Timber Land Frauds on the GOvernmOnt.
SAN FRANClsCo, April 6.-The United

ments against eight prominent citizens
Of this State for subornatlon Of perjury
in the case Of fraudulent entries OF red.
wood timber land in Humboldt county,
Gal. The names Of three are Joseph
Russ, David Evans and Charles II. King,
who collectively represent 5000, COO CAPT.
tai. The uames OF the other FIVE are
not yet known, but they are said to be
oil wealthy men.
The Land Department at Washington
had reason to suspect Irregularities in the
entry OF these lands, and sent out Special
Agent B. +. Bergen, Of the Interior De.
partment, to investigate the matter. The
result Of Mr.. Bergen's investigation shows
that the parties indicted are all members
o., the California Redwood Company, cap.
ital Tor which was mainly subscribed In
Scotland. The indicted parties procured
about six hundred American citizens to
take up 100 acres Of land each, for which
each received fifty dollars. The entries
were, In all cases, Immediately conveyed
TO David Evans, one Of the indicted par.
ties.
The California Redwood Company af.
terwards sent an agent TO Scotland to form
. syndicate and sell the lands. Tho syn.
dictate paid the California Redwood Com.
pAny $50 an acre for the land which, as
shown, the latter had iraudulently pur.
chased from the Government for So so an
acre. Mr.. Bergen has passed three months
In Humboldt county working up the case,
and notwithstanding the numerous diff.
tlcnlties thrown in his way, las secured
testimony from over one hundred persons
who accepted the bribe. Suit will be in.
Stituted by the Government to set aside
all these entries as well 90 the patents,
which have already been issued. The land
embraces 1000 acres Of the best redwood
timber land on the coast.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 5.-The Clear

the operators refused their overturee, and
that Stneatly all the mines the workmen

WASHINGTON, April 5,-Ths proposition

1t at an early date-poSSibly during this

Should Mr.. Edmunds decide to support
resolution in favor OF opening the doors,
or OF making public the journal at the
end Of each executive session, there Is no
doubt about Its adoption. The Vermont
Senator fully realizes the Importance oil

does not yet see how the matter can be
adjusted without injury to the public ser.

Mr.. Edmunds takes the ground that
should the doors be opened to tho public
the confidential exchange OF views about
nominees could not be US freely INDUCED

present method Of doing executive bust

ST. LOUIS, April 5.-It was generally
believed yesterday that to-day the freight
blockade on this and the East side Of the
liver would be raised and the resumption
Of traffic would be completed. There was
but little interference on Saturday with
the running OF freight trains from East st.
Louis, and 1t was the expectation OF the
lillCials that they would be able TO prose-
cute their regular business to-day, the
same as though there had never been any
trouble. The Bridge and Tunnel Com,
pany announced yesterday. that they
would be ready to handle All business
given them. The joint notice agreed upon
It the general meeting held Saturday,
diving the men until one o'clock to.
lay to return 10 work, evidently
nad the desired effect, as the superin.
.endents were notified yesterday by many
II their former employees that they would
90 on hand to-day ready for duty. Presi.
lent Tauzsy, OF the Transfer Company,
llso received official notice from his EN-.
ployes that they would report for
work in body al the Compsnys stables
his morning. The striking Missouri Pa
Cidc Knights, It Is understood, also in.
ended to apply for positions TO their for.
ner employers, bnt the formal revocation
asst night by the General Executive Com
mittee OF their order to the Knights OF
Labor TO return 10 work makes the out
ook to-day less hopeful, and the strike
may not be so nearly ended as was
thought. The Missouri Pacific has already
smployed u sufficient number Of new men
10 carry on it's business, and the officials oil
that road anticipate no trouble In keeping
the road open. In spite Of the strike.
In East st. Louis, however, the situation
g different, for those who have already
returned to work, US well as those who an,
nounCed their intention Of returning to-
lay, arc Kuight1 Of Labor, and are sub
iect to the orders Of the Executive Com
nitteo. II is expected, therefore, that
hose who have gone back to work will
;o.tlay strike again, and that the other
will withdraw their applications Tor the
sd places, when they shall receive the Of
aClal announcement Of the Committee'i
action.
The revocation by the Executive Com

Labor to 20 to work has had no elleCI
upon the business Of the Missouri PaCitit
OF Iron Mountain railroads, other than
making II necessary for the officials o.
those roads TO procure men for the
places made vacant by the strikers. The
| Iron Mountain sent out Eve freight trains
this morning and the Missouri Pacific an
equal number, no opposition being offered
by tho strikers The resumption OF
freight traffic on these roads may now be
considered complete, and tho raising o.
