The vessel owners are combining to resist
the demand of the lake seamen's union nnd
there is every prospect of a prolonged nnd
hitter struggle between the two associations.
The seamen want nil ndvnnco to $2 per day
and demand the right to name all tbo oillccrs
of the vessel with the exception of master or
captain. The vessel owners are looking blue
over the business outlook for the season.
The short crop of last season leaves very
llttlo grain in the elevators nnd hence thcro
is not much carrying to bo had. The Iron

Lake Krlo ports are said to bo piled mast

OTOE RESERVATION LANDS ,
Prospects of a Settlement of the Long Pend
ing Disputes.
SENATOR PADDOCK'S VIEW OF THE CASE ,
"Whatever tlie Decision of the General
Land Ofllcc a Confirmatory Act
Will Be Passed by
Congress.
\VASIUNOTOX BuiiEiuTrtc HER , )
BW FOUHTKKNTII STItKKT ! , V
WASHINGTON- . C. , March 20 . )
The term "actual settler1 employed in the
two acts , the passage of which was secured
by Senator Paddock during his flrst term ,
for the sale of the Otoo reservation lands lu
Nebraska nnd Kansas , has always been con
strued by the general laud ofllco as bringing
the purchasers of thcso lands under those
acts into the same classification If actual set
tlers under tno pro-oiiiptlou law. The rules
nnd regulations formulated by the general
land ofllco to govern these cases were some
what different from ttioso for taking proofs
as to actual settlement under the pre
emption law , because of the differences
of the conditions on account of
the Indian proprietorship and occupancy
of the Otoo lands , but tno general theory ns
to proof of settlement was the same. Sena
tor Paddock has always insisted that this
was not the Intention of the net , and has
frequently urged this view upon the depart
ment. Today ho called the matter up again
in an Interview with the secretary nnd the
assistant attorney general of the Interior de
partment , and claimed that , tlih having been
the settled policy of the department , these
entries would necessarily fall within the
scope of the provisions of the net "to repeal
timber culture lands" and for other purposes
recently passed , and that sectlou 7 of the said
net must embrace these entries as well ns
those under the pre-emption law in opera
tion.
tion.That
That part of section 7 to which ho referred
reads as follows ! "All entries niado under
the pre-emption , homestead , desert land or
timber culture laws in which final proof and
payment may have been made ana certificates
Issued , and to which there are no adverse
claims originating prior to final entry , and
which have been sold or incumborcd prior to
the llrst day of March , eighteen hundred nnd
eighty-eight , and after flnal entry to bona
fldlo purchaser * , or incumbranccs for
u valuable consideration , shall , unless upon
Investigation by a government , ngont , fraud
on the part of the purchaser bos been found ,
bo confirmed and patented upon presentation
of satisfactory proof to the laud depart
ment of such sale or inctimbranco ;
provided , that after the lapse of two years
from the data of the Issuance of the receiv
er's receipt upon the final entry of any tract
of land under the homestead , timber culture ,
desert land or pre-emption laws or under this
act , and when there shall bo no pending con
test or protest against the validity of such
entry , the eiitrymnn shall bo entitled to a
patent convoying the land by him entered ,
and the same shall bo Issued to him. But
this proviso shall not bo construed to require
the delay of two years from the date of said
entry before tbo issuing of a patent there
for. "
If this provision shall bo decided as ap
plicable to the , Otoo reservation entries it
will operate to con linn many it not all of the
original titles under these > parchases Q u
Both the secretary and the attorney gen
eral admitted that this had been the rula
and the practice of the department , and most
likely that the section would apply to the en
tries , although they were not prepared to
announce It ns a linal ofllclal determination.
Mr. Paddock Insisted that If they should
not thus llnally decide that the passage of the
bill introduced by him through the senate for
the confirmation of these titles , which was
also reported favorably by the house com-
mlttco on public lands and which would have
been passed If the house of representatives
had continued In session nit hour longer on
the day of adjournment , ought to bo n suffi
cient indication of the will of congress in re
spect of this subject to warrant the depart
ment in suspending nil further consideration
of contests pending or to bo Initiated here
after until congress shall again convene and
finish tbo legislation which it so nearly com
pleted In the last session and which It is sure
to do. Both the secretary and assistant at
torney admitted tnat this was undoubtedly
a correct conclusion , and that the depart
ment should so govern itself in tbo treatment
of nil these contest cases. Senator Paddock
expressed himself as being confident which
ever of thcso courses is pursued that an
cud to these vexatious contests has
been substantially reached. If the
provision of tbo act referred to is construed
to apply to thcso cases so far as they como
within Its purview , most of thorn will un
doubtedly DO settled at once , and tboao which
cannot will surely bo protected by a confir
mation act at the next session. If It is de
cided that the Otoo cases do not como within
the provisions of the act , tbcroill bo no
question whatever as to the passage of a con'
llrmatory act for all these entries.
HUSTON'S iiEsiaNATio.v NOT VET ACCCI-THO.
The resignation of Treasurer Huston has
not been accented by tbo president , although
the fact that the treasurer left for Indiana
today led to the report that ho had at last

leaving that he is golnc to see his wife and
daughter , who arc 111 , and that ho will prob
ably return early next week. No successor
has yet been definitely selected , and Mr ,
Huston has no Intention of leaving his posi
until the president shall have had every op
portunlty to Una u suitable man for the po

A Mistake About the Treaty
WASHINGTON , March 20. Referring to the
cable dispatch about the arbitration treaty
between tbo United States and Switzerland ,
It Is learned at the state department that
there has beea no negotiations with Srltzer-
land for several year * . Such a treaty uas
under consideration and ratltloa by Switzer
land eight years ago , but Secretary Prellnc-
huyscn objected to the text as too vague nnd
the negotiation lapsed. When the arbitra
tion agreement was inado after the late Pan-
American congress , n copy of the treaty was
sent to' each Kuroiieau government. It is
presumed that this mav have been sub
mitted by tbo president of Switzerland to the
legislature.

Ilnrry Martin , stepson of S.7 p Vance , can
go Into the police court am ) it6ad ! guilty to
nn offense punlslmblo by a fine , and settle
the charge against him growing out of his
breaking white house windows last Saturday
night. If the case ever comes to n hearing
some surprising facts would no doubt como
to light. Whou Martin , who was crazftdwlth
liquor , broke away from his companions and
scaled the fence , It was done after ho
had used such 'I'm
language as , going
to do the President. ' His compan
ions feared that In his reckless
mood ho would do some rash act. As soon
ns ho started over the fence ono of his com
panions , ouo Ktirlo , ran around to the front
of the executive mansion to notify the oftleors
that Martin was coming toward the rear of
the building. Before ho could tell his story
n crash was heard In the rear. Policemen
Kcnnoy nnd Duhols mndo a rush for the win
dow. Martin , who Is nn athlete , struck ICon-
ncy a heavy blow , which nearly stunned
him. The president , who had heard the
crash , was upon the seeno In a few seconds ,
nnd if ho had not assisted the ofllcers there
would no doubt have been more trouble than
there was , President Harrison , seeing
the dlfllculty the men had In strug
gling with the powerful young fel
low , cut away ono of the ropes
that fastened the curtain nnd with the
ofllccrs' i assistance bound Martin securely.
The president tied the knots himself nnd
iniulo a neat job of it , ns ho was much less
nervous and excited than the others who had
been In the struggle. Since the affair hap
pened the president has been visited by at
least n score of people , who have begged him
to Intercede in behalf of the unfortunate
young man , but thus far , so far as known ,
the president has taken no action In the
matter. The president , It is said , does not
think Martin's conduct should go without
any punishment. It Is asserted , however ,
that the president is not desirous of having
him sent to prison , and for that reason n
charge of assaulting Policeman IConney will
bo filed if his counsel will ncroo to enter a
plea of guilty , with the understanding that
a fine will bo Imposed.
