ASHLAND, Wis, Jan. 23.-Orders
have been received by Indian Agent
Gregory from Commissioner Oberley,
and promulgated to the different farm
ers in charge of reservations, which
have put stop to the cutting and haul
ing of pine timber under contracts not
yet approved by the department. This
action on the part of the Indian commits
sioner will be serious setback to the
entire logging interests of Northern
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Hundreds
of men have been thrown out of work,
and Ashland sawmillS, which depend
upon the Indian reservations for half of
their seasons run, will be forced to lay
idle great portion of next
summer. Besides this. many small
jobbers who have all their
fall work on the skids ready for hauling
will be financially ruined, land merchants
who have given them credit on the
strength of their work will be out. The
natural result is stagnatiOn in business
circles and the damage caused by the
department order is incalculable. Log
gers on the streets yesterday wore very
long faces and received this sudden Or
der with great surprise. Lumbermen
out of work were visible everywhere.
The principal operations are carried on
on the Bad River Court OrieIleS and
Flambeau reservation in Wisconsin,
and the Fond du Lac reserve in Mime
sofa.
The general opinion here is that the
commissioners order was prompted
by the many false stories put into cir
culation by schemers who seek to reap
benefit from the ruin of lOggers now at
work ON the rese1 vation. Work was
generally suspended to-day.

The Death Rate Growing Smaller
Every Year.
Special to the Globe.
RED Wing, Jan. 23.-In the current
issue of Public Health, DR.. G.. W.
Hewitt, secretary of the state board of
health, says:
''The death rate in Minnesota has steadily
decreased during the last five years. In 1883
the death rate per 1,OdO of population was
ll.46; in 1886 the rate was / LOG, and in
1887, 80. Very few understand what so
apparently trivial a reduction as LOG in
LOO, or O.l06 per unit means here. 1t
represents the saving of human lives be-
tween 1886 and 1887, and it means that
1,438 men. women and children escaped
death who, had the mortality rate of 1886
continued in 1887, would have died." The
doctor further estimates that every death
represents ten persons constantly sick, SO
that this reduction in mortality means, fur
ther, more than IL. 900 less cases of sickness
in 1887 than in 1886. Beneficiary societies
allow fourteen days sickness to each case.
Apply that rule and there were 10000 less
days of sickness in 1887 than in 1886. If
one wished to figure the money value OF lives
saved, and assumed $1,000 as the average,
a saving of LOG deaths in 1000 living means
saving Of 81 ASS, 900 to the state.

Buckman's Glory.

Senator Buckman is the martyr-hero
of the senatorial fight. He is the man.,
in the opinion of all, who held the key
to the senatorial situation. His refusal
to bolt the caucus, because he had given
his personal word to Senator Clough
that he would not, enabled him to give
Washburn the three votes which made
the needed majority in the senate. If
the senate had not elected Washburn
Tuesday night, the house would proba-
bly, have bOlted him yesterday, and a
free fight been inaugurated. Of course
Senator Buckman was the personal
friend of Senator Sabln, but he stuck
to his word like a wart on a lumber
mans hand. At the height of his de-
votion to his pledge, he had the salts
faction of seeing Sabin defeated and
Washburn elected. His novel attitude
(novel to politicians) has made every
Washburn man call him ''Old Buck in
the most endearing tones. Had it not
been for his steadfastness, their hopes
might have been dashed.

Representative Eugene Hay placed
the Republican nominee, Hon. w. d.
WaShburn, in nomination amid ap-

With the roll call several members
rose to ''explaln" their vote.
Senator Buckman was first to rise.
He looked pale and care-worn. and his
remarks were brief. They were;
'Believing that the caucus system is
the best aud most sacred Inheritance OF
the Republican party, cast my vote for
w. D. w ashburn," loudapplause gree
ed this utterance. The voting pro-
ceeded.
Senator Chapman broke the spell.
He is the Oldest member of the legisla-
ture. and time has long since furrowed
his face. bent his back. and the aged
senator is well advanced on his journey
down the hill of life. His opening
words were very pathetic, and struck a
responsive chord among the auditors.
Il ask the unanimous consent OF
members that may say few words in
explanation of the vote which am about
to cast for United States senator. 1t
will probably be the last important vote
that shall be allowed to cast"
The "house" was hushed. and all
eyes fixed upon the veteran senator.
He continued:
"Away back, in the dim and distant
ages of the past, took my stand with
the Republican party. | cast my first
ballot when johnson and Calhoun and
all those great men who have suffered to
adorn this country were the leaders of
this party. Where are they now?''

"Destfoy yourself, brute!" roared
Persian monarch to subject.
sit is thy will,' murmured the slave,
bowling his head, and he drove the dag
ger home to his heart. So yesterday,
in the abiectness of their serfdOm to a
caucus rule which a majority of them
had denounced at some time or other,
the Republicans of the house and SEN
ate got under the foot of the Washburn
faction and surrendered. But in doing
so there were, fguratively speaking,
grOans and curses. The words of Sen-
ator Hixson, Representatives Shoe
maker, Fleming and a few brave
others were felt to be everlasting re-
proaches to that which was to be
done. And when member after
member rose and said that Gen.
Washburn was not his choice or
that of his constituents, but that In
obedience to the will of the caucus he
would vote for him, the spectacle made
the Goddess of Justice on the capitol
dome blush for the farce underneath her
sandaled feet. The house refused to
have published the testimony taken be-
1OlO az
ton which has subjected the WaShburn
faction to severe criticism. The "anti"
forces had no control of the body during
any part of the day, and quietly ac-
quiesced in the proceedings. The nomi-
nation proceedings were stupid, save
the speech of Senator Bowen and the
bitter attacks made by independent Re-
publicans upon the manner IN which the
caucus was controlled. The capsheaf
to the entire proceedings may be found
in the two following remarks - the
first by Charley Gilman:
''If the bribery charges are proven
Washburn will be nominated, and if
they are not he will be defeated"
The second made by senator in the
wine rooms of the Merchants hotel
yesterday afternoon, while addressing a
group of members OH the bribery
charges, and defending Washburn:
"I am not prepared to deny that there
was prostitution in the family, but L
am frank to say that it was not the lady
OF the house who was seduced, but the
hired girl"

WHY THIS ACTION i?
iUnfavOrable Comments on tn,
Suppression Of Bribery Testi

iUnfavorable Comments on the
Suppression Of Bribery Testi-
mony.
1.-THE bribery testimony ought to be
published" said Representative Sevat-
son yesterday afternoon to the GLOBE.
''if for no other reason than to clear the
h ouse of any suspicion of an intention
to suppress what the people ought to
know"
This is the feeling of quite number
of the house members, among whom are
a number of the friends of Gen. WASH
burn. The defeat of the motion to read
it yesterday was largely due to feel
ing among the Washburn leaders that if
it was once begun the "antlS" would
take advantage of the delay to break up
their strength. The testimony itself, ON
the statement of two members of
the committee, is largely reduplica-
ton of that given before the senate
committee. Outside of what Repre-
sentatives Estes, Low, Lightly, Hoppin,
Hanke and G. II. Davis testified to, the
testimony becomes mass OF gossip and
hearSay, some of it seriously duplicating
minor leaders of both the candidates.
One incident testified to will indicate
the character of much of it. Two
agents for certain candidate. ap-
preached a certain member of the house.
One of them had card on which was
marked S5UO at each end. He tore this
card in two, and. showing one-half to his
companion, gave the other to the mem-
Der with the remark:
"When you find the remainder OF this
card you will learn something to your
advantage"
Mr.. Sevatston thinks the testimony is
very black, and SO does MIR. Hompe. but
both eXOnerate Sabin and Washburn
from any known connection with it.
When the committee came to make Its
report. both Hompe and Sevatson in
sisted on making individual reports to
the house quite different in their nature
than the remainder of the committee,
desired to send in. The Washburn men
were alarmed at this. and Republican
Searle, of the investlg ating committee
in order to prevent divided report,
wrote a report twice before SevatSOn or
Hompe would sign it. Had two reports
come into the house, one dissenting
from the other, it is quite propable that
the senatorial fight might have gone
over another day. An attempt will be
made this morning to have the testi-
mony printed for public distribution,
and on the motion the ayes and noes
will be demanded. 1t is doubtful If it
passes, since the lobby is immensely in
terested in keeping itself out OF public
print.

reflection upon the gentleman whom we

YANKTON, Dak., Jan. 23.-The dis.
cOvery of immense bodies of coal in
Turner, Yankton and Charles Mix
counties will be a source of great wealth
to all South Dakota. Near Centerville,
in Turner county, an eight-fOot vein
has been found at depth of 155 feet,
and is being developed. In Yankton
county coal has been found in ten diff
ferent and widely separated places, but
at depth of about 275 feet. Operations
at these prospect holes show an abund-
ance of coal, but the want of capital has
thus far prevented the development OF
the mines. In Charles Mix county the
deposits of coal are found nearer the
surface, in some places the distance be-
ing less than fifteen feet. Coal beds in
this vicinity have been on fire at various
times during the past ten years. thus
demonstrating that coal exists there in
