COVERING UP A MINE.
State Auditor Dunn Thinks He Scents =
Zig Conspiracy.

State Auditor Dunn Thinks He scents I.
Zig Conspiracy.
ST. PAUL, June 26.-Is there a con
spiracy OF foot TO defraud the state of
minnesota out Of q valuable iron mine?
This Is the question which is agitating
State Auditor Dunn at. the present
time. There are certain indications
which seem to give an affirmative
answer to the question. 1t concerns a
tract of land in Cook and Lake coun-
ties. This and, according to the field
hotcs OF the government surveyors is
more than halt swamp. aud. therefore,
belongs to the state Of Minnesota. A
number OF squatters hav.- been per-
mitted by the land Officials at Duluth
to file upol it. State Auditor Damn
has commenced contests on the Ian /.
The cases Were argued before the pu-
luth land oAicsrs a lew DAYS ago, bat
no decision ..a, as yet been maue. Mr..
Dunn has. however, msiea
singuia aud sig ,idc,nt Discovery
in the matter. A:tempting to locate
the disputed lands Oh a state map lie
found that they made a continuous
strip or some miles III length, running
from the northeast to the southwest.
following the general trend of ircn
the opinion that the Du.ush and Iron
Range railroad is at the bottom of the
affair; that the sq9atters have been EN-
ployed by the month to Ale upon the
land, and If they are permitted to prove
up the land will b. immediately con-
veyed to their employers. Il. H. Por.
ter is a director of tho road. He is
chairman of the executive committee
OF the Illinois Steel company. 1t would
be . very handy arrangement for the
railroad to own the mine and have the
job Of conveying its product to the lake,
there to be shipped to the steel com.
pany's works by water. If there is a
mine there and the steel company
should want its product, its wner
ship Is q matter Of Importance. If the
state secures it the steel company will
have to pay q royalty Of 20 cents per
ton for the ore. If it practically owned
the mine there would be no royalty to
pay. ....
Has Had the Land Examined
A significant thing about the matter
Is that in the contest before the Duluth
land officers the parties representing
the government refused to be bound by
the field notes OF the United States
surveyors, claiming that they had been
bought up by the railroad companies to
report the land as being swampy, when
in fact it is dry land. Mr.. Dunn has
had the land examined by surveyors
employed by him and they report that
b field notes are substantially correct.
These contests have put the state to
great expense, lu5 Mr.. Dunn says that
he proposes to ,ee the thing through to
the end. II the state owns the land he
says he Is gong to secure it ii it takes
an appeal to the court Of last rAs"~-

SILVER AGITATION
Prospects for Another Confer
ence Are Considered
Brighter.
BRITISH GOVERNMENT CHANGE
Likely to Help the Matter
Along-Status of lNego- y
r,.. .tiations. .da,

WASHINGTON, June 26. There Is ap-
parently considerable confusion as 70
the prospects Of an international con-
ference to consider the rehabilitation OF
silver to be called on the initiative of
Germany. This is due to the conflict
ing reports that have been received and
also apparently to complications Of the
question as it presents itself in Ger
many.
Those who have given attention to
the progress of the agitation in Ger
many say that Chancellor Won Hohen.
lobe announced in the beginning that
Germany's action in the matter would
depend upon two circumstances. The
first Of these was that the German state
legislative bodies should instruct for
the issuance Of the call, and the second
that there III. +
Should He = Substantial Agreement
among the powers as to.the terms Of
the call. The latest report makes it
appear that q majority Of the federal
governments want the conference, and
desire that Germany should issue the
call for it. It is understood now that
accepting this action on the part Of the
different states in the light Of an in
struction, the chancellor will proceed to
negotiate with the other European pow
ers ~ to the terms Of the call. The
United States have made known their
Wishes in this respect, SO far as the leg
islati re branch Of the government can
act in the resolution appointing con-
g%ressional delegates. In this resolution
provision was made that the United
States should bs represented only in
case the conference should be called to
provide for q
Restoration of Bimetallism.
When the question was before the
Prussian diet, an effort was made by
Chancellor Hohenlohe to amend the
resolution, 20 as to leave out the re-
quirement that the call SHOULD be on
these lines, but it failed. II the other
federal German states have taken the
same position as Prussia, the chancel-
lor. tits held, will be virtually pledged
to vote Germany for a call on a basis
of a return to the bimetallic system.
It then remains to be determined
whether the other powers will accept
this basis, and especially what England
may do in the premises. The advo-
Gates ofssan international understanding
feel that the change of administration
in England will be in the interest of
the movement and they are upon the
whole considerably encouraged over
| the outlook for another conference.

The fire broke out when the Iona
was off Clackton, in the fore part OF

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 16.-The pro-
ton today were characterized by a
most exciting tilt between Senator
Tillman and his brother, George D.
Tillman, on the question of naming a
new county. George D. Tillman on
Saturday had succeeded in getting the
county named Butler. Senator Till
man was absent at the time and re-
turning today he moved to change the
name 90 Saluda. In a passionate
speech he charged Senator Butler with
being traitor to the party, and said
that to name a county after him was
an insult to the reformers of the
state.
George D. TiIlman, in reply, tainted
his brother with lighting man whom
he had defeated, and dramatically
striking his breast, exclaimed: Thank
God! there is no sentiment in my heart
that would make me stoop so lowI'

CRoCKER's CASE.
BUT LITTLE, If ANY, INCRIMINAT-
ING EVIDENCE SO FAR.
Two Strong Points Relied Upon BY
the Prosecution Fell FIat-A
Marked Reaction in Favor of the
Defendant.
lSpecial to The HeraId.i

EVANSTON, Wyo, Sept. 1e.-The
Croker murder case dragged it's
dreary way through court today with
out developing a single discriminating
circumstance against the accused that
did not at once fall to the ground of
its own weight or was contradicted by
some other circumstance or was sus-
ceptible of explanation.
J. W. Sammon, court clerk, testified
that he talked with defendant the
morning after the murder of Mr..
| Booth, and that the accused stated he
had been at the old barn at o'clock
on the evening of the homicide, while
John Downs testified that Mr.. Booth
was seen at Rockers store by him
about o'clock of the same evening.
/ Downs also saw defendant at the same
store at $50 buying tickets for a play
at the opera house.
N e. Small testified in contradiction
of Downs, saying he saw Booth and
Crocker at this store at the same time
after o'clock. Two points upon
which the prosecution based much re-
lance fell fat and caused a marked
reaction in defendants favor. They
professed to be able to prove, as a
strongly eliminating circumstance,
that the key to Booths private box in
the partnership safe was found in
! Crocker's possession, having attempted
! to prove it was on Booths person
when killed. 1t turned out today by
the testimony Of Thomas Blyth and
John Fiero, who were present when
| the safe was opened, that after trying
produced by Croker voluntarily which
opened the box, but there was no
proof whatever that it was Booths
key. The box was found to be filled
with old papers, letters and receipts
Of no value.
The other incident was In the testi-
mony of A. Klonginger, who kept a
| horse in the old barn where Booth was
killed. 1t was claimed, in opening the
case for the state, that prior to the
killing a pair of overalls lay in an
! old sleigh in the barn; that afterwards
sheriff had found the identical buttons
! from these vanished overalls in Crock
er's ash bin, a short time after the
murder. The states own witness,
Kloninger, today testified that he saw
the. same overalls in the barn two
weeks after Booths death, and had
worn them in his work about the
barn.
J. R. Arnold made direct contra
diction today of DR.. Blackburn who
testified also for the state, that the
fngernail imprints on Booths face
were made with the right nand Of the
assassin.
| The other testimony in the case was
so inconsequential that the judge said
it was difficult to discover what it was
introduced for.
| William Thompson, of Salt Lake a
| former partner Of Booth and Croker
is here attending the trial, and inter,
est is undated.
