Half a Dozen Congressmen, Defeated for Re-Election, Are Raving* Maniacs. Secretary Vilas Sets Aside a Fraudulent Certification of Swamp Lands. Special Cable to the Globe. Washington, Dec. 27.— 1n an inter view to-day the Persian minister said that "the purpose of the king in sending a minister here was to make commer cial compacts to the interest of both countries. Your minister to Persia has encouraged us to take this step, and we hope to open up a mutually valuable in terchange of commerce between the two countries. We would rather American enterprise would find profit in the de velopment of our railroads and tele graphs than thai they should fail into the hands of nations at rivalry with us. You must have ear products, and yon buy them from other people at four or live prices. We want your prod nets, and have to get them in directly at greater expense. "i ou might as well buy directly from us and sell directly to us. Our merchants are ready to bring their goods and wares here. They are waiting to hear from me. And our people are ready to buy the products offered by your merchants and In ventors. "Wo make shawls, rugs, car pets, silks, velvets and woolens, such as cannot be l.ad, except from Paris. We have a large mineral wealth, gold, silver and precious stones. Our diamonds are fine, and all the turquoise used in the world comes from Persia. Sour people offer tilings we do not make.

Was!hn<:ton, Dec. 27.— The secre tar] of the interior to-day rendered a decision in the ease of the Slate of Ore gon vs. United Stales, in which is in volved about 90,800 acres of land in the Lake View land district, comprising what is known as Swamp Land List No. 5. It appears from the records that these land- inured to the state as swamp lands, under the net of Sent. 28, 1850, as extended by the act of March 12, 1860. Prior to certification the greater pari of these lands were sold by the state to various parties in large bodies. ! Upon the reports of special agents of the department, certification was finally made. Subsequently it was reported to the department that the reports of Spe cial Agent Aukeny and State Agent Wliittaker were false, and fraudulent, and that a large part of the lands de scribed in these reports as swamps were really high and dry. An investigation was ordered, and Special Agent Shack elford was directed to make a personal examination. His report shows that of the 00,800 acres, comprising list No. ">, over 84,000 acres can in no wise be classed a- swamp, and that of this latter amount over 30,000 acres are situated on hills or steep mountains or sagebrush deserts. This report was duly verified, and an oral hearing ordered, in Which the state! was represented by counsel. The secretary reviews in de tail the evidence and the law applicable to the case, and finds that the certifica tion by Secretary Teller was procured by Hand and that had Teller known the facts in the case as they have since been developed, the certification would never have been made. The secretary orders the certification set aside and directs the commissioner of the general land oftice to prepare another list which shall contain only lauds known to be swamp. As to the other lands, an in vestigation is ordered and such lands in the list as are found to be not swamp are ordered to be restored to the public domain, subject to any rights which may have attached to them under the laws.
