WlSSIrEa, Man., Aug. "a govern
ment officer named Bunting has arrived
here from Esquimault, l.. c. He says
that five ships and two torpedo boats of
the British Pacific squadron have gone
north to Behring Sea with open orders.
Two more ships have been ordered to
Victoria and are now on the way. Bun
ting says the captain of the ship who
first brought the news of the seizure of
the sealer Black Diamond. by the United
States cutter Rush, made some state
ments to Admiral Heniage, after which
kilograms were sent to Ottawa andcable-
grams to London, the answers to which
We're received the same day and the next
day the squadron left for the north.
Great excitement prevails in Victoria
and the people are clamoring for the
government to take active measures to
prevent any further interference with
British ships i'll the open sea. Bunting
states that some of The sealers in the
north will fight before they will submit
to seizure, they being we'll armed for
such an emergency.

Railway T~axation.The Mileage rlan
Adopted.

ANYWAY AdAhLlOu-Ano Nklke6KC 1lAu
Adopted.
BISMARCK, N. d., Aug. Sat the ev.
ening session the convention did not con-
slider the report of the committee on
public institutions as was expected. The
question of railroad taxation was dis
cussed, the section providing that rail-
three thousand, nor more than seven
thousand dollars per mile, being the
chief point of debate. The advocates of
the gross earnings system made a heroic
effort to strike out the entire section and
substitute therefor a provision for the
continuance of the gross earnings tax,
but they were defeated in committee OF
the whole, and the plan of taxing per
mile was adopted. AT the afternoons
session the only business considered was
the report of the committee on public
institutions,
The Institutions Located.
There was an effort made BY a few in
the convention to defeat the motion to
adopt the majority report, Bartlett of
Griggs offering as an amendment that
the question be submitted to a vote of
the people as q separate proposition.
This amendment was supported in
speeches by Purcell of Richmond, Bell of
Walsh, Turner of Bottineau, johnson of
Lakota and several others, but was de-
feated and the article locating the insti-
buttons permanently was adopted by a
vote of Al to so. johnson Of Lakota.
moved rs an amendment that the capital
be located at jamestown, In the hope
that the Jamestown delegates would
have the majority, but this was no sur.
prise as it was known the motion would
be made in the hope OF breaking the ma
iority and thus defeat the plan with the
hope of ultimately giving the capital to
the Red River valley. The Jamestown
delegates could not be caught and ex
posing the insecurity of the motion they
stood by the report of the committee. II
is predicted that the convention will ad.
iourn within a week. Co%ngratulatory
kilograms over the success of the plan
for the permanent location of the insti
tutions are pouring in from all sections

and struck her to the ground. He went
into his house for a few minutes and on
returning found the old woman lying
dead where he had felled her. He

THOSE MINNEAPOLIS FORGERIEs.

Attorney, Is tho Man Who Committed
Them.
MlNSEAPoLls, Aug. S.-The all-absorb-
ing topic of conversation in Minneapolis
during the day has been the stupendous
forgery, mention of which has been
made in these dispatches. 1t was already
known to quite a number that the
young man against whom this charge
was made was j. Frank COLON,
& lawyer and real estate man
of high standing in the community.
Astonishment following the publicity of
the remarkable case was very pro-
nounced in business circles, where Mr..
Colon vas very well known and highly
respected. The forgeries extend over
quite a long period, and the sums range
from 81 900 to $4,000, aggregating SO far
as known 1927 600. Collom has con
fessed and has turned over his property
to make good the amount.

The Question OF County Court.

ucsttoH ouAi NouIlSs
BISMARCK, n. d., Aug. 2.-The county
court question is still before the conven-
ton. A compromise on the question has
led the opposition to the establishment
of tho county courts, offered a substitute
providing that whenever the voters of a
county having a population of 1000 or
over shall decide by a Hla Iority vote that
they desire the jurisdiction OF a county
cour increased above that limited by the
constitution, then such courts shall have
concurrent jurisdiction with the district
court; in all civil actions where the
amount in controversy does not exceed
$1,000. and in all criminal actions below
the grade of felony. In case of such de-
cision by the county justices of the peace
shall have no exclusive jurisdiction.
County Representation.
The principal fight of the day was
over the proposition to give every or
ganiZed county a representative in the
legislature. This was opposed by the
Red River valley counties. and all of the
eastern portion of the territory as giving
the sparsely settled western portion of
the territory more power in the legisla-
ture than it is entitled to. In reply to
this argument the members from the
West claimed that, inasmuch as the Red
river valley will have absolute controlof
the senate, the western counties should
be given representation. The western
men were defeated, and the convention
decided upon having the members of
the house of representatives elected at
large from the senatorial districts.
Williams, of Burleigh, introduced a res
olution that the
Homestead and Presumption Laws
Of the territory shall ley be repealed
by the state, but it was jumped on by
nearly every delegate, and was defeated
by an almost unanimous vote. Allin, Of
Walsh, moved that the salary of the gov
ernor be $4,000 instead OF $4,000, as pro-
viled in the report of the committee,
and that the lieutenant governors be re-
duccd from 81, 600 to 5000. This amend
ment was also defeated. The commit
tee on public institutes is still struggling
to reach a report, but there is little pros.
pect of success for several days.
The convention has declined to accept
the invitation of West Superior to attend
the waterways convention at that place
owing to the fact that the convention is
Behind With It's Work,
and it will be at least ten days before
final adjournment will be reached. The
senate committee on irrigation and re.
clamation of arid lands is expected te
arrive here Monday, when the conven
ton will confer with the senator's on the
question of artesian wells and irrigation
in North Dakota.

Better Rate. for the G. A. II.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 9.-The Minneapolis,
St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie railroad
has discovered a way to carry G. A. r.
men from the Northwest to the national
encampment in Milwaukee at che rate
of 50. 20 cents for the round trip from st.
laul or Minneapolis. The 500 does not
run into Milwaukee, but will transfer
the veterans to the Milwaukee and Lake
Shore at tiagen.
The Chicago, Burlington and North
ern road also has a way provided for
taking q. a. r. men to Milwaukee from
the Northwest. This road will carry
veterans to Galena, His, and transfer
tEcm TO the Chicago and Northwestern.

quently involved in the admission of
novices TO the trade by using the liv-
ing animal as q block on which to
practice. The amount of torture
caused in this way by unskilled hands
battles description. Young men come
forward each in turn to strike a blow
at the same OK. The ak may some
times fall ten times upon the same I'M
fortunate animal, whose eyes are often
put out and his whole skull battered
in a pitiable way before the practiced
blow of the master butcher puts an
end TO his sufferings and lays him low.
In order to end these cruelties the
directors Of the Berlin slaughter house
have provided a practicing apparatus,
upon which apprentices are bound to
learn their trade. They are obliged
to practice upon it till they have ac-
quired sufficient strength and dexter
ity to hit a button in the machine
with the same force as is required to
make q strong OK insensible; and they
are only permitted to touch the liv-
ing animal when they have proved
their competence with the machine.
The apparatus consists of two cast
iron cylinders fitting into one another
and pressed by means of two power
full springs. When the button upon
the apparatus is struck the springs are
pressed, and the cylinders slip to-
gether, while the exact strength of
the blow given is indicated upon the
dial. The apparatus hangs in a strong
wooden frame and is movable, SO that
the button car be raised or lowered

for large or small cattle. A mallet of
forged iron about z inches long is used
with this apparatus. 1t has on both
sides a rounded surface of about 2
inches in diameter. The handle,
which measures 27d inches long, must
not be used too short, to avoid risk of

Does your experience suggest TO you
that the race of Englishmen is degene-
rating physically3 2. Do you think
that the great advance in the healing
art is responsible for keeping alive
much weak life that will in time affect
the whole ace injuriously2 8. Do you
think that the increased indulgence in
physical sports has, on the whole, q
good influence on health7 A. Has it
ever struck you that probably the great
attention paid to health in these days
may be producing an anxiety about
BODILY ailments which IS a disease in
itselfl" Answers have been received
from a long array of practitioners,
among whom are the names of emf
nent London physicians. The general
view taken, according to The Medical
Record, is that Englishmen are not de-
generating, but that, on the whole, the
race is improving in vigor.-New Or

A writer in The Paris Figaro, who has
been making fun of what he calls the
drolleries of the French language, might
have extended his purview to language
in general. There are illogicalities in
every tongue. We in England, for in
stance, do not really, though we con-
stantly say we do, light a fire, boil q pot,
blow out a candle, extinguish a lamp,
serve a table or drink a glass. In old
novels one often comes across exhorta-
tions from the witty and wise heroes and
heroines to their giddy companions pro-
testing against such incorrect expressions
as drinking a glass. These give an open
ing for a crusty, old fashioned smartness.

There are in Europe several states,
not larger than ordinary townships in
England or America, yet permitted to
enjoy perfect Independence of the
powerful governments which surround
them That which has least escaped
notice is the ancient republic of San
Marine, so called, as some say, after
an old monk who was its founder,
though another account is that this
honor is due to q pious Mason of Dali
malta in the Fourth century. 1t is a
craggy tract of country in the hills
lear Rimini, on the Adriatic, and in
cludes about 80 square miles, with a
population Of about 5000, and an
army of 40 men, commanded by sew
eral generals" for it is said that Of
fees and titles and decorations are to
be had for O suitable consideration, in
dependent of meritorious service.
Though inclosed on all sides by what
were the dominions of the pope, and
though it was severely menaced by
Napoleon / in his conquering career,
yet he was induced to respect its ven
cradle autocracy, and SO have all the
powers into whose hands the sur
rounding parts of Italy have fallen,
both before and since; so that this lit
tie republic has continued Independent
for at least fourteen centuries, alonger
period than any other government in
Europe a boast of.
Austria, Prussia and France have
each had ], 100 years of united indie
pendence, England 800, and Russia
$50 years only. 1t has an unwritten
constitution, according to which the
legislative power is vested in a council
of 60, elected by the people. OF these
20 are mobiles, 20 are t~ownspeople and
20 are from the rural population. The
executive lies with two of the council
ors, who are chosen every six months
and act jointly as regents.
The judicial power is exercised by a
doctor of laws, who must be a stranger
and cannot hold office longer than
three years. The village of 1, 500 peo-
pie, which forms the capital of the re-
public, is situated high up on Mount
