Washington.-The supreme court of
the United States decided the case of
the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
Railway company VS.. John R. Dona-
hue, involving conflict over the
possession of land in the Cass Lake
land district of Minnesota, in favor
of Donahue. The land was settled by
homesteader through whom Dona-
hue made claim in 1898, before it had
been surveyed, but no effort was

survey had been made. In the mean
time the tract had been included in

in favor of the homesteader and the
federal court affirmed the decision.

| IT apQears from a statement made
by Roy n, Adams, county clerk OF

change the county seat from Mound
Cityyto Mounds last Tuesday was not
so close as has been claimed Ac-
! cCrling to his yie> the majority

law to bring about such removal. The
people of Mounds seem to have been
of the opinion that if they secured a
cast at the late general election,
the proposition would be carried, but
Mr. Adams contends that this is an
error asserting that it will require a
majority of the legal votes Of the
county and IN suEstantiation CT the
claim he quotes the following;
Section l05, chapter 81, page 5S7
of Hurd's Revised Statutes of 1905:

MI Adams states that the total
registered vote of pulaski county is
420C, and that the total vote cast
al the late general election was ISIS,
being considerably short of the total
number Of legal voters in the
county He argues therefore that
oven had Mounds secured a majority
of the vote east at the late general
election it would still be short con
siderably of the vote required by law. !

KANSAS CITY MARKETS.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. Seattle receipts last week were 60,000 head
 quite a reduction from the previous
 week, and a third smaller than a normal weeks supply a short time ago. The reason for the decrease is that cattle from Kansas pastures are now about all marketed, or have been put in feed lots. This relieves beef cattle from the southwest and west from a strong competition, and should help the market on them. The run from quarantine territory is also small, which practically leaves the market for grass cattle to be supplied en- tilye from the Panhandle and noun tain ranges. The supply today is 5000 head, reduced somewhat by the proximity of the election, market , to
 15c higher Colorado beef steers bring S3.SO to $4.3O, cows and heifers s2.75 to $3.65, stockers and feeders $3.25 to $40; Utah stockers at $4.00; Ari- zona heifers at S3.25. New Mexico cows and heifers $40 to $325 stock CTS and feeders $500 to s4OO, bulls s215 to $2.70, calves S3.50 to $6.75. The situation is more settled after election. with a better demand both from killers and from country buyers.
 Sheep and lambs are coming freely. but a smaller proportion are fat enough for the killers than heretofore, which naturally strengthens the mar ket on killing stuff. Prices advanced 15 to 9 cents last week on sheep and yearlings, 2$ to 55 cents on lambs. The run today is 14,000 head with the market steady Colorado lambs at $5.65, 63 pound Utah lambs at $5.6O, yearIings S4.5O, wethers $425. ewes $40, medium class stuff 15 to 40 cents below these prices. Demand from the country is sufficient to ab- sorb the offerings at firm prices, feeding lambs mostly around s4.60, wethers and yearlings $40 to $3.9O, ewes $325 to S4.25.

market on account of this state of affairs.
 Another fact, says MT. Kondo, which has caused inactivity in the carrying tradeis the sudden and great increase in the tonnage of Japans mercantile fleet subsequent to the war, and the consequent competition amongst ship owners which has resulted in the low ering of freight. Thus many vessels are now employed at little profit, while the number of ships laid up and out of employment is also large. The falling off in the volume of American trade and the check to the landing of Japanese immigrants in America. have reduced the receipts of Japanese yes sels to material extent. In addition to all this the revised railway freight rates in America, which comes into force on November l next will neces- sarily have the result of reducing the sea freightS and further the increased price of coak and other articles, to- gether with the higher wages now paid to coolies, do not tend to minimize the difficulties experienced by shipowners. During the past year the Nippon Yu- sen kaisha earned about sixteen mil lion yen of foreign money, which. after deducting the expenditure, amounting to nine million yet. left a profit of something like seven million. but un- less the business outlook brightens, it is doubtful whether the company will beable to obtain a similar result in the next twelve months.
 Mir. Kondo. who is fifty-eight years of age, is one of the best known busi- ness men of Japan. He has been con nected with the shipping business since his youth, having served under the late Baron Iwasaki. whose rela- tives he became by marriage On the creation of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha CThe Japan mail steamship company he was made director and was elect ed vice president at the time of the Chino-Japanese war in 1894, later be- coming president. For services rem dered the naval department of Japan by giving steamers of the company for transport services he was given the fourth class of the Order of the Rising Sun.
 The Nippon Yusen Kaisha was formed in 1885 by the amalgamation of two rival companies, the Mitsubishi
