Whnt Secretary Lamnr Says About Cor-
poration Indemnity Land
Nkw Yokk May 23 A Washington
special to the World says Our corres-
pondent had a conversation yesterday
with Secretary Lamar in regard to the
question of land reform and Indian re
form A letter to the President on the
revocation of certain indemnity with-
drawals is only the first step toward a
general revocation of dl indemnity with-
drawals in remaining parts of the coun-
try as he stated in his letter in these
words Steps wnl be taken in re-
ference to the indemnity of lands and the
land grants of railroads to a view to re-
storing these lands to settlement as soon
as the department is in possession of
such information as will enable it to act
intelligently in making allowances to said
companies of indemnity lands in lieu of
boselost Secretary Lamar said I
im by tbe habit of my mind a cautious
man and take pains to
inform myself fnlly of all circumstances
of a case btfore I deign to act but when
I have begun action I dont turn back nor
hesitate nor delay I am fully convinced
that all lands which have been withrawn
from settlement at various times to allow
land grant corporations to select indem-
nity lands from ought to be opened with-
out delay and this is what I shall do
Every indemnity withdrawal will be re-
voked by me without unnecessary delay
My first order on the subject simply
clears the ground for complete action on
which I have determined
Have you any objections to this being
known
Not in the least I auhtorize
you to say it is from

porations are and have been entitled for
years to select lands in indemnity limits
to make good any losses in their granted
limits but I hold that while corporations
had and have this right the people had
and have at the same time the right to
settle on these lauds under the land laws
and It is jut and necessary that this
equal right of the people in these lands
should be asserted Hence I shall revoke
every indemnity withdrawal and open all
indemnity lands to settlement at once
within granted limits The land grant
corporations have certain rights to the
exclusion of people that is by act of
Congress within the indemnity limits
Tbe corporations have their rights of
selection only in common with the
people
Temporarily Settled

CLEVELAND GOING TO ST LOUIS
Washington May 23 A delegation
of twentylive gentlemen representing
the business interests of St Louis and
including representatives of all branches
of the municipal government waited
upon the President at noon today and
extended to him and Mrs Cleveland a
cordial invitation to visit St Louis dur-
ing the coming fall The delegation was
headed by Mayor Francis ancl included
Messrs George R Allen president of tbe
City Council John S Moflltt John G
Prather John G Priest Jordon W Lam-
bert S P Gait Joseph Sprect Law-
rence Harrigan D S Pnelan George D
Barnard and General E D Meir They
were accompanied by Commissioner Col
man and Mr Switzer of the Bureau of
Statistics The invitation was contained
in a large elegantly bound book with
carved wooden covers representing
the great bridge and the principal munici-
pal buildings of St Louis The clasp and
edges of the book are of solid silver
bearing the initials G C The invitation
is beautifully engraved on satin and is
signed by over 40000 persons The
President received the delegation In the
Cabinet room Mayor Francis made a
short speech in which he said that the
people of St Louis would be glad and
honored to receive a visit from the Presi-
dent at any time It would probably
afford them greater pleasure if he could
arrange to be in St Louis during the
Grand Army encampment in September
next The committee he said desired
to supplement the invitation of the Grand
Army men but if the President could not
come during their encampment they
would like him to come whenever he
found It convenient an they would
assure him of a warm welcome
The President made a brief reply In
which after expressing his appreciation
fthe compliment extended to him he
said that while it was absolutely impossi
ble to anticipate the exigencies of the
public service so far ahead as September
he could not now see why he should not
visit St Louis at the time indicatedabout
the last of September lie said therefore
that he would take pleasure in accepting
their kind invitation The delegation
applauded vigorously at his acceptance
Mayors Francis remarked that he had al-
ways heard It was hard to get the Presi-
dent to promise anything The Presi-
dent replied Yes but when I do I
usually carry it out The delegation
was then presented Individually to the
President and departed very much pleased
with their interview The committee
subsequently extended an invitation to
the members of the Presidents cabinet
INTEBSTATE COMMERCE
Washington May 23 Before the
Inter State Commerce Commission today
Will Brown in behalf of the Chicago and
ilton Railroad Company filed charges
against the Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
pany for violation of the third section of
the interstate commerce act He charged
specifically that tbe Pennsylvania Com-
pany had unlawfully given preference
and advantage to the Chicago Burlington
and Quincy Road in trying to get passen
gers at Chicago and denied to the Chica-
go and Alton reasonable facilities of in-
terchange of passenger tr flic alleged to
be the result of an unlawful combination
of the Pennsylvania and other
Companies to coerce the public Mr
Brown also filed on behalf of the Chi-
cago and Rock Island and Pacific Railway
CompanieM similar charges against the
New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad Company The commission
after hearing his statement entered an
order for the companies against which
the complaint are made to appear and
make answer In ten days
Statements were also filed in behalf of
the Chicago and Alton and the Chicago
and Rock Island Railroads in answer to
complaints made against them by the
Burton Stock Cattle Company
The commission has received a com-
munication from the Mississippi Railroad
Commission protesting against the sus-
pension of section 4 save only as to ex-
ceptional shipments in cases where same
is manifestly demanded to secure speedy
transit
The City Council of Central City Neb
ilso protests against any suspension of
the fourth section of the act
SECRETARY LAMAR ON CATTLE LEASES
Washington May 23 In an interview
regarding the ejectment Of cattle from
lands within the Indian reservation and
the Indian severalty laws generally Sec-
retary Lamar says We are still buey
with the preliminaries which are num-
erous as there are many reservations and
the circumstances on each are peculiar
That law is one of the most important
and beneficent Congress ever passed
The true way to settle the Indian
question is to abolish the In-
dian bureau I mean of course
to pursue such policy as will result In
that I do not anticipate any strious
obstacles The numerous leases of In-
dian lands by cattlemen I shall sweep
away If they were allowedjto subsist
the Indians who have made leases of this
kind for which as you know there is no
authority of law would be in-
duced to resist the law of Con-
gress commanding their settlement
in severalty I shall therefore give
proper notice presently that the cattle
must be removed and the leases annulled
If we have been obliged to use troops to
keep settlers out of the Indian lands or
lands held by agreement for Indian use
then we may surely U3e troops if
necessary to drive off and seep
off cattle just as I have found
it necessary lately to employ
troops to tear down fences around the
public lands I am not fond of the use of
troops but when cattle are to go they
MOQPMV 7
WmMzwm I I
must go and while I hope the cattle
lease men will obey in good faith I shall
not hesitate to compel prompt obedience
The law of Congress must be carried
out

men arrested at Luling yesterday morn-
ing on a charge of robbing the train on

day night of last week when seen this
morning strenuously denied any knowl-
edge of the crime all claiming ability to
prove an alibi James Ussery is in a
separate cell Northacker the messen-
ger who was in the car when it was
robbed and who was badly beaten went
to the ail for the purpose of identifying
them if possible Three of them he could
not swear to When he visited Usserys
cell and saw its inmate he seemed to
know him He bad previously described
one of the men as tall and slender wear-
ing a wide white hat Ussery
filled the bill as far as
personal appearance was concerned

from his bed an article exactly answering
Northackers description As he put it
on and faced the messenger the latter re

ing it a profound secret for what pur-
pose is unknown He seems to be strictly
guarded from the public and especially
from reporters This makes the fifth
arrest in connection with last weeks do-
ings at McNeil He was ar-
rested by state authority
The question now is whether
he will be sent before the United States
court now in session at San Antonio
Some citizens here say it would be pref-
erable to let Uncle San take hold of him
because there is no monkey business in
the Federal courts but that the state
courts are nothing but monkey so far as
big crimes are concerned jilcrath did
come down late Saturday uight or rather

turned sommersaults in every direction
and amused the crowds greatly receiving
the good natured jeers of his companions

for fear of his injuring himself and thus
crippling the company in their drill con-
tests

Cincinnati Ohio May 2 > One of the
finest assemblages ever seen on the La
tonia course was present at the opening
of the meeting today This is accounted
for mainly by the fact that the Latonia
Derby was to be won and that Montrose
a Cincinnati horse was to contest for it
against Jim Gore whose gallant effort at
Louisville brought him the sympathy that
follows pluck even when the result is a
failure

Th
last and graat event of
the Latonia Derby was set for
515 pm Five minuses after that hour
the horses were at the post Ever since
the Loui57ille Derby was won by Mont-
rose owned in Cincinnati It has been
disloyal to maintain any name as lavorite
here except Montrose Still in places
where judgment gave place to senti-
ment there were expressions in
favor of Jim Gore the gallant
competitor of Montrose at Louisville
He appeared first on the track and had an
ovation He was ridden by L Jones
Though his forelegs were bandaged he
gave no sign of lameness Following him
came Montrose a handsome creature as
sprightly and hopeful as were his backers
who gave the horse a good sendoff
with cheers Lewis was his iockey
Poteen passed next in a slugsish fnanner
that did not awaken any enthusiasm Then
came Libretto unheralded son of Long
fellow lithe strong and graceful The
cheers which followed his appearance
showed that he was not without friends
