grazing and irrigation interests in the
west has been made public by Secre-
tary James Wilson, of the department
of agriculture. Questions relating to
the proposed prohibition of grazing
on streams supplying water for irri-
cation have occupied the attention of
the departments of agriculture and the
interior for some weeks and a co-Ope-
rative investigation has been agreed
upon with the hope that the problem
may be settled to the satisfaction of all
interests concerned. In giving out the
two letters bearing on the investiga

"A recent addition to the southern
division of the Tonto national forest in
Arizona made at the request of the
United States reclamation service to
protect the watersheds of the Verde
and Salt rivers and a subsequent or
der to close the area to sheep and
goat grazing after April l. 1900, have
brought up questions which have a
most important bearing on two great
industries of the west stock raising
and farming on irrigated lands.

EFrom a stan Correspondent

LAKEWOOD, May 11.-If Grover
Cleveland continues to improve he will
be taken to his home in Princeton dur
ing the week, is the latest unofficial
information given out at the Lakewood
Hotel, where the former President has
been closely guarded from even his
friends since the closing of the house
several weeks ago.
Mrs. Cleveland this morning issued
another bulletin telling of the improve
ment. in the condition of her distin-
guished husband, but said nothing of
his remova to their Princeton home.
Indications still point to the TACT that
Mr.. Cleveland's condition must be
grave, for DIR. Joseph d. Bryant is
constantly at the hotel instead Of
making flying trips to and from his
New York office. With him is Dr.. c.
Rowe Lockwood, the stomach specialist
and the discoverer of a new means of
combating cancer.
Yesterday and today Mrs. Cleveland
left the sick room for short periods
on advise of the physicians. She at
tended service yesterday morning at
the Presbyterian Church. and in the
afternoon walked about the hotel
grounds. This morning she walked
through the pines. gathering arbutus,
with a detective In close attendance
to see that she was not questioned or
annoyed.
The long vigil at the bedside of her
husband has left traces of the strain
on the kindly face of his faithful wife.
and it is understood that her splendid
physique has finally been undermined
and that she suffers from melancholla.

The Rev. Augustine Dassori GOt
Black Hand Letter De-
manding $1,000.
SUSPECTS SEIZED
CARRIED REVOLVERS
Former Local Preachers Friends
Here to Help Prosecute
Blackmailers.

Members of the First Italian Baptist
Church, of this city, and friends Of the
Rev. Augustine Dassori, who was at
one time pastor of the church, but
who now has a farm at Franklin Park
Station, near New Brunswick, are dis
turbed over his having received sew
eral Black Hand letters dated South
River recently.
He received one last week which de"
manded that he leave $1,000 cat the
sign of the frog" e h Pennsyl-
vania Railroad station in the little
town where he lives. before IL o'clock
o'clock Saturday. and that a refusal
would cost him his life.
No one acquainted with Dassori
knew where the mysterious spot was
LOCATED. The former Newarker had
his barn burned about a month
ago, believed to have been of incen-
diary origin, following his refusal to
place $1,000 in a certain spot by order
of the Black Hand.
Dassori asked the New Brunswick
police to protect him, and about the
time appointed for the placing of the
money Constable Paul Wagi, who was
in charge of a gang of laborers at
work on the railroad, saw two sus-
picious-looking Italians about, and he
questioned them and later followed
them into the centre of the town, and,
with Sergeant John Clinton, took both
in custody.
Each had loaded revolvers, and the
police believe the suspects know some
thing about the letters, as they come
from South River. They gave their
names as Michael Filosetta, 81 years
old. and John Sery, % years old.
Both will be Held pending an investi-
cation.
A number of Newarkers will lend
their assistance to the former pastor
in rounding up the guilty ones.
