" ILLINOIS CKNTIIAL WINS. The case of the United States , nppellanl against the Illinois Central railroad , Is on of the Bo-called Lake front cases In Chlcagc The ono decided today Involved n piece eland land which the United States had coded t the state of Illinois , and which Illinois hni ceded to the Illinois Central. The state' right to do this was Involved In the case decision being delivered by Justice Field The decision Is against the United States the judgment of the lower court beliij afllrmed. Justices Brewer and Ilrown dU Rented. The chief Justlco having been o counsel In the court below took no part Ii \ the case In this court. The public ground o the plat of the Fort Dearborn addition t Chicago , on which the Illinois Central statloi Is located , Is the property Involved. Th government's contention was that It hai been the ouncr of the land In question am had dedicated It to a public purpose , am that It could not be diverted from this stlpu luted purpose. The land In 1S04 was a mill tary post. The point Involved was that I was reserved from bale for military pur IIOSCH and was used for military purpose until 1837. It was then laid off Into an ad dltlon under direction of the secretary o war. The plat contained the words "Public ground forever to remain vacant o buildings. " llut soon after 1815 nil lots wen Bold by the United States , "by and arcordlni to said plat. " . The court holds that the In terest of the United States In the streets alleys , ways and commons and land Intendci for other public uses In this plat may havi continued so long as it held title to adjoin Ing lots , but not afterwards without dls regard of the statutory regulations of tin ptato under which the government had soli the adjoining property. The decision reads "Tho Interest In and the control ot tin United States over the streets , alleys am commons ceased with the record of the pla and that ot the adjoining lots. Their Inter est passed , and the lots Bold to the ret > pcc live vendees , subject to the jurisdiction o the local government , and the control of tin streets , alleys and grounds passed by expres : designation of the state law to the corporati authorities of the city. " NORTHERN PACIFIC CASRS. One decision ot much Importance was thai of Richard V. Harden and others against tin Northern Pacific Railway company. As r test case it Involves the title to nianj thousands of acres of mineral lands alon ( the Northern Pacific railroad , principally Ii the state ot Montana and Included wltlili the land grants to the road from the govern' ment under the act of July 2 , 1SG1. Undei tlm terms of this act mineral lands wen excluded from the terms of the grant. Mineral finds of gold'and silver were dls covered on some of the lands after the rail road had taken possession and suits over tin title ensued. The question at Issue \vat whether the language of the act meant thai lands known to bo mineral when the grant was made were subject to Its actions , 01 whether subsequent discoveries that the lands were mineral In character would de- prlvo the company of any title to such lands , The land grants Included alternate odd num bered sections for a width of forty miles Along the road line , embracing In all SO.OOC nmmro miles. In the Harden case the cir cuit court of the district of Montana de cided In favor of the railroad , the lower court favoring the claimant and the circuit court overruling It. Justlco Field delivered the opinion of the court today , asserting a want of knowledge at the tlmo of the grant of the land reserved would not give title tc such lands , and that It would not be claimed the government had not the right to pre serve parts ot public lands In making grants thereof , The original exception of mineral lands was without mialltlcatlon , and It Bcemcd plain as words could make It that mineral lands known and unknown were specifically reserved to the United States , It was difficult to see on what principle the word "known" could be Inserted Into the act of congress. The territory was known td embrace great quantities of minerals. In cluding gold and silver , and In all grants ol lands to railways , mineral lands , except coal and Iron , were cxcepted and such grants were never known to pass title to minerals. It was Impossible at the time of the grant for congress to know what lands contained minerals particularly , considering the condi tion of the territory. Tha United States could not have meant In such an hour of distress to Its finances to give away the title to such Imperial wealth , but left discovery of minerals to future explorations. It was a certain rule of grants that nothing was convoyed by Implication except what was absolutely essential to the enjoyment of the grants. "There Is , In our opinion , no force In the claims advanced by the plaintiff" ( the railway company ) , sold the justice , and ho added that the fact that the lands had been listed at the land ofllce In 1868 had no bind ing force. The purposes of a government would bo frustrated If by Implication It could bo deprived of essential powers by privileged corporations. The powers of the land ofllco In deciding questions of title were discussed and several authorities from the Buprcmc court and the Interior department cited , among them an assertion by Secretary Lamar when at the head of the department , that patents had always been refused rail ways to land upon which mineral Ind been discovered prior to the application for a patent. In conclusion the justice announced that the decision of 'the circuit court was reversed and the cause remanded , with directions to grant the defendants ( Harden nnd others ) demurrers. Justices llrower , Gray and Shlras dissented from the opinion. In the case of Primrose against the West- cm Union Telegraph company Justlco Gray reaffirmed the principle that a telegraph ccmpany was not subject to damages for a mistake In a cipher dispatch transmitted on a blank containing provisions absolving the company frcm damages. Justlco Ilarlnn announced the decision of the court atllrmlng the decision ot the Cali fornia courts In the conviction of Thomas Pt Clalr of murdering the mate ot the ship Hcsper while on the high seas. STI5AMSHIP HAYTIBN REPUBLIC. The case of the United States against the steamship Haytlcn Republic , which was libeled flrat In the" district of Washington and later I" the district ot Oregon , for smuggling opium , was decided In favor of the government. It was contended by the sUnmshlp owners that since the vessel had been libeled In Washington and was re- leafed under bond for 1U value It could not 111 again libeled while the first case was pending. They also claimed that second charges Involving the same nature of offense - fenso us the first were practically the same I ? offenses In the matter ot libeling the vessel. the opinion. I Ji-ellce White gave SECRETARY GRESHAM REVERSED. Probably the most Interesting decision was ono Involving the standing of the Interstate Commerce commission , In which the court overruled a decltton by the present secre tary of state , Justices Fuller , Brewer und Jackson dissenting. The appeal brought up for review a Judgment rendered December 7 , 1802 , by the United 8lato circuit court for the northern district of Illinois in the coio of the commission ugaluit William Ilrliuon , J. 8. Keefe and W. Sterling , de claring lectlou 12 ot the Interstate com- mer o act to In * iinponitlint on.il. The par tics named , officer * ot a niilroml company appeared as wittiest hufotc the rommKMmi were ordered to pr dticc tht'lr book' , ro fitncd tu do so tinder atlvl < v of counsel , nn < tin1 commission appealed ( o the court U compel 'hem. Judge Ore lmm decided thai "no much of section 12 as authorizes or ro r I u I r pa the cotirti to use their prcccss In nli of Inquiries before the Interstate Commerce coniiiil-lnn Is unconstitutional nnd void. ' Justice Hnrlnn discussed ut length the scope and purpose of the act. Thp judicial powci of the United Slatcn , he raid , extends to all canes arising nmlcr the constitution or IMV. ' of the United Slates , nnd the circuit court ; of the United States are capable of oxer- clilng the power In cases of that character under restrictions prescribed by congress , The fundamental question he held to be whether the proceeding was a "case" within the meaning of the constitution. The cir cuit court had adjudged It to be not such n "cane. " The coutt below had held that If the act prescribed a penalty for refusal to" testify , Btich proceeding would consti tute a case , while a civil proceeding author ized by congress to compel a witness to testify would not bo a case of which cog nizance would be taken by any court. "This Interpretation of the constitution would restrict employment of means to carry Into effect powers granted to congress within much narrower limits than In our judgment Is warranted by the Instrument , " said Jus tice H.irlnn. "The test of the power of congress wa the judgment of courts that particular means were not the best that could Imvo been employed , but whether the moans arc micunstiliitloiinl. There Is no doubt of the power of congress to authorize the commission to summon persons and papers regarding any matter which might be legally committed to that body for In vestigation. The appellees denied the right of the government to make them testify , and power to decide the dispute must rest somewhere. It could not be that the government was helpless In such nn emer gency.

May 27.-Speclal ( to The Bee. ) "I nm surprised , " says Congressman Lucas of South Dakota , " that the Sioux Falls democratlo paper should continually misrepresent me concerning that cadetshlp to the AnnupollH naval academy. I recom mended the appointment ot Edward Clough of Deadwood , with Willie lirennan of Hcr- mesa as alternate. Wllllo Hrennan failed to appear for examination , because he was ad vised by his friends that he could not PUBS the examination for scholarly efllclenoy. Young Mr. Clough went to Annapolis and passed the mental examination all right , but failed to pass the physical examination. When notified of the result I went to An napolis nnd used every effort to Induce the examiners to pusa Mr. Clough anil accept him , but they would not do so. The tlma had expired , within two or three days , for the appointment of a cadet , and the secre tary of the navy notltleil me that unless I recomemnded Home- one at once he would inalcp tlio appointment without my recom mendation. It was Impossible to prevent Immediate action In the case , and It was Impossible for anybody from Dakota to get here to secure the place , 1 did not want to lose my entire privilege In the matter of this appointment , so 1 recommended the appointment of a son oC Commander Hous ton of the navy. I did my whole duty In recommending two Dakota boys , nnd It was not my fault that neither of them could pass the examination. The Sioux FallH editor knows these facts , and , In all fair ness and common courtoHy , he ought to publish only the fncln und not represent me as giving away positions which belong to Dakota boys to outsiders.

WHEN THE SEW TARIFF COMi Business Will Bo Better After the Pressnr is Whclly Removed. GORMAN AND HILL HELP OUT SOMI Dcclnr.it mil and Tout Vnlo In ( lie Semite Sorto to Iti'llpta the l.'iiccrlulnty nnil tllin tlio Denier * of the Country .Something to do On. NBW YORK , May 27. Henry Clews , licai of tlic banking liouso of Henry Clews & Co. writes of the situation In Wall street : "Affairs In Wall street liavu shown llttl change during the past week. There hnv been no new happenings to vary the COUTH of events , and transactions have been con fined principally to the 'Industrials' In lluenced by the chances and rumors of tarlfl legislation , with small skirmishing opera tlons by the bear room traders. So fur as respects the general situation there has beei no distinct change. Prices have showi some recovery from the slight declines of the previous week , and , taken as a whole , the market Indicates no departure from the settled disposition of the larger holders tc cling to their stocks until final action ot the. tariff relieves the general stagnancy o business. "Fortunately , there Is at last some deflnlU reason to hope for a comparatively early cnt to tlio partisan dickering which has so long kept tariff legislation In suspense. The declarations or Mr. Gorman In the senate on Wednesday and the result of the test vote on Mr. Teller's motion to table tlio bll show that the democratic senators have a last reached an agreement which will enable them to pass the measure by a fair majority If the representations published are correct as to the extent of the changes made In the bill from Us house form , there would seem to be little or no well gioumled reason for doubt about an agreement being reached In joint confcrenco between tlio two houses. The agreement , too , will probably be fount' to contain some welcome concessions to Im portant Industries , and to that extent tlit new tariff will be less threatening to manu facturers than has been feared. "Thus , ono of the great uncertainties of the situation may bo considered as having been settled. It Is now as sure as anything In the future can bo that we are to have a new tariff. That clears the way to some further Immediate resumption ot biiHlnebs , for. In respect to n wide range of articles , It Is already approximately known what the changes In duties will be ; and manufac turers and Importers can Incur little risk from uncertainties in such cases , but may proceed forthwith to such operations' as the state of the markets may seem to justify , In anticipation of the final enactment of the bill. This means quite an Important extent of relief from the prevailing suspense ; those interests , however , upon which rates of duty must remain undetermined until the two houses have reached si agreement seem doomed to the tortures of another month on the factional gridiron. "At present , then , It seems safe to assume that by the 1st of July the country will know exactly the condition upon which Its manufacturing and Importing operations will have to be conducted. The now reduced Interval of suspense can be endured , but after that will come a piocess of readjust ment under those conditions. The extent of pressure to be endured under that phase will depend principally upon the spirit shown by labor toward employers. If work men assume that they can exact the old rates of wages am ) at the same tlmo benefit by the lower prices necessitated by dimin ished duties , they will simply necessitate a struggle by which the industries will be crippled and trade subjected to continued depression , while the men themselves will hove to suffer from Idleness until they concede - cede to the necessities growing out of the new situation. Unfortunately , the trades unions are showing too much disposition to pursue this selfish and Impossible policy. But , on the other hand , they are fortunately taking this attitude when their labor can be most easily dispensed with , and It la , there- tore , likely that , by the time when manu facturing will have begun to recover , they will better recognize. < lhtf sacrifices ; that [ airly and Inevitably fall upon them In com mon with employers. The probabilities , therefore , seem to admit of a reasonable iiopo that the resistance to a revival of justness arising from the wage earning In terest will not prove seriously embarrassing : o the coming Industrial revival. "The one great check to the recovery In iiercantllo circles Is the uncertainty as to ho futurn course of prices. The effect of ; hat doubt Is to cause traders to buy In the smallest possible quantities and to keep the imallost possible stocks. And this process produces disappointment at the apparent imallness of transactions a feeling , how- warranted If comparisons sver , which is not fully parisons are made on month's totals in stead of individual parcels. When this dls- rust of values ceases as It must when the lew duties come Into operation one very mportant cause of the prevailing depres- ilon will disappear. ' ' COTTON1 SKIJD OIL. Great Strides Made by n Comparatively New Industry. A history of the cotton seed oil Industry if the south Is one of the principal features if the Maufacturers Record of Baltimore his week , from which the following Is an ixtract : "In 1880' there were forty cotton seed nllls , with an aggregate capital of $3,500- iOO. There are now 300 mills , having n com- ilned capital of about $30.000,000. At pres- mt about 1,500,000 tons of seed are annually iscd by the mills , yielding to the farmers , bout $18,000,000 a year for a product which , mill recently , was regarded as waste tna- erlal. The total output Is about J.500,000 larrels , or 00,000,000 gallons of oil , 500,000 ons of cotton seed meal , 760,000 tons of mils and 30,000,000 pounds of Kilters , the ggregato value of which will average about 30,000,000. The demand for oil Is steadily ixpandlng , and as only about one-third of he total cotton seed crop U now consumed ly the mills , there Is practically un- Imlted room for the growth of this busl- IQSB. Ten years ago the hulls were burned ly the mills as a fuel , as no other use could 10 found for them. Investigation proved hat they made excellent fodder , and last ear about -100,000 head of cattle were fat- ened for the market on cotton seed hulls , rhlle 100,000 milch cows wore fed on the ame material , " Much of the cotton oil U consumed In the nape of salad oil , the article making on ex- client substitute for ollvo oil. Purchasing he salad oil that bears foreign labels will lot always Insure the consumer against elng deceived , as largo quantities of the otton oil are annually exported to Italy ml France , there to be mixed with ollvo 11 and labeled as the pure product. Sugar In Kurupr. The low prices ruling In Europe for re ined sugar have prompted discussion of he matter by triulo journals ot repute , 'hcso Journals , according to the report of he New York Bulletin , are outspoken In ho Htutemont that supplies of raw material ro extremely heavy. They also udvlso hat distributers purchase carefully , slnco ast experience and present prospects In- Icute that they have more to gain than a lose by going slow. Significance IB at- acl.ed to the fact that the supply In sight t the beginning of the month of May was 10 less than 1,757,000 tons , despite the low rices that have ruled and the consequent nccntlvo to heavier consumption. A year rtvloua the visible supply was reckoned at ,425,000 tons. On the face of the returns n Increase of 332,000 tons would appear to ave taken place In a twelvemonth , and the otal Is shown to have been above the aver- ge for the corresponding period ot the pro- edlng four years by about 379,000 tonu , Ifcsldes this , tome emphasis la laid upon the act that values have ruled lower anil the ruclo U advised not ( o buy except as I lu crative wuntu dictate. Ono writer fls- orts , after due allowance for low prices , tc. , that "It Is only on rare occasions that uyliig largely for forward d llvery turns ut satisfactorily to the parties who have mally to receive the sugar , " The came irlter also remarks that "U the proceed of tfvUrrs in and the Importers of foi clgn rcflne.l sugar , which have been goln on within the Jut six or eight mouthi were fully knowi/llt / would be convincing ! I'icved that the severe and almost nlnrniln monetary losses irffiT leon ) sustained by thos speculative Indlrmnrrts who have been s misled ad to go oiltfurchaslng suiar In ar ticlpatlon of requirements , which have neve como to relieve 'ttioni of the liurdensom and unsold BUfMrH tthey have on hand. That some of tAiHHurdosome sugars hav been diverted from .European to America markets Is a simple matter of record , an that some of tluJaeAoils have been sold avery -very low figures ft also an cstnbllnhed facl U would not rcijillrc. very great Invcstlgn tlon to produce facts going to show tha American distributers have had quite a unpleasant experfchCb as those of Kurop li ultimate returns from stock purchasei ahead.

On the whole , however prices have ruled lower than for the prevloui week and general conditions are about ai unfavorable as they have been at any time The market across the water Is In bad shape and strikes , lockouts and numberless In dustrlal troubles have demoralized business at home , seriously reducing the consttmptloi of meat. The dressed meat men have thsli coolers full and find it difficult to secure t market for their product , while shloperi and exporters are naturally doing very little The market today was very nearly steady Receipts were fair and the quality was aboul up to the average. Dressed beef men wort wanting some cattle , but outside buyers were Indifferent and In many cases bearish. The handy fat grades of steers moved readily al about Friday's figures , while the usual dis crimination on the part of buyers agalnsl heavy cattle made It difficult to work on anything weighing over 1,200 Ibs. , unless II was good , nt rather shaded prices. There was nothing In the situation to Induce seller * to hold on and a very 'air clearance was effected before noon. The cow market has been monotonously steady all week. Offer ings have been comparatively limited anil good fat stock has commanded strong prices , while the common and canning grades have ruled slow and weak. Today's supply was rather larger proportionately than usual and the spread In values was widened , the best grades selling stronger up to $3.85 and com moner and cunning grades weaker down to $1.25. Veal calves sold at steady to stronger prices and heavy calves and yearlings ruled slow and eas'lcr. Bulls , oxen and stags were In very fair Demand at Just about steady prices. > i , Dry weather Ilia-demoralized the feeder trade , Increaslngjtlfeo&upply and at the same time reducing tliejil friand. Supplies have been accumulating tlrf the yards In specu lators' hands anfl't'plices have suffered a decline of any wliere , , from 30c to 60c. In fact It Is hard to finda , buyer at any prlco. This decline 1msilscwl \ feeders more In line with the way fat cattle are selling , but this fact affords little Inducement to feeders whose pastures are dried up or drying up fast. A good ruin vjould help this branch of the business amazingly. Good to choice feeders are quoted At $3.00@3.30 , fair to good at $2.753.00rf atyl thq commoner grades at from $2.75 dowi , Tl The arrivals of hqgs for the past week have been on unnhiiiiially ( liberal scale , ex hibiting a .marked , Increase over this tlmo last year oftncarly 100 per cent , ffhe quality has been genorallybood , with the average weight somewhat lighter than recently. The week's supply runs pretty close to 50,000 head , the heaviest week's run In over a year. Naturally , with such excessive re ceipts , prices- have ruled , lower , although there has been a good general demand right along. The consumptive demand , however , owing to dull times and the hot weather , has not Improved any , and so it has been a comparatively easy matter for packers to force lo'wer prices. All classes of buyers are still exhibiting a preference for butcher weight and heavy grades , but not enough to cause much of , a range of values , the spread scarcely ever exceeding 5c or lOc. During the first half of the week prices went off lOo to 15c , but later part of this was regained on more favorable news from Chicago , and today's decline puts prices back 5c to lOc under last Saturday's quotations , a compar atively Insignificant decline In view of the excessive supply. Receipts today were the heaviest since ( \prll 12 , when , by a coincidence , exactly the same number were received as were hero today. A bearish feeling prevailed , and sell- srs were all prepared for lower prices. There was not a very vigorous shipping and speculative demand , but local packers were ready to buy freely at a lOc decline. Fair to good hogs , regardless of weight , sold largely at $4.60 , with some of the better jutcher weight and heavy loads at $4.05 and i $4.70 top , and poor , light , mixed stuff at (4.50 ( and $4.55. The close was weak , but the pens were cleared In pretty good season. Dn Friday most of the hogs brought $4.70 , ind on last Saturday the bulk of the trading ivas at $4,65 and $4.70. There was not by any menus n heavy run if sheep today , but there were apparently more than the trade wanted. Supplies have been liberal all week both here and else- , vhore , and prices have gradually declined , .lie drop for the week amounting to lG@25c. The demandtoday , was of the most Indlffer- mt characte'r , and the trade quotably dull it the above decline.

According to the California Fruit Grower "the fruit crop of the state promises well , with the exception of prunes , which have been dropping badly. The apri cot crop will prove the largest In years. The damage by frost In some districts will not bo noticed In the general output. Peaches promise well. There fa some talk about a short crop of raisins In the Selma , Fowler and Oleander districts , owing to cut worms eating the leaves from the vines. incllablo estimates place the coming crop of primes at flve-clghths of last year's. The shortage will bo the greatest In the Santa Clara valley , where the bulk of the prunes are produced at present. " This Is not a very alarming condition of affairs , but some of the coast Journals , It Is noticed , summarize the situation In a rather different manner , and from some of these outlines It might bo presumed that the crop generally will be short , As an Illustration In this connection , the following from an editorial article In the Herald of Trade Is Interesting : "So far this season the weather lias been warm to hot and sultry , with an almost total absence of moisture In the air. The result of the unfavorable conditions this year has been to make peaches , apricots and prunes drop heavily In the dry sections where Irri gation was not available. Aside from the lack of moUturo there were heavy frosts In some sections , which did great damage In the more advanced orchards of apricots. Cherries have not suffered with the other fruits , but the crop of berries In many localities will bo short. There can bo no question but that the average yield to the tree of apricots , peaches , prunes and pear.s will bo considerably below that ot 1SU3 , but an Increase this year In the number of prune trees that will bear will probably more than offset any falling off of the average yield to the tree. " _ _ 1'rodnco Pointers. Good tomatoes have been far from plenty during the past week. Some arrlvo too green and others are too ripe. The Arkansas berry crop was ruined by too much rain and now Missouri Is getting It just at the tlmo when her berry crop Is ripening. The strawberry crop has been very unfortunate this Beaton. "Wire mo the tomato market dally so I can keep posted and let my paper have It to print , as they ore anxious for good mar ket reports , " writes a Mississippi tomato shipper to a local commission house. While potatoes In this market are so plenty as to keep prices down. New Yoilt IH complaining of a scarcity. The old potato tate crop appears to linvo been exhausted nnd European potatoes are being brought In to make up the deficiency. The produce commission men of Omaha Imvo decided to mnUo ono more attempt to L'loso up their places of business on Satur- Jiiy afternoons. All but three houses Imvo algned an agreement to do so. but It re mains to bo seen how lone the agreement will hold gcod , The Detroit Board of Health Is worried iver the quantity of decayed fruit that Is Doing shipped to that market. The secre tary has written Omaha commission liouues to slate It It Is a fact that Detroit Is get ting more spoiled fruit than other markets. \B none of the Omaha commlislon men Imvo > een In Detroit lately It Is not likely .that : hey will bo able to answer the question. A good deal has been ) > ald about com- nlsBlon firms Bending out quotations higher linn the market. A letter has Just came a hand which was sent out to a country ihlpper by a local eommlailon hoiue. In .hla letter eggs were quoted nt lOo per lo/en , . although the market nt that tlmo va8 only flc. Was the commission mini gnorant of the market or did ho Intend to lecelvo the shipper ?

But the enormous 1 demand for Pearline for something that will save work and yet be safe to use , has started u host of wash- ing-powders , all imitations of Pearline. They ought to make women think. If you can get risky help from a poor imitation , why not get safe help from the original and the best ?
