Russian Government Relents.

Chicago. June 2O.TThe Russian gov
ernment has taken cognizance of the
protest against the Kishineff massacre.
Important concession have been grant
ed to the Jews. which will relieve
their terribly confined condition in the
large cities.
According to the dispatch COM
mittee of fifty of the most influential
Jews in Odessa went to st. Peters
burg and presented memorial asking
that in the region where the persecu-
tions have been most fragrant the
Jews might be granted concessions.
The misery of the families who had
lost all during the terrible massacre
was detailed, and the clemency of the
Czar asked. The ministers decided
that all villages as regards the Jews
should be classified as cities, and that
the Jews should be permitted to re-
side in them. Further it was decided
that the edict prohibiting Jews from
living within fifty miles of the frontier
should be revoked, and that they
should be permitted to live in any por-
tion of the country.

FILINGS ALLOWED
IN GORE CANON

Denver. June 2O.-According to n
dispatch received yesterday by the New
Century Power and Light Company,
the general land office at Washington
has allowed the filings of the company
in Gore canon in Grand county. The
Moffat road and the New Century COM
pany have been fighting for the pos
session of this canon for some time.
These filings, approved by the gen.
eral land office. call for tunnel in the
canon which is to take the water from
the canon after the great dam has
been built from wall to wall to hold
the water. 1t is thought that these ap-
proved filings of the New Century
company will not interfere with the
Moffat road running through the canon
however, as their filings will also prob
ably be approved, since there are no
others before the general land office
asking for right of way for rail-
road
The New Century company has al
ready the right to build its dam. and.
according to the recent approval for
the tunnel, they can now proceed with
their plans, but to stop them the Moffat
company has bought school lands near
the canon which would have to be in
undated in the carrying out of their
reservoir scheme.
Injunctions by both sides are pend
ing before Judge France in Grand
county, one to prevent the construc-
tion of the dam, and the other to pre-
vent the construction of the railroad
An effort is being made to settle the
matter peacably. but If this should fail
a long legal battle will probably en-
sue.

GOVERNMENT WILL IGNORE
VIRGINIA COURT INJUNCTION

Washington. June 20.-The time OF
the Cabinet meeting yesterday was con-
sumed in large part by the considera-
tion of the legal questions involved in
the decision of the United States gov
ernment to disregard the decision OF
the court of Virginia and seize the un-
completed gunboat Galveston at the
Trigg shipyards in Richmond.
The Cabinet, after considering the
opinion of Attorney General Knox,
unanimously decided that the govern
ment case was sound and the program
should be pursued. An effort will be
made to launch the boat next Monday
IL conditions permit.
At the Cabinet meeting Attorney
General Knox presented carefully
prepared opinion, strongly affirming
the right of the government to disre-
gard the injunction granted yesterday
in the Virginia court. which forbids the
resumption of work on the Galveston
pending a settlement of the claim of
the sub-contractors. who have not been
paid for material furnished.
In his opinion. addressed to the Pres
ident, Attorney General Knox says that
the letter to Secretary Moody raises
the question OF right and power Of the
United States to take immediate and
complete possession for all purposes OF
vessels of the United States in course
of completion under contracts with
ship builders where there has been a
breach OF contract with the latter. Mr..
Knox continues:
THE right of a party in ordinary

Edith Belongs in New Mexico.

Under act of the Legislature ap-
proved by then Governor Orman.
April IL, 1901. Charles A. Johnson on
April goth was appointed comis-
sioner to re-survey the boundary line
between Colorado and New Mexico, or
that portion lying between astronomi-
cal monuments 6 and 8.
The re-survey was to be made in
conjunction with commissioners from
the United States government and
that of New Mexico. but these latter
neglecting to make appointments, Mr..
Johnson proceeded on behalf of Colo
RADIO. and has filed his report with the
secretary of state.
According to Johnson's report there
is discrepancy of several hundred
feet between his survey and the orig
inal made by Elihu Darling in 1868.
Darling's line running south OF that
run by Johnson on the line of the
thirty-seventh parallel. A government
survey which has been started shows
the same discrepancies as far as 1t has
proceeded. and If the boundary line as
run should be accepted, the town OF
Edith and numerous sections of land
now in Colorado will in the future be
in the territory of New Mexico.
Monument 6, from which Johnson
started his survey. is about one mile
east of the town of Osier. a station on
the Denver & Rio Grande. He found
numerous mile posts missing, which
he replaced as far as possible in their
old positions. Between mile posts 209
and PA he found discrepancy of q
865 feet to the north. and between 1856
and POI he found jog of 726 feet to
the north.

son in case affecting the government
| than where the interests of private lit
igation alone are involved. The statute
of 1864 enables the government, al
though not party. nor in general sub
| ject to be made such. to intervene
without prejudice and invoke that
doctrine.
| "The nature and necessities of the
subject, the sovereign claims and the

tions. all convince me beyond doubt

der proper reserve of submission to the
Jurisdiction, whereupon discharge OF
| the property as matter of course
would follow and adverse claimants
would have the opportunity of estab-
fishing. in accordance with the law,
their respective claims against the
bond of indemnity thus provided"
In concluding his opinion. the attor-
ney general says:
"One further point remains to be con-
sidered. The letter of the secretary or
! the navy requests to be authorized to
employ. If necessary. the military
forces of the government at his dis
posal for the execution of his orders in
the premises. am loath to believe that
occasion for such exertion of the fed
eral powers will arise, being confident
that any claim to interfere with the ma
tional rights under the judicial author
ity of the state of Virginia will be
promtly disposed of and denied by the
chancery court. For this reason | shall
defer answering that question"
