 There was another thing that start led some of the attendants uron the court
 The Wood Allen case is brought up palpably to test the constitution aIity of the Chase game and fish law of the last session upon which " referendum was filed last September. which it is alleged was irregular Pound up in the consideration ot this case also there is the referenda that were filed upon the railroad blnS.

1909 and 1904 and $109, ,O0O, 900 in 1892. the former high record year The quantity, however, imported in 1912 is materially less than in certain earlier years, the number of pounds imported in 1912 being $943, 900 against sl.-- 14O, 900, GOO in 1909 and s1.113. .O0O, ,OO0 in 1904 The average price per pound of the coffee imported was, in 1912 13.S, against 7.6 in 1909, and 6.S in 1902. These figures represent the aV- craze price in the country which eX- ported to the United States, since the law designating the method of valuing the merchandise imported in to the United States requires that the selling price, or wholesale market va lue of the merchandise in the country from which exported be accepted as the state value of the merchandise in the returns made to the statistical di vision of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. The price of inn ported coffee in 1912 was higher than that of recent years, though in the fiscal years 1895 and, 1896 it averaged 141ac per pond and in 1894, 1612c.
  1912 was not abnormally large. the figures above quoted for that year in dicating that it's total was less than that for certain earlier years, the un
 usually high figures of value being due to high prices.
 About two thirds of the coffee inn ported in 1912 came from Brazil, the total from that country being 676,- 000. 900 pounds valued at $93500,000 against 5,50O,OOO pounds valued at $31 900, ,000 from all other countries. next to Brazil the largest importations were S1, ,500,00 pounds valued at S10,- 000, 900 from Colombia: 51,666 666 pounds valued at $7,666, ,666 from Ven eZuela: 3S,0000 pounds valued at $4 ,333, ,333 from the Central American states: and 31,250OOO pounds valued
 at 5000, 900 from Mexico; while from 1 Europe as a whole the importations ] of coffee produced in Asia, Africa and 1 other countries amounted to 42, ,750,000 pounds valued at $6,750,O00.
 The high price of imported coffee l in recent years has been accompanied i by marked increase in the impOrta- | tiOnS of cocoa. The quantity of crude | cocoa imported into the United States i in the calendar year 1912 was 153,-
 000,000 pounds aginst 134000,000 in 1 1911, 116,O00, 900 in 1910 and 121, 100000 | in 109. the first year in which the total exceeded 100000, 900 pounds. The value of crude cocoa imports in 1912
 was s16,917, 1856. against s14,5S9,545 in . 1911 and S7,262, 100 in 1909. a decade

 of a general spirit of unrest and em-
 bryonic revolutionary activity ir many quarters That the general tenor of the official reports to the effect of threatened disorders had nc foundation in abuses of power on the part of the existing governments oi th, republics. but were based almost entirely upon tine personal ambitions of various Would-be leaders and sol Giers of fortune, who designed tC ovcrturn the established government! and maintain themselves by force O arms without reference to the vii of the ma iority of the people.

OPEN 10000 ACRES OF LAND IN
KANSAS.

Dodge City, June 10.-On August 4
about 10000 acres of government land
in Hamilton county will be thrown
open to settlement. An order to that
effect has just reached the govern
ment land office here and Register
H. F. Millkan and Receiver L. ].
Pettijohn are preparing their offices
to take care Of the extra work which
the opening will make. An offer of
free land is always followed by floods
of requests for information from thou
sands who want to own farms Of
their own. The land to be opened
for settlement is what is known as
the government forest reserve. 1t
all lies south of the Arkansas river
and it all lise south of Syracuse. The
land is scattered over a tract CON-
prising about 10000 acres, but only
about one-fourth of that amount will
be subject to entry.
Alternate sections of this land were
given to the Santa Fe railroad about
forty years ago, and these sections
have long since been disposed of by
the company. The Santa Fe grant is,
therefore, half of the entire body and
probably half of the remainder has
been disposed of by the government
in different ways. In the order of
the government it is provided that
no settlement shall be recognized
which was made prior to August 4
and the officers will adhere strictly
to this provision. 1t is expected that
there will be a rush for the land on
the opening day.
