held to be the eastern terminal of
lieu land territory. The railroad Sc
cured a ruling from the supreme
court that the eastern terminal was
Ashland Wis. But this decision was
not handed down until after Jones
had actually perfected his claim and
entered upon possession. Further
more, the list filed by the railroad
was not approved until many years
after Jones received his certificate
Of purchase, nor was THE railroads
patent issued until October, 1905.
In this case Hughes found in favor
of the railroad, along with White,
Van Devanter, LurtOn and other
standpat justices.
No difficult question of law was in
vOlved; Justice Day and Harlan dis
scented vigorously. Hughes consid-
cred the filing by a railroad of its de-
sire for a piece of land, even though
that choice was not approved, su-
periOr to the bona fide entry Of a

MOntellO Salt Co. VS.. Utah. This
case dealt with a clause in the enab-
ling act of Utah which granted to
the state, for purpose of establish
ing a university, land to the extent
of two townships (46,O8O acres), and
in addition 10000 acres of land
. . including all saline lands in
the state"
The state, assuming that the act,
in saying ALL SALINE LANDS,
meant what it said, sued to recover
10000 acres with immensely valu-
able salt deposits taken up by the
MOntellO Salt Co.
The state courts all found against
the salt company, which appealed to
the supreme court, urging that the
act did NOT give the state ALL the
saline lands, but only allowed them
to include saline lands in their no.
900 acres.

This particular case involved only 40
acres; but it established railroads

March p, 1898, no adverse claim
having been filed, Jones paid the full

WASHINGTON March 28.-Wheth-
or the United States, on proof that
The SUSSEX and Englishman were VIC
Tins Of German torpedoes, will first
allow diplomacy to take its course, or
whether relations shall be broken off
Immediately. today was discussed by
President Wilson with his cabinet and
with Senator Stone, his chief congress
sional adviser on foreign affairs.
Both cabinet members and Senator
Stone were expected to tell the presi-
dent he would be backed by congress
and the public II he should take the
more drastic course.
Meanwhile the state department
was gathering every bit OF possible
evidence in line with the determina-
ton Of President Wilson not even to
make an inquiry Of the German gov
ernment until all phases of the ques-
tion had been conclusively examined
by this government.
1t seemed likely that the attitude
of congress will make unnecessary a
message from the president II he
should determine to break off German
relations. From being rather drag
on the administrations foreign policy
chantmen decree-congress appeared
to have become spur to urge the
president on. Among senators who
are more affected by public opinion
perhaps than state department off,
cials, there was little doubt but that
the public is convinced the two boats
were torpedoed and that even a dis
avowal of the act and promises for
the future would be taken doubtfully.
Wnen the president determines to
break of relations, it is believed he
will send congress a note announcing
his intention and explaining incidents
which determined his course Of ac-
ton. He will not seek authority to
act from congress and 1t is possible
his memorandum will come after, In
stead Of before, the act-as when he
recognized Carranza. He Will express
the hope that congress approves his
action.
While It Is generally believed here
that Germany will disavow both at
tacks, II proof is made that her sub
marines were responsible, the nature
of the kaiser's 'disavowal must differ
from other German utterances II dip
lomatic relations are to continue. In
view of other German statements and
promises, it is believed the submarine
comm ander responsible must be def
nitely named to the world and the
fact Of his adequate punishment es-
tablished to the satisfaction OF the
United States.

sideration is that OF breaking on re-
