ton met yesterday at II o'clock at the toiice Of
Commissioner Ureen. No. 2l4 Broadway. President
Dorsheimer Secretary Robb and Mr.. Green were
present. The Attorney letter to Secretary
Robb IN response to the question which arose ut the
last meeting regarding the proposed map OF the
region Included in tho reservation was read. The
Attorney General decided that the Commissioners
ought to pay for the map from the Standing Fund
The secretary then read several letters from dier-
emit engineers, proposing TO make the map at esti-
mates ranging from $500 TO s. 500. The different
estimates were discussed at length, but moth
ing was definitely decided and no estimate was ac-
copied.
A discussion then arose between Mr.. Green and
President Dorshcmer regarding the land selected
m the original resolutions. Mr. Dorshelmcr finally
offered a resolution, which, with an amendment,
was passed Ii requested the State Engineer to pro-
coed with the making OF q map OF the lands STU
stcd at Niagara Falls called for by former resou
ton of the Board and stated THAT the necessary ex
penses of making such map, which the Controller
Of should decided to be payable out OF the
funds of the Commission would be paid as the ser
vices were incurred subject hOwevor,to the audit Of
the Board. The total expenditure authorized Is not
to exceed 81 900. The final clause was an amend
mcnt offered by Mr.. Robb. AS the estimates of the
different engineers proposing to make the map
ranged from $500 to 81 $780, the secretary thought
that tho Commissioners were not justified in cx-
pending more than 81 900.

THE FROZEN NORTH.
Discovery OF n Anrge River Reported by
Capt. Healey of she COrwin.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Capt. Hesley, of the
revenue steamer Oorwin, has submitted his re-
port to the chief of the revenue marine, Civ.
ing the particulars of the discovery of large
river in the Arctic regions hitherto unknown,
save to the natives. Ensign Storey and two
men, in small boat, were sent from Hatham
Inlet, July 23d, and under the guidance of a
native, the party proceeded % miles along the
Northeastern shore of Hatham Inlet. Here
they struck the mouth of another river of con-.
siderable size, which the natives said was one
of the outlets of a larger river. Descending
this branch in Southessterly direction for
two days, they struck the main stream, which
proved to be a river three-quarters of mile
wide, with nowhere less than 2 IL fathoms of
water, and at times fathoms. The party as
cended this river for a distance of 80 miles
from its mouth. icy found the banks steep
and thickly timbS with birch. alder and
spruce; some of the trees being Of height OF
forty feet and twelve inches in diameter at the
base. Back from the banks the underground
formed an impossible jungle. The current
was strong at its bends, reaching rate of two
knots an hour. The natives reported that the
river held depth of not less than two faith
oms. and width of half mile flor 800 miles
beyond where Storey turned back.
1t was further stated by the natives that by
making small portage near the head of the
river, they could reach another stream fowl ng
Northward into the Polar Sea- Storey having
zone az far az his time peTmitted, retraced his
steps 10 th9 mouth OF the main StioalI, aliii
with two other branches forms the delta on the
North side of Hatham Inlet. Everywhere the
natives were kind, harmless and hospitable,
many evidently having never seen white
man before. Tha heat was intense, the vege-
tation rank, and the natives scantily clad.
Capt Healy says: "Thus far on the cruise
nothing was seen to show that either liquor
or breech-loading arms had been landed on the
American side by traders or others, while quite
the reverse is the case on the Siberian shores"

PINE LAND FRAUDS.
Indictments Found Against Two of the
a Chief Operators

Indictments Found Against Two of the
q. Chief Operators.
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 15.-Last night the
United States grand jury brought in two in
dictments in the Duluth pine land cases that
caused SO much excitement in this State last
August. True bills were found against Fl. L.
Gordon, Minneapolis millionaire, poet and
politician, and A K. Loyejoy of Duluth, who
hired 27 Norwegians to go into the woods
north of Duluth and take up 44S0 acres of pine
land, worth $40 an acre, with the understand
ing thai they should assign the titles when
secured, to Gordon and Lovejoy. The editor
of the Duluth Tribune, R. c. Mitchell, a poll
tician of considerable note and the newly APP
pointed register of the Duluth land Office, was
arrested, but the jury acquitted him unani-
mously Lovejoy was originally government
witness and endeayored, after filing his atfida-
Wit against Gordon, to sell his evidence to him
for $4,000. He did this in room where Cor
don had secroted three witnesses. Thea he
went before the grand jury and committed fiat
perjury. The grand jury was thoroughly well
posted on his movements and attempts to
treat with Gordon, and with the facts before
them could not do otherwise than indict him.
Subsequent to the indictment of Gordon for
conspiracy to defraud the United States. he
had admitted his own part in this conspiracy
and had accepted the offer of immunity
through ex-Gov. Marshall, the government in
speetor, it he would tell all he knew, and then
tried to sell out the government, which had
promised him immunity. As to Mr.. Mitch ell,
the grand jury did not consider the oral evil
dence for their consideration justified The
only thing proved was that he disbursed
money as part OF a friendly agent OF repre-
sentative when Gordon was absent from Du-
luth. Lovejoy is said to have disappeared
during the night

OUR PENSIONERS.
Methods Employed by the Bureau SO Dis
cover Frauds-The Grand Army TO be
Asked to Assist.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Thus far the PEN
sion bureau has received only one communica.
tion in answer to the publication of names Ct
pensioners. The writer mentions three per-
sons, whose names appear in the list, who he
believes are not entitled to pensions. In this
case, and in all similar cases which may arise,
the confidential communication circular" of
the bureau will be sent to the complainant
Ihls circulari is request for all information at
the command of the writer, together with
names of witnesses from whom evidence may
be obtained The answer will be considered
confidential il the complainant SO desires, but
the rights of no man will be determined upon
confidential communications. The case will
be settled By proper testimony, taken in the
presence of the complainant or with his fuil
knowledge.
Commissioner Dudley believes that tho pub
lcatlon OF the list was not wise measure, as
ne Is informed that many pension attorneys
nave already begun to distribute their circu-
lars by the thousand, and are working thtir
full Office force night and day in mailing them
to pensioners. He estimates that each PEN
sloner drawing less than 800 per month will
receive from five to fifty circulars from claim
agents urging him to apply for an increase.
The result will doubtless be flood of applica
tions upon the pension office, which will cause
delay in the regular work of the bureau and
clog the progress of cases now on file, as all APP
plcatlons must receive attention. The COM
missioner warns pensioners against bei no mis-
led BY the seductive circular OF the & eI-.s-a
agents unless they feel absolutely certain that
they are not receiving their just dues at pres
ent, as REORGANIZATION may result in de-
crease instead of an increase in the pension al
ready received.
The attention of the commissioner was
called to an editorial in western New York
paper, suggesting that the Grand Army of the
Republic and similar organizations should go
over the lists of names in their districts and
ascertain, ii possible whether or not any of
the list were obtaining pensions Under misrep-
resentation. General Dudley said the idea
was an excellent one, and If adopted by the
veterans associations throughout the country
1t would greatly aid the pension office in de-
t6cting frauds
