AN ENORMOUS LOSS.
Gigantic Timber Frauds Being Un-s
earthed by Wisconsin Omeials.

Gigantic Timber Frauds Being I'M
earthed by Wisconsin Oficials.
MADISON, Wis, June 26.-The state
land commissioners have during the
past three months, been investigating
the subject of trespass on timber lands,
and have unearthed great frauds. Mil
lions upon millions OF feet Of pine tim-
Der have been cut By various individuals
off public lands with no authority what
ever. Two millions were stolen from q
single township in the northwestern
part Of the state within the past two
years, and the commonwealth detectives
found many logs with the thieves mill
marks on them lying where they fell.
The robberies have been going on for .
dozen years and the extent of the loss to
the state Is simply enormous. Suits
will be instituted at once by the attor-
ney general against numerous iudivid-
uals for the recovery Of the value Of the
timber stolen.
Tho state land commissioners are 10th
- yet to give many details regarding
the cases Tor the reason that they are not
quite ready to institute suits, but they
admit that there is no way Of knowing
the extent Of the robberies, a they have
beon going on for fifteen or twenty
years, and many. forest fires have oc-
CURED in the meantime to obliterate all
traces even of stuInps that remained.
But the state has no doubt lost tens and
hundreds of millions of feet OF timber.
With pine timber worth s. or $40 per
thousand the loss, it wM be seen,
Must Be Simply enormous.
Few names of the alleged trespassers
can be obtained. Weyerhauser is said
to have got hold of some of the stolen
timber, but it does not follow that he
knows of the manner in which it was
obtained. Nearly all the Saltwater
lumbermen are said to be involved,
as well as some at La Crosse. Even
the late surveyor general OF Minnesota
h reputed to have certified 10 himself
owning some logs, whish, Il b claimed,
came OF of the public domain. The
state detectives have been at Saltwater
considerable Of Late and obtained much
discriminating evidence there
Where tho Fhsfts Oecarres.
The chief investigation thus fnr con-
Quoted by the commonwealth detectives
are in townships 8, 8, 70, II and IL, In
range 40 west. These townships are
Just above Hayward, On the northern
limits Of Burnett and Sawyer counties
and on the creeks which form the head
waters Of the st. Croix river, section
that is the chief reliance for timber for
the Saltwater mill men, bat extensive
trespass has also occurred on tbs state
park in Oneida county at the head
waters Of the Wisconsin river.

LONDON, June S0.--As evidence of the
popularity of the Prince of Wales, it
may be stated that the leves held by the
prince on Saturday was one Of the most
brilliant ever held in Queen Viotpria,s
reign, and was attended by more than
the usual number of the better class of
nobility. The prince appeared inthe
best Of spirits, and had evidently made
up his mind to be more democratic in
the future. He smiled in his winning
way, and there was an utter absence Of
the stolid hauteur which the prince
used 70 wear to such effect.

PARNELL'S MARRIAGE.

LONDON, June 26.-The Parnel-
lites profess confidence that the mar
riage will restore their leader to his
position. This however, is not gen.
orally believed. AS for his social
position, Parnell never had any,
because he meyer mixed in society,
and his marrige will, his opponents
think, make no difference in the at
titute of the Irish clergy toward
him. Mrs. Parnell was seen at
Brighton on Tuesday by a reporter,
who says she looked as charming as
she ever did in her life. The polling
for the Carlow vacancy will take
place July 7, and Mr.. Parnsll will
take an active part in the contest, as
he is said to feel personal interest
in carrying the district, which has
been heretofore regarded as one of
his strongholds.
