PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 21.-The Oregon
ian to-day says: 1.-THE government has un-
earthed a stupendous land graft ring that
has been carrying on a business in every
well-timbered area on the Pacific slope
This ring has not only acquired base lands
by dummies and other fraudulent means;
it has debauched State land officials maxi
ing them hirelings or partners in the busi-
ness. It has maintained in the General Land
Office at Washington agents whose duties
were TO leak information about proposed
reserves and other profitable matter, and by
use of money has influenced placing of re-
serve boundaries TO it's own interests The
central figures of this conspiracy are said
to be in San Francisco. William j. Burns
in the secret service of the Treasury De-
partment and a. 3. Pugh. an assistant at
torney III the Interior Department, were in
Portland last week gathering evidence that
will help the government in prosecuting the
instigators of the conspiracy. They inter-
viewed number of men who had been paid
for the use of their names in applications
for State school land: also certain notaries
public. who are accused of certifying false
and fraudulent affidaVits.

The inspectors also visited the kitchens and
watched the preparat tion of the meals. The
fact that forty three members of Dowie's

taking action, so Commissioner Leder says

CANADA'S CASE WAS BAD

cusses the Alaskan Decision.

KINGSTON. Ontario, Oct 21.-Professor
Short, the political economist of Queen 5
University, when asked to express his
views upon the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton, said: About three years ago i was
asked to write an article on the Alaskan
boundary question. I agreed to do so, pre-
suming from what 1 had read on the sub
ject from the usual Canadian sources that
at least as good a case could be made out
for the Canadian contention as for the
United States Hopping across to the more
important official documents and corre-
spondence on the subject of the English.
Russian and United States claims, both be-
fore and after the treaty of 1875, / applied
myself to these as a necessary preparation
for my article.
''The result of my study was TO convince
me that the Russian claims. which were
transferred TO the United States, were so
strongly supported by the documents that
il was impossible to make out a valid ease
for the Canadian contention on the more
important points at issue. Not wishing to
do anything that would prejudice the Ca
madam case i was forced to withdraw my
promise.

SHAW REPLIES TO BRYAN
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY DIS
CUssEs MONEY QUESTION.
Silver, According to the Nebraskan,
VIII BE an Issue i'm the COM
ing Campaign.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Oct. 21.-Before an
audience of 1900 people Leslie NJ Shaw,
Secretary of the Treasury. delivered his
third and last speech in the Kentucky cam
paign Mr.. Shaw paid considerable atten-
ton to the money question and referred
briefly to recent utterance of Mr.. Bryan
indicating that the silver question would
have prominent place in the Democratic
platform.
1t was learned tonight that a change
has been made in Secretary Shaw's pro-
gramme Ii was originally intended that he
should go from Kentucky to Iowa and
spend some time there, possibly delivering
a number of speeches in his native State.
Now it has been decided that he will prob
ably not remain in Iowa more than three
days, after which, in response TO requests,
he will go TO Massachusetts. He will de-
liver at least one speech in Boston. prob
ably "a big mass meeting Oct. % at Tre-
mont Temple.
Referring TO the money question. Secre-
tary Shaw said The Democratic party
won the campaign of 1892 upon the issue OF
high living expenses But that issue could
not be used in 1896. And so ii was. looking
for an issue with which to win a campaign,
the Democratic party held it's convention
first and adopted the issue OF the PopuIist
party. They said il was Democratic. 1t
was not; 1t was Popu.ist. They said ii was
Jacksonian; it was not. Jackson was a
gold-standard man. They said it was JEFF
fersonian: Ii was not. Jefferson Is on rec
ord as favoring the single gold standard.
But they made the free coinage of silver
at is to l the issue, and on that issue the
case was tried That plank was reaffirmed
in 1900. 1t has not been disavowed. 1t mas
not been apologized for. Ii is now issue
rendered by the Democratic party to-day as
much as il was in 1896. The fact that it mas
fewer friends does not exempt it from con-
sideration. In addition, the great leader
