MISAPPREHENSION REGARDING THE LAW. Causes Which Have Induced Germany to Ra'se the Embargo 01 Amerl- can Pork—Nebraska Poste masters Appointed, 513 PourTEeNTI J WasniNaroy, D. C., April 6. The passagoe of the direct tax bill has caused an enormous amount of extra work to Dbe thrust upon the officials of the treasury department. From all the states in the union letters are recoived daily inquiring about the repayment, and there is a wide spiit of misapprehension as to just what the direct tax was, F'rom Indiana and Nebraska, from Texas and from Malue letters have come in- quiring about the chance of securing r ment by persons who believe they ha the direct tax to the government commission- ers. Inmany instances intarnal revenue re- ceipts are sent to substantiate the claims, but of ‘course tho treasury can do uothing for the claimants, as the tax collected in all the the northern states was col- lected from the states themselves and not from individuals. On the other hand, soath- erners have direct claims against the refund money, and in order to facilitate the proofs of these claims the department has decided to engage rooms outside the treasury building, where all the recoras will be kept and whero clerks can go through the files and secure such evidence as may be necessary to assist in returning to the people who paid the money the amounts that may be found due them. This is a new departure from the government's methods, as up to the present time it has always been to throw as many barriers in the way of getting monuy out of tho treasury as was possible. 1t is believed in the treasury that it will be ast two years before the last dollar of the dividénd tax is paid out from the vaults, NEBRASKA POSTMASTERS APPOINTED, The postmaster gencral today appointed the following postmasters for Nebraska: C.

A cablegram from Berlin, printed this evening, states that the German government has fipally determined to withdraw the em- bargo placed upon’ American pork. This is due largely to two causes. The first and most potential was the passage of the meat inspection bill by the last congress, which bill, by the way, promises to open up & wider market for American hog and cattle products in Europe than ever before existed. The other cause was the diplomacy shown by Minister Phelps, who has been commended upon all sides upon the manuer in which he has conducted the negotiations which, while not. J’et completed, have progressed suffic- iently to enable the denufllufnt of agricul- ture people to predict that there will be little ~ dil cull{ from this time forward i the way of landing American meat pro- ducts in the German empire. In this con- nection it is stated at the department that the inspectors under the inspection bill will be appointed directly by tho secretary of agriculture and that they will be required to be graduates of veteripary colleges and men thoroughly versed in cattle diseases, Already about u score of applications have been ro- ceived, but s is not likely that any appoint- ments will be made for a week or ten days. The inspectors to be appointea will be sta- tioned at the slaughtering establishments of the country, principally in Chicago, Omaha and Kansas'City. JUDGE CROUNSE'S CHANCES, It was announced in these dispatohes a day or two ago that Senator Manderson was con- fident that Judge Crounse would be appointed assistant secretary of the treasury. The sen- ator left for Philadelphia on Saturday and has not yet returued, so that he has not been form- ally notified that Judge Crounse isto be ap- pointed. Secretary Foster was reticent today and declined to state positively what had been donein the matter, but it was Jearned thatun- less something turns up which is not now ex- pected Judge Crounse will be appointed assistant secretary of the treasury within a day or two. This will give'Nebraska a strong position In the most imbortant de- partment of the government, and the friends of Judge Crounse are confident that he will make an excellent ofticial who will reflect r{ndll. on the president and the administra- tion. Wasmxarox Bureau T e, } CHARLESTON NOT READY FOR SEA. Tt is stated at the navy department that the cruiser Charleston, which a news dis- patch reports as being under orders from the state department to proceed to Honolulu, will not be reaay for sea for at leastjten days or a fortnignt. The state department has not and cannot order a naval vessel from one point to another. It may request the navy department to make such an order, but in this case it has not made a request. The origiual intention of the navy department ‘was to send the Charleston back to Honolulu when she arrived at San Francisco, but meantime the Chilian war scemed to indicate the wuecessity of another United States naval vessel being fent to Chili in addition to the Baltimore, which arrived at Toleohuana Friday, and the San Francisco, which is to sail Wednesday for Chil. So that the navy department has not vet decided where to send the Charleston, but will select her destination whon she is ready for sea, according to the necessities of the hour, THE NEW CONSUL TO SALVADOR.

THE FEDERAL TOWSSITE LAW. fon by the United States Suprems Court, Wasnixaron, Aprit 6.<The United States supreme court (oday vevorsed the judirment of the supreme court of Montana in the case of Andrew J. Davis, appollant, vs Henry Wiebbold, and ordered the case, remanded for a new trial, This was 8 suit for damages and fnvolved the title to éertain tands in the town of Butte, Mont. The case turns upon the construction to be given to the provisions of the townsiw law of the United States. Davis held the ttle under the town- site entry act, of which one provision was that no title should be aequired under the actto any gold, silver or gopper mine or to any valid mining claim héld under the exist- ing laws, Wicbbold claimed the title under the general mining laws, and when Davis offered to prove that at the time the patent of the Butto townsite was issued the premises in dispute were not known to be valued for minerals of #uy kind, objection was taken on the ground that Wiebvold's patent showed thut as & matter of fact the premises did contain valudble mineral lanas, and as such could not b8 granted by the townsite patent. The comrt sustained the objection, and this culing, which was really decisive of the controversy, this court over- rules. The question involved in the suit has been long in dispute and there have been various and, in_some instances, diverse opinions on it in the executive denartments, The United States suprems court has sev- eral times passed upon it by inference and implication, but this, it is said, is the first direct decision, The coust, in’ its opinion, written by Justice Field, sa “The Im- portant question is whether, in® the absence of knowledge that thero were any valuable mineral lands within ths town siwe, Davis can be deprived of the premises purchased and occupied by him beeauso of the subse- quent discovery of minerals in them and the issue of a_patent to the discoverer. After much consideration we have come to the con- clusion that this question must be answered in the negative. It is true the language of the statutes touching the acquisition of title to mineral lands within tho limits of town sites is very broad, but in strictaoss they impart only that $ho provisions of tho town sito law shall not be the means of pass- ing title also to valuable miniug lands, We think they must be held merely to prohibit the passage of titleto mining lands then known 10 exist and not to prohibit the ac: quisition for all time of mines which then lay buried unknown in the deptis of the earth. POSTPONED THE CONFEREN President Harrison's Trip vefers the Canadian Negotiations. Wasmyaroy, April 6.-Aecompanied by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the Canadian cabinet oficials called upon Secretary Blaine at his home just before noon toddy.

Wasmixaroy, April 6,—Secretary Noble today readered a decision rejecting applica- tions to perfect about forty-two entries under the timber and stone acts made by members of the Kewah co-operative colony in Cali- fornia, now located within' the Sequois na- tional park reservation created by acts of the last congress, The secretary holds that these upplications to purchase under the timber and stone acts are rot entries of land, hence it was competent for congress to re- serve lands. Their claims in cases of home- stead and pre-emption eutries are also denied. hose colonists have expended in the con struction of public roads and other improve- ments about 100,000, and while the decision may result in hardships to the colonists, any relief must come through congress. Not Yet Officially Notifiea. W asniNGToN, April 6.—Speaking about the cabled statement of theremoval of the em- bargo on pork by Germany, Secretary Rusk said this eveniog that he had no official notification of it. When the inspection law of March 8 was passed he caused its provisions to be communicated to the German government throngh the department of state and Minister Pheips. The secretary’s belief is that though we have received no ofticial notice of theremoval of the embargo we can look for some such action on tho part of Germany before long, Maxwell Lana Grant Company Wins, Wasiixa1oy, April 6.—The supremoe court of the United States today afiirmed the judg- ment of the circuit court of the United States for the district of Colorado in favor of the Maxwell land grant company on a_suit brought against that company by the Inter- state land company to recover a large tract of land in Lus Animas county, Colorado.

Speaking of the farmers' alliance movement, the senator said that some people aro trylng to persuade tho farmers that luws have been made which operato unjustly upon them and that laws haye not been made that would furnish them with more rapid and stoady prosperity. He thinks they are to o large degree mistaken and in timo will discover it. Indeed, he presumes that the largest part of reflecting farmers undestand that crops caunot be increased by leggislation or debts honestly. Askea what the dangers were to both of the great parties in the situation, the senator said that if in the next presidential clection the farmers' alliance should carry many states withoat having a majority of the clec toral collego there would be no election by the people, and tae present house of represen tatives, being largely democratic, that party would elect its candidate. As to the danger of the ropublican party, itis that the alliance may carry some states that would otherwise go repubiican, and thus, if there was no elec- tion by the poople, give' the clection to the demacratic candidates, Asked if he thought silver would bean issue in tho mnext campaign, the senator did hot thmk it would b an issue between the republican and demo- cratic parties, for ho thinks that tho deno- o party will gardly wish to make it an ue to the exteny of running any consider- uble risk of separating gold and silver as the coin money of the country, and_cortainly the great body of the repnblicans will not. Upto the point of safety the republican party will be in favor of using silver as money, as italways has been. ‘What the farmers’ alliance platform, if the party should nominate a_ presidential e date will be, he could not say. “The third party movement,” continued Senator Ed- munds, “undoubledly exists in tho farmers’ alliance. If successful to the ox- tent of getting the president and congress it would doubtleess lead to the en- actment of measures that \hey hive indi- cated, and whether they were good or had for thie farmers would soon be known,” senstor did not bottom of the added that the think communism farmers’ s atthe movement, and percentage of commun- ists this coun he believes to be very small.
