ington Working Together.

Seattle, Sept. 2S.-Leigh S. Hunt,
the Korean millionaire mining mag
nate and former resi- lent of Seattle, and
Booker 7. W .ashington, recogniz lied as
the leader of the negro race IN Amer
lea, have joined hands in a colonization
scheme whcih promises to go long
way towards solving the negro question
in this country. Details of Mr.. Hunt 5
plans in his Soudan undertaking, men
ton of which has already been made,
are supplied in letters recently received
by his friends in this city. The gen
eral scope OF the irrigation and coloniz-
alton undertaking includes the reClama-
ton OF several hundreds OF thousands
OF acres of land tributary to the river
Nile, in Africa, and the cultivation of
these lands by negroes who are to be
brought from the United States.
Mr.. Hunt is now at watering place
in Germany. In few days he will
meet Mr.. Washington in Africa, proba
bly, at Cairo, Egypt. Mr.. Washington
recently left his home tor trip to Eu-
rope, ostensibly in search of health.
However, in view of all the clrcum-
stances, it is considered altogether like
ly tina the will meet Mr.. Hunt in Egypt
and there perfect plans for the coloniz.
alton of hundreds of thousands of ne
groes in Africa, which he talked over
with Mr.. Hunt at a meeting held in
New York last month.
Letters from Mr.. Hunt received by
his close personal friends here are to
the further effect that President Roosa-
welt has approved the plans suggested
by Mr.. Hunt. These were revealed to
the President when the latter enter
tanned Mr.. dunt at dinner a few days
previous to his departure for Africa.

st. Paul, Sept. ga petition for
an order allowing an appeal in the case
of the State of Minnesota against the
Northern Securities Company has been
filed with Judge Lochren in the United

The assignment of error filed with

holding that the agreement which re-

quire the majority of the stock of the

erred in finding that the Northern Sc

railroads named and that it is without
power to interfere in the management
vi CoIUIOl vi IllCbC tWO IOdOS tlldI tuc
court erred in not finding that the
Northern Securities Company was

II is further claimed that the court

state of Minnesota, which prohibit such
mergers as the Northern Securities

The assignment of error closes with
a brief petition asking for reversal
of judgment in the case.

SW AMP LAND LAWS.
An Opinion Finally Rereered in the
Oregon Case.


Washington, Sent. S.-Through an
opinion prepared by Assistant Attorney
General Campbell the secretary of the
interior has reudered decision in the
case OF Morrow and others against the
state OF Oregon and the Warner Live
Stock Company, involving large tract
OF land claimed under lite swamp lard
laws. The decision directs the issuance
of patent. The case has been be-
fore the department for twenty years
and has attracted much attention.
Morrow and his associates attacked the
application Oh the ground that the land
involved was not swamp land, but in a
decision delivered last May the depart
ment hello that it was. The present
governor OF the state then filed a pro-
test against the issuance of patent on
the ground that it could not be issued
except on request from him. Inasmuch
as two Of his predecessors had made
such a request the department over
ruled his protest.
