CaroAao, Jan. 30.-A Washington spe
cial says: When R. s.. Dement, received
his appointment as Surveyor General o
Utah Territory a few months ago, he re
ceiyed instructions to make any investiga
ton into frauds which Sparks believed OK
isted in the public land Office of the Ter
ritory. Dement, returned to Washington
yesterday and was closeted until a lat
hour last night with Sparks. He had
long interview with Secretary Lamar, 9
| which Senator Logan was present. Ill
| claims that the entire Federal system o
the Territory is honeyoombed with fraud
and the report which he will make upor
that subject will contain numerous sensa
tional features. Immediately after hi
arrival he employed the service Of four do
tectives. The result Of their investiga
ton shows that he claims most OF the pub
lie lands 10 the Territory have been stoler
by railroads and certain prominent an6
private citizens; that 30 per cent OF the
entries made by the Mormons are fraudu
lent. as are also Is per cent OF those made
by Gentiles. These fraudulent entries
were made, IL 10 claimed, with a collision
of . corrupt ring of Federal officials there
and here. Dement, also claims to have
documentary evidence in his possession
showing that the Mormon Church has speni
large sums Of money to prevent legisla'
ton inimical to their interests and to se-
sure favorable decisions from courts. This
money has been dishursed through a lob
byist here. His report will show that q
certain United Senator received $500 0O
for leading the opposition to Edmunds'
bill. The report will also charge that a
number OF Representatives have been sim
ilarly bribed. Dement, will have an inter
view with the President on the subject
to-day.
