VERY WARM POLITICS.
Fergus Falls Excited Over Her
MayOraItY Contest.
Special to the GIot

Special to the Globe.
FERGUS FALLS, March. 17.-The citv
is in ferment over municipal politics.
Last spring IL. E. Rawson was elected
mayor by a combination Of Democrats
and Republicans against a prohibition
candidate. His administration has been
a trifie more wide open'' than the more
straight-laced citizens like. He has an.
nOunced himself as candidate for re-
election, however. So has j. w. Earl,
prohibitionist, who says his candidacy
is entirely independent of any party.
The Prohibitionists held convention
Friday night and decided to make no
nominations. Most of them will prob.
ably vote for Earl. Meanwhile the Re-
publicans have called ward caucusseS
and city convention against the de.
sires of one faction Of their own party.
The convention will be held next Tues.
day. Unless some way of liarmonizing
differences can be discovered it is prob
able that there Will be boiling Repub-
lican candidate and regular Repub-
lican candidate. With four men thus in
the field the fight will be very warm,
though the Rawson men think in that
case the chances of their candidate are
very good. The recent addition of
new ward to the city, adding two alder
men to the council, makes ward politics
an uncertain factor in the mayoraltY
struggle.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-The slate
for the remaining important positions
in the postoffice department appears to
be getting into shape. The conflicting
candidates have so adjusted their ambi-
tions that it is likely that these appoint
ments will be made this week. 1t has
been stated that ex-PostmaSter General
Tyner will become the assistant attOr-
ney general, assigned to the postoffice
department.. to succeed Gen. Edward
Bryant. This, if true, leaves a place
for Col. Whitfield, of Cincinnati, as
second assistant postmaster general,
and it is asserted that Gen. A. d. HaZen
will resume his old position as third as
Sistant. 1t is understood that the lead
ing appointments in the interior depart
ment will also be made during the pres
ent week. The appointment clerk of
the Interior department was yesterday
engaged in briefng the papers on file of
the candidates for commissioner of the
land Office and commissioner of pen
slons. The two leading candidates for
the former position have been EX-Sen-
ator ChilcOt, of Colorado, and eX-Gov.
Stones of Iowa. 1t was said to-day that
a combination had been formed with the
intention OF presenting the names of
MIR. Chilcot for commissioner and ex-
Gov. Stone for assistant commissioner of
the land office.

A COMING CLASH
Between Coal Operators and Min
ers in Ohio.

COLUMBUS, O., March 17.-Trouble,
between the operators and miners seems
inevitable since the failure of the joint
convention to agree upon scale of
prices at the meeting in this city, and it
is likely to start in Ohio before the lapse
of many days. At Salineville there is
already difference as to the screens in
use, and a prominent officer of the
National Progressive union said to-
night that it was more than proba-
BILE that a double strike would be in
augurated there to maintain the pesent
scale of prices, and to force the oper-
atorS to use the regulation screen. He
was asked, If strike was to be inaugur-
ated in this state, if it would not give
the Indiana operators an immense ad-
vantage over those in Ohio in supplying
the great market of the Northwest, and
in this connection of the affair made an
important statement. This matter had
been considered, he said, by the miners,
and in order to prevent the result the
decision had been arrived at that in the
event of a strike in Ohio to withdraw
all the union men from the mines of
Indiana, and lessen the competitive
powers of the operators by curtaifhg
the output. The officers of the union
generally anticipate trouble during the
present season, but express a Wiling
ness to do all possible to avoid clash
between operators and miners.
BRAZIL, Ind, March 1.-THE Indiana
coal operators who withdrew from the
Columbus convention last Wednesday
because the demand for IL per cent
reduction in the yearly scale base was
refused, will effect state organization
at Terre Haute tomorrow. They say
they can get coal mined at 20 cents for
block and 81 cents for bituminous.
They anticipate no trouble with the
miners.
FALL RIVER, Mass, March 17.-There
is no change in the strike situation to-
day, and every mill will be shut down
tomorrow, as many operators desire to
participate in the st. Patrick's day cele-
bration. Most of the mills will resume
again Tuesday morning, although some
will not start up until the weavers are
ready to return to work. Tuesday will
probably be the most critical day in the
strike. If the weavers can hold to-
gether that day, and show no signs of
weakening, the struggle is likely to be
prolonged.

PHILADELPHIA, March 17.-Postmas-
ter General John Wanamaker, who is
perhaps the busiest man in the country
to-day, went through his routine Of
meetings at Bethany Sunday school to-
day, looking as fresh as though he had
not an official care on his mind. He
went to church in the morning and
opened the Sunday school in the after
noon. Afterward he taught his Bible
class, at which and the Sunday school
also, there was very large attendance.
The twenty minutes experience meet
ing folio we'd the postmaster generals
address to the scholars, and he went
home to dine, but reappeared for the
vesper prayer-meeting which he organ
lied last Sunday. He will return to
Washington tomorrow.

is MARY INSANE?
An Alarming Report Circulated
Regarding Miss Anderson,

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE con-
dition of Miss Mary Anderson, the
actress, is reported late tonight to be
somewhat worse. All her engagements
for the season have been Cancelled, and
her English company of fifty people
disbanded. A rumor to the effect
that Miss Anderson is insane gained
circulation to-day. DR.. Weir Mitchell
under whose care the lady has been
since her arrival here, when questioned
tonight to affirm or deny the rumor,
positively refused to say anything about
his patients condition. Joseph Ander-
son, her brother, pronounced the story
absurd, and said: 'Miss Anderson's
condition is improved. and no impair
ment to her health is feared" It's known
that DR.. Mitchell has ordered that his
patient must remain where she is for
two months. At the end of that time,
he says, unless some setback occurs,
she will be able to go to Europe, there
to recuperate. Orders have been given
by the doctors to positively exclude all
persons from Miss Anderson's room,
with the exception of her maid and the
professional nurse in attendance upon
her.

WASHINGTON. March 17.-Encourag-

pect to complete the boat by June l,
which is the date fixed in the contract.
The boat is required to make twenty
two knots an hour, and any deficiency
on this score will subject the contract.

speed above twenty-three knots they
will receive bonus. If the new craft
(the first of its kind in American ship
building) fulfills the requirements, of
which there is little doubt, it will be the

fully equal TO any possessed by Euro

BRAVE BANKERS
Helping the Compton d'Escompte
Out of q Hole.

-
PARIS, March 17.-At the financiers'
meeting this morning NJ. Rouvier ap-
pealed to the bankers to unite on both
moral and patriotic grounds. He ex-
pressed the hope that the 100000
francs of fresh capital necessary to
uphold the Compton d'Escompte
would be Immediately subscribed. The
meeting was adjourned. At a meeting
of the directors of the Bank of France
! 1t was decided to make an additional
advance of 100000 francs on condi-
ton that similar sum be subscribed
elswhere, in order to avert judicial
liquidation of the Compton d. 'Escompte's
affairs. The Rotschilds subscribed
100000 francs and the Credit
scriptions of other houses bring the ag-
gregate up to 36,0O0,00O francs. The re-
naming 100000 francs are certain to
be subscribed.
Later-In response to M. Rouvier's
appeal to the syndicate, the chamber of
stockholders has agreed to advance
5000, 900 to the Compton d'EscOmpte.
The necessary amount-40, 900, 900 francs

The Economist is-not sanguine of the
success of the scheme. 1t urges that
the immediate liquidation of the copper
syndicate would be disastrous at
first, but trade, stimulated by
low prices, would rapidly consume
the surplus instead of its being a con-

The taxpayers of the state, consider

beyond great mass of purely local leg

interests of the commonwealth. Of the
$50 members it would be safe to predict
that 100 are there for local interests,
and with but little time and perhaps
ability for discussing or acting upon
general measures. The remaining
fifty may be taken to represent class

How the Australians View the
Samoan Affair.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 17.-Frank
McCoppin, United States commissioner
to the Melbourne exposition, writing
from Sydney, Australia, under date of
Feb. z, says public opinion has been
aroused there by the conduct of Ger
many toward Samoa, and the fed
eral council sitting in Hobart, Tas-
mania, has adopted an address to
Queer Victoria, in which it says:
I'VE view with deep anxiety the course
of events in Samoa, and favor the
maintenance of existing treaties and
the making of new ones, if necessary,
guaranteeing the Independence of Sa-
moa." They regard the dominion in
the South Pacific by foreign power as
dangerous to the safety of Australia.
The writer says if England continues
her double-dealing policy in regard to
those islands, she will soon have to face
her angry colonists, who are in full ac-
cord with the United States in desiring
to preserve their independence.
BERLIN, March 17.-It is expected
that Count Herbert Bismarck and Coun-
cillor Crauel will represent Germany in
the Samoan conference.

night William Shannon, lumber mark
