4 GIGANTIC SPINDLE.
A Wholesale Speculation In Texas and Kan
sas Lands,

Wholesale Speculation In Texas and Kan
sas Lands.
The Journal of Commerce on the Goth
contained an account of the most gigantic
swindlc. On Tuesday there arrived in
Kansas City Col. John p. Coleman. Special
Detective Childs, and Lieut.. J. L. Lcccy,
with rcqusition from tho Governor Of
Texas for the arrest Of j. Il. Ham, Edward
stevens, and q. W. Miller Of Kansas City.
The arrests were made upon acquisitions
from the Governor Of Texas, for forging
land titles. The scheme originated with ].
Il. Ham and man named Thomas Tulli5.
living ut Austin, Texas. SOme thirteen
years ago Ham sold out hls saloon in Kun
sas City, since which time 1t has been gen
orally known that he was dabblingin Texas
lands. Stevens is credited with haviag first
gone into the affair innocently and against
the wishes Of his friends who cautioned
him against having any dealings with Hum
who it seems, first induced him to IRA lc his
narrow guagc and Wyandottc gas company
stock for 1900 acres of Texas lands
After this he seemed to have become in
fstuated with the moncy-making scheme,
and acted in full concert with the others,
and was known in Texas as Il Kansas City
lawyer, the better to enable them to carry
on their plans Of operations. Ham and his
conlldantes had made duplicate copies of
notarial and other seals and had obtained
the signitures of many officials. Ham even
went so far rs to purchase type and cause
to beprinted Kansas City blank forms and in
perfect copies of deeds necessary to his use,
The exact modus operandi OF obtaining
title to government lands is not exactly
known further than that the papers thereto
claiming to DO original patents from the
government ure forgerles. A large amount
Of land has been conveyed under many
aliases to various parties.
The attention of Gov. Hubbard, Of Texas,
being called to the matter about one year
ago, he took immediate steps to ferret out
the cause that led to the confusion. when,
to his surprise. as well as those associated
with him, a most gigantic swindle was un-
earthed in which the State of Texas and
the general government as.Wcll were deeply
interested. The authorities ut Washington
being informed of the state of affairs,
Special Agent Foster, Oh the part OF the
Department of Justice and Post ONCE De-
partment, was detailed to look the matter
up. Arriving in Kansas City about ono
year ago, he soon obtained n clue that has
since been closely followed, resulting in
the simultaneous arrest Of no less than
sixty different persons In different parts Of
the country connected with the gang.

10th, 1,793,772 bushels as against 1882, ,3i3
bushels for the week ending Oct Sd.
Visible Supply" increased from S,4SS,9i9
bushels Sept. 30 to 10,lS0,75S bushels Oct.
9th. As we anticipated some weeks ago,
Russia is pushing forward her wheat to
Baltic ports to secure English gold before
the winter sets in. Russian paper money
continuing to deprcciate rapidly and the
country in its present billigerent condition
demanding from its people every sacrifice
to carry on the war against the Turk. Brit
ish India promises to become a prominent
source Of wheat supply to English consum-
ers. Already at Calcutta 100000 tons or
nearly 81 million bushels Of wheat have
been contracted for delivery to English
buyers.
CoRN-In this cereal we note for the week
ending Oct. Oh, slight improvement in the
visible supply" which amounted to H.
3G2,429 bushels. A noticeable fuct in our
markets during the past two weeks which
we would call our shippers, attention to, is.
that while wheat advanced 6 TO &c Il bushcl
corn did not establish an advance of l3c n
bushcl.
Export ccaranccs for the week ending
Oct. 10th show IA reduction from the prcvi-
GUS week of 100000 bu.
Foreign markets are unchanged, while
advancing ocean and land frcights have an
ticipatcd any appreciation that might have
been established in sympathy with wheat.
Samples Of ear corn new crop are already
making their appearance in the markets
and the prospect Of an early liberal delivery
of the new crop to avoid expense of crib
bing, is depressing the values.
OATS AND RYE--ln these cereals, there is
nothing of change to note; values are II
shade lower: stocks are accommodating, and
trading decidedly in buyers favor.
