LIKELY PREVENT PASSAGE
OF JONES' BILL.
Sales of Land Made by North

WASHINGTON. D. c., April. g.
Technical objection by the department
OF the interior seems likely to prevent
the passage of a bill introduced by
Representative Jones validating sales
Of lands made by the Northern Pacific
Railroad company within the limits of
its right of way A bill for this pur-
ton or without reference to the interior
department In the house. however, it
by Secretary Hitchcock reported adj

Northern Pacific right of way was not

conveyed no title to the railroad COM
pany: therefore, the railroad company
never had the right to any lands with
in its right of way, except those that
passed to the company under the reg
ular grant.
When he discovered this objection to
his bill, Representative Jones proposed
TO amend it by providing that con-
SreSS should validate sales of lands
only in those parts of the right OF way
which We're found to be odd numbered
sections. When this suggestion was
made to the interior department, the
secretary held that there was no ne
cessity for legisittion of this sort He
said that the railroad company acQuir-
ed title to odd numbered sections under
its grant, and this title applied as we'll

this reason he said there was no neces-

The missionary also relates cases in
which three Germans took refuge in

and had a reputation for depressing
the natives, and the third. named Mar

relations with them. Hostile Here
ros came to the missionary's house
and seized and shot the two traders,
but they spared Martens.
The missionary further asserted
that the Hereros rebelled partly
through the expressions of the traders,
partly owing to the cruelties inflicted
on them and partly on account of the
disregard OF the Germans for the
sacredness of the marital relations of
the natives. The instruments of pun

whips, twenty five strokes from which
a native is left bleeding and half dead.

lutherans LAX Of Union.

DETROIT Mich, April 6.-Lutheran
ministers of the United States, repre-
senting nearly all the various synods
Of the church in America, began a gem
eral free conference in Detroit today
and will remain in session until the
end of the week. The conference will
discuss the various points of differ
ence between the synodical bodies
and an attempt will be made to bring
about a closer union and a more per-
feet harmony in the Lutheran church
in the United States.
The principal synodical bodies Of the
church are the general conference, the
synodical conference, the general syn
Cd and the so-called independents
These bodies represent between fifty
and sixty separate synods, of which
about forty are represented at the
present conference. Among themselves,
the synod have waged almost constant
warfare on points of seemingly little
Importance, but which have caused
a great breach in the Lutheran church
The various theological questions
which have caused these differences
are to be exhaustively discussed at the
present conference. One of these
questions is that of predestination.
which caused a number Of the present
Independent synOds to secede from the
general bodies in 1880, when the dis
cussion was at its height. Another
point of difference in the synods is the
belief relative to the Roman Catholic
church and the pope. One of the sy-
nodical bodies believes that the pope is
the antiChrist. The great majority Of
the Lutherans, however do not accede
to this view.
The movement for closer harmony
in the Lutheran church originated
with Rev NJ. Bunge, of Arpin, Wis.

taken in the Panama matter.

to show Gen. Reyes the futility of
Colombia's efforts to regain Panama,

surprise to the general public, for
instead of a deficit small surplus.
something in the neighborhood of $50.
coo, will be shown. It is explained
that this surplus is due to the money
Senator Tillman obtained from the
United States on account Of Indian
and other claims. That sum will not
be available again this year in counting
the receipts, but it. is expected that
increased valuation of property and
increased receipts from other sources
will place the State on cash basis.
This is probable, even if nothing is
done in the way of tax roform, and
there will be numerous schemes on that
line to come before the Legislature.
1t was the supposed lack of funds that
operated against an appropriation for
the St. Louis Exposition. The bill in
reference to that is still on the Calen-
dar and maybe it is not too late yet to
do something towards having the State
represented at that Exposition.

fifteen were granted, which is quite
a falling of from previous years.
For chain gang otfenses the pardons

same The matter of pardnns is 1ue
which requires great deal Of atten
ton from the Governor. Petitions
are almost daily received, and it is no
uncommon thing for delegations to
call in behalf of some prisoner. 1t is
impossible for the Governor to review
all the papers presented to him. and
action is almost invariably taken on
the recommendation of the solicitor
and Judge. In many cases the jurors

menda pardon or communication. 1t
seems very easy mater for a great
many convicts to get all Of these en-
dorsemeuts for pardon, and whatever
the number granted by the present or
former Governors, it is insignificant
in comparison with the number Of
petitions presented. which are endors
ed by citizens. solicitors and Judges.
