MAY SUE FOR LAND
100000 ACRES
SUBJECT OF RESOLUTION.

Two million acres OF land In California
and Oregon. vested In the California and
Oregon Railroad Company. owned by the
Central Pacific and controlled by E. H.
Hartman, will be subjected to suits for
recovery of title by the United States. If
action taken yesterday by the committee
on public lands Is sustained by the House.
The committee agreed to report favorably
without amendment a resolution, which
already has passed the Senate, empow-
ering and directing the Attorney General
ito bring suits for the recovery by the
United States Of title to public lands
granted to certain western railroad COM
panies in cases where the conditions stip-
ulated In the grants have not been COM
piled with-such conditions, for example,
as governed the grant of lands to the
Oregon and California Railway Company
in the Co.'S It is claimed that under
the grant the lands were to be thrown
open by the company to sale to bona fide
settlers Of the United States at not more
than $3.50 an acre and in parcels not ex-
ceeding 100 acres each.
Hartman Refused to Sell.
It Is charged that immense areas Of
these lands were sold by the Oregon
and California in violation Of the condi-
lions named. The refusal of Mr.. Har-
riman. announced by himself at the irri-
cation congress at Sacramento last year,
to sell any portion of the remaining 1000,
GOO acres led to the introduction by Sen
ator Tillman of the resolution which the
public lands committee acted on favorably
yesterday
Chairman Mondell was authorized to
draw the report Of the committee. which
he will do this week. In discussing the
action Of the committee Mr.. Mondell said:
1T Is the intention Of the committee
to draft a resolution. separate from this
one, and present it to the House. should
the present resolution be adopted. which
will clearly indicate that no right to enter
or attach any claim to any of these lands
shall be acquired by any person until
at least year after the final judgment Of
a court shall have been rendered.
This would not tie up these lands for
year. however. The expectation would
be that within that period Congress would
take action touching the rights of pur-
chasers from the railroad companies with
regard to the future disposition of the
lands now held by the companies should
4 forfeiture be declared. The second
resolution will be due notice to everybody
that there shall be no authority to enter
and chat no rights shall attach"

NEW YORK, March 21.-It Is under
stood that whenever the stock market
has been strong this week there has been
considerable profit taking. even in the
issues regarding which the news develop
ments have been most favorable. Yes
terday when it was reported that prom
inent banking firm in this city had be-
come identified with the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company 1t is claimed that there
was profit taking in Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit stock on purchases made by well-in-
formed interests in the neighborhood Of
TO- 1t is also said that there was fair
amount of United States steel stock sold
on the publication Of the excellent an
nual report.
Some observers believe that the fore
going feature clearly shows that the most
active operators in the market are not
at all disposed to buy stocks for long
pull, but on the contrary think that profits
can be made for some time only by trad
ing conservatively for moderately quick
returns. In some circles 1t is thought that
the market will soon run into another
period of extreme dul.ness, to be followed
that will carry prices up again.
Others are disposed to believe that the
character of the market for some weeks
will be much the same as that OF the last
few days. Some optimistic interests
weeks prices will be given a very sharp
advance in order that stocks may be fur
Their distributed prior to the national pres
idential convention.

Railroad men seem to be apprehensive
regarding the labor situation. Those In
direct charge Of the operation OF the rail-
roads maintain steadfastly that not only
must wages be reduced, but that the en-
ployes must render a higher degree of
efficiency Some railroad officials who are
taking a particularly gloomy view OF the
labor situation think that there will be
serious disturbances among railroad forces
before the whole question is finally ad-
justed.
It Is believed in circles In which the
document was given careful consideration
yesterday that the United States Steel
annual report will be an important factor
in the market for some time to come.
AS time advances 1t Is thought that the
Importance of having in this country a
corporation with the strength In every
respect Of the steel corporation will be
more fully realized than it has been thus
far.

The turnover on the cloth market was

UNwARRANTED CRITICISM.

It Is unfortunate for the under standing of the real issue involved in the Lilley controversy that the news paper friends and supporters of that gentleman do not substitute for their attacks on the Journal-C Courier and it's editor a reply to the challenge of both to tell wherein, beyond tho redemption of machine promises made more than year and a half ago, his fitness for the office of governor lies There must be some reason why in their judgment he should be made the gov ernor of Connecticut some reason based upon his public record and use- ful experience, and for one we are anxious to learn it, and discuss 1t from the point of view of state needs.
 The Waterbury American, carefully concealing it's reasons why MT Lilley should be nominated, goes far out of It's usual independent and consderate way to tell it's readers that this news- paper deliberately misrepresented the political incident of the recent outing of the New Haven Business Mems as sociation. We did not attempt "to pervert the New Haven Business Men s banquet Into an anti-Lilley demonstra- tion." The story as told in this news paper of that gathering was exact in every essential detail. It is of no con sequence whatever whether some oth- CT new spaper had a different tale to tell The only two regularly accred- ited newspaper men present represent ed The Journal Courier All other newspaper accounts filtered down | through a number of conversations with those present and untrained in thes art of reporting incidents of the character alluded to. Not one manu- | luCtuTeu UT Nulllltu COIlllDullDll ldo been made to the Lilley controversy in this newspaper, nor will there be if 1t can be helped by watchful eyes.
 The Bridgeport Standard is equally wrong when it declares that The Journal-Courer is using against MT. ! Lilley the case as made up and adopt ed by his enemies in Washington" " We have never seen such case; no such case exists. What does exist Is a report, unnecessarily vicious in tone, based upon stenographic minutes which show beyond the shadow of a doubt that MT.

FUTURE OLyMPIADs.

It would be particularly regrettable if the result of the athletic unpeas- antness of last week should result in the abandonment of the present mod ern revival of the classic Olympic games of Greece. "Thoughtful men in England have serious doubts and these doubts arc expressed in some of the most influential newspapers, says the telegraphic reports, "as to whether the Olympian games serve any good pur- pose, While, theoretically, they are supposed to foster international friend ships the result of the meeting just finished has been to create internation- al dissensions and kindle animosities The relations between the English and American athletic officials have be- come so strained that it will be ex- ceedingy difficult for representatives, of the two nations to arrange any competitions in the future or carry them out without unpleasant incid- ents.'
 If our American athletes have any good reason to believe as they un- ldoubtedly do, that they are good losers.

now seems to be the time for them to show 1t, The London press has un- swervingly upheld the decision of the game officials in the mueh-talked-of iOO-meter flat race, which was that in was not participated in again by the American athletes Saturday when run over again, but 1t has as consistently urged that the "unsavory incidents" as 1t calls 1t, should be allowed to drop into oblivion in order that the future of the olymplan games may not be jeopardized, It is high. time for the American press to join with the Lon don press and urge that the incident be pronounced closed" and refuse to discuss 1t further,
 It might be well, If 1t were only pos sible, to inject some of the religious element that the original Olympian games possessed into these revivals. To have questioned the iinality of q decision in the original games in Greece would have been to commit q religious sacrlege, since 1t was thought that the gods themselves sat In judg- ment upon what happened If there was the least dispute, ar omen from them was sought that was final

Mir. LIllcy's Tainted skirts.


 Very frequently during the past month prominent business men of Win sted have expressed to the Citizen in no unmistakable terms their opposition to the candidacy of George l.. IIilley for the republican nomination for gov ernor of Connecticut How any man who has the taint upon his skirts of the charges of deception which were made by. the congressional committee in the submarine boat investigation against MT. Lilley can ask for the votes of tho people of the state of Connecticut for the highest office within the state and can expect the support of honest Amer lean citzens until he has cleared him self of the charges Is past belief. The report of the congressional committee, which was accepted by the national house of representatives, covers about eighty-eight pages. |"' When read to q prominent manufacturer of this town to-day he was astounded and exclaimed: If l never heard anything else about MT Lilley, that would satisfy me that he Is no man that tho state wants for governor"
