Although unexpected, the selection of W.
FL. Francis for the Bismark judicial circuit
gives very great satisfaction. The Mandan
Pioneer says of him:
''Mr. Francis is lawyer who has a fine
record in Dakota as well as in Newark, New
Jersey, whence he came two years ago. He
is known to be man of unimpeachable in
tegrity, and his whole career in the quasi ju-
dicial capacity of receiver in the Bismark
land office marks him as man of mature
judicial experience. Mr.. Francis was foI
two years city solicitor of Newark, a respon.
sible position which he filed with great sat
iafaction. He was admitted to the bar in
1862, represented his local district in the
the New Jersey state senate with distinction
and has been prominently identified with all
the important political campaigns within the
last decade
The judge will assume his new duties as
soon as his commission arrives. He has al
ready designated as court reporter, one of
the most expert stenographers in this section
and an admirable sele elton in every way

The Northern Pacific ,IJrer the ChiId Trade.
1t is very well known that from the begin
ming the Northern acifc managers, under
all the different administrations Of that road,
have been calculating upon securing the i'm
mcnse China trade. No very open demon
STATIONS in that direction have ever been
made, and in fact, the scheme was evidently
intended to be worked out secretly. That
the road is working for this business is be-
yond question. There is high author
ity for this, which is no less than
n well known official of the road. He says
that more than three months ago the North
orn Pacific road sent a trusted and conf
prudence the rad cou d rely to Hong Kong
10 see how much business could be diverted
from the Pacific Mail Steamship company,
provided an independent line should be es-
tablished to run to Portland or Puget Sound,
in connection with the Northern Pacific
road. The agent in due time returned,
and his report was laid be-
fore the directors, who
regarded II as so favorable that the necessary
capital was raised in London to establish the
line. 1t Is understood that for the present
the con paYy will hire number of ocean
vessels which Will be secured to do duty for
while till the line becomes fixture, and 1t is
asserted that the first cargo of tea will be
shipped early next month. It is claimed
that the route To New York, by the way of
Portland and st. Paul will be much the
shortest, and that all tea trade must come by
the new route.

DUCKED BUT NOT DROWNED.
A Four-Oared Shell Broken in Two by
Collision With Steamer.


About z O'Clock last evening, as the steam
er G. B. Knapp was running up the river,
aud when above Wabashaw street bridge, she
collded with one of the four-oared shells be-
longing to the Minnesota boat club. The
steamer struck the shell before the rowers
were aware of their danger, breaking it in
two amidship, and splitting the crew into the
river One of them in particular had very
narrow escape from drowning, being swept
under the barge which the Knapp was tow
ing, and for few seconds his life was not
worth copper. All were final
ly rescued BY the people on the
Knapp, however, and the watchers on the
bridge above breathed free again A repre-
sentative of the GLOBE was among the people
who saw the accident and undertook to get
to the scene by climbing down the embank-
ment above the bridge, but the crew of the
wrecked shell had been taken over to the
boat-house before he reached the river bank,
and, judging from their bearing and actions,
were none the worse for their impromptu
BATH The great wonder is that all were not
drowned, as the shell was coming along at a
lively gait, and, having their backs turned to
the Knapp, the crew were not aware of their
danger until their shell parted under them.
For some reason they did not seem to pay any
attention to the warning whistle of the
steamer, or the shouts of those who saw and
realized their danger: presumably they did
not hear the warnings, or if they did they
evidently did not think they were meant for
themselves. The members of the boat club
practice every evening for an hour or two,
but the wrecked shell was the only one on
that part of the river at the time of the acct
dent last evening; nor were those in the club
house aware of the imminent danger in
which their comrades had been until all were
safely on board the Knapp, together with one
part of their boat. The other half went down
with the current but was recovered little
later by the barge belonging to the club.
Owing to the difficulty of getting down to the
club house by others than members, the names
of the rescued scullers were not learned.
Their narrow escape, it is to be hoped, will
serve as lasting warning to scullers to be
slightly more crcumspect while rowing in
the waters usually taken by steamers plying
the river and while the GLOBE congratulates
them on being still in the land of the base
ball, it would remind them that paper
shell can't buck against lumber barge,

Nom Resident Land owners.

The Vermillion Plaip Tall is one Of large
number Of prominent papers that believe
that lands should only be given to those who
will become permanent settlers on them. It
represents growing sentiment in this. 1t
may be argued that the repeal Of the tree
culture and presumption laws will prevent
actual 5ona .tfle settlers from getting what
land they need; but there is little good sense
in such talk If It is held only for the pur-
pose OF speculation then there may be some
thing in It. But the intention of the laws
relating to the settlement Of public lands was
not to furnish trading stock for the public,
but TO give every citizen who wanted a home
chance to earn it and prove by his labor
that he was worthy a home. Past
experience has shown clearly that

Just what the outcome is to be of the Wa
able to state. There is a movement on foot,
being operated by the stockholders, to sup
plant the receivers, Messrs. Tut and Hen
derson. These men, it is stated, were ap-
pointed at the instance of Jay Gould and the
Missouri Pacific road. 1t was thought that
its separation was a wise move at the time,
but now it looks to them as if the whole al
fair was sham and fraud, that o segrega-
ton has taken place, and that the Wabash is
still run in the interest of the Missouri Pa
cifc. The receivers have made several at
tempts to get a general manager, but as yet
have failed to get railroad man of expert
ence to assume the duties of the post
under the existing state OF affairs. the
stockholders claim that they will make
q move tn oust the receivers, The
Missouri Pacific has not paid its employees for
the month of June. They usually pay the
first of each month, but in June last its
treasurer at st. Louis was ordered to send
every dollar of the earnings of the road to
New York-it is thought to pay declared
dividend and interest on bonds. They say
they will pay the 18th; at least it is rumored
that they will. A number Of the clerical force
have rendered their designations in order to
get their money. 1t is stated that unless
definite information is given them relative to
when they will be paid, general strike will
take place in the clerical force of the road.
Yesterday the Hon. Thomas G. Reynolds,
for plaintiff, filed petition befor the Master

ceiver of the Missouri Pacigc to pay certain
claims, amounting to about $4,000 The
claims are for trackage and terminal facili-
ties, the non-payment of which works great
hardship upon the road. The petition claims
that the bills are honest and should be paid,
and the payment thereof will rebound to the
benefit Of the road.
