Thomas Cooper, land commissioner of the Northern Pacific, says that the fault lies with the interior department and results from the delay of the de- partment inexaminIng these lands and issuing patents. Mr. Cooper submitted to Secretary Lane an elaborate statement showing that there are 2,763,224 acres of the company, land grant ready for the issuance of patents. These lands lie in the following states: Oregon. 2640 acres; Washington, 295,345 acres; Ida- ho, 86,842 acres; Montana, 2,220,177 acres; Wyoming, 9040 acres; North Dakota, 47,148 acres; Minnesota, 14,- 636 acres; Wisconsin, 2540 acres; to- tal, 2,753,224 acres. Issues Patents Slowly. Mr. Cooper said that in the 20 months from July 1, 1911, to March 31, 1913, there had been patented to the railroad company only 70,000 acres, at which rate it would be 66 years be- fore patents would be issued to the 2,760,000 acres now ready for patent; also, in addition to the 2,750,000 acres, the company estimated that at least 1,000,000 acres now surveyed Would be ready for patent within a year. Retards Development, According to Mr. Cooper this delay retards the settlement and develop ment of the country, because the un- certainty of the title prevents the rail- road from disposing of It. lands. As the company is not required to pay taxes upon indemnity lands until patent is Issued. it is escaping pay: went hi 1,195,735 acres of indemnity lands, the annual tax on which, it is estimated, would amount to from $100,- 000 to $150,000. Lends within the place limits, being taxable from time of survey, the com- pany, to protect Itself, is obliged to pay taxes on 1,557,489 acres of place lands, to some of which It may never receive title. SENSATIONAL SCENE AT A FUNERAL Baby In Casket Sits Up and its Grand- mother Drops Dead, Butte, Cal.-SlienUy bowed about the little casket of her 3 -year-old son Mrs. J. R. Burney and relatives of this city were listening to the funeral set , Alma whoa there was a slight move- ment within the coffin. Slowly the form of the baby, clad In its white shroud, toile to a sitting Posture and gazed about the room. The minister ceased his solemn words and the little boy, a moment before a seeming corpse, looked Into the eyes of Mrs. L. P. Smith, his grand- mother, 61 years old. Shocked at the sight the aged grand mother fell back In her chair dead. As the eyes of the others turned to the woman as she expired the child sank back into the casket. Its mother Immediately grasped it In her arms. A physician wee summoned, but the aged woman was dead and the little boy was dying. Death came finally to the child a few hours later. The baby whose name was Charles Payne Burney, had apparently been dead two days at the time of the funeral.

The Financier aye: Following the 1112Z01111 statement of April 12 the New Fork clearing house banks made an eitheptIonally favorable exhibit for the week ended April 19. It had been estimated that the banks had gained during the last sig. days something like $6,000,000 as a result of the interior movement, but the statement Saturday showed an in- crease In cash of only 4173,000. However, since leans decreased 610,- 780,000 and net Mignalta fell $6,588,000, thus lessening reemys requirements, the week's operalifilins resulted in an expansion of $601,400 ID reserves, bringing the priment surplus above the 25 per cent 'nobelium to $19,085,- 850, or about on &level with the sur- plus for the sates period one year ago. Money continued Co now ta New York, and with the lowering of the Bank of England rates this week the outlook is that the banks for the time being face a position where the sup- ply of funds will outrun the demand. • • • Dun's review says. While the principal industries and trade are still expertencing some abatement of activity as a result of the recent .floods In the west and the conservatism produced by the pending tariff readjustment there is apparent- ly no fundamental or permanent change in the situation. The reduction in the sank of Magiand rate of dis- count to 4% per cent, the financial improvement in Germany and the easi- er tendency of nioney In our own markets are among the most favorable developments of the week. These factors ascount for the feel- ing of confidence which generally Pre - vails In mercanUlp circles in spite of the reduction in darrent consumptive demands. This reaction reveals itself in the statistics of bank exchanges, the volume of which this week do creased 9.1 per (Sent from last year, though the total was 22.3 per cent higher than in lap Railroad / gross earnings declined-11.3 per cent In the first week of Aprfl,, due mainly to the reduced traffic ot the Southern and other roads affected by the floods. The steel trade bac not yet fully re - covered from the effects of the flood disaster and the declining price tend- ency in pig iron lemurs prononaced. Copper Is firmer. In the dry goods trade purchases for current needs are large, but there is little anticipation of future requirements. Foreign commerce maintains not so large proportions and at the Oft of New York In the latest week sure - gates $40,088,227, against $39,554,445 in 11112, and $28,192,099 in 1911. Failures this week in the United States as reported by R. C. Dun A Co. are 295, against 319 last year. Failures in Canada !lumber 27. • • • Bradstreet's says: Better weather, excellent wheat crop reports, renewed activity by farniers, resumption of operations In the flooded districts of the Central West and • more reassur- ing outlook in the lower Mississippi valley are the leading favorable feat- ures of the week. Over against this must be set the increased prominence of tariff discussion, particularly as re - garde the textile Indliatties in the east- ern states, and the oontinuance of a degree of stringency in the money moirkeldiinees of 'Op - tug both at home and abroad. On balance the situation presents a fairly favorable position because of displace- ment of cold, wet weather by sunshine and warmth has made for more active retail trade at most points. Jobbing trade for Immediate spring and sum- mer months is still fairly active, and the arrival of seasonable weather makes for enlargement of activities in a myriad of lines connected with pm duction and consumption. Even in lines supposed likely to be vitally af- fected by tariff changes the feeling Is that It is best to have the matter over and done with, and there is rather lees than the suet fear of foreign dumping In domestic markets, partly because of active trade In Europe. The stock market sentiment Is un- aeUled by the developments In the in- vestment situation. The offering of an issue of 4% per cent St Paul railway bonds at below par and the merely partial filling of the subscription are deemed indicative of the restricted de- mand for such securities. Business failures for the week end- ing April 17 were 1190, which compare with 250 In the like week of 1912. There were 21 failures In Canada. Wheat. Including lour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending April 17 aggregated 3,- 5118,592 bushels, avast 1,843,789 bush- els this week last year.

Mistative Curley of Massachusetts NEW KING OFALBANIA ESSAD PASHA, HERO OF BATTLE AT SCUTARI, NAMES HIMSELF AS KING. IS MARCHING NOW 10 THE INTERIOR Powers Scent Plot -Think Surrender of the Great Fortress But Part of Scheme -Was it Pact With King Nicholas? Cettinje Essad Pasha, the hero of Scutari, who had a picturesque and ad- venturous career, made a dramatic move Monday by proclaimluehimself king of Albania, and Is said to be marching into the interior of Albania with 40,000 men. He was received with enthusiasm at Alessi() and is pro- ceeding to Tirana to be proclaimed and take possession. Eased Pasha is an Albanian chief- tain of the type which earned for the Albanians a reputation for barbaric simplicity approaching savagery. He was always opposed to the Young Turks' repressive measures In Albania. In Vienna and Peris his surrender of Scutari is regarded as having been an arranged matter with King Nicholas, who approved his plan to proclaim himself independent prince of Albania. Surrender May Have Been Ruse. The whole scene of the alleged storming of Scutari, surrendering of the town to the Moutenegrins and the marching out of Eased Pasha's arm). with their arms Is now regarded as a coup d'tbeatre to deceive Europe. Es - sad is said to have Joined Djavid Pasha's army of 9000 men, and If he has the support of Hervis and Monte- negro it will be a severe blow for Aus- tria.

CURE FOR TYPHOID Tests in Army and Navy Boar Out Fact. Inoculation with sterilised typhoid cultures to prevent infection has Proved so effective that many doctors now believe that typhoid fever Can be ptierented as easily as smallpox. The department of health of New York City recently announced that inocula- tion against typhoid fever has passed the experimental stage, and has proved to be a sound prophylactic measure. The department has authorised the health Inspectors to inoculate persons, and it also provides free cultures to physicians for their own use. In the five years from 1907 to 1911, the aver- age number of cases of typhoid fever In the I/tilted Stites navy was 201 The number of deaths averaged thir- teen. In January, 1911, inoculation was made complusory. The reports for the first three-quarters of the year are significant. In the first quarter there were twenty-five Ca.4416 of ty- phoid; in the second, eight; and in the third, six. During the whole of this period there was only one death. Moreover, DO one who was Inoculated with anti -typhoid serum contracted the disease. Of the 62,000 person, who were Inoculated, only a few suffered any inconvenience; there were no dia- estrous results -Youths' Companion.

IMPORTATION OF CATTLE INCREASING EACH YEAR Statistics Show That During Past Mx Years Number of Cattle Decreased 16 Million in United Stets*. The decrease in the meat supply available for exportaUon Is sharply illustrated by the February export Moires just compiled by the statisU- cal division of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. They show tile number of cattle exported in the eight mouth* ended with February, 1o13, but 12,656 head against 270,919 head lu the corresponding months of 11107, and the quantity of fresh beef exported but 4,709,047 pounds, against 175,506,642 pounds in the correspond' lug months of 11/07. That this short- age In the exportation Is due, 111 part at least, to an actual reduction in the uumber of cattle in the United States Is evidenced by the fact that the to- tal number of cattle on farms, accord- ing to figures of the department of agriculture, was on January 1, 1913. but 56,527,000, against 72,534,000 On January 1, 1907. Still another evidence of the de- mand in the United States for an in- crease in Its cattle supply Is found In the figures of the Department of COM- merae, which show an enormous in- crease in the hnportation of cattle, the number importation of cattle, the number imported Into the United States in the eight months ended with February, 1933, being 222,000 head. against 12,500 head in the correspond- ing month, of 1907. Thus, while the number of cattle on Noma bas fallen from 72,500,000 to 56,500.0Q0 in the six-year period In question, the num- ber exported has fallen from 370,000 head to 13,000, the quantity of fresh beef exported has fallen from 176.- 000,00 pounds to 4,750,000 pounds and the number of catUe imported has in- creased from 12,500 head to 123,000 head, all of these figures of imports and exports being for the eight months' period ended with February of the years named.

NEW TELEGRAPH IDEA RECENT DEMONSTRATION IN U. S. . SHOWS HOW 40,000 WORDS AN HOUR CAN BE SENT. ANTOINE PEAK IS THE MORI Has Been Successfully Tested in Ger- many and France -A Remarkable Feature Is Recording Message Directly in Writing. The first demonstration In this country of the Pollak-Virag rapid tele- graph system, by which 40,000 words an hour can be dispatched, was given recently by Antoine Pollak, the in- ventor. The systehi has been success- fully tested in Germany and France and will be demonstrated next for the benefit of the English government. The most remarkable feature of the Invention Is that the message, sent at such great speed, Is recorded directly in writing as with the hand at the receiving end. The apparatus consists of a perforat- ing machine, in some respects similar to • typewriter, for the making of perforated tape, an automatic trans- mitter and a receiver. The message Is first transferred to the tape and as the machine for this operation id separate from the other apparatus • dosen or more operators may aid in order to facilitate this part of the work. This perforated tape Is then placed on the automatic transmitter which sends the message at lightning speed over the wires to be received miles away where it is transferred In- to manuscript form again by the re- ceiving apparatus. The receiver utilises the electric currents in making them act on mem- branes which In tarn act on a mirror. The mirror reflects the light from an electric lamp and projects a spot light on a band of photographic paper. As the mirror rests on a fixed point one of the membranes gives It a vertical motion and the other a horizontal mo- tion. By combining the two modems the reflected light writs,.
