WHAT THE BANKS SAY.
1t being 50 positively asserted that Harris
had succeeded in negotiating some of his pa
per here Last Saturday, say $4,000 or 40. the
banks were visited to learn.if they had been
victimized.
The First National bank had heard of the
affair, but they had none of Harris paper. In
fact, it ives positively asserted they had never
had any negotiations with him.
The Merchants National is known to have a
branch in Litchfeld. The likelihood of their
acquaintance with the affair was presumed to
be possible. s.
Mr.. W. r. Merriam, cashier, was Intercepted
accordingly.
Tho Merchants was declared safe.
I'VE learned of it from tho Meeker County
bank, to be sure" said Mr.. Merriam, but we
have had no transactions with him, neither in
st. Paul nor in Lttchfeld."
Then Mr.. Merriam exposed letter from
Cashier Gates, of the Meeker County bank. in
which he said: "Harris has skipped out; we
are not Interested
"All the good doesn't fall to U.S." laughingly
remarked Mr.. Merriam, and the interview
terminated.
But the fact remains that Harris ia gone, and
with him $4,000, or 10000, or $685. 900.
Beyond this last figure no one presumes to
calculate Harris profits as an elevator man for
one month. r..

ably the Litcbfeld people are out considerable.

road companies for the possession of some
10000 acres of land included in the Congress
sional land grant of March 3, 1857. The
lands lie between the two lines of road, most
of them within the fifteen mile
limit of the hrst-named COM
pany, though some are within the
six mile limit of the latter company, and all
are outside the six mile limit of the St. Paul
company. The secretary of the interior in
due course certified the lands to the st. Paul
company, and the governor was about to
complete the tranfer of the lands to that
company by deed, when the Winona & St.
Peter company brought suit contesting the
title, finally resulting in verdict in favor of
the st. Paul company in the
sixth judicial district. From this
finding the Winona Il st. Peter company
appealed to the supreme court, where it came
up for hearing in April last, when the court.
deemtng it necessary to proper decision of
the questions involved that there should be
more definite statement as to certain facts
therein, ordered q further hearing. This was
had Thursday, as stated in the GLOBE, and
yesterday the court issued an order remand
ing the cause to the court below to find and
report, as follows:
| How far the deficiency in the grant for the
lien of the defendant corporation under the
act of Congress of March 8, 1857, of six
sections per mile, would require appropria-
ton Of the lands in controversy, lying be-
tween the six miles and the fifteen miles
limits, from that line to make it good.
Also. to specify the subdivisions from east
to west requisite to make up the deficiency
as to said line, il less than the whole of such
lands be required for that purpose.
The court also orders that the court be low
shall try and determine the matter as in the
case of q OWL action, either party being.
authorized to bring the same trial, and that
when go tried the court below shall trans-
nit the facts found to the clerk of this court,
which facts shall be attached to and consid-
cred part of the return to the appeal in the
cause. But it the parties in the action shall
within twenty days file stipulation stating
the facts described by the court, then the
case need not be remanded to the court be-
low, but such stipulation shall be attached
to and be taken to be part of said return.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-At the cabinet SEES
sion, to-day, Secretary Thompson submitted
some dispatches received at his department
from naval officers, at Sitka and the Samoan
islands. Their tenor indicated the ACCESSIBILITY
of establishing civil government for Alaska,
and that measures should be taken to secure
the rights obtained by our treaty with Samoa
for the possession Of the harbor of Pago Payo
as mid-Paciic naval station. 1t was agreed
that the navy department should, at an early
day, send supplies of coal to Pago Pago, to be
stored there for the use of United States cruis-
ers. and the President will probably, in his
next message, recommend to Congress the pro-
posed establishment of a civil government for
Alaska.
The only vacancy mentioned at to-day's
meeting was that of the Columbia, Tenn, post
mastership. Judge Key presented the name
of ex-Congressman Arnell, and his appoint
ment was agreed upon. No appointments to
fill the vacant English and Russian missions
will be made at present. A number of names
are under consideration for both places, but it
may be authoratively stated that no selection
has yet been made for either.

Prospective Failure of the Wine Crop in
France. =


WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The United States
consul at Rochelle, France, says in few years
the vines in that district must be completely
destroyed. All devices for arresting the pro-
gress of the phylloxera pest having failed, the
only remedy left is to import vines from
America, which are proof against phylloxera
There must, however, be great falling off in
wine production during few years to come.
Exports of brandy from La Rochelle last year
to the United States were valued at nearly one
million dollars. Arrangements are making for
large importation of grain from the United
States. The planting of wheat in the ravaged
vineyards has not been found profitable.
