THE LAND DISTRICTS
Discussion Of Change of Boundaries
in Minnesota.

From The Journal Bureau Room 45, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington. Feb. 19.-The rearrarge-
ment Of the boundaries of the land dis
tricts In Minnesota is to be taken up with
Land Commissioner Richards the latter
part OF week Congressman Elect Steen-
erson. in whose district a large proportion
OF the. public lands in the state Is located,
has been discussing the question with
Senator Clapp. Representatives Eddy and
McCleary and Represents tive Elect VOL
sted with a view to reaching an agree
ment to present to the land office and
secretary of the interior for ra tification.
An agreement has been reached that the
boundaries of the present Marshall district
are to be enlarged to take in part of the
present st. Cloud district. The southern
part of the western half of the state will
be added to the new Crookston district.
the land office to be reta ned there, The
exact boundary lines are not determined
but it is believed the division Of the area
can be made so that each district will have
about the same area of public land and
all land officers viii receive the same sal
aries. If there is any hitch in completing
the division of the state it will be over the
appointment Of the land officers. If a
new office is located at Cass Lake there
will probable be a fight over registership
and receivership. A. G. Bernard OF Cass
Lake. who is here trying to get the agri-
cultural lands opened is credited with
wanting one of these offices, although no
formal announcement is made. FIe will
probably declare himself when the redivis
ion of the state is finally determined. An
other complication IS the disposition Of the
register. and receiver at Marshall. They
may want to be transferred to st. Cloud.
But it is not certain that this will be done,
because the present officers there will
want to hold their places. Naturally they
will not want to move to Cass Lake. The
present boundaries of the Duluth district
will be retained. &s-t

RELIGIOUS WEEKLY
Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to
the Merits Of Cuticura Remedies in the
Treatment Of Humours Of the ,
Blood, Skin and Scalp.

~ wish to give my testimony to
the efficiency of the Cuticura Rene
dies in what seems to me two some
what remarkable cases. I had a
number of skin tumours small
ones on my arms which had never
given me serious trouble but about
two years ago one came on my
throat At first it was only about as
large as a pinhead, but, as it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than a bean.
A little unusual Irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
> day or two it was as large as
half an orange. I was very much
alarmed, and was at a loss to de-
termine whether it was a carbuncle
or a malignant tumor. .,n 81.

DANGER NOT YET OYER.
British and German Naval Men May
Yet Make Trouble for
Venezuela.

Port of Spain, Trinidad. Feb. 19.-Brit-
ish naval authorities think there is more
trouble ahead with Venezuela. They say
that England is determined not to recog
nize any Castro blockade and her war
vessels will not hesitate to fire on ships or
shore upon any manifestation of interior
ence with British trade with Venezuela.
No instructions have yet been received
regarding the delivery OF warships to
Castro. 1t is believed her that nothing
viii be done until the terms of the agree
ment are received from Washington.
The German cruiser Fake and the Brit
ish warshps Tribune, Alert, Pontome and
Columbine have arrived
Caracas. Feb. 1S.-The American consul
at Maracaibo has notified the American
legation here that the German cruiser
Panther. one of the vessels that took part

Maracaibo, arrived near Fort San Carlos.
and requested free pratique to enter Lake
Maracaiho and reach the city. The com
mander of the fort refused. It is declared
that the Germans are hunting for more
trouble.
Porto Cabello. Feb 19.-The officers of
the German cruiser Vineta yesterday
came on shore and drove all over the
town. Then they went up to Fort So
lana. which was shelled by them Dec. Is,
and asked to be allowed to visit the IN
terror. The officer in command of the
fort received them politely. but he in
formed them that to visit the fort an
order from President Castro was neces-
sary. The German officers went away
laughing.

the Herald's Caracas correspondent. that
nothing. has vet been heard of the return
of the Venezuelan feet as stipulated in
the protocols. OFFICIALS can only explain
it as the result Of the desire OF the allies
to assist the revolUtionists.
The Lesson OF the Attempt.
Washington, Feb. IA general opinion
prevails here in government and diplo-
matte circles that there will not be any
attempt on the part Of the European pow
ers to collect by force debts due them by
Latin American nations. The lesson Of
the Venezuelan imbroglio has been, &C
cording to prominent men in washington.
that coercion by bombardment and similar
means is so offensive to the United States
government that a continuation of such
measures would be liable to the construc-
ton that it is intended asean act of un-
friendliness and disregard for this coun-
try. In regard to reports that Germany
intended to adopt coercive measures
toward Colombia and Brazil to secure the
adjudication of claims due German sub
jects, one Of the most prominent officials
of the administra ton said to-day that he
was atisfed that the reports were not
true.
