BARTLE INTERVIEWED.
He Has Nothing Further to Say on
the Subject.


ST. LOUIS, March 27.-Capt. W. G.
Bartle has returned to this city and late
last night was seen by reporter
regarding his testimony given
before the congressional committee in
vestigating the manufacture of lard at
Washington.
Il have nothing further to say upon
this subject" quietly responded the
gentleman, land will have to refer you
to my lawyers, Messrs. Smith and Har-
rison. 1t is true that l have been mis-
represented, but the time has not ar
rived for me to set the public ght,and,
indeed, [ must decline to make any
statement at all.''
'sYou have heard of the sensation
your evidence created in this city?''
Eyes, but there is still further evil
dence forthcoming that will create more
of a sensation than what has been pub
lished as my evidence. | testified with
my own free will, knowing, as did,
that the attack upon Fairbanks & Co.
was unjust and unwarranted. But too
much has been said upon this subject
already. The gentlemen on 'change
have talked too much, and for myself
/ have decided to say nothing until am
called upon to SubStantiate what l have
said before the committee. [ am sur
prised at one thing, and that is that my
testimony should have been given out
for publication, when that of others,
equally as damaging, has never been
made public. / must refuse to say any
thing more upon the subject, and again
refer you to my attorneys. l have, how
ever, written out a statement correcting
the Misrepresentation in the tele-
graphic dispatches from Washington"

GOT BACK AT THEM.
The President Asks for Law Pro-
hibiting the Importation of Ger
man Pork

man FORK.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The presi-
dent to-day transmitted to the two
houses of congress report from Minis
ter PendletOn, at Berlin, dated Jan. 50,
1888, from which it appears that trici-
nosis prevails in certain parts of Ger
many and that number of persons
have ate and died from the effects from
eating the meat of diseased hogs grown
in that country. He also transmits
report from the consul at Marseilles,
dated Feb. 4, representing that for a
number of months highly contagious
disease has prevailed among the swine
of large section OF France, which dis
ease is thought by the commissioner of
cholera. The president says it is eX-
tremely doubtful if the law passed
April 80, 1878, entitled an act to pre-
vent the introduction of contagious
or infectious disease into the United
States meets cases of this description.
In view of the danger to the health and
lives of our people and of contagion that
may be spread to the live stock of the
country by the importation of swine OF
hog products from either of the coun-
tries named, he recommends the passage
of law prohibiting such importations,
with proper regulations as to the con-
tinuance of such prohibition, and per-
mitting such further prohibitions in
cases of like character as safety and
prudence may require. Consul Frank
II. Mason, at Marseilles, says that more
than 10000 swine died in that depart
ment during the last four months. The
entry and sale in Marseilles of hogs and
freshly killed pork from the surround
ing country was prohibited in December
by municipal decree, and until some ef-
fective remedy can be found, hog rails
ing is practically at an end in that part
of France,

one minute twenty-eight seconds, and
of the second thirty seconds. The
damage was small. Laying of rails
between Kayamo and Samo, on TIE line
of the Ryamo railroad, was completed
on the 1st inst. The construction of a
line from Sama to Ashikaga is expected
to be finished by April Is. During the
week ending Feb IL, forty-four persons
died of smallpox in Hong Kong. Rail
road construction throughout Japan is
booming. Many new lines are proposed.
and the extension of all lines is being
proceeded with in every direction. 1t

Quite a Number Of G. A. r.. Men
Assembled at Redfield.

Special to the Globe.
REDFIELD, Dak., March 27.-To-day
is the first day of the annual encamp-
ment of the Dakota G. A. r. Contrary
to expectation the weather has turned
warm and pleasant, although the severe
storm of Sunday and Monday has nee
essarily made the crowd in attendance
much smaller than it would otherwise
have been. The east and west lines
of road are pretty generally blOckaded.
The Fargo delegation got as far as Ma
pletOn when they were obliged to re-
turn home. Up to Z o'clock this even
ing $50 delegates had enrolled them
selves, and more are expected in this
evening. Among those present are sew
eral of tine most prominent men OF the
territory, including the following:
William A. Bentley, of Bis
marck; Abe Boynton, Of Len
nox; j. G. Wade, of jamestown;
Mai. Burke, of Aberdeen; W.C.BrOwn,
of Grand Forks; Col. Plummer, n. G.
Nash, of Canton; Gen. Harrison Allen,
of Fargo; E. w. Caldwell, of Sioux
Falls; Hon. t. d. KanOuse, of WOOn-
socket; Judge c. T. Palmer, of Sioux
Falls; and B. F. Campbell and Allen
Griggsley, of the same place. COnsid-
cradle quiet buttonholing is being done
for the position of post commander, the
most prominent candidates being Camp
bell, of Sioux Falls; Col. Plummer, of
Aberdeen, and T. f. Hammond, of
Ashton, this county. 1t is difficult at
present to ascertain the relative
strength of these candidates, although
Campbell is supposed to lead, with
Hammond next best. A reception was
rendered the veterans at the court house
this evening, which drew an immense
crowd. The newly reOrganized Red
field band furnishes the music, with

MUST SEEK THE MAN
Albert Scheffer Defines His
Position on the Gubepna-
torial Question.
Naturally He Would Esteem
the Honor of the Nom
ination.
Still He Would Decline to En-
gage in a Scramble for
the Position.
He FavorS the Nomination of
Judge Rea to Oppose Rep
reSentative Rice.

Several pots of delicate blOssoming
azaleas and a floral center-piece of
choice eXOtics Ornamented the desk of
Albert Schetfer in the Commercial Ma
tional bank yesterday, and when a rep
reSentative of the GLOBE called and
made inquiry as to the unusual decOra-
tlOn the popular st. Paul capitalist
smiled as he remarked: "This is my
forty-fourth birthday, and some of my
friends have chosen this happy method
OF conveying their congratulations"
The conversation soon drifted into pO-
litical channels, and, responding to an
inquiry as to his position during the
campaign just opening, Mr. Scheffer
said:
Naturally would esteem it.an honor
should the nomination for governor of
Minnesota be rendered me. although at
the outset would emphatically decline
to go around the state buttonhOling
voters and asking their suffrage. 1t
must be with me case of the Office
seeking the man, and l would
NOT ENGAGE IN ANY SCRAMBLE
whatever for the position, no matter
how ambitious 1 might be for such a
distinction at the hands of my friends.
L have heard my name mentioned in
connection with the mayoralty of st.
Paul, and l want to repeat what have
declared throughout, that under no cir
cumstances would l consent to accept
the office, even if / were nominated by
thd Republicans and indOrsed by the
Democrats, as was for the state senate.
Whoever is chosen mayor of ST. Paul
must make up his mind to give his en-
tire time and attention to the position,
and 1T is a most trying ordeal for u
business man to subject himself to, for
his private interests would necessarily
suffer and L am not prepared to make
any such sacrifice.
"lf | could have my say regarding a
candidate to oppose Representative
Rice in the Fourth district, unquestion-
ably l
SHOULD FAVOR JUDGE REA,
at present commander-in-chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, but have
no personal aspirations in that direction.
1t has been held that by virtue of his
present position Judge Rea could
not very well become cam
didate for congress, since the
cry would be raised that he was using
the Grand Army as machine to further
his political ambition. The answer to-
that argument is simply this: Six weeks
before the election for congress takes
place Judge Rea's commission, if may
so term it, as commander of the Grand
Army will expire and he can conduct
his canvass, if nominated, solely upon
his merits and without any appeal to
military or war services.
ut would be impracticable, think, to
talk about Loren Fletcher, for his action
when he proposed to remove the capitol
building to Minneapolis would be
brought up against him, and st. Paul
would give an overwhelming majority
against him, no matter how much
strength he might develop in our sisteE
city,"

tiOn of the second reading of the bill in
troduced by him some time since Ogive
preference to disabled Confederate sol
diers as between men who had been
diSloyal in appointments to civil offices.
Mr.. Edmunds opposed the second
reading of the bill. He hoped that the
senate would take no further step with
the bill. Without dispOsing of the queS-
ton the senate took up the unfinished
business of yesterday, being the cOnsid-
Grafton of the house bill to provide for
the purchase of United States bonds by
the secretary of the treasury. the pend
ing question being Oh the amendment
offered yesterday by Mr.. Stewart au
thorizing the deposit of gold or silver
bullion and the issuance of coin certifi-
Gates therefore. Mr. Palmer moved that
the bond bill be recommitted to the
committee on finance. The motion was
entered and will be pending when the
bill is taken up again next week. After

jOurned to meet at II 30 Tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The river
and harbor bill was completed by the
committee to-day. The bill makes an
aggregate of S19, ,432, ,7S3, and is the larg-
est bill of the kind ever brought in.
Chairman Blanchard says the bill of
1882 was the largest up to that time. and
aggregated SlS,123,000. The total
amount for Michigan rivers and
harbors is S2,255,OOO, of which
the Sault canal gets $1,O0O,0O0.
Although the Minnesota congressman
could not get a specific appropriation
for the improvement of the river be-
tween st. Paul and the Falls of st. An
thony, the committee extended limit
of improvements of the Mississippi, and
instead of appropriating for improve
mentS between Keokuk and st. Paul,
S750,0O0 is given for the work between
st. Paul and Des Moines rapids. Sen
ators Sabin and Davis will undertake
amendments, carrying the work clear
up to the Falls. Other items of interest
are: Grand Marais, $4,000; Agate
Bay, $4,000; Red River of the North,
$4,000; reservoirs, ,S12, 900; snag-boat up
per Mississippi, $4,000; above the falls,
$4,000; Green Bay, 10000; Ahnapee,
$4,000; Kenosha, $500; Manitowoc,
$4,000; Menominee. $4,000; Port Wash
burn. $500; Ashland. 100000; Duluth,
$4,000. The Mississippi river, from the
mouth of the Minnesota to the gulf,gets
$685. 900. The Missouri river gets
$625, 900. 1t is understood that the esti-
mate for locks and dams frightened the
committee so that they would not rec
ommend the improvement of the river
to Minneapolis. Mr.. Rice will try to
get the amount asked for dredging in
serted by the house, and failing in that,
will try the senate. The amount pro-
vided for the head waters can not be
learned at this time.

CHILDREN POISONED.
A Dastardly Attempt to Murder
Five Children.

Houston, Tex, March 27.-Sheriff
Ellis was notified yesterday that five
children had been poisoned at the home
of Mrs. John Sessums, wife of a drum
mer. The sheriff found the children,
the oldest aged about twelve years,
lying upon a bed suffering from the
effects of poison administered few
minutes before. Doctors were sum-
moned and soon had four of them out
of danger. Mrs. SesSums said that she
and her husband had not been living
together for over year. Yesterday
morning, before breakfast, he came to
the house and accused her of having a
man concealed in her room, and started
to 90 in there. Before entering the
room Sessums. it is said, passed through
the kitchen and dropped something into
the coffeepot. AS soon as the children
drank their coffee they showed symp-
toms of having been poisoned. One OF
the children is dying. Sessums and his
wife were both arrested and placed in
iail,
