of instructions to special agents of
your Office, approved by me on
January 80, 1904, relative to their
duties under the act of February
rs, 1886 (23 Stat, 321), entitled
An net to prevent unlawful occ-
upancy of the public lands,,' you
are advised that said circular is
hereby amended and modified as
follows.
Strike out from said circular
paragraphs ) and 6, and insert in
lieu thereof the following:
1t shall he the duty of the special
agent on receipt of any charge or
complaint or upon information be-
ing acquired by him from any
source, that an unlawful inclosure
is being maintained by any person
or persons, ASSOCIATION, or cor
poration, to at once proceed to
secure sufficient data, including a
description of the lands inclosed,
with reasonable certainty, not ne
cessarily by metes and bounds, nor
by Goveremental subdivisions of
surveyed land, but only so that
the inclosure may be identified and
the person or persons guilty of
the violation, as nearly us may be

Of whom the Greek consuls at Caica-

listed, are on trial today in the circuit
court. In the preliminary hearing the

appeared for the Greek consuls, but he
is not attending the present trial s.
J. Shoomkoff, editor of a Bulgarian
newspaper at Hopkins, Mich, is serv-
ing as interpreter. He is graduate
of Purdue university.
The specific charge against the
two men is that they demanded mon
ey of a baker named Demetrius. with
threats to kill him and cause his re-
iatfyes in Macedonia to be killed. The
complications Of nativity and citizen
ship get TOO deep for even the lawyers
in the case. The accused men are
said to be Bulgarians. but they had
passports from the Turkish govern
ment from Macedonia as native Ma
cedonians, and Demetrius himself has
a similar passport The Bulgarians
say that all parties to the affair are
under the protection of the Turkish
government and that the legation at
Washington is closely watching the
case.

"A. M. |. S." Has a Word
to Say to the Ministers
About Subject of SUM-
day Baseball.

Is it possible that the Richmond
ministers wish to make criminal on
one day in the week an amusement
upon which they look with favor on
all the other days? ! wonder why. 1t
must be because they consider Sunday
a day to be particularly guarded.
If so, let them keep it holy, but
why should they ask the law TO COM
pei other people to follow the dictates
of their (the ministers) conscience in
stead of each individual judging for
himself what is right as long as he
chooses morality. And that which is
a healthful pastime on six days, why
should it be criminal on the first?
/ do not think our legislators should
be urged to interfere with the Ameri-
can much priced liberty.
The fad for Sunday legislation re-
minds me of the reason a boy gave
for the Pilgrim Fathers coming to
America. THAT they might follow the
dictates of their own conscience and
make other folks do the same"

so frail that it needs the law to sup

ON A NINE HOUR SCALE
RICHMOND TELEGRAPHERS ARE
VERY HAPPY.
Murphy Bill Which Has Been Passed
by Congress Considered
Great Victory.

Richmond telegraphers in the en-
ploye of the Pennsylvania and c. c.
| & L. railroads, are particularly happy
at the present time all due to the pas
sage of the Murphy bill by the Unit
ed States senate. The bill requires all
railroads to grant the telegraphers in
their employ nine hour day working
scale, instead of the present twelve
hour system. The bill although hav-
ing passed both the house and senate
and has received the signature of the
president, will not become effective
until one year, SO that the railroads
of the country may get the new sys-
tenn in working order. The Pennsyl-
yania system it is said will not delay
in the arrangements as it wishes to
have every thing running smoothly
by the first of March, next year.
When the bill passed the Richmond
telegraphers received the following
message from l.. ID. Quick of st. Louis
the national secretary and treasurer
of the Brotherhood of Railway Tele-
graphers:
Nine hour a day bill passed by
congress and signed by the president
will become effective one year from
date. Greatest victory ever accom-
plished. Notify the boys"

Monday and end Saturday, SO that
there was not one sugar day except
during that week. Such seasons are,
of course. exceptional. The best SUI
gar making weather is when a heavy
snow is on the ground and the sun
starts in early to melt it. Then each
night it freezes and each day thaws
and the sap seems to rush from the
trees in an endless stream.
.sSap should be handled just as
soon after it leaves the tree as posi-
BILE. If it is kept exposed to the air
the syrup will be dark and not so mild
in flavor as if boiled while fresh.
1t should be boiled as fast as it can
be without scorching. for If it is al
lowed to simmer and lag along the
molasses will be inferior. Dry wood
which imparts an intense, quick heat
should be used altogether.
Orchards Being Destroyed.
THE sugar orchards of this county
are rapidly being destroyed, and the
reason for this may be seen in any
log yard, where fine sugar trees cut
into lengths are piled. The high
prices offered for sugar trees large
enough for saw timber persuade
farmers to part with source OF rev.
enue which grows better every year.
Any sugar camp can be operated at a
large profit nowadays.
IF the old time boys and girls
should wander back to the sugar
camps of their childhood they would
find things changed indeed. Every
thing about the old camps has been
improved and bettered except the ro-
nance: that has been destroyed by
the introduction of modern scientific
appliances"

SAFETY GATES PROBABLE.

The old question of building safety
gates at the local Pennsylvania station
is still hanging fire, and although the
railroad has made no move toward
their realization, it is understood that
the plans for the Improvement are al
ready completed, but as to the date
when the gates will be installed none
of the local officials will state.
1t, however, has been demonstrated
at the station that gates are needed
and especially during the busy times
of the informing and afternoon, when
the majority of the trains center here,
that passengers may make connec-
TONS Persons stepping outside OF the
station have but few feet to go before
they step upon the tracks, and already
several narrow escapes have been
made by the unwary.
1t is given to understand that the
new safety gates will not be built un-
til the new electric light plant has
been installed in its entirety and
number of improvements made in the

PUSH BUTTON TRUCKS.

The Pennsylvania will eventually
supply all of it's larger stations with
push button trucks, such as are now
used in the Broad street station in
Philadelphia. The trucks are motor
affairs, and instead of the baggage
handlers pulling their lives away IN
the endeavor to get all baggage loaded
on the trains, which its owners wish,
one man can easily manipulate the
trucks by a small push button. The
motor does the rest. They run at a
good speed and are easily operated.
Handling of baggage in the larger
stations of the Pennsylvania has al
ways been a problem to the railroad
officials. in that it is very hard to
ship the baggage on the same trains
on which its owners ride, there being
so much of it to handle and so many
trains to make

sWAMPEp BY FREIGHT.

1--WE are swamped," said an employe
at the Pennsylvania freight house
yesterday, when he was asked
as to the present amount of freight
being handled in and through Rich
mond The local freight force. among
their other duties have to unload and
reload all freight cars when they are
partly filled with consignments to the
same points Several cars each day
find their way into Richmond, all
bound for the same destination but are
only partially loaded. These are UNI
loaded and all goods reloaded into one
car 1t is in this manner that local
shippers have benefited SO much, as
a surplus number of cars are left here.
The amount of freight handled in
and out of Richmond is enough to
keep the present freight force busy
and with its combined duties il is
rushed all the time.

RATES HAVE BEEN RAISED.

As predicted several days ago, all
commodity freight rates on the rail
roads north of the Ohio river and east
of the Mississippi river have been
raised This paper made the an
nouncement that the grain rates would
be raised but now the railroad Off
Gals have decided to raise the coal
rates at least five cents on the hun
bred pounds. Other commodity rates
are raised accordingly. Merchandise
rates will remain the same till the
committee recently appointed by the
representative railroad officials Of the
middle west makes its report to the
officials the latter part of April. The
committee is now at work on a salts
factory schedule and it is probable
that the report will be made and ac-
copied at the proper time.
The new freight rates do not go into
effect until April l, but even at that
time the increase will be felt in Rich
mond, as April will open the spring
building season, and the large amounts
of cement which are used yearly in
building construction in Richmond
will increase in cost, and building men
say that for time will affect the use
of cement in this city.

STRICTLY ENFORCING THE RULE.

The Pennsylvania railroad is at the
present time strictly enforcing the
rule of the company which forbids
men under the influence of intoxicat-
ing liquors to purchase tickets. or
board the trains of the company. Men
are forbidden to use liquor on board
the trains. Almost every day some
man presents himself at the local tick
ct office to purchase a ticket, but
should there be any doubt as to wheth-
err or not he is drunk, the ticket is
withheld. An incident occurred at the
local station the other day which
proved the wisdom of the company's
rule. A decidedly "soused" individual
presented himself at the ticket win
dow, but was refused ticket He
again went to an emporium where the
red spirits were sold and imhibed
freely. When he came back to the
station he attempted to board a train
but was refused admittance. and
while he was arguing the question, the
train pulled out of the station, much to
the relief of the employees of the COM
pany. The employees have received
strict orders to not under any cir
cumstances permit loaded men to
board trains. as their presence is dis
tasteful to other and sober persons.
