St. Paul and Minneapolis papers
have been making the most of the
quarrel between the two cite, over
the alleged census frauds in MmnN-
apolis. 1t would be in better taste al
around to say very little about it until
the court investigates the charges, al
though the po,tEonement Of tie trial
for two months is som what c<a3pH@-
ating to those intcrcs ted. II it is trr"
that Minneapolis parties have been

that city, tie outrage should be pun
ishcd unsparingly. Such things are
bad enough for directory publishers,
and should b. stamped nHt in s W
eminent census. Tho following ac-
count is from st. Paul paper:
Mr.. Murray and two or three other
st. Paul citizens engaged Detective
Mason to go over to Minneapolis AID
trace out the facts as far as possible.
The detective progressed amazingly
we'll He had been in the flour city
but few days before he secured an
engagement as clerk for this cit;z ms
census enumcratjng committee. He
was employed to copy names into the
government blanks provided for max
ing the returns to the Washington
census bureau. The detective was
shrewd and diplomatic. He succeed
ed in ingratiating himself into the es
TEEN and perfect confidence of Man
ager Stevens, of the citizens commit
tee, and was given, he now ayers, hun
dreds upon hundreds of fictitious
names to insert in the lists, and he
was directed to locate them in vacant
houses. lie was given lists Of the APP
plicants for work at employment agel
cies, the names of people to whom
aims had been given by the city, and
these also were represented to live,
some in vacant houses and some on
vacant lots where no houses exist at
all. All and all, he listed thousand,
Of mythical people. The detective
furthermore alleges that largo corps
of clerks was engaged in precisely the
same line of work, and the aggregat,
of fictitious names enumerated was
enormous. This is the substance of
the story which the detective told to
Mr.. Murray, and also to United States
Commissioner McCatferty, and it was
upon the strength of these startling
revelations that the warrants were is
sued for the arrest of twelve on,.mcrat-
ors, md on which seven were taken in
to custody by the federal officers and
all without the knowledge of United
States District Attorney Hay. The
coup was planned entirely by Detect
i've Mason, and at his advice the de-
scent was made upon the Minneapolis
cnumerating Office in the night time in
order that the enumerators might be
caught in the very act of classifying the
returns, and also so that big pile of
blanks filled with fictitious names
might be seized as evidence to be used
in the prosecution.

Economist: Colonel Brock, the
Chief of the Bureau of Statistics of the
Treasury Department, has been en-
gagged for some time in arranging to
take the statistics of the traffic on the
great lakes. Estimates which have
been made of this traffic indicate that
it is of greater magnitude than one
would suppose. The tonnage through
the Suez Canal, carrying the commerce
of all the nations of the West to the
Indies, is known to be about 100000
tons, while that through the St. Marie
above Detroit is 100000 tons. The
total tonnage of the lakes is estimated
at over 100000, while that of Lon
don and Liverpool together is only
100000. Figures like these give a
faint idea of the Importance of the
traffic to this country and to our Ca
madam neighbors. They include the
domestic traffic from one American
port to another, as well as from an
American to a Canadian port, or from
a Canadian to an American.

That editorial trip to Washington
was a wonderful promoter of good
feeling between the newspaper men
and Minnesota's representatives at
Washington. Nothing shows this more
forcibly than the following from the
Northfeld News, which sat down on
Senator Washburn pretty hard during
the past year, in connection with sum
dry appointments. Hear the News
now:
Mr.. Washburn has been courteous
to friend and foe, and has especially
interested himself in matters looking
to the advancement and development
of the great Northwest. He has re-
deemed the pledges he made his
friends even though it cost him few
disappointed ones. He has been true
and The News has the greatest admir-
alton for true man.

light was to leave Miller's and go to Billy

and got his breakfast at Buchanan's next
morning Then went to Miller's. Miller

to him. l told him the charges against
him. Miller seemed to be astonished. L
never saw any one more mortified and
penitent than Mi. Miller waS-he could
hardly believe it. The charge was that DR..
Walker claimed that MI Miller had offered
indlgnity to his wife. Miller denied it.
1.-THE ladies who were near the prisoner
were sent out of the court room and the
witness proceeded to say exactly what
Walker charged Miller with-a gross in
dignity in laying his hands ON bis Wifes
person. Miller denied it and said all he
could have done. though he was not con-
scious of even that, was to lay his hand on
Mrs. Walker s knee in endeavoring to rise
from his chair, being an old man. He told
witness to tell Dr. Walker that he denied
anv insult to Mrs. W.; that he and the
DR., were old friends and had done each
other many favors, and lie hated for there
to be any trouble; that he would meet DR..
Walker at his .'s) son-in-law's and make
reparation, OF the Doctor could bring his
family to his Ms house and he would

Walker had threatened to kill him and he
better keep out of his way. All the Miller
boys were present when he told him. I
told Miller that Walker would kill him if
the thing wasn't fixed up, and he must
try and get 1t fixed on the best terms he
could. l told Miller that Walker had said
he had invaded his house and insulted his
wife. Miller asked me it Mrs. Walker said
SO. Witness told him yes; that Mrs. w.
did say so. Miller denied it and said if he
ever took any privilege with Mrs. w. it
was not his intention to do so. He said he
might have put his hand on her leg in order
to help himself up, as he often did with
persons. Before that time witness had call
ed at Henry Miller's to tell him, at the
request of Dr.. Walker, that W. wanted to
see him on particular business. This was
before w. had made any threats against M

A RUSSIAN ROMANCE,
A WidOwer Refuses to Part with
the Body of His Wife.

a romantic story, strange if
true, is published, says Gillig-
nanni, of a wealthy Russian
gentleman living in his own
house on the banks of the Seine.
who, for the last ten years,
has kept in a box in a private
room the embalmed body of his
young wife. She was murdered
a few days after marriage,
and her sorrowing husband OBJ
tanned the Cars permission to
take her body away with him.
The discovery was made by the
prying propensities of the cook
left in charge of the house dur
ing the temporary absence of
her master. There is a curious
side to the story, which, if true,
will need explanation. How
was it that a apolice commissary,
being informed of the discov-
cry Of a corpse in the house of
a rich foreigner, should have
left IL there and simply written
to the owner of the house for
information? Those gentlemen
hesitate about makingeven for
chile entries into houses in which
they even suspect there is some-
thing they ought to know, see
or take possession of. The law
of France forbids absolutely the
keeping of a dead body in any
place but a cemetery. The Rus
sian gentleman hopes to obtain
special permission from higher
quarters to remain the custo-
dian of his beloved relic. Ifnot
he threatens to country rather
thau part with it.
