The Republicans held their primaries
ir the several wards of the city last
evening for the purpose of selecting dele
gates to the convention to be held in
the city hall Saturday night. Ac-
cording to the big chiefs there was no
discord apparent and everything was
attended to in lovely manner. The
Republican slate is completed but there
is likely to be one or two changes in the
personnel Of the ticket which has been
selected at headquarters. 1t is claimed
that j. G. Williams will not stand for
denomination for alderman in the fourth
ward and Bert Seymour has announced
that he will not be a candidate for re-
election in the first. Mayor Davies,
however, will stand without hitching.

Washington, April 8. The
secretary of the interior has sent to

ommends to be passed providing that,
whenever mineral entries are made in
Alaska, six months notice shall be
given instead Of sixty days, as at pres

ed, because Of the slow transmission
Of mails, and . contest il made almost

NEW RAILROAD COMBINE.
New York Central and Pennsylvania 3
Be Dominant Factors.

New York Central and Pennsylvania to
Be Dominant Factors.
New York, April A-The Curb News
says:
The Curb News can state that the
New York Central and Pennsylvania
roads have practically agreed upon q
policy of extension and consolidation
that will unity the transcontiDental
service between New York and the
Pacific coast and place immense COM
binations Of important and extensive
railroad systems under single manage
ments, simplifying the operations Of
the different lines, and to great ex-
tent nullifyisg present end prospective
rate legislation.
These combinations have been un-
der consideration and in process OF
development for many years. At va
rious times they have been almost con-
summated when unexpected obstacles
caused their postponement, but under
the present national administration
conditions have arisen which make the
final adjustment of the relations Of the
various roads Imperative, and in q
short time the railroad map of the
United States will be very radically
changed.
CentraPs Side Of Plan
On the New York Central's side of
the policy of combinations, the compo-
sition can easily be guessed. The New
York Central, Lake Shore, Northwest
ern, Union Pacific, their branches and
connections, will make the Wander
bilt- Hartman system, with Hartman
in absolute and supreme control and
the Vandertilts simply security hold
ers.
For the Pennsylvania, according to
those in touch with the dominating
financial and railroad interests, the
Atehison has already been acquired.
and large amount of the stock of
that-road will go to the Baltimore &
Ohio treasury, to be paid for by the
issue of Baltimore & Ohio bonds,
guaranteed by the Pennsylvania road.
st, Paul, according to the. best in
formation, will complete it's lines to
the Coast and will also be absorbed by
the Pennsylvania.

RULING BY HITCHCOCK
ON COMPUTATIONS

Washington, April 5.-Secretary
Hitchcock has put all homesteaders on
public lands on notice that, if they
intend to commute their entries, they
shall reamin upon the land continu-
ously during eight months of the four
teen months communication period.
Three decisions, all along the same
line, have been handed down by the
secretary in the past month. In all
three cases the entrymen had offered
proof with their applications to COM
mute which was deemed insufficient as
to residence by the commissioner Of
the general land Office, whose opinion
was sustained by the secretary.
Under the practice iof the interior
department homesteader may take
six months to establish constructive
residence on the land covered by his
application-that is, he may take that
length of time to go upon his land and
build his house and start cultivation.
The Communication Period
The communication period is fourteen
months from the date of entry, when
the entryman, upon paying $1.25 an
acre for his holdings and submitting
satisfactory proof of residence during
that period, may receive patent for
the land covered by his entry.
The secretary is very positive in
holding that the last eight months Of
the Communication period shall be those
OF actual residence On this point he
says that in communication cases the
law not only requires that it shall be
clarly and satisfactorily appear from
the proof that the bona fide residence
was established within the six months
from the date Of entry, but also that
the actual residence upon the land
has been continuous from the time it
was established until the date of the
making Of final proof.
In the cases recently decided the
proof is rejected without prejudice,
which means that the entrymen are
privileged to go back upon the land
and establish residence and otherwise
comply with the law at any time with
in the five year life of the entry.
