GURERNA7ORIAL.

The Minneapolis Tribune, in an arti-
Gle upon Hon. ". r. Merriam, the St..
Paul candidate fer Governor, says:
lie is president of one of the largest
and strongest banking institutions
west Ot Chicago. has amasSed i hand
some fortune. and is looked upon rs Il
business man of commanding ability in
Il community disting uishtd for its able
and enterprising business men. His
name is identified with many of the
most successful manufacturing and
business enterprises in this state, par
ticularly in st. Paul; in fact, few men
of his age have done more than W. Il.
Merriam for the promotion of the in
terests of their communities. AS presi.
dent of the State Agricultural Society
lie brought that institution up to 4
prosperous and flourishing condition,
aud demonstrated that lie possesses
executive ability of very high degree.
All this is true and we must admit
that Merriam would make an able and
vigorous Governor. But we see no
reason why he should be Governor, ex'
cept that he is a rich st. Paul banker
and contractor.
The central interest, the monied
and political interests centered in st.
Paul and Minneapolis, never fail to
claim the Governor and nearly always
secure him. The country boys are
nearly always ''left' and walk up like
sheep and vote for the central, city can
didate. Merriam is wealthy banker
and may have done a good deal to
develop st. Paul. But his candidacy
seems to US ill-timed and forced by
money. In fact, it is said at st. Paul
and reported from there over the state
that he boasted that he "wOuld be
governor if it cost him 100000 His
campaign is known rs the "bOOdle
campaign and we know that his
agents have been through here using
money to buy newspapers.
McGill has none of these money
qualifications for Office. He halls from
the Southwestern part of the State and
ought therefore to be free from the
charge Of belonging to any central ring
He is fairly entitled to a second term
since Pillsbury had three and Hub
bard two and a half.
But we are not. as we said in pre-
viOus issues, championing any ones
cause. We wish only to see fair play
to let the people know who are up and
what their claims are, and to show VI
how they are conducting their cam
palgnS.

THE SACKvILLE INCIDENT.
Lord Salisbury Proposes to Take the
Matter Up.

Lord Salisbury Proposes to Take the
Matter Up.
LONDON, Nov. 5.-Lord Salisbury will
begin to take positive action on the Sack
vile incident at the very moment when the
affair ceases to be able to have any infu-
ence on the American election.
Next Tuesday, Lord Salisbury, who is
Secretary Of State for Foreign Affairs as
well as Premier, will place before the cab
met note which he has prepared for
transmission to the American governmentson
the Sackville matter. He will say that the
action Of Secretary Bayard was too per-
emptory, since the effect must be to deprive
England for some time to come of full
representation at Washington
All the leading weeklies discuss the affair
pretty freely this week, some of them with
not much respect for American institutions.
The Spectator says it would be absurd to
quarrel with the Union in defense of Lord
Sackville's folly, considering how often
American legislative bodies have lnterfered
in our domestic politics by accepting mo-
tions in favor of home rule in Ireland
Lord Sackville's offense, the journal says,
was not grave one.
The Ferlin correspondent of the Times
says the general opinion of residents there,
including the American colony, is that the
United States treated Lord Sackville un-
necessarily brusque.

DIRECT NEWS FROM STANLEY.
His Rear Guard Met by Arab Traders in
November 1897


November, 1887.
ZANZIBAR, Nov. 3.-Couriers from Ia
bora bring direct news from the Stanley
expedition, a portion of which was met at
the end of November, 1887, by Arabs trad
ing between lakes Victoria Nyanza, and
Nsigne, and Tabora. These Arabs met
Stanley's rear guard of thirty men at
point west of Albert Nyanza, southeast of
lGnga. The Arabs did not see Stanley, but
were told that he was two days ahead The
expedition had suffered greatly OH the
march through thick forest, where it was
impossible to advance more than mile and
81 quarter daily. They had also suffered in
the marshes, where many had disappeared
or died. Forty were drowned in crossing
great river flowing from east to west.
One white man had died Stanley
was obliged to fight some tribes that
refused to supply him with provisions
The expedition had often halted in the
expectation of receiving reinforcements
from the Congo. The rear guard, at the
time met, had only been on the march five
days after a halt of three weeks, due to the
illness OF Stanley and great part of the
escort, who had been attacked with fever
The Arabs estimate the total strength Of
the expedition, after all losses, at $50 men.
The health of Stanley was then good. The
rear guard, which consisted Of natives of
Zanzibar, said that Stanley had decided
that he would no longer advance in
northeasterly direction, but would strike
toward the north, hoping to avoid the
swamps. After getting certain distance
north he intended to take an oblique line to
the eastward and go straight to Wadelai,
whore it is thought he would arrive fifty
days later-about the middle of January,
1883. The Arabs were of the opinion that
the expedition was still strong enough to
reach Wadelai.

IN A SEMINARY
NARROW ESCAPE OF 1875 GIRLS
FROM A MIDNIGHT BLAZE.
The Monticello Seminary Burned with a
Loss of $3.50, 900 Seventeen Miners
Perish Casualties.

GODFREY, ILL.,, Nov. 5.-The famous
Monticello Seminary at Godfrey was burned
at l O'Clock Sunday morning and 125 young
women had q narrow escape from fright
full death The night was clear and
cold, and at 10 O'Clock every inmate of the
college was in led or preparing to retire.
At midnight the fire broke out in the base
ment, directly beneath the kitchen, and
burned for considerable time before the
danger became known. The smoke as
cended through the halls Of the main build
ing, and, pouring through connecting doors
into the halls of the dormorities to both
wings, aroused the girls and teachers.
By this time the fire had taken possession
of the first and second floors of the main
building and was reaching out to the
wings. The teachers showed rare presence
of mind at this crisis. Many Of the girls
were yet sleeping soundly, unconscious Of
danger, though the smoke was suffocating
and the panic widespread. The women and
older girls struggled bravely through the
smoke, pulling the terrified girls out of bed
and instructing them to leave everything
and run for their lives
The stairways at both ends of the wings
were not yet in possession of the flames, and
the frightened girls, clad only in their
nightclothes, rushed pc i nell through the
binding smoke and made their escape down
stairs.
Before the escape of the students two
servant girls who were sleeping in the
apartment over the kitchen jumped from
the windows and are believed to have sus-
tanned fatal njuries
Mrs. Haskell the principal was almost
crazed by the casualty.
The building was Of stone five stories
high, and 40 feet front. 1t was built in
1915 by benjamin Godfrey, it's founder,
and was the Oldest seats of learning of it's
kind in the West. Before 3 o'clock in the
morn ne it was in runs. The flames swept
through the wings OF the chapel and all the
school-rooms A fine gallery of paintings
was dcstr oyed and library that was the
price of the seminary. Valuable collections
of souvenirs and gift; from the alumnae also
met the same fate.
The loss to the seminary on building and
contents is at least $780, 900, with an in
surance of $4,000. BESIDES this all the
teachers and pupils in the building lost
their private effects, clothing, jewelry, fur
niture, etc. One teacher lost $780, So
that the total loss will not fall far short Of
5000, 600 But all are SO glad and CRATE
full that no lives w ere lost that the sacrifice
of property is hardly considered.

NIH[LISTS RESPONSIBLE.
A CONSPIRACY TO ASSASSI-
NATE THE GEAR.
Direct News From Stanley-Win Summon
Gladstone and sHarcourt in the
a. Parnell Case. a. M&

VIENNA, Nov. 3.-The Russian official
accounts of the disaster to the imperial
train at Bourki have been sent to all repre-
sentatives of Russia abroad and thanksgiv-
ing for the escape of the Gear and Czarina
have been offered up in the principal CAPT
tails of Europe, but the real cause of the
disaster is studiously ignored.
Indications multiply as advices by mail
come in from the scene of disaster and from
Nihilist quarters that one of the most daring
and elaborate attempts upon the life of the
Gar was made. The Gar has been travelling
in constant atmosphere of conspiracy. The
police have been fully aware of it. For this
reason the correspondents of the London
Times and Telegraph were arrested and de-
tanned at Batoum. The authorities were
in panic and seized all strangers. Then
followed the discovery of man on the
platform of a railway station with his
pockets full of explosives This was a
symptom of what was to come. The long
distances over which the imperial train had
to pass made it impossible to guard every
mile of the road as is done in western Rus
sia The Nihilist conspirators had been
quick to seize the opportunity. Not only
at Bourki but at other points the railroad
had been undermined In the narrow
gorge of Bourki the circumstances were
propitious. A furious storm prevailed. An
attempt at an explosion was made and near
ly succeeded. A horrible disaster resulted,
but the Car and Czarina were dragged
from the ruins of their saloon unhurt, while
the members of their suites and guards in
the train were killed and injured right and
left Never has a more dangerous plot been
laid against the present Emperor. He has
escaped from the greatest peril of his life.
Nihilists declare that it only postpones his
fate.
