LAMEROUX DENIES.
Reply to Charges of Attempted
Fraud While In Office

Fraud While IN Office.
JUNEAU, Wis, Aug. 28.-Ex- Com
missioner of the General Land Office
Lamoreaux, who was charged with at
tempted fraud in connection with land
surveys of California, known as the
Benson surveys, today comes out with
a denial of the charges. In his answer
Judge Lamoreaux says that about
twenty years ago some surveys in Cali
fornia, known as the Benson surveys,
were suspended by Commissioner
Sparks when he was at the head of
the land Office. Suits were brought
against the government, and the gov
eminent lost. Finally a compromise
was agreed upon. The deputy survey
ors were to furnish evidence of the ac-
curacy of the surveys, and when ap-
proved recommendation was to be
made to congress for payment. The
judge is of the belief that congress
once appropriated $4,000 some two or
three years ago to pay for those ap-
proved. The answer closes as follows:
1.-THE compromise provided that if the
department was not satisfied with the
proof it could send an expert into the
field with the deputies, and the surveys
could be corrected, if not found COR
rect, to the satisfaction of the depart
ment. All that the general land office
had to do with it was to examine the
surveys, in the surveying division, af-
ter they were examined by the survey
or general and approved by him. Then
they had to go to the treasury depart
ment and on to congress. 1t is the
duty of the accounts division of the
general land Office to submit to the
secretary an estimate of what it would
cost to pay for the surveys. This the
accounts division did. 1t submitted an
estimate of $4,000. The secretary sent
for me, and we talked the matter over.
He said it was near the close of the
administration, and he thought he
would let it go over until the next adj
ministration, as he thought then that
Judge McKenna, of California, would
be secretary of the interior. So the
estimate was not submitted to con-
gress, although the surveys were ap-
proved by the surveyor general of
California.
81 had been advised by the commit
tee on appropriations to approve them
without field examination, as they said
an examination twenty years after the
survey was waste of money, and the
court had decided in the test case with
the government against the govern
ment. This is all there is to it, and
| I suppose that every body knows that
you cannot get money out of the Unit
| ed States treasury without a direct ap-
| preparation by congress-"

this recognition is somewhat tardy, it is none
the less appreciated.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS Aug. 2S.-We have to re-
port fairly strong opening for the wheat
market today, and subsequent weakness, to-
gether with very light volume of trade.
The markets course today is in evidence
that the late feverish excitement was uncalled
for. The news OF the day was meager and
generally rghting of wrongs of the past
week. Figures cannot lie of themselves-they
lack volition-but by having the power
to place automata as he wishes, they are
made to lie to suit the purposes CT the ope-
rator. Fer instance, the exports are bark
ing back on all previous estimates regarding
the crop of the Northwest. Crop estimates
have varied from over zoe, 600, 600 blu early to
119. 900, 900 blu late.

SPALDING ASSIGNS.
He Turns Over $4oo,o 900 to the Illinois
University Trustees.

CHICAGO, Ill, April 10 Charles w.
SpRlding, ok President Of the Globe
Savings Bank and ex-Treasurer of the
University of Illinois, has made a
voluntary assignment to the Univer
sity trustees of realty and bond securi
ties approximating $500, OOO.
The bonds are in the hands of Secre-
tary Lemans, of the Globe Savings
Bank, and a desperate fight will be
waged by the depositors of the bank to
prevent them going to the University.
Criminal proceedings r not to be
brought against the former treasurer
by the trustees unless they cannot be
Unidentified for the money and bonds
used by Spalding. Suits r to be be
gun against the First National Bank,
the Northwestern National Bank, and
the Metropolitan National Bank to re,
cover $242, 600 of bonds hypothecated
or sold to these institutions by Spald
ing personally Dr. through brokers.
Mr.. 8palding this afternoon issued a
statement giving the causes leading up
to the failure Of the bank, and saying
that he had no doubt that all depositors
will be paid in full and 80 per cent. of
the capital stock paid to the stockhold-
ers. If the securities are conservative
~ managed in the hands of the re-
ceiver."
He also claims that he handled the
University endowment bonds in good
faith and states that there will be no
ultimate loss to the institution or to his
bondemen, if his investments are not
sacrificed by forcing them upon the
present market, and he is permitted to
advise how they shall be ~liquidated.

which was seized by Collector of Gus
toms Balt8ell, at Fernandina October
81, 1896, for violation Of the navigation
laws, in that it was not provided with
the proper number of life boats, came
up for trial in the United States Dis,
trict Court, this morning. After hear.
ing the evidence. Judge Locke prompt
~ rendered a decision Diminishing the
case. The testimony of the local steam.
boat inspector showed that the owner
OF the boat had complied with all regu-
lations. The government attorneys
applied for an order from the court to
show that the vessel had been iusti,
1ably seized, and this is nov under
consideration.
The case against the Dauntless charg
ing q violation of the neutrality law in
connection with the No Name Key
expedition was called for trial to day.
Many witnesses have been subT oenaed
and the case will be the first to be tried
here on a libel for forfeiture.
Dr.. Joaquin Caster. the Cuban leader,
has gone North. 1t is stated that 40
more expeditions will be cent from

PROFITABLE HOG RAISING.

There never was a time when anyone
could enter into the business of raising
choice thoroughbred stock with a bet
ter prospect of brilliant success than at
present. 1t is the growing desire of
the farmers and stock raisers to pro
cure the best. The famous o. l. 9
Swine, originated by the L. B. Silver
Co., CIev Gland, Ohio, have attracted
great attention because of their hardi
mess, rapid growth, and the excellency
of the meat. These hogs grow more
number of pounds in the same number
of days than any other, and being of a
larger frame, naturally outrank all
competitors. They will fatten at any
age, which in no wise ~interferes with
their growth. In cholera they survive
when others die by the thousands.
When you contemplate improving

has undermined his constitution, and
he is suffering severely from nervous
prostration and rheumatism.
Lewis, who had been counted q
shrewd fnancier, confined his forgeries
to county and school district bonds.
The forgeries amounted to about $500,
600, and the securities he forged were
represented to have been issued in five
different Ohio counties.
He imposed upon some of the most
cautious bankers and brokers in this
section as many in the bond markets of
the East.
Four hundred indictments are now
pending in various Ohio courts against
Lewis, although his arrest was n ade
on a warrant charging but one forger.
The National Bank of Redemption,
of Boston will back the prosecution of
the prisoner at the trial, which is to
be begun as soon as possible.
When arrested at Ysilanti, Lewis
vas living with his family under the
name of James Leache. He consented
to return to Ohio without a requisitiop.
When asked asked last evening if he
had anything to say, Lewis answered:
Not now, but probably I will talk to
you later"

HYDRoPHosIA VICTIMS.
Children Bitten by a Mad Dog in Georgia
Die of Their Wounds.

Die of Their Wounds.
GORDON, Ga, April 16.-Five OF six
weeks ago a mad dog ran through this
neighborhood. The dog bit three Chill
dren, and they have died within a few
days of hydrophobia. They are Joseph
Bloodworth, the seven-year-old son of
a man who lives at IVey ; a ten-year old
boy named Jack Goodin, Of Stevens
Pottery, and a ten year-old daughter
of widow Sarah Evanson of the same
place. ALI three were bitten on the
same day, and such remedies as were
available in the country we're applied
to their wounds. These healed up, and
all danger was believed to have passed
Last week the children began to
show symptoms of rabies while at
school, and we're taken home, where
they suffered terribly until the end
came. The same dog bit another boy
and John E7anson, who is the county
constable, both Of whom will leave for
New York at once to be treated. Sew
eral dogs, several hogs, and an OK we're
also bitten by the dog, and such of
them as can be found are being killed
