FALSE INFORMATION.
A Special Agent OF the Interior Department
Detected in the Acr.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1.-THE Post
yesterday published an article TO the eject
that Ivan Petrof, q special agent of the
state department, and formerly in the con-
sus bureau, had been detected in the act of
furnishing false Information TO his gov
eminent in relation to the seal industry in
Alaska. which is embodied in the prepara-
tion Of the Behring sea case for arbitrs-
tion.
Continuing, the article says that the
Behring sea case investigation disclosed
the name of Ivan Petrof more frequently
than any other author upon the literature
on the resources of Alaska. Upon inquiry
for him being instituted, he was found 20
be a special agent of the census bureau.
1t was also learned that he mad taken the
census Of 1850 and 1890 and 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. PetroH
was summoned from the census bureau to
the state department. and entrusted with
the examination into the compilation OF
certain facts relating TO the sealing indus
try.
Some time after his work was submitted
special attorneys, while examining tne
data, discovered an error. A closer inves
tigalion showed that nearly the entire in
formation furnished by Petroff was falsi-
tied, ana in manner which left no doubt
OF bis Wiliful intent TO deceive. The infor-
nation 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
was not the keystone by any means. The
British government was at once notified
that the United States mad been led into
errors in the statement and informed the
British government that's correction would
be made when the counter case, as the sup
Elementary papers sre termed, was SUD-
mitteC.
The discovery created considerable ex-
element in Official circles, the question
naturally arising il Petrof's work was
falsihed ia one instance are not his census
figures unreliableg This is an inquiry that
can only be answered after a tedious and
perhaps expensive investigation. Curl
ously enough there is no law upon the
statute books 10 this case and Petrof will
simply loss his government position. He
is a Russian By BIRTH and is sixty years old
He lived forty years In Alaska. The OIL
Gals of the state department and the int
rior department when shown tue article
this evening affirmed it's correctness but
declined 20 say anything further.

BLooMINGrON, Ills, Nov. 1.-The pent-
up enthusiasm of local Democrats was
turned bose tonight in q ratification of the
election of Cleveland and Stevenson,
especially the latter, as he is resident OF
this city. Nightfall was the signal for
lighting bonfres in different parts of the
city. and firing cannons aud anvils. Dem
ocrats began footing horns. and thousands
Of people congrsgatsd about the business
portion of the city. About O'CLOCK they
formed in line, aud with bands playing
marched to the residence Of Vice-Presi-
dent-elect Stevenson. where General
Stevenson. Hon. James Mckenzie Of Kan
kakee. Hon. James S. Ewing and Hon.
Owen Scott entered the carriages and
joined the line. After marching about
Franklin park, the line hsaded for Durley
theatre, which WAS soon filed to its ut
most capacity.
General Stevenson was introduced, and
made speech Of considerable length prln-
cipally Of felicitous nature thanking the
assemblage for the reception and his cOun-
trymen for the honor they had bestowed
upon him. After commencing the ability
and nigh personal character Of the gentle
men on the opposing ticket, he referred to
the good feeling during the campaign and
said: MAY we not hope that the great
political struggle OF 1892 will inaugurats a
new era in American politics, ana that
calm discussion and respectful considera-
ton for the opinions of our opponents will
characterize presidential contests of the
futurslp He then reviewed the tenets Of
the Democratic faith and paid high COM
pliment TO Grover Cleveland, closing with
the expression OF his earnest endeavOr to
discharge the duties OF the high Office to
which he was called. Several other speak
ers followed with short talks.
Among the stacks OF letters which have
accumulated for Mr. Stevenson since cleo
ton day be today found one from Presi-
dent elect Cleveland mailed several days
ago. It was mainly OF a private nature.
ana Mr.. Stevenson declined to make it
public. Mr.. Stevenson said tonight TO an
Associated Press Representative that be
had not given out for publication any
interview regarding a special session of
Congress-; that ne had repeatedly declined
to DC interviewed on the subject, and for
the reason that Mr.. Cleveland as president
elect was the proper person TO ask on this
matter.

PROHIBITION DEAD.
Kansas viii Hold a New Constitutional Con-
ventiOn.

Kansas VIII Hold New Constitutional Con-
Yention.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 1.-TWO surprising
results of the election in Kansas which
hitherto have escaped notice are beginning
to attract general attention. One is the
carrying OF the proposition to hold con-
shtutiOnal convention and the other is ees-
satiOn Of the enforcement OF the prohlbitory
laws. In the esgerness to elect the state
and electoral ticket the Repu blicans paid
no attention to the matter of the constitu-
tional convention, and it was carried By de-
fault
On their part, the object OF the conven-
ton is the revision Of the state constitution
so IS to eliminate the Objectionable and OBJ
solete features and 10 add new and needed
provisions. The convention will be taken
advantage Of BY the anti-prohibitiOn faction
of all parties to attempt the elimination Of
the prohibition amendment, snd the hottest
kind of fight on the question is antici-
pated. Lorenzo Lewelling, the new third
party governOr-elect, has always been op-
posed TO prohibition and has announced
that the enforcement Of laws must here
after be left with local officers, and the
state will not use the power in It's hands 10
enforce the law on localities. This in effect
means local option, and already the liquor
industry throughout the state is booming.
Saloons have been opened in many cities
and towns, and Kansas today is practically
wet state"

an Important Circular Letter from Arch
bishop Fabre.
MoNrREAY, Nov 14-These Is a good
deal of interest felt in French Catholic
circles over an important circular letter
from Archbishop FaOre which was read in
all churches in the diocese yesterday.
About the time of the famous Guyote
scandal, two weekly publications viz:
Canada Repue and Ecocb DIES Deur Montdgnes
became quite violent over alleged abuses
amongst the clergy and for some time it
has beed expected the church authorities
would take action. His grace states
that he had hoped that precious warn
jngs would have prevented q repiti-
tion of these attacks, but such ia not the
case and he continues as follows: 1.-THE
holy name of God being invoked, we there
fore condemn by authority two publica-
tons printed ia our DIOCESE, viz: La Canada
Reuue and the Ecocb Des Deu1 Montdgnes,
and forbid, until further orders. all faith
full, under pain of refusal of the sacre-
ment, to print or place or put on sale, or to
receive these two dangerous sheets, or to
write for them, or to encourage them in
any manner" The same was ordered to
be read in all the parish churches.

This unrest among the Indians, says the
commissioner, was undoubtedly created by
those who hoped to be benefited in some
way. During the last campaign some IN

political purposes and if trouble occurs

1t further announces in the estimation, at
