WINNIPEG, Man., Jan. 23.-It is now
improbable that there will be dissolu-
ton, as public opinion in honor of gov
ernment is growing. A report is being
prepared by the commissioners en-
ployed by Greenway, and who are now
going over the provincial books. AL
ready cash deficit of $4,000 has been
discovered, and it is hard to say what
other damaging facts will be elected.
There was whisper that things had
been discovered, on the strength of
which the government thought of hav-
ing NOrquay and Lariviere arrested.
NOrquay is eager for dissolution before
all the facts are made known. Green
way said to-day when the charges were
made, NOrquay would be buried so deep
it will be impossible to resurrect him in
the future. Great excitement prevails
in expectation of developments. The
government will not go to the country
for ind0rSation until all the affairs are
gone into. More defectiOns from the
Norquay ranks have occurred. Green

The Editor of the Dakota Settler
Badly Handled by Saloon Man.
Special to the Globe
BISMARCK, Oak, Jan. 23.-FOr some
time very bitter feeling has been
aroused over the suspension by Judge
Francis of two county commissioners.
The Dakota Settler, a weekly newspa-
per here, has taken sides in the matter,
and in its last issue. Thursday, took oc-
caSlOn to severely criticiSe Leo Griffin
and Thomas Clark, charging the former
with perjury, and drugging and rObbing
soldiers who visited his saloon. Sunday
morning Griffin and Clark went to the
office of the Settler. w. p. MOtfatt,
the proprietor. was alone. a
few minutes later they emerged from
the Office, from which shortly after
Moffatt came searching for help, while
from five or six severe wounds in his
head the blOOdtiOWed in crimson stream
over the snOw-cOvered sidewalk. He
was removed at once to his home, being
attended by Drs. Porter and Frazer,
who tonight pronounce his wounds
very serious. MOffatt claims Griffin came
into his Office, and drawing pistol
from his pocket dealt him heavy blow
on the head, knocking him to
the floor, then jumping on his
PROSTATE form, belabored him.
saying: 'Who robs and drugs
Soldiers!" Now Griffin denies any
connection whatever with the assault,
while Clark asserts that he did the
striking. To-day delegation of about
thirty citizens waited on Judge Francis
and through District Attorney Hanitch
requested that he take action in the
matter, saying that they did not believe
justice could be obtained before local
justices of the peace. The. judge ac-
cOrdingly issued a warrant tonight.
Griffin was arrested. He waived an ex-
animation and give $1,000 bond to await
the action of the grand jury at.the
March term.

The attendance was much smaller than

seems strange that the best fight Oh

qualifications are hardly such as will

near preventing the match from proceed

pounds at noon the day of the contest.
Weir was Oh hand at the time. at the
Fairbanks scales agency, and weighed
1l919 pounds. Miller had not shown up
until after the hour, and then weighed
I2215 pounds. he weighed again at 5
o'clock and hit the same notch. The
Spider then claimed the forfeit, and in
sisted that the money should be taken
out of the gate receipts and given to
him before the fight.
Ed ROthery, Miller's manager, would
not agree TO this, claiming his man had
been on the road three days because
of the storm blockade. Five hun
dred people. who had gathered at
the rink at z o'clock, were thus kept
waiting thirty minutes while the merry
wrangle went on inside. Finally it was
agreed to leave the matter to the news

been deposited, and the doors were
thrown open.

REA'S POSITION.

lief.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Jan. %. The Post of
this city, in an editorial this morning
says: ''The st. Paul GLOBE, Demo-
cratic newspaper. makes an editorial
statement of what it believes to be the
views of Col. John p Rea, of Mime
sofa, cOmmandar-in-chief of the G. A.
r.. on the subject of pensions. Accord
ing to the GLOBE Col. Rea is not at all
in sympathy with those who, for selfish
or partisan purposes, advocate the throw
ing open of the treasury doors by means
of injuiiciouS pension legislation i'm
order that every one who handled q
muSket for however short a time, Oh the
Federal side during the war, may
become beneficiary of the gov

commit Col. Rea, whose views are i'm
portant in this connection because he is

GLOBE goes to say that Col. Rea favors
form of pension legislation that ''every
fair-minded man can indOrse," that he
believes pension should be given to
every discharged soldier who was so
disabled as to be unfit to earn liveli-
hood and who can show that his disa-
bility was attributable to his service in
the Union army, whether he had ever
been in a hospital during his term of
service or not. That is precisely the
intent of the existing pension laws.
Every honorabiy discharged soldier
who is suffering from disabil-
ity of any kind and can
show that such disability is due to his
service in the army. can get a pension
as soon as he can make out his case, and
he will find that the usages of the pen
sion bureau are such as to afford him
every reasonable facility. In fact, it is
believed that fifty unjust claims have
been passed where one has been re-
jected. But we do not think our st.
Paul contemporary gives a full state
ment of COmmander-in-Chief Rea'S pO-
sition. He is understood to be an ear
nest supporter of the dependent bill,

as expressing belief that the president
has changed his mind with respect to
that measure We think this impression
is. erroneous

DULUTH, Jan. 23.-The latest reports
from the terrible tragedy at Tower on
Saturday, show total of ten bodies re-
covered from the ruins of the boarding
house, and it is believed now that fully
fourteen perished in the flames. All
who perished so far as known were
single men, and most of them not resi-
dents of Tower, although several were
supposed to live at Duluth. The bodies
were charred beyond recognition. The
body of Henry BOrdecker was known by
his trunk check found among others.
He came from st. Paul lately. Mr..
Collins, of Superior, is also known to be
among the dead. No cause can yet be
given for the fire. The boarding house
was stopping place for pre-emptors on
their way to and from their homesteads
along the Iron Range. At the time of
the fire the house had forty inmates.

pany for 81 200, as balance due him for

the company he was to receive 800 per
month direct from the company and a
personal voucher of S25 per month from
the division superintendent of the COM
pany, the contract being made in this
way that the books would show but
the 500 to his credit, and thus prevent
complaint from other train diSpatchers.
These vouchers were sent in to the COM
pany and allowed to accumulate. When
Buchecker resigned his position the
company refused to pay the vouchers,
and suit was instituted with the above
result.
