TIMBER Ll) Flttl'lK The Great Sohema Which au Omaha Lum-ber Company Uai Been Operating. BENT MEN OUT BY. THE OAE LOADS To the State of Washington and Had Them File on Timber Land for the Company. Omaha. March 7. The government officials are investigating the case of thi! wholesale lumber merchant of Omaha, accused of attempting to secure-b-fraud thousands of acres of timber land in Washington. The firm has been sending car loads of men to th coast, furnishing them monuy and had them tile on the timber land, which was afterward deeded to the firm. Agents for the tirui have been at work in all the largo cities, employing idle men for the work. The company asserts it has a eapital stock of $."00,000, and with tho timber thus secured intend to bull tho markets of the world with dressed lumbor. A NEW ENTERPRISE. Which will b. Welcomed by Builders Throughout thi. Keirioo. The Salt Lako Geometrical Wood Carving and Manufacturing company will in a few days tile article of Incor-poration. Tho capital stock of $:W0,-00- 0 will be divided Into 110,000 shares of the par value of I0 each. Among the gentlemon who are taking an jtetive iuterest in the enterprise aro Lvi C. Cone, John A. Taylor. V. II. Crane and W. X. Oliver. The company will take in the Salt Lake Mantel Manufacturing company and the Footo Refrigerating company. The work of the Geometrical company will be conducted in tho building now occupied by the Foote Refrigerator company on ('one aud Huberts' addi-tion, west of the Warm springs. The wood carving mactiines used by the company are capable of turning out the tiuest sceimens possible. The machine makes its own designs and a policy of the company will be to fur-nish new designs each year. A number of tho architects of Salt Lake who have seen samples of wood carving done by the machine predict a revolution in the style of interior finish of houses ami These gentlemen also hail w it Ii delight the new invention as they rec-ognize in it a valuable assistant to pre-vent pursuing the stereotyped Easlluke style any longer. ' This enterprise is one of, if not the most important that has yet boeu added to Salt Lake. ! flllMOAD WON. Important Decision in a Suit of the Gov-ernment Against the tout hern Pacifio .Railway Companyi LABGE AREA OF LAND INVOLVED. Two Points of Vital Interest to Railways , Doided hut the Case Will ba Appealed. Los Angeles, Cala., March 7. In ' the United States circuit court a de cision was rendered in the case of tho United States vs. the Southern l'acilic Hallway company, giving judgment in favor of the railroad. The case involves a largo area of land claimed by tho government to have been illegally patented to tho company by reason of being embraced in the limits of the Mexican grant of San Jose, when the grant to the railroad was at-tached April a, 171. The government also claimed that tho consolidation of the Southern Pacific with other rail-roan- s was illegal and the right to earn the grant by constructing road, could not pass by" assignment to a consoli-- i dated company. liC Tho court held unanimously In favor i of the railroad on the latter point. But ' on the former it was divided, District I Judge Uose holding against the railroad and Circuit Judge Sawyer in its favor. Where tho judges dissent, the opinion ; of the circuit judge prevails and a do- - f cree therefore rendered against the government. Counsel for the government gave no-tice of an appeal to tho supreme court ; of the United States. BACCED THE BURCLAR. An ExoUIuk (hlii ll.tw.eu Oilier, .oil Marauder. At 4 o'clock this morning there was a hurdle race in the alley at the rear of Fred May's butcher shop in which the candidates wire Officers Glenn, Birk-ne- r and Barber while the fleeting game consisted af a marauder who had been making an effort to van-dalize the meat house. One of the officers drew and fired into the glit-tering tirinaneut. This had the desired effect and they linally plowed the mud to where lie stood, 'lhe fugitive was desperate and at once began a tight that was kept up until ho was lauded in the crib below where he was slated as Wil-liam Stewart and held on a charge of attempted burglarly. Aftr Crawford, A telegram was received at the marshals office this afternoon announc-ing that J. Edward Priest would arrive in the city tnis eveniugaud take charge of Crawford, the man who is wanted in A!huiueruu for embezzlement. The bird however will be hard to find. A telegram was also receipted for at head quarters that was addressed to Craw-ford. It is hardly probable that ho will call for it. it n ro.tinB. The officers again found tho necessity for calling the attention of the bill poster to the ordiuance governing it this morning, and several Hating posters were stripped from telephone poles and other landmarks. One of the brigade was run in finally, and tho riot act read with good old orthodox zeal by Captain 1'arker. folic. Picking.

It is Now Estimatal at All the way from Twenty-Seve- n to Forty-Fiv- e, WILL FEOBABLY BE THIRTY. The Cabinet Will Reassemble Next Week and April 23th is the Data Fixed for Parliament. Tkonto, March 7. Thero is con-siderable adversity of opinion as to tho actual majority the government ob-tained on the recent election. The Empire (conservative) says: More complete roturns show conserva-tive victory Thursday was of even more sweeping character than antici-pated yesterday. Our returns show the present .government's majority to be 4 V Tho Mail (Independent) places the government majority at "JO, with Cari-bou, Algona and Huntingdon to hear from. Tho World (conservative) places the government majority at 35. Twenty-seve- is the most the Globo (liberal) can make it. Impartial authorities place the gov-ernment's majority at 110. Commenting on the result of the elec-tion the Empire (conservative) says: "The opposition cause is lost, its forces beaten and demoralized. After the first few days of brag have passed by, we shall find the party taking quarters ou the old camp grounds of puerile dis-content and factious opposition." The Globe (liberal) says: The open-ing session will be awaited with inter-est. The cabinet has a question on its hands, the most dangerous of all being those growing out of the hostile atti-tude towards the United States. The liberal party will continue to advocate unrestricted reciprocity as the only practical solution of the existing diffi-culties short of a change of flag. For it is manifest, not merely that unre-stricted trade has come to stay, but that in spite of the temporary check, it is here to win. Ottawa, March 7. The cabinet will reassemble next week. Active prepara-tions for the work of the session are being commenced. It is understood that parliament will meet April 29. A HANDSOME TESTIMONIAL Pre.ent.it to secretary lllalno lr the Me-rchant, or New York. Washington, March 7. A testi-monial from the wholesale drygoods merchants, exporters and others of the city of New York, irrespective of party, was presented Secretary Blaine this morning, expressing their appreciation of his action in the matter of reciprocity with Brazil, und the trust that the wise and farseeing policy thus inaugurated may extend to other South American nations, thus materially increasing the commercial prosperity of the United States." The testimonial was signed by 200 prominent business men, representing invested capital of 00. 000,000. It was enclosed in a handsome morocco caso, suitably inscribed. INGALLSJMEST.

March 7. An article O contributed to the Now York Truth by Ingalls which has created H much continent, is iu substance as s: fj "The annual shriek about our de- - fA fenseless coasts, and tho bombardment of New York, Philadelphia and Boston L4 has not been omitted. The yearly pamphlet describing the blood-curdlin- ") incidents ami appalling consequences J of a war with Chillo und Spain in HMKi have been nut to each senator ami iu congress. Editorial csti. mates in the metropolitan press of the amount of property within the reach of an Italian ironclad in the lower bay and the ransom that could be extorted from the merchants aud baukers have) all boon submitted and filed away for use again in 1W. Their purpose is to reconcile the people to the pissage of a naval apportionment bill and to the enormous and profligate expenditures in time uf peace for ships, fortifications and munitions of war. "The capacity of the United States to create a navy iu an emergency was demonstrated in the rebellion. Thti duel between the Monitor aud Merri-ma- c in Hampton Koads revolutionized maritime warfare, and the problem has since been to construct an armor that no projectile could penetrate, and then to invent projectiles that no armor could resist. "Furopean nations have been con-ducting these experiments hitherto, and the ships of 1SMO are already antiquated. Dynamite and other explosives compli cate the situation, and the navy we are now huildirg, at a cost of $00. 000, (MX), will be us worthless in 1000 as the Ho-rn an galleys. England, France and Italy would gladly sell us their licet, at f)0 per cent of their cost. The millions we are squandering on vessels had bet-t- er be spent for earthworks, and power-ful guns to command every roadbed, channel and harbor which a hostile) tleet could threaten or assail. "Is tnere any necessity for spending millions every year for naval defense? Our policy is pacific. Our only enemy is England, aud she is under bond In keep the peace. No other nation is so vulnerable, anil nouu so detested. Slie has incurred the resentment of the hu man race by centuries of injustice. Fng-lan- d kicked us when we were helpless and feeble; Bhe sacked and burned our defenceless capital; she kicked Ireland; she kicked Egypt; she kicked the Hin-doos, the Boers aud the Chinese, but she is not in the habit of kit-kin- her ' equals. In our civil war she did all sha could short of open hostility to destroy the union and then apologized and paid damages. Lately we ban another con-tention about seal poaching and tha Behnng sea. A casus bellus could easily have been found if wanted, and we wera assured the danger was imminent. appropriations were voted for formications and the navy, and then, when the national hair was standing on end, England suddenly came into our supreme court as a suitor and submitted tho whole controversy to that great tri-bunal. It was reassuring, but it was laughable nevertheless." Chlr.ro'. Firtt Bte.1 Ship. Special to tho Times. Chicago, March 7. The Mariana, the first steel ship built in this city, was launched today from the yards of the Chicago Shipbuilding company. The ship was christoned by Mrs. W. J. Babeoek, wife of the manager. The dimensions of the steamer aro HOS feet over all, 80 feet beam, aud 84 feet deep. It has a displacement of 4000 tons. Another steamer, to be called the Masaba, a sister ship to the Mariana, will be launched within thirty days. THE ARCENTINE FINANCIAL CRISIS. run. Step.

A confor- - ; euce between the bankers and raer- - chants and the Argentine government I through the new minister of linanco I continued all day yesterday. Tho miu- - ; istcrof finance declared that the popular f' loan was subscribed for the provincial and national banks that could be saved, otherwise tho government must take I measures which will cause widespread i ruin, but which will save the banks, REPAIR THE ROADBED. Th. Condition nf tli. Tr.rk lletwneo Suit I.sk.and Junb (iom.thlUK Awful. Considerable criticism is being lodged by voyagers between this city and Nephi concerning the condition of the Union Pacific's tracks between those points. Tho roadbed is described as being in a most atrocious condition aud liable at any moment in the spring thaw to give way to a terrible calamity. The passenger train was again delayed last evening owing to the derailment of a freight car a short distance beyond Sandy, the occasion for the accident beiog nothing more than a rotten tie that crumbled under tho pressure of the rails. Nor is this the only tie en that route that is rotten and which is a sluiuberiug menace to human life. On the contrary, the road bed is ribbed with them for miles. Mere shells, they are scarcely responsi-ble for the monstrous tax imposed on them by the car wheel and coach and the powers behind the throne, who by their close policy are alone responsible for it, w ill some day be called upon to pay a severe penalty. Xo blame can rightly bo taxed to the local authorities who have had the niggardly and stingy police of their superiors drummed into them by day ami night ever since the pending con-troversy between the government and the corporation. They have detected the necessity of at all times keeping the readbed in perfect condition and have reported accordingly. If the gilded sovereigns who dictato and annually outlive the policy of the road believe this economy, it is certainly an eccentric brand. Terchance it may be a part of their tactics in bringing Uncte Sana to his knees and to tlmir terms. Th'e eminent gentle-men are all skilled in strategy but the traveler will interpose a deferential protest when called on to shed their blood that the weapons of the corpora-tion may prescut more hideous caste. It is agreed bore that there is an imperitive necessity for maintaining a perfect road bed and the sooner the potentate relaxes and allows it to go ahead tho better for tlieua aud the public.

THE ALLECED EMBEZZLER SUCCEEDS IN HIS TACTICS. Judge Ander.on Agree. With Conn.nl That th. Complaint I. InaulHelent. anil There I Nothing to Justify th. l.t.utlon of th. lri.onr. W. S, Crawford is a free man this morning. Judge Anderson before whom tho ap-plication for a habeas corpus was ar-gued, ordereil the prisoner discharged. The case had been hanging tire for several days, the policy of the prosecu-tion being to delay the hearing as long as possible that tho marshal of Albu-querque, at which place the oll'ense is said to have been committed, might be present at it. A telegrapher's copy of the complaint was all that gave any particulars whatever iS the alleged of-fense on which the prisoner was held. It recited that Crawford nad been iu the employ of H. M. Herrick of Albu-querque, and that he had emhezzled monies in the sum of $S00. Officer Eck-lun- d who made the arrest also f wore out a complaint charging embezzlement, and upon these the issue went to trial. Judge Powers, who had joined Mr. Costollo as counsel for the defense contended thit, the return was insuff-icient and that if the defendant was held on tho complaint from New Mex-ico, it was illegal because the copy was not certified to in any way and was not evidence. The same applied to tho complaint made here. Jt was illegal because at the time of its making there was no charge against the prisoner in New Mexico and further, was incom-plete. In support of this position Judge Powers cited numerous authori-ties which was followed by a most vig-orous appeal. Assistant City Attorney Eiehnor made a reply to Judge Powers when the case was submitted and the pris-oner discharged. Crawford when aked for his version of the affair said he had none and that the proceeding was a surprise to him. His business, he says has been that of wool buying and at limes he has had occasion to handle sums of $J0,000. lie expressed an intention of locating per-manently in Zion and carrying ou his operations from this point.

An inquest on the bodies of Hans Olscn and Barney Cast, who lost their lives in tho Alta slide of March 4, was held this morning. The facts devel-oped w ere much tho same as heretofore published that fourteen men had left the Emma mine to go to Tannes's for beef, and on their return trip nine of them were caught in a snow-slide- . Four of those caught were able to ex-tricate themselves, but Thompson, Hausman and F'ord had to be assisted. It was but tho work of a minute to un-cover two of them, Hwrrsman and Thompson. Aftor two hours of tho most incessant labor, Barney Cast was found dead and a few minutes after-wards, to their gratification, F'ord was found alive, but badly shaken up. AU the afternoon they toiled, and long into the night, vainly looking for poor Olson. Ex-hausted, they were compelled to throw down their tools. Farly in the morn-ing the search was resumed, which was rewarded by the finding of their friend about 10 o'clock. Hans Olson did not, a mark on him and no bones were roken. He was about 50 years of age and leaves a wife and four children. His wife is now confined to her bed, and has not been apprised of his death. Barney Cast had some abrasions and contusions about his face and head and it is thought his neck was broken. Ho was a single man 45 years of age. Ford, who was recovered alive, is in the city, at St. Mark's hospital. Wheu the evidence was all in, the jury rendered a verdict that death was caused by a snowslide on March 4. 4 lie I.

Th. rreslclent Appoints .linnet II. Heaty District Julie, of Idaho. Washington, March 7. The presi-dent has appointed James H. Beatty.of Idaho, United States district judge for that territory. Mr. Dnncrherty l.auds Mr. Cleveland. Chicago Tribune. Danitd Dougherty, the "silver-tongue- d orator," was at the auditorium yesterday, and tho most earnest senti-ment which he expressed in the course of a breezy talk on politics was the ac-knowledgment of how deeply honored he should feel if he were again per-mitted to place in nomination for tho presidency tho name of (irover Cleve-land. "I disiike machine politics," he said, "and hence I am little able to talk of current political affairs. When, how-ever, the name of Cleveland becomes part of the question, as it will in' tho near future, the word politics wlil mean something higher. Cleveland is now, as always, free from the taint of the macbins. Ho is nut a politician. I sometimes regret that he has not the magnetism which many of that class possess, but after all he scarcely needs such a thing. His great strength is due to his fearless honesty. The coun-try has faith in him because of his bold and candid sentiments on pub-lic questions expressed without con-sideration of what may be the side popular with the politicians. His stand on the silver question the latest evideuce of this quality will not injure his prospects, for the people see in it but another evidenco of his inde-pendence and absolutely unblemished character. Thero is never any mis-taking his sentiments or intentions. As to Hill, I would not care to predict, for no one seems to know his position in regard to the presidency, although his friends claim that he is iu the race. I called upon him in Albany the other day, but he said nothing on this sub-ject, and, inasmuch as he has not him-self saiil so, 1 do not think his election to the senate removes him from the list of possible presidential candidates. I cannot say positively that Mr. Cleve-land will be the nominee, but I can honestly say that I hope he will be. We will need tho strongest man in tho party as a leader, especially should Blaine bo tho nominee of the republi-cans. Blaiue is unquestionably the greatest of his party and he is at least as strong today as he has ever been. Reciprocity has perhaps made him more so, forthe'east has lost its love for a high tariff." Referred to th. Attorney General. Washington, March 7.
