WABSHINGTON, Jan. 7.—In the United States Supreme Court to-day opinions | were handed down by Justice Harlan in| several cases Involving the question whether it was competent for the Secre- tary of the Interior, upon receiving and approving the map of definite location of | the Northern Pacific road in the States of | North Dakota and Washington, to make | an or m: awing odd numbered sec 1 s within the indemnity | der with of the la ement. | i test case in the list came from | rth Dakota, the title being Fred Hew- iy, plainuff error, vé.

The | decision of the court supported the hold- | ing of Secretary Vilas, rendered in 1888, which decision has since been followed by the Interior Department. The court stated that while 1t was true that previous to that date the department | had pursued the opposite course, still nw‘ cover department had consistently held to its| ndings since that time.

GOLDEN AGE, PILOTED BY KILEY, HUNTSMEN RESCUE CHILD FROM A BEAR Hermoso, the Favorite, Is Beaten Out for Placea Honors|Animal Seizes Little Nila Bigsby and by Frank Bell-Four Choices Go Down at Oakland. AM HILDRETH started his big colt Golden Age in the six furlong handicap at Oakland yesterday and the talent and smart ones In general failed to guess the buried card. The track was muddy and In spots inclined to be holding, and although Her- moso was asked to pick up 126 pounds, Hookmaker Cook's sprinter was consid- ered invincible. The ring nailed up 6 to 5 against him and the crowd fell heavily. It seems that some days back Hermoso was inclined to show signs of lameness, and after he had footed it out in front with Frank Bell at his heels for over two- thirds of the route he wilted llke a frost- bitten calla lily. Then Golden Age, with Kiley on his back, strolled past the two weary leaders, winning easily in 1:18, a remarkably good race. Not the 112 pounds on the winner turew'the talent off, but Kiley. Now, there are far worse riders than Kiley, but it was %enernlly supposed Hildreth did not fancy his horse, and the price went from § to 2 to 4. Frank Bell outlasted Hermoso, taking the place. The sport was replete with surprises and upgets from the time the curtain went up. Of six favorites sent to the post, Bernota and Herculean were the only ones to re- turn with the money. Mounce rode in ex- ceptionally good form, piloting three win- ners. Almost any one of the ten starters in the first event, a seven furlong selling af- fair, looked to have a chance and there was no pronounced choice. MacLaren, with O’'Connor up, probably carried the most support, but sulking ran unplaced Mounce, on Gusto, rode a well judged race, getting to the wire a couple of lengths before Spike ana Isaline. Mounce followed this up by taking the six furlong purse run next decided wl;h n a very close finigh at the wire Asian, Hav- iland and Flatterer were heads apart. Buchanan astride Haviland came up ou the extreme outside, and many suppossd that horse had wou. Picking finishes, however, from an angle 18 extremely de- ceptive, and the judges undoubtedly made no mistake. O'Connor again gof away from the post pooriy with the favorite, Marechal Niel, running unplaced. A very pretty plece of horsemanship nota, favorite for the mile and fifty yards selliig event. O’Connor walted with ths Burns & Waterhouse eatry until well Into the stretch for home, when he caught Grafter all out, winning handily. In fact, the last named three-vear-old tired aso badly that Tony Lepping nipped the place by a head. Tenny Belle, ridden by Mounce, captured the fifth number. At odds of 4 to 1 the | filly beat her company away from the barrier, and, pever neaded, disposed of the 100 to 1 shot, E! Karn, at the end like sawing wood. O’Connor on the 6 to § favorite, Dandy Jim, rode the colt like a novice. ‘It was supposed to be the chest- nut's going, and his showing is inexplica- ble. O’Connor’s ride on Herculean in the closing mile run was in marked contrast [ to the one just mentioned. He lost no more ground than was necessary, picked | the best going and, jucging his move just right, beat Wyoming_out a head. The | winner closed a 6 to 2 favorite. Sybaris ran a very falr third.

Corbett, | ‘Willlam Daly and Walter McInerney, known as the “San Jose Commissiont cases,” were called in Judge Mcgan's court yesterday, the remittiturs having been recelved from the appellate court, Attorney Coffey, for the prosecution, asked that bench warrants be issued for | the arrest of the defendants. Corbett sald that the only defendant absent was Daly, who was in the country, but he guaran- | teed that he would be present to-morrow when the other cases were called. The defendants would then pay the fines im- posed upon them. The Judge accepted Corbett's word and did not issue the bench warrants. The same action was taken in the case of Geor‘g Duncan, whose sentence was affirmed by the ap- peilate court. There is an understanding that in all | the Loldover cases embraced in the stipu- lation between Chief Sullivan and the poolsellers all the defendants except Zick | Abrams and bis employes will plead guilty | and pay the fine of $10 rather than go to the expense of a trial by jury.

Smith, who is well connected in the East, arrived here about three months ago and registered at the Grand Hotel He had a large sum of money with him and diamonds valued at more than $2000. In an evil moment, so he claims, he met a racetrack habitue, who induced him to lace a bet on a certain horse. The horse ailed to “show,” and determined to re- | coup his small losses Smith went to the track the next day and bet all the money he had, amounting to $1800 on a “cinch,” as he thought. n the race was over the unfortunate young man found that he had bet on the wrong horse, and finding himself penniless he concluded to pawn his diamonds. With the money obtainedy on the precious stones he aln visited the track, and taking the “tip” of a “wise’” tout, whom he had known in the East, he “went down the line,” only to iose all the money he had.
