SAN FRANCISCO, January 6.-The Ma
sonic Cemetery Association has brought
suit in the Superior Court against ex-Sen-
ator Sharon and others for Decorating a
grave during the Sharon divorce trial. A
witness testified that Miss Hill, the plain
tiff in the case, had placed some of Shar-
on's undergarments in anewly made grave
for the purpose of acting as a love charm
on the millionaire ex-senator. Health
Officer Mears, at the instigation of Shar-
on's counsel, had the grave opened to see
if such articles had been deposited. A
claim is now made that the grave was des.
ecrated, and $1,000 damages asked. The
suit is chiefly to test the authority Of the
health officer in such natter.

LONDON, January 6.7Second Mate
William Rauscher and Boatswain Ferdi-
nand Koelplin, of the American ship j.
+. Chapman, from San Francisco, were
arnigned to-day at the Bow street Po-
lice Court on the charge Of having muir
dered a Russian seaman named Jansen
by cruel treatment and for examination
under the extradition treaty with the Uni
ted States. A deadlock occurred because
the extradition treaty does not expressly
nam murder as one Of the crimes for
which a person may be extradited. After
several hours delay. however, the prison
ers were placed in the dock. The Amer
lean Consul was present to watch the pro-
ceedings for his government Formal
evidence was presented to prove the ex-
isterce Of warrant to transfer prisoners
to London under the extradition act.
Lickford, the solicitor for the prisoners,
objected to the proceedings as informal.
He pronounced the evidence insufficient
and declared there was absolutely nothing
to prove the nationality Of the ship. The
prisoners were remanded to allow time
for communication with the American
government.

pointment of the United States Deputy

eral mathod of questioning was to read

mended them, and then Mr.. Follot would

not recollect the persons asked about. or

deayored to get good efficient men and
most Of them were such. He admitted
having appointed three deputies to serve
In Reading which was not a city of 1000
inhabitants, and from which he had no
written application. In the witness view
Of law he had power to send general
deputies to every voting place in South

titled to allow them pay for such service.

NEW ORLEANS, January 6.-Director
General Burke states that two thousand
men were at work in the rain and mud
during the last month at the Exposition
ground. "Our laborers, > he said have
been paid up to the last weeks rolls and
a large part of these rolls have been paid.
The balance will be paid to-day. beginning
the first Of January. All receipts are
first applied to the operating expenses,
which have been reduced to low figures.
The surplus is applied to back indebted
ness The receipts are ample for the cur
rent expenses. even during bad weather.
With fair weather the revenues are ten
times the amount Of the expenses.
When asked if the Exposition manage
ment would apply to Congress for aid
General Burke said the board expressed
no such intention. The board would ap-
ply TO their own people to increase the
subscriptions and pay the mounts due,
and that the Exposition he thinks viii be
perfectly able to carry itself without aid
from the Government.

ALBANY, January 6.-Governor Hill
in his message to the Legislature says:
1T may be safely asserted that the ad-
ministration of Governor Cleveland for
two years past moro than met the just ex-
p~ectations Of the people, and made its
lasting impression in the annals of the
State. II has been brilliant in its sterling
integrity, safe in its true conservatism,
bold in its efforts for reform, faithful in
its adherence to pledges and vigilant in
its opposition to corruption. Its straight
forward and business like conduct, united
with unquestioned honesty of purpose
has won for it, and himself, the warm
approval of political friends, the sincere
respect of his opponents, and answering
and unselfsh support of Independent cit
liens everywhere. That he may meet
with the same degree of sucsess in the
greater office to which he has been called
is the earnest wish of all citizens of this
State and every lover of good govern
ment."

tons will lose anything. as the assets are

WASHINGTON, January 6.-Investiga-
ton Of Indian land cases was begun by
the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs
to-day.e John w. Scott, agent for sew
eral tribes in the Indian Territory, was
called and said all the tribes under his
charge had leased portions of their lands.
The Poncas had leased 5000 acres, or
one-half Of their possessions. at $17,O0O
per annum. The land was not sublet,
but occupied by Sherburne, the lessee,
for grazing purposes. The present policy
of leasing, the witness considered best.
He was asked if the present price paid by
S~herburne was a fair one. but he was
not prepared to express an opinion on
this point, but thought, however, that it
would bring more if open to competition
The Nez Perces leased a portion of their
reservation for 5000 a year. and the
Pawnees leased 127, 600 acres at 30 cents
per acre for a term of ten years The
witness was present and advised the In
dams in making some of these leases, but
now, since public attention was so wide
called to this matter, the witness thought
that the lands might now be leased for a
price.

Horse Creek Correspondence Greeley Tribune.
In addition to his home ranch, Mr..
Gordon and @. A Campbell, Formerly Of
Fort Collins, Colo, have together pur-
chased a. tract of more than $4,000 acres
Of desert land, which lies between Horse
and Bear creeks, and will be inclosed by a
five barb wire fence. A ditch 10 feet on
the bottom has been under construction,
and about four and one half miles com
pleted, with the exception Of five fumes,
in the construction Of which 70, 1000 feet
oflumber will be used this winter. For
the first five miles Of this ditch it became
necessary to hug the bluffs pretty close
by, 50 that the largest portion of the ex-
cavations had to be made with powder, al
though the rock was soft and when exposed
to the atmosphere would crumble away
like Stacked lime. The fall will be four
feet to the mile. and the first five miles
will cost SOS. 900 to $4,000, as some of
the cuts are very deep. From this point
the water will be divided, and will flow ON
in two smaller canals in e~asterly and
notheasterly directions, so as to water the
area of land. OF the many other
bitches fed by Little and Big Horse
creeks are 7. Routledge's, Wood 4
Lukens', from Fort Collins; Ed. Brown
and Mr. Hecker, one Of the Greeley
colonists. A man las been termed a
public benefactor who made WI blades of
grass to grow where only one grew before.
What then shall be said of those who
by their lifelong toll have turned the
floods and led waters over the desert
places, increased riches, built cities, refined
and benefited mankind. The
men who build irrigating bitches are the
cause Of this prosperity; and they leave
their everlasting monuments behind
them.

ing this afternoon to fill a vacancy caused
by the resignation of d. j. Morrell, the
President. B. +. Jones was elected Pres
ident, james N. Swank, Vice President,
and George W. Cope, Secretary. Swank
has for twelve years been Secretary of the
Association, and Cope was until about a
year ago assistant Secretary. The fol-
lowing action was taken upon the tariff:
The board Of managers of the Iron &
Steel Association ayails itself of
the opportunity 20 express its
hearty sympathy with all proper
efforts that may be made by the Govern
ment to increase the sales of our products
in foreign markets. 1t does not, however,
regard as safe the method of extending
our foreign commerce by the adoption of
the policy of negotiating commercial
treaties, as that policy would imperil the
domestic control of our home markets
which must always continue to be our
best markets. 1t is respectfully suggest
ed that the surest and safest way to. Sc
cure an extension of our foreign commerce
is to afford adequate encouragement to
American capital to establish lines Of
steamships between our own and foreign
ports, which steamships would carry
American mail and afford all needed facil-
tiles for the interchange of American pro-
ducts for the products of foreign countries
without endangering the existence Of any
