STATE LANDS.

The state land department is re
ceiving so many inquiries as to the
rights of lessces Of state lands under
the provisions of the law which pro
vides for the cultivation Of state lands
that they are sending out a circular
letter to all holders of state lands un.
der lease. as TO the rules, Whic,
govern. The department will nol
make any agricultural leases this
year. as it will be impossible TO g..
the provisions of the new law into
practical working shape until 100 lac
for the carrying on of agriculture for
this year,
None of the present holders Of graz
ing and meadow leases are given any
dditional rights under the provisions
CT the new law, and cultivation under
he provisions OF their present leases
is just as much a violation of the tres.
pass laws of the state, as if they had
no lease at all to their tracts.
Along with the letter they are send.
ing copies of the trespass laws as they
now stand, and a warning against
violation of the same. All leases
which have been made in the past
hold just the same status as the.
have had under the old law, and there
will be no change in conditions before
next year when matters will be in
shape TO practically take up the work

DEMOCRATS REJECT
DIRECT ELECTIONS
AFRAID IT WILL GIVE NEGROES
VOTES. THEY TURN DOWN
AMENDMENT INTRODUCED
BY SENATOR BRISTOW.
Washington. /

Washington, ID. C.-The house of
representatives late yesterday, by a
vote OF 172 to 112-practically a
strict party vote-refused to concur
in the Bristow amendment adopted
by the senate to the house resolu-
ton, providing for the direct cleo
ton OF senators. The Bristow
amendment leaves with congress the
power to regulatethe time and man
ner of holding these election, while
the resolution passed by the house,
during the early days of the present
session, would change the constitu-
ton so that "the time, place and
manner Of holding elections for
senators shall be as prescribed i'll
each stately the legislature there
Of"
The resolution therefore is re-
turned to the senate for reconsidera-
ton, as to whether it will reverse
Its lnriner action. The motion that
the house concur in the senate
amendment was made by Represent
tatlVe Olnlstead, republican, of
Pennsylvania. Those who spoke in
favor of it We're Representatives
Olmstead, Young of Michigan, Nors
ris of Nebraska, Moon of Pennsylva-
mia, Cannon, Prouty, Jackson, Mad
den and Mann, all republicans. Those
against it, Representatives Rucker
OF Missouri, Cullop, Hardy, Clark of
Florida, Sherley, Witherspoon, Sis
son. Hughes of New JeJrsey, Ran
dell, Richardson, and Hefin, all
dems.
The democrats protested that the
people of the states could be safely
entrusted with the power of con-
trolling the elections of the repre-
sentatives in the upper house, while
the republicans contended that such
delegation OF authority would take
from congress power which it. should
retain.
Rucker Of Missouri, in charge Of
the resolution on the democratic
side, declared that it was "the com
mand of the American people that
the election of United States sena-
tors be taken out Of the market
Representative Mann on the 9TH
er side, asserted that this was an
attempt Of the democrats to accom-
plish indirectly what they had been
unable tc directly.
