In compliance with q resolution Of the
House, the President communicated to that
body the report Of the Attorney General show
ing the amount expended towsrdthe defense Of

from this document that an incredible number
Of fraudulent claims to land in California had
been fabricated and sustained BY q most un-
blrshng perjury. Many Of them had been ap-
proved by the Board Of Land Commissioners
and by the District Courts of California. No
lees than twenty five appeals 10 these cases
were here decided by the Supreme Court in
favor Of the Government at the last term. The
amount involved was not less than sloO, 900.
900. One claim was for $500 svuare miles Of
land another for $50 square miles and the
famous Sautillan claim was for a part OF the
city Of San Francisco. worth about $40 900, :
600. The Attorney General pays high COM

SHOCKING CALAMITY-BURNING OF Two CHILDREN
A shocking calamity occurred on Friday afternoon
last, on the farm of John Dralle, in the town of
Bloomingdale, Du Page county.
1t appears that Mrs. Dralle went to put up some
bars in the fence, and drive the cattle out of the
field, leaving several children about the house-two,
aged four and six years, were in the grain-house
playing. When the mother returned, the sheds and
grain-house were fire. and every means to rescue
the unfortunate ones from destruction cut off. The
children were burned to cinders. The little that
manned of them was found in the corner farthest
from the door. All the hay and some stock, togeth-
er with three hundred bushels of wheat, and the
out buildings, all destroyed. The wind was hard
from the South, or else the dwelling house would
have been burned also. The father of the children
in Chicago with load of grain, and is ignorant
of the loss of his children The of the fire is
unknown, and will not probably be found out; sur
mise is at fault-Chicago Press and Tribute Sept
