CHEYEN. Wyo., June 10.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bek.|—The grand jury, at its seseion just closed, found indictments against J. J. Chadwick and C. H. Fisher, of the North Crow Creek Cattle company, for illegally fencing public land. The land in question is within the railroad limit, and consists of about two sections. A motion to quash the indictments made by Chadwick and Fisher’s attorneys was sustained in the district court to-day, Chief Justice Magin- nis deciding that the indictment failed to ecially state “that the defendants had no ‘color or shadow of title” to the land at the time they had fenced, as the law requires, As to the claim made by the defendants that fencing the public lands was no crime, the court decided that 1t was. The United States attorney stated that the reason that the indictment did not specifically refer to a shadow held by the defendants in the lands enclosed by fence was because they didn’t actually have a “‘shadow” of a title 'to the land in ques- tion. It appears the two sections hnd been taken up under the desert act, but part of the land lay so high that it could not be re- claimed by irregating ditches. The heavy land owners are naturally pleased at the re- sult, for they say that while they have no objéctions to elvil suits, and would be glad to see a decision of the question reached in the courts, they have- decided objections to being criminally indicted.

The Irish Editor Vigorously De- nounced For His Course. v York, June 10.—[Special Telegram to the Ber.|—Henry George's paper, the Standard, says of the Union Square ‘‘inci- dent” of Saturday night last: whatever was set for Mr. O'Brien and no at- tempt whatever was made to get him to take sides in American politics. America to denounce an Irish landlord for No trap He came to his conduct as a landlord. He was received with open arms by the American landlords and defenders of American landlords who dined him and wined him and gave him public ovations with the transparent pur- pose of making themselves solid with “the Irish vote.” He has been flattered and lionized by the press, which has nothing but misrepresentation and abuse for tuose who impeach in America the very same system which these papers 80 glibly condemn in lreland, and has received the public approval of the arch bishop, who is exerting ali his power to per- secute unto ecclesiastical death an American priest who incurred the unrelenting enmity of the 1talian propoganda by the brave words he said in favor of “Irish revolution" in Ire- land’s darkest hour, The real truth of the matter is cvluclm{ that O'Brien did not want to igentify himself or the parliamentary party with the principle of the land for the people. He was willing to accept an ovation from the workingmen of New York provided it would apoear to be merely a tribute to himself, to ‘what he calls his *‘mission,” and thqvlclyunu land policy of the parliamentary party. But he was not willing to accept any demonstration that would displease the saviors of soclety who have clustered around him in the United States, or would give any color to tho assumption that the Irish cause does in- volve a universal principle. — - DEPENDE T PENSIONS. A New Bill Being Prepared By the G. A.

ANOTHER ROSSER ASSAULT. He Makes a Becond Invasion Against Sheridan With His M outh, GIFTED WITH PLENTY OF GAB. A Reduction of Two Per Cent Shown By the June Report of the De- partmentof Agricnlture— National News. A Warfare of Wind. WAsHiNGTON,June10,— | Special Telegram to the BEl ieneral Rosser has broken loose again. Not satistied with the drubbing recelved from all quarters on account of his inaiscreet and disloyal letter about Sheridan, he is still of the same opinion. In an inter- view in New York last night he said: *I have had to take it preity heavy from many sources, and yet 1 do not regret that letter which was written from a sense of duty, not to reopen war issues, which 1 am the last man to desire reopened, but to prevent what 1and hundreds of others believe would be indecency. The origin of the letter is this: I was very busy with my own affairs, when 1 received a letter from a lady living in the valley notifying me that Sheridan was coming down there to camp out, parade himselt, and survey his old battle ground. She was very indignant at the idea of a second invasion by a man who had desolated the valley. She declared it was an insult to the women of the valley when this most brutal gmlerulot the war came_ there to renew his riumphs, and she asked: ‘Is there not man- hood enough left in the valley for a single protest tobe raised against 1t Agreeing with the lady 1 wrote the letter, notagainst u union soldier, but against the man who pil- Iaged and destroyed the homes of defense- less women and children. Why, suppose Jubal Early, who fired Chambersburg, were to visit that city to-day, do you think he would be welcome? " No. "The citizens wonld rise up en masse against and you and I would say it was indecent of nim. Still more so is it for Sheridan to vigit the Shenandoah. I tell you, sir, that this s not a question of old issues. The war isover, and 1 am glad to-day it ended as it did. The south 18 richer to-day than it was before the war. I believe in union. I would not put the niggers back into slavery if 1 could. I am thoroughly reconstructed. 1 have many dear friends among union sol- diers. But Sheridan waged a barbarous war- fare in the valley of the Shenandoah, and [ object, as do hundreds of others, to his com- ing among us. Sherrfan has tried to place the responsibility of his deeds on (veneral Grant. It can’t be done, General Grant simply or- dered him to destroy crops in the valley. He did not tell him to burn barns and houses. Why, often when a barn did not contain a dozén bushels of grain, and when 1t was so close to the house that its de- struction meant that of the house, too, Sher- idan ordered it fired, and the helpless in- mates, whose husbands and sons were at the front fighting, were rendered homeless. This was not honorable warfare. 1t was the war- :‘Ku of ‘the ancient Spaniards, of savace [n- D8, A Crooked Telephone Concern. WasniNGToN, June 10. — [Special Tele- gram to the BEE.]—For some days past him the executive departments have been tlooded with circulars setting forth a chance to make money afforded by the stock of the American Telephone company, a newly organized corporation under the laws of Virginia. The company claimed that it had séeured a grant from the republic of Venezuela by which the excluvsive right to operate telephones in that country was conceded toit. In glowing terms the possibilities of a telephone in South Amer- ica were set forth and promises of fortunes to those who bought the stock were assured. Department clerks, who usually haveall they can do to live within their incomes without squandering any portion of their earniugs in wildeat stock speculations, invested in it. ‘The stock is offered at the low rate of 10cents on the dollar, and it is said thatsales amount- ing to $1,000,000 have been made. The con- cern is capitalized at $5,000,000 and shares are sold over the counter at the price adver- tised in the circulars, 1f all of the concern was sound there would be nothing wrotg in all this, but unfortunately it turns out that the concession from the republic of Venezuela, from whicheso much is expected, has not yet been fully secured. ‘The papers are promised on the next steamer and the formal consent of the authorities will |lmblbil)' be published in the next official Gazette. But the worst feature of the concern, and the one which has brought it into discredit, is the fact that among the names of the incorporators is one that is familiar to the officers of more than one penitentiary. ‘This is the name of ‘'heo- dore W, Tyrer. ‘Ihis man is the head and front of the whole concern, aud although Congressman Butterworth, of Obio, is down as president, Tyrer is the organizer, vice president and the man above others to whom 18 due the measure of success in floating the stociz which has thus far been secured. Somehow or other suspicion was aroused yesterday that there was something not altogether right about ‘I'yrer and an invyesti- gation into his reputation and antecedents was undertaken. rumor was started that he had been convicted of forgery in two different states and telegrams were sent to the warden of ti® penitentiary at Stillwater, Minn,, and to the county clerk of Erie county, New York, The former replied as follows: STILLWATER, Minn.—Theodore Tyrer was sent here for four years for forgery and was dl:«:hunied May 98, 188, (Signed) H. J. Stordock, ~warden penitentiary.” The county 2lerk of Erie county, New York, tele- xrnfbhed: “*Colonel Theodore Tyrer pleaded guilty to forgery April 10, 1873, and April 12 was sentenced to Auburn for five years. Five other indictments were mnolle prossed the same day, (Signed) C, A. Orr, county clerk.” A “further investigation led to the complete identitication of the Theodore W, ‘Tyrer, of the American Telephone as the ‘Theodore—without the -W of Auburn and Stillwater. It was further that he was one of the organizers several other telephone companies which have had an existence on paper during the past two years, He was connected with one of these companies some time ago as plain Theodore Tyrer, when an_itemn appeared in the daily papers here to the effect “That a great deal of excitement had been created in innesota by the publication of a story to the effect that the president is said to have ap- pointed one Theodore Tyrer to an lmportant place under the governnient. ‘T'yrer served a term in the Stillwater penitentiary for for- gery.” lmmediately after the publication of this item the initial “W.” appeared in the namie of the Tyrer dolng business here, and s00n after his associates, becoming convinced that all was not right, froze him out of the presidency of the comk:n{. Next he turned up as president of the North Washington real estate company. Again his associates learned of his prison récord and he was once more deserted. 'The fact that the name of Congressman Butterworth appears in con- nection with this new venture of the en- terprising ex-Buffalonian has been sufti- cient 1o give 1t great weight in Washington, as well as in Ohio, and it is said that the stock has found many buyers where the e of Major Butter- worth is best know entleman is absent from the city at present, but no one believes he 1s aware of the character of the man with whom he has allowed his nane to be associated. It s certain, however, that there is something very queer in the com- pany, as one of the larzest stockholders said to-day that a dividend would be declarea within the next eight mouths, wheudqer cent would be paid to those holding certifi- cates of stock, ~ He was asked how it would beegosslblu to do this, when he coolly re- plied that 1t was the iutention of the in- corporators to sell $1.000,000 worth of the stock. ‘This would realize $100,000 and out of this §40,000 would be used in the \mvmenl of the first dividend. 'This, he thought, would send the stock to 830 or $60, at which Ligure those who entered the ground floor would probably unload and the lambs would have to suffer the consequences, T'his states ment was made by the stockholder as thou; he thought it was perfectly legitimate, his frankness will probably have the effect of opening the eyes of the elerks in the de- partments and it will doubtless serve to r strain many of them from throwing money into the hole dug by Theodore Tyrer, formerly of Buffalo. Official Crop Reports. WASHINGTON, June 10,—The June returns of the department of agricultural indicate a reduction of nearly 2 per cent. in the area of winter wheat. The spring wheat area has been enlarged 6 per cent from the increase of immigration and farm-making west of the Mississippi river in districts traversed by the Northern Pacific rond. Most of the increase is in Dakota. the total area of wheat being 000,000 acres. 'he condition of winter wheat shows no marked change, the average being $4.9. Le- ports of short straw are very numerous. In some districts there are indications that the {lcl\l of grain will be larger proportionately han straw, The harvest isalready in proress up to the thirty-eighth degree of “latitude, ‘The condition ot spring wheat is good in Dakota and the territories westward, but below the average records in Minnesota, lowa and Nebraska, & eral average for spring wheat is 87.5, which is lower than recent years.

'The dispatches froni the seat of war state that only seventeen have left the reservation, but the experience of the past has been that when so large a number leave a whole band is likely to go With them and all the women and children are taken along, The probabilit therefore, that the fleeing hos- tiles number at least sixty. There is some fear at the interior department that the In- dians will commit such depredations as will arouse against them a hue and cry for their removal from Arizona, in which event there is always considerable trouble in making the transfer, not only from the Indians so Shifted, but from thelr friends in other bands me tribe.

He urged that the step was forced upon the) government by continued obstruction., I$ was absolutely necossary for the dignity and efticfency of the house that the attempts to prevent the prograss of businessbe defeated. | It was now the fourth month of the session, and practically nothing had been done. The | whole course of legislation had been stopped. The government desired due consideration ' given the rights of the minority, but it was undoubtedly the duty of the government in the circumstances, without parallel in the history of parliament, to call upon the house totake measures to vrevent the minority from setting at defiance the controlling power of the majority. Gladstono said longer notice should have been given of this important mqtion, The present state of affairs had been brought about by the government themselves. The; had been pursuing a false, futile polie, o‘ coercion without the justification plead n former occasions. They d|-reur¢n!d all (%a usages and_traditions ot parliament in the conduct of the measure which they had, under the name of the crimes bill, intro- duced. He would suggest to the fivemmens that a rational mode to exped the bill would be to make it temporary instead of r«,rmnnem, and to strike out all provisions ouching combinations a;inu from crime, 1t the government rejected that remedy, and had no other to propose, the offensive” chars acter of the bill would be retained in full force. He did not wish to create a difliculty by offering opposition which he knew woul be ineffectual. He would therefore conten himself by protesting against the excuse now proposed. rarnell said he the fatuity of ing blindfold which they had lead to the greate could not understand the government rush. alon, the TO! already seen would disorder in lreland. The government speakers harped on the theme ot “Obstruction.” As a matter of fact, the Irish members had not lifted one voice against any measure excopt the coercion bill, which they were bound to resist to the ut most. He concluded by moving an amend- ment that the house decline to sanction the resolution limiting the freedoin of debate and assalling the rights of the minority. Harcourt warned the government that thele proposal might be used by a future govern=- ment as a precedent for carrying the home rule bill in.a fortnight, and that other meass ures might be forced through in the same way.
