How Settlers are WrOnged.

The fraud division of the general land of
fee furnishes an instance of how settlers are
wronged by the so-called special agents OF
the interior department. In this division
there are cases held up which were reported
three or four years ago. If proof has been
made the settler cannot get his patent; if he
has applied for final proof his request is de-
MED. A special agent visits a land district
and reports a case of fraud. This report
aving been filed, the general land office no
titles the local officers that o hearing will be
granted the settler. But the special agent
must be present, and the hearing cannot take
place until he is ready. In many cases the
special agent pays no attention to tho re-
quest of the settler of the local offices.
The result is that thousands of claims
are held in the general land Office marked
fraudulent" and thousands of settlers are
deprived of their rights. The claimant or his
attorney is not allowed to investigate the
charge of fraud, or to ascertain upon what
ground his patent is withheld. In the course
of few years the settlers witnesses may die
or move away, and when a hearing is finally
ordered he is not ready to make additional
proof. But the worst feature is the delay.
interruptions agents have used their power
in these cases to get money out Of the loan
ing companies. In many cases where proof
is made mortgage is given to loaning
company that he has found several fTaudu-
lent proofs of claims upon which it has placed
loans. The company prefers to settle with
the agent instead of testing the case, though
in many instances the companies let the
matter go to the general land Office and
await the hearing Sometimes q neighbor
having O quarrel with settler quietly noti-
fies the special agent that there was fraud
in the latter's proof and it is held for inves-
tigation. Col. Lounsberry, now in North
Dakota, is under instructions to investigate
these cases reported by former agents and
held in the fraud divisions. The people of
the Northwest will be pleased to know that
he Is doing good work in restoring to the
settlers their rights and reporting for can
collation. lands where actual fraud exists.

The Johnstown relief agent says that there

houses did not own them, and that in such
cases relief will be given in aiding them
to replace their furniture.
The situation since the arrival of the Sioux
commissioners at the Pine Ridge agency
has remained practically unchanged. There
has been no opportunity as yet of placing
any of the chiefs on record, but they will at
first speak i'll opposition, with few excep-
tions though it is probable that the same
method used at Rosebud will result with equal
success here. The more progressive Indians
are the only one who are openly favoring the
bill. The old chiefs evidently tear that land
in severalty will cause independence and con-
sequence loss of prestige and influence with
their bands.

The probability of the almost immediate
signing of Il Russo-Servian military treaty is
growing stronger daily. The Austrian press
profess to have authentic information that
any disturbance of the status quo on the

activity observable in and about the various
Austrian camps during the last week GER

A Child Claimed by Two Mothers.

A sensational scene was enacted in Judge
Outcalts court at Cincinnati. He has had
in hearing and under consideration, for sew
eral months an unusual habeas corpus case,
where two women claim to be mother of the
child, for whom the writ was issued. Miss
Kate Schaller averred that she gave berth
to an illegitimate child and placed it in the
hands of Mrs. Humbser, the midwife, to
dispose of, and that Mrs. Humbser placed it
in the family of W. J. White to be adopted.
Subsequently Miss Schaller wished to recover
possession OF her child, and applied to Mrs.
White, when that lady informed her that
the baby she had was not an adopted child,
but was her own. The testimony before the
court was most conflicting, but Mr.. and Mrs.
White brought many witnesses to show that
the disputed baby was theirs. They have it
in charge during the trial. The judge was
to render the decision, but Mrs. White ap-
peared in court without the child. When
asked by the court where it was. Mrs. White
in a determined manner answered:
Judge Outcalt, was submitted to o severe
examination the other day, and | understood
you were going to decide against me- and
have protected my child. know the coDse-
quences and am here to abide by them, and
if have to stay in prison ten years am
satisfied. so, if at the end of that time, l have
my darling" This reply, of course, made a
sensation. Her attorney promptly disclaimed
having advised this course of action, and
asked that his client have time to reflect.
The court said that ii Mrs. White did not pro-
duce the child she mnst suffer the consequences
of contempt of court. and he allowed her till
noon to consider The resolute mother for
two hours was urged by her attorney and
friends to produce the child, but at the end
of the time she remained firm and went
bravely to Jail under sentence of the court
for contempt. Meantime the Judge withholds
his decision of the merits of the case.

Strange Story About Mrs. sabfn.

A reporter called at Sanford hall, Flush
ing, L. l., where Mrs. Sabin is confined. The
scribe was admitted to the parlor where Dr.
Ferrer an assistant to DR.. Barstow, saw
him.
DR.. Ferrer admitted that Mrs. Sabin was
an inmate of the place, but positively re-
fused to permit the reporter to see her, ex-
planning that, as the institution was a pr-
vate one, the affairs of the patients we're
therefore OF a strictly private nature.
Possibly Mrs. Sabin would like to give
her side of the story" suggested the re-
porter.
Possibly she might, but that is question
for the courts to decide" promptly replied
DR.. Ferrer.
Sabin is not free agent?" interrupted the
reporter.
"You must really excuse me, but, as l
have said before, have nothing to say on
the subject"
Just as the reporter was leaving the
grounds a face bearing q strong resemblance
to that of Mrs. Sabin peered out of one of
the windows on the ground floor and beck
oned frantically for him to return. The re-
porter was about to retrace his footsteps,
when DR.. Ferrer, who was standing on the
porch, pointed to the gate, rudely initiating
that conversation with his patients was an
absolute impossibilty. One of the keepers,
however, Wnen questlOned Dy the reporter,
said Positively no strangers are allowed
in there. Sanford Hall is not a retreat for
the inebriate, but regular insane asylum.
ono hundred dollars week is charged for
the board of each person, and the doctors,
therefore, do not wish to run the risk of los
ing one of their patients, and so they rigidly
exclude all strangers. The lady you are
looking for is here. She is very quiet and
appears to be greatly detected. She takes q
stroll in the park surrounding the asylum
every morning, and appears to be very fond
| of flowers"

Hearing his Death Warrant.

2 A Little Falls, Mimi, Special says: Sheriff
execution of Albert Bulow from Gov. Merriam
Saturday, June 9Th and he read it To the
doomed man, who was affected to tears by
the intelligence that he was to be executed
July 10, 1889. BuIow endeavored TO hide
his feelings under Euise OF apparent stoicism,
but in spite of his best efforts tears weled in
to his eyes as the reading proceeded. The
heaving of his breast and choking in his
throat indicated that he was putting forth O
most extraordinary effort to appear calm,
in which he only partially succeeded. The
prisoners health has been yisibly affected
by his long confinement, and his counte-
nance is somewhat pale. He now has moth
ing to do but reflect upon the crime he has
committed, aud await, as best he can, the
fatal day of execution. The next afternoon
he rallied somewhat, and outwardly appears
to be more calm, and even o sickly smile nov
and then steals over his pale features. The
necessary lumber and other material for the
scaffold is already On the ground, and it
will be erected at the northeast corner of the
Jail, the building forming two sides of the en-
closure, which will be eighteen feet in height
Sheriff Rasicot exhibited considerable emo
tiop while performing the sad duty of read
ing the death warrant to the prisoner. He
will take the precaution of guarding against
the prying eyes of newspaper reporters by
rigidly enforcing the provisions of the law
passed by the last legislature. It is very
doubtful If he can wholly succeed in this, as
public feeling is against such star chamber
proceedings, and somebody will "peepp in
spite of this foolish law. William Rasicot has
charge of the prisoner during the day, and
I'll. B. Schenck looks after him at night as
death watch.

A Little Indian Scare ,

Evan Nicholson, a settler at Mile Lacs
fake MiEn., brought word down that the
Indians at the Mile Lacs lake reservation
families from their claims and murdered IN
old Swede named Magnuson. Magnuson
had managed to crawl to his nearest neigh
Dor, about half a mile away, but was dying
and unable to give any clear account
of the shooting. He was shot twice
through the head and cannot live.
Borg started for Mr.. Briggs place and
Nicholson was dispatched to Mora to tele-
graph the governor for aid. The Indians
have had q dance and been on a three weeks
drunk which eliminated in an attack on the
settlers. No trace could be found of the mis-
sing families, and fears are entertained of u
wholesale slaughter having taken place. The
whites at the lake are panic stricken, as some
bad feelings had been shown lately by the In
dians on account of the emigration coming
in. There is some talk of forming a company
of rangers in Mora should any report OF
further trouble come and assistance be
necessary.
This news was telegraphed to st. Paul,
and Gov. Merriam at once gave orders for
the assembling of the militia but as soon as
the dispatch reached Gen. Ruger, command
ing the department of Dakota United States
army, it was quickly settled that the United
States forces should quell the outbreak.
Accordingly Gen. Ruger ordered three
companies of troops from Fort Smelling to
prepare for the expedition. taking light arms
and ten days ratiOns. When this was done
the militia companies were dispersed, with
orders to hold themselves in readiness Tor
further orders.
A special train of four cars was provided
by the Manitoba railroad, and at midnight
the troops were aboard.
Ex-GOv. Henry NJ. Rice, who knows more
about the Chippewa Indians than any one
else, and who is chairman of the commission
created by the Nelson bill to settle the dit
ferences between the government and the
tribes, said when the reports of an outbreak
were shown him: There were according to
the last census 942 Mile Lacs Indians.
They have reservation of $1,000 acres,
much of which is valuable pine land. By
treaty made with the government in 1855
and renewed in 1864, the Indians reserved
the right to live on the reservation as long
as they were q peace with the whites. There
has always been dispute between the gov
ernment and the Indians about their rights,
and during the last twelve or fifteen years
white men have gone to the reservation and
attempted to pre-empt, locating soldiers
warrants and taking valuable pine lands.
The Indians looked upon this as an invasion
of their rights and matters have been in a
critical condition for some time. The In
dians have got into an unsettled state. They
are poor and badly demoralized. Whisky is
accessible at many points on the borders OF
the reservation, and have no doubt if this
information is correct that the cause
OF the uprising can be directly traced to
whisky.

The Samoan Agreement Signed!
Interesting Latter.

The Samoan Agreement Signed-An
Interesting Letter.
BERLIN, June 14.-The agreement negoti-
ated by the commissioners to the Samoan
conference for the settlement of affairs in
Samoa was signed by all the members of the
conference to-day. America having aban-
doned her principal objection to the agree
ment previously arrived at, the plenipoten-
tiaries had only to make unessential modi-
f1cations in the wording of the draft of the
treaty. The draft guarantees an autonomous
administration of the islands under the Joint
control Of Germany and America, England
acting as arbitrator in the event of differ
ences arising. The SamOans are to elect their
own king and vioeToy, and to be represented
in a senate, composed Of the principal chiefs,
and chambers, elected by the people Samoa
is to have the right of levying duties of every
kind. The treaty also stipUlates that the
Germans shall receive a money indemnity
for their losses. special court will be ap-
pointed to deal with the land question. The
Americans made their adhesion conditional
upon the ratification Of the treaty by tha
United States senate. The status quo will
therefore, obtain in Samoa until December
Mr.. Phelps will carry the treaty to Washing
ton. The Samoan treaty will not be pub
lished until signed by the American govern
ment.
Messrs. Kasson, Bates and Phelps cordially
thanked Count Herbert Bismarck for the
courteous manner in which they had been
treated, and they warmly praised the skill
and tact with which he had presided over
the deliberations of the conference. Sir Ed
ward Malet thanked Count Herbert on he
half Of the English delegates Count Her
bert, in reply, said he hoped they had reached
a final solution of the difficult question.
AMERICANS AHEAD,
LONDON June 15.-The Berlin correspond
ent of the Times says: SIhe Americans have
undoubtedly emerged from the Samoan con-
ference with flying 0olors Germany has to
content herself with much less political pre-
dominance in Samoa than she claimed at
Washington two years ago. This result is
much more due TO the firm and inexorable
attitude of Mr.. Blaine than to any political
leanings of England toward the power which
IL ts ber highest aim to conciliate." The
Times, in an editorial on the Samoan agree
ment says;
Pcrhans it 10 as we'll that Prime Bismarck has
been made to realize that where American inter-
ests are concerned, the American government is
very little affected by many of those considera-
tions which restrain the action OF those
European governments with which he is
more accustomed to deal II is easy
TO see there might be many rea-
sons why 1t would be inexpedient
for ENGLAND to follow the line of policy in re-
ural and necessary for America to pursue. 1t In
not less plain that even Germany must think
twice or thrice before provoking u collision with
America over such question. Therefore we
rejoice at the influence OF America so moderately
aud effectually exerted ~.
