The county'jail at Sol omonville is full of prisoners awaiting the action of the grand jury, and not to give them an opportunity of speedy hearing is manitestly an injus- tice, and the expense to the county for their keeping Is an unnecessary bur den on taxpayers.

MILE Laos INDIANS.

While the government authorities
are opening up Indian territory in
the Southwest, in Dakota, Montana
and Northern Minnesota they should
not neglect to look after the interests
Of the Mile Lacs tribe and the white
people who surround them and who
are anxious to occupy and develop
much of the fertile land that is now
of no Use or benefit to any one. The
Indians could be better taken. care Of
if they were taken to White Earth Of
whatever locality is selected as Indian
headquarters in the state. For sew
eral years these Indians have been
entirely neglected by the government
and reports show that. with but few
exceptions, they have not improved
their condition. They are at the
mercy of whisky sellers, and the
slight efforts to protect them from this
class of traders have been unavailing.
It is unreasonable to propose that a
large tract Of land should be left to
the exclusive use of few hundred
Indians when it would support thou-
sands Of prosperous whites. The In
dams cultivate only q small portion
Of the land, and as the hunting is
nearly exhausted, they are in very
destitute condition. II they were
transferred to some place where they
could be placed under government
charge, given lands in severalty, and
taught to farm, to pursue industrial
pursuits, they would be greatly bene-
fitted.

SWORDFiSH: KILLING.

How It Is Carried On by the Block Isl-

Il There is both money and fun in
sword fishing. A few years ago few

who paid 81 a head to SEQ the fisher
men stand up TO swordfish and stick
q harpoon into him. Finally, since
the dietary merits of broiled swortlfish
were recognized, swordfishing became
. steady aud lucrative vocation.
New London, Stonington and espe-
cially Block island are the home of
swordfishmen. To open the sword
fishing season it is necessary only for
a smacksn,an to fix a board walk up to
the end Of his bowsprit, where little
cage is erected for the harpooner to
stand in and lash long tailed harpoon
along the side of the bowsprit; then he
is ready to cruise. He sails right out
ty or forty miles, near whose tepid
water the swordfsh loves to floet 1az-
lily near the surface, his dorsal fin just
showing above and cutting the water
like the coulter of a sod plow. The
smack swims smoothly up to the fin
and the harpooner drives his long han
died trident into the big fish. To the
end of the spar is attached by strong
cord a floating bouy, which the har-
pooner lets go overheard as soon as he
strikes the fish. No sooner does the
fish feel the cold steel in his vitals than
he is off in furious rush into the wide
ocean, dragging along the buoy,
which points out to the fisherman
the course he is taking. The s1nacks-
men sail after the fish until he tires
himself out; then they will kill him
at their leisure, lift him aboard, and

swords clean through the sides Of

barely escaped going the bottom, the
sea pouring in through the broken
planks. In another instance a big

miles, the harpoon line being fastened

WIZARDS N. T., SCHEME.

New YORK, Aug. 21.-The board
of directors of the Northern Pacific
to-day unanimously passed resolu-
ton to submit the financial plan
devised by Henry Willard, as chair
man or the finance committee, to a
vote of preferred stockholders. The
salient points of Mr.. Wizards plan
are consolidated mortgage of $780,
100000, which is to be used for the
retirement of the outstanding first,
second and third mortgage bonds
and other securities guaranteed by the
Northerx Pacific, and which is also
to be applied to the financial needs,
present and future, of the company.
1t is not intended to raise at present
more than $l5,00O,O0O of the con-
solidated mortgage bonds, which will
be used to provide for indispensable
improvement, the enlargement Of
terminal facilities, betterments and
improvement OH the main line. The
result was hardly expected by Wall
street, which has been RECALLED with
stories Of discussions in the board
over the financial policy Of the COM
pany until it was believed that they
could decide on nothing this year.
But Willard, seems to have
CARRIED ALL BEFORE HIM
with his brilliant and gigantic scheme
of consolidating the indebtedness of
the whole road and making it all Of
an equal character. Chairman
Robert Harris, of the board of
directors, say that s14,000,0O0 Of the
bonds will BE- issued to take up out
standing bonds as fast as they can be
exchanges, and $l0,OOO,OO0 or $40, O0o,-
900 will be used for needed improve
ments on the main line, terminals at
Tacoma and necessary equipments.
What sum will be required Of the
grand total for payment Of commits
sions and premiums has not yet
transpired. The mortgage provides
that the rate of interest is not to ex-
coed 5 per cent. The scheme is con
sidered as purely Villardian one,
and even a more brilliant stroke of
genius than his celebrated blind pool
for S2O,OO0,0O0, which once electrified
the street. 1t is expected that Willard
proposes to float u large proportion Of
the bonds in Europe, where a 5 per
cent interest is looked upon with
favor. The announcement Of the &C.
ceptancs Of the Willard plan sent the
market foa the stacks bounding up
from to Ii per cent at once.
No arrangements have yet been
made for the sale of the bonds. The
preferred stockholders will be called
to meet Oct. II to ratify the action Of
the directors. The date is about one
month after the annual election ofthe
company. As security against any
improvident issue of new bonds the
approval of =, nine out Of
thirteen directors will be required for
any issue. AS an induccment to the
the preferred stock holders pledge
was given that here after earnings
over expenses shall 60 out in dividends,
necessary improvements being provid-
eddy the new bonds. Eight members
Of the board were present.
