I of losing his hearing; and on still
nights the noise can be heard six miles
| away. Those who have heard the
sounds without knowing their origin
have been greatly frightened, on the
supposition that 1t was the roar of
tigers, instead of being nothing
but the production of harmless
monkeys. The bowling ape is sluggish
| and melancholy, and jumps only when
! it is pursued. There is peculiarly un-
pleasant Odor emitted from the bowling
ape. After critical and extended in
spection of the admirable and faithful
portrayal of the GLOBES monkey, in
its issue of Friday and Saturday, am
absolutely convinced that the bowling
ape of Dutch Guiana and the monkey
as thus portrayed are one and the same.
There are the same peculiar character
iSticS in the one as in the other: ugli
ness of appearance; loud and hideOus
unknown, but harmless when known;
and an odor that is nauseating. 1 am
also convinced that the reason the howl
ing ape-the particular one portrayed
in the GLOBE-does not take out his
naturalization papers and be registered
is the fear on his part that he will have
to disclose the source of his nativity.
How it came about that he passed from
his native surroundings in tropical
America to British soil and became a
British subject, thence to this city, is a
mystery. But whatever his changed
conditions, the nature of the animal is
still the same, and now, instead of
frightening the passing traveller in his
native wilds with his horrible below
ings, he pours out his screenings to veX
the ear of the intelligent Minnesotian.
Had he remained at the place of his
birth he might occasionally have passed
himself off as terrible tiger, but here,
where his characteristics are known, he
is but a harmless monkey, the sport of
children of a larger growth, and fit
tool for wealthy banker. NUTMEG.

STUDENTS NOT VOTERS.
Under the Law They Do Not Gain
Residence.

The question of student votes has
been raised and discussed by members
of both parties this spring. Students
from Hamline university, Manchester
college, and st. Thomas seminary have
registered in considerable numbers in
the Tenth and Eleventh wards, and
both parties since they found this out
have been wondering whether or not
they had gained residence.
City Attorney Murray said yesterday
that under the law students could not
vote unless their homes were in the
precinct where the institution was 10
Gated. This is in accordance with the
law. Here is what is said on that point
in section z, of the new election law:
A person shall not be considered to have
gained residence in any county into which
he comes for temporary purposes merely,
without the intention of making such county
his home.
In accordance with this law it will be
a serious matter if these students at
tempt to vote.
At the meeting of the city committee
yesterday it was decided to notify the
professors at these institutions that
under the law the students could not
vote, and that all students who tried to
do so would be challenged. This it was
thought would prevent any illegal vot-
ing and avoid delay and possibly dis
astrous consequences to the students.

A Scheme to Provide a Place for
Norquay. -
Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., April 2S.-Since
the reassembling of the local house the
Conservative members, with number
of prominent adherents of the party in
the city, have held two or three eau
cuses, and many of the outside men,
bers plainly expressed the opinion that
the desire in their respective sections
was that Mr.. Norquay should be pro-
vided for by the Dominion. government;
that he should be given the Indian
commissiOnerShip or called to the SEN
ate, and gentleman outside the house
selected as leader of the local
party, some of them going
as far as to say that unless this
was effected there was no prospect of
the Conservatives securing half dozen
seats in the ensuing elections. 1t is
understood the Mission of j. S. Tupper,
Sir Charles son, to Ottawa, is in this
connection, and on his return it is pro-
posed to call provincial convention
and organize for the campaign. The
names of j. A. NJ. Aikens, P. M. Howell
and j. S. Upper are mentioned in con-
nection with the leadership. The GLOBE
correspondent heard a suggestion
thrown out yesterday which, if adopted
and can be brought about, would do
more than anything else in cementing
the disorganized ranks of the Conserva-
tives. 1t was that Lieut.. Gov. Atkins
should be invited to remain in the
province and make his home here, and
to take the leadership of the party.

THREE OR ONE.
The Redwood Falls, Tracy and
WorthingtOn Land Offices.

The Redwood Falls, Tracy and
Worthington Land Offices.
Special to the Globe.
REDWOOD FALLS, April 2s.-The re-
port from Washington to the effect that
the three land Offices at Redwood Falls,
Tracy and Worthington are to be con-
solidated into one at an early date, has
createdHquite ripple of excitement
here. OF course citizens are adverse to
losing the land Office, but regard the
time, owing to the constantly decreas-
ing receipts. From interviews with
leading citizens of both political parties,
your correspondent concludes that, if
public opinion is any indication, there
is but little chance of the Office remain
ing here. The general opinion seems to
be that the three consolidated offices
will be located at Mankato. The reason
assigned for this. conclusion is that War
ner d Weiser, Of the Tracy office, are
residents of Mankato, the former being
relative of John F. Meagher. Meagher
is relative of P. II. Kelly, and the two
will make strong team in favor of
Mankato. This will result in throwing
out Gordon and Greeley, of the Red
wood Falls Office, and the incumbents at
Worthington as well. There is some
informal talk of the probability of locat-
ing the consolidated office at Marshall,
while few think twill go to Tracy.
Most of the unoccupied government
land in the three districts is west of
here. The receipts of the Redwood
Falls office are somewhat in excess of
either of the other two offices, those of
Worthington being the smallest. The
offices here and at Tracy were estab-
lished in 1874, the old Office at New Ulm
being divided to form the two.

THE HOWLING APE.
Nutmeg Thinks He Has Seen q
Picture of One in the Globe,

Picture of One in the Globe.
To the Editor of the Globe.
We are told that there are eight
species of apes in Dutch Guiana. The
most conspicuous Of them is the howl
ing ape, which is also one of the best
known and largest of the race. Its black
face. with it's strong set of teeth and its
other prominent characteristics, alto
gether make it one of the ugliest apes.
The bowling apes are broadly distin-
guished from other apes by their lugu-
briOuS concerts, in which they are led
by an old, fullgrown male, which takes
a higher place on the tree than the
other members of the troupe. The
windpipe of the male is very strong and
complicated and is connected with
vocal apparatus composed of bone sub
stance of about the size of goose egg,
which is set in the hollow of the under
jaw, and acts as sounding board to
strengthen the voice to an almost in
credible extent. While those who
have studied the animal closely are un-
able to give any reason that prompts its
unearthJy cries, am satisfied in my
own mind that it is to warn those within
the reach of it's voice to rally and regis
ter. In their concerts the old leader sets
up a horrible rattling sound, which,
after five or six repetitiOns, passes into
believing, in which all the others
join, and which is loud enough to make
one in their immediate vicinity afraid

being unpopular and of being civilian

he has divided the various shades of
the Republican party instead of uniting
them. There is little doubt that some
thing is going on unseen in the higher
ranks Of the army. 1t is nearly a year
since the statement was published that:
large number of generals had memor-.
ialiZed Gen. Boulanger, asking. him to.
assume dictatorship for certain specI-
fed purposes. The report was of course
contradicted, but it is just one of those
statements of which it is disagreeable
ton in fact. Gen. BOulaDger is at

extremely anxious. They complain bit
terly that the cabinet has revived all
the questions upon which Republicans
are divided, instead of adopting reso-
lutte policy against revival of Cesar
ism. The opportunists have fur
nished the ministries that during sew
eral years past have SucceSSively fol-
lowed one another. Ferry, Freycinet,
Goblet, Rouvier and Tirard have all in
turn had to 60, because none of them
could induce the others to join them.
There are 800 senators and 5S4 deputies,
and yet government is put in that has
not 200 supporters out of the whole SS4:
The fact is the chamber is made up OF
sections so divided that permanent
majority is impossible. A general cleo
ton at this time would merely give an
plebiscite. The Boulangerists' cries of,

feet right to choose partners for life
among German princesses, so also a
German kaiser's daughter must be free
to give her hand to a German prince;
and the cZar should have been given to
