Office said to-day in reply to inquiries with
regard to the timber land frauds discover
ed in California, 81 have had knowledge
of these operations for some time and have
had agents out there making investiga-
tions. In consequence CT the reports re-
ceived from them 1 have suspended action

MIA, Oregon End Washington territories
and persons interested are not getting any
patents and they will not get any until 1
am satisfied as to the honesty of their
entries. In explanation of the nature
of the illegal operations Com missioner Nc
Fariand said congress, by special act pro-
vided for the sale to individuals of separ-
ate tracts of timber land in California
Oregon, and Washington territories at
$3.50 per acre. The fraud in these cases
consisted in the procurement by one per-
son OF large number of such tracts
through the cooperation of others who
purchased them only to transfer them to
him, in clear violation of the spirit of the
law. Commissioner McF arland also said
that frauds of similar character had been
discovered in connection with entries of
coal lands in Colorado, and that he now
had force of special agents at work there
and he intended to examine carefully every
entry of such land. The land officers in
Colorado have been directed to suspend &C.
ton on coal land entries until the results
of the examination are known.

lSt Louis Spectator
The terrible commissions of nature this
week in the Island of Java glow with a
lurid terror tat has not been before
known in authentic history, The tremen-
dous energy is so astounding that we al
most forget The unparalleled suffering of
the wretched 'ohabitants. A year ago a
book was pull he'd to which this terrible
event gives ST.. ling information. Igna-
thus Donnelly. atlantis, the Antedilu-
Wan World" res the story of buried
continent. T.. continent was Atlantis.
| It was situated # the coast of Africa. The
Azoresi ISLANDS are Its mountain tops
and the only patch Of it remaining above
the oceans surface. It was the home OF
| civilization, the place where men first
emerged from u savage state. From it the
shores of the Mediterranean, and North
and South America were ,seopled
and probably also Asia. Egypt was its
greatest colony. and the Egyptians are the
most characteristic representatives of its
people now extant. The story OF it's ex
tinction is graphically told from wha
science knews about volcanic action, ani
MIR. Donnelly has foreshadowed to almost
the minutest particulars, exactly what he'
happened ct Java, only instead of engulf
ing a continent the sea has swallowed
small part of one. That Atlantis perish
ed in just such CONFUSION as Java hal
had, only hundred fold greater, will b.
readily assented to by the reader of Mr.
Donnelly's book, and that this eonvulsiol
of fire and food lasting probably weeks
is the deluge of which we have biblica
account. There never was a more attrac
tive field for speculation opened, and sci
ence has now furnished us so many clew
to the history of prehistoric time that ,
writer Of vital force like Mr.. Donnelly
makes book more fascinating than an,
novel, and more startling than any book O
/ adventure. In small way Java has com
, pletely retold the story of Atlantis.

THE Philadelphia Press feels moved to
say the government is slowly shaking it
self together in Washington, but its pay
has followed it to the end of the land, al
though its work did not. As the Press is a
righteous Republican organ, it may be
that such remark is permissible, though
if uttered by Democratic paper it would
be characterized as rank heresy, if not
treason.

the President AYERS, with seeming pride,

THE GOVERNMENT FO0TS THE BILLS
Hon. VIM. Law renee, first Controller of
the United States Treasury says junketing
does not cost the government anything
and the question will not be raised over
any bills present ed TO him. Brother Law
renee it seems has no 'crickats eye" for
the cumming government official, but woe
unto the private person whose claims
must pass under his scrutiny. He can find
legal flaws as big as haystacks IN any such
matters, but when government officials of
the rank of the President 'and Cabinet
officers are concerned the Controller is as
blind as beetle and as deaf as post.
The scandal only becomes the greater
because of the attitude of this supposed
guardian against improper and unlawful
depletion of the public e1chequer.
The President is a leader in the ofense
of deserving his post of duty aud spending
weeks at time in vicious and unnecessary
absenteeism for his own personal pleas
ure. and IN scandsious carousing. Early
in the season he set out upon cruise in
q vessel of the war department, and the
Secretary Of the Navy accompanied him,
the cost of the pleasure trip being charged
ND to the treasury. For the last two
months the q. s. s. Dispatch has been held
at the service of the President and his
family. The vessel was fitted up IN a
needlessly costly manner by the Navy de-

In the election last year Buffalo and
Erie county, the Republican strong hold
of western New York, gave Gov. Cleve-
land majority of seven thousand. The
Buffalo Express, the ablest Republican
paper in that portion of the state now
says that Gov. Cleveland is far more pop
ular to day in Buffalo than he was at the
time of his election. This is proud fact
for the Governor, and an ugly one for the
Republicans who have burning desire to
redeem the state from the 100000 Demo
cratic majority of last year.

broke and was swerved towards the inside

feet. He was the leading horse under the
wire, but the drivers of Billy N and Gray
Dan claimed foul driving and the judges
not understanding the rules gave the heat
