Show . 'AH a Senseless Canard. . ' In addition to the press dispatch which came over the wires to-day denouncing the reported interview of General Dement De-ment with Secretary Lamar and Commissioner Com-missioner Sparks, as published on Saturday, Satur-day, Governor- Murray received two telegrams' from the Surveyor-General in reply to his own, and in both of them General Dement emphatically denies the whole report. His Excellency the Governor, who had - - taken some of the . . grave charges home to himself, took occasion to wir tha. new Surveyor-General asking if the interview inter-view which came in the press dispatches Saturday was actually had. In one of his replies General Dement says: "No! No! No I It is alia senseless canard" The sensation which Saturday's news created has changed its complexion, it might be said, instead of dying out altogether, alto-gether, as there are many influential citizens citi-zens of the .opinion that something in the nature of an interview must have taken place, or at least General Dement must have furnished a starter for the exciting statements which were telegraphed from Washington.
