anxious to learn direct from Mr.. Hoxie
whether such was the case. Mr.. Turner

following account of the Interview:
We called on Mr.. Hoxie this afternoon. Mr..
HoXie was very cool. He did not ask us 10
be seated. I began by asking him if the
statement was true that he had refused to
back any of the strikers. He said no; that
he would consiSe personal applications, but
use his own pleasure entirely In acting upon
them. He went on to say thas he now needed
about 80 per cent only Of the number of men
who struck. but was careful not to say that
be would employ them from the body of the
strikers. said that Mr.. Gould hRl given US
TO understand that all except those who
actually committed acts of violence
" would be taken back. He said that neither
those who committed such acts nor those who
advised them would be accepted. He CON-
tinued that the road had too many employees
before and preferred cutting down the force
to cutting down the hours. At this point Dir.
Bailey interrupted him by saying that that
was probably the reason why the company
forced tae strike, to cut down the number OF
employes. Mr.. Hoxie said he could take ii
that way if he wanted TO, and asked me about

1--WE will not wire Powderly until we hear

"Wnat do you think will be the final ac-
tion?'
'If we cannot make terms, as 1 am now

Prominent Califoruians Indicted

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 3.-The
United States grand jury ts-day found in
dictments against eight prominent citizens
of this state for subornation Of perjury
in the case of fraudulent entries Of
Redwood timber land in Humboldt
county. The names of three are are
Joseph Russ, David Evans and Charles II.
King, who collectively represent five mill
ions of capital. The names of the other
hVe or not yet known, but they are said to
be all wealthy men. The land department
at Washington had reasons to suspect ir-
regularities in the entry Of these lands. and
sent out Special Agent B. E. Bergen of the
interior department to investigate
the matter. The result ofBergen's
investigation shows that the parties
indicated were all members Of
the California Redwood company, the cap
ital for which was mainly subscribed in
Scotland. The indicted parties purchased
600 American citizens to take up 16O acres
of land each. for which each received $50.
Entries were In all cases Immediately con-
veyed to David Evans, one of
the indicted parties. The Cali
fornia Redwood company afterwards
sent an agent to Scotland to form a syndi-
cate ami sell the lands. The syndicate
paid the California Redwood company $40
an acre for the land, which as
shown the latter had frauduIently
purchased from the government for ST. so
an acre. Mr. Bergen has passed three
months in Humboldt county working up
the case, and. Notwithstanding numerous
difficulties thrown in his way, has secured
testimony from over hundred persons
who had accepted bribes. Suit will be
instituted by the government to
set aside all the entries as well as patents
which have already been issued. The land
embraces 96, 900 acres of the best redwood
timber land on the coast.

DETROIT, Mich, April 3.-Allie Bales
and his brother went to live with ther
grandmother in New York when they were
2 and years of age, their mother
supporting herself, while the father
left the family and went to the
West. The two little boys were
kindly cared for until they were able to
care for themselves. Thirty-one years ago
their father died and the estate was settled
up. The money belonging to the two boys
was put out at interest with suitable Sc
curity, aud the papers deposited with the
old grandmother for safe keeping. After
lapse of time the mother married and the
boys migrated to Michigan ignorant Of the
treasure that was stored for them. After a
time the grandmother died, and an old chest
securely fastened she directed to be given
Allie, as it contained the Bible and other
relics af the family. All these long years
has the old dust-covered chest reposed with
its precious contents in the attic at Green
vile, Mich. About six months ago Al was
married, and his mother, in whose care the
old chest has been, took 1t TO Ars house.
Curiosity prompted him to open it to-day,
and in the old family Bible he found be-
tween the leaves all the papers. documents,
bonds, etc., properly executed, which
makes him and the children of his deceased
brother heirs to $40, 900.

PARSONS, Kan, April Slight COM
panies of the First regiment of Kansas
militia arrived in the city last night and
took charge of the Missouri Pacific yards.
and this morning the Kansas national
guards commenced making up trains, the
engines being guarded on each side by the
bayonets of the soldiers. One freight
train has been sent out, and 1t is expected
the yards will at once be cleared OF all
freight cars. The strikers have made no
disturbance or resistance and seem TO ac-
cept the situation as Inevitable. The
company is now paying of all the
men engaged in the strike, and
some of them are feeling rather
blue at the prospects of being indefinitely
out of job. The feeling here is that the
embargo will be laid on the train as soon as
the military return TO their homes. Freight
trains are being rapidly sent out under
guard OF the militia. There has been no
effort to resist the soldiers. The company
paid of 20S OF the strikers to-day and
ninety-three were notified that their SER
vices were no longer required. and ii is now
a matter Of doubt IL the remainder will 90
back TO work. 1t IS impossible TO say how
long the troops Will be needed here. but
everything goes TO show that they will not
leave within a week. 1t is anticipated
that the shops will open again On Monday.
