TO OPEN MANY ACRES.
Fine Public Lands to be Sold at Auc-
 tion.

Washington, Feb. 29.--Some excellent lands, including twelve townships of the Red Lake Indian Reservation in northwestern Minnesota and a part of the Rosebud Reservationabou 416,000 acres in Gregory county. South Da- kota--will De opened for settlement in a few months. President Roosevelt has conceived the idea that it would be to the interest of the government to adopt the plan of disposing of the land by auction and for some time he has been talking on the subject with senators and representatives in congress who are in- terested in It.
 Representative Martin of South Da- kota expressed the opinion to the pres ident to-day that the auction plan would be inadvisable and unwise He thinks the government would not real- ize as much from the lands at auction as it would if the old plan of dispos- ing of them at a fixed price were adopt ed. No decision as to the method of sale has been determined on, but it is not improbable that in his proclama- ton announcing the opening of the lands to settlement, the president may prescribe how they shall be sold.

NEGRO AND THE WHITE HOUSE.
Discussion of Their Entertain ment by
 Roo.eve,t aud cleveland.

Diecussfou Of Their Entertain lent by
 Roosevelt aud Cleveland.
 Washington, Feb 29.-During consid- eration of the District of Columbia ap- propriation bill in the house to-day MT. Scott of Kansas made the declaration that a negro had dined at the White house with President Cleveland during the latter,s first administration. The statement was prompted by reference by MT. Gilbert of Kentucky to the din- ner oe Booker T. Washington at the White house. When the name was de- manded MT. Scott said it was c. H. J. Taylor, who was appointed by President Cleveland as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia.
 MT. Gilbert observed that he and oth- CTS never had heard of the incident, but the democrats were not particularly claiming MT. Cleveland, and MT. Coch- rane of Missouri said 1t was but cumu- lative evidence that there is no better republican in the country than Grover Cleveland
 MT. Scott, in contrasting Booker T. Washington with Taylor said the for mer was man of recognized ability while he declared there was nothing to commend the latter.

Russian Cavalry Scouts Driven Back
 Near Ping Yang.

Chefoo, Feb. 29.-The Twenty-ninth Japanese infantry, occupying Ping Yang, midway between Seoul and the Yalu river on Sunday met body of Russian cavalry scouts north of Ping Yang and drove them back.
 It is estimated that 60,00O Japanese troops have landed at Chemulpo The transports now are not escorted by war vessels.
 The Japanese sailors who manned the merchant vessels which were sunk at Port Arthur, on landing here shaved their heads as mark of the disgrace they felt at the failure of the project. The crew of the Jinsen Maru wrote their names on the foremost flag, which remained above water when the ship went down.
 Washington. Feb. 29.-United States Minister Allen cables the state depart ment from Seoul that, in pursuance of an arrangement he has made with the Japanese minister. returning trans port will bring Americans from Ping Yang, point in northwest Korea, near the border of Manchuria.

 Bridgeport. Feb. 29-Miss Rebecca G. Bacon of New Haven and Secretary Charles P. Kellogg of Waterbury. of the State Board of Health, dropped in unex- Dectedly this morning at the almshouse in this city. The committee was not at all satisfied with the existing condition of affairs caused by overcrowding. They found many unsatisfactory things about the attempted establishment of hos oital and gave orders to make certain changes. They considered the use of kerosene lamps extremely dangerous and recommended that the place. be lighted throughout by electricity. When asked about the matter Secretary Kel- logg said that the conditions were as good as could be expected considering the crowded condition. The building was never meant for a hospital.

MAY BE CAUSE OF FRICTION
PLAN TO LAY CABLE BETWEEN
 JAPAN AND GUAM.
A St. Ps,srsburg Rspor. That Russia would Consider Permission by the United States for such an Undersaking Breach of Ssurrailty-DInsrsnt View Taken i'm Washington.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 2s.-If an at tempt is made to lay a cable from the Island of Guam to Japan during the continuance of hostilities it will be re- garded as contraband of war under the proclamation promulgated yesterday. As point out to the Association Press correspondent, the proclamation is spe- cific on this question, and it is not be- lieved here that the United States will undertake or authorize such cable now as it would constitute a breach of neutrality. according to the Russian view.
 Washington. Feb. 29.-Thus far the United States government has not re- ceiVed formally an application from the Commercial Cable company to land a Japanese cable on the Island of Guam. The government, however, has been applied to in tentative way by repre- sentatives of the company so as to as certain how the United States would view such an application if it were made. No decision has been reached, although in the light of present infor- nation there is manifest disposition to regard such a request as entirely reasonable and proper. It is considered that the lay of the cable would be pure ly a commercial transaction, and that the granting of permission for the landing of the cable at Guam would not violate in any sense the position of neutrality which the United States has assumed in respect to the Russo-Japan- csc conflict. As heretofore indicated. if the permission should be granted, it is quite likely that the use of the cable during the progress of the war at least, might be brought about by certain con- ditions, but even as to that point no definite decision has been reached.
 It is said at the war department that this is the only outlet possible for Japan under present concessions. The Great Northern company, it is stated, is the only company which has cables running Into Japan and that is Dap- ish company which is under Russian control, it being the land line along the Siberian railway to the Asiatic coast.
 Russia has made no protest to this government against the granting of permission ct land the cable at Guam. It is assumed by Washington officials that if a protest is made it will be filed through regular diplomatic channels. What action the United States would take in that event, cannot be foretold, as it would depend entirely on the cir cumstances of the case.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-The architec- tural changes in the White house were the subject of a large share of to-days discussion in the senate, and they were generally criticised as falling short of improvements which should have been secured with the $5nJ,o0o appropriated for the purpose. The discussion arose in connection with the consideration of the bill providing for the erection of a building for the joint use of the depart ments Of state, justice and commerce. Consideration of the bill was not con- cluded.

WILL BRoWN PEAT BALLa
Trouble Over Ruiea Makes Outlook
 Even nIore Dubious.


 Providence, Feb, 29.-The board of di- rectors of the Brown University Athlet- ic association was in session until late hour tonight discussing the situation created by. the refusal of the university corporatiof, to allow the recently adopt ed eligibility rule to go into effect prior to the meeting of the corporation in September. The question of whether Brown would play ball team this spring under the old rules was consider ed at length, but no decision was reach- ed. It is understood that the committee will meet again tomorrow night. The rule adopted by the directors and held up by the corporation. Is a virtual re- peal of the long standing rule against professionalism in university athletics.
 Baseball practice has been brought to a standstill and the prospects for a Brown nine in the field this spring are considered by many osthe leading uni- versity athletes to be anything but bright.

LYNCHING IN MISSISSIPPI.
Governor vardaman Declares the Law
 Must be Upheld.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. Ex-Governor vardaman gave an interview to-day on the subject of lynching in which he said:
 T can sympathize thoroughly with one whose friend or relative has been outraged or atrociously murdered by a black brute, and I am not going to cen- sure people who act little indiscreetly under the influence of passion thus aroused. But there is one thing cer- tain-the law must be upheld, and so long as I occupy the gubernatorial chair I shall do all within my power to see that the laws are enforced. The Acourts must perform their functions. When this is done the people will be satisfied"

The governor wired Major Dement, of this city to call out the state militia, and to protect the ne- gro prisoner "at all hazards" The two militia companies here and one from Newton were put under arms at once and tonight are drawn about the jail square, permitting none to enter with out pass from the military command CT.

BRITISH NAVAL MEASURE.
TW0-PoWER STANDARD MUST
 BE MAINTAINED.

Parliament Told That the Greatest
 Power for Peace In the World is
 Brifain's Navy and Also the Most
 Powerful Instrument of war-Rs-
 marhabIe Gunnery by the Leviathan.
 London, Feb. 29.-In introducing the naval estimates in the House of Com mons to-day Ernest G. Pretyman, sec retary to the admiralty. justified the increase in the estimates on the ground that the two-power standard must be maintained. The Russian battleship programme, as well as the programme of the other friendly naval powers, had been taken into consideration in fram- ing the estimates. Russia and France together had built, or were building, sixty-four first and second-class bat tleships, and France and Germany combined were building, or had built, sixty-one battleships, while the British total was sixty-three battleships. So Great Britain was close up to the two power standard.
 Tn considering the estimates the gov- ernment had shown due diligence in re- gard to British commerce.
 The secretary concluded with saying that, despite the heavy estimates, the naval policy of Great Britain was pure ly defensive. Recent events in the Far East showed the necessity for prepar- edness to strike the first blow and so obtain incalculable advantage. The greatest power for peace throughout the world, he added. was the British navy, which was also the most powerful in strument of war in the world.
 Tn the course of his speech Secretary Pretyman, referring to the great im- provement in shooting in the British navy, instanced the British armored cruiser Leviathan, which, steaming at twelve knots, fired ten rounds from her 9.2-inch guns in two minutes and hit a 14 by 20 feet target ten times at a range of 2,00O yards.
 The debate was initiated by J. H. Roberts Oiberal), who moved a resolu- tion calling on the government, in the interest of international peace, to com municate with the other great powers and ascertain whether they are willing to diminish their shipbuilding pro- gramne and adjust the balance of their relative naval strength on a permanent basis.
 MT. Arnold Forster. secretary of war, as a member of the defense committee, said that he was of the opinion that his maj jesty's government had done enough in the direction of the proposal to the continental governments for reduc- ton of arfna1r1ei1ts. The government was prepared to consider proposals from any foreign government for re- duction of naval armaments, but Great Britains naval strength was vital ne- cessity. There was not a single couil- try of Europe which could not abolish it's fleet tomorrow, so far as any dan ger of an invasion by Great Britain was concerned, but the moment Great Brit aims maritime supremacy was gone she might be invaded any day.
 MT. Roberts resolution was defeated by 174 to 122 votes.
