undoubtedly to carry a party which
will watch closely the movements of
Charles Hays, general superintendent
of the Grand Trunk railway, and his
associates, who are going north about
the beginning of the week for the pur-
pose of looking into the respective sites
suggested as the Pacific terminus of
that railway.
The Fern was originally a tugboat.
Within the last few days, since it was
definitely known what the mission of
Mr.. Hays and mis- party was, work has
been pushed forward in transforming
the little steamer to suit her for the
purposes now intended. Work is being
carried on on her night and day, and
the greatest secrecy has been main
tanned in connection with it,
Homework has been built over the
whole vessel 1t is divided off into
state rooms with cabins, mess room
and galley. An electric plant is being
installed on board and an ample supply
of provisions for long voyage is being
taken on board. Capt. Shears, until
recently pilot on the steamer Princess
Victoria, it is stated, is going as mas
ter, and A. Pike has been engaged as
engineer.
The party which will go on the
steamer are believed to represent a
land company which has been endeav-
oring to ascertain before public an
nOuncement is made the location of the
terminus in the hope of making large
profits out of its sales.
The Hays party leaves by the Do
miniOn government steamer Quadra
keeping we'll in reach of that vessel
and thus note all its calling points
The company believed to be interested
is made up of Victorians and a few
American capitalists.
1t is we'll known that other land
spectators have their agents at va
riOus points in the north ready to re-
port the movements of railway officials
in the nope of arriving at correct con-
cluson as to the terminal point.

that most of their shops were running

Free Cattle Ranches.

Omaha. Neb., June 25.-Any citizen
of the United States who is the head
of o family and does not own more
than 100 acres of land now has q
chance to acquire cattle ranch IN
Nebraska for nothing. Under the
Kinkaid bill, which passed the last
Congress and becomes operativ tomor-
row, 1874. 757 acres, most of which
comprise as fine grazing land as there
is in the world, will be open to the
public as homesteads.
The lands affected by the Kinkaid
bill have been open for homesteading
in lots of 120 acres each, for many
years. but, not being suitable for ag-
ricultural purposes, and 120 acres not
being large enough on which to raise
cattle. the lands have never been
taken up by homesteaders However,
a square mile of this land will farnish
pasturage and feed for 100 head of cat
tie throughout the entire year.
Great tracts of this land have been
fenced by the cattle barons of Ne
braska, one concern having fenced ID
no less than 2.000,0 acres Of it.
These large cattle ranches now have
to give up the government land they
are using This is Etae last large
distribution Of land that the govern
ment will ever make.

1t is believed here that Gen. Kuro
patkin's object is to prevent juno

tory to a march On Lao Yang. The
approach of the rainy season will
more than likely precipitate matters.

The general staff has received a
dispatch from Liao Yang dated today.
It does not mentioned any serious
fighting. The Russian rear guard is
low at Zeu Chen: Gen. Kuroki's ad-
vance along the roads from Stu Yen,
leading respectively to Hal Chen. Ia
Che Chou and Kai Chou is being
warmly contested by Gen. Kuropat-
kin's outposfs. The column heading
for Kai Chou is the furtherest ad-
vanced but is still 80 miles distant. A
serious collision is regarded at the
war Office as unlikely for some days.
Gen. Kuroki's movements betrays a
tendency to 60 south and join Gen.
Oku. Gen. Kuroki's oQtposts are
fortifying the pass between Saimtaza

KURoPATKIN is CAUTIOUS.

St. Petersburg. June 24.-News
from the theatre of war indicates that
Gen. Kuropatkin will not give battle
to the combined armies of Gems Oku
and Kuroki near Ka Chou. Doubt is
now cast upon the impression prevail
ing for several days that the bulk of
the Liao Yang army had been advanc-
ing southwark, though it may be that
Gen. Kuropatkin is concentrating his
forces in the neighborbood cf Hal
Cheng. The only thing that can be
stated with certainty is that the in
formation received by the war office
shows that Gen. Kuropatkcin has no
intention of seriously contesting the
japanese advance on Kai Chou, which
would seem to carry with it the de-
cision to practically abandon the entire
peninsula to the ecemy and as neces-
sary consequence the withdrawal OF
the Russian troops from New Chwang.
Military critics approve Of Gen. Kuro-
patkin's decision not to fight at Ka
Chou, which they point out is par
ticularly unfavorable position exposed
to flank attack from Kuroki en- one
side and to possible landing at New
Chwang on the other. The japanese
forces engaged in this movement are
estimated at $50, 900 men and an enor-
nous number Of guns.
