not made by the railroad until several
years later and in the meantime large
portion of this land was also taken up
by settlers. For years the matter was
under consideration by the general land
officers and secretary of the interior.
The settlers, however, had never been
able to secure a patent to the lands,
but the government issued patents tC
the railroad company. When these
facts were made known the govern
ment notified the railroad company that
their title to the lands had been given
through error and asked that the lands
be relinquished in favor of the settlers.
This the company refused to do and
the settlers not caring to engage in lit
igation finally agreed to purchase from
the railroad company. The suits now
are being brought by the government
to compel the railroad company to re-
fund the money that was paid by the
settlers. There are about 500 cases in
all, but only four are being tried at
this time. They involve the home
steads of Lorenzo Hammer, James
Kenworthy, Goldsmith Hammer and
John Romano, the land being in Col
umbia county, near Huntsville.

Gil. H. H. Turner, cashier of the Baker,
Boyer bank is heartily in sympathy
with the water proposition. Mr.. Turner
believes, however, that the water de-
partment should be divorced from all
other city business and placed in the
hands of a water commission, COM
posed of representative business men,
and that instead of paying for sewer
extensions out of the water revenues,
as now in vogue, that assessment or
local improvement districts should be
created to provide funds for such i'm
provements, charging the expense
against the property so benefited. Mr..
Turner was authority for the state
ment that $4,000 has been taken out
of the revenues of the water depart
ment the past two years to pay for
sewer extensions that should properly
be borne by property owners.
In making the rounds of the bust
ness houses many of the merchants
were too busy to be interviewed and

ING CASES BROUGHT BY THE
GOVERNMENT.
Important Litigation Involving Over
Five Hundred Tracts of Land in
State of Washington.

Before John H. Pedigo, master in
chancery of the United States court for
the district of eastern Washington, this
morning was taken PIP a number of
suits instituted by the United States
government versus the Northern Pa
cific Railroad company, involving the
title to over 500 tracts of land in this
section of the state. The cases have
in the federal courts for many years,
but have never been brought to issue
until this time Under an order sign
ed by Federal Judge Whitson Mr.. Ped
igo began hearing the cases today. He
will not pass upon the cases, however,
his instructions being only to take the
testimony Of the complainant and the
defendant. The government is repre-
scented by Edward E. Cushman, assist
ant to the attorney general Of the Unit
ed States, while Edward J. Cannon of
Spokane is appearing for the railroad
company H. S. Blandford is repre-
senting John Romano, one Of the set
tiers.
The taking Of testimony occupied the
entire day and was very complete, the
witnesses being the persons who settled
on the land and attempted to secure
title under the preemption and home
stead laws.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Thrown by a

RUTLAND, VT, Jan. 5.-Grant r.
Beebee Of Boston, and John H. Whit
tikind, also of Massachusetts, both very
wealthy, have come to Vermont to ben
eft their health and incidentally to
show the native lumbermen that city
men are not afraid of hard work. The
two men have bought about 10000
acres of valuable timber land in
Shrewsbury and Snerbourne. erected a
mill upon it, and will spend the winter
cutting the trees and saving the lum-
Der for the Boston market. Clad in
leather jackets, rough wooden pants
and moccasins, like the Vermont lum-
herman, they shoulder their axes every
morning at daylight and keep up all
day with the best Of their employees in
sutting down the big trees.
The tract which these men have
bought contains one Of the few forests
Of primeval spruce timber in the state.
They will cut none bu the largest trees.
So determined are they to preserve the
forest with a view to having big tim
Der to sell for years to come, that offers
for several thousand young Christmas
trees were refused this fall.
There is one piece Of woods that
contains 400 spruce trees measuring
eight inches through seventy-five feet
from the ground. These will be peeled
and shipped as masts.

more charming spot could have been
selected for the meeting of the interna-
tional conference on the Moroccan
question than Algeciras, which is a
town of about $4,000 inhabitants, stu
ated picturesquely on the Gulf of Glib
raltar, only about five miles across the
bay from Gibraltar. The climate is
almost tropical and at this time Of the
year most beautiful and pleasant. The
accommodations of the town are quite
fair, as it is frequently visited by
tourists Of the globe trotter' species,
who know a good hotel from bad one
and insist upon having the best any
city may offer. The government has
placed one Of the government buildings
at the disposal Of the conference and
mas made the most elaborate prepara-
tons for the convenience Of the repre-
sentatives Of the foreign governments
The conference was formally opened
this afternoon by M. Paul Revolt, the
principal French representative, who
will undoubtedly play a leading part
in the conference. 1t is a highly i'm
portant gathering, and it is well under
stood, that the peace of Europe de-
Ponds, in large measure, upon the re-
suits of the deliberations of the con-
ference. The latter was called at the
request of the sultan of Morocco, af-
ter all negotiations between Morocco
and France concerning the latter's de-
mand for positive assurance from the
sultan Of Morocco regarding the secu-
rity of the frontiers mad failed. France
was not willing at first to consent to
an international conference for the set
Element Of questions which, in the
opinion of the French government,
concerned only France and Morocco.
The matter, however, became the sub
ject of extensive negotiations between
the other powers and Germany took
so decided a stand in favor of Morroc-
CO. that France finally assented to the
holding Of the conference.
The situation between France and
Germany, already strained by the an
tagonistic position taken by Emperor
William, was aggravated by the publi-
cation in France of certain dispatches
and official documents, which involved
severe criticisms of the attitude Of the
German emperor. To Offset the effect
of the statements contained in the
yellow book published by the French
government Germany published a
white book, which was practically an
answer to the charges and criticisms
contained in the French yellow book.
This added to the friction and what
aggravated the situation still more
was the fact that M. Rouvier insisted
upon selecting M. Revolt as the repre-
sentative Of the French government
at the conference, Notwithstanding the
plain hints given out by the German
official organs that M. Revolt was per-
soma non grata in Berlin.
Practically nothing will be done at

History Of tho Cases.

The history of the cases in brief is
as follows: When the Northern Pa
cific road was projected from Duluth
to the Pacific coast by an act of con-
gress the company was given a land
section for 40 miles on both sides of the
route. When the road was completed
and the railroad company began tc
take possession of the land it was
found that much of it had been filed
on by settlers previous to the grant to
the railroad Congress then passed the
lieu land grant, giving the company
other lands for those taken up by the
settlers. The lieu land selections were

resentatives of the powers will merely
exchange their accreditives and will
then probably hold a mere informal
meeting, for the purpose Of arranging
