It will be noticed that the Governor

for this is, most other ailments begin

LAND FRAUD CASES.
Purpose of the Government to Punish
Guilty Parties.


WASHINGTON.-An official state
ment was given out by the Interior de-
partment announcing the govern
ment's purpose to prosecute every
guilty man in the public land frauds to
the full extent of the law and regard
less of position in life. The statement
follows:
The conviction in Portland, Ore,
yesterday of five persons for land
frauds, which will be followed next
week by the trial of several others in
dicted for the same offense, is but an
other step towards the contamination
of the policy entered upon by the sec
rotary of the interior when it became
known, nearly three years ago, that
frauds were being perpetrated in con-
nection with the public lands, to run
down and prosecute the guilty ones to
the full extent of the law without re-
gard to their position in life. The de-
partment has encountered many obsta-
Giles while engaged in this work, but
has moved steadily onward and has
had the hearty cooperation of the De-
partment of Justice in bringing these
land criminals to justice.
These land frauds have been far
more extensive than the public real
ize, and the work of securing the nee
essary proofs has been a difficult one
but there is no abatement of the inten.
ton to secure the conviction of the
land thieves, No one will be shielded
whether high or low, and the work OF
prosecution will be vigorously carried
on"

affairs for Iowa. An executive commit

ment Secretary Conway will take
an Office at the state capitol and de
vote his time for two or three months
to closing up affairs. The commission
will be able TO pay all bills and settle
everything without making use of any
of the $4,000 additional appropriated
for specific purposes, but it was pro-
vided that none of it could be used
until all the other appropriation was
used. While some departments needed
the additional sums it was not needed
in all departments and none Of 1t was
touched. The commission turned over
all the Iowa property to the State
Board of Control and that board is
now in charge. 1t has already started
the work of dismantling the Iowa
building and it is probable that build
ing will be the first to be torn down.

TOKlO-Imperial headquarters has
made the following announcement:
THE result of the bombardment of
Port Arthur by our large calibre guns
on the 18th instant was very good.
Many effective hits were made against
the battleships Peresviet and Pobieda
and the protected cruiser Pallada. In
consequence the Peresviet caught fire
and at 3:15 o'clock the Pobieda listed
to starboard"
ST. RSBURG-Foreign tele-
grams received here stating that the
Japanese have succeeded in mounting
heavy guns on 203-Meter hill are re-
garded as seriously significant and
have created deep depression at the
war office. If the reports of the sink
ing Of the Russian warships in the
harbor of Port Arthur are confirmed it
destroys the last hope of sortie, and
when the end comes nothing remains
but to sink those that remain in deep
water to prevent them falling into the
hands of the enemy. The war Office
is unable to identify Akasaka hill
Evidently it is japanese name.
The Importance of 2O3-Meter hill
to the garrison is evidenced by Gener-
al Stoessels desperate efforts to re-
capture it.
notwithstanding to dispatch
from Toxic to the Lokal Anzeiger, the
placing of heavy cannon on 203-Meter
hill will enable the Japanese to fire
on and sink junks and other craft
bringing supplies for Port Arthur
from Che Foo.

but it was impossible to count the
number of our shells taking effect
On other ships explosions resulting
from our shells could be seen, but ow-

was difficult exactly to identify them.

CHINESE EXCLUSION TREATY.
Tedious and Difficult Task Presented
Negotiators.

WASHING TON-The new Chinese
exclusion treaty, which Secretary Hay
and Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the
Chinese minister, are negotiating,
presents a tedious and difficult task.
When the negotiations were begun
some time ago it was with the hopo,
though hardly with the expectation,
that the treaty could be signed in
time to be sent to the senate at the
opening of congress. If the treaty
reaches congress before the close of
The present session the negotiators
will feel that their work progressed
rapidly.
To safeguard the country even more
adequately than does the present
treaty against the immigration OF
Chinese laborers of any class, and tc
alleviate as far as can safely be done
the alleged hardships which even the
best people of China are forced to un
dergo at the gateways of this coun.
try, are two results, which it is
hoped may be obtained by the new
treaty 1t is stated on authority that
there is no foundation that the new
treaty is designed to let down the
bars against indiscriminate Chinese
immigration.

PROGRAM FOR INAUGURATION
Committee Decides That the Ball viii
Be Held Saturday Night.

WASHINGTON - The inaugural
committee which has charge of the
arrangements for President RCose-
velt's Inauguration March held its
first meeting Wednesday and unani-
mously declared to hold the inaugural
ball on Saturday night, March 8.
This action was preceded by dis
cussion of suggestion that that func-
ton, always feature of the inaugural
ceremonies, should be held on the
Monday night following; that Sunday
would not necessitate the early clos
ing of the ball and interception of the
promenade concert program. 1t was
pointed out, however, that thousands
of visitors would leave Immediately
after the formal Inauguration and
that if the ball was deferred until
Monday evening the attendance ne
cessarily would be comparatively
small. The inaugural parade, it is
said, will be an unusually large one,
both in point of civic as well as mill
tary representation.
An effort will be made by the com.
mittee to secure legislation from con-
gress permitting the use of the pen
sion Office building for the inaugural
hall
