Echo Of the Schulze Frauds in
the United States Court
at Seattle.
Real Estate Dealer of Spokane
Seeks to Recover Half
Million.
Asks That Reorganization Be
Stayed Pending a Set
tlement.

SEATTLE, Wash. May 4.--The papers
in a sensational suit in the United
States court have been served. 1t is
the suit of l.. G. Dillman, prominent
real estate dealer of Spokane, against
the Northern Pacific Railroad com.
pany, and in the complaint he tells in
full the story of the gigantic frauds
practiced by Schulze in connection
with the sale of lands adjacent to Spo-
kane. Dillman asks for the return Of
$4,000 of which he says he was delib-
erately defrauded; for $1l2.490 dam
ages which he claims to have suffered
by reason of false representations, and
for the further sum of $50, 600, which
he claims to have paid out on promis-
sorry notes signed in behalf of the road.
This suit is
Directed Against the Receivers,
McHenry and Bigelow of the Eastern
district and Receiver Burleigh Of this
district, and also against the Farmers
Loan and Trust company as holding a
mortgage on the Northern Pacific, the
complainant claiming that the money
has passed into the hands of the re-
ceivers and was used by them to pay
interest on the mortgage and that they
now hold the balance in the treasury of
which they have control.
Dillman states that the receivers are
perfectly willing to make proper adj
Indication If the courts can decide the
real
Amount OF the Indebtedness.
He asks that the deeds to the Spokane
property be declared deeds for his BEN
eft and that the property be excluded
from the mortgage held by the Farm
ers' Loan and Trust company. He
asks that all persons be enjoined from
taking possession of the property until
an investigation of the charges
made by him can be had, and that the
reorganization or passing of the road
from the hands Of receivers into those
of bondholders be stayed or held sub
ject and subordinate to his rights and
those rights shall be decreed by the
court.

WARNING TO CRIMINALS.

Chester Rowe Sentenced in Mexico for
Crime Committed in Iowa.
CRY OF MEXICO, May An the case
of Chester Rowe of Poweshiek county,
Ia, accused of embezzling public
moneys, Judge Aguelaz imposed a sem
tence of 10 years and months impris-
onment. This case has been a notable
one in the history of Mexican juris-
prudence, as Rowe, after committing
the offense, came here and took out
Mexican citizenship, hoping thus to
evade punishment. But under the
penal code an offense committed abroad
and continued on Mexican soil is pun.
ishable and Itowe's case will serve as
a warning for criminals hoping to find
a safe asylum in Mexico. Rowe had
misappropriated $a8, 600 in Iowa, had
deserted his family and never had
sent his wife but $50 from here.

They Withdraw From Buluwayo-Situa-
tion Improved.
LONDON, May 4.-Earl Grey has tele-
graphed to the government from Bulu-
wayo that the Matabeles have retired
from the immediate vicinity of that
town and that it is believed they are
tired of fighting and are preparing to
travel northward. The Mangwe road,
he says, is secured by 400 men in seven
forts. King Khama, the friendly
chief, believes that the Matabele are
divided in their councils and will
therefore not make concerted attack
ON Buluwayo. King Khama complains
that his people are ruined by famine,
and by the death of their cattle. This is
true, and ON that account the authori-
ties ought to prepare measures of re-
lief. All the native chiefs on the
the Transvaal border are indignant that
the members of the johannesburg re-
form committee should have been sem
fenced, and they would welcome any
chance of attacking the Beers.

Henderson Bankruptcy Bill
Adopted After Five Days
Discussion.

WASHINGTON, May THE senate
programme for this week is to take up
the river and harbor bill, and when
that is disposed of to follow with the
bill making appropriations for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Opinions differ very
widely as to the time the river and har-
Dor bill will consume, but no estimates
place it at less than two or three days.
If, as is not improbable, something
should be said to open up political
debate similar to that of last week,
there is no telling to what length the
discussion may be drawn out. The
managers will make a strenuous effort
to keep politics and several financial
questions in the background and to
hold the discussion down to tn merits
of the bill.

Recent Transvaal Revelations Likely to

Cause Him Trouble.
LONDON, May 4.-The Cape Town
cryptogram, as the Transvaal revela-
ton is now termed here, is producing
an increasing sensation, coupled with
deep humiliation. Cecil Rhodes, who,
by the publication in Pretoria of the
kilograms. exchanged between various
people just previous to the invasion Of
the Transvaal by DIR. Jameson and his
filibusters, is at once clearly shown to
have been the head and front of the
conspiracy, was not only premier of
Cape Colony at the time but was also q
member of the privy council AS the
matter stands, Rhodes and other off,
GERS Of the British in South Africa are
liable to be arrested, and it is possible
that the charter Of the company will be
revoked.
Reason for Rhodes Sudden Departure.
1t is said that the secretary Of state
for the colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamber
lain, got an inkling of the affair VIII en-
Rhodes was in England recently and
that the sudden departure of the ex-
premier for South Africa at the time
DR.. Jameson was expected to reach
this country was quite unknown to Mr..
Chamberlain. Indeed it is asserted the
latter did not know Rhodes had any
idea of leaving England until he was
on the high seas and on board Ger
man steamship, otherwise the Ma
poleon of South Africa Might have
been compelled to await the arrival of
DR.. Jameson and the investigation
which followed
