CLEvELAND,s ACCEPTANCE.

The Soreness Thought to be Healing.
 ALBANY, N. Y, July 27.-Judging from the utterances of prominent Democrats who have visited the Governor during the past two weeks, the soreness in the party is heal ing. Tammany it is true, is in doubt, but it is predicted that the organization will fall into line at the proper moment. Many who met the Governor for the first time were de- lighted with his frank, open, manly bearing. Those who conversed with him at length were keely impressed with his broad, states manlike knowledge of public affairs. Sena- tor Pendleton looks upon his administration as the embodiment of true reform and ad- vancement. General Rosecrans says of Cleveland "Can take hold,' and that this campaign means a declaration of independ- enee of the producing classes from capitalis- tic domination and dictation. John E. Devlin pointed out that the much talked of vetoes were misunderstood; that instead of being aimed at the working classes, they were really in their interest and pressed harshly on the interests of the mo- nopolists. Men like Daniel Dougherty the noted orator of Philadelphia, John Boyle O'Railly, the eminent Irish patriot and writer, and Hon. P. A Collins, of Boston, have de- clared that Cleveland will get and deserves to get the Irish vote. The attitude of Butler gives the Cleveland men no concern. The reports that the doughty general will run have not yet been confirmed E'But," argues the Governors friends, should Butler de- eide to enter the field, what votes he might draw from Cleveland would be more than offset by the votes St. John will wiring from Blaine We are easy in mind" It has been suggested that Blaine made serious omission so far as the labor vote is concerned in not handling the Chinese question in his letter of accept ance. There is little doubt but that matter will be carefully treated in Cleveland's letter. General Rosecrans, who understands the Chinese question thoroughly may have given the Governor some hints during their inter view on Saturday. Gov. Cleveland went to church with his sisters this morning and re mained at the mansion during the rest of the day.

A Chtnaman Hacked Almost to Pieces

PORTLAND, Oregon, July 27.-Friday the mutilated body of Fee Gung, well known Chinese merchant of Olympia, w. T., was found in the timber near that place. He had evidently been murdered as the body was hacked almost to pieces with knives. The murder had been committed some days, the remains being much decomposed. Fee Gung mysteriously disappeared two weeks ago. Foul play was suspected and search made, resulting in finding the body. The night on which the murder was committed the victim had in his possession $500. No money was found on the body. The crime was evidently committed to obtain that sum. When last seen alive he was in the company of Sam Wing and Mong Fong, two of his country men. Investigation shows that these men are the guilty parties. Both have fled to British Columbia, whither officers have gone in pursuit

GIGANTIC LAND FRAUD.
The Schemes Worked By a Specia
 Agent.

The Schemes Worked By Special
 Agent.
 HURON, Dak., July 27.-One of the most gigantic land frauds in Dakota has just been made public by the arrest of Captain J. B. Week in this city yesterday. The case was worked by T. M. James, special agent of the Interior department. A year since it is al legged Weeks arranged with L. T. Cummings, of Chicago, to procure for him soldiers declaratory statements to enter government land, each statement to cover 160 acres and paying Cummings S16 for each declaratory statement. Both men were old soldiers, members of the G. A. R., and had considera- ble influence in the order. It is said Cum mings told the Chicago people he was en- gagged in getting possession of large tracts of Dakota land If the soldiers would give him their declaratory statements and sign relin- punishment in blank, he would attend to the filings and in six months they would get from $200 to S400 for each tract entered. At the end of six months the soldiers be- gan writing to the United States land of fee here inquiring about their filings. The inquiries were so frequent that the matter was thought worth investigation. Cummings said Weeks had the papers. He was an attorney at Huron and all was right. The matter was referred by the officers of the land offices here to Special Agent James. It was found that as Weeks secured customers for these lands he filled out the blank relin- punishment, acting as attorney for the soldier and accompanying each filling with his own affidavit to the effect that he had no personal interest in the trans fer of the land. Because of these facts and the aff1davits Assistant District Attorney Murphy swore out warrant and Weeks was arrested and taken before United States Commissioner Taylor in this city last evening, who held Weeks in bonds of g, 900 to appear for trial on Tuesday Weeks had operated quite extensively, having acted as attorney and filled two declarations in the name of Hermann Taffant, one at the Mitch ell office in January last, and the other at the Huron office last August and did the same for Patrick Kingsley. The land office record is being searched to learn the magni- tude of the swindle which so far promises to be the greatest known in the territory. This receipt is in the hands of United States of icials:
 Received of J. B Weeks 5000 for soldiers declara tories, and $500 for blanks So anxious were the $4OO from their decIaratories that they paid Cum mings from $10 to S20 to hurry their cases. Fri honas partner of Weeks also arrested, but released on his own recognizance, it being be- lieved that he had no hand in the matter The has caused much excitement here.
