WASHINGTON, Feb. 7-Ex-Gov. Rod
man H. Price, of New Jersey, who is
now i'll Washington, sent letter to-day
to every member of the national Demo-
cratic committee, urging San Francisco
as the place for the meeting of the na-
tlonal Democratic convention next sum-
mer. The letter was written at the sug-
gestion of number of prominent San
FranciScOanS, and it declares that the
selection of that city would be not only
a deserved compliment to a youthful
city and section, but sagacious choice
from political point of view. The
spaciousness of San FranciSco's con-
vention building and hotels is referred
to as an important consideration,
and it is stated that the price of tickets
will assuredly be reduced so low that
no objection can possibly be made to
the selection of this city on the ground
OF expense. 1t is further suggested that
by fixing July Z as the date of the con-
vention the occasion may be made a
mighty commemorative one, in cele-
bration of the first raising of the Ameri-
can flag over California on July z, 1916,
the acquisition of the territory under
the administration of President Polk,
and the wonderful development of the
territory since its acquisition.

Waseca Citizens Want the Fire
Department Reinstated.
Special to the Globe.
WAsECA, Minn., Feb. IA mass
meeting of over 800 citizens assembled
at the court house in this city this even
ing for the purpose OF taking some
action with reference to fire protection
for the city, it having been without any
organized fire company since the recent
caused by trouble with the city council.
The following request was passed by
the meeting: 'sTO the Common COun-
Gil and all who were members of the Fire
Companies of the City of Waseca: We,
the citizens of the city of WaSeca, re-
spectfnlly represent that it is for the best
interest of the city. in fact, the safety
of property and life require that the
city council reinState the members OF
the old hook and ladder company to all
their rights, duties and privileges, as
well as the other departments; and we
respectfully request the common coun-
Gil, at the earliest opportunity, to so re-
inState the fire department., and we re-
Spectfully ask every member OF the ire
department to return to the several hre
companies and assume the rights and
duties heretofore resigned by them as
soon as the city council shall reinState." :"
A committee of one from each ward was
appointed to present the petition to the
city council. The meeting adjourned
until MOneay, Feb. 13, when, should the
city council fail to grant this request
and reinstate the fire department, other
steps will be taken.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Congressman
A. P. Anderson, of Iowa, says to-day
that the Republican party is an attribute
of Blaine. Things must go as Blaine
says. Blaine is monopolist and tool
of the monOpolists. He is good enough,
and his doctrine is good enough, for the
manufacturing states of the East. We
who live on the prairies of the West
and North and Northwest, want tariff
reform. Ii wool must be protected in
Ohio, and sugar in a little section of
Louisiana. half as large as my district,
if iron must be protected in an equal
manner, farming does not pay. The
number of farms mOrtgaged shows that.
Give every farmer bounty for the losses
he sustains by high prices for commodi-
ties under the tariff which protects the
Eastern manufacturer, or else cut down
the tariff. 1t is usually safe for the
farmers to be against whatever New
England and Pennsylvania want, and
i'll favor of anything they are against.

CHICAGO, Feb. THE east-bound
Chicago railway lines are badly demor-
moralizing export rates, it costing no
more, and in some instances less, to
ship grain and provisions from this city
to Liverpool and European ports than
to New York. The presidents and gen.
eral managers are becoming seriously
alarmed for fear the trouble will grow,
and conference will be held Friday. at
New York, to reach some agreement
whereby rates may be restored. Repre-
sentatives of the Chicago east-bound
lines to-day agreed TO advance rates on
dressed beef, Chicago to Boston. from
67 to 70 cents hundred. The Chicago
& Grand Trunk is to be per-
mitted to continue to charge 20
cents to Boston, via its Montreal route.
The dressed beef shippers have COM
bined to give the Chicago & Grand
Trunk no dressed beef until it breaks
away from the association. The rail-
roads make the 10 cents difference in
its favor in order to tempt Swift & Co.
to again give its business to the Chicago
& Grand Trunk.

HELENA, Mont, Feb. IA 'Jnven-
tion of the mining men of Montana. 200
strong, met in the Helena court house
tonight, to take steps towards securing
legislation on the railroad mineral land
question. The discovery has been made
that the Northern Pacific railroad, un-
der their land grant. threaten to acquire
title to tracts of mineral land in Mon-
tana. which have been returned after
survey as nOn-mineral, through the
ignorance or carelessnesS of the survey
ors. AS their grant specially eXcepts
mineral lands, except coal and iron,
such corporations are not entitled to
anything but agricultural lands. The
convention met to take action on
this question and protest against the
acquisition by the Northern Pacific or
other corporation of mineral-bearing
lands. The convention organized with
Lee Mantle, of Butte, chairman: E. G.
Brooke, Of Whitehall, vice president,
and FL. B. Davis, of Deer Lodge, and j.
E. Kanouse, of Townsend. secretaries.
Committees were appointed to draft
resolutions and collect data bearing on
the question, and the convention ad-
jOurned until tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
1t will probably be in session for two
days. Memorials to congress and the
president will be passed, protesting
against the issuing of patents to mineral
lands to railroad cOmDanieS.

For Sergeant-at-Arms,

CHICAGO, Feb. John j. Healy,
clerk of the appellate court, 1t is stated
this evening, has been practically de-
cided on as the sergeant-at-arms for the
national Republican convention, and it
is regarded as almost a foregone conclu-
tional committee, which meets here
Thursday, will recommend his appoint
ment. The members of the subcom-
mittee, who have already engaged rooms
at the Grand Pacific, are Messrs. Clark
son, chairman: HObert, Jones. Clayton
and Fessenden. Messrs. COnger, Leland.
Howe and Quincy are also members, and
will doubtless be here, as the meeting
is very important one. The several
local subcommittee, to which will be
intrusted the details of the national
convention, are to be appointed. The
question of railroad fares and hotel ac-
cOmmodations will also be discussed
and definitely settled.

was doing its greatest work. All this
counts in his favor and adds to the sur
prise that he should possibly be guilty
OF grave Offense. The Metropolitan
bank was
GUARDED TO-DAY BY OFFICERS,
and no one except such as had imme-
dlate business with the concern was
permitted to enter. The beautiful and
costly appointments of the banking
house and the Splendor of its architec-
ture and OrnamentatiOn contrast
strongly with the sadness of the Situa-
ton OF the once promising bank. One
of the results already felt from this
fresh failure is the increase of invest
ments in building associations, which
shows strongly with all the associations
that met tonight. The feeling i'll finan-
clal matters among small depoSitorS is
quite strained, and suspicious against a
national bank could be very easily
aroused. 1t is said that quite a number
OF building associations have their de-
posts IN the Metropolitan. Examiner
Sanders was required to give aliSt Of
them to-day. They will lose nothing, and
the laying out of their money for few
weeks will be the only inconvenience
they will suffer. 1t is considered be-
yOnd doubt that every depOsitor will
be paid IN full, and it is believed the
stock will realize from 90 to so per cent
on its face. 1t is not known tonight
whether any more arrests will be made.
Yesterday it was agreed between
Miss Josie Holmes and the dis
trict attorney, all the authori-
ties concerned having consented, that
Miss Josie Holmes (who is still in
JaiD should appear i'll the United States
court, plead guilty and receive SEN
tence which the court would afterwards
suspend. She, in the meanwhile, to be
liberated from prison. When the time
came to-day for this proceeding, Miss
Holmes, through her attorney, informed
the district attorney that for the present
she had changed her mind and that she
would not enter plea of guilty. The
significant thing in the conduct of the
government to-day was the giving the
grand jury recess of one week, in Or
der to let the government prepare some
fresh cases that it had to lay before that
body. Everybody understands that these
eases are those of President Means,
Cashier Decamp, and perhaps one or
two other officers of the bank.

NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
The Famous ButtZ-Colton Case to
Come Up for Trial Again.

The Famous ButtZ.Colton Case to
Come Up for Trial Again.
Special to the Globe.
, FARGO, Dak., Feb. 7.-Telegrams
from Bismarck state that the supreme
court has ruled in favor of new trial
in favor of, the Buttz- Cotton case from
this district. This case is attracting at
tentiOn because of the points involved
eighties Cotton located on a, claim
where now stands the city of Lisbon
He sent a petition to"SGoy. Ordway for
the organization of Ransom county.
The petition was according to law and
named three good men for commission
erS. Snow drifts interfered with CON-
munication. Yankton was cut Off Tor
three weeks or more. Cotton also
wanted the Fargo Southwestern, then
being surveyed. to strike his claim.
Cotton came to Fargo and proposed to
parties in Fargo to give them portion
of the townsite if they would hurry up
the organization and get the railroad to
come to him. Parties referred him to
Mayor Buttz. The result was
the county was organized, Lisbon
was the county seat and a
Z railroad was running in there. Cotton
agreed to deed ButtZ sixty acres of the
town site when this was accomplished.
The railroad demanded sixty acres of
; land, but agreed to take fCrty of the
Cotton tract and twenty of the Harris
claim alongside. Cotton decided forty to
the railroad, and Harris decided twenty,
as agreed. Cotton refused to deed
| Buttz the other twenty, and Buttz sued.
He had almost every lawyer around
here, including Judge Mcconnell (before
he went on the bench). The case went
out of the court half dozen times.
One time ButtZ thought he had the
deadwOOd on Cotton, as he had gone
over time on some motion. Judge Hud-
son had gone off the bench and McCOn-
nell had come on. Mcconnell having
been an attorney in the case, it was
thought he would not adjudicate, but
one day he signed an order which in due
|. time appeared of record, and got Cotton
back in the traces, with the results
down to date as appears to-day. This
twenty acres of land lies almost i'll the
heart of Lisbon. Cotton has sold it off
to everybody he could, at great sacri-
fee, and his interests are now in Ward
county, where he has been for a few
wears.

ANOTHER SLASH.
Des MOines Rates Reduced by the
Rock Island Road.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE first slash was
made to-day in the Des Moines freight
rates, which were reduced early Dy the
Rock Island to fFst-class, 25 cents; sec
ond, 20 cents; third, Is cents; fourth,
1211s cents: fifth, 10 cents; and Class A
cents. This is reduction of TO per
cent from the established rates, and &
per cent below Mondays cut rates. The
drive was made against the Chicago. st.
Paul & Kansas City road. The Des
MOineS rates are too low for the Bur-
lingson, which announces that it is out
of the Des Moines business. The Rock
Island and the Milwaukee & st. Paul
made the latest cuts the basis of through
rates to all junction points on the Union
Pacific in Nebraska, much against
the will of the latter road which was
anxious to preserve its local rates, but
by virtue of the old tripartite agree
nlent, which is yet in force, it was COM
PEELED to yield and participate. This
carries the cut rates all over Nebraska.
Lumber rates were evened up to 10
cents a hundred to all Missouri river
points, and it was rumOred that some
but this was denied. The fight got too
hot for the ST. Louis & Kansas City
road, and they agreed to make no re-
ductiOnS below the rates put in effect
Monday morning. A Slight reduction
of cent hundred was made in corn
rates from COnneil Bluffs, but this was
caused by class reductions, and none of
the lines are cutting the old grain rates.
The air was full of rumOrs of other re-
ductiOnS. but the above were all that
were authOritatiVely made.

A Veritable Chestnut.

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Senator Saw
yer introduced petition from the citi-
Zens of the Seventh congressional dis
trict of Wisconsin praying for prohibit
ton in the District of Columbia. This
has become almost daily proceeding,
inasmuch as temperance organizations
have spread their printed petitions all
over the country, and the senators and
representatives are called upon to intro
duce them. Although not directly au-
thOriZed by Senator Sawyer, nor by any
particular representative, to comment
upon the matter, it is definitely ascer-
tanned that the gentlemen are not only
tired, but almost disguised with the
business. The general sentiment in
both houses Of congress is that commu-
mites far removed from Washington
might better cast the beam out of their
own eyes, that they might more clearly
see the mote in their brothers. ewes.
These petitions are rapidly handled
and consigned to pigeon holes in COM
mittee rooms, and there forever for
gotten.
