CHANGE the LAW.
Rep. DeLisie, of Detroit, Would
Reform Garnishee
Statute.

"The present garnishee law works
many ipjustices, said Rep.elect p.
B. DeLisle, OF Detroit, recently. Il
shall make an effort to have it
changed. The laboring man receiv-
ing $3.50 per day, and more often
less, is the one most garnished.
Now, say, the man is paid every
two weeks. He should receive Sl8
at each pay day. The fact is he sell
dom receives that amount, as it very
often happens he is unable to put in
full time. But, say he receives $lS
regularly every two weeks. When
garnisheed he would have 80 per
cent, or $14.40 OF the exemption.
The cost OF the case are a. The
creditor gets noting and the man
still owes so cents to the justice.
This a is added to .the mans bill,
which can be increased as often as
the creditor likes.

TRESPASS AGENTS.
1t Is Recommended That They
Be Given Power to Seize
aud Sell Timber.

An important recommendation
made by the commissioner OF the
state land Office recently, relates to
the matter OF trespass agents. At
present these agents have very little
power to enforce collections except
at the end OF law suits. He recon-
mends that the agents be given au-
shortly to seize and sell timber cut
by trespassers on state property in
the same way that game wardens
are given power, TO seize and dispose
OF game and fish taken unla wfuliy.
Both of these recommendations will
be considered by the legislature at
the present session.
At the beginning of the fiscal year
which ended last June, the state was
in possession of 4l9,O48 acres OF
public lands. According to the land
commissioners report for the year
this total was increased by the deed
ing to the state of 6, l85 acres of tax
homestead lands and the reversion
to the state OF l9,41O acres that had
been taken up by homesteaders but
not paid for. The total sales OF
lands during the year were 33, 40S
acres, 374 acres Of swamp lands were
licensed, 33,36l acres we're taken up
as bomesteads, and "a, TAO acres were
decided by the state to actual settlers
under the homestead act. At the
close of the fiscal year the public
domain consisted of 353, ,498 acres.
The receipts OF the state land
Office for the sale OF land, the prin
cipal, interest ana penalties received
and from all other sources were sl05,-
261.74.

leased so acres of land from the Mass

Judge A. I. Streeter, of the
Twelfth judicial circuit, has asked
the Houghton county board of sup
ervisors for an increase in salary in
view OF the greater volume of work

more cases in circuit court and mat

whom the fixing Of the salary lies,
will take Judge Streeter's request
under consideration.

Tokyo, Aug. lS.-Specals to the Nichi Nichi, leading paper, from Pe- king, state that Prince Ching has de- termined to seek the arbitration of the United States in the Manchurian inn broglio, and that Russia has consented to such appeal being made. Official circles discredit these reports, and a prominent statesman says there seems no way open for intervention and the question is regarded as one to which arbitration cannot be suitably applied
 The British charge d'afTaires in Ko- req, J. N. Jordan, who demanded that Wiiu be opened to foreign trade. has now demanded the opening of Yong Am-Pho to foreign trade. The British and Japanese representatives are unit ed to object to Russia securing this port as a base.
 The Japanese minister, in demanding that Korea annul the Russian lease, says that if Korea recognizes the agree ment with Russia, Japan will demand similar concession or take steps to protect Japan's rights in Korea. Dr.. Morrison, Picking correspondent of the London Times, has been attracted to Seoul by the happenings there. The announcement of a ukase by the czar declaring a vice royalty over Manchu- ria and appointing Admiral Alexieff viceroy reused little excitement in Ja- pan. Japanese opinion is indifferent, maintaining that the general had al- ready been the Superior chiefs of Russian interest in Manehuria, and the appointment was nominal.
 Japanese papers are full of additional war preparations. Advices from New chwang state that owing to the strained relations between Russia and Japan the Newchwang branch of the Misui- Bussan Kaisha, large Japanese ship ping and commercial company, has been directed by it's head office to pre- pare to withdraw from that port on re- ceipt of telegraphic orders from Tokyo.
