BENSON SURVEY CASE.
Commissioner Hermann Asks Pay.
ment of Claims be Suspended.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Commis-
sioner Hermann of the General Land
Office has taken action on the famous
Benson California survey case, by
which the original contractors are al
lowed to finish surveys, resurvey and
otherwise correct the big discrepancy
which led to the suspension of pay
ment for their work The Benson sur
veys caused scandal in Government
circles, and have led to numerous in
vestigations and long-pending litiga-
ton.
They were made in California about
twenty years ago, and the work for
which payment is made is charged to
either having never been performed or
so very negligently done that the Gov
ernment could not take advantage of
it. Many of the payments were made,
but the remainder were held up and
subjected to examination by a special
examiner of the Land Office He re-
ported that the surveys were not as
they should be, and ought to be re-
jected, but Commissioner Lamoreaux,
in the last months of the last Admins
tration approved the surveys.
The question has since been under in
vestigation by Commissioner Hermann.
He asked that the Treasury Depart
ment suspend payment of the claims.
which was done. A careful investiga-
tion of the matter has been made in the
field, and the result thus far stated
fully confirm Commissioner Hermann's
attitude.
Benson and other contractors origin
ally associated with him have ap-
peared here, and the present action is
based on negotiations entered into by
them, by which they agree to entirely
survey all former surveys so far sus-
pended. The department has agreed
to this, with the proviso that when
surveys are again made they must be
examined by trusted agent of the
Government before approval is given.
The amount withheld by the Govern
ment reaches $4,000, according to
the value at the original contract
price.

CURRENCY REFORM
WILL BE THE CHIEF TOPIC AT
THE NEXT CONGRESS-.
An Administration Bill Will be Pre-
pared at the Treasury Depart
ment to be introduced.

CHICAGO, June pa special to the
Times Herald from Washington
says: The currency reform is to be the
chief business of Congress next winter.
President Mckinley has decided fully
that he will not send to Congress at
this session message suggesting the
creation of a currency commission as
he had intended a short time since. In
stead of commission to investigate the
subject and report to Congress, an ad-
ministration bill is to be drawn and
presented to Congress next winter.
The preparation of this measure is to
be the special work of Secretary Gage,
but he is to have the assistance of
Comptroller Eckels and of a number of
other officials and public men who are
close students of currency and banking
problems. This measure, when pre-
pared, is to be submitted to the Presi-
dent, and after receiving his approval
will go to Speaker Reed and to a num-
Der CT leading Republican Senators. If
any of these have serious objections to
its details, an effort will be made to
harmonize all the differences so that
when the work of passing it through
Congress is entered upon, there may be
no delays through Republican dissen-
sions.
1t is said this measure will be COM
prehensive and adequate treatment -
the currency question. 1t will be in line
with the best and most progressive
state of banking and currency, and an
effort will be made to put the national
banking and national currency sytem
upon a thoroughly modern and scien-
tffic basis.
There will be ample provision for a
plan similar to that employed in Can
ada, or to that recommended in what is
known as the Baltimore plan. The gold
reserve will be protected as other ma
tions protect their bullion reserves, by
destroying the endless chain.
The vexing problem of what to do
with the greenbacks will be met fairly
and squarely. 1t is not proposed to re-
tire them summarily, but to gradually
convert them into other forms of pa
per money which will not possess the
power of draining the gold reserve
whenever exporters or foreign bankers
wish to do so. All that is done in
this line will be done gradually and in
such a way that the country will not
notice the change

CUBAN AFFAIRS.
Young Lee Did Not Take Public His

HAVANA, June 2G-"La Lucha,"
commenting upon the appointment of
General Stewart Woodford to be United
States ambassador to Madrid, says the
report that General Woodford carried
with him some important documents
from President Mckinley to Spain, has
caused a certain amount of excitement
as indicating the possibility of direct or
indirect intervention in Cuba upon the
part Of the United States.
The editorial attack of the Impair
cial' of Madrid upon the son of Gen.
eral Fitzhugh Lee. the United States
Consul l-General here. charging the
young man with being implicated in
the premature publication of his faith
er's report of the results of the inves-
tigation into the death of DR. Ruiz. is
refuted by the Havana correspondent of
the News" which published the re-
port He has written a letter to the
La Lucha' denying most emphatic
ally that any advance copy was OBJ
tanned from either General Lee or his
son, or from any employe of the United
States Consulate in Havana.

A CRAFT WHICH CAN RUN OVER
THE WATERS
At Speed of Fifty Miles an Hour
The Boat the Design of Cap
tain FIindt.

NEW YORK, June "a craft which
her designer confidently believes will
skim the sea at a speed of fifty miles
an hour has just been launched in this
city. The boat is the invention of Cap
tain Carl j. H. F'lindt, who began the
actual work of construction on last
Christmas.
Great secrecy was observed in build
ing the boat There is not an angle in
her exterior lines. The steering appar-
atus of the boat looks like a figure
head. The deck and keel bend gradu-
ally to the middle of the boat, then
taper to the overhanging stern A pilot
house rises like dorsal fin from the
deck, while a row of dead lights, hint
ing at fishes scales, circles the hull
Looking at the boat bow on, the sug-
gestion of a fish is as pronounced as
from side view. for there seems to be
no beam. A foot rail running around
the deck and protected by an iron hand
rail is the only point of structure in
keeping with the idea of a submarine
creature. Captain F'lindt bases his
greatest hope of phenomenal speed on
the propeller. which he holds is the
greatest novelty about the boat. There
have been other fish-shaped boats he
admits, but no propeller like this She
will have her engines in three weeks,
then in a week will come her trial trip.
Captain Flindt. a sailor for the past
tWenty-eight years. has been working
on the idea for twenty-four He has
made fifty models of propellers before
he perfected the device with which this
boat is ftted- 1t consists of two steel
plates. each with two fianges. and is
expected to make 500 revolutions a
minute under a 30 horsepower engine.
The craft is built OF oak and steel ribs
and is 81 feet long 61a feet beam and
II feet from the lowest point of keel to
the highest point of deck This boat
will draw six feet of water She will
have two staterooms, each eleven feet
long and running the width of the ship.

The big charter petition, which

The petition would have been taken
UP some time ago had it not been for
the absence from the city of Judge

were of the opinion that a matter OF
such Importance to the citizens should
be considered by the full bench ana
postponed action until Judge Willis re-
turned. Seen last evening at his home
on Summit avenue, Judge Willis sald
he would meet with his colleagues or
the bench Monday. He was not ad-
vised in the matter except from articles
he had noticed at odd times in the
newspapers during his absence, and
had not discussed nor considered the
question of a new charter for st. Paul
1t was probable that the matter would
be taken up by the judges the hrst

HELD UP BY TRAMpS
OSCAR MOLINE, AN IOWA DRUG
GIST HAS A THRILLING EX-
PERIENCE.
WAS THROWN FROM HIS CAR

Oscar Moline, young drug clerk liv-
ing at Ridgway, To-, had thrilling ex-
perence about a mile and half west of
Mendoza yesterday morning, when he
was robbed at the muZZles of brace Of
revolvers by gang Of tramps, brutally
beaten and thrown bodily from a
rapidly moving car. Fortunately, the
young man escaped without serious in
jury, though when he reported the mat
ter to central police station his appear
ance evidenced a desperate encounter.
The police obtained a description of
Moline's assailants but as they pro-
ceeded to Minneapolis on the train
there is little hope of their arrest.
Moline is a druggist by profession,
and being DESTROYS of reaching the
Northwest from Chicago, engaged to
care for nine blooded horses, which a
friend was shipping to Minneapolis in
palace car. At Owatonna, where the
train stopped for few moments, five
men, one negro, jumped into Moline's
car and asked to be allowed to ride
The young druggist acquiesced in the
request, and the men made no effort to
gotten
beyond Mendoza, when the negro and
one Of his companions drew revolvers
and demanded his money. Searching
the young mans pockets and finding
but Is cents, the tramps then forced h m
to remove his clothing, and in a closer
inspection they found 81 in the watch
pocket, which they appropriated.
After he had dressed, Moline saws
the negro suddenly turned on him and
dealt him a blow in the face, knocking
him almost insensible. In this dazed
condition the tramps lifted the drug
gist from the floor and, opening the
car door, threw him out upon the
tracks. The fall was severe and for
nearly half an hour Moline thinks he
lay unconscious. Gaining his senses
he walked hatless to ST. Paul and re-
ported the outrage to the police The
car of horses in which he was in
charge went through to Minneapolis.
The tramps took all of the money
which Moline had and he is stopping
with an acquaintance at 463 Sibley
street.
