-----A- 49,
SCHOONER IS
A FLOATING mine.

NE WYORK, July 26.-With hun
dreds of packages of explosives on
board, any one of them powerful
enough to blow her up, the little Dam
ish schooner Bonavista sailed into
port yesterday, after a voyage from
Hamburg that lasted forty-n1ne days.
The voyage, Capt. Christensen, skip
per of the Bonavista said, was about
half and half, that is, part of 1T was
good sailing and the other just the
reverse.
Time and again the Bonavista polk
ed her nose into gales, and it was
while riding the big combers that
skipper and crew thought about what
might happen if any of those social
ed packages got too severe a jolt.
Capt. Christensen is both owner
and master of the Bonavista. On two
or three occasions when beating his
way through a heavy fog Capt. Chris
Jensen said he heard the sirens OF
liners, but he was always on the look
out, he added, and was never in much
danger of being run into by any OF
them.
Explosives dangerous" said the
skipper, you say? Why, l don't
know. They put 'em in packages
very carefully and put cushions on
top of the packages and then we pack
it below very tightly. The packages
we have are packed so tight that you
couldn't move them with a derrick
unless you knew how. When you
know how, though, it's rs easy as
sliding down a creased pole"

MAN LIVING WITH
HIS BACK BROKEN.

NEWARK, July 26:-Displaying
remarkable nerve and with his mind
perfectly clear, Calvin Ewing is lying
in the City Hospital with his back
broken in several places, and sur
geons are watching with interest the
progress of the case, with hope for
recovery. Ewing fell from a scaffold
last Friday. He cannot be placed in
a plaster jacket. Instead he is rest
ing on his side, supported by air
cushions on all sides. He has not
lapsed into Inconsistencies at any
time since coming to the hospital,
and is able to use his arms with free
dom, and even his legs, despite two
broken ankles.
An operation was performed on
Ewing the day after the accident,
pieces of the fractured vertebrae
were removed, the spinal column was
drained and the pressure removed
from the injured parts.

COLD IN CAMP.

SEA GIRT, July 26.-The Ma.
tional Guardsmen from Paterson en-
ioyed fair weather yesterday after
having experienced three rainy days
and an extremely cold night Tuesday
night. A chilly wind blew in from
the ocean, and although many of The
men slept in their uniforms and over
coats, they were stiff from cold before
morning and turned out for the first
ans.
1t has long been a source of won
der why the state should seemingly
set a higher valuation upon the SER
vices of the enlisted man than it does
upon the services of a commissioned
officer. This idea has been accentu-
ated in the past week to the officers
of the Second regiment of Trenton
and the Third Regiment of Camden,
and especially the mounted officers,
but the receipt from their respective
quartermasters of bills for the hire
of horses they used while in camp.
Before the Dick bill was adopted
the state was in the habit of allow
ing the mounted officers 50 a day for
horses for six days, although the Of
ficers usually had to pay for eight
days, the time actually in camp. Now,
however, the allowance is only SO for
the entire week. With the enlisted
man, however, the state pays him the
difference between the regular army
pay and 81. so. Under the present
system it often happens that a mount
ed officer has nothing for his weeks
work, but he is out of pocket from
H6 TO $40.

snecial to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, July &c.
Sunday baseball at Midtown, near

manager of the Brunswicks made a
proposition to the Public Service

the grounds there, which are along

other places and they had turned
them all down. The same action

ALEGITIMATE INQUIRY.

While the Oregonian cannot agree
with Senator Fulton that Secretary
Hitchcock is q man in his dotage, yet
we must say we wish the Secretary
had pursued land thieves with as
much vigor in other Pacific States as
Oregon. For it is the firm belief of
many, and there are numerous in
dications of its truth, that the frauds
which have been unearthed aud pros
ecuted in Oregon are SIN Ill in number
aud trifling in degree. to those COM
mited in California and Washington.
And if the whole truth could be known
what should we not discover also in
Idaho, Montana and Wyoming?
1t cannot be said that the resources
of the United States are not ample tor
investigation and prosecution of land
fraud in these states, at the same time.
But, since the secret of the govern
ment cannot be known, the fault may
lie with the Office of the Attorney
General, as we'll as that of the Secre-
tary of the Interior. 1t is the bust
ness of the Department of the Interi-
or to ferret out the frauds, and of the
Department of Justice to prosecute
tehm. Much has leaked out, from
time to time, about the operations of
the land thieves in otherT Pacific

Many practices which ten years
ago, five years ago, one year ago,
aud even six months ago were in ia
vor, public opinion having no condem-
nation for them, are now held to be
odious and even criminal. This is
perhaps the most notable develop
ment of the day, namely, the creation
of a higher standard for the conduct
of American business. The revela-
tions of graft in the insurance and
railroad companies are shock to
national pride and yet there is hardly
an American who does not know that
in one form or another graft has ell
tered largely into the corporate life as
into the political life of the country.
The saving clause of the situation is
that it seems a passing phase in our
national progress. The optimist
has reason TO reioice that the national
conscience has been touched and that
public opinion is establishing higher
ideals.

States; but the prosecutions have been
confined almost wholly to Oregon.
Heney has done admirably we'll.
Could not able prosecutors of the
offenders in other states have been
found? In Louisiana, indeed, much
has been done in bringing land thieves
to justice, and something bin Mississi
ppi and Arkansas; but why has little
or nothing been done in the Pacific
group, except Oregon, where. in ali
probability, the offenders have been
fewer and their operation smaller that
in any other Pacific States?
1t seems certain that the General
Land Office, under Hermann, was, to
say the least, loosely conducted.
Secretary Hitchcock believed that be
had detected fraud In it, and connivance
by Hermann Herewith. The impor-
tance of Hermann's position naturally
caused the Secretary to pursue inquir-
les into all irregularities reported in
Oregon; for if Hermann could be
connected with any, it naturally was
supposed his collusion would be surer
of discovery with those committed
within his own state. Hitchcock was
"going for Hermann; Puter and
the other members were caught, and
Puter's statements drew Senator
Mitchell into the net. This was a
result not anticipated nor intended,
when the inquiry began; but it added
notoriety to the proceedings, which
was heightened greatly by the further
disclosures obtained through Tanner;
by which, also, the prosecution was
enabled to dispense with the testimony
of Puter and others and place its
work upon surer basis. Now.
though undoubtedly there are great
frauds in the same line in our other
Pacific States, that ought to be pros
ecuted, the department at Washington
City seems to have satisfied their
sense of what was due to official zeal
and duty, by dwelling on those dis
covered in Oregon, while neglecting
the rest, in the other states. Cred.
liable, therefore, as is the activity dis
played iu Oregon, it does not make
up for the negligence or delay else
where; and if 'big fish" were the
ones most desired, who knows what
big fish might have been taken also
in the pools and sloughs of corrup-
tion in these other states, where the
timber lands have been exploited by
spectators to greater extent than in
Oregon.

1t is noticeable fact that the or
ganization of the Blue Mountain Edi-
torial Association was effected at Day
ton Saturday without the depressing
aud blighting presence of Wood. 1t
is also worthy of mention to note that
his name wasn't even mentioned dur

is, the Washington boys will have
nothing to do with "jungleized" fos-
sill, whose milk-shake notoriety origi-
mated in an imaginary war with a
Chinese section gang in the sage brush
jungles of franklin county. In legend,
translated from the Chinese, the war
is supposed to have Originated over
the ownership of a tattered woolen
blanket, flask of coffin varnish and
mulligan can. A compromise was
made in which the section boss re-
tanned the mulligan can, the Chinese
the blanket and the colonel was
awarded the varnish. Furthermore the
Association is not seeking members
outside the pale of the craft; .conse
quently roman candle gardeners, and
bum potato kings, masquerading in the
distorted guise of aristocratic country
journalists, are not wanted.
