No careful examination was mado of the phntogrnphs. but witness supposed instructions had been complied with. Witness first knew of the error after Gunther's testimony when he told him at his room that Atwater's house was not shown in the photograph. His insistence upon the point when Gunther was testi- fying was inspired by his own certainty t that time that the house was there. He had made Gunther correct the testi- mony as soon as he had learned that it was wrong, and as far as he knew the explanation had been satisfactory to op- posing counsel. On ° cross-examination by Attorney Adalr, witness admitted that he had seen the property several times, but never to make a close inspection. He sald the Secretary of the Interior could not be de- celved, because he had exhibit 56, which showed the Atwater house. Plaintiff tried | to Introduce certain evidence going to | show that Houghton had used influence with the Secretary of the Interior. Some witnesses were recalled by the court. Ar- guments were heard in the evening and the matter was taken under consideration by the court. History of the Case. Matthew Gage was the constructor of the canal which waters higher Riverside lands. Section 30 was taken up by Gage under the desert land act, and was to have been patented by him when water from the canal was turned on. By alleged com- plicity of the engineers, the water was not turned on in time. The claim was then jumped by Gunther, Atwater and Newman on homestead filings. The long | litigation over the ejectment suits was | finally decided in Gage's favor by Judge | Noyes. Disbarment proceedings ~were | then instituted by Gage. | | | GIFT OF A COIN A AN EARNEST OF GOOD WILL President McKinley Sends Greeting to the Chief Executive of France. SR | First of the Lafayette Dollars Pre- sented to M. Loubet in the Name of the American People. Sn Sl oo PARIS, March 3.—Robert J. Thompson, secretary of the Lafayette Monument Commission, as special commissioner of the United States, representing the Presi- dent and in his name presented President Loubet this morning the first of the La- fayette dollars, which was inclosed in a casket costing $1000. The presentation tcox place at Elysee Palace. Mr. Thompson, accompanied by the United States Embassador, General Hor- ace Porter, drove from the embassy to the palace in the Embassador’s carriage. On arriving at the Elysee, at 11:45 a. m., they were recelved by M. Mellard, sub-director of the protocol, and Captain Haguet of the French navy, who was the officer 01 duty. The Americans were conducted to the President’s study, where M. Loubet was awalting them. By his side were M.

Several members of the President’s household were also present. General Porter introduced Mr. Thomp- son to President Loubet, and the pre- sentation of the dollar was then made by Mr. Thompson. He said: Mr. President: In the name, and on behalf of the President of the United States, 1 have the distinguished honor of extending to you, representative of the republic of France, salutations and greetings of riendship. From' the 17th of October, 1868, the anniver- | sary of the victory of Yorktown, won by the French and American arms in the cause of liverty, the Amerfcan school youths were in- vited “by the Piesident and Governors of the several States of the United States to contrib- ute their pennies toward the erection of the monument in Paris to a son of France, our great and venerated ally, General Lafayette. The response of the chiliren was universal, the movement a splendid success. In further aid and in honor of the work an Issue of 50,000 souvenir silver dollars was appropriated and ordered struck by Congress. Of these 50,000 Lafayette dollars the first to issue from Mint was especlally preserved | for your Excellency by the President of the | United States, and I have now the distinguished honor, Mr. President, of presenting to you this coin, ‘a simple and ‘sympathetic token in his name and for the people of the United States. I voice the sentiments of my countrymen when 1 express the hope that this memorial dollar, stamped with the likeness of Wash- ington and Lafayette, may remain always, as it is to-day, an emblem of the amity and the unity of purpose of the two great republics of the world. Loubet Deeply Touched. In reply the President sald he was deep- 1y touched by the kind thought of Amer- fca’s President and people, and particu- larly by the gracious manner in which the | coin had been presented to him by Mr. Thompson. He begged the latter to be the interpreter to the President of his warm- est thanks and sentiments toward Presi- dent McKinley and the American nation which animated the President and Gov- ernment of the French republic, M. Loubet added that he congratulated himself on receiving this souvenir, which was a freeh ledge of the reciprocal ties of esteem and riendship which had so long united France and the United States and which he hoped to see draw closer and stronger. President Loubet concluded by saying that it was especlally agreeable to him that the mission was intrusted to Mr. Thompson, in view of the initiatory part which the latter took in the subscriptions of the school children to erect a monu- ment to General Lafayette in Paris. The French President then invited Gen. eral Porter and Mr. Thompson to stay to luncheon, at which Madame Loubet ‘and M. Delcasse were present. During the luncheon ‘which followed, M. Loubet engaged In animated conversation with General Porter and Mr. Thompson, in which he accentuated and amplified what he had previously said in his forma\ res‘fonue on the subject of the historical and sentimental ties between the two re- publics and his sincere desire for a good understanding, He alluded to the Franco- American reciprocity treaty now before the two parliaments, and dwelt upon the mutual advantages he hoped would ac- crue therefrom, expressing his opinion that not merely the articles directly af- fected by the trentx would benefit, but that the whole trade between the two pansion, and that the channel of co mercial intercourse would widen inevita- bly in the course of time. Mutual Trade Relations. ““We both have reasons to desire a de- velopment of mutu. trade,” M. Lou- bet remarked. ‘‘You want our luxuries and we need your articles of necessity.” The President then spoke of the great wheat production of the United States and its enormous agricultural possibili- es. Mr. Thompson told the President there was a movement on foot in Chicago to found a branch of the Sons of the Ameri- can Revolution among the descendants of French soldiers who had fought side by side with the American_colonists in the war of independence. President Loubet showed keen interest in the idea and Mr. Thnmgmn left with a confident feeling that the French authorities here will give the fullest assistance to the establish- ment of a French branch and in search- ing the military records for the names of those wholj)lrllcipsled in the war. General Porter and Mr. Thompson were delighted with the exceptional cordialit; f their reception. The function differe from the usual ceremonlies of the kind in the absence of chilling formality, M. Loubet putting his visitors at complete ease by the affability of his ‘reetlns. The "President placed the Presidential box at the Theater Francaise on Monday and at the opera on Wednesday at Mr. Thompson’s disposal. The latter will send Madame Loubet a Lafayette dollar. FRANCE ANXIOUS FOR AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP Copyrighted, 1900, by the Associated Press. PARIS, March 3.—France, beyond a doubt, is anxious for the hand grip of friendship of the United States; and not only 18 this true of the Government, but nished another unmistakable proof of the existence of this feeling. Referrence to the event in the French journals of all political shades have been invariably of the most sympathetic character and the ceremony itself is treated as if destined to prove another link in the historical friendship of the two natfons. President Loubet himself is charmed with the whole affair and the manner in which it was carried out. Prior to the ceremony he privately expressed these sentiments, and also his view that the way the scheme had been taken up was an indi- cation of the attitude of the great body of American opinion toward France: Another expression of the feeling in the offictal world has appeared in the Gov- ernment’s mouthplece, which, after re- Viewing the inception and execution of the idea, concludes by saying: “All these demonstrations form a veri- table cult consecrated by the Americans to the fllustrious citizens who aided them -2 cases 34-inch INGS, new colorings. ....ouuun value for $1.25.
