THEY DEFY THE LAW.
Des Moines River Land Settlers
Move Back on the Lands From
Which They Were Evicted.

FT. DODGE, To-, Dec. IA. = S. b.
Grouse, river land settler, stated yes
terday that all the river land settlers,
except one named Spainhower, had
moved back on their lands; Spainhower
refusing to do so after consulting uHin-
terested parties. The settlers, he said,
went around and helped the men back
on their places and started to move
SpainheWer on last Sunday when he
stopped and refused to allow them to
proceed further. His adviser, man
named Hubbell and an old friend from
Illinois, telling him not to do 1t, as it
would only result in trouble. Mr..
Grouse made some startling revela-
tons as to the plans used
by certain river-landers who had
not been evicted to induce those who
had been to refuse to make settlements.
He said that war is being waged against
the settlers who are trying to make
terms for the purchase of their lands by
the class who had made no settlements,
and all kind of arguments arc being
used against the settlers to keep them
from settlement, and when they failed,
threats of violence are resorted to. He
says he has been warned if he pays the
title holder the money in settlement,
which the threat-makers claimed are TO
be used in fighting settlers in other
counties, he will have his improvements
burned and his crops destroyed. Mr..
Clark says that the men have got them
selves into peck of trouble. for every
day they remain on the land they are
guilty of contempt Of the federal cOnrt,
and will probably be made to answer
before that tribunal, when they will
either be given a term in Jail or be sub.
iected to q heavy fine.

CAIRO, Dec. 14.-1n the letter received
at Suakim from Osman Digna, and
which is supposed to have contained
the announcement that Emrn Pasha and
a white traveller presumably Stanley
had fallen into the hands of the mahdi,
were enclosed copies of dispatch from
a deryish leader at LadO to khalifa
Pasha. giving the date of Emin Pasha's
surrender as Oct. 10. and letter to
Emin Pasha from the khedive, which the
latter handed to Henry NJ. Stanley when
he was at Cairo. 1t is rumored that OS-
man Digna, in his letter, expressed a
Willingness to surrender Emin Pasha
and his white companion provided
Egypt would agree to abandon Suakim.
If this proposal is not accepted it is be-
lieved that both captives will be killed..
Along with his letter, Osman Digna
sent several Snider cartridges, which,
he alleged, were taken from the white
travellers. The Zanzibaris in SANKEY'S
expedition were armed with Snider
rifles, but there were none III the pos

O'BRIEN IN CONTEMPT.
The Editor of United Ireland
snaps His Fingers at the Par

nell com mission.
Special Cable TO the Globe.
LONDON. Dec. l4.-When the Parnell
commission reassembled this morning
Sir Richard Webster, of the Times
counsel, made an application to the
court to hold an extra sitting of the
commission on next Tuesday, as to-day
was the day agreed upon for adjourn
ment for the holidays. The attorney
general stated that he asked for the
extra sitting in order that he might
apply to the court to take action re-
spectlng William O'Brien, and an
article which the latter had published
in his paper, United Ireland. in which
he stated that the time had arrived for
plain speaking regarding the Times
forgeries of Mr.. Parnelfs letters and
the commission. The writer said that
he did not care two-pence for
the opinion of the judges,
who had been selected by the
forgers friends and accomplices.
Mr.. Reid, of the Parnellites' counsel,
then called the attention of the court to
some observations made by the warden
of Merton college in which he llkened
Michael Davitt and others of the Par
Dellites to the Whitechapel murderer.
a Il SDOIb JuuSCo VI
the commission decided to hold an extra
sitting tomorrow and that Mr.. O'Brien
must attend it to answer the charges
against him. They also decided that
the warden of Merton college should at
tend the first meeting of the new sit
ting of the commission in January TO
explain his language. Sir Charles Rvs
sell. of the counsel for the Parnellites,
proceeded to cross-eXamine Thomas
O'Conner, who testified Dec. 4, but
whose cross-examination was postponed.
O'Connor adhered to his previous state
ment that he had received 81 from
the league in payment for moonlighting
and declared that he gave evidence be-
fore the commission simply because he
objected to perishing in the "hell upon
earth" that ireland was at the present
time. On being pressed very hard by
Sir Charles the witness admitted that
man named Walker, in behalf of the
Times. urged him to give evidence. He
further confessed to having written his
brother that he got himself summoned
bv the Times, thinking to make few
pounds, but that he could not. unless he
swore to queer things. Later in the day
Mr.. Reid stated that Mr.. O'Brien was in
Dublin. and probably would be unable
to attend tomorrow. The court was
therefore adjourned to Jan. 10.

MILES CITY, Mont, Dec. IA shoot
ing affray occurred at Stoneville, a
town in the interior. at the crossing of
the Little Missouri river and near the
boundary line, by which cow boy
named johnson was killed by Frank
Austin, proprietor or saloon at thai
settlement. johnson had been drink
ing all day, and on Wednesday had
some kind of row with Austin.
He went away from the saloon
breathing vengeance, and in
short time returned with
gun in hand, and without any intro.
duetory remarks began blazing away at
Austin, who was behind the bar. Four
bullets having sung aroung the bar
keepers head, he thought it was about
time to take hand in the game, and
with q six-shooter dropped Johnson
with bullet through his he rt. Aus
tin jumped on horse and rode
155 miles to this city, the county seat,
and gave himself up. The coroner,
justice of the peace and sheriff, with the
prisoner, started out to Stoneville this
afternoon. 1t will not be possible to
hear from the seat of war until Monday.
Stoneville is lawless settlement with
no peace officers and has been the scene
of numerous ARRAYS. Austin, from his
statement and behavior was undOubt-
eddy justified in killing Johnson.

Special to the Globe.
ASHLAND, Wis, Dec. 14.-Eforts OF
the strongest kind will be put forth at
the coming session of the legislature,
by Hurley people, to secure the pass
age of bill to divide the county of
Ashland, and to create the new county
of Mills. Through the determined OPP
position of residents of all parts of the
county, the bill was defeated in the
house two years ago, although il passed
the senate. Its champions, however.
have shown that they are not sup
pressed yet, and will work harder than
ever to secure the legislation desired.
Ashlanders and taxpayers of the towns
of Jacobs and Butternut will fight the
bill even harder than they did twoyears
ago. Especially are the farmers of the
townships named bitterly opposed to
division for the reason that in going to
the county seat of the proposed county
of Mills, they would have to pass
through this city. The bill will be
practically the same as that introduced
two years. 1t has been suggested that
the new county embrace a portion of
Oneida. The old bill embraces Vaughn
township, and parts of Ashland, ia
cObS and Butternut.

SALISBURY AT SEA.
The British Government Has No
Accurate Information Concern
ing StanIey's Capture.

-
ing Staniey's Capture.
LONDON, Dec. lin the house of
commons this afternoon. Mr.. Smith. the
government leader, replying to Sir VIII
frid Lawson, said that so far as was
known to the government, the letter
written by Osman Digna announces the
surrender of Emin PaSha and white
traveller. The government had no
means of knowing whether these ale
cations were well founded. Mr.. Stan
hone, minister of war, replying to Mr..
Dillon. stated that the cost of the army
of occupation in Egypt during the cur
rent wear would be el10,000. This ex-
nense would be borne by Egypt. If the
operations entailed further expenditures
the government would consider how they
should be met. The Egyptian govern
ment had approved the sending OF rein
forcements to Suakim. 1t Is evident
from the non-committal reply Mr.. Smith
gave to Sir Wilfrid Lawson regarding
the capture of Emin Bey and Henry NJ.
Stanley that the government are com
pletely nonplussed, and have no accur-
rate information in the matter further
than is generally known. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that Osman Digua
HOLDS A TRUMP CARD,
against which his opponents are power
less to play, and that the government
can only yield on the formers own
terms. 1t is believed in the Hobbies of
the house tonight that England will
be forced TO treat with the
successful commander for the evac-
uation of Suakim for the government
Will not dare TO sacrifice the prisoners
whom Osman Digma threatens to kill
unless the town is abandoned. Public
opinion in England already reyohs
against the Soudan expedition, and this
latest phase of the affair intensifles the
feeling. There can be scarcely any
doubt that the white traveller men
toned as surrendering with Emin Bey
is Stanley. as everything thus far tends
to confirm this opinion. The balance
of opinion among African experts has.
for some time past, accepted the theory
that Stanley had been working towards
Emin, aud, if not with him. was near
him. Intense interest is felt here in
the fate of the intrepid explorer. and
no one for a moment believes that the
government will allow his
LIFE 70 BE SACRIFICED
i'm order to hold Suakim. Further de-
yelopments in the matter are awaited
with much anxiety. Dispatches from
Suakim state that Gen. GrenteH has
recognized the letter enclosed in Osman
Digna's as the original of the one WHICH
he drafted for the khediYe, which the
latter handed to Stanley at Cairo. Thus
SANKEY'S capture is virtually placed be
yond doubt. The authorities OF the
Congo Free State have received no in
formation regarding the capture as yet.
The Emin relief expedition committee
are doubtful of the genuineness of the
Osman Digna letter. They suggest
that the khedive's letter may be copy
stolen at Cairo. but they think it more
likely that Stanley sent on runners 70
Emin with letters, and that these rum
ners were captured. In anv case. they
are hopeful that even if Emin is cap
tive, Stanley is still free.

SUPPRESSION OF SLAVERY.
The German Reichstag Authorizes
the Government to Cooperate in
Outstanding Africa.

Outstanding Africa.
Special Cable to the Globe.
BERLIN, Dec. 14.-In the reichstag
to-day Herr Windhorst, in moving a
resolution for the suppression of the
East African slave trade, said that the
resolution was based upon the speech
from the throne. Germany should co
operate with the other powers in this
matter. The white book showed that
Prince Bismarck was following the
only correct course in regard to 1t, and
he hoped that he would continue in the
same direction. Full initiative should
be left to the government. The reichs-
tag should c0nfine itself TO formulating
general propositions. but irrespective of
religion that body should proclaim its
views on so important a subject. Sew
eral members supported the resolution.
Count Herbert Bismarck, minister of
foreign affairs. described the debate as
perfectly satisfactory and as showing a
unanimity of opinion. He said that the
situation was little changed since the
white book had been issued. Portugal
had joined the blockade at Zanzibar.
The suppression of the slave trade, said
he, devolved upon Germany as duty
to honor. 1t was the preliminary TO
opening Africa to Christianity and to
European civilization and trade.
So far England had cordially
supported Germany in this prof.
ect, and the negotiations with
France regarding 1T continued. Before
continuing operations in Africa it would
be necessary to consult persons who
were acquainted with the country and
its inhabitants, especially Lieut.. WisS-
mann. Germany would neglect nothing
that renown and honor might dictate.
The navy, however, must be relieved as
much as possible, and the formation of
colonial corps must be considered,
though the details must be reserved I'M
til later. Action in the matter would
certainly be confined to the limits which
the reichstag marked out. In conclu-
sion, he hoped that the reichstag,
upon reassembling few weeks
hence, would unanimously support
the bill, which would be useful and
which would rebound to its govern
ment's honor for many years. 1t was
estimated, continued Count Bismarck,
that 1000 colonial troops would be re-
ouired, thirty whites as leaders, and
500 reserves. Herr Bammberger spoke
to the resolution. He said that he
feared foreign countries might suspect
an interested policy was behind the
motion. Long-cultivatedc countries were
not comparable with East Africa, where
fever was rife and vegetation scarce.
He protested against supporting the
East African company out of the tax
payers pockets. After other speeches
had been made, both for and against the
motion, the resolution was adopted,
only the Socialists and. New Liberals
voting against it.
