acres, were entered In the Cheyenne dis
trict Wyo., and transferred immedi-
ately after proof to a land and ditch

MESSAGES QUOTED.

Senator Gibson quotes from the re-
ports and messages OF long line of
presidents. secretaries OF the Interior,
and commissioners OF the general lind
office, condemning the desert land act
the communication clause OF the home
stea act, and the timber and stone act,
among them President Roosevelt, who

gress, Dec. 2. 1902, makes this clear
statement

rlculture, and to whatever extent they
may be reclaimed under the national IT.
rigation law. the remaining public lands
should be held rigidly for the home
builder, the settler who lives on his
land, and for no one else. In their ac-
tual use, the desert land law, the tim
Der and stone law, and the commuta-
ton clause Of the homestead law have
been so perverted from the intention
with which they were enacted, as to
permit the acquisition Of large areas OF
the public domain for other than actual
settlers and the consequent prevention
of settlement"

TIMBER AND STONE ACT.

Senator Gibson continued:
Although this act has been repeated
ly called TO the attention of Congress,
and the unlawful disposition Of the
public timber lands made possible by
It, the law still stands upon the statute
book as a monument TO the wasteful-
ness and injustice OF our national land
policy. II the fraudulent appropriation
of public timber and its disposal at
nominal prices during the last half CEN
fury In the states OF the upper MissIs-
sippi valley could be correctly pub
llshed, the statement would astound
the people OF the United States. Had
the nations interest In the pine timber
OF that region alone been faithfully pro-
tected sufficient money would have been
saved to construct two Panama tide
water canals, besides retaining all the
irrlgable arid lands beyond the Miss
isslppi. Now, however when we can
more fully realize the worth of timber
lands. II becomes nothing less than a
crime TO maintain upon the statute
books an act under which valuable tim
Der lands can be acquired In unlimited
areas at $3.50 per acre.

"You make your church laws stricter
than the word of Almighty God"
Rev. F. A. de Rosset, of Springfield,
said he spoke mot only for the protec-
ton of the Dien and women, husbands
and wives and children, but for the pro-
lection of the clergymeu." He claimed
that the old canon was not sufficient, and
said he had always been taught that the
fall of the Roman empire was through
the disintegration of the family.
Rathbone Gardner, of Rhode Island,
sid no clergyman could decide infallibly
whether party was guilty or not, and
TO put it up to one man, was not only
unreasonable but absurd. He did not
favor the canon at all, for he thought it
better to hurt the feelings of the inno-
cent party than to risk the chance Of
adulterous marriages.

Trouble In Labor Ranks.

Two rival factions in labor union
ranks are making plans for a struggle
for supremacy which will be fought out
at the meeting of the Central Labor
Union in Washington on next Monday
night. AT that time an attempt will be
made. it is said, on the part of faction
in the body which has up to the present
been in the minority to reorganize the
building trades section. 1t is predicted
that rupture Of serious proportions is
almost certain to occur. For some time
the Building trades THEORETICALLY known
as the Council of Allied Building Trades
have been the dominating influence
in the central body, as the result of con-
trolling majority of the membership,
and is M organization that is powerful.
The council has "run the central body"
in effect, and has stood firmly on more
than one occasion for the rights of
organized labor in Washington. Com.
paratively recent internal disturbances
arose in the council. They we're dealt
with firmly by the leaders and unions
in control, and as a result a number
Of strong unions were summarily ex.
PEELED from the council. They included
four carpenters unions, one plumbers
one marble cutters, one marble cutters
helpers and one painters union. The
fight against these organizations were
carried into the central body. and no
little discord has resulted. 1t is now
believed by the members of the council
that a crisis is at hand. Next Monday
night a report will be made to the Cen.
tral Labor Union by a committee APP
pointed some time ago to investigate
the internal troubles of the council.
The committee has finished its work, and
it is believed by the members of
the council that a report adverse
to them has been agreed upon.
1t is said that sharp controversy exists
at the present time In the ranks OF
organized labor in Washington. One
of these is indicated in the attempt of
President Samuel Gompes, of the
American Federation of Labor, to force
the Central Labor Union to expel the
union unless the latter body
agrees 10 unite with the plumbers
union, and the threat to revoke the
charter Of the Central Labor Union if
this is not done. This one question,
coming at the present time, whether by
accident or design, has served TO bring
about 3 rupture in the Central Labor
Union.

THE EVIDENCE before the coroners
;org which is investigating the Missouri
Pacific collision near Warrensburs, Mo-,
Monday. when 29 lives were lost and
more than 80 persons injured, tends to
fix the responsibility upon the freight
crew. three of whom are said to have
gone to sleep and failed to know that the
ll.fated passenger train had not gone by
before they started cut from Montserrat'
There are good reasons to suspect that
sleeping on the part of railroad employees
is often INDUCED in at points where one
train is compelled TO wait for another.
1t is also suggested that some recent ac-
cidents have resulted from trainmen fall
ing asleep while the cars were in motion.
The last terrible accident in this State,
a week or so ago, was caused by pas
senger train dashing past station where
II should have awaited train going in
an opposite direction. Many believe
the engineer was asleep. but, as he was
killed outright, it is Impossible to prove
that such was the case.

THE WAR IN THE EAST.

From reports received in Toxic from
Marshal Oyama and the other japanese
generals it is believed that the scene OF
the battle now raging extends from
Liaoyang to Mnkden. A general en-
gagement south of the Hun river is re-
garded as inevitable. A large force Of
Russians sent across the Taitse river has
apparently been isolated, and is prob
ably now captured by the japanese.
Reports have been received from Marshal
Oyama and Generals Nokzu, Oku and
Kuroki. They had all been written dur
ing the preliminary events, and none
give any definite results. At the time
they were written the japanese had sue
cessfully resisted the Russian attacks.
Russian dragons have captured copy
of a message from the Emperor Of Japan
to his troops, in which the Mikado says
be 10 awaiting news OF the decisive de.
feat of the Russians. He apparently is
in dread of Russian movement cutting
off the communications of his forces.
1t was reported that a sortie of the Rus
sian fleet at Port Arthur was contem-
plated, but was frustrated by japanese
bombardment. 1he Russian battleship
hetvizan, al Port Arthur, is reported to
have been seriously damaged by Jap
anese shells.
