Chicago Packers Await the Completion of the Secre- tary’s Investigation. All Ready to Prove That a Beef Com~ bine Does Not and Cannot Exist.

E. whole subject in charge for that firm, said the statement would not be made probably until Secretary Mortion had announced the results of investigations now being | made by his inspectors at various points. Mr. Martyn declined to comment on the interview with Secretary Morton, in which the Secretary adduces numerous things which, he says, go a long way to justify the claim that a beef ring exists. “We shall wait until the investigation is concluded,” said Mr. Martyn, “end then we will have something to say.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 26.—The work of protecting California miners against the rapacity of the Southern Paci- fic land-grabbing agents, begun by Repre- sentative Caminetti, is being prosecuted earnestly by the California Miners’ Asso- ciation. They have a regular agent in Washington for the purpose of looking after the interests of the miners of the State, and now he is re-enforced by the arrival of William C. Ralston of San Fran- cisco. It is alleged by the regular representa- tive of miners in this city that it is next to impossible for him to receive any satisfac- tion at the Interior Department when he goes there to protest against the granting of mineral lands to railroads, and he charges, furthermore, that the railroad’s land attorneys here are allowed unusual privileges. By an order promulgated by Secretary Hoke Smith, railroad land agents in the West are constituted judges of the character of the land selected | (whether mineral or non-mineral), their affidavits being sufficient. In vain have California miners protested against this unfair procedure. Represent- tive Hartman of Montana succeeded in having a bill passed through Congress suspending patents to raiiroads in his State until the lands had been classified. Rep- resentative Caminetti tried to have the same law made applicable to California, but the Nevada and Oregon Senators de- feated his purpose. He was only success- ful in securing a resolution requesting the Secretary of the Interior to suspend the issuance of patents until March 4. After the adjournment of Congress he remained in Washington for several weeks, in an attempt to get Secretary Smith to suspend them until the lanas were classi- | fied. It was understood that this would be | done, but it seems the miners are yet dis- satisfied, so Mr. Ralston, secretary of the | Miners’ Association, is here to look after | matters. | He had rather an interesting and breezy intetview with the Commissioner of the General Land Office yesterday, and as a | preliminary to farther action on the part of the miners he entered a formal protest against the issuance of these patents until the Land Commission can be appointed to properly classify these lands. If the de- partment decides that it has no power to appoint such a commission Mr. Ralsten | will ask that patents be suspended until Congress can create one. STRANGLED THE INFANT, Arrest of a Man Who Killed a Babe to Hide a Daugh- ter’s Dishonor. His Son, Who Is Studymg for the Ministry, to Be Taken as an Accomplice. WHITE HALL, Wis., April 26.—Alvas Andrus, a farmer living near Osseco, this county, was brought here to-day, charged with murdering the infant babe of his daughter, Mabel Andrus. The story of the crime, as reported by the danghter, who made the complaint, is that on April 28, 1892, when she was but 17 years old, she gave birth to an illegitimate child at her father's home, and that after its birth, it is alleged, he took the child from its mother’s side and strangled it to death, The body was buried near the barn, and the father threatened the daughter that she would be hanged if she ever told of the affair. Edward Andrus, the eldest son, is now a student at Lawrence University, at Apple- ton, this State, where he is studying for the ministry. The Sheriff has gone to ar- rest him as an accessory to his father’s | erime. ——— Mangled by a Train. ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 26.—On the tres- tle of the 8t.

BETRAYED BY THE WIDOW, Potter Eluded Detection Until He Tried to Secure a Wife. Swindling Operations of the Rascal Who Personated a Deputy Postmaster. CHICAGO, TLL., April 26.—A. D. Potter, who represented himseli to be the Assist- ant Postmaster at Denver, and whose arrest at Jackson, Mich., for swindling various postmasters throughout the coun- try was given in these dispatches last night, got along very nicely until he began to look for a wife. In an evil hour he be- came a patron of a Chicago matrimonial agency and secured the addresses of sev- eral women who were advertising for hus- bands. One of these was Mrs. Ida Champ- lin, a restaurant-keeper at Jackson, Mich. Potter went there a week ago and hunted her up. They talked of matrimeny, and after a few theater visits and moonlight buggy rides the wedding was set for Sun- day next. In one respect Mr. Potter was sharp. He made no attempt to swindle the Post- | master at Jackson, but he did something | fully as foolish. He went to the postoffice boldly and inquired about the woman he was tomarry. Secret Service Agent Chris- tian at once got a tip thata man closely re- | master from Denver” was in Jackson, and he went there. His first visit was to Mrs. Champlin, and from what she said he satisfied himself the man was Potter. The latter had taken a short trip out of town and was not expected to return until yes- teraay. When the train arrived Christian was at the depot with the Chief of Police, and as Potter stepped off the car he was arrested. At first he made a great kick, but finally admitted his identity and made no further trouble. The list of places at which Potter stopped and made levies of from $10 to $25, begin- ning February 5 until he was caught at Jackson, is made up solely from com- plaints received by the Chicago postal an- thorities, and as they are coming in every hour it is likely that he found more vic- tims than the record shows. The record is: Pekin, Ottawa, Ill.; Albion, Lansing, ‘Wayne, Kalamazoo, Mich.; Harrisburg, Penn.; Hagerstown, N. D.: Trenton, N. J.; Washington Courthouse, Ohio; Ston- ington, Conn., and Louisville, Ky. For a long time Inspector Stuart was baffled by the rapidity with which Potter traveled about the country. He had his description accurately. but could get no trace of his having bought tickets at any of the railway stations or scalpers’ offices. When the prisoner’s pockets were searched the secret of his extensive and rapid travel- ing was discovered. His wallet was full of railroad passes, all in his name, but given on widely varying accounts. Potter says he is a railroad man and served as conductor on the Denver and Rio Grande. He answers descriptions of the Potter who was arrested here last fall on the charge of defrauding John M. Smythe and other merchants by claiming to be an Hawaiian Consul. The charge on which Potter is held is “impersonating an officer of the Government with intent to defraud.”” The punishment is a fine of $1000, imprisonment not exceeding three years, or both, at the discretion of the court.

The Debs Case Coniinued at the Request of the Attorney-General. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 26.—Tt is stated here that the continuance of the Debs case has no significance. The Attorney- General wired the District Attorney at Chicago to continue the case until the July term of the court. It isexpected that by that time Judge Grosscup, who is ill, will have sufficiently recévered his health to hear the case. Judge Grosscup heard the previous case and granted the injunc- tion against Debs. He is particularly fa- miliar with all the questions involved and for this reason it is preferable to continue the suits until they can be heard before him. —_—— Wages of Employes Reduced.

ALL GO TO GREET HIM. Military Operations Aga'inst the Insurgents to Be Rushed. WILL SUBDUE THE REBELLION. Spain’s Soldiers Rely Upon the Patriotic Support of All Classes of People. HAVANA, Cusa, April 26.—Captain- General Martinez de Campos arrived here at 9:30 r. M. yesterday. Immediately after his arrival became known Generals Arde- rius Baraquera, Squero and Molines, with their aids-de-camp and a number of of- ficers of all grades, delegates from the vari- ous political parties and friends of those taking part in the reception, went on poard the steamer Villaverde in order to greet De Campos. The news ot the arrival of the Captain- General spread rapidly, and immense crowds soon filled the streets, and on the principal thoroughfares the national colors and patriotic emblems were everywhere displayed. After being taken ashore in a felucca the captain-general went to the palace and im- mediately afterward began giving orders concerning the conduct of the campaign against the insurgents. He says that the rainy season has re- tarded the advance of the troops, but nevertheless the military operations wiil be pushed, as the rebellion must be sub- dued promptly and effectively. He ex- presses the belief that this will soon be accomplished, adding that he relies upon the patriotic support of all classes of peo- ple. From 9 o'clock until noon to-day the captain-general received visits from the authorities. corporations and societies and from all others desirous of greeting him. He will soon leave Havana for the front. \ TACTICS OF INSURGENTS. They Collect Tribute by Threatening to Apply the Torch.

PROTECTION IS DEMANDED. Cubans Seek Better Tariff Laws From the Spanish Government. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 26.—Con- sul-General Williams, at Havana, Cuba, under date of April 17, sends to the De- partment of State the translation of a tele- gram sent by a committee of the repre- sentative sugar manufacturers, distillers and merchants of Malanzas to the resident Spanish Minister at Madrid, petitioning for the removal of the tariff obstacles to the entrance of Cuban products into the ports of the mother country. He inclosed a reply received from the Minister saying to the committee that the petitions can be granted only through legislative action, and that it was impossible to say when the Spanish department will be able to delib- erate on the matter. The petition asks free entrance for sugars and rum and free entrance and protection for molasses and tobacco; also for a law permitting the establishment of banks with 5 per cent tax on profits for a term of ten years, so as to attract capital. It also asks for the immediate promulgation of the law of agricultural edict now before Parliament, for a reduction of the import duty on articles of prime necessity and machinery so as to cheapen production and then adds: “The economic situation of the island is desperate. Such a terrible economic crisis has never before been felt. Governments of countries protect their sugar the same as Spain protects its home industry, and as Spaniards we ask protection for Cuba. Our producers clamor for preferential con- sideration. The situation asked is indis- pensable to save the island from imminent ruin.”’ The dispatch was signed by eight men as representatives of the assembly. Only a few moments is needed to prepare the light and tasty dishes in which Dr. Price’s Baking Powder is used. They are surprisingly delicious. e AKMY PROMOTIONS.

Enormous Profits of a Land Com- pany In Subletting the Indian Tracts. OMAHA, NEBR., April 26.—A special to the Bee from Lincoln says: The Federal court has refused to grant the injunction requested by the Government to restrain the Flournoy Land Company from issuing more leases on the Winnebago Reservation to settlers. This complicates the trouble. Captain Beck now declares that he will at once eject all the settlers now on the res- ervation. The decision was rendered by Judges Dundy and Riner, sitting together. Several months ago an order was issued restraining the land company from making any more leases. This injunction was con- tinued until such time as the case could be heard on its merits. It is said to-night that the ruling of the Federal court will not deter Agent Beck from proceeding with the eviction of the tenants who claim their farms under the disputed leases. Beck said to-night that he would at once evict all settlers. A conflict of authority is possible. In 1880 speculators began op- erating in these lands under illegal leases and have continued to do so ever since. The Flournoy Company leased 57,000 acres of land and sublet a large portion. It se- cured the land from the Indians for about | |20 cents an acre and sublet it from them for $150 to $2. All these original leases trom the Indians were clearly illegal and for years Indian agents have attempted to break up this system. In the five injunction cases being brought the same questions were raised. The attorneys for the Government asserted that the Government preferred to proceed by civil process instead of employing the military force at its command. All the Government wanted to do was to enforce collection of a fair lease and get rid of the speculators. The Indians were to be per- mitted to lease the lands in accordance with the established rules of the depart- ment at Washington. The court’s action to-day in refusing to order the land company and settlers to vacate its disputed lands makes the trouble more complicated than before. BOE e OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.

FORCE 1S REQUIRED, Nicaragua Not Disposed to Yield to Great Britain. MORE TIME NOT GIVEN., Offcers Hold Out to Avoid Being Compelled to Resign. JOHN BULL GREATLY PLEASED. Tickled at the Hands-Off "’ Policy of the Grover Cleveland Administration. LONDON, Exc., April 26.—In well in- formed English quarters to-day it is de- clared that the British ultimatum to Nicaragua has not been modified; that Admiral Stephenson has not been cabled to extend the time granted Nicaragua within which to pay the indemnity of $75,000 demanded by Great Britain, and in the absence of definite n: it is believed that the admiral has already occupied Corinto.
