STORIES OF CORRUPTION,
Told at the Capital-A Public Scandal
Crops Out.


WASHINGTON, Feb. "a public scan.
dal of formidable dimensions has crop
ped out and made congressional inYes-
tigatiOn necessary. What depths OF cor
ruptiOn 1t may reveal in Republican ad-
ministratiOn remains to be seen, but Ii
Is bad enough on the surface. The facts
that have come out are these: A treaty
between Mexico and the United States
to reopen the notorious We'll and La
Abra claims is now before the Senate.
These two claims were part of number
which were decided by the Mexican
Claims Commission under the treaty Of
1868. Before that Commission were pre-
sented claims Of American to the prOdi-
giOus amount of $475, 100000. The Com
mission, after hearing evidence, award
ed the claimants in all 81, 600, 900, or less
than l per cent Of the total claims.
These claims are for cotton alleged to
have been seized by the Mexican govern
ment, and mine that was seized by the
same authority, both cotton and mine
belonging to American citizens. It ap-
pears these claims were tRumped up and
supported by the most shameless fraud
and forgery. But they came before Con-
gress, and the 100000 was awarded.
That was in 1873, during Hayes's ad-
ministratiOn. Secretary EVarts refused
to certify the claim, but while he was
away it was certified by Assistant Sec
retary John Hay, and paid. Now, here
is where the trouble begins. 1t seems
that Colonel Hay was unwilling to pay
the claim in the absence of his superior,
but was ordered to pay 1t by Mr.. Hayes,
and that Hayes gave the order to Con-
gresham Tom Young of Ohio, who act
ed as counsel for the claimants In vio-
latiOn of the statute, which forbids any
from M anfinD DO loF
ter of Hayes, also letter Of Hayes's to
Young, and YOung's receipt for 90, ,285-
O8 as fee for his service In engineering
the job, have been produced and pub
lished. The affair has very ugly look.
So far as Young is concerned it will no
doubt result in his expulsion from the
House. But there are darker rumora
that there is back Of this story Of fraud
and corruption before which the Credit
MObilier scandal will seem insignificant
and will blast the regulations Of sew
eral public men.

children are seriously ill-the eldest

The dog industry appears to be one Of
the most important In Indiana. During
last year 1900 were legally executed

adding over 100000 to the school fund
and increasing the sheep fund 25 per cent.

safe business is farming.

One day last week President Arthur
performed duty as watchman at the
Treasury Department. He called at the
west door about 2 o'clock. The watch
man did not recognize him and was
about to inform him that the Depart
ment was closed to visitors, when the
President remarked that he would like
to have the messenger see II Secretary
FOlger was in his Office. Still in ignO-
rance Of the identity Of his visitor, but
believing him to be some high official,
the messenger volunteered to go to the
Secretary's Office II the stranger would
stand watch for him at the door and see
that no one got in while he was gone
up stairs. The President complied and
took the watchman's station. The watch
man soon returned with the information
that the Secretary had gone to. Colonel
