States increased from $428, ,39S, ,oOs dur
ing the year ended June 80, 1881, an
increase of $455, ,627 039. This increase

per cent. OF the increased exports, says
Mr.. Nimmo, were chiefly producty of
the Western and Northwestern States,
and the increase has been largely the re-
suit Of the reduction In transportation

suit OF the general extension of rail.

PRAIRIE CHICKEN SHOOTING.

The Law That Prescribes the Time When
They Can be Legally Killed.
Numerous inquiries having been made as to
the date when prairie chickens can be legally
killed, we give below the law governing the
killing of such birds and aquatic fowls:
Section 1. No person shall kill or pursue
With intent to kill, any woodcock, saving only
during the month of July, after the third day
of said month, and during the months of An-
gust, september and October; nor any prairie
hen or chicken, nor any white breasted or
sharp tailed grouse, or prairie chickens,
save only during the months ofSeptember, Oc-
tober and November; nor any quail or part
ridge, nor any ruffled grouse or pheasant, save
only during the months of September, Octo-
Der and November; nor any Aquatic fowl,
save only between the LIST day of September
and the 18th day of May succeeding in any
year. Any person or persons offending against
any provisions of this act shall be punished
by fine of not less than IS nor more than $50,
and by the forfeiture of any and all of the
above named game birds found in his or their
possession, and by the forfeiture of any gun
or guns and sporting implements, and any
dog or dogs in his or their possession, togeth-
er with the cost of prosecution, or both, il
the discretion OF the court.

Barrett in Richelie,s.

The only criticism that can be passed upO,
Barrett as Richeleu is that he makes thu
character too vigorous and youthful in the
first three acts, SO that the transition TO other
ieebleness in the last act appears somewhat
Inconsistent. The personatlOn in other re-
spects is superior, aud in every Way com
mendable, and received its full need of praise
from the large audience assemhlen last even
ing at the Opera house. Mr.. Barrett Is mas
ter of rhetoric, and makes the best possible
use of his art on every occasion, and last
evening succeeded in eltiting loud applaus
where none was called for by the text. His
presentation of the cardinal prince was not
extraordinary, nor did it conform to conven-
tional rules, but it was nevertheless
highly commepdable. His support
was. good as far as Messrs. James
and Book were concerned. Miss Wainwright
was disappointment. She did not seem to
have any conception whatever of the charac-
ter of Julie de Mortimer, and succeed in spoil
ing the effect both of the scene IN which she
avOws her love for De Mauprats and that in
which the cardinal draws the circle of the
church about her. 1t is easy to see, however,
that she possesses high order of dramatic tai
ent, a, in her subsequent performances she
will no doubt appear to better advantage, as
her roles seem more adapted to her ability.
This evening Mr.. Barrett will appear as
Cassius in "JuDus Caesar" Mr.. James will
take the role of Brutus and Mr.. Book that of
Marc Anthony. Cassius is one of Mr.. Bar
rett's greatest presentations, and should call
forth a large audience.

ment has extended to nearly six years-and

circumstances brought out on the
trial, he yesterday issued his pardon, and

The Circus.

Burr Robbins & Colvin circus has come
and gone. Without wasting words it may be
said that it gave the best street display of the
season. Under the canvass there was an ex-
cellent display of animal curiosities The
mammoth horse attracted much attention, as
did the giant hippopotamus, the largest ever
seen in st. Paul. There have been more extensive
displays of animals in this city, hui none that
gave greater satisfaction, for The animals were
I'll perfect specimens of their species. The
ring performance was exceptionally gooo. Tb
fu,nh'ers were expert, the clowns had fe'
new jokes. and the trained ponies gave an ex.
hlhiiion of great sagacity. The riding of Mr.
Fish was surprisingly dextrous, and he fairl.
earned lie appellation of the champion of tb'
world. better circus has never appeare

state that al both the afternoon and evenin,
entertainments it was well patronized.

GALL BROKE up"
Minneapolis Vie,0 of the burglary Ept-
densic In st. Paul. .lsss.. -f -

Minneapolis Vie,0 Of the burglary Ept-
densic In St. Paul. ,lsa.
! The interview OF the reporter of the Pioneer
Press with Chief Weber and Capt. Clark of
the St. Paul police force, published in the col
umns of that paper yesterday, occasiOned con-
siderable amusement at the manner in which
Chief Weber acknowledged himself "All broke
up." The attention of GLOBE reporter was
called to the article in question by several
different parties, and the scribe sailed out
with view of finding out the opinion of some
of the Minneapolis force on the situation.
The first and only man preached on the SUBJ
ject was Chief Munger himself, who, in reply
to the Interrogation of the GLoBOLIAN as
to what he thought of the condition
of the st. Paul force as compared to our own,
said, laughingly, that although he had only a
handful of men, he would not, under any cir
cumstances, acknowledge himself
ALL BR-KE UP,
and that instead of jealouses and chickering's
among the members of the force, they work
together like clock work.
In regard to the immense space of territory
covered by st. Paul, men who are acquainted
with both cities are inclined to think that st.
Paul covers NO more ground than the city OF
the falls, and their force numbers seventy-four
men, while Minneapolis numbers only
twenty-six, besides the chief captain, sergeant
and detective. All who have expressed an
opinion on the subject say that no one can
doubt the efficiency and faithfulness of Chief
| Weber aud his officers. They are inclined TO
believe that there Is something wrong in some
other direction, and think that in all probable
| ity the thieves that have been giving the city
| such a rough deal have had protection from
| outsiders, and that the St. Paul police have
| been baffled in their efforts to apprehend the
rogues by parties whose duty it is and should
be to assist the officers.
Most people here who have read the article in
question, are inclined to believe that the re-
porter who wrote it had been around with the
| boys and had mixed his drinks, and, as usual,
| had written at random, which seems to be
characteristic with some of the reporters of
that sheet. And but few, if any, of the citi-
zens of Minniapolis-the largest and best por
| tion of whom read the DAILY GLoBE-wOuld
| for one instant believe any thing that would in
any way reflect On Chief Weber in any shape,
| especially if written by reporter of the
| Pioneer Press.
