EXTENSIVE swINDLING.
Another Episode In the stRensol
Ring, Frauds.

SAN Francisco, March 16.-George
w. Baker, Deputy United States Sur
veyor, has made an affidavit that
John H. Mckee, of the Benson
ring, has used power of attorney,
signed and delivered by him (Baker)
to draw from the United States
sub-treasury at divers times sums of
money for the surveyors of public
lands, signing the atlantis name to
warrants drawn in his favor by the
United States government and appro-
priating the proceeds. The books of
the Surveyor General show that Baker
is credited with receiving over SOL 900.

1T IS beyond my power 10 give you
any explanation of this action. The
men have not notified me, and l am
completely in the dark. If the com.
pany has not broken its agreement
with the men, they have done wrong
and must suffer the consequences. II
is nothing less than open rebellion,
for it looks as though tue men were
tired of the grand officers advice or
willfully disregarded their duties to
the laws and constitution"
The following message was sent to
O'Connor, chairman of the Grievance
Committee, yesterday:
Jas O'C0nn0r, Chairman, etc.:
ut is sreported here that you have
ordered the men to quit work. Re-
woke it. Your grievance can be settled
here by Mr.. Sn ith; come to Chicago
by first train. (Signed)
P. M. ARTHUR.
The officials of the company say the
actions of the men are beyond their
comprehension, as the road has not
be en- handling Burlington freight.
WHAT SMITH SAYS.
Vice President Smith said this
morning that they were still in dark.
ness as to the cause of the inen'gs ac-
ton, and that they would not decide
on any line of action until they were
thoroughly informed of the situation
both on their own account and the
connecting lines.
ANOTHER CHAT ABOUT THE AFFAIR.
At 10 O'Clock tonight G. w. Smith
Vice-President and General Manager
of the Santa Fe system, said that the
Brotherhood men had volunteered tc
take the passenger trains of the com.
pany west from Kansas City tonight
and more Brotherhood men woulC
run out the regular passenger trains
in the morning. Mr.. Smith thought
it probable that similar arrangements
would be made in the far West, &c
that the eastbound passenger service
would not be delayed. Otherwise
there had been no change since last
evening, when the road was stopped
in ten minutes.
THE FREIGHT TRAFFIC
vi tilc IOdu Is virtually dL u StHuQ
still. Representatives of the engineers
on all of the roads entering Chicago
were again in session to-day, and are
to resume their deliberations to-mor
row. No hint of what they were
doing could be obtained Of any Of the
delegates. Seventeen Reading en-
l gineers and firemen employed by the
Burlington road since the strike be
gan, reached here to-day from various
points along the road, and went home
ward tonight by the Chicago and At
lantic. They claimed that the Bur
lington company had not carried its
bargains out, and that they could dc
better in the East.
TROUBLE IN IOWA.
1t is reported that the engineers
OF the Central Iowa system gave no
ticc to-day that after 6 O'Clock they
would refuse to handle Burlington
cars. Two sreights have consequently
been laid out tonight, but others, st
far as reported are moving. Tht
Central is in the hands of the United
States Court.

THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

Contract Renewed with the
Oceanica steamship Co.
SAN Francisco, March 16.-The
Oceanica Steamship Company has
obtained a renewal Of the contract to
carry the English mails for Australia
and New Zealand via San Francisco.
The contract extends to November,
1889. One strong argument used was
that in case of war the mails would
be safe under a neutral flag. A pro-
vision is made for increase Of speed.
: 1t is not certain yet whether under
the new contract it will be necessary
for the Australian lines to touch at
San Diego for through mails.

strike was due to the company pe:'
sisting in handling Burlington freight.
THE PRIMARY PROCEEDINGS,

Superintendents of the Atchison's
California lines we're notified yester-
day that the Brotherhood men would
strike to-day unlees thecempany abso-
lutely refused to handle Burlington
cars. Smith has not yet been notified
as to action on the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe. On the Atchison proper
the strike appears to be a fact, al
though several trains are still rum
ming.
The local situation is practically un-
changed this morning. All lines,
with the exception of the st. Paul,
are handling 20" cars and do not an
ticipate any trouble on the part of the
Brotherhood.

Evidence Regarding the X aans
road Traffic.

road Traffic.
CHICAGO, March 18.-Before tho
Interstate Commerce Commissfonero
to-day General Manager Olds Of The
Canadian Pacific Railway, asserted
that his company was not the dir
turber, but had given the Americas
shippers the advantage Of reasonable:
rates. The road was not responsIb1o
Cor competition in Chicago and tho
West, as the American lines were tha
initial lines and the Canadf6n
Pacific only took such businen
as they brought to it. His Linz
was working in amity with ths
transcontinental roads and the State
ment that it had robbed the AmeFican
lines Of $12, 900, 900 in 1887, was ~
boeh. The revenue from the intoG-
state traffic in that period was $185,
600.
Chairman Blanchard, and Faifhok1
and Migley, of the Central and WoGt-
ern Traffic Association, testified ~
garding the underbilling and fa1So
classification, and Blanchard urIed
the commissioners to recommend IL
passage Of law to punish these fra1
dulent practices.

SAN BERNARDrNo, March 16.-The
locomotive engineers on the California
Southern Rail, oad quit work this
morning. Superintendent McC Cool in.
formed the Grievance Committee that
his company would continue to move
all freight consigned to the road,
whereupon the firemen and engineers
quit. Many Eastern people are de-
tanned here in consequence.
As fast as the engineers reach here
on the California Central they aban-
don their engines. Three cars of ex
cursionists from Los Angeles for San
Diego were delayed here, and many
returned by the Southern Pacific this
afternoon. There is no refusal to take
out mail trains. A message from the
agent at Cotton at IL: 80 A. NJ. says
that there is no strike on the Southern
Pacific.
OUR LOCAL TRAFFIC.
PASADENA, March 16.-Local pas
senger and freight business is entirely
su. pended on account of the strike on
the Santa Fe system. Three engines
were ordered back to Los Angeles this
morning. The engineers say they are
s'tired."
EFFECT AT SANTA ANA.
SANTA ANA, March 16.-On account
of the strike no freight or passenger
trains arrived to-day over the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad. Some passen-
gers going east were delayed.
RUINoUS FOR RIVERSIDE.
RIVERSIDE, March 16.--All of the
engineers on the Santa Fe system
were ordered out this morning, and
the train from San Diego this noon
was the last to run on the road.
Stages from here connect at Cotton
with the Southern Pacific trains,
which still run. Orange shipments
have stopped, except a few taken to
Cotton by teams. Packing houses are
closed up for the present. No mails
arrive or depart to-day in any direc-
ton, and probably none will 20 out
until the strike is declared off.
STATEMENT BY THE s. p.
SAN Francisco, March 16 South
ern Pacific officials here are looking at
the strike en- the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe road with much anxiety.
They state, however, that the engi-
neers and firemen on their road have
always received excellent treatment,
and, for this reason, they cannot un-
derstand why the men should desert
them.

During the year ending June 30, 1851,
2,o67, ,291 acres Of the public domain of
Dakota were duly hled Upon. Dakota
produced nearly 10000 900 Bushels of
corn in 1886. and over "a. 00O, 900 in 1887.
.....The wheat crop of Dakota in 1887
was 62, 653. 400 bushels. Intell1gently
investigated and understood, the health
fulness of the climate of Dakota Offers
the strongest and weight,sst OF all induce.
niehts for a settlement in our midst: :....
The bread made from Dakota wheat -four
contains more gluten and other Of the
materials Which nourisli and build up
the human body than bread from any
other brand The ratioNof prisoners
to population in Dakota In 1866 was otis
in 2, 2j3--thc most favorable Slowing Of
MI the states and territories. Nevada was
the worst, with one prisoner to every 818
Of population ....T The natural grasses of
Dakota possssa nutritious and strengt

acres of such kind Of forage on which to
