detail a revenue cutter to convoy the

quest has been granted, though the
officers of the revenue cutter service
do not share the fears entertained.
The revenue cutter Bear and posi-

The navy department has felt the
evil effects of the gold craze. The firm
of Moran Bros, located in Seattle, is
building the torpedo boat Rowan, and
had made good progress until the
Alaskan exodus set in. Now they have
informed the navy department that so
many of their workmen have dropped
their work to go TO Alaska that they
are obliged to appeal to the navy de-
partment for an extension of time in
which. to complete the boat.
The land Office is receiving many ap
plications for copies OF public land
laws by persons who profess their in
tention Of going to Alaska. The office
has been obliged 10 notify the appli-
cants that the land laws have not yet
been extended to Alaska, though the
mineral laws apply.

CONTROL OF GREEK FINANCES.
Germany's Proposal Meets Opposition
From All Sides.

Constantinople, July 29-The demand
of the German ambassador, Baron Saur-
dade Jatsch, that a provision be inserted
in the peace treaty between Greece and
Turkey for a provisional control of Greek
finances, meets with dssfavor among the
other ambassadors. They consider that
it IS not covered by their Instructions,
but should be made the subject of direct
negotiations between Germany and the
other powers.
Even the Turks oppose this project, as
they regard it as an attempt to take ad-
vantage of the peace negotiations in the
interests OF the German bondholderS.
While Ii is thought improbable that
Greece could raise the indemnity loan
without such guarantee as would be pro-
vlded by European control of her finan-
ces, the proposed stipulation is regarded
as not in order in treaty to which only
Greece and Turkey are parties.
AT a meeting of the ambassadors the
indemnity clause in a form satisfying
the views of Germany was agreed
upon. It now awaits the approval of
the respective foreign officers. An
other meeting will be held on Saturday,
when, so far as the ambassadors are
concerned, the negotiations will be
concluded.

GREAT SWINDLING SCHEMES
OPERATIONS OF FEGEN-BUsH
COME TO LIGHT AT BUTTE.
Fraudulent Transfer of the Valuable
Minnie Healey Mine-Fegen-Bush
Now in Jail.
Especial to The Herald.l

Butte, Mont, July 29.-According to
the testimony of a number of Chicago
witnesses. filed in the United States
court today, c. NJ. Fegen-Bush of Chi

others. have for several years been.
CARRYING on successfully some of the
greatest swindling schemes ever known
in this country. Soon after. John D.
Abort. owner of the valuable Minnie
Healey mine and other properties. died
intestate in Butte, about two years
ago, it was discovered that the rich
mine did not belong to the estate, but
was claimed by Mrs. Ella L. Fegen-
Bush of Chicago, to whom it was al
legged to have been transferred by one
William c. Brand, who. in turn. was
supposed to have purchased it from
Airport some months prior to his death
The heirs declared the transfers and
deeds fraudulent and forged. and
brought suit to set them aside In the
dispositions filed today it is demon
strated that Brand was a fictitious per-
son, and was represented by c. NJ.
Fegen- Bush, the notorious swindler.
who has given trouble to the police all
over the country, and is now in custody
in Denver. Fegen-Bush, pretending to
be an invalid in a darkened room in
Chicago, impersonated Brand. and
made a transfer of the Minnie Healy
to his wife, the notary who took the
acknowledgement, Frank A. McLaugh-
lin, not being allowed to admit suffici-
ent light into the room to make out the
certificate.
The testimony shows that the Fegen-
Bush family stand big in responsibility
in Chicago, but the man in the case
and his wife have long been engaged
in questionable transactions in bogus
mining stocks, in which they were as
sisted by B. C. w. Evans, an alleged
mining broker of Butte. the latter fur
nishing the stock to cappers and plac-
ing a fictitious value on 1t. The princi
pal stock handled. according to the
testimony, was Freedom Cold. Bitter
Creek and Gold, Placer and Sapphire,
and among their victims were Charles
R. Palmer of Chicago, Clarence B. Hus-
ton of Chicago, William T. O'Mara. a
merchant of Cleveland. John Woods. a
real estate dealer of Joliet. and others
who were swindled out of thousands
of dollars.

''An augmentation of the worlds

value of silver. When California and

seeing an attempt of this, has given

IRISH PRISONERS.
Five of Them to Be Released Soon
Redmond Active.

London, July 29.-As a result of the
efforts of John Redmond, the Parnel-
lite leader, it is probable that the gov
eminent viii soon release the five re-
naming Irish prisoners, Wilson, Bur-
ton, Dalton, Flanagan and Fether
stone, now undergoing sentences of
penal servitude for life in Portland
prison.
Sir Matthew White Ridley, the
home secretary has already promised
to treat with the convicted under the
dynamite act of 1888, which carries a
maximum penalty of 20 years i'm
prisonment, instead of under the
treason act of 1S4S.
Deducting for good conduct commu-

would be Is ears.
AL the i've have now entered the fif-
teenth year of their Imprisonment and
there are strong hopes of a relief be-
fore the expiration of fhe year as the
result Of the pressure brought to bear
upon the government supported by
large section Of the press.
1t is thought probable that the forth
coming visit Of the Duke and Duchess
of York TO Ireland will be signalized by
the release of all Irish political prison
