 Thestalk around the Big Town is that if certain group can serape up enough money to buy Charley Stoneham's controlling in- terest in the New York Giants, they will then try to persuade John Joseph McGraw to take the job of president and general manager and move back into some of his old haunts.
 Stoneham has steadfastly denied he will part with his interests but stranger things have happened than a change in control of one of the games biggest organizations. Who thought McGraw would drop out so completely and so suddenly?
 The Giants have had very bad time of it from the outset of the 1892 campaign. The team, a hot favorite in the pennant race, has yet to measure anywhere near to expectations. Attendance has fallen off alarmingly, aided and  abetted by some of the worst kind of weather breaks
 Since he turned over the man. agement to Bill Terry, McGraw has stayed strictly away from the Giants. Terry, it is understood, has not sought the old masters aoyice and it has not been yolun- teered. Macs public appearances have been confined mostly to his visits to the race tracks and he has avoided baseball discussions for publication. Meanwhile the Giants have been no less cratic than they were earlier in the Spring.
 If and when shaking up comes, it probably will affect the whole Giant organization.

Due to unforeseen delays the Northwestern arrived at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and departed at 6 o'clock.

 pire Content" Now

OTTAWA, July 27.-The future of more than 100 American branch plants in Canada, representing an of about half a billion dollars, is in the balance as the Imperial Trade Conference Com mittee took up the question of Empire Continent" which is per- centage of Empire materials or la- Dor which the articles must con- tain to qualify for customs entry under the Empire preferential tar if rates.
 Concerns U. S.
 What the Conference may do about the blanket increase in the reqnired percentages or in special restrictions on selected articles is Of very real concern to American branch factories in Canada and to business interests SUD- plying products to be finished by the Dominion or other concerns within the Empire.
 Content Increase
 British industrialists want an increase in British Empire con- tent" rate. arguing it is not high enough to prevent American man ufacturers from sending parts to Canada and reassembling them in branch factories then shipping the finished products to Great Britain under preferential rates.

CARDS STILL ALIyE

Despite the failure of Pepper Martin to duplicate anything like his worlds series performances, the disposal of a flock of stars and a general shakeup, the feeling persists among National League men that the Cardinals will re- main the team to beat in the big drive down the hot and dusty stretch.
 Gabby Street has enough sharp shooters left to give him a sub- stantial advantage. The temporary loss at various times of players Ike Frisch, Wilson and Martin handicapped the worlds champions but the reserves have done well enough to keep the club in a con- tending position,
 In a race where at least six or seven teams are so closely punched, the experience and stay- ing powers of the Cardinals may prove decisive.

new ANGLE IS
INJECTED INTO
SHANNON CASE

S. p. Williams, public administra-
tor, yesterday afternoon entered the
lists in the James 3. Shannon es-
tate battle, when he was appoint
ed by Judge Vaughn N. Thompson
as special administrator of the es-
tate, and when Judge Thompson
issued an order setting aside a de-
cree assigning the estate to the
widow
This action brought the latest
development in a contest which has
involved Mrs. Alta Il. Shannon,
who asserts she is the second wife
of Shannon, Mrs. Florence MonseeS,
first wife of the man who died in
a sewer tragedy last summer, and
two children of Shannon by his
first marriage.
Williams, with his petition for
special letters of administration
submitted an objection to the ap-
pointment of Mrs. Shannon as ad-
miniStratriX. based on the grounds
she is neither the widow nor next
OF kin, and has no right to prefer
ence over the public administrator.
The special letters were granted
because a petition for general let
terS of administration cannot be
heard before February 5.
One condition of the administra-
ton is that Mrs. Shannon is to
have use of the Shannon automo-
bile for local trips. and may occu-
py the house owned by Shannon
at the time of his death.
Judge Thompson set aside the de-
cree assigning the estate to the
widow on the grounds Mrs. Shan
mons petition, filed last summer,
did not meet legal requirements in
matter which is contested.
Now pending in superior court is
petition by Mrs. Monsees to re-
woke letters of guardianship grant
ed to Mrs. Shannon, and also a Pc
tltion for letters of administration
over the estate. Mrs. Shannon, it
Is expected, will contest the peti-
tlonS of the first wife.

LAND GRANTS TO
RAILROADS TAKE
MUCH ADJUSTING

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. UP
Sixty of the 72 land grants to rail-
road companies, through which the
federal government gave away an
empire that transportation facili-
ties might be developed, have fin
ally been adjusted and closed, says
a report from the General Land
Office.
Six Of the remaining IL grants
merely await listing and selection
of units of land by the companies
in certain isolated areas. There are
few wild areas" yet to be sur
Veyed, and when this is done the
task of Immediately adjusting"
these grants, given TO the secretary
of the interior A years ago, will
be completed.
The " recipients of grants al
ready have received 132,000,000
acres of land, equivalent to 100000
square miles, an area equal to the
Atlantic states from North Carolina
be assigned to holders of these land
grants 100000 acres. or slightly
less tharn 5000 square miles.
OF 80 original grants made dur
inc fhe era of development between
1850 and 1871, II were forfeited be-
cause of failure to construct the
roads contemplated. The immense
amount of unsurveyed and map-
propritted lands and unsettled con-
ditionS along these lines prevented
earlier adjustments.
TIL task of surveying the western
domain requires the location of ev-
cry section and quarter section
corner and the proper mapping and
maintenance of records with rela
ton to every fragment of land and
this stupendous task already has
lasted through two generations.
