Corruption Discovered in High Places
in Minnesota.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. Estate Senator
W. S. Dedon of the state senatorial COM
mittee. which is investigating the frauds
against the state in the cutting OF pine
on school lands, has just returned from
an extensive cruising through the ceun-
try where the frauds are alleged to have
been committed. He said:
1--WE are now ready with the evidence
necessary to begin suits aggregating
100000 against the various lumber
firms of the state. Up to date we
have uncovered frauds which will
amount TO a million dollars, and the
investigation has cost the state $4,000.
One firm, which has cut over a section,
settled with the state on the basis OF
only 674.000 feet. Our scale of the
s.umps show that over 100000 feet
were actually cut, and the true figure lie
probably 8, 100000 feet. This is O sample
Gaze. After it was cut an employee was
instructed to burn it over and make
clean job OF it. Our report to the next
Legislature will open their eyes TO COR
ruption in high places that they had
not dreamed of. We shall not deal in
glittering generalities, but in cold, hard

BY the Associated Press,
CUMBERLAND, Md. Sept. 6.-Great
excitement was caused here by the dis
covery tof case of sporadic Asiatic
cholera among immigrants from Bremen
en- route to Pittaburg. The man, John
Peter Walthsr, was so i'll that he could
not walk. He was removed from the
train to the immigrant house, and later
to pest house outside the city limits.
where he died. He landed in New
York yesterday. The other emigrants
were cent to Pittsburg in a closed car
and the authorities notified.
PiTrsBURG, Sept. 6.-The emi9rant car
from which a suspected victim of 'chol-
era was taken at umberland, Md, last
night, is now sidetracked ct Shauer sta
ton, few miles from here, on the Bal
timore and Ohio. Nine emigrants are
confined in the car. The health officers
think the man who died was suffering
from cholera morbus or cholorine. To
avoid any risk, however, the csr will BIS
kept in quarantine another "a hours at
least.
WASHINGTON, Sept. GA telegram
was received today by Surgeon. General
Wyman OF the Marine hospital service
from Health Officer Duke OF Cumber-
land, Nd, announcing the death there
last night of John P. Walther, German
immigrant, with symptoms OF Asiatic
cholera. DR.. Wyman wired the officer
to hold post mortem examination and
report the result. DR.. WymRn said:
81 do not believe this man died from
Asistic cholera. There is now no chol-
era in Bremen, the port from which he
is said to have come. There ia no disease
among the other immigrants on the car
detained at Pittsburg.
what 10 the situation with reference
to the disease in Europe?" was asked.
SIT is rather on the increase in Rus
Ella aud ia getting over into Western
Europe, but go far has been confined to
the most southern portions of that coast
and ia most prevalent in Austrc- Hun
gary. This has kept ii away from the
ports whence the emigrants como to
these shores, and as there is rigid con-
sulsr inspection on that side. as we'll as
most thorough quarantine on this, |
am absolutely certain that no case has
gotten into the United States this year.
There have been two cases caught at
quarantine, but have not amounted to
any thing. 1t will be practically impos-
sible for the epidemic to get in unless
there ia relaxation of vigilance on the
part OF the health officers and consuls.
By the 1st of September we were piac-
tically over the worst space, and it looks
as if the great danger OF coRtagion ia
past"
New YoRR, Sept. 6.-Gustsv Schwab,
agent of the North German Lloyd
Steamship company, in whose steamer,
she Elbe. John P. Walther. who died at
Cumberland. Md, of supposed Aaiatio
cholera, was a passenger, scouts the
idea that Walther Was q victim Of that
disease.
Had ID been Asiatic cholera" said
he, ''ths disease would have made its
appearance long before. The period OF
incubation ia seldom more than six
days, and 30 either Walthner or the per-
son from whom he contracted the dis
