He declares that he has not received a cent of the money and has no knowledge of the transaction. The forgery is alleged to have ocourred in 1804, when Henry L. Lorenz, as commis- sloner of the court of claims, was adjust- ing the claims of letter carrier: The check on which Machen is accused of tndorsing Lorenz's name was lssued on a voucher drawn on the postmaster at New York. As Mr. Lorenz was golng away on & confidential mission a request was made that the cash should be sent to Mr. Machen to be dellvered to Lorenz. On account of irregularities in the voucher the check was sent instead and this check, bearing Lo- renz's indorsement, was cashed at a bank in this city. The check was presented by Frank J. Raymond at the request of Machen, and he says he turned the money over to Machen. These facts were brought out at a congressional Investigation, but Mr. Machen said at the time that the sig- nature was that of Lorenz The general impression at the courthouse is that the Indictment will pe returned be- fore the close of the present week, and it is Intimated that other indictments may be returned at the same time.

Monday, September 7, 1%3, and continue thereafter the §th, 9th,'10th, 11th and 12th, The purpose of this organization is to advance the mining and metallurgical in- dustries n all their various branches within the United States. To assist in bringing about & more perfect co-operation between the government of the United States and the developmént of mining and metallurgy; to encourage education in practical and sclentific mining and metallurgy and the dissemination of sclentific information in relation to mining, metallurgy and their allled industries; to acquire and disseminate trustworthy information bearing upon the development of the metallic_and nonme- tallic mining resources of the United States; to promote a more co-operative tendency in the evolution of agriculture, mining, manufacturing, transportaiion and com- merce, and for the parircular purpose of bringthg the mining men of the United States into closer relation with one an- other and of promoting a friendly feeling for one another through soclal intercourse and the discussion of mutual interests. At the last session of the mining congress, held at Butte, Mont., September, 192, theé name of this organization was changed from “The International Mining Congress' to “The American Mining Congress.” A special committee prepared and submitted to the congress a provisional constitution and bylaws which, under instructions from the mining congress have been perfected and are now in shape for action by the congress, Everything pertaining to the re- organization of the congress has been given careful consfderation by the executive com- mittee and the congress is now in a strong healthtul condition. The constitution provides for four classes of members, active, life, assoclate and honorary, Any person actively associated with miring who after his application shall have been approved by the committee on membefship shall pay the initiation fee of $5, shall become an active member of the congress. Thereafter he shall pay in ad- vance an dnnual fee of $2, and any person entitled to active membership may, upon the payment of $50, become a life member, thereafter being exempt from the payment of dues. Any person actively assoclated with min- ing may, with the approval of the member- ship committee and upon the payment of i per annum, become an assoclate member. This will entitle him to attend the sessions and participate in the deliberations of the congress, but he will not be entitled to vote or_hold office. Honorary members may be elected at any regular meeting of the congress upon the recommendation of the committes on mem- bership and the approval of the board of ctors O fre onstitution further provides that no person._complying with these requirements Shall bo denied membership.

Frederick West Moore, who was recently arrested at Lincoln as a fugitive from jus- tice and is wanted by the government to answer a charge of fraud upon the pension department, while he was employed as a special examiner, was brought before Judge Munger yesterday afternoon for arraign- ment. Judge Munger issued an order trans- ferring Moore to.the western judicial dis- trict of Loulsiana, in which dlstrict it s said the frauds were committed. Moore will be taken to Loulsiana the last of this week. He is charged with Inducing a negro soldler to apply for a pension, and then as- sisting him in securing it at a rate of $50 per month, with considerable arrearages, and dividing the proceeds.

The program for this session will include papers by some of the most eminent geologists and mining men of the country. The geology and mining of the Black Hills will recelve a careful ex- position by men eminently qualified to present these subjects. In a similar ma ner there will be addresses and papers treating of the geology and mining of other Important districts of the country. Each per will be open for discussion and abun- g:n( time will be given for proper consid- eration of the same. rDurlnx the session of the congress there will be a most attractive and educational display of the commercial and_sclentific minerals of the state of South Dakota, in which other states and territories are most cordially urged to participate. There will be no charge for space and every facility will be afforded and other courtesies ex- tended to such states and territories as are present with exhibits to display and adver- tise thelr mineral resources as they may desire. Dr. R. L. Slagle, pfi‘e!ld#nl of the School of Mines of SBouth Dakota, will be in charge of this éxhibition. The congress invites manufacturers of mining machinery to send exhibits, and each company sending representatives with such exhibits will be given a cordial wel- ome. checlAl provisions will be made for re- rting in full the proceedings of the meet- r:& 5:.- representatives will be given speclal quarters and everything possible will be done to facilitate rapid and correct reports of the proceedings of the congress. Attractions of the Loeatio The meetings of the congress will be held in the very heart of the Black Hills and long and short excursions can be taken at the pleasure of the members and delega- tions. However, 8o as not to interfere with the program of papers and addresses, Spe- clal days will be set apart for excursions and it Is hoped, In this way, to economize time. Gbld mines in every stage of develop- ment may be seen in “The Hills.” The most remarkable of all of the mines is the famous Homestake, which is today the largest cyaniding plant in the world. The members will, for the first time in the his- tory of this mine, be given an opportunity to visit the underground workings. The Golden Reward and other great active mines of the Black Hills will also extend the same courtesies. To those interested in gold mining there could not have been selected a more tractive place to exemplify the results of persistent industry combined with the ap- Plieation of scientific knowledge. To the geologist the Black Hills presents ‘marvel- Ously interesting studies in strategraphical, structural, ignecus, metamorphis and eco- nomic geology. The scenic features of the Hills the unsurpassed by any area of like size in the mountains of the west. A trip over elther of the railroads that wind their sorpentenous courses into the hill fast- nesses presents a panorama of marvelous beauty, Special rates will be given for this occa. sion by all rallroads, and all delegates and visitors are assured of ample accommoda- ton and & most cordial welcome by the citizens of Deadwood and Lead and the state of South Dakota. It s not the ‘object of this congress to confine its consideration of subjects to that of mining for gold and silver and thelr by-products, but also that of copper, iron, lead, coal, marble, stone. the various fire ‘clays, -asphaltum and all kindred in- terests in the mineral and metallic classes. ‘Arrangements will be made for the secur- ing of special rates for all delegates and their friends.

Immediately after the passage of the water rescue parties were organized to ald the stricken citizens of Heppner.

Attention is next called by the inspector to certain vouchers, authorized to be paid by the first assistant postmaster general, such as July 2, 188, of Perry 8. Heath and George W.

Attention is called to seven cleaners placed on the pay roll under authority of the first assistant postmaster general. Neither the postmaster nor any one else was able to give any Information as to where they were employed or the nature of thelr work.
