IVAN PETROFF.s DUPLIcIrY.

Government Discovers That He Falsified
Reports on Alaskan Industries.
WAsHISGToN CITY, Nov. 13.-The Post
today published an article to the effect
that Ivan Petroff, special agent of the
state department, and formerly In the CEN
sus bureau, has been detected in the act of
furnishing false information to this gov
ernment in relation to the industries in
Alaska which are embodied in the prepa-
ratIOns for the Bering sea case for arbitra-
ton. Continuing, the article says: When
the state department began preparing the
Bering sea case the investigation disclosed
the name of Ivan Petroff more frequently
than any other author upon literature on
the resources OF Alaska. Upon inquiry for
him being instituted he was found to be .
special agent in the census bureau. IL is
also learned that he had taken the census
III 1880 and 1890 and had written a mono
graph issued by the bureau of statistics of
the treasury department on Alaska. In
addition he also assisted Bancroft in the
preparation of the latter's History Of
Paraguay" Petrof was summoned from
the census bureau to the state department
and entrusted with the examination into
and compilation of certain facts relating
to the sealing industries. Some time after
his work was submitted to the department
one OF the governments special attorneys,
while examining the data, discovered an
error.
A closer investigation showed that
nearly the entire information furnished
by Petrotf vas falsified and in a manner
which left no doubt of willful intent to
deceive. The information had already
been incorporated in the United States
case as sent to London, and formed part
OF the arch upon which the governments
claim rested, although it Is not the key
stone by any means. The British govern
ment was at once notified that the United
States had been led into error in its state
ments, and was informed that a correc-
tion would be made when the counter
case, as the supplementary papers
are termed, is submitted. The discov-
cry created considerable excitement
in official circles. The question
is very naturally asked: If Petroff's
work is falsified in one instance are not
his census figures also unreliable? This
is an inquiry that can only be answered
after tedious and perhaps expensive IN
vestigatlon. Curiously enough there is no
law upon the statute books touching this
case, and Petroff will simply lose his gov
ernment position. He is . Russian by
birth and 60 years old. He has lived for
forty years in Alaska. The officials of the
state and interior departments. when
shown the article this evening, affirmed
its correctness, but declined to say any,
thing further.

CLEVELAND AND ANTI.SNAPPERS.
The President Elect will Not Snub Them
While FavOring Tammany.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 13.-Yesterday the i'm
portant news leaked out that President
Elect Cleveland had promised to be the
guest of honor at dinner given by the
Reform Club early in December. This
organization was the nucleus Of the May
convention movement, and the announce
ment that Cleveland would attend the BAN
quet caused intense satisfaction among the
men who went to Syracuse. They took it
as a sure indication that Cleveland does
not propose to snub the anti-snappers in
the slightest degree. Since the election
Cleveland has not indicated any intention
of showing favor to any particular person
or organization aside from the fact that
Tammany Hall will not have the slightest
reason to complain of treatment in the mat
ter of Federal patronage.
The dinner of the Reform Club will be
held at Madison Square garden on Satur-
day evening. December 80. Cleveland will
be the principal speaker. followed by other
prominent orators. Arrangements are now
being made to have the occasion equal to
the famous dinner after the election in
1890, at which Cleveland, Carlisle. Boies,

speakers,

A Question That Is Puxxling Newspap<
Reporters OF CALIFORNIA;.

Reporters OF California.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 13.-Society cir
cles have been startled BY a rumor which
spread like wildtire that Col. Gustav
Pabst. Oldest son of Capt. Fred Pabst.
president of the worid-famous Pabst
Brewing Company, had been married at
San Francisco to Miss Margaret Mather
on Wednesday last. Capt. Pabst admitted

further.

fore Margaret Mather began her engage
ment here three weeks ago, G. A. Pabst,
son of a wealthy Milwaukee brewer, ap-
peared at the California hotel and engaged
a suite of rooms, Nos. 600, COZ and
6O4 When Miss Mather arrived tho
rooms were occupied by herself and niece
and Pabst. 1t was reported that Pahst
and Miss Mather had been married, bus
both denied the story. Miss Mather's
niece, however, confided to friend th1k'
they had been married near Chicago
shortly after the actress had secured
q divorce from her husband, Fnil
Haberkorn. While here Pabst was very
devoted to the beautiful actress and
was constantly in her company. He
attended every performance and when
Miss Mather was taken i'll was unremit-
tent in his attentions to her. The papers
here commented on young Pabst's devo-
tion to the actress, but she said
Pabst was merely a friend. 1t was
learned at the California hotel that Pabst
registered there October % and engaged
the rooms as before stated. Miss Mather
arrived with her company tho next day,
October q. Pabst remained only two
days and left October "a ON business trip
to the East, as was stated at the time. He

Mather for Los Angeles.
Los ANGELES, Nov. 13.-Margaret Mather
was seen at her hotel today by reporter
and asked about her reported marriage
with q wealthy Milwauk eean. She said
the report was absolutely without founda-
ton; that 1t was no surprise to her, as she
had already been married several times
according to the stories circulated, but that
they were not married. Pabst expressed
himself as willing and anxious to marry
her, but said that SO far she had refused to
be united to him. They could not have
been married last Wednesday in San Fran
CISCO as reported in Chicago. as Miss
Mather left here last Sunday to play an
engagement in the southern part of the
state, and has appeared in Fresno and Los
Angeles during the week. If the couple
were marrid here they have kept the
secret well, as the newspapers could
obtain nothing about il. The fact that
Miss Mather's niece, who accompanied
her on her trip. had admitted that her
aunt was married to Pabst, was ascer-
tanned late tonight after rumors of the
marriage had reached here from Chicago

occurred to friend, in explanation of tho
intimacy existing between her aunt and

BIG MASS MEETING OF woRKMEN

and Strikes His Omcer-Cabinet
Crisis In Portugal -Rumors Of New
Samoan Treaty.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-At Trafalgar square
today, the anniversary of Bloody Sunday,
was the scene of q great popular demon
stration in celebration of the restoration
by the Liberal government of the right to
hold public meetings in the square and to
give notice to the demands Of the unem-
ployed poor that the government and local
boards would start all needed public i'm
provements so as to assist in relieving the
existing destituton. Although the MORN
ing opened auspiciously. in the afternoon
the weather was unfavorable. Nothing
daunted however, the legiOns OF un-
employed, of socialists and of other
sympathizers marched in bodies
to the square. A band sta
toned there greeted the arriving pro-
cessions, the first three of which were So
cial Democratic bodies. They had red
banners and were accompanied by num-
Der of girls waving red flags. They took
mp position at the base Of the Nelson
monument, about the three sides OF which
platforms had been constructed. ALI the
professions were amply provided with
banners and bands, the Marseillaise and
other revolutionary airs being played.
The windows and roofs of the buildings
overlooking the square were crowded with
spectators. There was noticeable
absence of police within the square, but
hundreds on foot and numerous mounted
men were stationed at convenient
spots out of sight and the ambu-
lance corps with stretchers and
parsphernalia was on hand. Scotland
Yard was also ready for an emergency.
The square was filled with vast con-
course of people by $50. The crowd was
eminently an orderly one. and traffic was
little impeded. The majority of the pro-
cessionists were well-dressed workmen.
They appeared almost lost in the great
crowd Of spectators drawn by curiosity.
Among the forty speakers who ad-
dressed the assemblage were John Burns.
C. A. Conybeare James Keir-Hardv, NJ.
P, Ben Tillet and others. Owing to
the noise, only those near the
speakers could hear them. Burns,
who moved q resolution anent the
unemployed. made a moderate speech. He
advocated an eight-hour day and the es-
tablishment of labor bureaus. Conybeare
urged his hearers to compel the govern
ment to give the people full control of the
police. He deprecated the talk about the
use of dynamite to secure the people the
restoration of their rights. Other speakers
followed and at LIS the resolutions were
put simultaneously from all the platforms
and declared carried, though the hubbub
prevented the words of the resolutions
being heard. The square was then quickly
cleared and the procession took up the
march to their respective districts. At the
head of one procession was graybeard on
horseback, representing the red spirit.
