Efforts of the Southern Pacific to
Acquire Mineral Lands.
ARREST OF AN ARMY CONTRACTOR
Extent of the Casualties Caused by
the Earthquakes.
MANY INCENDIARY FIRES

ASHLAND, Ore, November 19.-The
Southern Pacific Company is trying to Sc
cure patents to all unoccupied mineral
lands lying in the odd sections within the
limits of the railroad grant, covering the
most valuable part of the southern Ore
gon mining district. The railroad has re-
Gently been making surveys of lands and
filing lists with the land office at Roseburg
for the purpose of securing title. Public
meetings have been held in several towns,
at which the action of the railroad com
pany has been denounced.
BY the terms of the charter of the Ore
gon and California Railroad Company.
granted July "a 1856, the government gave
to the company all of the odd-numbered
miles wide on each side of the railroad,
but stipulated that mining lands be ex-
cepted, and, of course, that no vested rights
in other lands by reason of prior posses
sion, or otherwise, be interfered with.
The railroad surveyors have lately
reached the mining district west of Rogue
river valley, and that is the cause of all
the trouble. survey is made of unoccu-
pied lands and 1t Is filed in the usual form
as non-mineral.
The people claim that the land is wholly
unfit for agricultural use, and that the
company is simply trying to get hold of
valuable mineral lands under the provis-
ions of its non-mineral charter.
Special committees of two men have been
appointed from each mining district, and
they are directed to take counsel with
those in their districts who have protests
and contests to file, and to procure such
Information regarding mineral lands in
their districts as may be of use TO the gen.
eral committee. large number of con-
tests will be filed at once.

From the London Times.
To the Editor of the Times: SRA few
days ago a lady who styles herself the
Comtesse de Fremont wrote to me asking
me to allow her to interview" me for st.

self at the mercy of the good taste and
discretion of this lady (who is known to me
by repute), 1 replied politely-but evasfvely
to the effect that my terms for an inter
view for publication were twenty guineas.
This morning L received the subjoined let
ter, which will, perhaps. be held to fully
Justify my course Of action in practically
declining the honor which the Comtesse de
Fremont proposed to confer upon me. /

w. S. GILBERT.
The Comtesse de Fremont presents her
COMPILING nts to Mr.. w. S. Gilbert and In
reply to his answer to her request for an
interview for st. Paurs." in which he
states his terms twenty guineas for that
privilege, begs to say that she anticipates

PLANS OF THE SILVER MEN.
VIII Form n New Party If the Repub-
Iicnns Reject Them.

VIII Form n New Party If the Repub-
Iicans Reject Them.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, November 10
The Gary S. D.. correspondent of the Jour-
nal wires as follows:
1t would scarcely be expected that infor-
nation revealing a great national con-
spiracy to rule or ruin the republican party
should be found in this unimportant village.
Nevertheless, my information is so decisive
and thoroughly authentic that / have no
doubt of the truth of what l have to tell.
My informant Is a gentleman of veracity,
who is acting as amanuensis to one of the
leaders in the movement, and have long
known him to be reliable In short, then,
the story he tells is this:
For several months an understanding has
existed among the leading men of the silver
states that an emphatic demard shall be
made that the republican platform of 1896
shall contain an uneQuivocal decision in
favor of unqualified free coinage of silver
and thet in the event of failure of the re-
publicans to so declare a new party move
ment shall forthwith be sprung, with a
two-plank platform. declaring simply for
protection and free coinage.
The management of the movement is
largely in the hands Of Senators Jones,
Stewart and Pettiglew. and they are look
ing to Senator Cameron as a presidential
candidate in the event of the birth Of a new
party. The results of the recent election
have given the leaders renewed confidence,
AS they now believe they will be able to
absorb the remnants of the populists and
secure through the protection plank the
adhesion of the labor vote of the east. Thus
they hope to centralze the entire free silver
strength and much Of the labor vote of the
country.
My informant is positive in the declara-
ton that the republican party will be
forced to either adopt the silver plank or
be destroyed. and this intention to rule or
ruin Is fundamental tenet of the move
ment. and 1t is even said that Senator
Cameron has already consented to head the
revolt.

The BOY Who Stirred Up Two COnti-
nents III in Texas.

NEW YORK, November 19.-Edward

ing school in France, led the police of Paris
a chase by disappearing from the train be-
tween st. Lazarre station, in Paris, and
Colombes last January, is the hero of an
other missldventure. He now lies i'll in the
Portland Hospital of Dallas. Tex, and his
mother, Mrs. Theodore Conkling, has gone
post haste to his bedside from her home
in the Hotel Marlborough.
At the time OF the French affair the police
sought for him for three months, and then
decided that a body found in the Seine was
that of the young American school boy.
His mother partially identified the body.
About two months later the boy was found
alive. He had become dissatisfied with the
school at which he was studying.
His mother then brought him back to
America, and he was sent on visit to
Texas the guest of Col. Hughes, On a
ranch at ChildreSs.
The boy, according to his parent (his
mother has married second time) Is worth
nearly half a million dollars, the value OF
the estate left by his father, Jack Web
ster, who was a member of the produce
exchange at the time of his death.
Although only eighteen years old, young

TERRORIZED by FIREBUGS.
Incendiary Band at Work mt Spring.
field, Ill.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, November ia
reign of terror has been instituted in this
city by incendiaries. They have destroy
ed about twenty stables and outhouses
during the past ten days, and on Saturday
night four fires were burning at once, and
the entire fire department was busy. Sew
eral horses and much valuable property
have been burned. The police have so far
been unable to detect the perpetrators.
Last night climax was reached in a bold
attempt at murder. James Brennan, a
young man, living on Carpenter street,
went to his stable to feed his horses and
found two men setting fire to the barn.
He started to give the alarm, when he
was seized and choked into insensibility
He made one cry that was heard by Percy
Casereilgh, a neighbor, who ran to his
rescue, dragged him out of the burnin 2
building and extinsuished the fire. The
firebugs escaped.

A Prominent Los Angeles Man Charg-
ed With Embcxxlement.

DENVER, Col, November 19.-James w.
Payne. a pI eminent citizen of Los Angeles,
and a contractor Of cereal supplies for the
United States military posts west of the
Mississippi river was arrested last night at
a hotel in this city on a charge of embezzle-
mcnt and felony. The arrest was made at
the talcgra phic request of Chief of Police
Glass of Los Angeles.
The specific charge against Payne is en-
bezzlement of moneys received on account
of his contract from chief quartermaster OF
the department of the Colorado, Major h.
b. Atwood, with intent to defraud his
bondsmen. Payne has had g. contract for a
number of years to supply many military
posts in the est with cereal supplies HIS
present CONT act amounts to over $4,000.
On his bond, to secure his fulfllment of the
contract are two prominent citizens OF Los
Angeles.
1t is said that some time ago he borrowed
some money of them. promising to pay them
out of the money received from the War
Department In order that they might be
doubly secured for the loan he gave them
power of attorney to open his mail and hold
any drafts or remittance that it might con-
tain. This arrangement seemed perfec thy
agreeable to the bondsmen.
ACC ording to the detectives who arrested
him, and the allegation that Is the basis OF
the criminal charges Payne shortly after
master General Atwood that there were
many men of his name in Los Angeles, and,
in order that there might be no miscarriage
in the delivery of his letters, he directed
that future drafts might be sent to him at
a new address.
MAJOR Atwood in reply sent him a draft
for 1850. His bondsmen did not learn of
this action ON the part of the contractor
until their suspicious were aroused by re-
CelNing no letters addressed to him bearing
the government stamp. They instituted an
inquiry and learned that one of the period
ical payments on account of the contract
was overdue, and a telegraphic inquiry
was sent to the military headquarters in
this city to ascertain his address. The an
swer revealed his action, and they took
steps to secure themselves.
Payne in the meantime left California for
Colorado. He arrived in this city on SatUr-
Gay night. He denied the charge of en-
beZzlement strenuously.
II DO not see," he said, how they can
charge me with embeZzlement, as l only
used my own money. ! gave my bondsmen
a power OF attorney. but that did not pre-
vent me from attending to my personal
business, nor subjugate my individual liber-
ties. The drafts were my own personal
property, and 1 Cashed them as SUCH.

The Torpedo Boat Ericsson Leaves
New London.

NEW LONDON, Conn, November 10
The little torpedo boat Ericsson went out
again early today for her official speed
trial. The weather is clear, with a light
northwest wind blowing, which is hot OK
pected TO interfere with the trial. 1t is
anticipated that the wind will increase in
force slightly late this afternoon but il is
thought that the speed trial of the torpedo
boat will be finished early and will not be
materially affected by the winds After
her speed trial is finished her steering gear
will be thoroughly tested and all of her
machinery examined 1t is not expected
that she will return to this harbor until
about o'clock this afternoon.
