A Parts correspondent of the Times says: "The new Kmperor of r.ussia Is almost entirely Ignorant of the tSairs of state. He will probably seedily set aside his father's advisers. The Privy Councillor, pobedonossew, would bring with hlrn bias and narrowness, such as would not allay the internal or foreign disquietude. As to a domestic policy, neither the Czar's personal capacity Jior his friends and advisers, nor the circuaistances of his accession warrant the cxlectation oi hk Inaugurating a more conciliatory or liberal course. All indications are that he will adopt the repression. The Czar is said to be anti-German, but this is a vague expression." PI1E HAS 5KIITED. A Vienna dispatch says: "The Princeis Iolgouremki. the Morganatic wlte of the late Car, has k ft St. Petersburg and w ill not return." lAWHOTK O.X TIIK DEAD EMPEROR. In the Commons. Gladstone moved an address to the Queen, expressing the sentiments of the lloose relative to the assassination of the Emperor of Kits-da. Northcote seconded the motion, echoing Uladstone's laudation of the Czar. The addfesti was unanimously adopted: also, a resolution of condolence with the Inichess of Edin burgh, moved by Gladstone and seconded by Nartheote. headstone, in moving the address, dwelt npon the noble self-forgetfulness with which the Czar, after the first attack, lingered to sec to the wounded. The crime showed the deepest ingratitude. -I here might be cases for criticism and censure iu the great Empire over which the Czar ruled, hut these w ere inherited. The sole labor of iti devoted life was to improve his inheritance foT the benefit of hi subjects. His reign would 1 regarded as illustrious and memorable.

Uccetving n.) anxwer to hU knock, the orderly opened the door, and found the officer dead in bed. The alarm instantly given, and several .lacers of the regiment having hastened to the room, it was discovered that the General had committed suicide. Tbe revolver was still grasped in his hand, und a bullet wound through his mouth into the brain told his story of death plainly. The body was cold and stiff, and life had evidently been extinct several hours, probably since midnight. No papers or anything that might serve to indicate tbe cause of the act haTe as yet been discovered, but neither the body , uor tCccta tu his rvwn have been touched, awaitr

lng the arrival of the Coroner. The general Impression, however, seems to be that grief at the loss of his wife prompted the suicide.

NEWS FItOM THE CAPITAL. PROFOUNDLY TOUCHED. The Secretary of State has received from Gen eral Foster. United States Minister at St. Peters burg, the following: Blaine, Secretary of State. Washington: Tbe Minister for Foreign Affairs says the Em peror was profoundly touched by the expressions of sympathy of the President and Senate of your country. for which the deceased Kmperor professed sincere esteem ana earnest inenasnip. it is a leg acy which he leaves to Emperor Alexander, and which His Majesty, in accord wnn trie uusfian Nation, accept from the depths f his heart. rosTEK, .Minister. Vasius;ton. D. C, March IG, 1881. To Noyes, United States Minister, Paris: Sir Your course respecting the pork aecree of the French Government is approved. The statement of Crump, acting british Cousul at Philadelphia, occasioned excitement and widespread coiumeiit here, leading to correspondence with tne llrittsh Legation and Hoards of Trade. Hog cholera is confounded with trichinosis, w hich Ls an entirely distinct disease. Rut the representations regarding hog cholera are very greatly exaggerated. The most searching investigation fails to shov any basis for tbe pub lished statements, l tie mortality among the very young swine from cholera has been less this year than for several years past, and the condition of full-crown hogs, which are alone used for packing and export, is this year exceptionally good. The lirltlsn Representative at Philadelphia has appar ently b)cn misled by designing speculators to the great injury of legitimate trade. Deny in tne strongest terms tne re port of the British Cousul should the French Ministers appeal to it as justifying them in interdicting or re stricting the American pork trade. instructions win loiiow. Blaine, Secretary. AN EXTRA SESSION. A Democratic Senator asked the President to-lay if there would be an extra ses Jon of Congress. The President did not answer positively. but tne Senator says he intimated in language not to be mistaken that an extra session will be called. The Presideot also gave Sunset Cox to understand that the calling of an extra session has been determined upon. The Republican Senators have all agreed to-day that a session must be called, and several of them said the proclama tion will le issued Wednesday. The liest informed say Congress will le convened in May, so as to give time for special elections to till vacancies in Maine and New York. Morton, it ls understood, will not go to France until after the extra session meets. This would leave only Fernando Wood s vacancy to be filled in New York. The report reached the Democratic leaders that Cornell would not call the election this spring, thus preventing the election, of a Democrat in Wood s place. The lemocrats communicated with Governor Plaisted, of Maine, and it is reported he has af sored them that he will not order an election to till Frye's place, until one la ordered in New York to till Wood's. The Democratic Senators say theie's never been any difference of opinion in their caucuses on the question of resisting change of Senate officers that the only differences were as to the plan of procedure. They are apparently determined to tillibusTer against any change. Two Republican Senators are absent, and Anthony is con fined to his room with a severe attack of rheumatism, reducing the vote of that side to thlrty-Hve, three short of a quorum. If an extra session is to be called, however, Indications are that the Democrats will then submit to the new officers. ANOTHER CROOKED ST. LOUIS NOTARY. Secretary Blnine makes public a communication from the Rank of England concerning the notice or baud bill of a St. Louis Notary Public relative to uuciaimes dividends, in which he re fers, as to inU'grity. etc., by permission, to the Rank of England. The letter slates the N'obiry is not in any way authorized to use the name of the bank as reference, and adds: "From the terms of the notice which was received, from, appa rently, a poor woman In Cornell County, Livingstone. III., it would seem thee notices are being extensively circulated in the l'nlted States. The supposition is con tinned by the marked increase m the previously large number cf groundless applications for unclaimed moneys received bv the Rank from the Cnited States. Nearly the whole of these applications are. so far as the bank is concerned, based on erroneus data, obtained protiably from the very old lists of unclaimed dividends which referred to funds long since reclaimed. r from advertisements that appear wnen reclaims are maae. TIIK DEMOCRATS WILL FIGHT. Washington, March 1 The Democratic Senators have determined to resist any and all attempts of the Republicans to put in new officers. inepianot action is not yet definitely adopted but will be at a caucus on Monday morning. The Democratic Senators who opposed fillibustering have been overruled. The ground of resistance will be that the present employes of the Senate believed all along that tbe Hciuocrats had a ma jority, and that many of them live in distant states, but none have prepared for so sudden a dismissal. The iK'iuocrats will fight to postpone tnecnangcoi oincers unui iecemoer. The Re publicans know of this determination and eipect a stubborn contest. David Davis will not fillibuster. but the thirty-seven Democrats can, by dil atory motions ana consuming me time with siieeches. make a stand lor a few davs. The Re publicans have not yet considered the election of olheers. but will probawydo so on Monday. The Senate routirmed John W. Powell, of Illinois, as li rector of the Tnited States Geological Mirvey. vice Clarence king, resigned; Herman Harber. Jr.. as Kecelvcr of Public Monevs at Mitchell, Dakota: George W . Joues, of Ohio, Assistant Paymaster in iL Navy. WILL RECEIVE THE FORE CONDITIONALLY.

CONSIDERATE REPUBLICANS. Washington. March 19 Several Republican tenaiors, among whom are ingalls and R'air, think the KepubLeans should ton with tbe Com mittees and let the tliessoerats bold the Senate orhees umil liecember. unless an extra session be called. 1 he Pemucrata are united iu the deter mination to lijrht against any present change of officers. Messrs. bayesd, Hampton and several others, who advocated the policy of a general surreuder, have bot-n overruled by the voice of tbe caucus, and the opinion now is that the ortieers will not be ehanaed until December, uu leas an extra session of Congress Is called.

Another, tbe worst storm of the season, set In early this morning, aud np to this hour (noon) the snow has been falling rapid ly, so that it now lies three to four inches on the level. A fierce wind accompanied It, but so solid was the snow hat It did not drift perceptibly, and the wet and solid mass lies on the streets and pavements like so much ice. The stetm cars generally arrived on time, at they were nearly here when the storm bcts'an, but tno streetcars, after keeping up the battle for two or three hours, yielded to the Inevitable and sought their barns. The snow plows took their place on the tracks and attempted to open the roads, but with little snccess, for their six and eight horw were barely able to keep the snow from the track, and it fell nearly aa fast as it was pushed on". The streets were blocked with iedestrlans during the morning, and later 'buses and carriages were improvised to accommodate travel. The telegraph wires are weatherbound to most principal oinui, and in the city there is great Interruption ir. telephone and district telegraph busiuess. The wires look like two-Inch roes with their heavy wrappers of snow. Inquliy at railroad otlices shows that the storm was not ery severe in the North, but extended west as fir as Omaha, South to St. Louis and Kansas City, and etst on the ltttsbnrg and Fort Wayne as far as Crestline. The railroad men say there will be great delays if the storm continues much longer, as it Is of the most dangerous charai ter of any this season. At midnight, affairs iu the street have gone on from bad to worse on account of the storm, and at present the snow, which has been falling rapidly since 5.30 this morning, is beginning to come less heavily, and will probably stop falling entirely soon, me result oi tne aay s storm is irora six to eight inches of exceedingly compact snow, which is so solid that pedestrians can walk on top of it without perceptibly reduc ing its height, cne thermometer nas reen very near bnt a trirl above the freering point all day, and is now slowly rising. The roornlDg trains arrived' very closely on time, but to-night there are serious delays on all lines. All freight. trains are abandoned. The Northwestern Road sent ou; only one train to Milwaukee, and no others except suburban trains. The C. R. and (J. trains are blockaded. The Alton train arrived an hour late. The Illinois Central trains are slow, but running ith some regularity. The Pittsburg and JrL Wayne trains arc almost on time. The Michigan Central is far behind, and sent out only one train to-night. The Michigan Southern trains were delayed by a bad wreck fifty miles from the city. The 'incoming trains are six hours late. They send out only one train. The Pittsburg and Fort Wayne Justified IU reputation by sending out all its trains on time. The roadi particularly mentioned in the above report have ei'her abandoned all trains or run only suburoan ones. The w ires being prostrated in nearly every oirection, It is impossible to learn the fate of trains that havo gone out, and many of them may be blockaded only a tew miles from the city. There has been almost a complete stoppage of local travel and traffic, and to-uigbt not a street car is running in the city. The snow is piled tip between the enr trucks and sidewalks sohlgh and firmly that it is Impossible to crowd the snow back from the tracks. It is a problem of vital interest to citizens, how long the resent state ol analrs ls to continue, joining but a heavy rain or very warm weather will af ford speed v rtlief from the embargo, and there would be a flood If either of these came about. IN MISSOURL St. Louis. March 19. The heaviest snow storm of the winter prevailed here all day with a strong driving wind from the vVest, but the snow melted as fast as It fell, and the streets to-night are filled with slush, in some places several inches deep. Dispatches from different jsirts of the State say the heaviest snow of the senson has fallen since last night. esieciallY that part of the Slate north of the .Missouri Kl ver. ine average aeptn of snow is over a foot, but In some p. aces two feetflccp. Railroad travel is a good deal impeded and busi ness suffering, but no trains are reported abandon ed. The snow will probably disappear in two or three days, and treshets in the small streams may be expected. FORGED TITLES. An Important Arrest In St. Louis By Gov ernment Oflirer. St. Louis, Mo., March 15. United States Special Agent I. D. Tyrrell, arrested here to-day, Robert L. Lindsay, a well knswn lawyer and an investi gator f'f titles, on the charge of conspiracy to de fraud the Government out of lands by uttering false deeds under fraudulent titles. These operations appear to have extended over a long period ot years commencing prior to 1SC0, and it is In ti mated that from 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 acres of lands in Wayne, Butler. Shannon, Ripley, Ore gon, Carter, Reynolds, Ment, Iron and other Counties of Southeastern Missouri are involved. The frauds were originally perpetrated under tbe graduation act passed byCongress inlSM.Under this act a large amount oi lana la mis Mate was grad uated in price irom si down to twelve and a half cents per acre, and any one could enter 3J0 acres for actual settlement, on application to the register of the land office, and paying the price of land. On subsequent proof of the settlement the Government patents were issued and title perfected. Itapjiears that as long ago as between 1S56 and 100 hundreds, perhaps thousands, of applications were made lor the cheapest grade of land, the ap plicants oeing cnieny men wno were hired lor this purpose by bauds of simulators on these applications and subsequent proof of settlement the latter being as is now asserted, composed largely of false affidavits. A great number of patents passed into the handsof these speculators or, as they are now called, swindlers. Some of these parties are now dead. but others were snbsequedlly engaged in the operations even as late as two years ago and lived, and are now living in various parts oi tne country. From 181 to Inog, and since 1810, a large number ol land warrauis disappeared from the land office at Ironton, apparently without the k no wieder of the Kesristerer. Under these patents, and the hundreds acquired previously, an immense amount of laud has been sold and deeds dismissed by parties of nearly all the large cities in this country. There seems to be a regular organized band engaged in this work, of whom Special Agent Tyrrell regards Lindsay the chief conspirator. In fact, other and very important arrests were made simultaneously with that of Lindsay, and still others will be made Those arrested so far are Orland tanhise. John K Car in, lawyers or real estate agents of Cleveland: George Linn, of Linndale near Cleveland: Addison F. Burns, real estate agent, and II. R. McClallai a notary of Pittsburg. There are still others im plicated in the swindle in New York. Phiiadel phla. Chicago and other cities, and additions arrests mav he looked for at any time. The deeds issued by these parties have been manipulated in a manner not usual with land swindlers and everr thing looks fair and honest. but stnpendous frauds have teen systematically perpe uated, and nunareaa, pernapa thousands ci bcrsons now settled upon or have Rennt red land in Southeast Missouri, the title to whlchhs utterly valueless. A thorough Investigation of the swindle will be made by United States District Attorney Bliss, and all parties will be dispossessed of the laud they have acquired under these fraudulent deeds and illgally secured patents. It is estimated that several million acres of land will revert back to the Government when the affair is straightened out. Robert T. Lindsay haa borne a good -character here, and bis father, Jnmes Lindsay, was Register of Land at Ironton for several years. There is no evidence, however, that he was at any time concerned in tbe swindle. It is expected that one or two other arrests will be made here to-morrow. The If usiness as tbe Country. New York. March 1C The public Exchanges for the second week of March the receipts were naturally much sroalier than for the week ending March 5. yet they exceed those of the corresponding wreck of last year at everv city, except two, where tbe decrease, was Insignificant. This fact and a gain of 11.5 per cent in the agcrev pates Exchanges out side of New York I must be regarded aa surprising, if is considered, first, that the extraordinary storms have e gused an almost total blockade of Hues for transportation in ertaln regions, and particularly about Chicago and Milwaukee; second, that the range of prices is fully 12 per cent below that of March of ISN), and third, that the recent violent shock in the money market has tended to cause sauen hesitancy in business operations. Under these circumstances the unusual unanimity of the increase and magnitude of the gain at nine of the cities, make the return peculiarly strange Exchanges for the week ending March written last night, tn which he intimated something mlg.U btppen. and to Captain Dyer, an unfinished one, la which he expressed Uie opinion

hat his revised tactics would be a failure. The letters will not be published until after the inouest to-morrow. Among his army friends the lccef.sed's suicide ls attributed to far that by failaruof his work on tactics he would lose his reputation.

FOR EX-I'RESI DENTS. t Income The Fond of 250,000. the of Which is to be Enjoyed by the Oldest Ex-President, Subscribed. New York, March 17. In November last the Times appealed for National subscriptions to provide a perpetual fund whise annual income should be enjoyed during life and while not holding any Federal office, by the oldest ExPresident of the United States, The desired amount of the fund was stated s t2T0.0U0, and its probably yearly Income at fliOUO, The Ufk of raising the fund was undertaken In peoson by General Joues. and the reuord of his completed work is contained in the following report: "I have the pleasure to announce that of ihe entire amount of 150.000 which has been subscribed. f-JlA.OUU has boen paid in. The outstanding subscriptions are mainly those of a few subscribers for large amounts, who are at present out of the country, aud who have not yet had time to answer ray request for their payment. The ainojnt now already received has been invested by a Committee consisting of E. D. Morgan, Oliver Hoyt and George Jones, and will yield an annual income of 13.100. Should the remainder be invested to equal advantage the fund will yield over 115.000 a year. The great majority of tne subscribers deem it inadvisable to make public the names of those who have contributed to the fund, and about S.ri0.ouo has been sulscribed on the distinct understanding that the names of donors should be kept secret 1 may say, however, that n analysis of the subscription shows the following distribunm of amounts: TwosubscTibersof Si',000; three. f tlO, uuu; eighteen, of .",0iU; three, of ti.WO; two, of 2.000; forty-eight, of f 1,000; one, of 700; twentyone, of $."00: twenty-five, of fZW; live, of JW; thirteen, of 100; one, of t-V); various subscribers for small amounts. SIM: total. $J'i0.000. When it becomes necessary to provide for the ultimate destination of the fund, a meeting of the subscribers will be called. 1 GeorofVones, Treasuier. The Times savs: "At the earlv staire of his labors, Mr. Jones found it would be necessary to abandon the idea of donating the income of the tuna without reserve to the benefit of the oldest Ivlng President. The unanimous consent of those appealed to waa that the fund should be regarded merely as an Imperfect substitution for t K i. IV . T k f nf V alio rial nr. .i-i stn -. ilmiy a. 1 flMut and that the final destination of the principal sho ild be a matter enliiely within the discretion of the subscribers for making a portion of the am r int. Other arguments, save the one drawn from the pre-eminent service" oi General Grant to the Ajneri ran people, would hae availed to raire the fund to the desired limit. No other native sav-j his could have prompted met. differing in everything else to respond promptly and ungrudgingly to the up ieai wnoae result are now belwre the public. While professed Republicans constitute a great majority of the subscribers, the list contains the names of men not identified with either party, as well as some prominent' Democrats. One of ihe latter class appears as a subscriber for tlO.ooo." ST. PATRICK'S DAY. Very Oniet Celebrations in, the Different Cities. New York, March 17 Dispatches from Eastern and Southern States and Canada represent St. Patrick's Day as observed more quietly than usuul, the procession in many cases being dis pensed with, meetings, games and various amuse ments taking the place of the parade. Cincinnati. March 17. St. Patrick's Day was celebrated by a very small parade, in which three societies apjiearefi. i ne weather was rainy iur lng the lorenoon, and tne streets were In a wretched condition, which no doubt reduced the magnitude of the demonstration. CittCAdo. March 1. lellow and green ribbons in the button noies indicates that to-day Is a. Irish holiday, but beyond this token and tbe celebration in St. Patrick's Church of high niasa by Arcnoisnop renan.tnereisno evidence that the usually lively and hilarious St, Patrick s Dav r.as arrived. The Societies are barred from parading dt ine RDomiuame condition oi tne streets, and also by their inclination to use the money which would be so expended in ameliorating the sutlerings and strengthening the bonds of their fellowcountrymen acrots tne Atlantic in obtaining wuat tney consider to oe tneir rights as against the oppression of landlords. The Irish citizens here have sent considerable sums of money, and it is understood more is ready to go forward now tor that purpose. New iork. March 17. A majority of the Irish swx'ieiies oi mis eity and Brooklyn ce'ebrated st, Patrick s Day by meetings in various parts of the two cities. A much smaller procession than usual formed up town and was reviewed by the Mavor and Aldermen. The procession then proceeded to Jones' woods, where a demonstration was given in aia oi me i-ana league. St. IiOCis, March 17. The Irish citizens eel ebrated St, Patrick's Day in the usual manner. A procession embracing most of the civic Societies of the city paraded the principal streets, after which a mass meeting was held at Twelfth street and Market Square. To-iiight the Knights of SL Patrick have their annual banquet, and numer ous balls and parties are iu progress in various parts or me city. San Francisco, March 17. St Patrick's pro cession was not so large as usual, owing to disa. greements among the Irish, but what there was of it was a good display. TIIK SOCIALISTS. A Large Meeting in' New York and Incen diary Resolutions Adopted. New York, March 13. The meeting of Social ists to-night was largely attended. Justus II Schwab presided. William Drnery, the French Communist, said that Russia had two loug neglected the warnings of men of thought and freedom, who had finally broken their chains of bondage Dy removing from the face of the earth the greatest tyrant Russia had ever known. The Imperial families in En rone must go. The world had been checked bv those people long enough, and the people were tired of mem. He liked to see all human butchers die, aud while he regretted the shedding of human blood, he re joieed that the Emperor had been killed, because be had been the cause of the death of thousand of people. Resolutions were adopted congratulating the world upon the overthrow of absolutism of feudal aristocracy iu Russia, the people of Europe npon the removal of the greatest obstacle to the establLshmeut of a Western Republic by fellow Socialists; that the great prop of Monarchie! iusiiunions which had supported kingcraft throughout the world, bad been shaken to its very core by the fall of the Czar, and that the way is being cleared for the foundation of a social Republic, and calling upon the lib-erty-loviug people of the cnited tJtates to rejoice in the overthrow of the Czar, especially as they tejoleed at the overthrow of Maximilian, whose presence, endangered republican institutions. The address to their fellow-worklngmen in Russia, to their best friends and most active partisans, and to the Nihilists vill be forwarded. The address is as follows: 'T11 the worklngmeu of Russia, between the aristocracy and prolitariat there can be no compromise; between parasites and producers there can be no peace. While louts aud loafers live in luxury upon the products of labor, we must Suffer ami slave. Brothers, your cause is that of an oppressed aeainst oppressor. That cause is a holy cause. That cause is not only for Russia, but for all countries. It ls universal, brothers. We approve your actions. We approve your methods. Between you and your oppressors there can be no truce. Kill, destroy, assasinate annihilate, even to its very germ your aristocracy. Have for them no feelii g of . love, for they are incapable of that noble emotion. " Addresses were also delivered in Russian and German similar in import to the resolution. The Ice-Uoand Tug. Chicago. March 21. "Dutch Fritz." or Fred Belderbausür, who, with a small skiff weighing 150 pounds, started acrosa the fields ol ice with provisions yesterday afternoon to relieve the icebound tug, O. B.

He was knee-deep in water, and worn out w ith baul'ng the heavy boat wnen he reached the tug, after four hours, however, and was heartily welcomed by the men who had been without food since Saturday. Tho hardy Fritz, undismayed by his previous experience, soon launched out directly for South Chicago, and got in after six hours' work.

DOWN WITH THE KINO! Excitement in MAdrid Because of Such Fre quent ExclAmatloDs. New York, March 21. A correspondent tele graphs that a considerable sensation was caused In Madrid by the fact that a few hours before King Alfonso received the new of the assassination of the Emperor of Russia he had met a party of workmen as he was rettsrnlng from hunting in El Prado. who cried out as he passed. "Long live the Federal Republic! Down with the tKinir!" Only after nine days of investigation were the police able to discover tne offenders. The Governorof Madrid gave much offeirsc to the courtiers and conservatives by tolerating an anniversary proclamation of the Commune banquet ot 150 Federals aud Communists who feasted in Madrid and consent to telegrams to Kochefort aud other French intransigaiiL. The King and aristocrat have been much affected of late by the clandestine prot'-lamatlons and prints of tbe Federal juntas, distributed in the barracks of the large towns and in the naval arsenals, and others that have found their way even into the Palace. LIBERALISM, fTC, IX FRANCE. Marshal Campos, on leaving the Palace one morning recently, was much Incensed to hear the lads selling a Republican newstiaper boldly crying out: "Latest Intelligence of numerous Republican banquets." under (he windows of the royal residence. 'I his led to a sharp remonstrance by the Marshal and Alono Martinez and Vega Armijo. Ministers of Justice and Foreign Affairs, who all objected to the toleration, as shown bv the provincial authorities, to the system of agitation that spread from the towns to "the rural Districts with such steadiness that it alarmed the Court. clergy and nobility, and made Catholics of the ipper classes join the conservative opiosiiion. SagustH and a majority of Ministers declared they believe that the banqi et meetings and journals of the Federals and Republicans are narmies, because they glaringly reveal the divisions, disputes and rivalry between at least ten schools of Demociacy at war with each other, even more bitterly than against monarchy. The real object of the Sagustft in tolerating the spread of this agitation is to secure allies iu the next general election, and also to create such a wwerf ill organization of Dem cracy and Liberalism, as would make an curly return of the Ca nova s or Conservative policy really perilous for the existing institutions. The influence of Marshal Servans is also ery active in his toleration of Re publicanism, as saiiasta consults the Marshal as much as Democratic parlies, and looks on Servans with marked benevolence. The Conservatives afleet to believe that on such questions Sugasta will soon qnarrel with his military allies, who like Campos, are devoted Royalists," aud already usiiKe tne aspect oi tne agitation. . now IT WAS. Information as to How Tbe Government Learned of the Missouri Laud Swindle. The information which led to the exposure of the alleged land swindle in Missouri and the arrest of Robert L. Lindsay at SL Louis, and of other alleged land swindlers at Cleveland and Pitts burg, was instigated by a letter received by Secretary Schurz more than a year ago. This letter sta led Undsay. whose father had once been in charge of the Ix.nd Office at Ironton. Mo., had in his k)(-scksioii one or two boxes filled w Ith United tatts Land Patents, which were certainly genuine although Liudsay might have obtained them by questionable meant. The writer of the letter alleged that Lindsay kept theae boxes concealed, and had queer dealings with queer people. The writer, wno professed to be a friend to Secretary Schurz suggested, in conclusion, it miht bo well to look into the matter. The secretary secured Special Agent D. P Terrell, of the Treasury Department, to investigate the mutter. The result was tbe arrest of Lindsay and several other persons. It is believed at the Land Otl'n-e that the ting have obtained fraudulent laud titles to more than 1,000,000 acres of public lands, most of which they have sold to innocent settlers, who therefore have no valid Lilie to the land they occupy. Tbe Government officials say it rests with the secretary of tne luterior and the Attorney General to decide whether civil suits shall be begun at once to vacate the titles to these lands. It is believed whatever is determined upon it will be so" arranged that the blow shall not fall too heavily upon the thousands of duped settlers, whose hitherto undisputed titles to their homes have been rendered invalid by mis exposure. CHINA AND JAPAN. The Relations lletweeu These .Countries Thought to be Feverish. 8an Francisco, March 17. Late advices from Japan state that the relations between that eoun try aud China are strained, the latter rctallat lng for Japan's course in the Formosa and Loschew affairs when China was in difficulty, It is believed in Yokohoma, that China and Rus sia have made a secret treaty directly concerning Japen, second, the Tong treaty has also its secret agreement or comiaci relating to mat countrv. The terms of the settlement with Russia are given out with much ostentation, but well-informed people regard these terms as materially qualified by tbe sub sidiary compact, the terms of which are not noweven hinted at. Tue attitude of Russia aud the large fleet main lained by that power in Chinese aud Japanese waters are matters of increasing sus picion and anxiety. Tbe hostile bearing of China will tax the resources of Japan to the tit most in defense preparation at a time when the financial difficulties of the Nation are over whelming, aud the entire specie reserve iu the Treasury is uot more than tl2,ouo. An unprecedented numoer of large fires in Tokio thi year has eomi-elled the authoi ine to move in the matter. Orders have been given to the effect that all houses built oi burned places must be built of same natcrial as native godows. The last fire in Tokio passed over ten streets and consumed 1.60:1 houses and twentytwo godowns. The iiopuistiou rendered noraeless by the calamity was 5,32. AT LAST.
