A LAND DECISION.
The Court Hoelds TkAt the Title Never
Passed Freas tie Indians.
Portland. Ore.. Feb. 11.-In the United
States district court to-day Judge Bel
linger handed down a decision in the
case of the California & Oregon Land
company vs. the government agents, seek.
ing to allot the lands on the Klamath
Indian reservation.
In this actioft the plaintiff corporation
soutght to restrain the agents from allot
ting the lands on the ground that it had
title to them by virtue of purchase from
the Oregon Central Military Road com
pany. The lands in dispute. comprising
about 110.000 acres, were a portion of the
grant of congress to the state of Oregon
for the construction of a military road
from Eugene City to the eastern boun
dary of the state. In 1M64 the state deeded
the land to the Oregon Central Military
Road company. which constructed the
frod. and the plaintiff in this action
claims to have acquired title by purchase
from the latter.
The case was presented to the court
on an application for a tempcrary in
junction restraining the defendants from
proceeding with the allotment until the
merits of the controversy are determined.
The court dented the application and this
virtually disposes of the matter, as the
allotting agents can now proceed with
their work without further interruption.
If the plaintiff has further recourse it is
against the government for the value of
the land that it claims title to.
In the treaty with the Indians the court
finds that a reservation was made for
the tract now known as the Klamath
reservation, and that title to this has
never passed from the Indians.

the people by rendering the well-known
piece. "A Hot Time in the Old Town To

During the reception the Dillon orches
tra, under the leadership of Professor t.
A. Sullivan. furnished delightful musl.
The Dillon ladies. costumed in their
best bonnets and gowns. turned out en
masse and for three hours the Hotel Met
len was crowded from basement to garret
with an assemblage of pleasure seekers
never before and never likely to again be
seen in Dillon in one body. Universal
praise and admiration for the elegant
furnishings for the hotel throughout were
heard from every lip. Refreshments of
a light nature were served to the guests
during the afternoon.
The Hotel Metlen is a three-story brick
building, including the basement, which
contains the tonsorial rooms, engine
rooms and store rooms. On the first floor
are found the public parlor, reception
room, bar, dining room, bath rooms. sam

mirth with his witty parries of the gov.

CONDITION OF TRADE.
Bun's iteview.
New York, Feb. 11.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade will say in its
Issue of to-morrow: Business is pushing
toward spring activity rather early.
Events which have controlled are good
buying of Iron by the largest makers,
the rise in cotton, with the strength in
goods. the great railway consolidations
and the Cuban insurrection. The latter,
with its possibilities, operates as a brake
on speculation, and foolishness of local
traders gave foreigners an opportunity
to buy stocks on balance, about 45.000
shares.

ported, are 18.6 per cent. better than last
year and 9.5 per cent. better than in 1897.
showing the best month in six years at
least, and February returns thus far are
promising.
The output of pig Iron in February was
22i9,113 tons weekly, the largest in the his
tor. of the business, but the reported
buying of 130,000 tons of Bessemer iron by
the Carnegie company and 100.000 tons by
ancther of the largest steel concerns.
nevertheless means decision by the ablest
manufacturers that the unprecedented
output of pig iron will soon prove too
small for the growing demand for tin
ished products. The Illinois Steel com
pany has contracted for a million tons
of Bessemer ore, and producers of other
ranges count upon an advance in priccs.
Bessemer pig rose to $10.15 and grey forge
to $9 at Pittsburg. with finished products
generally stronger.
Retail contracts already cover, it is
said, more than last year's production,
the railroads buying more than usual.
But contracts for cars, wagons. etc.. from
the farmers are heavy at the West.
Structural contracts there are numerous
and at the East, with 50.000 tons estimated
for New York buildings alone this year,
while plate and sheet contracts for the
season are unprecedented. .1anu arN was

The rise in cotton of 7-t ft the week
results in part from tatter ptosptc-ts for
manufacture here and air, ad onl- in pier t.
The movement shows no , h.1. of -on

For the better grade of wool goods :,
advance averaging 1:.50 per cent. from
last year Is readily maintained. The opt.
ing of works idle for a ye.ar in spite of
the heavy production already assured. is
a striking feature in this, as in the iron
and other industraes, and impites heavier
demands for produate than are now 0get
by the uapiecedeaited output.

I'adstreel' Rteport.
New York. Feb. 11.-Brad street's to.
morrow will say: A number of favorable
circumstances and events present them
selves this week. Perhaps the most nota
ble of these are the renewed activity and
confidence In the Iron and steel market,
accompanied by prompt, and even rapid,
advances In several grades of pig Iron
and steel and the advance In the price of
raw cotton, long predicted but unrealised
until the present week. What might be
regarded as a minor feature in the busli
ness situation, though at the same time
containing much that is hopeful to the
Interest Involved, is a general improve
ment in distributive trade and demand in
the Central West and the South, . where
spring trade Is reported opening in good
shape. Less favorable features of the
week are the slowness of the spring trade
In dry goods in New York and other East
ern centers, except Boston, and the mild
weather in the Northwest, rendering it
likely that retailers' stocks carried over
will be larger than earlier expected. Al
though the advance In cotton has been
claimed to be too rapid, it has undoubted
ly imparted a more cheerful tone to the
Southern business situation, and with the
advance in Iron and steel has done much
to add to the confidence with which the
trade outlook for 1888 is regarded.
Business failures continue to make fa
vorable comparisons with previous weeks
and years, the total for the week just
ended being 218 against 295 last week. 301
In the corresponding week of 1897. 381 in
this week of 1896, 296 in 1695 and 288 in
1894.
Canadian failures for the weeK number
51 against 42 last week, but compared
with 54 in this week a year ago and 70 In
the corresponding week of 1896.
Wheat exports fall slightly below last
week's reduced total, aggregating for the
week 3,419,504 bushels, against 3,635.000
bushels last week. 2,051,000 bushels in the
corresponding week of 1897. 2,718,000 bush
els in 1896, 2,572.000 bushels in 1895 and
2.005,000 bushels in 1894.
Corn exports show a gain amounting to
4,508.000 bushels, against 4.101,000 bushels
last week. 4.169,000 bushels in this week
a year ago, 3,148,000 bushels in 1896 and
526,000 bushels in 1895.
Bank clearings continue to point to an
immense business doing in the country
at large in a total aggregating for the
week, $1,343,000.000, less than 2 per cent.
smaller than last week, 92 per cent. larger
than the corresponding week Irst year, 52
per cent. larger than thir week in 1896,
74 per cent. larger than 1895. 82 per cent.
larger than in 1894 and 6.3 per cent. larger
than this week in 1892.
Finaneial Review.
New York. Feb. 11.-Bradstreetls Finan
cial Review to-morrow will say: After a
moderate depression on the Cuban devel
opments early in the week, the stock mar
ket regained its bullish tone and showed
an advancing tendency. More or less liqui
dation of long stocks was caused by the
renewal of Cuban agitation in the senate
and the incidents connected with the
resignation of the Spanish minister at
Washington, and an unsettled feeling was
prevalent. At the same time the market
seemed to be ripe for such a movement,
large amounts of stocks having passed
into weak hands, leaving the market in
a condition in which even a slight reac
tion would have a beneticial effect. An
other circumstance of some importance,
which had a rather unsettling effect, was
the attitude of the administration in re
gard to the sale of the Kansas Pacific
property and the announcement that the
attorney general, failing in all other
means of inducing the Union Pacific reor
ganization committee to raise the bid to
the full amount of the treasury claims,
the government would pay the first mort
gage, and as the owners of the 2 per cent.
prior liens ask for indefinite postpone
ment of the sale and the appointment of
a receiver in its own interest.
This caused selling of the various Un
ion Pacific securities, though the firm
ness of the Kansas Pacific consolidated
bond was noticeable, and later on the en
tire group gained strength on the be
lief that a compromise would be effected.
The announcement of the terms of the
New York Central-Lake Shore exchange
of securities also had a tendency, not un
tsual in such cases. to cause selling of the
speculative holdings, although the mark
ed strength of the other Vanderbilt
stocks, particularly Michigan Central.
and the prominence given to reports about
an exchange of that company's stock for
New York Central security had a good
effect on the market at large.
Sharp advances in Northwestern and
Omaha were also made on the revived re
port that those companies would be con
solidated and that perhaps the preferred
stock of the former would be retired with
a bond issue. Even in the face of a de
clining market on Tuesday and Wednes
day the strength of Metropolitan Trac
tion was a feature, its advances being of
the extraordinary kind. and were only
accounted for by the rumors of a divi
dend. Commission houses were sellers in
the early part of the week, but the buy
ing from this source and by professionals
at the declines was large. and apart from
the rather aggressive bear selling at times
the market exhibited no extreme pressure,
and in the main preserved its strong un
dertone. even while the Cuban developt
ments and the De Iome incident were re
garded as liable to take a serious aspect.

hard work, the national assembly of the
League of American Wheelmen to-night
finally adjourned after one of the most
notable seusions ever held by that body.
The all important question of local op
tion in the matter of Sundayracing was
again defeated, an amendment provid
ing that state divisions be granted the
right to determine for themselves
whether or not Sunday blyale races
should be permitted being voted down
by but six votes. President Potter voted
for the amendment.
The divisions voting solidly in favor
of the amendment were: District of Co
lumbia, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Ken
tucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mis
souri, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee.
The divisions unanimously against the
amendment were: Colorado, Connecti
cut, Delaware, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas,
Wisconsin. Maryland cast 1 vote for,
6 against; Michigan, 6 for, 2 against;
New York, 62 for, 8 against; Pennsyl
vania, 6 for, 57 against; Rhode Island, 1
for, 6 against.
Thirty-two other amendments were
disposed of during the day in various
ways. Some were indefinitely postponed
or withdrawn, while four were defeated.
Among the most important of those
adopted are the following: "Article 3,
of the constitution, a new section in
serted to read: No. 9-No professional
shall be eligible to entry in any open
race run under the rules of the League
of American Wheelmen unless he s
registered with the racing board."
Article 3, section 8 (L.) substitute;
Contestants at meets closed to a college
or to any number of colleges forming .in
Intercollegiate meet, may for those
meets be only governed by the amateur
rules of the intercollegiate associatlan
or amateur athletes of America.
Article V., section 3, was amended
by striking out the word "wheelmen."
Other amendments adopted provided
for the payment of $2,500 a year as
compensation to Chairman Mott of the
national racing board, and declaring
that hereafter no sanctions would be
given for any six-day continuous races
unless the riders be compelled to take
at least two hours' rest out of every
twenty-four.
Resolutions were adopted fixing the
registration of the professionals at $2
per year, calling on the national gov
ernment to push the demand on the
Turkish government for the prompt
payment of $40,000 indemnity to the
mother of Frank E. Lens, the Pitts
burg member of the L. A. W. who was
murdered in Turkish territory while on
a tour of the world; favoring the pas
sage by congress of the bill introduced
by Representative Davies of California
for the appointment of a commission
to view the roads in the national for
est reserve of Yosemite valley in Cali
fornia, and report to the next seqslon
of congress the best location for a road
through that reservation.
R. C. Botier of Milwaukee introduced
the following resolution, which was
warmly endorsed by prominent men in
the league and finally adopted: "Re
solved, That the executive committee
of the L. A. W. be instructed to inves
tigate the feasibility of turning over
to some other organization or body the
control of racing and to report its re
sults at the next national assembly."
This concluded the work of the as
sembly, which adjourned sine die.

Finaneier's Review.
New York, Feb. 11.-The Financier says:
The statement of the associated banks of
New York city for the five days ended
Feb. 11 (Saturday being a holiday), i. a
favorable exhibit, both from a banking
and commercial standpoint. Loans show
an expansion of 15.970,600. the increases
originating apparently with two of the
larger banks; the National City and the
National Park, whpse combined totals
account for t!b change over the preceding
week. The most interesting feature of
the statement, however, is the lose of
Cash reported.
The decrease for the week was $1,130,500,
which is the first shrinkage since the
enormous inward flow which marked the
end of December and the first week of
January. At the beginning of this year
the reserve of the banks was $15.800.000. It
is now said to be $32,487.050, an increase of
more than 316,627,000. In the same period
loans have expanded more than 132,000.000
and deposits $17,700,000. This, while the
loan increase has been far above the nor
mal, it was Impossible to make use of
all the money going into the banks.
This review assumes that the increases
were due to legitimate business opera
tions, but the many special transactions
growing out of the transactions between
the banks and the treasury are a factor
that make a correct deduction impossible.
At any rate. now that the banks seem
to have reached the limit of cash acces
sions, the money market will probably
recover somewhat from the demoralisa
tion which has marked its course thus
far during 1899.
If the past is of value in comparison it
may be recalled that for the same week
and the previous one in 1987 the banks
reduced their reserve $85.00,000 and lost
in cash $6.300.000. This year the loss in
reserve for the same period has been only
a little in excess of $3,100,000. In 1897 the
first week in March seems to mark the
high period of the bank reserves. After
that and until well into the summer a
stationary plane was reached. If the
same thing is repeated this year the mon
ey market will probably maintain a level
somewhere near the present figures. but
it is true that bankers are expecting a
firm market within the next O0 days.
A ('lever Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can try
it who has Lame Back and Weak Kid

mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as a
stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys. is a
