| WO SUICIDES
in. A HOTEL

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 26.
Henry L. Woodward, formerly an at
torney of New York, and Charles A.
Brouse of Wadsworth, Ohio, a trav-
cling salesman, committed suicide in
their rooms at the Hotel Hollendep
during last night or to-day. The bod
les of both men. were found this aft
ernoon-. The Coroner's verdict in each
case gives dependency over domestic
and business troubles as the cause of
the suicide. Each man had used a
pistol and had sent bullet into his
head in almost the same spot, death in
each case being instantaneous So far
as is known there was no agreement
between the men to end their lives
Coroner Siegelstein said that a
number of letters had been found in
Woodward's possession from his wife
which showed that Woodward evil
IDENTIFY had been suffering from de-
spondency. The letters were affec-
tionate in tone and pleaded for Wood
wards return home and for a reply to
the letters. Woodward was an attor-
ney and had been in partnership with
Robert p. Cummings at 315 Liberty
street. New York. The partnership
Woodward became a travelling sales
man for a law publishing company.
Woodward was a brother of Justice
Supreme Court and a brother-in-law
of Steven A. Stranahan, collector of
the port of New York.

DEFENDS POLICY
OF WAR OFFICE

LONDON, March 2s.-In the House
of Commons to-day Secretary of War
Arnold Forster, on. a motion in the
Committee of Army Estimates, made
his =. annual statement. He defended
the policy of the War Office, and said
that the record of his administration
showed a number of changes looking
to the placing of the army on an eff
ficient war footing. The regular army
could not be reduced, because Great
Britain was the only country in the
world which was obliged to- main
tain an army on a war footing in times
of peace.
Arnold-Forster outlined the changes
made and contemplated and said it
gave him great pleasure to be able to
say that the Dominion of Canada had
undertaken from q certain date to bear
the cost of guardianship of the great
imperial fortresses situated in that
country
The War Secretary added that it
would take seven years to make an i'm
preston on the great problem of army
reorganization. What, then, could be
expected in seven months? He urged
the House TO deal with the question
from a patriotic and not from party
or political standpoint.

INVESTIGATION
OF LAND OFFICE
Secretary Hitchcock Plans
Sweeping Inquiry Into
the Methods of Officials
GRAVE CHARGES MADE
Facts Learned in Connection
With Oregon Frauds I'M
plicate Men in Washington
Special Dispatch to The can.

CALL BUREAU. POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Secretary
Hitchcock is planning a careful and
extensive investigation of the General
Land Office. 1t will be begun as soon
as the work of collecting evidence in
the Oregon land fraud cases is COM
pleted and other urgent matters are
out OF the way. The investigation will
cover wide scope, including not only
the methods OF administering the Land
Office, but the personnel of the office
as well. The manner of making pro-
motions will be probed
/, 1t is alleged that there is a certain
Clique or combination of a bipartisan
character which has arrogated to itself
the right to arrange promotions, and
that this arrangement originated while
Btnger Hermann was Land Commits
sioner. No one, it is said, who does not
wear the stamp of approval of this
combine has been able to progress.
Another chargessis that Chief Clerk
j. T. Macy a New Yorker, has been
using the clerical force in preparing
political speeches for congressman
Macy admits that considerable rpoliti-
cal correspondence" has been handled
by him, but denies that he ever pre-
pared political speeches, using the Of
flee force.
One of the most serious accusations
is that the clerks in the office were
practicallN-held up and required to con-
tribute tota $500 fund to buy wedding
present for former Chief Clerk Metzger,
a Missouri man. Macy and A c..
Shaw, now Chief of the Public Lands
Division, 1t is said, solicited the money
in such a way that the clerks knew it
was to their best interest to subscribe.
1t was. in preparing evidence for the
trial Of the land fraud cases that Hitch
cock came upon additional matters
which seemed to him to call for
a searching Investigation of the Land
Office.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 2S.-The
Standard Oil Company is to undergo
a Grand Jury investigation by the
Federal Government such as the beef
trust is now burdened with in Chi
cago. The oil trust investigation is TO
take place in Topeka. according to "a
Government official here, and Is to
begin within two weeks. Incidentally
the railroaGs are to be dragged in.
A Grand Jury was drawn at Topeka
to-day ostensibly to look after the
regular criminal business of the
Kansas Federal Court, but its chief
task is to investigate Standard Oil
methods. Great secrecy is maintained
in regard to the matter. The names
of the Jurors will not be given. out.
The Government figures that there is
no chance for trust to fix a juryman
in advance if the trust doesn't know
who the juryman is.
Commissioner Garfield will aid in the
Grand Jury investigation in Kansas,
For the last three weeks the Depart
ment of Commerce has had Secret
Service men in the oil country gather
ing information as to trust methods.
One of the questions to be investigated
is why the Standard dropped the price
of crude oil almost so per cent without
0iOpplLS the price OF reIlneQ OIL All
other is why the railroads lifted freight
rates on crude oil as soon as the trust
opened its pipe line to Kansas City.
The Government expects to show a
conspiracy between the Standard and
the railroads for the control of the oil
market
.The Department of Justice is not
looking for some insignificant clerk or
bookkeeper to punish" said the official
I, -
is looking for bigger game. There
will be no whitewash used. The de-
partment is out for blood"

net revenue of the Imperial Japanese
Government tobacco monopoly.
The japanese Government has the
exclusive right to control the cultiva
ton and production of the leaf in Ja-
pan and to purchase, import, manufac-
ture and sell tobacco. 1t thus possesses
the entire monopoly of the tobacco
trade within the limits of the Japanese
empire. The net revenue for the fiscal
year 1866 is estimated by the vice
governor of the Bank of Japan, the
duly authorized special financial COM
missioner of the Japanese Government
at 3,267, 1876 pounds. The bonds are Of
fered at S71s per cent of their face
value
The bankers in this city who will re-
ceive subscriptions for the loan say
that the events of the Japanese Rus

vious loan of 61s per cents was offered
and that the Az per cents will be taken

that the inhabitants have risen against
President Morales. reproaching him
with having been the cause of the pres

1t is added that the district Of Monte
Cristi is ready to begin a revolution

days ago. The affair, however, is not
giving the officials here any uneasiness.

1t is understood that General Barbaa
and those who are with him have been
on the island of Porto Rico. Their
movements were known to the State
Department and when they left that
place several days ago their departure
was promptly reported to Washington.
The district of Monte Cristi is said to
be the hotbed OF the revolutionists in
Santo Domingo, and it was believed
Barbaa and his associates would head
for that section. Their reported ar
rival there, consequently, caused no
officials.
The Navy Department has several
vessels in Dominican waters. and,
under directions from the State De-
partment, If requested to do so by
President Morales, will lend its CO.

the country, so that its finances may

FOLK PLEADS
FOR The LAW

He Asserts Good Government
Needs Men Who Will Live

NEW YORK. March 2S.-Governor
Joseph w. Folk. of Missouri was the
guest of honor and the principal
speaker at the banquet of the Missou-
ri Society at the Waldorf-Astoria to-
night. In a brief address Governor
Folk said:
The Missouri idea means the enforcement Of
law, and that II the law be bad the remedy is
to repeal 1t. not to ignore It. There is entirely
too little respect for law in America In
every State find laws nullity for policy 5
sake. Such thing is unknown in any other
spect for all laws In allowing some laws TO
go unenfoLced. we reap a harvest in having
all laws broken. The law may not be to
ones liking. but the answer lit Is the law
should be sufficient for the abiding. Good
men will observe even bad laws but bad men
will break even good laws. 1t should be that
good 6nd bad. because it Is the law.
How careless people usually are as to wheth-
gives rise to civic evils. Indeed. nearly all
public wrongs grow out Of the indifference Of
patriotic fervor at the thought OF going TO
war and risking their lives for their country.
but who forget to vote on election day. The
patriotism OF peace is Just as necessary as the
patriotism of war The patriotism of the ballot
is. even more necessary in free country
men win die for their country. but the man
who will live for his city and State every day
is the man good government needs.
District Attorney Jerome said
do not want to belittle what Governor Folk
has done, but it is a fact that nothing he has
done can be compared to what he may do and
may be- Whatever Folk has accomplished as
Circuit Attorney and Governor one of the
greatest Things he has done was to put cour-
age into the hearts of thousands who never
knew hmi. That will be the monument to his
life. There four men to-day on whom
the attention Of the United States Is rtveted-
