CHEAP EAST AFRICAN LAND.
Free Grants Offered by Government
to Bona-Fide Settlers in
Some Parts.

| am In receipt OF letters of inquiry
from the United States, asking IN regard
to the agricultural and grazing pros
poets Of land In British East Africa, It's
price, etc.
In reply | am able TO state, on the au-
thority Of local publication, that set
tiers may acquire land in three ways
BY gift, by lease and by purchase. The
government offers free grants OF land
10 bona fide settlers. tits easy TO believe
that the plots TO be given do not com
prise the best agricultural land In the
country, and II Is doubtful whether q
settler would be we'll advised In con-
tenting himself with free grant.
Neither. It seems. since the terms OF pur-
chase are so easy and the prospects of
the land appreclating In value so good,
Is II worth while 20 bother about lease
hold ground. A scttler's policy. II seems
clear. is to buy bis land outright by a
cash payment or on the installment prin-
ciple, Each settler may acquire $40
acres OF agricultural land In the Nairobi
district, or he may acquire 5000 acres OF
grazing land farther up country IN the
NaIyasha district This grazing land,
II should be understood, Is capable Of
producing wheat. vegetables and other
products. The price OF average aericul.
tural land-land near Nairobi, that is--
is about e7 cents per acre, and payment
can be spread over a period OF 16 years.
The price OF grazing land varies from
2S to 4s cents per acre and can also be
obtained under easy terms.
OF course those who 90 into the coun-
try at the present ground-noor prices
are going as pioneers. The grazing
regions, At any rate, comprise a wild
country. The natives are peaceful, but
the district Is so full OF game that II ia
impossible for the settler at present to
DO much In the way OF fencing. Lions
leopards. hyenas. jackals, zebra, ostrich
es, etc. abound and the FIRST settlers In
this part Of the country. II must be re-
mefnbered. will be a good deal Isolated
The proposition. however. has so many
attractions that the peopling OF the
country is likely 10 proceed rapidly.

FIRST TORNADO HITS IN KANSAS.
Town of Mcpherson Is Visited by a
Destructive Storm Cloud.

MCPHERSON, Kas-A severe tor
nado struck Mcpherson Sunday after
noon, demolishing six residences and
causing more or less other damage to
property. Three persons were in
jured, one seriously. Much damage
was done in the country north of here
A funnel-shaped cloud approached
the town from the south, following
the course of a ravine. The residence
of S. W. Rieff was first struck and the
house, barn. windmill and outbuild-
ings destroyed. All the members of
the family escaped except a young
man, who was bruised and scratched.
The residence of Mrs. S. p Fisher
was next struck. The building wGs
picked up and carried a considerable
distance and demolished. The family
had seen the approach of the storm
and escaped. The large Fisher apple
orchard was ruined.

AS TO WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Cabinet Considers AdvisabIity of Gov
ernment Control.

WASHINGTON.-The most import
ant matter considered at the cabinet
meeting Tuesday was that looking to
the control by the government of Wire
less telegraphy. The subject was
broached by Secretary Hay in connec-
ton with the communication received
recently by this government from Rus
sia
Thus far wireless telegraphy has
not figured in international affairs,
and no conventions covering it's use
have been considered. 1t is believed
that sooner or later the subject will
be taken up by diplomats, with view
to reaching an international agree
ment upon it.
The discussion was tentative, in a
measure, and definite decision was
reached. 1t is likely, however, that
in the near future some action will
be taken that will provide for proper
government supervision of the wire
less system of telegrephy.

ROSEBUD BILL IS SIGNED.
President Gives Approval to the Open

WASHINGTON - The president
signed the Rosebud reservation bill
Saturday. In honor of the event
Congressman Burkett presented every
man in the white house Offices with
a rosebud The delegation then went
to the general land office, where it
was learned that the land would be
opened under the lottery plan, such
as was used in opening the Kiowa and
Comanche lands in Oklahoma. Pros
pective settlers may register at Bone
steel, Fairfax and Chamberlain until
the middle of May, when the drawing
will occur at Camberlalin. Full par
ticulars will be given to the newspa-
pers soon.
The plans for the opening Of the
reservation are not yet completed, but
it is expected that arrangements will
be made so that the opening will take
place by July l next. 1t is likely
that the plan to be followed will be
the same as that carried out in the
Kiowa and Comanche opening in Ok
lahoma in 1901, when the claimants
were registered and the order in which
the entries to be made determined by
a drawing of the names. This meth
cd, as carried out in Oklahoma by
Commissioner Richards of the general
land Office, is generally commended at
the interior department, where it is
desired to prevent such wild scenes
as transpired at previous openings.
There are 245 quarter sections of pub
lie domain embraced in the territory
to be thrown open and the indications
point to large number of prospective
settlers.

Latest Society Craze.

According to the English papers,
the latest society craze seems to be
the game of magic crosses. Three
crosses, of small size, and in num-
ber of various colors. are laid on a
table in straight line, and the per-
son holds magnet, which he moves
slowly down the line OF crosses. One
by one, but not in rotation, the crosses
are attached to the magnet. and when
they are at last all arranged in order
the expert can gain ar insight into
the character and fate of the expert
menter. Even cabinet ministers have
consulted the magic crosses.

HOUSE HURRYING WORK.
Long Day and Night Sessions Are to
Be Held.

WASH1NGTON-Long day and
night sessions are the program in the
house this week. as the leaders plan
to end the session Thursday. On
Monday Mr.. Williams, the minority
leader, is to be given consideration of
his resolutions calling on the attor-
ney general, first, for information of
any prosecution by him of the inter-
ested parties in the Northern Securi-
ties company, and, second, what has
been the result of any investigation
he has made on the coal trust.
The conference report on the post
office appropriation bill is to be con-
sidered Tuesday. The Alaska dele
gate bill is before the house as a
continuing order" to be considered
in the absence of the conference re-
ports, which are yet to come on the
military academy, the general defici-
ency and the sundry civil appropria-
ton bills. There undoubtedly will be
many requests for consideration of
minor matters by unanimous consent,
and the outlook is declared by the
leaders to indicate an exceedingly
busy windup.
