NO ACTION TAKEN ON
REQUEST FOR LICENSE
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Com
pany's Case Not Decided.

Final action has not yet been taken
by the Commissioners in the matter of
the application of the Mutual Reserve
Life Insurance Company for license
to do business in the District of Colum-
bia as an assessment company. When
its application was submitted to the
Commissioners some time ago and by
them referred TO Mr.. Drake, Superinten-
dent of Insurance, the latter returned
the application to the Commissioners
with a request that they procure from
the Corporation Counsel a legal opin-
ion covering the questions raised
This opinion was submitted to he
Commissioners last week. and held that
the application for the desired license
should be rejected. The publication OF
this fact has led to the erroneous sup
position that the Commissioners have
finally acted upon the matter.

DE[ANARES CLAIM LAND
IN INDIAN TERRITORY
Ask Restraining Order to Prevent
Allotment Being Carried Out.

George Bullette, Henry Armstrong
John H. Secondyne, John Young, John
Sareoxie, jr., and Richard C. Adams, il
their own behalf, and in behalf of the
Delaware Indians, residing in Indian
Territory, have instituted proceedings in
the District Supreme Court against the
Secretary of the Interior and the COM
mission TO the Five Civilized Tribes, to
restrain them from considering applica-
tons for allotments of certain lands
pending a decision OF the matter by the
Supreme Court of the United States.
1t is also asked that the defendants be
compelled to strike from the files in
their offices all alleged illegal appltca-
tions for the sale of lands within the
Cherokee Nation reservation.
1t is explained that the complainants
became the owners of the land in dis
pute under the act of 1867, by the pay
ment of $167 600, which was at the rate
of 81 per acre. 1t was agreed that the
Government would divide the land into
quarter sections of 100 acres each. This.
it is alleged. was not done.
The Delaware Indians paid their pro
rata to the Cherokees. and took posses
sion and improved their land at great
expense. Now the Cherokee Indians, X
is said, through their agents. seek to
regain possession and control of the
land.
Walter S. Logan, Nathaniel Wilson,
and George S. Chase are named as coun-
sci for the compliments. When the
Detitiou was presented to Justice An
derson, he issued temporary restrain
ing order. The matter Will come on for
hearing June II.

The Northwest Passage.
Such a trip-starting from Norway
and travelling northwest and then south
west into the waters of Boring Sea-
must entail the finding of 1.-The north
west passage if the party keep to their
boat. The success Of the expedition
does not wholly depend upon this, how
ever. since Captain Amundsen win aban-
don his vessel if he finds it necessary.
Captain Amundsen took part in the Bel
gica expedition, and is an Arctic trav-
eler of much experience.
The true location of the magnetic
north pole has never been verified.
though in 1891 Captain Ross, the ia
nous English explorer, located it at
Felix. on the western edge of Bothnia,
the place toward which the north end of
all compass needles pointed. This, is
about 10 degrees north latitude. Not
fully approaching the important infu-
ence which local conditions exert on
the needle, he was content with a sin
gle observation obtained at a single
station. This meager information
leaves the accuracy of the location in
doubt and furnishes nothing to indicate
whether the magnetic pole is fixed
point or has a periodic movement.
