CORBIN BLACKBALLED
REFUSED ADMISSION TO THE
 METROPOLITAN CLUB.
Application for Membership from the Adjutant General of the Army is withdrawn-Roose-
 welt Urged Acceptance.

Washington, April e.--tspecial.> .>-Wash- in9ton club circles are sensationahy stirred tonight over the withdrawal ot tbe a annlication of H. c. Corbin, Adjutant- General of the Army, for membership to the Metropolitan Club, the most pre- tentious social organization of the city.
 if is the third attempt that Generai Corbin has made to become a meInpsT of this club. The last application TOT membership was proposed by Paymaster- General Bales, and was seconded by no less a parsonage than President hooee- welt. The other members of the club en- dorsing the application were Secretary Root and Gen. Leonard Wood.
 The Board of Governors of the club held two protracted meetings, each of three hours duration, during which the req sons advanced for and against the ad- mission 10 membership of the highest military authority of the Government, barrine General Niles, were duly weighed and considered. One meeting was held Saturday evening and another was held this evening.
 General Bales, who proposed General Corbin for membership, realizing finaiiy that the opposition to his protege could not be overcome, asked the privilege to withdraw the application. This was granted anu the inCiuehl was
 a close.
 It is alleged that Corbln was once ex- pelled from a Chicago club. ana upon this circumstance the Board of Cover. nors of the Metropolitan Club based their refusal to favorably consider ms application.
 The friends of General Corbin insist that his disbarment from the Chicago Club was unjust and that he should not be made to suffer for 1t now.
 The President of the Metropolitan Club Is John A. Kasson. President of the com mission appointed by President Mckinley to negotiate reciprocity treaties, Surgeon General VanReypen being one of the viee-presidents. Among the members of the Board of Governors were Secretary Hay. Senator Hale of Maine. Rear Ad- mIrAl Terry and General Miles. Mfr.

sauATTER POTTER UPHELD.
Successful in His Case Before United
 States Supreme Court

Washington, April 6.--Justice White to- day delivered the opinion of the United States Supreme Court in the case of Thomas w. Potter vs. Mary Hale in- volving claims to land in Oklahoma Ter ritory growing out of the rush to settle newly opened land in 1889.
 Potter was employed on an Indian res ervation adjoining the land. as police officer. Acting in that capacity he or dered off the land which he afterward located on, people who had gone upon it prior to the hour fixed for the stampede. When the hour arrived he joined in the rush and as he had only a quarter of a mile to travel. reached it in advance of the others. The location was contested. The court today held that as he had ta- ken part in the rush to the coveted land aA had gone upon 1t from the outside, he was entitled to the prize he had won. The decision of the Supreme Court of Ok lahoma which held against Potter. was reversed.
 The Court affirmed the opinion of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma in the case Of Robert L. Winebrenner vs. Edward c. Forney which was another "sooner" case. Forney located on the land in the Cher Dkee strip when that section was opened, entering from the Ponca Indian reserva- ton which was claimed to have been prohibited territory.

 cut lt.

It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest ordsf are neces- sary to enable the best of the products of modern commerce to attain permanently to universal acceptance. However loudly heralded. they may not hope for worldwide preeminence unless they meet with the general approval. not of individuals only. but of the many who have the happy faculty of selecting. enjoying and learn ing the real worth of the choicest prod ucts. Their oommsndation, consequently. becomes important to others, since to meet the requirements of the well in- formed of all countries the method of manufacture must be of the most per- feet order and the combination the most excellent of its kind. The above is true not of food products only. but is espe- oially applicable to medicinal agents and s1tsr nearly . quarter of . century of growth and general use the excellent remedy. Syrup of Figs. is everywhere acceptsd. throughout the world, as the best oe family laxatives. It's quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative and carmin- ativs principles of plants known to act most bsnefloially on the system and pre- sented In the form of pleasant and re- frsshing liquid. but also to the method of manufacture of the California Fig Syrup Co.,, which ensureg that uniformi- ty and purity essential in remedy in tended for family use. Ask any physi- elan who is well informed and he will answer at once that 1t is an excellent laxative. If at all eminent in his pro- fession and has made . special study of laxativss and their effects upon the sys- tenn hs win tell you that 1t is the best of family iaxatives. because 1t is sim pie and wholesome and cieanses and sweetsns the system effectually, when
 . laxative is needed, without any un- pleasant after-effects. Every well-in- formed druggist of reputable standing knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel lent laxative and is glad to sell it, at the regular price of fifty cents per bot tie. because it gives general satisfac- tien. but one should remember that in order to ret the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs 1t is necessary to buy the genuine, which is sold In original pack ages only; the name of the remedy Syrup of Figs and also the full name of the Company--Caiifornia Fig Syrup Co.

ESTIMATES OF COTTON cHor.

 parent Than Real.

Washington, April e.-(Special. )-Govs ernment crop statisticians both in the Census and Agricultural Department ar< discussing today the circular gotten cat by New York cotton brokers scoring the census report on the cotton crop for ths season just closed.
 The census report gave the total crop as not less than 10, ,Ts4.OO0 The New York circular says the real production will b4 between il, ,250 900 and Ii .5OO0 900 bales.
 Government statisticlans say the circular estimates are nothing but arbi- trary assertions while the governments figures are based upon actual cotton gin- ned and found a part of the crop.
 If the census figures be reduced to pounds net. that is if the number of square bales and round bales and sea island bales be reduced ot pounds, the result would be very close to the agricul- tural departments estimate issued Decem- Der srd last. the actual difference being 400. l50 bales more in the department rec port than the census report
