Assistant Commissioner Bowers of the general land office has decided an important case which involves a construction of the act of March 3, 1891, permitting commuta- tion of timber culture entries. In the case in point the party made a timber culture entry in 1834, and for four years thereafter he complied with the law as to tree plant- ing, etc.; but from 1888 to 1893, when he ap- plied to commute his entry, he did nothing. it is held that as there was no contest in-| itiated prior to the date upon which he ap- Plied to commute, the entry Is valid.

SUPPOSED GRAVE ROBBERS: BLOODSHED LIKELY. An Outfit Capture] by the Police om the Brentwood Road. ‘Three Men Well Provided With Weap- ons—Early Morning Expedition —Prisoners Held for Trial. Mounted Sergeant John M. Kenny and Policeman John Morgan were riding along the Brentwood road in the vicinity of the Columbia Harmony cemetery about 1:3 o'clock this morning when a common mar- ket wagon passing over the road attracted their attention. “They have been otu to the cemetery, whispered one officer to another and a mo- ment later the scene on the dark country road was an interesting one. The wagon had stopped and the officers had both ends of the wagon covered with their glistening revolvers. Sergeant Kenny stood at the head of the team while the officer went to the rear of the wagon.

ADMIRAL SKERRETT’S VIEWS. Probably the greatest problem in connec- tion with the Hawaiian policy to those not in the confidence of the administration is as to the method of accomplishing the restoration of the queen without considera- ble bloodshed. The Kanakas are a cruel, revengeful race and are not likely to be very merciful to the members of the pro- visional party who encompassed their down- fall. It is, therefore, a safe assumption that unless some provision is made for their future safety they will make a vigorous resistance to the movement placing them in the power of the queen and her cohorts.

The President and his cabinet were on the grand stand, and Gen. Sherman stopped and dismounted to pay | his respects. Secretary Stanton, like his | associates, proffered his hand to the gen. eral, who, however, passed on without no- ticing either the hand or its owner. But Gen. Sherman did not then, or at any other time, tell Stanton that he was “nothing but a d-—d clerk.” He used this language af- terward in speaking of, but not to, Stanton with another party to whom he was relat- | ing the cause of his ‘‘coolness” toward | Stanton, which was the latter’s conduct in} countermanding orders issued by Sherman to the army in North Carolina. This is not the truth. We were present on that stand immediately behind Mr. Stan- ton, and heard and saw everything that happened there, while to all the circum- stances reiating to General Sherman we extended by persons partisan to the mon- archy or the provisional government. How- ever, it is pretty generally accepted as true that Admiral Skerrett's transfer was based on a belief that he had identified himself too closely in a social way with the for- eign or anti-royalist element, and also for the additional reason that his successor, Admiral Irwin, is very popular in Honolulu and has great influence there with royalist | | and foreigner alike. Representative Boatner’s Opinion. Representative Boatner of Louisiana said that he did not think that this government had any right to interfere in the former government of Hawaii, and that if it ap- peared to be the case that the queen was deposed with the assistance of this gov- ernment we should do everything in our power to correct the wrong done. He thought that Hawaii had a right to |expect us to protect her against the inter- ference and force of American citizens. It appeared that the queen had been deposed by Americans and other foreigners who had never been naturalized as Hawaiian sub- jects, and, therefore, had no right to inter- fere with the government. He thought that if these men, who occupied the attitude of filibusters, succeeded in their designs with the assistance of the American minister and the American marines, this govern- ment could probably be called upon by Hawaiians for protection. Ought Not to Restore the Queen. Representative Cobb of Missouri said that he was opposed to annexation, but that he did not think we ought to interfere to re- store the queen. He did not think we had any business meddling with it at all. If we did not want the island we ought to let it alone and let them do as they please. We ought not to try to dictate their form of government to them. Judge Turner's Views. Judge Turner of Georgia, who is one of the best lawyers in the House, said today burg believes it is as cruel as it is saga: cious. “I have paid lots of attention to a pair of butcher birds at my place for the last six months,” sald he to us the other he ig most anxious should be put through own e: day, ‘and I have learned many new things ing in the first auditor's office of the Treas- ury Department, and the principals were Mr. C.
