SpecialDispatch to the standard.
Washington.March 1 The news-^papera throughout tha Eaat published laat^week tbo announcement that Secretary^Hoke Smith of the Interior deportment^bad cancelled the timber culling' permit*^of the Big Black foot Milling company and^of the Bitter Root Development company,^on the ground that there vera fraudulent^transactions incident to tha securing of^the permits. The decision of tha secre^^tary in this matter was brought about vary^largely through tha testimony of Mayor^Higglns of Missoula, who was supported^in hi* testimony by W. A. (lark of tha^city of Butte.
Montanamen in this city and in New-^York have been discussing the situation^vary freely. They all recognise in the con^^duct of Messrs. Chirk and Higgins the re^^sult of petty spite work which, if it ware^ultimately sustained in the department^here, would contribute largely to the pa^^ralysis of business In at least two counties^of Montana.
Almosta* aoon aa he entered upon the^duties of his office Secretary Smith re-^reived from Mayor Higgins. the following^telegram which was dated' March *-
Twopermit* to cut Umber granted to the^Big Blackfoot Milling company and the Hitter^Root Development company of Ml*^oidacount;,.^Montana, were returned to Washington on the^seventh Instant by the local land oBlce to hate^clerical errors corrected. These penult* are^dated February IMS. snd signed by the late^Secret ary Noble and give the right to cat timber^off h.kii and 11,wo acres respectively. Till* I*^one of the greatest frauds ever |*rrpetrated la^this country. Permits were obtained by fraud.^No application was ever made at the local land^office or any publication in any newspaper In^Ihl* vicinity, line U. V. N. Ogden I* probably^at the head of division ^P.^ under w hose'tupcr-^\ Ision these permit* will come. See that the^permits are st once referred to you and not to^Ogden. because be Is in league with parties here.^Aa toon as I receive word from you I can forward^a monster protest Person* to w hom the per^^mit* are granted are mostly the aame who were^Indicted under President ('leveland's former ad^^ministration for stealing timber, sad against^w horn suit* for over fs.noo,iiuti, for timber cut,^were sr.spcnded. probably through the InOucQi-e^of Thomas II. ( alter.
isigned iFrank Hiihiiss.
Itis learned that the testimony fur^^nished by Higgins is backed by a message^sent by W. A. Clark. The (lark dispatch,^however, is not on flic. It is not the prop^^erty of the department of tlio Interior. Its^contents were made known to the depart^^ment by Mr. Clark's brothessin-law, who^holds a senate clerkship, aud he showed it^to officers of the department, but retained^possession of the dispatch, sod hat there is^no official record of Mr. Clark's relation^to the affairs which ran be quoted from^the documents of the department itself.^Secretary Smith said today that he knew^personally about t lie allegations of fraudu^^lent transactions, but that on March B ha^wired to Higgins a dispatch which sltld:
Forwardyour proof* and charges at once^^ud they will have due consideration.
Onthe same day the secretary addressed^to the commissioner of the general land^office in this city a letter which says:
Myattention has been called to two timber^permits granted to the Big Blackfoot Milling^company aud the Bluer Hoot Development^company of Montana, dated Feb. la. law. which^It Is charged ate bow In transit from Mianoula^to your office for correction. Ou account of the^grave charge* which are alleged against these^permits, upon their receipt, you w ill make no^changes or alterations therein, but detain the^same and report to me their receipt, and bold^the same until further orders.
Twodays later. Secretary Smith sent to^the land office a communication formally^lev c.king the permits. The seciotary re^^marked that the department itself makes^no charge of fraud. ^I did find, on in^^quiry, that there wcro certain irregulari^^ties in the papers and if there are any^charges of fraud which can be sustained^I suspect that they will be brought to my^attention. 1 desire to makeeomo changes!^in the matters relating to these timber^cutting contracts, but it will not be tlio^policy of the department to handicap^legitimate operations in tlio timber cut^^ting business. 1 presume that papers will^be tiled pretty soon show ing both sides of^tha case aud I shall give the subject^prompt attention. The clerical errors in^^ferred to in the Higgins dispatch are mat^^ters which shall receive full attention.^They are charges which concern the de^^partment itself and not the couipauica to^whom the permits were issued.*'

Therew ill be three species of music^explored. First, the symphonic, which^follows all cosmic, changed scenes and all^dramatic actions in story. Second, inci^^dental music, which illustrates with in^^struments uf time the music of various^agss. Third, choral music, which la an^adaptation of i h^ old idea of the Greek^choruses.
