WASHINGTON, March 2l.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE 1.-THE following special
was sent to the Chicago News last night:
Secretary Window has been asked to with
hold mis- approval of the report of an agent
of the treasury sent to Omaha some time
ago to select site for the government build
ing in that city. 1t appears that this gentle
man has reported in favor of the purchase
of plat of ground, large portion of which
belongs TO the estate of the Folsoms and Of
which Mrs. Cleveland is one of the principal
heirs. The property is valuable, but not so
valuable, according to the opinion of Omaha
experts. as to warrant the price to be paid
for it, nor is 1t considered the best site for
the building. and at least two others
more advantageously located have been
offered for less money. While Mr.. Window
does not wish to stand in the way of the sale
Of Mrs. Cleveland's property to the govern
ment, he will not approve the purchase until
the case has been thoroughly investigated.
IT is stated that the agreed upon price by the
treasury agent is at least 100000 more than
the property is worth"

PIrTsBURG, March 2l.--A Wheeling dis
patch says: There was a remarkable occur
renee in tho United States court to-daya
which shows the futility of any further at
tempt by tho government to secure convc-
tions in election cases, at least with the pres
ent panel. William Meyers, alleged
to be minor, was on trial and
this evening the jury came into the
court and said there was no possible chance
of an agreement being reached. The court
said il would send them back, when the fore
man said that some of the jury were willing
to convict if they could be assured in ad-
vance what the punishment would be. The
court sharply reproved the jury for this at
tempt To compromise the case. The jury
again retired and within five minutes re-
turned a verdict of not guilty. The sensa-
tion was tremendous, and the verdict is the
talk Of the city tonight. 1t is not probable
that any more cases will pe tried by the dis
trict attorney, although seventy indictments
are in his hands.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The following
telegram was sent at 4 :45 this afternoon:
To the commanding general, Division Of
the Missouri, Chicago The act of congress
approved March 2, 1889, provides in sub

Seminole Indians until SAID lands are opened

dent, aud that no person violating this pro-
vision shall ever be permitted to enter any
of said lands or acquire any rights thereto
The president directs that the officers under
your command cause the people to be fully
informed Of these provisions of the law, and
that they take ana preserve the names Of all
persons who may enter the territory in vio-
lation of this provision, 50 that the same may
be enforced by the land department when
said lands are lawfully opened for settle
ment.

New York, March 21.-TSpecial Telegram
to The BEE. The Herald prints u long
story this morning which says that the new
Eldorado in Southern California is ex
ploded, and goes on to show how it practi-
cally was another scheme of the International
Land company to boom their worthless
tracts of land and enable them to dispose of
large portions of it. This International
company owes its existence, as is known, to
efforts of shrewd old German named Louis
Huller, and an ex-Chicago real estate man
named Sessions, VINO several years ago Sc
cured n grant of $1,000, 900 acres of land
from the Mexican government practically
for nothing. These two gentlemen came
north and organized the Internatio n al Land
company with brilliant prospects. Sev-
eral well-known public men have
been interested in the affair, among
them Senator Plumb, of Kansas
Robert Garrett, Frank Hatton and j. Pier
pont Morgan It's stock has, however, been
subject to many fluctuations, and it is be-
lieved the majority of it is now in the hands
of Englshmen. Big efforts were made to in
duce colonization, and it is said many thou
sand acres were sold for twenty five cents
an acre. These sales, however, were to
spectators ana not to settlers The Mexi-
can government made the grant for the pur-
pose of colonization, and the result was that
not long ago an investigation was made into
the methods. of the company. About this
time Huller and Sessions were discharged
from the service of the company, and soon
after the startling stories Of fabulous gold
discoveries in Lower California began to at
tract population from everywhere. 1t
has now developed, however that gold
is not being lifted in paying
quantities. the boom has burst and the COM
pany is left with Its millions of acres of rock
and cactus still on its hands. If there was
any Sailing" of the mining property 1t
seems to have been done by green hands and
did not stick. International stock may be
expected Tn take a tumble. To add to all
this, as previously announced in the press
dispatches Huller has been arrested in Mex
leo for misstatements regarding the funds
and operations of the gigantic concern. Tho
company is also looking sharply after
Brother Sessions. Altogether the affairs of
the International company appear to be in
somewhat of muddle.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-The senate met
at / p. m, and on motion Of Mr.. ingalls,
proceeded to the consideration OF executive
business with closed doors.
After q brief executive session, and with
out opening the doors, recess was taken
until 2 o'clock, at which time adjournment
was taken until Tomorrow
In the executive session this afternoon Mr..
Sherman announced that President Harri-
son had informed him that he (the president)
would be so far along with his nominations
that the senate might conveniently adjourn
next week. 1t is the expectation that the
special session will end on Thursday or Fri
day next. In order to assist the president in
his intention the senate did not take the
usual three days recess to-day, but will
meet again tomorrow. This notification
makes it practically certain that no legisla-
tive business will be transacted before ad-
journMent. There will probably be, however,
some discussion of the resolutions introduced
yesterday b4 Mr.. Butler, declaring that the
senate has tpower to elect president pro
tempore for rhervice during the entire term of
congress, q decision by the senate being de-
sired by nnnlber of senators upon that dis

In executive session today the senate con-
firmed number of territorial and postal
nominations, comprising all that up to date
have been reported from the committee. The
list is, however, withheld, the senate having
failed to suHpend operation of the rule which

trouble arose out of the stoning of polire.

tically suspended and the streets thr0nged
with idlers. The quarrel of the boys was
assumed by the men and a general fight Gu.
sued. The report was current that China
man had been killed by the police. Immedi-

became alarming 300 soldiers from the neigh

but their presence only served To excite the
derision OF the mob. Undeterred by the
soldiers, the gates OF the United States and
British consulates were assaulted and the
British consulate burned. With much din.
Guilty the two consuls, with their families
