TO ABOLISH ONE.
VIII Be Only Three Land Of
fees in Kansas.
How State Will Be Divided in
New Plan.

Washington, Nov. est a letter to
Senator Long. w. A Richards, COM
missioner of the general land Office,
states the purpose of the department of
the interior to consolidate the four land
districts of Kansas into three. The
offices at present are located at Topeka,
Dodge City. WaKeeney. and Colby.
The consolidation is to be made under
authority of law which provides that
when the number of acres of vacant
public land in a district is reduced to
less than 100000 acres, the secretary of
the interior shall discontinue such land
office; and under another statute which
provides that when the expenses of a
land district are more than one-third
of the whole amount of revenue collect
ed in such district, the president is
authorized to discontinue such land Of
flee.
The vacant public land in the Colby,
Kansas. district on the first of July last
was $4,000 acres; in the Dodge City dis
trict $4,000 acres; in the WaKeeney
district, 225.000 acres. There is no va
cant land in the Topeka district.
The expense of each office in Kansas
last year was more than one-third of
the whole amount collected at the par
ticular office.
The department proposes to take the
counties of Smith, Osborne, and parts
of Mitchell and Jewell, which are now
in the Colby district, and the counties
of Rice, Reno, Kingman, Harper, Sum-
Mcpherson, Marion, and Chase, which
are now in the Dodge City district. and
attach them to the Topeka district.
1t is the purpose to take the counties
of Greeley, Wichita, Scott, Lane, Ness,
and Rush, which are now in the Wa
Keeney district, and attach them to the
Dodge City district.
1t is the purpose to take the remain
iv1cr fiae of VOL nd Col
by districts, and form a new district,
with the land office at Colby.
The land office is retained at Topeka
under the provision of law which auth
orizes the secretary of the interior TO
continue and land office which is situa
ted at the capital of a state, notwith-
standing that the vacant quantity of
100000 acres.
1t is probable that the consolidation
will be made in the near future.

ply of blankets kept me warm, and but
for the worry and anxiety 1 should
have almost called it a picnic. Among
the whalers of the North and South
seas boat is allowed to leave the
ship, even to go half a mile, without
food and blankets, and in many cases
an alcohol stove is added. 1t was to
this inffexible rule that L owed my
life.
On the afternoon of the fourth day
after L had been watching the antics
of a'school of young whales for an
hour, Scotch whaler hove in sight
and came down and picked me up. She
had seen the smoke forty-f1ve miles
away, and took it for q ship on fire
but could not get down sooner on ac-
count of the ice. She had just reached
the cruising ground, and as it so hap
pened that we did not meet with an
American craft, 1 was compelled to
serve in her thirteen months before
making port. 1t was from her can
tain that 1 learned of the loss of the
Princess" which had taken place
quite four years before.
AS for my own craft she gave me
up as lost with the three others. and
so reported to owner and friends. and
when I finally made the home port
again it was to find a gravestone
erected in my memory and my com
ing back alive as among the miracles.

Shortage Was Settled.

London, Nov. 2S.-Lord Rothschild,
when questioned today by a repre-
sentive of the Associated Press re-
garding the alleged embezzlement of
100000 by Moses BIumenthal said
to have been head of the bullion de-
partment of the London house of the
Rothschilds, was incensed at what he
termed "such gross exaggeration" but
otherwise declined to discuss the mat
ter. The defalcations occurred in
July, not few weeks ago, as cabled
to the United States, and it was stated
at the time that the shortage was in
the neighborhood of $150,000. The
whole matter was settled privately
shortly after the embezzlement was
discovered

A TRAGEDY OF THE ICE.
nv M. Ouad.O

Our ship, the Craftsman" was slow
ly passing an iceberg hundred miles
off Cape Horn, when the captain made
out a lot of wreckage lying at the
base of the berg and sent four of us
off in the yawl to inspect and report.
When the berg was reached the mate
and two men scrambled on to the ice
for a closer look, leaving the boat in
my charge. They had reached shelf
above me and two hundred feet to the
east. when, without the slightest
warning, the great lump of ice began
to split and quake. and down came
thousands of tons into the sea- The
three men must have met instant
death, while as for the boat she was
shot to a distance of half a mile as
if moved by steam.
