WASHINGTON, May 2.-The charge
against Gen. Rosecrans Is that he was en-
gagged in some alleged land speculations in
Los Angeles county about twenty years
ago. This charge against him was brought
to light by Senator Edmunds, who was the
attorney for the persons who were trying
to dislodge RoSecrans from his lands The
facts OF the case are alleged to be as fol-
lows: In 1866 Gen. Rosecrans had George
Bansen, deputy United States surveyor.
survey the Mexican grant, Rancho Sansal
Redondo, in Los Angeles county. The
owners OF the grant were not represented
at the survey and protested against it. The
survey of Hansen made the grants
smaller than the owners claimed it was,
and a number of outsiders took up the land
that had been thrown into the public do
main by contracting the boundaries of the
grant through the new survey. The find
ings Of the superior court Of Los Angeles,
in the case OF Foster VS.. O'Connor, Judge
Sepulreda being on the bench, were that
the outsiders who had taken up the land
had assigned all their claims to it
TO RoSECRAN5.
Hanson's survey was SCI aside by the Sec
retary OF the interior In 1S0S, and new
survey was ordered. The second survey
ran lines that included all the land claimed
by Rosecrans within the Mexican grant.
This second survey was set aside in 1871,
and Hansens survey re-established. Some
personswhO had squatted on the land entered
by the outsiders were ordered to remove,
and they set up the claim that Rosecrans'
title to it was not valid. The case was
carried to the United States supreme court,
and Senator Edmunds was engaged by the
settlers. He made strong argument
against the title held by Rosecrans, but the
court held that the settlers were not the
proper parties to bring the action against
Rosecrans to vacate the title; that the
United States government should do that.
The court without passing On the fact of
how the land had been obtained. dismissed
the suit of the settlers. Ednunds re-
membered the facts of the case. and brought
them to the attention OF Morrill,, chairman
OF the committee on finance, when Rose
| crans' nomination was sent to the senate.
1t was that that has hung up Rosecrans
nomination, and which will probably defeat
him.

He rides about the city and through the
parks every day, and apparently enjoys the
exercise. The speculation about the secre-
tary's retirement from the cabinet appears
to have been unfounded. The editor OF
the Sunday Capital in yesterdays issue
says:
am authorized to say that there is no
foundation for any OF the statements that
have been published attributing to Secretary
Manuing, desire to retire from the treasury
department. So far from these statements
being true, the contrary is the fact. Secre-
tary Manning earnestly desires and fully in
tends to remain at the head of the treasury
department. which he has so ably directed for
the past year.

the provision of the bill requiring that the
principal of the moneys arising from the
sale of Indian lands be payable in twenty
five years, interest thereon at the rate of
per cent per annum. being dsbursed
to the Indians. This change has been
made at the instance of many of the Indians,
who desire to get benefits arising from the
appreciation of the value of their lands.
The committee has under consideration an
amendment providing for Individual allot-
ments in special cases made upon recon-
mendation of the secretary Of the interior.
The house and senate committee appeared
to be acting in harmony, and desire to place
upon the statute book permanent law

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Some of the
Eastern philanthropists are not little dis
gruntled over certain amendments made by
the house committee on Indian affairs to
the senate measure known as the severalty
bill. 1t is said that the complaints are un-
founded and arise from a superficial
knowledge Of the amendment contemplated.
The object of the bill is the formation Of
an Indian policy with the ultimate
purpose of civilizing the Indians.
Public sentiment with regard to
this proposition has within the past few
years undergone a great change, which
fact is to great degree due to
the labors of the philanthropists of
the East. The house committee has
stricken from the senate bill the clause re-
lating to tribal patents. This is done in
the interest of the Indians, the theory be-
ing that the tribal strength is maintained
by the hold OH the Indians possessed by
their chiefs and medicine men. AS the In

is not generally known by race admirers in
this country that all the race tracks in
England are grass covered, no roadways

the earlier practice OF trOtting contests, un-

on earth tracks, and only hurdle races and
steeplechases have hitherto been run on
turf Last year the Vanderbilts, Jeromes

management to introduce grass track, but
the proposition was not accepted, so the ex-
pertinent is to be undertaken at Sheepshead
