.. " Etc.- Etc.
Washington, April 15. The action of
the senate in removing James Russell
Young, of Pennsylvania, from his po
sition as an executive clerk by declaring
the position vacant last week, has caused
no small amount of talk in the circles of
newspaper correspondents in this city.
Mr. Young was charged with betraying
executive secrets. The entire force of
executive clerks was recently excluded
from the secret sessions, as the outcome
of accurate newsoaDer rerorts of the ses
sions in the case of Judge Woods, of In
diana, and the Behring sea treaty.. The
resolution . declaring Young's office
vacant was presented in the senate ex
ecutive session by Mr. Sherman, from
the committee on foreign relations, arid
was urged by him reasonably and out of
reason , and it was because of this urgency,
more than any other one thing, that Mr.
Young was removed, as he- had never
betrayed the trust imposed in him. The
senators knew too well where the execu
tive session, proceedings came from, and
they did. not come" from Mr. Young.
The agitation of this matter has a ten
dency to revive in the house Rep. Hen
derson's bill, vesting the postmaster-general
with the dangerous powers of a
press censorship. His measure was un
questionably well meant, as it was aimed
at the exclusion of ' improper literature
from the mails, but as now proposed it
would clothe the head of the postoffice
department with an authority that
ought never to be placed in any man's
hands ; that of suppressing a newspaper
when it fails to .meet approval. The
laws against the circulation of unclean
literature are probable ample now. The
fault, if any there ..be, lies in their ad
ministration ; they certainly do not need
to be supplemented by a Russian cen
sorship. This comes mostly from the
course of Mr. Sherman, who was par
ticularly severe on Mr. Young, : and
also treated without gloves, the newspa
pers' correspondents" in Washington
generally. . . .
- . A Salaried Criminality '
, .New York, April 14 The Rev. Dr.
Parkhurst, who gained such wide notor
iety by his. crusade against the city's
dives, issued an address to the citizens
of New York this morning, in which he
tells why -he adopted the methods he
did to procure evidence which. ha3 ' been
the subject of - much adverse crjticism.
His object, he says, has been solely to
secure in the public mind an indictment
against the police department. He does
not try to defend his method, but says
it' was the only way in which he could
cut to the. quick of this whole corrupt
business. He refers to the, police de
partment as an "organized and salaried
criminality" which threatens the com
munity, and says he is- determined in
his course and will continue it.
, - Will Proceed Against . Journals.
London, April 14. The statement was
made here last evening that the govern
ment, is seriously considering the advis
ability of taking vigorous action against,
the many anarchists from France and
other countries v who are now making
London, their, rendezvous. .Proceedings
may be probably first taken against the
anarchist journals, which every week in
cite their readers to murder and incen
diarism. ' ; ."7. i :- . .

. Chicago Catches It
Chicago, April 15. The storm which
pased this city yesterday was one of the
most furious and sudden for years. The
gale blew all day,' some of the time at
the rate of sixty miles an hour, all trains
are delayed and communications cut off.
Damages to shipping along the lake
front 'amounts to considerable.
" . Who Is to Pay the Americans. ,
Washington, April .15. Correspon
dence between this government and Italy,
concerning the work of the murderous
Mafia at New Orleans, reveals the fact
that the state department have deposited
$25,000. to be distributed among the heirs
of the three Italians killed. In making
this deposit Secretary Blaine declared
that, although the wrong was not com
mitted directly by the United States,
the latter, nevertheless, feels its solemn
duty in the premises. Replying, the
Italian Marquis expressed the hope that
tha payment of the indemnitv will re
sult in the happy re-cstablisbment of
relations between the governments.
. Railway vs. Boats.
New Yobk; April 15. In the line of
reforms anticipated - by the absorption
process of the new Reading "system,"
they will tomorrow close their water
transportation department in this city.
Thir barges, tugs and other floating
property will be . transferred to the
Lehigh Valley railroad. This action is
in line with the changes made in conse
quence of the recent coal combination.
There is positive information that the
Vanderbilt and Reading interests have
joined hands and obtained almost com
plete control of the anthracite produc
tion of this country.. With the Delaware
and Hudson 'road in the combine, the
Pennsylvania road with its 10 per cent,
production is - the . only corporation
antagonistic to monopoly. '
Samoa In Bad luck.
Washington, April. Jo. Advices from
Samoa show a bad state of things because
of the gang of boodlers surrounding
King Malietoa. The government treas
ury is empty, and for the $28,000 of
United States money, all the govern
ment has is a residence for the president
of the council costing $5,000, and a "jail
Kwhich cost $1,200. It' has been very
seriously considered by some leading
citizens as to the advisability .of seizing
the treasury and putting' a trustworthy
person in charge, with bonds to be given
that the money will be properly expend
ed ; also that a petition will be forwarded
to the treaty powers asking that the
whole matter be investigated. May 15th
the Samoans will be in arrears $113,000,
not one dollar of which, it is claimed,
will be collected. This does not take
into consideration the gun tax, which all
white residents are compelled to pay.
. . Claims, of- the Poachers. .
Ottawa, April 14. G E. Y-. Gleadowe,
of the imperial treasury department, and
A. J. Rose, ; assistant secretary' of the
National Marine insurance company of
London, who have been appointed com
missioners to examine into the claims
for compensation due to the .operations
of the Anglo-American modus vivendl in
Behring sea . last season, will remain
here until Monday.' A- majority of the
sealers have already filed claims at , Vic
toria, but, as the time for entering the
claims does not expire , until the 28th
iast.j the commissioners. do not .propose
to reach Victoria much before that date.

A ST. PAUL SENSATION.

THE MESABA IRON LANDS FRAUD.
A Worse Proceeding Than the Timber
Land Thieving iri Oregon.
A RAILWAY COMPANY TRICKED.
Lands Relinquished in "Good Faith"
are Gobbled up by Preferred
Speculators.
St. Paul, Minn., April 15. This, city
of 6aintly names has for a month past
been the headquarters of a horde of Du
luth railway men and land speculators,
contesting rights to a rich region known
as the Mesaba iron lands. Questionable
proceedings in the auditor's office, in
volves several state ohacials in the trans
actions which is assuming the shape of a
scandal. It appears that on Januarv 29.
18J2, thS Duluth road, by an agreement
with State Auditor Birmann. released
from its grant certain iron land the title
to wnich was not wholly clear. This
land was in the most valuable part of
the iron range and consequently was in
mucn aemand. 'ihey expected to put
their men on to it at once, 'but immed
iately after the relinquishment a promi
nent real estate dealer of St. Paul who
had become aware of the movement.
made application for leases on a large
share of the land made eligible to lease .
by the relinquishment: This annlica-
tion was made only a few minutes .after
the land had been relinquished and just
prior to the closing of the office for that
day. The application, which was made'
Dy an agent of the real estaje man, was
careiuiiy scrutinized and the information
given that the document could not be
considered, as it was not made out in
proper form, but the applicant was told
to be there the next morning with a
proper application and his business
would be attended to. Early the next
morning, before the office was open, the
applicant was on hand, and when he
gained access to the office, to his conster
nation he learned that of the entire-,
tract the greater and more valuable parts
had been leased to H. V. . Rutherford,
and others, the whole clerical force of
the auditor having worked, possibly all
night, to complete the entries. It has
now been decided to expose -the whole -affair,
and actions are to be commenced
at once, v The valuation of the leases in
volved amount to nearly $500,000.
The Wyoming Fight;
Cheyenne, April 14. There is great
doubt if any of the Pinkerton mercena
ries, who have been smuggled into John
son county to shoot the ranchineu, will
ever come out alive. The fight in Big
Horn basin is not, as lias been stated,
between the cattlemen and the rustlers,
but between the big cattle companies
and the ranchmen, who are fencing the
fertlle land. Some cattle havo been
stolen, and this has been magnified to
such an extent that the people generally
believe that the inhabitants of the basin
are thieves, Now that the Pinkertons
are in the basin, they will find it hard to
get out. . The mercenaries were organ
ized in Denver and brought to this point
on a special , train, when , they' , were
herded into the isolated country by
their masters, ostensibly to prevent
cattle-stealing, but really to exterminate
the peaceable ranchers. - The situation
is, desperate. .Everybody , knows the .
facts, but every man fears . his neighbor
and refuses to talk. Gov. Barber de
clines to send the militia into the field,'
saying he has no knowledge; officially,
of any trouble in Johnson county, but
everybody knows the men are being
killed there daily. , The jheriff of the
county is a-man who is in sympathy
with the small ranchmen. : He is a man
of great nerve, and if,; as is .clearly his
duty to do so, he should call on the citi
zens to assist him in arresting this
armed force that hits; without authority
of law,: invaded his - county, he could
quickly gather . about him 200 or 300
cowboys who are familiar with the
country and at home in the saddle, and,
in that event, ' there is little chance of
any of the invading party getting oat
alive. ..While the majority of the small
ranchmen 'are honest and industrious,
they -are all desperate and .daring,- with
but very few cowards. And though- this
invading party may be only after a few
of the worst thieves, . the small -ranch?
men do not know whom they have on
their liat,so that it puts each and every
One of them on the defensive.
