A MESSAGE To CONGRESS-
PRESIDENT WOULD ASSIST Sill
YER COUNTRIES.
Proposed Plan to Restore Fixed Re
Iationship Between Moneys Of
Gold and Silver Countries.

Washington, Jan. 29.-President
Roosevelt today sent the following
message to, congress: II transmit
herewith a report from the secretary
of state, with accompanying notes
from the Mexican ambassador and the
Chinese charge d'affairs ad interim,
which seeks the cooperation of the
United States in such measures as
tend to restore and maintain a fixed
relationship between the moneys of
the gold standard and the silver-using
countries. l recommend that the *
ecutive be given sufficient power to
lend the support of the United States
in such manner and to such degree as
he may deem %expedient to the pur-
poses of the two governments.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
The message was referred to the
committee on finance.
In his communication Secretary
Hay says: "It is not asked that the
United States modify it's monetary
system, and it is distinctly disavowed
that any movement is contemplated
for the restoration of international BIZ
metallism. The position is expressed,
however, by the representatives OF
both countries that consultation be-
tween the United States and European
powers having dependencies in the
orient and the dependent countries
where silver money is in general use
may result in the adoption of a none
tary system which will prevent the
great fluctuations in exchange which
now occur in trade with the silver
using countries.
Benefits Will Follow.
IF such a result can be achieved,
and it is pointed out that at least a
partial solution has been proposed in
the United States in a bill now pend
ing in the senate in regard to the
lSldluS, great DOuOAIS WIN
follow to the trade of the world by
making easy the access of the pro-
ducts of manufacturing nations to the
markets of China and the other silver
using countries.
"The consideration of this subject
may have an important bearing also
on the payment of the indemnity due
by China to certain European pow
ers and to the United States, by en-
abling the Chinese empire to put her
monetary system upon a basis which
will make it possible for her to meet
these payments in a manner salts
factory to all the powers. This result,
if it could be accomplished, would be
of first Importance, not only to the
United States and to the other powers
having a share in the indemnity pay
ments, but to, China herself and her
future development"
The memoranda submitted by China
and Mexico are practically identical.

ALL DEEDS FROM STATE MAY
BE INVALID.
NOT SIGNED BY GOVERNOR
Commissioner Of the General Land
Office Decides the Law Re-
quires it.

Great Falls, Jan. Ell the acting
commissioner Of the general land Of
flee is correct in his Interpretation
OF the law, then every person who has
purchased land from the state of
Montana has doubtful title to his land
and action to quiet title in every case
must be taken. 1t is probable that
the defect may be corrected by the
mere making out of new deeds, but in
some instances, where land purchased
from the state has again been convey
ed by the original grantees, there
may be considerable difficulty.
An Important Question.
The question raised is "a very i'm
portant one, and it would appear to be
to the interest of every person who
has purchased land from the state to
apply at once for relief. 1t is also
probable hat every lease of state land
is invalid. The commissioner of the
general land office is usually correct
in his Interpretation of the land laws,
and his decisions are recognized as au-
thoritative until overruled by the
courts. All deeds to lands sold by the
state are ssaid to have been signed
by the register of the state land Of
flee or by his assistant, as have been
all leases of state lands.
Cannot Give Valid Deed.
The commissioner of the general
land Office holds that neither the COM
missioner nor his assistant may give
a valid deed to state lands, and that
every deed to such land must, in or
der to be valid, be signed by the gov
ernor an attested by the secretary of
state with the great seal of the state
affixed. This is expressly required
by the laws of both this state and
the United States, and the commits
sioner holds that this may not be del
| egated by the governor or secretary
of state to the register of the land Of
ice vi ANY Oluef person. his Tul-
ing affects title to lands in every
county of the state, and if the regis
ter of state lands may not deed land,
it would doubtless be held to- follow
that he may not lease state lands.
In the event that the commission
er's ruling should be sustained, all
deeds and leases of state lands are
void.
The Case at Issue.
The ruling of the commissioner was
made in a case involving about 5000
acres of land claimed by the state,
lying in Teton county, and it deprives
the state Of any color Of title to the
lands, for the leasing of nearly all of
which the state had made arrange
ments. When the state made it's Sc,
lections of lands under the several
grants from the United tates, it chose
