Senator Frye's Views

Boston, September + United States Senator Frye passed through Boston last night on his way to Washington, where he will join the other members of the peace commission. During an interview he said that the commission would not act simply as an exponent of the policy of the admin istration. "The members of the peace com mission," he said, "are men whose personal opinions and actions will not be dictated by the president or any other man. Whatever they have to say in regard to the terms of peace between this country and Spain will be absolutely independent, and their decis- ion will be final"
 Speaking of the popular sentiment in the matter of the disposition of the Philippines, the senator said: "Of the hundreds of let ters which I have received touch ing this question, almost every one of them Is fla vorabe to keeping all the islands in the Archipelago and many of them ask for the retention of the Canaries, the Iadrones, and everything else Spain owns away from home. l was surprised to find that the clergy and the religious element arc espe- cially anxious for their retention, probably from missionary and educational motives"
 The senator was asked if he thought the proposed investigation of the war depart ment necessary. He said: "It has only been made,necessary through the insistent agita- tion of the newspapers"

REAL ESTATE ARTISTS.
How the McQueens of this City Were
 Swindled Out of Valuable Property.

A decision recently rendered by Judge court of Minnesota entities John Mcqueen and J. w. Mcqueen of this city and Joseph Mcqueen and Mrs. Sarah Mcqueen of Flu Jaw to recover the sum of $61 ,561.SO from several real estate agents in St. Paul, Mnn. This decision is the result of suit which has been in progress in that city for a year or more.
 The trouble all grew out of the sale by the McQueens of large number of blocks of land in Superior Wis, which had been left them by deceased relative. They em- pIoyed in 1887 a combination lawyer and real estate agent in Superior named Ira w. Burhans to look after their property, to pay the taxes and to keep them advised of the opportunities to sell the property as they might arise.
 Property was then the boom in Supe- rior, though the McQueens, being so far away, did not know it. In September 1889, they instructed their agent, Burhans, to sell at the best price he could get. Bur hans seems to have been something of an artist in his line, he entered into a secret agreement with Rufus c. Jefferson and James kasson to buy in the property a a much lower price than it was worth. Jeff ferson and Kasson were to advance $15,00O to buy in the property, and the title was to be in their name, but Burhans was to have the handling of it after the same had been purchased from the McQueens There were several other little specifications in their agreement, but the whole idea of it was to sNindle the McQueens out of their property
 They did They paid S15000 in cash for the whole property, when it was easily worth great deal more. They then pro- ceeded to sell the property in portions, and within the next two years they cleared $54, 150 as the result of their deal.
 In 1895 Burhans and Jefferson had a mis- for large part of the proceeds, which, &C., cording to their agreement, Burhans was to receive. He got q verdict for $23 564.02, but has never obtained the money from Jeffer- son.
 The McQueens did not learn until 1896 or 1897 how they had been defrauded out of their property, and began suit for it's coYery at once Judge Lewis decided that the sale was illegal, from the fact that Bur hans, an agent in whom the McQueens had placed all confidence, advised them to sell their property at price far below its real value, while he himself was directly inter- ested in selling the property at as low a figure as possible.
 He also decided that the defendants, Bur hans and Jefferson, must pay back to the McQueens, the plaintiffs, the sum of $54,- 75002 less the amount originally paid, $lo,- OOO and s74S7 73 paid for taxes, or a sum of S39, ,G01 27 which, with interest to the day the judgment was rendered., amounts to S61 ,561.S0.

in some instances the fresh meat supplies have been unsatisfactory. H.
 The fact is that the meat sent here, in refrigerator ships, owing to the delay in unloading, becomes more or less tainted be- fore 1t can be ued. It is estimated that, at least 40 per cent is quite useless. Less than half the meat issued to- Colonel Hoods regiment has been fit to eat, and naturally there has been some complaint.
 Near Santiago are great fields of pas- turage and the United States government would do well to send live beeves here in- stead of contract meat. The cost would be less and the satisfaction far greater.
 Aside from the siclSnes that is incidental to standardization, the trouble among our soldiers is chiefly mental rather than physi- cal and a better mail service would do much to remedy it. Scarcely any mail has reached here. The men, more or less en- erYated by the climate and deprived of communication with their homes and fami- lies, worry, grow Respondent and sick from suspense.

Volunteers Keep Their Kits

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Permission has been granted by the sec- retary of war to the volunteer troops who served in the army during the war with Spain to retain their arms and equipment. These articles will not be presented by the government but each man will be given the privilege of purchasing his rifle, knap- ack, canteen, cartridge belt, and, in fact, everything used by him during the war. One months pay will cover the total ex- pense, the Krag-Jorgensen rife costing slO and the rest of the equipment about S3, and the last months pay will be accepted in payment. As each man will be granted Q furlough, this will practically be a gift from the government, which will enable every soldier to hand down to posterity

American Regime Has Been Inaugura-
 ted and Even Policemen Were . Chosen by Popular Vote g Details of Evacuation.

San. Juan de Porto Rico, September 16.- More depredations are reported to have oc- cured in the neighborhood of Utado Sev- eral Spanish haciendas and cafeteles have been burned and Spanish planters killed. These outrages are attributed to the lower classes of the natives, actuated by a spirit of revenge, and a lawless gang of brigands which has been operating near Cialee. Tho Spanish planters fear for their lives, and are. extremely anxious that the Americans should obtain control in order to afford them protection, the United States is powerless now to preserve order in places within the Spanish lines
 General Henry has displaced the aloalde, and appointed Senor Ramerieas, who has inaugurated an American regime, and has held an election for all municipal officers, including policemen. Utado is the first town in the island to possess officers chosen by the popular will.
 After the details of the evacuation have been arranged the movable property and military equipment which the Spaniards may properly move, if they desire to do so. will be inventoried separately. The com- mission may arrange to purchase such equipment as it desires to retain. This Will include field guns nd possibly certain nov able fixtures in the public buildings and vast quantity of Carliff coal, which was shipped for Admiral Cervera's fleet.
 The details of the evacuation of the island was practically completed at a meeting of the commission held today, and all now de- bends upon when the Madrid government shall place transports at the disposal of Captain General Macias for the embark ation of the troops Failure to send trans ports will embarrass the Spanish commits sioners, but the American commissioners

Austin, Tex, September 16.-Information received here today from St. Louis was to the effect that c. E. Vilenau of this city had attempted suicide at the Lindell hotel this morning, and was dying. He was, a year ago, one of the wealthiest men in Austin. He was born at Abilene, Tex, of a very wealthy family and came to Austin five years ago. He soon became infatuated with a desire to be aplunger on the exchange, with the result that he was constantly on the floor making deals. The result was that within two years he ran through big fortune Since that time he has gone to pieces, and his suicide in St. Louis today is the end of brief, but eVentful career

More than one declared that If he had not been wounded the regiment would have followed him to the last man. He kept ahead of the regiment and main ain ed his self-possession under a whitening fire. The Spaniards had the range perfecS- ly in each line of barbed wire fence, and the lines of the regiment were thinned at each obstruction. It was not until General Haskell fell wounded that their advance was temporarily checked. For his bravery at El Clancy Colonel Haskell was promptly promoted to brigadier general.
