Issue of Patents Suspended.

WASHINGTON, D. O., April 3.--Commssioner
Sparks to-day struck severe blow at tho peo-
pie who make fraudulent entries of public
lands. 1t is the most practical measure in the
direction Of reform that las been instituted in
the land Office for long time. Tho fraudu-
lent entering Of public lands has for years been
going on at wholesale. Whole tiers Of town.
ships in many territories have been taken up
by people, not one Of whom has right to make
an entry; and quantities Of arabic lapd7 are
being taken up under the '1esert land act,"
and lands are also obtained under the climber
culture act" without complying with their
conditions. The repeal Of the desert land and
timber-culture acts will put stop for the fu-
ture to large class of these frauds. Commits.
sioner McFarlane employed a considerable
number Of special agents 10 60 through the
territories and spot the frauds, and many at
tempts to get wrongful possession of the pub
lie lands were detected. But frauds continued
much tasted than they could 10 detected. BY
the order Of Commissioner Sparks to-day, final
action on the Issue of patents is suspended un-
til further orders in all cases of desert lands or
timber-culture slaims, and all homestead en-
tries in Western Kansas, Western Nebraska,
New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming,
Montana and part Of Minnesota The land
offices remain open as usual and settlers can
60 on making their entries, but the govern
ment will retain the title of lands in its own
possession until the commissioner has had a
general investigation. In this way frauds will
be detected before the government has actually
parted with its ownership Of the landA Ths
order is primarily aimed a. tho unlawful claims
Of the catt!o Apen and It does not apply to home
sIead entries In Dakota, Idaho and Washing
ton territories but the commissioner will ex-
tend his order to those territories II he finds it
to be necessary.

The Vyinnebaso Settlers,

WASHINGTON, April 4.-President Cleveland
has had consultation with Secretary Lamar
in reference to the status Of the Winnebaeo
reservation settlers. No conclusion was reached
and further conference will be held. It is be-
lieyed that the department apprehends serious
trouble if the government should attempt to
eject the settlers from the reservation. An Of
ficial Of the department to-day remarked;
''The president opened the land to settlement
and the people sold out their possessions and
went into the reservation and located home
steads. The attorney general now says the
presidents order is invalid, and it becomes the
duty of the interior department to eject the
settlers. We may congratulate ourselves if the
attempt to do SO does not result in blood

On Tuesday Of last week Colonel Lounsberry
retired from the Bismarck Journal and turned
the paper over to n joint stock company, which
will hereafter publish 1t as Democratic news
paper, under the editorial management Of Maj.
Z. R. Otis. The stock Of the company is 81, 600,
which is to cover the material in the office in

ciated press franchise. The retirement of Col,
Lounsberry from the field of journalism in

PIERRE, April 3.-Great indignation and dis

closing Of the Crow Creek and Winnebago res

homes there. Great trouble is anticipated and
troops will be required to remove them. They
are thoroughly organized against the indians
and will have to be removed by force.--St.
