[ Special Tele- Tain to the BKI.J The grand jury , at its esslon just closed , found indictments igalnst J. J. Chadwick and C. II. Fisher , of he North Crow Crook Cattle company , for ( legally fencing public land. The land In question Is within the railroad limit , and consists of about two .sections. A motion to [ juash the Indictments made by Chadwick ml Fisher's attorneys was sustained In the district court to-day , Chief Justice Magln- 11 Is deciding that the indictment failed to specially statn'that the defendants had no ' 'color or shadow of title" to the land at the line they had fenced , as the law requires. As to the claim made by the defendants that fencing the public lands was no crime , the court decided that It was. The United States attorney stated that the reason that the indictment did not specifically refer to a shadow held by the defendanis In the lands enclosed by fence was because they didn't actually have a "shadow" of a title to the land in ques tion. It appears the two sections hr.d been taken up under the desert act , but part of the land lay HO high that It could not bo re claimed by ( negating ditches. The heavy land owners arc mutually pleased at the re sult , for they say that while they have no objections to civil suits , and would bo glad to see a decision of the question readied In the courts , they have-decided objections to being criminally Indicted. What the colored cavalry may now be ordered to do is re garded as a mooted question. A Costly Drop. DES MOINKS , la. , Juno 10. ( Special role- gram to the BEI : . J T. N.

At 0 o'clock he had occasion to use some change and louud to his surprise that the purse was gone. A close search failed to reveal It and a walk over the route taken did not discover it.

[ Special Telegram to the UKK.I Henry George's paper , the Standard , says of the Union Square "inci dent" of Saturday night last : No trap whatever was set for Mr. O'Urlcn and no at tempt whatever was made to get him to take sides In American politics. He came to America to denounce an Irish landlord for his conduct as a landlord. Ho was received with open arms by the American landlords and defenders of American landlords who dined him and wined htm and gave htm public ovations with the transparent pur pose of making themselves solid with "the rlsli vote. " Ho has been ilattcicd and lonl/cd by the press , which has nothing but misrepresentation and abn o for 'uoso who Imtieach In America tlio rery same system which these papers > o glibly condemn In Ireland , and lias received the public approval of the aich nlshop , who is exerting all his power to per- lecttlo unto ecclesiastical death an American jirlest who Incurred the unrelenting enmity of the Italian propoganda by the bravo words lie said In favor of "Irish revolution" in Ire land's darkest hour. The real truth of the matter Is evidently that O'lJrlen did not want to identify himself or the parliamentary party with the principle of the land for the people. He was willing to accent an ovation from the worklngmen of New lork provided It would appear to be merely a tribute to himself , to what ho calls his "mission , " and the picayune land policy of the parliamentary party. But ho was not willing tn accept any demonstration that would displease the saviors of socletv who have clustered around him in the United States , or A-onlcl give any color to the assumption that the Irish cause does In volve a universal principle.

Ho Makes a Second Invasion Against Sheridan With His M outh , GIFTED WITH PLENTY OF GAB. A Induction of Two Per Cent Shown By the Juno Report of tlio De partment of Agriculture National News. A Warfare of Wind. AVAsitiNciTON.Junolo. I Special Telegram to the IKK. ! | General Itosser has broken loose again. Not sntisllcil with tlio drubbing received from all quarters on account of his Indiscreet and dlslojal letter about Sheridan , he Is still of the same opinion. In an Inter view In Now York last night ho said : "I have had to take It pretty heavy from many sources , and yet 1 do not regret tbat letter which was written from a sense of duty , not to reopen war Issues , which 1 am the last man to desire reopened , but to prevent what 1 and hundreds of others believe would bo Indecency. The origin of tlio letter Is tills : I was very busy with mv own affairs , when 1 reccl\ed a letter from a lady living In the valley notifying mo that Sheridan was coming down thcro to camp out , parade himself , and survey his old battle ground. She was very Indignant at the Idea of a second invasion bv a man who had desolated the valley. Sim declared It was an Insult to the women of the valley when this most brutal general of the war came thereto renew his triumphs , and she asked : 'Is there not man hood enough loft In the valley for a single protest tobe raised against It ? ' Agreeing with the lady 1 wrote the letter , not against u union soldier , but against the man wno pil laged and destroyed the homes of defense less women and children. Why , suppose Jubal Early , who tired Chamhersbunr , were to visit that city to-day , do you think ho would be welcome ? No. The citizens would rise up en masse against him and } ou and 1 would .say It was Indecent of him. Still more so Is It for Sheridan to visit the Shenandoah. I toll you , sir , that this Is not a question of old issues. The war Is over , and 1 am glad to-day it ended as It did. Thu south is richer to-day than It was before the war. 1 believe In union. 1 would not put the niggers back Into slavery If 1 could. I am thoroughly reconstructed. 1 ha\e many dear friends among union sol diers. Hut Shcrld-an waged a barbarous warfare - faro In the valley ol the Shenandoah , and I object , as do hundiedb of others , to his coinIng - Ing among us. Sheridan has tried to place the responsibility of his deeds on General Grant. It can't br done. General Grant simply or dered him to destroy crops in the valley. Ho did not tell him to burn barns and houses. Why , often when a barn did not contain a dozen bushels of grain , and when it was so close to the house that Its de struction meant that of the house , too , Sher idan ordered It iircct , and the helpless in mates , whose husbands and sons wcro at tlio front lighting , were rendered homeless. This was not Honorable warfare. It was the war fare of the ancient Spaniards , ot savage In dians. " _ A Crooked Telephone Concern. WASHINGTON , Juno 10. [ Special Tele gram to the BEE. ] For some days past the executive departments have been Hooded with circulars setting forth a chance to make money afforded by the stock of the , American Telephone company , a newly , organized corporation under the Jaws of Virginia. The company claimed that It had secured a grant from the republic of Venezuela by which the exclusive right to operate telephones In that country was conceded to It. In glowing terms the possibilities of a telephone In South Amer ica wcro set forth and promises of fortunes to those who bought the stock were assured. Department clerks , who usually have all they can do to live within their Incomes without squandering any portion of their earnings In wildcat stock speculations , Invested In it. The stock Is ottered at the low rate of 10 cents on the dollar , and it Is said that sales amount- Inc to 91,000,000 have been made. Tlio con cern Is capltali/ed at a\000,000 and shares are sold o\er the counter at the price adver tised In the circulars. It all of the concern was sound there would bo nothing wrong In all this , but unfortunately It turns out tli.it the concussion fiom the republic of Vene/uela , from vvhlchtso much Is expected , has not jet been fully secured. The papers are promised on the next steamer and the formal content of the authorities will probably be published In the next odiclal Gazette , Uut the worst feature ot the concern , and the one which has brought It Into dlsciedlt , Is the tact that among the names of the incorporators Is one that Is familiar to the olllcors of more than one penitentiary. This is the name of Theo dore \V. Trer. . Tnls man Is the head and front of tlio whole concern , and although Congressman Uutterworth , of Ohio , Is down as president , Tyrcr is the oruanizer , vice president and the man above others to whom is due the measure of success In floating the stock which has thus far been secured. Somehow or other suspicion was aroused yestciday that there was something not altogether right about Tyrer and an investi gation into his reputation and antecedents was undertaken. A rumor was started that ho had been convicted ot forgery In two different states and telegrams were sent to the warden ot Um penitentiary at Stlllwatcr , Minn. , and to tlio county clerk of Erie county , New York. The former replied as follows : SsTiLi.vvATr.H , Minn. Theodore Tyrer was sent hero for four j ears for forgery and was discharged May 1S. ! IbW. ( Signed ) 11. J. Stordock , warden penitentiary. " The county olorkot Erie county , New 1'ork , tele graphed : "Colonel Theodore Tyrer pleaded guilty to forgciy April 10 , 1S > 73 , andApiill'J was sentenced to Auburn for live years. Five other indictments were nollo pressed the same day. ( Signed ) U , A. Orr , county clerk. " A further investigation led to the complete Identification of the Theodore W. Tjrur , of the American Telephone company , as the Theodore without tho-W. Tjrer of Auburn and Btllluatcr. It was learned further that he was one ot the organl/.ers of scveial other telephone companies which have had an existence on papei during the past two j ears. Ha was connected with one of these companies some time ago as plain Theodore Tj rer , when an Item appeared in the dally papers here to the ctlect ' 'That a great deal of excitement had been created In Minnesota by the publication of a story to the effect tnat the president Is said to have ap pointed one Theodore Tyrer to an Important place under the government. Tyrcr served a term In the Stlllwatcr penitentiary tor for gery. " Immediately after ttie publication of this Item the Initial " \V. " appeared in the name of the Tyrer doing business hero , and soon after his associates , becoming convinced that all was not right , froze him out of the presidency of the company. Next he turned up as president of the North Washington real estate company. Again his associates learned of his prison record and he was once more deserted. The fact that the name of Congressman Uutterworth appears in con nection with this now venture of the en terprising cx-liullalonlan has been suin dent to elve it great weight In Washington , as well as In Ohio , and It Is said that the stock has found many buyers where the name of Major liutter- wortli Is best knowii. That gentleman is absent from the city at present , but no one believes ho Is aware of the character of the man with whom ho has allowed his name to be associated. It Is certain , however , that thcro U something very queer In the com pany , as one ot the largest stockholders said to-day that a dividend would be declared within the next eight mouths , when 4 per cent w mild bo paid to those holding certifi cates of stock. Ho was asked how It would be possible to do this , w hen he coolly re plied that it was the Intention of tlio In corporators to sell ยง 1.000,000 worth of the stock. This would realize S 100,000 and out of this 810,000 would be used In the payment of the lirst dividend. This , ho thought , would send the slock to 850 or SCO , at which tlgure those who entered the ground floor would piobably unload and the lambs would have to sulfur the consequences. This stater ment was made by the stockholder as though hothoucht It was perfectly legitimate , but his frankness will probably have the effect of opening the eji""f the clerks In the de partments and It will doubtless serve to re strain many ot them from throwing tnolr money Into the hole dug by Theodore Tyrar , formerly of Buffalo.

A Mistaken Estimate. WASHINGTON , June 10. [ Special Telegram to the UEE. ] The officials of the Interior department are Inclined to think that the army officers have made a mistake In their estimate of the number of Indians who have cone upon the warpath in Arizona. The dispatches fioiri the seat of war state that onlyseventoou have left the reservation , but the experience oftlio past has been that when so largo a number leave a whole band I s likely to go with them and all the women and children are taken alone. The probability Is , therefore , that the fleeing hostiles - tiles number at least sixty. There Is some fear at the Interior department that the In dians will commit such depredations as will arouse against them a hue and cry for their lemoval from Ari/ona , In which event there Is always considerable trouble In making the transfer , not only from the Indians so shifted , but from their friends In other bands of the same tribe.

An Imitation of Russia Iron has been made in this country for some time , but not Impervi ous to rust. ImpervlousiiMs to lust is the test of genuine Russia Iron.

It' vas absolutely necessary tor the dignity and1 ofllclency of the house that the attempts to ircvent the vrogross of business ba defeated. .t was now the fourth month of the session , and practically nothing had been dono. The vbolo course of legislation had been stopped. The government desired due consideration. given the rights of the minority , but It was indoubUxlly the duty ot the government In he circumstances , without parallel In the ilstory of parliament , to call upon the homo .otako measures to prevent the minority rom setting at defiance the controlling power of the majority. Gladstone said longer notice nhould have > een given of this Important mqtlon. The ircsent state of affairs had been brought ibout by the government thenmelves. They tad been pursuing a false , futile policy ot coercion without the justification pleaded on 'ornicr occasions. They disregarded all the usages and traditions ot parliament in the conduct of the measure which they had , under the name of the crimes bill , Intro duced. He would suggest to the government : hat a rational mode to expedite the bill would be to make It temporary instead of permanent , and to strike out all provisions touching combinations apart from crime. It Lhe government rejected that remedy , and had no other to pi opose. the otteimho char acter of the bill would be retained In full force.

Ho concluded by moving an amend ment that the house decline to sanction the resolution limiting the freedom of debate and assailing the rights of the minority. Harcourt warned the government that thelc proposal might bo used by a future govern ment as a precedent for carrying the homo rule bill In A fortnight , and that oilier meas ures might be ioreed through In the sauio way.
