WILL NOT AFFECT THEM.
Change in Homestead Laws Would
Not Affect Prior Entries.

Washington. Dec. 2--The agitation
for the repeal of the public land laws
has evidently created a panic among
thousands of homesteaders in the
west who have not yet made final
proof. The northwestern senators
and representatives are receiving
many letters from their constituents
urging them 10 use their influence In
having The issue of patents expedi-
ated, it being urged that the rights of
thousands of people will be affected
If the homestead law or the commuta
ton clause of that act is disturbed.
More people have commuted during
the past twelve months than in any
like period for several years. The
cause is directly traceable to the
misapprehension as to the possible
effect If congress modifies or repeals
the public land laws.
Even if the laws are changed"
said Senator Hansbrough of North
Dakota, "it will not affect those who
have already fled claims. No home
steader can be deprived Of the rights
that he Low enjoys by any legislation
that may be enacted hereafter. 1t
takes from six months to two years
before a patent is issued after final
proof is offered. and only in rare in
stances are such cases made special.

Discussion.

OF the revolution in Panama began to

had heard that there had been some
excitement in Bogota after he left, but
on his departure things were quiet
He did not see any excitement while
on his journey to Colon.
When asked whether in his opinion,
Colombia would make war on the Unit
ed States, he replied:
II do not think so. l do not think
the Colombian government will go
that far 1t is true that Colombia has
an army, but | think that about 900
OF our marines could settle any trou-
BILE. When l left Bogota the feeling
toward America and Americans was
most friendly.
Il do not think that the rejection
of the treaty by Colombia was the re-
suit Of money consideration. though.
Of course. they want the money
think they were afraid of the United
States and for that reason did not
want to give her jurisdiction over a
part of their country do not think
that the other South American coun.
tries will take the part of Colombia. -

Head Of Agricultural Department
Praises Farmers.

Washington. Dec 2.-The seventh
annual report of James Wilson. secre-
tary Of agriculture. has been submit
ted to the president
Discussing the balance OF trade the
secretary shows that the favorable bal.
ance to the credit of this country is
due entirely to the farmers Agricul-
tural progress since 1890 Is becoming
better distributed
The subject of irrigation receives
extended treatment. Irrigation inves-
LEGATIONS have been extended so as to
include the draining of land both in
the arid and humid portions of the
United States. The desirability of I'M
dertaking a special study of power in
relation TO running pumps is urged.
The invasion of the cotton boil
weevil has become such a menace to
cotton growing that Secretary Wilson
believes no less than $50O,000 should
be appropriated by congress to combat
the evil
The intimate relation between good
country roads and the rural free de-
livery should appeal to all communi
ties.
