Judge Maawaring, at Saltwater, dis
missed the test case brought against
William Fee for selling meat not passed
by the Minnesota inspectors. He did
not give his reasons and did not print a
written opinion although he undoubtedly
decided that the law was unconstitu-
tional.
Andrew Jansen, ut St. Paul, died OF
typhoid fever in the city hospital. His
father came from Blooming Prairie, and
after showing his greed for some money
he supposed the dead son left, refused TO
take tie body home and bury it because
the anticipated money was not forth
coming.
1t is said that Minneapolis will have a
new morning paper within the next

is also announced that The Journal is
making arrangements for the publica-
ton Of a Sunday morning paper ON a
2-cent basis.
The steamer Ruby, with I. small ex-

Bandits Hold Up . Train ON the Fort
l.. Worth and Denver Road.
Fort WORTH, Tex, Aug. 6.-The
south bound Fort Worth and Denver
mail and express train was robbed by
six masked men at 2 o'clock q. M, be-
tween Cheyenne and Tascosa, Tex,
about 375 miles from Fort Worth. The
passenger coaches were detached from
the locomotive and the engineer forced
to pull his engine aheada few yards and
then walk back and force the express
car open with pick. Express Messenger
harsh, realizing the situation, concealed
all the express packages and put out the
lights, and the thieves secured but three
packages Of express matter, which was
but small part of what was in the car.
The mail agent was next compelled
to open his car, and the mail
matter was searched for valuablea. The
mail agent managed to hide the most
valuable registered packages, and the
entire amount of money. secured in both
cars will not exceed $4,000. The pas
sengers were not molested. After the
robbery the bandits ordered the engineer
to pull out and fred parting shot at the
train. They then made their escape.

For BETTER Cattle INSPECTION.

WASHINGTON, Aug. T. Secretary
Rusk, who left Washington with the
president, goes no further than New
York, where On important conference
will be held. The programme is to have
number of representative railroad men
and Senator MCPHERSON meet the secre-
tary at the Fifth avenue hotel to discuss
matters connected with diseased cattle
in trans-shipment. The secretary wants
to have the railroads so arrange matters
that they can centralize the cattle coming
over their roads at convenient points
where they may be inspected the more
thoroughly. 1t is the intention of the
agricultural department to do all in its
power to prevent the expectation of
diseased cattle.

ANOTHER SEATTLE.
The Spokane Falls Fire Prnves
as Disastrous as That of Its
Neighbour.
Over Thirty Blocks Burned, With an
Estimated Loss of About
100000.
An Iowa Town Narrowly Escapes Des'
trnction-Cyclones in Indiana
ard Kansas.

SPOKANE FALLS, WASH, Aug. 6.-The
entire business portion Of the city, with
the exception of one mill, was destroyed
by the fire Sunday night. The loss will
reach 1000, 900. The blaze started in
lodging house on Railway avenue, at b
o'clock D. NJ, and burned until morning.
A large number Of frame buildings and
several grain elevators were near the
lodging house, and soon after the fire
broke out they were ablaze.
A strong wind was blowing toward
the city at the time, and the blaze was
soon beyond the control of the filemen.
The fire leaped from street to street and
nothing could be done but let the flames
have their own way until they reached
the river and then endeavor to prevent
the fire from reaching the buildings on
the opposite side. The flames swept
through the city and one business block
after another was consumed, everything
being burned to the waters edge.
The fire department was stationed on
the other side of the stream and prevent
ed flying timbers from setting fire to the
buildings there.
Only few dwellings were destroyed,
as the residence portion of the city was
not visited by the fire.
The burned district includes all that
part of the city from the Northern Pa
cific railway to the river and from Lin
coin to Washington street. Several per-
sons are known to have pcrished, and
several more were injured by leaping
from windows.
Charles Davis of Chicago, a guest at
the Arlington house, was awakened by
flames bursting through the door of his
room on the third floor. He jumped
from the window and was
suoCKINGLY MANGLED
and died in few minutes. A woman,
whose name is unknown leaped from
the second story of the Pacific hotel and
was killed. The fire spread with such
astonishing rapidity that it is believed
many were shut off from escape before
they were even aware Of their danger. A
dozen large buildings were blown up with
giant powder by the orders OF the mayor
but even this proved futile. The North
ern Pacific railroad is probably the heav-
lest loser, the magnificent new freight
warehouse being destroyed. Their loss,
Including freight burned, will reach
about $4,000 All provisions and
supplies were burned, and there will
necessarily be much suffering for several
days. Appeals for help have been sent
out, and Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and
several-neighboring towns have already
responded.

LONDON, Aug. THE seizure of the
Black Diamond has again directed pub
lie attention to the issue between Eng
land and the United States on tine SUBJ
ject of the seal fisheries in Behring sea,
and the newspapers comment very freely
upon what most of them agree in de-
scribing as the latest outrage. The st.
James Gazette very emphatically con-
dennns the seizure, and believes that the
English-speaking people On both sides Of
the Atlantic are tired of the lodges of
political tricksters, resorted to to further
their own selfish purposes, such as the
dismissal of the British minister at
Washington and the present gratuitous
outrage. The Gazette trusts that Sir
Julian Pauncefote's presence at this time
in London will hasten q settlement of
the vexed questions involved in the
Black Diamond seizure.
