Investigating Utah Public Land Office.

4nVesGl8at1ng Utah PUBLIC Land OHtccS.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. when Mr..
R. S. Dement,, of Lexington, Ills, received
his appointment as surveyor general of Utah
territory a few months ago he received in
struetions from Mr.. Sparks to make an in
vestigation into the frauds which Mr. Sparks
believed existed in the public land offices OF
the territory. DR.. Dement, returned to
Washington Wednesday and was closeted
until a late hour Thursday night with Mr.
Sparks Friday he had a long interview
with Secretary Lamar, at which Senator
Logan was present. He claims that the en-
tire federal system Of the territory is honey
combed with fraud, and the report which he
will make upon that subject will contain
numerous sensational features
Immediately after his arrival he en-
ployed the services of four detectives. The
result Of their investigation shows, he
claims, that most Of the public lands in the
territory has been stolen by the railroads
and certain prominent private citizens; that
80 per cent. Of the entries made by the Nor
mons are fraudulent, and also 25 per cent
Of those made by the Gentiles These
fraudulent entries were made, it is claimed,
with the collusion Of q corrupt ring of
federal officials there and here.
Mr.. Dement, also claims to have document
ary evidence in his possession showing that
the Mormon church has spent large sums of
money to prevent legislation inimical to
their interests, and to secure favorable do.
cisions from the courts. This money has
been disbursed through lobbyists here. His
report will show that q certain United
States senator received 200 for leading
the opposition to the Edmunds bill The re-
port win also charge that a number of rep
resenratives have been similarly bribed.
Mr.. Dement, will have an interview with
the pxesident on this subject

A PARTISAN QUARREL
is LIKELY TO RESULT FROM SENATOR
EoMuNDS' RESOLUTION
Calling the President for ''Those
Papers"-Investigating Frauds in Public
Land Ohices In Utah-Can for Per
Cent. Bonds-CapitaI Cuttings.

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. THE declin-
alton OF the administration to comply with
the resolution of the senate calling for
papers bearing upon the official character OF
she district attorney for the southern district
Of Alabama was the topic of discussion at
the capitol and in places of public resort
Saturday. There appears to be every indi-
cation OF bitter contest over the matter,
and before the end il reached, unless remark
able skill is displayed, it will develop into
controversy Of a thorough partisan cna..-c-
ter. Senator Edmunds is charged with the
management of the whole affair on the part
Of the majority, and the programme will
probably be to demand of each cabinet off,
Ger certain papers, which viii undoubtedly
bs refused, and the entire admin
istration thereby be placed on record against
the demands Of the upper house. This having
been done, the chances for open session will
Be good. But before this is reached it is
quite probable the Republicans under the
leadership of Edmunds will so step far
ther and pass a resolution directing" the
president TO submit to the senate the papers
asked for. The president will undoubtedly
refuse to comply with this resolution also,
whereupon the partisan debate is likely to
be inaugurated in open session Rumor has
it that there are three senators who are op-
posed to the stand taken by their brethren,
and about whom the ma ajority are extremely
anxions. 1t Is not believed, however, that
there viii be any desertions from the ranks.
The two parties will doubtless stand solidly
together on either side of the question
At IL o'clock Saturday morning under
call issued by. Senator Beck, the Democratic
senators met in caucus, and after long
but harmonious discussion unanimously
adopted the following:
Resolved, That we approve the views
and action of the president communicated
to the senate through Attorney General
Garland in his letter of Jan. 90, 1886, and
chat we cordially support the executive
therein"
The letter of the attorney general has
been received by the president of the senate
and will be laid before that body
on the next executive session. 1t can
be stated on semi-oficial authority that
the substance of the reply is practically
the same as outlined in these dispatches on
Thursday last, and that the papers called for
will not be furnished. The discussion in the
caucus Saturday afternoon did not vary in
any particular-every member present ad-
vocating that the Democrats stand by the !
executive in this matter until the end. It is |
thought that the Republican senator's will |
hold q caucus on Monday, on which day the |
attorney generals letter will doubtless be |
laid before the senate in executive session.

The First One Cent Daily Paper.

II is not generally known that Horace

country Ii was solid at one cent until
near the close Of its hrirt career, though

very dr~irOuS 1t should be- put at that
price from the start Shepard got his
idea from the rapidity with which he had
noticed that anything and everything
that cost only cent was sold i'll Chatham
street nifty odd years ago. He had very
little money, but he was SO confident of
success, if the thing WAS once begun, that
he went To The Spirit of the Times office
where Greeley was then n young cOmpos-
tor, and asked him Ia be its editor. The
clever type~etter declared that cents was
the lowest rate that world sustain daily
paper, and he supported his statements
with So many solid Reasons that The
Morning Post appeared January, IS43, at
the figure named The bantling had a
deal Of i'll luck; hut still sold several hun
dred copies daily On the third day Of
the third week it received its quietus,
having been put off several days at cent
The demand WAS - much larger that the
owner believed that, if it had been sold at
that price from the beginning, it would
have prOspered.

4 Gay Runaway.

Yesterday afternoon. about half-pa>t two
O'Clock. one of of GrosS's fine hearse horses
took fright at the cars, up at the High
street bridge. and managed to get COM
pletely away with the colored man driving.
The light wagon to which the horse was at
tached struck stone and turned over
emptying out the driver and starting the
hor.e on the run. The man very piuckily
managed to hold onto the horse. and. after
cteded in stopping the beast. The driver
was skinned considerably about the face
and side. and his hands were somewhat
bruised. The wagon, strange to relate, was
not injured in the slightest
