EXAMINER
Makes DISCOVERY

Another clue that may lead that the
discovery of a batch of frauds in the
Ramsey county auditors office, perpe-
trated in the winter of 1892 has been
discovered by the state public examiner.
A tract of land in the Minnesota Trans
fer district was in process of sale for
$1,000 cash. The property was subject to
taX-title held by the state on which
was due $1,21750, and to clear this the
owner had only one lawfls method to
pursue. To pay to the Ramsey county
treasurer the full amount of $1,27.50.
While negotiations for the final transfer
Of the property were in progress, there
appeared on the scene a well known tax
adjuster, having a pull in the Ramsey
county auditors office and possessed Of
hypnotic powers over the county COM
missioners. He volunteered to adjust
the states claim Of $1,217.50 by cutting it
down to $500 for a compensation of $500
to be paid to him for his Job.
At the request Of the tax adjuster the
purchaser signed q written memorandum
offering to the state $500 for it's tax-title
on the property. This offer was filed with
the Ramsey county auditor who, together
with the county commissioners promptly
recommended the state auditor to accept
the offer. Relying on the recommended
lions of the Ramsey county auditor and
county commissioners, the state auditor
approved the deal
The taX-ttle being thus approved, the
next legal step would have been the ex-
ecutton of a taX-deed by the Ramsey
county auditor to the purchaser. This
was never done The procedure adopted

POWERS AGREE ASTO
CHINESE INDEMNITY
Payment of Bonds to Be Guaranteed
by Each Government AS to
Its Own Share.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The ambassa-
doris from most Of the European coun-
tres were in conference with Secretary
Hay today, mainly because 1t was diplo-
matte day, which afforded an opportunity
for discussing the state Of the Chinese
negotiations. 1t is understood that the
middle ground, or modus vivendi, as 1t is
being referred to, concerning the form
of paying the indemnity, is likely to be
settled by a joint and several guaranty.
This viii be in complete accord with the
American view that there should be no
Joint guaranty in the sense of binding
each government to secure the payment
of the entire $685., 600 coo. 1t will be joint,
however, in the formal aspect of being
executed by all Of the powers jointly,
at the same time and probably by the
same instrument This instrument doubt
less will include a provision by which
each government Is to assume no liability
beyond the amount of it's own share of
the indemnity, which in the case of the
United States is limited to $25, Co., Oe.
In answer to his inquiry, Special Com
missioner Rockhiu at PeSin has been
informed that the United States govern
Inent has not taken any steps recently
looking toward the abatement Of its
claims for indemnity against China, by
onc-haIf, regardless of the action Of the
other powers Some time ago the govern
Ynent proposed through Mr.. Rockhill that
all Of the powers scale down their
claims 80 per cent so as to bring the to-
tai Of their indemnities within Chinas
ability to pay. Though this proposition
failed Of acceptance, our government
left Mr.. RockhilI under instructions to

lose no opportunity to secure a reduction
Of the claim, but it has never signified a
disposition to refuse to accept the full
amount of our indemnity, regardless Of
the action Of the other powers.
SITUATION AT PEKIN.
PIKIN, June 6.-The ministers have
ceased to hold meetings while making
inquiries as to the desires Of their re-
spective governments. The majority Of
the ministers hold that Germany should
have told the Chinese that all the pow
ers would agree to an indemnity of 49,
100000 taels at 4 per cent interest. They
also think that the withdrawal of Count
Won Waldersee and the German troops
show a desire to force the powers to &C
quiesce to Germany's demand, which
they are not inclined to do. Trouble be-
tween BrtFsh and French soldiers at Tien
Tsin continues. Brig. Gen Lorne Camp
bell, in command of the British troops,
and the French commander, will use their
utmost endeavors to prevent further fric-
ton.
REPORT FROM WALDERSEE.
BERLIN, June 6-The war office has
received the following dispatch from
Count Won Waldersee, dated Ten Tsin,
Tuesday, June 4:
"I have now resigned the functions of
commander-in-chief and today am leav-
ing China by way of Taku. Strict meas
ureS have been taken here to avoid coll
nsOns between the different contingents.

tachmentS / attended the funeral of tho

5ority of the common stock of the Ameri-

Germs, the Consolidated company will also

per cent of the capital of that corporation
being held by the American and Con-

to thus cheat the county out Of $7OO 20
was abandoned, and an entirely new I'M
lawful and braZen method was chosen
to cut the tax down to $500.
The county auditor issued what is call
ed a Delinquent Property Tax State
ment," purpOrting to show that there
were delinquent taxes on the property
amounting to $50003 directing the Ramsey
county treasurer to receive $5O0.03 and re-
ceipt for it in full payment, cOncealing
the fact that the state was entitled to
S1,217.50 The purchaser paid only $50003
and received a receipt IN full payment
from the county treasurer
When the business was fully completed
a certificate was delivered to the owner
Of the property, executed by the county
auditor, showing that the taxes upon the
property had been lawfully reduced and
abated, from the legal amount Of 81, 217.50
to $500. o. The state public examiner re-
ports the county auditors certificate to
be false, and should have been known to
him to be false when he signed It,

be made:

After the state was thus cheated out of
s717.23, a deed of the property from the
owner to the purchaser for the considera-
ton of $1,000, cash, was delivered. The
state bank examiner is said to have
made his report of this transaction and
turned it over to the county attorney to
be presented to the grand jury.

SOUTH AFRICAN WAR DANCE SAD
DIES HEAVY EXPENSE ON THE
BRITISH TAXPAYER
CHARGE MADE OF CORRUPTION
Conservative Member of Parliament
Says Army Officers Have Too
Good "a Thing Buy
Ing Horses

LONDON, June 6.-After a long and
somewhat em'bittered discussion of the
policy of the war office in buying horses
for use in South Africa, the house Of
commons today by q vote Of 159 to 60
voted the sum Of ELS, 5000 for trans
ports and remounts.
Sir BlundlelI Maple, Conservative, as
serted that British officers, who had been
sent to Austria and Hungary, had pur-
chased broken down animals at exorbi-
tant prices and divided with the sellers
the price charged the British govern
ment above the actual cost He demand
ed the appointment of a commission Of
inquiry.
Lord Stanley, financial secretary of the
war office, promised investigation would
be made, and was confident THAT the
charge would be disproVed.
Mr.. Brodrick, the war secretary, said
the war department paid 4or horses in
England SAP, in Canada ESQ and in Aus
tralia, the United States and Austria
Hungary from e1O to EGO. Continuing,
Mr.. Brodrick said a telegram had reach
ed him from Lord Kitchener that be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 troops were now
suitably mounted. the war secretary de
Tended the good quality of the horses
bought abroad.
ONE BRITISH VICTORY.
PRETORIA, Wednesday, June 5-Col
Wilson, with 240 of Kttcheners scouts
has surprised and routed 400 Beers be-
longing to Beyer's command thirty-four
miles west Of Warm Baths The Beers
resisted stubbornly, but finally broke and
fed, leaving 81 dead, 100 prisoners and all
their wagons and supplies, including 5000
cattle in the hands of the British. The
loss OF the latter was three men killed
and fifteen wounded.
Beyer's main command arrived on the
scene soon after the engagement but did
not attempt to recapture the supplies
Boyer was thus left practically without
amy transport or supplies
CHARGES ARE SERIOUS.
1t Is understood that the charges made
by Sir Plindell Maple are of a very Sc
rlous character. 1t is asserted that in
one case an officer netted .e59,10O in the
purchase of horses in Hungary.
Dissatisfaction is said to have existed
IN the colonies because the government
mas peen buying horSeS on the continent
when colonial animals were available.
On motion to approve the agree
ment of the government with the East
ern Extension Telegraph company for
laying a cable from Che Foo to Wei
Hal Wei, Sir Charles Dixie asked wheth-
er the agreement would not pledge the
government to resist any attempt by
the United States to establish direct
communication with China. He con-
tended that it was to Great Britain's
interest that the United States and
China should be connected by cables
Austen Chamberlain explained that It
was imperative that the cable should
be laid, and, finding China had already
pledged herself to give no landing rights
TO any companies except the Russo
Danish and the Eastern Extension, the
government had been compelled to make
the best terms it could.
