., December 21.-Gen. John
C. Gown, counsel for Senator Dietrich
believes the senator's pleading before the
federal court to indictments recently re-
turned against him is misunderstood and
makes the following explanation:
'"rhe report that Senator Dietrich has
declined to plead to the indictment charg-
ing him with receiving money to secure
the appointment of Jacob Fisher as post
master at Hastings is misleading. This is
the indictment to which Senator Dietrich
pleaded not guilty and the indictment
The senator declined to plead to the con-

SUGGESTIONS ACCEPTED.
Minister squiers Reports Result Of
Negotiations Regarding Isle Of Pines.

Mr. Squiers, United States minister to
Cuba, has arrived in Washington and had
a long conference with Mr. Loomis, acting
secretary of state. The minister reported
that the Cuban government has pract-
cally accepted all the suggestions that
the State Department had put forth rela-
tive to the Isle of Pines, namely. they
would establish schools, provide a mod1-
fed form of judicial proceeding and open
port for the convenience of the American
settlers on the island. 1t has been pract-
cally decided that these undertakings need
not lead to the amendment of the pending
Isle of Pines treaty, but can be given eff
feet by reduction to the form Of diplomatic
notes to be exchanged between the United
States and Cuba.

WILL RESPECT PLEDGES,
Offer of the Dominican Government to-
Minister Powell.

A very much belated dispatch from
United States Minister Powell. at San Do

reached the State Department. containing
the information that the provisional gov
ernment of that republic has now offered
to recognize the agreements as to arbitra-
ton of American claims entered into with
Mr.. Powell by the late Wos y Gil admins
tration. Whether or not this acquiescence
by the provisional government In It's hour
of trouble will induce Mr.. Powell to extend
recognition by the United States rests en-
tirely in his hands. according to State De-
partment officials.
Touching reports that have been pub
lished to the effect that the United States
intends to intervene in Dominican affairs in
the near future. it Is said at the State De-
partment that there will be no departure
from the established rule of limiting inter-
ference to cases where direct American in
terests are affected by revolutionary up
risings. Otherwise the inhabitants may
work their will.
