The Great Land Enterprise.
Energetic measures are being adopted
by the Mexican Land and Development
Co.. for the carrying out of the great
enterprise to which we alluded in re-
cent issue in connection with the Grant
of Land it has acquired in the state of
Tamaulipas, Mexico. The hardest of the
surveying is already done, and it is esti-
mated that in year 1850, 600 acres can
be surveyed, of which the Company will
take 1900, 900 acres.
The land has navigable rivers, and har-
bors, and coal, and dense forests Of fine
timber, and petroleum, and precious
metals, and other minerals; but suppose
it had nothing at all except the bare land,
and suppose that 1t does not bring more
than the $1.25 per acre, you might figure
what the profit will be on some million
acres.
We know what land is. We can see it,
It is always where We can examine It,.
The most successful companies for some
years have been organized on land. The
whole world knows what boom there
was in Southern California last year, and
the many fortunes that were made. None
of these begin to compare with this enter
prise in magnitude, nor in It's possibilities.
1t comprises not alone millions of acres
of land but the opening for many indus
tries.

The Togus Matter

| Gen. MeMahon Of New York, and Gen
Hyde Of Bath, representing the board OF
managers Of the National Home for DISABLED
| veteran soldiers, arrived In this city, Thurs
day, and went directly To the Soldiers Home
at Togus. They came for the purpose of in
Vestigatiag the charges made by Michael
Burns Of this city. which were presented 10
| the board at their last meeting here, against
Gen. Luther Stephenson. jr., Governor OF
the Home. The charges aceuse Gen. Steph-
enson of extreme cruelty and neglect to the
soldiers, and Of defraading the government
BY building house out Of government prop
erty, selling thu same. and appropriatins the
money to his own private use.
Burns came with his counsel. Potter andGod-
dard, but the court decided that they had no
power to summon and swear witnesses unless
they could be put under oath, and asked for
a continuance until 10 O'Clock yesterday
The board granted this stay in the proceed
ings, and adjourned to meet al
the Cony House at that time
On the meeting of the board yesterday
forenoon, the counsel of Burns stated to
Gen. Mcmahon that as the board had no
power to summon witnesses and administer
oaths, the Investigation in his opinion, could
be nothing but farce.
Considerable off-hand testimony of Gen.
Stephenson end Burns was taken down by
the stenographer and will be presented To the
full board of managers at their first meeting
in New York the first of September. Gen.
Stephenson Indignantly denies every state
ment made by Burns and courts the fullest
investigation, Burns claims that he can
prove all his statements and says that his
counsel has decided to lay the whole case at
once before Congress and ask for a special
congressional committee to investigate the
charges 40 as to bring forward the large
number of witnesses which will be necessary.
