Won Plehve's Assassin Sentenced.

Sasonef. who threw the bomb which
killed Minister of the Interior Won Plehve
on July 2s, and Sikorifsky, his accomplish
in the crime, were found guilty at st. Pc
tersburg Tuesday. The former was SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for life with hard
labor, and the latter to twenty years i'm
prisonment The trial had been expected
to last at least two days. but 1t was rushed
10 a speedy completion, in view of the pos
siblity of revolutionary demonstrations.
1t turns out that at the trial Sasoneff de-
Kvered a speech in his justification. Both
prisoners were dressed in civilian clothes.
Sasoneff walked with cane, three of his
toes and one finger having been amputated
as the result of wounds received by the
bomb explosion. He also was very deaf,
one of his ear drums having been smashed.
Sasoneff being still an invalid was taken
back 10 Viborg prison after the trial.
Sikorifsky was taken to the st. Peter and
ST. Paul fortress. The effect of the applica-

It is Said That Two Participants in the

rotary Hitchcock's Statement.
BY WILLIAM E. CURTIS.

Written FOR The Evening Star and the chicago
Record Herald
There has been a good deal of guessing
during the last few days about the mean
ing of Secretary Hitchcock's recent promise
of sensational disclosures In connection with
the land fraud cases on the Pacific coast.
The presidential campaign and other events
have diverted public attention from the In
vestigations being carried on there by the
land office, which have disclosed the most
extensive frauds and conspiracies against
the government ever known in connection
with the Interior Department. They in
voive several hundreds of thousands OF
acres of public lands, and the persons i'm
plcated, Secretary Hitchcock says, are
mostly men who have occupied and still &C.
cupy positions of influence and high stand
ing both socially and politically. Several
of them are men of large wealth and pow
erful connections, and they are naturally
fighting desperately to save themselves from
exposure and prosecution. They have in
terested members of both houses of Con-
gress In their behalf and prominent social
lights in Washington, Philadelphia, New
York and elsewhere, who have appealed to
Secretary Hitchcock and to the President
for mercy and protection. They have tried
to drive Secretary Hitchcock from the
Cabinet.
If rumor can be believed members Of both
houses are likely to be involved in the COM
plications before the entire facts are dis
closed 1t is understood that at least two
men who have been active in the conspiracy
have made full confessions and that they
implicate men of prominence in Washing

May Secure Further Delay.

1T is quite probable that the defendants
can secure further delay OF year and
half or more In the California cases, which
will be not only embarrassing to the de-
partment. but there is danger that their
conviction may be prevented by the death
of important witnesses. These circum-
stances emphasize the necessity of amend
ments to the law, whereby the removal of
indicted parties to the jurisdiction where
the indictments are found may be pro-
noted, so that prompt trials can be Sc
cured. These men, like others who have
been detected I'm frauds against the govern
ment. rely chiefly upon delay and accidents.
which have too often happened. to prevent
their punishment. 1t is always extremely
difficult to secure convictions for frauds
upon the public lands, particularly when
the culprits are men OF wealth and infiu-
ence. We have the consolation, however,
of knowing that gigantic combination and
conspiracy against the government has
been broken up, and its power for evildoing
In the future has been utterly destroyed.
The lands selected by fraud have been re-
stored to the public domain. and we are
confident that the guilty parties Will ulti-
mately be convicted and punished"
Several Plead Guilty.
In the Oregon cases several of the de-
PENDANTS have pleaded guilty and two have
made confessions of all of the transactions
known to them. They Will be used as wit
nesses for the government. One of the
principal witnesses for the government alb
seconded. which made IL necessary to post
pone some of the trials, but he has since
been arrested and is now at Portland The
defendants remaining untried are men OF
great prominence and influence I'm Oregon
politics. One OF them, Henry Medium, was
recently surveyor general OF the state, and
has been associated with the senator in
politics for many years.
When the forest reserves in Oregon and
California were set aside by a proclama-
tion OF the President many individuals
came forward and claimed that they had
long before settled upon the state lands.
To sustain their contention they submitted
forged evidence, false affidavits and other
documents containing the names of ncti-
'tious persons. who claim hundreds of thou
sands of acres. These claims were hurried
through the land office and patents were is
sued. The patents were then usually con-
veyed TO other persons, both real and fic-
titious. woman named Emma l.. watson
has already been convicted of the fraudu-
lent conveyance of a large part OF the lands
involved Another woman, Marie L.. Ware,
who was United States commissioner, has
also been convicted of assisting in the con-
spiracy by preparing the fraudulent evil
dence and forwarding II to the land office
in Washington. There are two other wo-
men involved In the same way. They serv-

But only about 10000 acres of public
lands had been secured by exchange when
the conspiracy was discovered, and by my
direction. the issue of patents upon all
such selections end entries was suspended
The government is therefore in no danger
of further loss through this conspiracy.
The combination has been broken up. Five
of the conspirators have been convicted in
Oregon, and three more are already under
Indictment and remain to be tried in that
state. The defendants in the California
cases have exhausted every means known
to the law to prevent their trial in the Dis
trict of Columbia. where they were indict-
ed, and their final appeal and last resort is
now pending in the Supreme Court of the
United States, where we hope to have a
hearing at the earliest possible date. The
defendants are under heavy bail to answer
the decision of the Supreme Court when
finally rendered.

What really happened" said a French
Line pier official, who seemed to think
that two yarns were better than one, was
a gaucherie by a proletarian yellow dog
and a reprimand by an aristocratic blue
ribbon bull pup with bat ears.
''The yellow dog was excited, never hav.
ing been allowed on board before, and
went ND the first cabin %gangplank by mis-.
take. when it should have headed for the
steerage.
This annoyed the dog with the bat ears
and the topaz studded collar. who was
going aboard at the same time with his
mistress. He put his teeth 1.-TWO filled
with gold firmly but not viciously, into
the ear Of the yellow dog, led him down
the plank and along the pier to the foot
of the steerage gangplank and there let
him 90, Then the aristocrat hurried back
10 the first cabin and got aboard just a
minute to ten. That dog was so swell that
Il he Ind got lett he would have hired a
tug and chased the liner down the bay.
"But there was no fight. The lewelled
pup was too well bred for that, and the
yellow dog was too much awed by the
