JON OF WISCONSIN.

Reasons Why He Has Been Re
Prague.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-It is learned
at the department of state that the reap
pontment by the president yesterday of
Charles Jonas, of Wisconsin, as United
States consul at Prague, has no bearing
upon the case of Mr.. Kelley, who had been
nominated as minister to Austria, nor can
1t be said to indicate a purpose on the part
of either the United States or Austria to re-
cede from the positions assumed in the case.
Although the statement was published at
the date of Mr.. Jonas original appointment
last year that the Austrian government had
refused his exequatur on the ground that he
had been concerned in a conspiracy against
the life of the emperor, yet the charge was
effectually disproved by Mr.. Jonas. and no
objection was made TO his appointment by
the Austrian government on that score.
The real objection was one entirely prOvin-
cial in its nature. Mr.. Jonas
FORMERLY RESIDED IN PRAGUE,
and was a member of one of the two pow
erful factions into which the inhabitants
were divided. His assignment to the post
of United States consul at that city. was in
consequence received with ill favor bv the
faction to which he had been opposed. and
tn S fact was deemed of sufficient weight by
the Austrian government to justify an OBJ
lection to his appointment. Mr.. Jonas re-
turned from Europe before reaching his
post, and repaired to his home in WiscOu-
sin. Meanwhile the Austrian government
had inquired further into the matter and
after satisfying itself that there were no
substantial elections to the reception of Mr..
Jonas the protest against the appointment
was withdrawn and as Mr.. Jonas was still
urged for the place by a large number of
Germans and BOhemians in Wisconsin, his
appointment was yesterday renewed.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The lease of the

practically completed at conference be-
tween committees of the two Companies,
held in Boston Tuesday. Elijah Smith,
president of the Oregon company, who,
with Directors Hall and Mayer, went to
Boston to attend the meeting returned yes

arranged. but there was no doubt of the
final result 1t is understood the minimum
rental is six per cent. per year on the stock

rush for the woods has developed into a
vigorous stampede. and wages keep up to a
good figure. The heavy snow this week
has not been of any special benefit to the
logging interest. as the temperature has
been so mild that no bottom has been made
for roads. All the mills of this city will be
closed this week. The big sawmll of
Knapp, Stout IL Co.. at MenOmOnie. is
credited with having made the heavi-

MenOmonie of the men SteinhOf and Broka,
charged with the attempt to murder Henry
