SECRETARY HITCHCOCK PREPAR.
ING HIS REPORT ON ORE.
CON LAND FRAUDS,
REFUSES TO DISCUSS ITS CONTENTS
PUBLICATION or DOCUMENT At
PRESENT WOULD DEFEAT
ENDS Of JUSTICE.

Washington. Oct. % Secretary
Hitchcock said during the day that the
investigation which he had been max.
Ing into land frauds IN the Pacific
coast had been practically completed
and he hoped to be able represent his
report on them to the department OF
Justice by the close Of the present
week.
1.-THE report wifi not at present be
made public. he said, "as that would
defeat the ends of Justice"
He also refused to discuss the con-
tents Of the document, but confirmed
the generally current rumor that there
have been extensive efforts to defraud
the public. He said, however, that
bad as the condition is it had been
grossly exaggerated. 1T is absurd"
he said, ITO say that the frauds
amount to SIS, 900, 900 or $500 900
or anything like that sum. A million
acres would be a large estimate Of
fraudulently entered lands and the
government price for lands ranges
from $1.25 to $3.50 per acre."
The secretary also said that while
the investigation doubtless would in
volve some Of the officials Of the gov
eminent he had not intimated that
members Of the United States senate
are involved In the scandal.

ernor general thrice. They fed but
were subsequently shot down by Cos.
sacks.
Prince Galitzin was driving with his
wife when the would.be assassins
rushed upon the carriage, daggers in
hand. Two seized the governor gen.
eral and attempted to, drag him from
the vehicle, while the third man in
f1icted two ugly wounds on the princes
head and a third cut on the hand.
A Cossack who was in attendance
upon the prince threw himself upon
the assailants. While a hand-to-hand
fight was in progress the carriage was
driven off at a gallop. Ultimately the
assailants fed, followed by a mounted
guard Of Cossacks who had hurried to
the scene.
The Cossacks chased the fugitives
through the brush, firing constantly
with their rifles. They killed one man
Instantly. The other two were shot
down and died soon afterward.
Dispatches from Transcaucasia with.
IN the last month show considerable
unrest at Ti1is owing to the transfer
Of the Armenian church property to
the Russian government Under the de-
r of June rs. Demonstrations have
been reported at various points in
which quite a number Of lives we're

WILL REMAIN IN MANcHURIA.
Russian Newspaper O%utspoken on Far
Eastern Affairs.

St. Petersburg, Oct. ga dispatch
from Port Arthur says the Novykirai,
a newspaper edited by a member Of
Viceroy Alexieff's staff, after r~eiterat-
Ing the assertion that "the Russian
troops will remain in Manchuria until
Far Eastern affairs are settled in &C.
cordance with Russian views" pro.
ceeds outspokenly to lecture the Jap.
anese, necessarily with the approval
Of the Russian censorship.
"Now." says the Novykirai, us pre-.
cisely the proper moment for Russia
to establish a political equilibrium in
the East. The Japanese have failed in
Formosa because they do not under
stand how to colonize. The efforts Of
the Japanese to obtain settlements in
Korea. having their own jurisdiction,
would lead to the subsection Of the
Koreans and impair the sovereignty
of Korea. Japan has not attained
the status of a European state and
cannot be entrusted with the rights of
the European pioneers of civilization.
On the contrary all that can be toler.
ated is the immigration of Japanese
into Korea under control"

Scott of West Virginia is strongly op-
posed to the proposed economical pro-
gramme to be pursued by congress &C.
cording to Speaker Cannon and tho
administration.
There is nothing in the condition
Of the country that would suggest at
this time any curtailment in the neces-
sary expenditures" said Senator Scott.
Much Of the talk we hear about cut
ting down the expenses of the govern
ment is apt to mislead people. This
government is growing and 1t should
be understood that its expenses will
grow, too. You might as well talk Of
using the same amount Of cloth for q
suit Of clothes for q man that was
used on q ten-year-old boy as to talk
Of keeping our government expenses
down to q level where they were when
the nation was younger"

when il is said that the spectators were

that the approval was, in the main, de-
served.
The production is clean and whole

the first part could be Fingered cep-
siderably II a few of the Goleful songs
were cut out and some lfvelier ones sub
stituted. The jokes with one or two
exceptions, were new to salt Lake. and
well brought out The specialists intro
duced in the second act had the merit
Of novelty and gave thorough satisfaction.
OF Mr.. Jose $ wonderful voice IL is hard.

has been heard here before and IL is only
necessary to say that he sings better than
ever. There is a range and a sympathy
in his notes that cannot fail 10 win his
hearers. and another advantage Mr.. lose
has over so many OF his competitors is
that he sings absolutely without apparent
effort.
Frank Cushman made good deal of

parts. He is an old timer i'm the minstrel
