LAND SCRIP.

BY the use Of so-called land scrip
title can be obtained to government
land without cultivation or residence
thereon. All you heed to do is to give
description and show the land to be
Of the proper kind; we do the rest. BY
reason OF the exhaustion of the supply
which has been quite limited the price

HAD WORKED AN OLD GRAFT

Apparently there is no longer any
Texas, last Sunday by the sheriff, but
not before he had shot and killed a
deputy and wounded the sheriff, who
died while he was firing at his assail-
ant, was none other than w. Guy Lam
ders, Jr., who escaped from Jail here
some time ago.
Further dispatches from the town in
which he was killed state that OF the
day following the triple tragedy pa
pers were found which conclusively es-
tablished the strangers identity as
Landers, who was born at Monroe, Ga.
His Identification was made complete
by a circular from the Pinkerton De-
tective agency, which read:
Members are warned to be on their
guard against w. G. Landers, Jr., and
are requested to promptly notify the
association of his appearance. Lam
ders is wanted at Billings, Mont,
where he recently made his escape
from the town Jail.
HE caused the Billings State bank
to make a draft on the First National
Bank of Hawaii, at Honolulu for $1,696
for his account and then attempted to
draw $152, presenting, it is alleged, a
fraudulent check for that amount on
the Bank of Hawaii. Landers went
to Hawaii in the fall of 1902, defraud-
ing a San Francisco bank, it is said,
of SIS en- route, and upon his arrival
opened an account with the First Ma
tional bank of Hawaii on February 16.
He disappeared from Honolulu, it is
said, defrauding the bank to the
amount of $500, which was advanced
on a draft for $458 f~raudulently pur-
porting to be drawn to his order by the
Victor Mining company, Cripple Greek,
Colo, on the First National Bank OF
New York City. Upon his return to
this country, he commenced to draw
on the Hawaii bank and secured $500
at Shreveport, Ala, March 10. In
April he was operating in Billings, as
shown"
The shooting which resulted in the
three deaths arose from an attempt of
Sheriff Wharton and Deputy Burgh to
arrest Landers for having passed an
alleged bogus check on a jeweler OF
Victoria, from whom he had purchased
several hundred dollars worth of dia-
monds.
The dead man was going under the
name of Marcus G. eagle, and claimed
to be a capitalist of Philadelphia. He
had also negotiated a trade for sew
eral hundred acres of rice land at Vic
toria, for which he had given a check
for $4,000, which was discovered to
be a forgery when deposited in bank.
Upon the person of Landers were
found diamonds worth at least $4,000.
1t was generally believed by the Off
GERS here that Landers, while excep-
tionally clever in some, matters, was
not wholly of sound mind. Many OF
the things he said and did were &C.
cepted as proof Of a arrangement OF a
portion of his mental machinery. He
was a most ~unblushing, but awkward
liar and apparently could not tell the
truth, when to do so would have been
to his advantage.

TREATY is RATIFIED
CANAL MEASURE PASSES SENATE BY
VOTE OF 70 TO S.
Not Single Change In 1t = All Amend
ments Were Voted Down-Now Ready
for Ratification by Colombian Con-
gress, Then President VIII Appoint a
Commission and Begin Work.

Washington, March IS. - Without
dotting an 81" or crossing ct" and
without changing single punctuation
mark, the senate yesterday voted to
ratify the treaty with the republic Of
Colombia for the construction of an
isthmian canal. The vote for ratifica.
tion was 73 in the affirmative to in
the negative.
The senate was in executive session
when the result was announced, 30
that only the senators themselves and
few confidential employees we're pres
ent. All the senators announced them
selves as gratifed to have the long
struggle terminated, but none of them
manifested his appreciation by cheers
or handclapping. On the contrary. all
Of them were more concerned about get
ting away from the chamber than any
thing else, SO by the time the senate
could adjourn, which it did almost inn
mediately after the result was an
ncunced, most of the senators had left
their seats and some of them had
donned their hats and overcoats.
The day was given up almost entirely
to general debate on the treaty, and, in
addition to the set speeches made under
the agreement by Morgan and Cullom,
there were many short addresses and
rather long speech by Daniel of Vir-
ginia. The only party vote Of the day
was taken on the substitute for article
~, which was agreed uopn by the
Democratic caucus, and had reference
to the acquisition of territory in Cent
raj and South America by the United
States. There were a number OF
speeches on this amendment, but it was
voted down by an almost two-thirds
majority, the ballot footing up 81 ayes
and 25 noes. When the senate ad-
iourned at O'clock. there was gen.
eral belief that the business vf the ses-
sion would be completed in time to
permit final adjournment today. Some,
however, placed the date "a hours
later.

WILL CLAIM EQUAL TREATMENT.
Position of Germany Regarding Cuban
Reciprocity Treaty.

Berlin, March l7.--Germany, as soon
as the reciprocity treaty between Cuba
and the United States is ratified, will
ask both the Cuban and the United
States governments for identical priv
ileges. 1t is also intimated that other
governments intend to request the
same treatment. While annoyed at
the prospect Of the United States
trade having lower tariffs in Cuba than
that of Germany, no one supposes tnat
even collective protest on the part Of
the continental countries would cause
either the United States or Cuba to
recede. But Germany's position ia to
be defined clearly, so that the United
States may not complain when Germany
gives other nations preference in trade
treatment.
The principle which the Germans lay
down in entering upon correspondence
concerning new commercial treaties is
"give and take The most favored
nation theory is really abandoned.
Special conventions are to be drawn
up TO fit different situations. This
principle seems to be accepted by Rus.
sia, Austria and Italy, and the trade
policies are to rest upon the reeipro-
city idea.
What is the subject of more concern
here is that, should the Cuban treaty
be accepted and found to work we'll,
similar treaties may be arranged by
the United States with Mexico, Brazil
and Argentina, ultimately resulting in
the United etates obtaining a mono
poly Of all the South and Central Amer
ican markets.
