CORRIDOR CHATS.

An interesting group Of promlne r.
MinnesCtaRs surrounded table at the
Merchants yesterday noon and dis
cussed the political issues of the day
with considerable gusto. They were all
Republicans, but the trend of the
discussion demonstrated that they were
nearly all out of harmony with their
party. Hon. Jared Benson. of An0ka;
Railroad Commissioner Murdoch,
of Murdoch; Hon. r. A.
Costello, of Duluth. and Hon.
John J. Rhodes, of Hastings, made

son and Costello could stand it no long
err remarked Mr.. Murdoch laughingiy
to a group in the lobby of the hotel in
the afternoon. "They were the only
ones in the party who pretended to
stand by the party leaders on the tar
itf question. and We made it deuced un-
comfortable for them. The fact is"
continued Mr.. Murdoch, something
has got to he done i'll the way of lower
ing the tariff. or the Republican nomi-
nation for the presidency next time
won't be worth much"
That's Il fact" chimed in Gen. Baker
at this point. The passage of the Nc
Kinley bill or the failure of this con-
gresS to pass a tariff bill at this session
will swamp the party i'll the coming
elections"
THE proposition to place tariff on
hides is the most outrageous proposition
ever advanced,' remarked Mr.. Muir
dock. Statistics show that the most
prosperous business in this country
during the last eighteen years has
been the leather industry, and we are
to-day exporting more leather goods
than we are manufactures in any other
lire. This tariff will benefit no one but
Phil Armour, and has been placed in
the Mckinley bill at his dictation. Ar

Brought i'm the Federal Court.

Brought i'm the Federal Court.
The Duluth Storage and Forwarding
company and the Duluth Street Rail-
way company have commenced an ac-
ton in the United States circuit court
against Frederick Prentice. of Toledo,
o., to quiet title to lots 5, Z. 8, II, ID, Is,
IL, 10. 81 and %, in block g. of Lay Front
ued at $4,000. The action is also
brought on behalf of such other parties
who, having the same interest as plaint-
ifs, and desire to appear and partici-
pate in the action. There are about 700
parties who are interested in the cause,
and own lands valued at about 81 ,000,-
000-being about $500 lots, and conSti-
tuting all of Duluth proper, OF what Is
known as the Third division, a portion
of Bay Front division. and portion
of the Central division. An undivided
half of these lots and parcels of land is
claimed in severalty by the various
owners, under title derived through
John NJ. Gilman, who secured them in
1864 by deed from Benjamin Armstrong.
/ he lands were plated about twenty
years ago, and constitute the most CEN
trail portion of Duluth.
1t is stated in the complaint. that on
Sept. II, 1856, Benjamin Armstrong and
wife, executed deed to Frederick
Prentice for the lone undivided" half
of land "beginning at a large stone at
the head of ST. Louis River bay, nearly
adjoining Minnesota point, and running
one mile north. west one mile, and
south one mite to the beginning. The
land was set off to the Indian chief
Buffalo at the Indian treaty of Sept.
80, 1854, and was afterwards dis
posed of to the Indian chief
Buffalo to Benz. Armstrong, as shown
by records filed with the government
documents The deed of Buffalo was
not executed, acknowledged or certi-
fed, as required by law. 1t is claimed
that none of the lands described as be-
longing to the plaintiffs are Included in
the deed of Buffalo to Prentice. 1t is
claimed that John NJ. Gilman purchased
the lands from Armstrong in good faith;
that Prentice has never, through him.
self or tenants, had possession OF said
lots or any of them.
1t is alleged that Prentice never gave
any attention to claiming title to the
property until 1888. In 1884 he brought
suit against one Of the occupants, but
was defeated in the suit. Another
suit was brought in 1856, which he also
lost. On Friday last he brought nine
teen actions-notice of which appeared
in Yesterdays GLOBE. 1t was deter
mined by number of the claimants of
the most valuable portions of the lands
to unite in defending their interests.
They accordingly commenced the action
yesterday on behalf of all the claimants
against Prentice. The proceeding is in
the chancery side of the United States
circuit court. 1t will be hotly contest
ed case and possibly will go to the court
OF final resort for decision.

Henry Willard.
The great financier and protector OF
big enterprises for the development Of
the Twin CitiesJ arrived in st. Paul at
7:45, having travelled from Milwaukee
over the Wisconsin Central. The re-
port that Carl Schurz would accompany
Mr.. Willard proved, like many others,
untrue. Mr.. SchurZ would have ac-
companied the Northern Pacific mag
nate had he not been detained by bu5i-
ness in New York. Mr.. Willard had a
companion, however, in the person OF
Herr E. Rothenall. of Berlin, who is the
representative of German capitalists.
The two gentlemen are at the Hotel
Ryan. The first visitor received by
MIR. Willard was President ID. A. Mont
fort, Of the Twin Cities Commercial
club. The club will have banquet at
the Ryan tomorrow evening, at which
Mr.. Willard will be present. President
Cakes, of the Northern Pacific, was
afterwards cloSeted with Mr.. Willard,
who shortly appeared in the rotunda OF
the hotel and met Secretary Tallmadge,

Mr.. Willard declining to divulge any

respecting the Northern Pacific and the
consolidation of the Wisconsin Central.
He again excused himself, with the re-
mark that President Cakes was the best

Probable Promotion OF Bishop
MARTY,

1t is generally believed in Catholic
circles of st. Paul that Bishop Marty, of
Sioux Falls, S. d., will succeed to the
vacancy as archbishop of Milwaukee,
caused by the death of the late Arch
bishop HeiSs. The needs and peculiar
tiles Of the see make it desirable that
some one having the characteristics of
Bishop Marty should be appointed, and
as he will be strongly recommended by
Catholic prelates of the Northwest and
is said to be acceptable to Cardinal Glib
bons, there is strong probability that
the pope will designate him for the
position.

The Prison Mirror.

We are in receipt of the lst num-
Der, vol. 4, of the above named paper.
The title would cause some people to
revolt at the idea of reading it, but it
might be we'll to "Prove all things
and hold fast to that which is good"
The prejudice that is so untgersal
against "Prison birds" Is Ill timed.
while we express a superabundance
of sympathy for the poor Indian and
Negro, we are apt to loose sight of
the ills nearer home. The circum.
stances that have placed the Indian
and African in such a condition are
also applicable to the inhabitants of
our prison, or similar ones.
Not one of the occupants of Still
water started out at once to become q
rObber, or murderer; their surround.
ings drove them on; perhaps they had
poor home raising, or perhaps they
got into bad company, and was led by
degrees from one small crime to a
larger one. Not one mother of son
in prison believes that her boy began
the downward career voluntarily, and
of his own free will; and she is right
in most cases.
Why then should we not lend a
helping hand to those unfortunate
men to encourage them, it don't cost
much sometimes to add to other
peoples enjoyment.
Three years ago number of the
prisoners in Saltwater, among them
even the youger brothers, contributed
of their small savings enough to start
"The Prison Mirror" it is a small
paper,-iust what they were able tt

TURKISH PUNISH ERTs,

Criminals do not receive such sever,
sentences as in former times. II
Turkey twenty years ago men were
hanged for tribes; tradesmen who SOLD
short weight might be nailed by thu
ear to their own doorposts; and petty
thieves, as we'll as men who were i'm
pertinent TO officials, or who refused tc
pay their taxes twice over, were
bastinadoed on the soles of their feet
This last punishment, by the way, was
light or cruel according as the patient
was accustomed to go bar3footed or to
spend his life in barouches. The
water carriers, porters, street fruit
sellers, and peasant generally, whose
soles were like horn, cared little for
twenty-five cuts with bamboo; but to
tradesmen, clerks, and women the
stripes were excruciatingly painful, and
brought weeks of lameness.
The present Sultan has abolished
the bastinado in the European part of
his dominions, and practically done
away with capital punishment, except
for brigandage and for attempt of
assassinating high officials. Even
brigands, however, are only hanged
when they have laid hands ON for
eigners and caused an cutlery in the
European press. Genuine Turks
seldom find their way into Jail, saving
for murder or inability to pay taxes,
and the murders are often committed
under the influence of religious fana-
ticism, when the Mussulman, driven
mad by the fast of the Ramaden or by
the rejoicings of the Bairam holidays,
runs amuck with q knife among a crowd
of Giaours. Such offenders, however,
are always leniently dealt with by the
Pashas, unless, of course, they happen
to kill foreign Christian having an
Ambassador to aVenge him.
In Turkish prisons the Mussulmans
and Christians are kept apart, and the
former, grave and gentlemanlike-
looking set of men, bask in the sun
most of the day, smoking, and they
perform frequent additions at the
trickling fountain in the middle of
their airing yard They give no
trouble, and wait with the utmost
patience until it shall please Allah to
open the prison doors tor them. The
herd of Greeks, Bulga-
rians and Macedonians, with the most
villainous faces, morals and manners
have to be ruled with
tight hand to be kept from strangling
one another. When it becomes neces-
sary to hang one of these gentry, the
Greek goes to his punishment strug-
Cling ard bowling; the Turk makes no
more ado about the matter than if he
were going to have his head shaved.
AS the Turkish exchequer provides no
hangmah or ropes for executions, some
curious things occasionally happen.
Not long ago Turk, who had to be
hanged at Kirdioh,' walked about the
town for an hour with two soldiers
who had heen ordered to execute him.
These soldiers did not mean to buy
rope with their own money, and they
failed to borrow one. Eventually they
broke into stable, stole rope. and
hanged their man from nail over the
Bar.
