Latest Kansas Events.
Coffeyville is Dissatisfied.

The Coffeyville traffic bureau has
filed with the interstate commerce
commission five complaints against
the Santa Fe, Missouri Pacific and
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railways,
charging them with maintaining
rates which discriminate against Cot
feyville. The rates cited are those
from st. Louis to Omaha and from
Kansas City to Omaha. Coffeyville
is the same distance from these
points as Omaha is, yet 1t is alleged
that Omaha has much better rates
from them than Coffeyville has. Two
complaints are based upon this. The
other three are based upon the rates
on glass and roofing tile from Corey
Vile to certain points as against the
rates from other cities making the
same products.

TA1EHAD N0CASE.
United States Supreme Court Dis
missed Kansas Petition in the
M. X. & T. Land Suit.
NO RIGHT TO INTERVENE
The Court Holds the Trusteeship Did
Not Extend Beyond Boundaries of
the State-Land in Indian
Territory.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The Stub
bornly contested case Of the state of
Kansas against the United States,
which was brought as an original
action in the supreme court of the
Uni,ed States, was decided by that
court Monday by Diminishing the
states petition to be adjudged the
owner, as trustee, for the Missouri
Kansas & Texas Railway company,
of vast and valuable tracts of coal
and farming lands in Indian terri
tory. The courts opinion was hand
ed down by Chief justice Fuller.
The question involved in the Indian
Territory land grant case was the val
idity of the railroad company's right
to land in Indian Territory over
which many legal and political battles.
have been fought The controversy
dates back to 1866, when Congress-
made a donation of ten section, or
G,400 acres of land in Kansas per
mile of road in that state. This was
to be held in trust and afterward
transferred to the Union Pacific
railroad company for the construc-
struction of a Southern branch run
ming from Fort Riley southwark to-
ward Fort Scott through Kansas and
Indian Territory and undertook to
make the same grant to lands in In
dian Territory whenever the Indian
title shall be extinguished by treaty
or otherwise
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas COM
pany comes into the case as the sue
cessor of the Union Pacific, and Kan
as appeared as the trustee for that
company under the congressional act
The Kansas portion of the grant hav
ing been awarded long ago, 1t was
entirely eliminated from the suit
which covered the grant in Indian
Territory only. The land involved
lies entirely within the bounds of
Creek nation and embraces 516,480
acres.
After referring to the estimate of
$10,000,000 as the value of the lands,
the chief justice said it appeared that
the state of Kansas Is only nomially
party and that the real party in In
terest Is the railroad company. Sec
ton 3 of the law making the grant"
he said, provided that patents
should be issued not to the state, but
to the company direct, which made
the state nothing but mere conduit
for the passage of title. And this 10
so even If it were ruled that the state
was made trustee under Section 9,
because it would only be the trustee
of the bare legal title. The road in
aid of which the grant was made to
the state extended no further than thS
southern boundary thereof, and it
seems clear that the lands in Indian
Territory were not intended to be
granted to that state for the construc-
ton of a road beyond its boun-
daries.'
Closing, the chief justice said the
court was not dealing with the merits
of the controversy, but solely with
the original jurisdiction of this court
and as the United States has not con,
scented to be sued, it results that on
this ground also the bill must be dis
missed"
