State having been informed that the Chinese
government proposed to enter silk loom in op

The question was referred to the Treasury De-

the Secretary of State that Chinese operatives
will be admitted without molestation, with the
understanding that they will not remain in the
country longer than necessary to display the ex-

From the Pittsburg stockman.
The very general and somewhat serious
development of Texas fever in the West
in the last few weeks, will no doubt lead
to increased circumspections in the future
movement of Southwestern cattle north
ward. Wyoming is really the only con-
siderable cattle region which has been Civ
ing this matter anything like adequate at
tention. The sanitary regulations by
which the stockmen of this Territory are
protected are most excellent, and ought 10
be emulated all over the West. Until
they are, the experiences of the present
season are likely to be repeated with suf-
fcient frequency to at least rob the cattle
business OF much of its profit, if not really
to jeopardise its actual existence. The
strictest of local provisions and the most
comprehensive Irrational laws are essen
tial for the adequate protection of Ameri-
al focks and herds from possible conta-

FRAUD AND FENCES.

Public Lands Illegally Held by
Large Corporations.
An Investigation Which Prom
ises Great Results.
Fraudulent Land Holdines.

WASHINGTON, August 25.-Some time
since the Commissioner of the General
Land Office ordered a survey of certain
public lands in Colorado and Nebraska,
with a view of bringing suits at the next
term of Court against the cattle com
panies that have illegally fenced in large
tracts of land in those States, A special
agent who has been attending the survey
in Colorado, in his report to the Commits
s%ioner, says eight cases have been found
against the Prairie Cattle Company, com
posed of Scotchmen. An examination
has been made of tracts containing res
pectively 100 square miles, twenty-five
square miles, sixteen square miles and
seyenty-fve square miles, and the agent
is at present examining a tract containing
over one hundred square miles.
All of these are under control of the
Prairie Cattle Company, and the agent
says they are illegally fenced in. Officials
in the Land Office say the practice of
illegally fencing large tracts of land and
MAKING FRAUDULENT ENTRIES
has been greater the past year than ever
before. They claim hat between five and
six millions of acres are now illegally
fenced, and hat several millions of acres
are fraudulently entered.
Complaints from settlers are being re-
ceived daily by agents, and ut the Land
Office here. Settlers say the cattlemen
are driving them away and taking from
them lands which they have settled upon.
One of the Land Office officials said if the
practice is continued the cattlemen will
have entire control of the best public lands
in the United States within twenty years.
Relative to fraudulent entries of land
the land agent in New Mexico informs
the General Land Commissioner that of
the entries in that Territory 90 per cent
are fraudulent, and another agent in
Kansas, writing upon the same subject,
says that 70 per cent of the entries are
