PERRINE LAND GRANT.
Investigations shows That tho Florida
Allotment Is Wholly Regular.

WASHINGTON. Feb. &c, 1Ss7.-The Per-
rine grant, involving $4,000 acres of land
in Florida, which has been> under inves-
tigation for the past week by the SEN
ate Committee on Public Lands, is found
by this committee to be regular in every
respect. None of the charges made by
those attacking the grant is sustained.
The committee report that the testimo-
ny shows that the grant was issued in
the regular course of business in Accord
ance with the laws and that the evidence
upon which the patents issued had not
the faintest suspicion of fraud attached
to it. The evidence further showed that
the Perrine heirs had expended some
thing like $4,000 in improvements upon
the property in order to protect their
grant and that at a fair valuation the
whole property was, possibly, worth no
more than that sum.
The attack AGAINST the validity of the
grant came from people who had entered
into contracts with the heirs and. who,
the committee say, pursued this policy
N order to force better bargain with
the owners of the land.
