Washington, July 5.-The death of
Senator Kyle. of South Dakota, has
started much gossip in political circles
here as to- his probable successor. Coy.
Herreid, of South Dakota, is an out
and-out Republican, and there is reason
to believe that the Populists and Demo-
Gratis viii not be considered in making
the appointment OF q senator, who viii
serve until March 3, 1903. or until the
South Dakota legislature meets IN jan
uary. 1893 The name of former Sen
atorr Pettigrew now comes I'D in this
relation. but few here believe that he
has a chance of securing the appoint
ment from a Republican governor. He
has announced his retirement from poll
tics and his entrance into business pur-
suits, through which he hopes to make
q substantial fortune However, he is
credited with having made several for
tunes and with having spent them in
tiOns are that he will wait to re-enter
politics actively until the South Dakota
legislature is elected. and by that time
he may have mended his business for
tune
The last verdict of the electors of
South Dakota was decidedly against
Pettigrew and Popullsrn, and there IS no
reason TO believe that under the present
prosperous conditions In the country
there has been a change in the public
sentiment.
Among those mentioned as possible
appointees OF Governor Herreid is A B.
kittredge, of Sioux FANS, who vas a
Republican national committeeman in
the campaign of 1896, and has ever since
been prominent in the Repu blican coun-
els of the state He now has an excel
lent law practice and represents several
of the big railroads of the Northwest.
so that il is a question whether he
would abandon his personal interests
to enter on a short term in the senate,
with the chances OF his eventual cleo
ton to that body in doubt

LAND FRAUDS.
Extensive Crookedness Discovered in
the Northwest

New York. July 5.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says.
News continues to reach the interior
department Indicating an extensive
system Of land frauds in the northwest
Thus Tar the revelations are confined
almost wholly TO Montana and Idaho.
Interior department officials are in
cIined to believe, from the extent OF
the alleged frauds and the apparent
system under which they have been
perpetrated, that they are not confined
to that area. Only a few days ago
Secretary Hitchcock was informed of
the finding of 102 indictments by the
federal grand jury at Helena against
alleged land frauds in Montana, and
he received a telegram saying that the
federal grand jury in Idaho has re-
turned ninety indictments for the same
offenSe- The Montana cases grow out
of the transaction by which United
States Senator ". A Clark has OBJ
tanned possession of about IA. 600 acres
Of the public domain and timber lands
in that state 1t appears that Senator
Clark purchased this property outright
from a group of men in Montana
1t is not yet known here who is the
central figure in the alleged frauds in
Idaho. But Secretary Hitchcock has
determined to institute the n ost
searching and unsparing investigation
into all these cases. IS he is now doing
in Montana. In order to expedite the
inquiry It is probable that he VIII soon
order an investigation made into the
operation OF the public land Offices
both in Idaho and Montana It is in
tirnatei that he can not understand
how such extensive frauds against the
government could have been committed
If the officials charged with protecting
the public interests had been duly Wig
ilant in the discharge of their duties
The result of his Investigations may be
a wholesale decap itation OF federal ap-
pointees-
The secretary has sent trusted agents
and experts to Montana to prosecute
rigid inquiry. and he will now send
agents from Washington to Idaho co
perform a similar work Tt is reported
that ex-senator Carter has telegra phad
to the president a long message re-
questing that no further action be
taken in the Montana investigation un-
til he can be heard in behalf OF the
officials the secretary OF the interior is
supposed to be after.

establishing an imperial court OF ap-
peals through which advice of the col

and colonial offices is a difficult one,
but not impossible. as Goodwin Smith
seems to regard IT. Mr. Chamberlain
is trying to work it out by enabling
the members of the Canadian govern
ment to form a conservative plan
which win satisfy the Dominion. The
other colonies are expected to follow
