ISLAND ORDERED SURVEED! Owners of Adjoining Land Oannot Olaim it Under Riparian Rights. HAS ALWAYS BEEN PUBLIC DOMAIN the Cednr Rapids & i River Noad. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—(Special)—The Reting seoratary of the interior has approved the recommendations of the commissioner of the general land office with reference to the application of Nils Larson for the survey of an island in the Platte river in scetion 18, township 14 north, range 4 west, and sec tions 13 and 24, township 14 north, range § west, 6th p. m., Nebraska, south of island No. 1 (Baker's island) and island No. 2. The application of Larson Is In proper form, and 80 tar as the official records of the department are copcerned there 1s no objection to favor- able abtion thereon. In opposition, however, to such action (here is a protest filed by prietors of islands Nos. 1 and 2. There has been filed with the protest a certified copy of a compiaint filed in the justice court of Merrick county, Nebraska, by certain of the proprigtors against ene Richard Harvey. The argument in support of the protest asserts that the protestants own the land nearest to the ‘nsurveyed island, and that by reason of such proprictorship they own the land In qQuestion. They further allege that to allow the application would be contrary to law and decisions in such eases. “A sufficlent answer to the first proposi- tlon,” says the secretary’s declsion, “is that the records show that the titl to the island was in the United States in 1862 and that it has never passed therefrom. It s not land formed by accretion since survey, and the as- serted claim of ownership by reason of ripar- fan rights is untenable because the land ex- fsted and was subject to survey and disposal by the United States at the time the lands now owned by the protestants were surveyed. Riparian rights did not attach in 1862, and the conditions remaining unchanged they do not attach now.” The judgment of the general land office was that the land is public land of the Unlted States, properly subject to survey, and the recommendation was made that the island be surveyed according to the request of Larson. The acting secretary approves the application and orders the survey. SETTLER GETS THE LAND. ‘The secretary of the interlor has rendered a decision afirming the judgment of the com- missioner of the general land office in the case of the Cedar Rapids & Missourl River Railroad company against Willlam H. Smith, in which the plaintif’s selection for the land in controversy was held for cancellation. The land involved is the west half of the north- west quarter of section 36, township 85 north, range 44 west, Des Moines district. It ap- pears that the defendant filed a declaratory statement upon ‘he tract in controversy on the 20th of August, 1884, alleging settlement on the 15th of January prior thereto, and that he made homestead entry on the same uly 18, 1898, and perfected the"same on May , 1880 The plaintiff selected the tract in auestion on the 23 of August, 1884, under the provisions of the act of June 3, 1864, and again selected the same January 16, 1885, It further appears that the tract in question was, on September 7' 1874, entered by Or- lando Willey under the how.estead laws. This entcy was canceled on March 3, 1886, be- cause of fallure to make proof within the statutory period. The decision of the secretary says the d cision of the commissioner of the gen land office was correct in holding the plain- tif’s selection for cancellation in wiew of the fact that Willey's homestead entry was made at a time when the land was subject to homestead entry and was still of record at the date of the selection, and in view of the further fact that the defendant’s filing was on record at the date of the selection, al- though not properly allowed. The plaintift contends, however, that the right of the rail- road company attached not by selection but by definite location. The reply to the con- tentions of the plaintiff is that notwithstand- ing the tract in controversy is within the six mile granted limits, still being an even num- bered section no right could attach thereto ex- cept by selection. The decision of the com- missioner is therefore afirmed. RECORD IS ON THE WAY TO FRANCE Wil Be a Month Defore the Waller Papers’ Arrive in Washington. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—The State de- partment has been advised that the record in the Waller court martial, for which the French authorities found 1t necessary to send to Madagascar, Is expected to reach Aden, on the Red sea, about the 12th inst. After it arrives there some time will be re- quired for its transmittal to Parls, and still more before It can reach Washington, it it is decided to have it examined here, o that it 19 expected to be at least a month before the department can be full possession or all the facts in the case. In all probabilities no further steps will be taken in this matter until this examination shall be made, Thete is a growing festing in the depart- ment that France has purposely sought de- lay in producing this record in the hope of gausing the United States to make a per- emptory and unconditional demand for Wal- ler's release. It is believed If made this demand would be granted, and if granted Waller would, be deprived of all chance or securing an indemnity and the restoration of his Iand concesslon. Without an examination of the record, which could not be demanded after his release, it would be impossible to show that Waller had been unjustly de- prived of his property. The department 1s sing every effort to avoid falling Into this trap, while at the same time It Is determinea to protect Waller in all his interests. The department is understood to be in receipt of a full statement of the case, as supplied by the commander of the Castine. It is believed that the irritation of the French authorities at Tamatave was reall, aroused by his investigation into-this e rather than by his failure to salute French fla the WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—The Agricultural department has recelved from its agent in Berlin a report of the imports of agricultural and other products into Germany. It shows that during the first six months of 1885 the following percentage of the total imports of the German empire of the articles specified were obtained from the United States: Col 80 per cent; wheat, 15; malze, 56; grass and timothy, 16; dressed beef, 59; oil cake, 33, and lard lanelin, 93 per cent. Acompanying the statement are coples of the quarantine and probibition regulations now in force in the German empire in re- gard to the importations of live stock (whéther for impert or transit only) and fresh meat. These regulations are of im- portance in view of the stringent measures governing importations from this country. All live stock brought from the exterior of Germany must be examined by a veterinarian before pérmission ls granted to t port it across the boundary line of the empire. The expense of such inspection must ba paid by the importer and no animal affected with a contagious disease can be brought across the line. The importation of cattle across the beef from the United States is prohibited. ‘The provincial presidents of the German gov- ernment may order horses and sheep im- ported from the United States of America to be held at the landing place for observation and inspection. Pork imported from the United States must be accompanied by a government certificate of inspection. ENGLISH ARE INCLINED TO GROWL, Not Send Any Mall by Subsidized American Steamers. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—Second Assistant Postmaster General Nellson has returned to his desk after a voyage to Europe on the new steamship St. Louls, which he pro- mounces the finest vessel afioat and well fitted for the work of carrying the ma “The British are growling a litgle,” said “becauss we are giving bountles to our hips instead of paying them to the fastest vessel which happens to be ready at any given time. They will not send any mait by our subsidined steamers expecially directed to go by them. forred with the postal authorities In Engla in regard to the sea postal maill service We now sond olerks on Lhe steamers, who sort the malls coming over to this country. I wanted the British to divide this expense with us and have the mails going to them also sorted at sea, They would not agree, Bowever. Thelr force In the kondom offies is twico as great as ours In New York, and they can clear any mall In a hurry and do mot care to go to the additional expense of sorting on the voyage. France will probably join us soon, however, for a service from Havre. Nowadays most of her mail goes via England. OLD ORDERS ARE STILL IN FORCE. Oficials in the Classi Serviee Must dos. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—The Clvil Service commission has been asked by certain letter carriers to decide what part they wore al- lowed to take In politics under the civil sery- fce law further than merely casting thelr votes, The commission replied that any spe- cific questions should be submitted to the Postoffice department, but called attention to the executive instructions of July 4, 1386, which It is said were In force and were part of the postal rules. In this decision th president warns ‘“gffice holders” against the use of their official positions in attempts to eor.trol political movements in thelr locali- ties. “Office holders should serupulously avold, In their political action as well as in the discharge of their official duties, offending by a display of obirusive partisanship their neighbors who bave relations with them as public ofcials. The influence of federal of- fice holders should not be felt in the manipu- latlon of political primary meetings and nominating conventions.” Individual interest and activity in political affairs are by no means condemned. Office holders are neither disfranchised nor forbidden the excrcise of political privileges. But thelr privileges are not enlarged, nor s thelr duty to party in- creased to pernclous activity by oftic holding. The reply to the committee concludes as follows: *“Those who entered the classified civil service upon the ground of ascertained merit as established by the civil service rules and are protected therein should be quick to recognize the reciprocal obligation thereby imposed and avoid any action which now or at any future time could be reasonably subjected to adverse political eriticlsm.” THREE ARRESTED FOR CONSPIRACY of & Smooth Scheme for Vie- ng Civil Service Rules. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—The United Sta es Civil Service commission has boen notified of the arrest at Erie, Pa., of Willam C. Ebisch, chief mailing clesk, Bdward J. Liebel, substi- tute letter carrier, and Willlam J. Bruc:, formerly general utility clerk in that office on a charge of general conspiracy and vioa tion of previsions of the civil service act. Ebisch was the sccretary of the Board of Civil Service Examiners for the Eric office and it i§ alleged that Brush and Ebisch fur- nished L'ebel a copy of the questions to be asked in the letter carriers’ examination and a complete set of answers thereto. The expert examiners of the commission discovered evidences of the fraud and Mr. G B. Hoyt, one of the trusted employes, suc- ceeded in obtaining confessicns before the United States attorney. It is prcbabe that each of the three plead guilty, in which event the commission will not be dispozed to ask for anything beyond the lightest penaity in each case, as this, in connection with the removal of Ebisch and Licbel from the p stal service, it is believed, will deter others from attempting a like infraction of the civil servce laws. The commission’s means of detecting frauds of the character named are said to be so per- fect that escape Is very difficult. ePrsons un- acquainted with the checks in vogue, it is sald, are very liable to think that fraud is easy and detection difficult, but in this they are quite mistak GILL WITHDRAWS HIS CHARGES.

Wil Use & Bigger Gun. ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—~The ordnance bureau of the Navy departnient is preparing to follow up the tests of the armor plate of the lowa made yesterday by another to be made by a thirteen-inch gun, probably on Saturday next, or soon as the gun of this caliber, which is now on the ground, can be mounted. The ordnance officials are really anxious to penetrate the armor, as until that s done they cannot obtain a falr idea of the strength of the ship’s superstructure. They had expected the shots fired yesterday from the twelve-inch gun to put a hole en- tirely through the armor and the tes made yesterday shows the Iowa’s armor to be tho best fifteen-inch plate which has ever undergone this trial at Indian Head.

FURTHER EVIDENCE OF A J0B Board of Public Lands and Buildings Busy Explnining Matters, BEEMER'S CONTRACT A SOURCE OF PLUNDER | Would Milk the State of Move 'rn--! | the Prisone; LINCOLN, Sept. B.—(Spaclal.)—The Bee | has exposed the attempt of the Board of Pub. | lie Lands and Buildings to mulct the tax-| payers of the state in the sum of thousands of dollars In the new penitentiary deal. Nat- | urally the board members are indignant, and | thelr ring organs are busy with “first-pige | articles” in attempted denial of The Bes's ex- posure. It s claimed that Beemer will “give | back” all of the 40 cents per diem per cap- | ita allowed bim by the board In excess of the | actual cost of maintain'ng the prizoners. No- where is it so stipulated in Beemer's bid or in the contract signed. Beemer is allowed 40 | cents per capita, but nothing in excess of that. It is a tradition around the state capitol that no money saved out of an appropriation has ever been covered back into the state treas- ury. A prominent republican and ex-state of- ficer sald today that Russell's content'on that a part of the 40 cents per dxy would be piid | back to the state was not in c-nsonance with the history of the past. Warden Leldigh proves eonclusively that with 200 convicts at work, he can maintain the whole 328 for about 15 cents per cap'ta including board and pay of gwa-ds and | keopers. Contractor Beemer expects to have more than 200 convicts at work. Tae follow- ing figures will filustrate Beemer's profits 428 convicts at 40 cents for the year..s: Salary per annum ket -ents for year. hookkeeper .. Beemer's net profit per year.. $i4,172 In other words, there is $100,000 appropri- ated by the legislature to maintain the con- viets for two years. Warden Leldigh says that three-eighths of this sum will maintain them, provided they have employment. Ac cording to this, Contractor Beemer, who ex- pects to provide them with employment, will cover back into the state treasury five-eighths of the £100,000, or $62,500. This story will hardly be believed by the taxpayers of the state, and vet this is just the idea now being attempted to be conveved by the Board of Public Lands and Buildings and the “‘ring’ journals. All that Beemer's bid or contraet stipulates is that Beemer cannot bleed the state for more than 40 cents per day per capita for the conviets. Yet Mr. Beemer today, in eonversation with a correspondent of The Bee, conveyed the idea that he was willing to put up a $100,000 bond in considera- tion of a $2.200 salary. Mr. Beemer did nol claim that he was to put up a $100,000 bond for a salary of $2,200. He implied that such a rumor was without foundation YORK COUNTY'S COMING FAIR. It Will Be One Moxt Interest- ing Exhibitions Yet Witn med. YORK, Neb., Sept. b.—(Spacial)—Pre-ara tions for the coming Ycrk eounty fair are being vigorously pushed by the manazers. Around the city of York there will he ex- tensive preparations to accommoda'e t'e crowd. Notwithstanding the fact that the crops in the county of York might be better yet it is thought that the coming fair wiil bo one of the most succossful yet held in this county. Everywhere througiout fhe county there scems to be a great deal of in terest displayed in the same, and it Is thought that thera will be a large turn out. What w Il prove an attraction will be York county’s agricultural products, which prom’se to b: very good. The sugar beet display is sure to come in for its share of attention, owing to the fact that this is being broueht before the public In order to galn York a beet sugar factory. There was a small acreage planted here this year, and there will be a good display, es the crop was a suexess in this county. The accommodations to and from the fair grounds are being much improvad. What caused a great deal of dissatisfaction was the report circulated that the bicycle race be tween Rae McGreer and Gust Gocke hsd been declared off. Gocke and McGreer have on different cccasions raced at this place, ant the result has always been so close that it has not yot been decided which of the two is_the botter. However, Secretary Kl'en- schmidt declares the report is wholly errcne ous, and that the race is sure to come off. Arrangements have been made for some fast horses to be present.

Papers have been prepared and will be [ fled tn the United States circuit court in Omaba in @ suit which State Treasurer Bart- ley has commenced to recover dividends on | the state deposits lost in the Capital Na- tlonal bank. When the Capital National | bank failed it owed the state the sum of | $236,361.83. This amount had been turned over to State Jreasurer Bartley by the re- tiring treasurer, Hill, In the form ‘of a certifi- cate of deposit in the now defunct bank. Suit was 1enced by the state to recover the | mmount from ex-State Treasurer Hill and | his bondsmen. The case was tried and the Jury disagread. Now Treasurer Bartley com- inences action to recover the entire amount with intevest from Receiver K. K. Hayden of the Capital National bank. The state put in a claim to the receiver for ‘()ne amount in May, 1803, and the receiver | rejected it. The claim was presented again on June 15, 150 d the receiver refused to | pay on orders from the comptroller at Washington, who advised Receiver Hayden not to pay the amount, as it would be more satisfactory to all parties concerned to have the claim established In court. A dividend of 16 per cont has been declared by the bank the state’ of that dividend, about $51.000, is be held by Receiver Hayden pending the result of the trial of the case in the courts.
