Boston this afternoon with the forger
Dewey, alias Halpert. Before leav-

counsel to compromise the amount
claimed by the banks Of Montreal
and Boston for $4,000, but was in
formed by the police that inspectors
Hanscsm and SKelton, to whom the
proposition has been submitted, could
not entertain it. The law would have
to take it's course. Information has
been received that the payment OF
the drafts drawn by Dewey on Berlin
has been stopped, and as money which
was deposited here for their purchase
had been attached, the probabilities
are that the full amount obtained by
Dewey On his forged bills of lading g

Star publishes an interview with u.

gard to the investigation now being
made by that officer into the fraudu-

The District Attorney says: "a
large number Of attorneys have en-
gagged in the fraudulent practice, and
he has received hundreds OF letters
since the publication Of his commu-
nication to Secretary Teller contain
ing specific complaints OF attempted
frauds Oh the part of firms in
the pension business in this city. He
estimated soldiers and their relations
have been defrauded of millions of
dollars through the fraudulent prac-
tices of these attorneys, and expresses
his intention of bringing the matter
to the attention of the grand jury.
Col. Corkhill renews his request to
all soldiers or others having copies
of deceptive circulars from agents
in this city or knowledge of any
fraudulent transactions on their part
to mail him information upon the sub
ject in order that he may bring the
guilty party to justice.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.-Respect-
ing the ssiZure reported yesterday of
1900 unstamped Chinese letters
brought over on the steamer Toxic.
further investigation to-day by the
postal authorities goes to show that
the number of letters sent from here
to China through the mails have been
largely on the decrease. The assump-
tion is that similar frauds has been
practiced by the Chinese with letters
on outgoing steamers as on incoming
vessels. 1t is estimated that the gov
ernment loses about $3.50 on every
Chinese mail from this port.
The Buz!etin this evening publishes
a tabulated statement showing the
increase in the number of Chinese
arriving provided with Chinese Gov
ernment traders" certificates, enti-
tling them to land in the United States.

markable echo on the right wall and
farther on we passed the DEVILS Cor
raj, a deeps gorge that makes back
from the river. Above this we reach
the rapids and are obliged to tie up
our little boat and complete our Jour-
ney on a very irregular and rocky
trail. There was among the party
gentleman from Iowa, the fati.er of
cur hostess, seveniy-tive years Of age,
and when we remarked the facility
with which he clambered over the
rocks he replied that the invigorating
air of the country had rejuvenated
him and made him feel like riding

a group of Cinnamon crevicing in
the rocks ON the shore for the pre-
cious gold and passed their dug-out
habitations near by.
The Twin Falls, 100 feet in height,
are wonderfully grand, but have less
variety of form and feature than the
lower ones. The river is divided by
large island, and that section Oh
the north side approaches the brink
in series of cascades, and the per-
pendicular descent is less than that
of the south section, where the chan
mel is very narrow and deep and the
current breaks over with awful
force. The surrounding features are
similar to those below-the very pic
ture Of fdesolation. Look where you

perpendicular basaltic walls, laid up
apparently with architectural design

/. City, Florida, in communication to
| Mr.. Joseph A. Hyde. cashier of the
First National bank, says: "My inn
pressions of Florida are so far favor
able. think have found a coun-
try where can do better and have
a nicer home than anywhere I have
been before. 1t is warm: but not sui
Try or oppressive. We sleep well but
do not need any four point blankets,
sheet and a coverlet being sufficieat
for US. By referring to the map you
will see that this place is in the
southern part of Orange county, the
present terminus of the South Flori-
da railroad. 1 bought to-day twenty
acres of partially improved land one
and one-half miles from here for
which I payeG $500. Land is worth
in this vicinity from $40 to
500 per acre according to the loca-
ton and amount Of improvements.
Unimproved land that is desirable to
have is worth from $40 to $40 close to
town. Four miles or over out of
town it can be had for $1.25 to $3.50.
I chose this locality because the land
suited me, being situated on lake
Tohopetaliji the head of navigation
through the Kisslmmee river and Is
surrounded by fine orange country,
[ also think it will be an impOr-
tant railroad point. The S. +. R. r.
is now completed from Sanford to
this place and will be open from here
to Tampa sometime this winter.
TRANSPORTATION is serious considera-
ton, horses being very high, the roads
sandy and heavy, and hay and grain
dear. Hay is retailing for $1.75 per
hundred and corn 81 per bushel. The
soil to look at is sandy and needs to
be fertilized, but it is an undeniable
fact that when properly worked it
produces things abundantly, more
particularly semi-tropical fruits. An
orange grove is certainly very de-
sirable piece of property for it will
net its owners at present anyway

Lemons, pine-apples, and guavas are
as good if not better still. bringing
quicker returns. Pine-apples north
of here have been protected in the
winter, but here and south of here
no protection is needed. have seen
nothing of the Incidence l heard OF
before came here, excepting among
the natives or "crackers" rs they
call them. Between this place and
Sanford are numerous homes
as finely fixed as can
be desired. The hired labor
seems to be principally Danes, re-
me good deal of Warm
Springs, in Deer Lodge Valley. La
Dor in the hotels is nearly all per-
formed by negroes. Florida is we'll
with hotels. This town, l
do not think, has more than five
or six hundred inhabitants, yet it has
three large hotels and numerous
small ores. The one we are staying
in now has sixty bedrooms, yet they
saw that in the winter season hotel
accommodations are not nearly equal
to the demand"
