FEDERAL CONSPIRACY.
There Can Be No Mistaking of
the Law.

There Can Be No Mistaking of
the Law.
The law of federal conspiracy, under
which the actions are to be brought,
has been pretty thoroughly passed
upon.
THE law in relation to conspiracy"
saip Judge Egan to GLOBE reporter
Yesterday, twas fully gone over in the
st. Louis whisky conspiracy cases.
These cases, it will be remembered,
were brought upon a charge of de-
frauding the internal revenue depart
ment of the government. Some of the
brightest and most famous lawyers of
the entire country we're engaged in the
hearing of the case. Judge Dillon was
the presiding Judge. His charge to the
Jury and his rulings in the hearing of
the cases are reliable landmarks for all
and cover all the propositions of law
that can be brought up in the present
cases-that is, the prosecution Of the
Minneapolis men for conspiracy against
the census laws of the. United States-as
we'll as upon any other conspiracy cases
that can possibly arise in this country
in the future. His rulings and his
charge to the jury were clear, plain and
unequivocaI. The law is settled, now
for the facts"

The Reported Population of St.
Paul and Other Cities.
A telegram was received yesterday
which assumed to give the semi-official
figures of the population Of several of
the larger cities of the country. In this
reckoning Minneapolis is credited with
5000 inhabitants and st. Paul with
only 13S, O0O Supervisor Smiths atten-
ton was directed to the report by
GLOBE reporter.
Those are not the reliable facts"
said Mr.. Smith thoughtfully. while [
do not profess to know the exact figure,
l advise my friends to place no credence
in such statements. The United States
census bureau has not made a public
declaration of census statistics, and
until it does our people must
be content to wait. | surely will

Davenport is not willing to inform any
one Of the result Of the canvass in Min

The general impression is that the
Minneapolis reports as sent to Wash
ington will show upwards of 100000 pop
ulation. 1t is believed here that the
original intention was to make a show
ing of $4,000 in the sheer fear that st.
Paul would show 100000. But no one
fancies that st. Paul will reach that
figure, while all are certain that it will

The Prosecution of the Alleged
Census COnSpiratOrs.

The Prosecution of the Alleged
Census COnspiratOrs.
Everything indicates that the census
middle is fast being brought to focus.
Last Saturday night George N. Baxter,
of Faribault, the eX-United States dis
trict attorney, received a telegram from
the department of justice requesting
that he accept the pasition of assistant
prosecuting attorney. Mr.. Baxter UNI
derstood full well the unpleasant re-
lations he would be placed in as an as
sistanf merely, and straightwaY de-
clined the commission. He would not
accept a subordinate office. 1t is under
stood that thereupOn Senator WaShburn,
who is taking a lively interest III the
controversy as the particular champion
of the cause of Ed Stevens and others I'M
plicated, telegraphed EGgene NJ. Hay,
urging the ACCESSIBILITY Of Mr.. Baxter
figuring as the chief prosecuting attor-
ney. This hint is said to have been all
sufficient for Mr.. Hay. MI. Hay re-
poses absolute trust in the sagacity of
William WaShburn. His zeal for that
gentIeman's election was so fervent at
the last session of the legislature that as
soon as WaShburn'S desires had been
encOmpassed Mr.. Hay took public occa-
sion to proclaim to an admiring
constituency that his especial OBJ
lect for seeking seat in the
state legislature had been accom-
plished. w. d. Washburn had been
elected to the United States senate and
he was satisfied, and, moreover, he was
perfectly willing to retire to private
fife. But his humble constituency felt
differently. They bad elected the Hen
nepin delegation for purposes of local
legislation, as well as the mOmentous
purpose of putting w. D. Washburn
into fat position, and they demurred
TO Fugene's frank declaration. The
yesult was that Eugene qualified this

The result of Mr.. Washburn,s little
hint. or suggestion, is that Mr.. Hay has
requested Mr.. Baxter to prosecute. and
Mr.. Baxter has wired to Washington
his willingness to Otficiate as chief pros
ecutor. Nh Baxter cannot be biased III
any way. He is resident OF Farl0auit,
and he is furthermore esteemed as one
of the fairest attorneys in the state. IL
there is not clear case he Will move TO
dismiss, and he is acceptable, therefore,
to both cities.
Mr.. Hay was seen by GLOBE
reporter yesterday afternoon. tie
renewed his allegation that his posi-
ton has been mlsrepresented by
the st. Paul papers, but Mr.. Hay never
explains wherein he has been unlustly
dealt with. The GLOBE reporter has
certainly endeavored to treat him with
narticuIar fairness. but he persists that
i'm technical matters he has had the
worst of it. Yesterday he said he would
be no more embarrassed i'll prosecuting
his Minneapolis friends than he is en-
barrassed in other cases. 1t is embar-
RAISING, he asserted, to prosecute any
body. Mr.. Hay confessed that there is
a probability that Mr.. Baxter will assist
in the prosecution, but he left the nat
ural inference that he, Hay, would be
the real prosecutor. On the other hand,
the impression obtains everywhere that
Mr.. Hays responsibilities will be sec
ondary TO those of MIR. Baxter in the
event the latter undertakes the case,
which now seems a foregone conclu-
sion.
United States Inspector Baudinot was
IN the city yesterday. He will doubt
less swear out the warrants for the ar
rest on the charge of conspiracy against
the federal laws. Inspector Boudinot
has obtained considerable damaging
evidence against the Minneapolis peo-
pie. and he consequently stands in a
good position to instigate the proceed
ings. Nothing, however, will be done
for several days. Mr.. Hay will not now
make an independent move i'll the
premises, and Mr.. Baxter has not yet
received his commission, and he Will
surely do nothing until he does receive
it. This will take several days as a
matter of course, and everything Will
meanwhile be held in allegiance.

WASHINGTON, June 90.-Hay's fall IS
complete. The cheeky district attor-
new who refused to do his duty IS III
disgrace at the department OF justice
and is disgraced by the administration
that appointed him. The prosecution
of the Minneapolis participators and
abettors of the frauds on the census has
been taken from his unwilling hands.
The humiliation of Hay is emphasized by
the selection of his Democratic predeceS-
sor by Republican administration to
perform his duty. The department of
Justice to-day wired George IL. Baxter,
of Faribault, authority to prosecute the
cases as special counsel. Hay was
wired that Baxter would be APP
pointed and informed by dispatches
from friends that he could
save himself to some extent by hurry
ing dispatch on to the wires asking
that Baxter be appointed. Hay filed
this dispatch shortly before 4 O'clock
lust in time to get whatever credit there
was In the making of the forced request.
This appointment completes all that
the st. Paul delegates came to Wash
ington for. The department of justice
and the census Office are now thoroughly
alive to the Minneapolis intquity.
There will be a recount Of Minneapolis
and an honest one, and the rascals will
not only be turned out, but prosecuted
with every prospect of their conviction.

Senator Vance Opposes the Sub
Treasury Warehouse Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 80. - Senator
Vance has written a letter to Elias
Carr, president of the Farmers Al
lance of North Carolina, in
opposition to the sub-treasury
warehouse bill. He states that
he procured hearing by MessrS. Polk
and Macure for the bill before the SEN
ate committee, but he says: My own
position remains the same. | cannot
support the bill in its present shape,
but | am not opposed to the principle
points out that the way to benefit the
agricultural classes is by reforming the
tariff. He is opposed to the feature
which provides for lOaning. of money to
the people by the government on de-
post of grain; but thinks that govern
ment warehouses at ports might be Itil-
lied for the reception of domestic arti-
Giles and certificates received for the
same upon which money could be Dor
roWed. He says that the farmers move
ment at this time amounts to little short
of a revolution and that oppressed
freemen often become impatient and
that impatient men are often unwi5e.
The Democratic party is, he says, in
favor of the legislation which the al
lance is fighting for. He calls attention
to the contest in South Carolina, (which
can only have the result of putting the
state back under African rule" This
too" he exclaims, "among men who pro-
fess to agree upon matters of

LONDON, June 9O.-The Marquis of

to personally deny the statement that

there are many who believe that he will
be compelled to do so.He certainly will if
it is made to appear that his connection
with the government is necessary to it's

LONDON, June 30.-In the house Of

whether the government would assist
the inhabitants Of Heligoland desiring
to remain British subjects to settle in
other parts of Great Britain, and also
whether Germany'S right to fortify the
island was restricted. The cession of
English territory, he declared, was con
trary to English usages, and he hoped
the government would carefully con-
slider the wishes of the people inhabit-
ing such territory. Parliament, he
said, was still entitled to further in
formation on the subject. Lord
Salisbury replied that he was
not aware that Mr.. GOschen,
chancellor of the eYchequer, was in
possession of funds that could be used
to settle the islanders in other parts OF
the empire He did not think such a
measure would be in conformity with
Every security had been taken to pro-
tect their interests. The government
had done its best to ascertain the wishes
of the islanders, although it is not taken

suggested any limit to Germany's right
to fortify the island. just as soon as
the convention was signed the govern
ment would deem it necessary to fully
inform parliament and explainit its policy
at length. In the house of commons

reply to question whether,in the event
