Capt. Abbey, Who SeIZed the Seal
Pirates, Passes ThrGlIg IA the City.
Capt. G. A. Abbey, commander of the
United States revenue cutter COrwin,
passed through the city yesterday on his
way from the Pacific coast to his home in
Brooklyn, n. Y, where he will enjoy thirty
days leave. Capt Abbey is the officer
who seized six pirate vessels last summer,
whose crews were unlawfully engaged in
killing seal in the Alaskan waters. He
stripped two of the vessels of their arma-
ment. and conveyed the others to harbor i'll
charge of prize crews. The pirates were
taken to Sitka, and were there sentenced to
various terms of Imprisonment by the Uni
ted States court. Captain Abbey says that
he caught the marauders killing seal in the
open sea, OF the Seal Islands,
and that consequently there could
not be the slightest doubt of
of their guilt. They were within the chain
made by the Aleutian islands, and conse-
quehtly marauding in the inland seas which
Russia ceded to this country and to which
other countries have not the shadow of q
right. Even had the seizures not thus
taken place in inland water, the captain
points out that in equity this government
would be perfectly justified in maintaining
the exclusive right to the fisheries as to
admit any one and every one to the fisheries
would soon result in their extinction. Capt
A bbey is a magnificent specimen Of man
hood, and looks as though his cruising in
the artics heartily agreed with him. He
bears an enviable record, and even
before his seizure of the seal pirates made
him famous. was known as one of the most
able officers in the service. He is of the
opinion that several additional vessels
should be stationed in Alaskan waters, as
only by means of government vessels can
anything Ike law and order be enforced.
The seal pirates, for instance, continue
their nefariOuS work from June until Sep
tember. killing three seals TO every one
they get and it is impossible for one vessel
to adequately protect the fisheries. The
past seasons record, however. shows that
the COrwin has been very much on the
alert Capt. Abbey brought down the
Schwatka New York Times exploring
party. He left last night on the limited for
Chicago.

SALE OF srUmpAGE.

A Large Amount of Timber on
school LEads Disposed Gf at Auc-
IiOn.
The annual sale of stumpage on the
school lands of the state was concluded
yesterday by State Auditor Braden, and
was an unusually successful one. About
one hundred and fifty lumbermen from all
parts Of the state were present, and the
bidding on some Of the lots was exceed
ingly spirited. The sale was conducted in
the senate chamber of the capitol, the tim
Der being put up at auction. The receipts
will all go to the fund of the state. AS
Auditor Braden explained yesterday, all
lands are visited by appraisers and their
condition and value of the timber reported
to the state auditor. The governor state
treasurer and state auditor are appointed a
commission to decide on the ACCESSIBILITY of
selling the timber, and it is only sold when
in their judgment it is liable to be burned
or damaged, the states policy be-
ing that it is better to keep it for
appreciation in value unless there is some
good reason for disposing of it. 1t cannot
be sold for less than the appraised value
per 1000 feet, and all purchasers must enter
into satisfactory bond not only to pay for
Tue llInOSF, Out 10 CUT IL WltDll year, or
it will be again sold. They pay only for
what is obtained. the timber being meas
ured by the surveyors general of logs and
lumber. All bidding is done by the 1, 900
feet and the stumpage in some lands is
sold over and over again. the first growth
being, of course. the most valuable. Where
the timber is only fit for railroad ties it is
sold for ties at so much apiece and they are
counted when cut by the surveyors general.
Capt. Braden yesterday refused to sell ties
at less than 3 cents apiece, although there
was considerable growing among the lum-
bermen. that they could not buy for or
cents. Those pieces Of timber that sold
at a low price were generally old cuttings.
The lands on which the timber was sold
are situated in the counties of st. Louis,
Pine, Lake, Kanbaec, Itasca, Aitkin, Carl
ton. Mile Laos. Morrison, Crow Wing,
Cass, Todd and Wadena, but mostly in
Pine, Cass, ltaSca and Aitkin. The timber
on about one hundred and twenty sections
of land was sold, containing all the way
from so, 900 to 1000, 900 feet each, and the
price varied from 81 On some old cuttings
to S4.95, with an average of about S2.25.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 22.-Finding that
nothing else will help them, the Republi-
can leaders are trying to brag the party
through the campaign. and Chairman Tay-
lor is making most mendacious statements
about the majority Rusk has right to ex-
pect, and the strength the Republicans will
develop in the legislature. He claims that
his party will have clear majority of
twenty on joint ballot when it is abso-
lutely certain that they will lose four MEM
bers of assembly and probably one senator
in Milwaukee county alone. It is true that
Senator Sawyer is pouring money into the
close districts. and he may carry a few of
them in the southern part of the state. but
the disaffection in the cities and up North
will more than counterbalance this, and
the prospect is at least even that neither
Republicans nor Democrats will have
majority, and that the labor legislators will
have the balance OF power If they do, it
will be goodbye Sawyer, as the old man is
very unpopular with the masses that labor
Mr.. Taylor also claims the state for Rusk
by 80, 900, when every sane man in it knows
that il the Republicans carry it at all, it will
be by the smallest majority they ever had.
Democratic prospects are Frightening every
day. and if few more Republican speak
ers can be persuaded to 60 forth and dis
gust the people with the riot issue, the
Democrats will win, so far as their state
ticket is concerned.

twenty.
The United States district court was
opened yesterday morning by Judge Shiras,
and the first case taken up was that of Ray
Early, charged with being an accessory be-
fore the act of passing counterfeit $50 bill

guilty, and jury having been called, the
trial proceeded. Briefly stated, the facts
testified to on each side are, that the de-
PENDANT keeps house of ill-repu te. and had
IN her employ a colored young man who
opened wine and beer for customers. for
which he was paid $40 per month. He
was the principal witness, and said that
the defendant paid him the $40 counter
felt bill, which he gambled away. The de-
fend2nt, Early, testified that one night this
cOlored man opened wine for gentleman
that was at the house, who gave him $40
bill; that the cclored man brought it to her
and she paid back SIS in good money in
change, and put the counterfeit i'm her
pocket, supposing it was good; that she
found out day or two afterward that the
bill was counterfeit and gave it back to the
colored man to return to the person who
gave it to him and get a good bill in return.

SwiIchmen Take Action TO That
Effect =. Acquitted of Breaking

A largely attended meeting of the Switch
mems union was held at their hall on
Robert street last evening. A delegation from
the Minneapolis strikers was present
and reported the men there as firm in the
stand taken. The men decided to stand by
each other until the railroad companies
acceded to their demands. The
men who have reported for work
in the yards, the switchmen claim,
are ''scabs," and all of them are what are
called stake men, who want to get out of
the country, and are neither competent or
responsible.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That we, the switchmen of st.
Paul, numbering $50 men, will never go back
to work at the old scale of wages.
Resolved, That we will not interfere
with the running of trains or men
who have been assigned to 90 our work.
These men who are doing the work are COM
posed of scabs, passenger conductors, super
intendents, trainmasters, freight conductors
aud policemen.
One of the striking switchmen said last
night that word had been received from
Duluth that the Switchmen at that point
had gone out" at 2 O'clock yesterday aft
ernoon.
The situation in connection with the
switchmen's strike is still unchanged. The
strikers are keeping away from the yards,
and their work is being done by yardmasters
and conductors. So far as can be learn ed
none of the strikers have gone back to work,
and all of them claim they will not until
their demands are acceded to. Trains are
still being made up and run under police
protection, but no interference is reported
in any way from the strikers. At police
headquarters reserve squad of twenty-five
men is kept on duty from a. m. to 10 p.
M, but for the past two days their services
have not been needed.
STRIKERS IN COURT.
In the police court yesterday afternoon
George Hart and Martin Scully, charged by
Train Dispatcher Smith, of the Duluth
road, with endangeling travel by breaking
a switch lock at Gladstone, had their ex-
animation. The room was crowded with
friends and companions of the two defend
ants, and much interest was manifested
during the examination. James Smith,
solicitor for the Duluth road. appeared for
the prosecution and j. II. Ives for the de-
PENDANTS. Train Dispatcher Smith testified
to finding the lock on the switch broken
and crowd of men running away when he
and a detail of officers arrived at
the switch. He was certain that
the two defendants were with the
men who broke it, but had nothing
but his opinion to prove it. The teIegra phi
operator at the station near the switch said
gang of men were about the switch pre-
viOus to the breaking Of the lock, but he
could not identify either of the defendants
or any of the others. The defendants ex-
planned their presence at the locality and
denied all knowledge of the breaking of the
lock or any interference with the switch.
The court, after hearing the evidence, dis
charged the prisoners, who were hearty
congratulated by their companions.

The accident which resulted in the death

spection of elevators in the city by the
building inspector. On Thursday Building
Inspector johnson visited Baugh's hotel, on
Wabasha street, and ordered necessary

court. The case was continued until Mon
day, in order that the necessary changes
which had been ordered could be completed.
The inspector visited the Windsor hotel,
but found the elevator closed while the re-
pairs as provided for by the law were being
made. Building Inspector johnson saws
all elevators must be protected by having
locks on the inside, which cannot be opened
from the outside, and that all persons run
ming elevators not so protected will be pros
