SEEKING RELIEF.
Chicago and New York Want
Bond Period Extended.


CHICAGO. Dec. 12.-Before the Nc
Kinley tariff act went into effect, I'M
pogters bought very heavily; some OF
them to the extent of their ability to
pay under the then existing montary
conditions. Since these conditions have
materially changed and money has be-
come exceedingly tight. Many who eX-
to take their goods ont of the bonded
warehouse on February l. as required
by law, now find that it will require a
vast amount of hustling in the aggre-
gate to get together the amount $50, ,O0O-
0oJ necessary to be paid on that date.
The Journal says. that the merchants and
bankers of the country, in view of all
the conditions, propose to ask congress
to extend the bonded period to Octobe-
l. 1891 and that petitions to this end are
now being circulated and generally
signed by importers and bankers in
this city.
New York, Dee. 12.-The following
dispatch was forwarded to Secretary
Window to-day by the woolen goods
association. which is interested only in
domestic manufactures and represents
over 500, 100000 capital:
1.-THE wooden goods association, composed
of WOODEN manufacturers and commission
merchants representing exclusively the do.
mestic woolen interests of America. desires
to earnestly and respectfully recommend the
immediate passage by congress of an act ex
tending the time for Withdrawal of goods
from bond from Feb. to July /, 1891.
This association believes that the business
interests OF the entire country will be greatly
benefited by this mt asuIe.

Attorney General Miller Moves to
Reverse g Verdict.

Reverse Verdict.
CANTON, O., Dec. IA private tele-
gram just received from Washington
says: Attorney General Miller has
confessed error in the supreme court OF
the United States in the conduct of the
Hay Camp killing case. in which seven
men were sentenced to die Dec. 10 by
the United States court for the North
ern district of Texas. This will proba-
bly, reverse the verdict and sentence of
the Texas court. Capt. Cyrus Freas, of
the Nineteenth Ohio volunteer infantry,
formerly of this county, and six other
citizens of HugotOwn, Kan., were in-
dicted for the killing of Sheriff
Cross and two companions from
Woodsdale, Kan, whose bodies
were found in No Mans Land. The
evidence was all circumstantial. Sam
Woods, VI Woodsdale leader, was shown
to have worked up the prosecution, and
1t Is claimed that S100,0U0 was spent in
the name of the government to convict
these men. Grand Army men and vari-
Gus society organizations all over tile
country have been moving in behalf of
the prisoners. one of whom was q
county commissioner, and another
congressional candidate. Senator Man
derSOn, of Nebraska, has been active on
behalf of the prisoners. The question

several friendlies who have been
waiting for some time to escape to
the agency. AS the spies took adj
vantage of the fight to make their es-
cape, it is not known yet which chief

GREEN GOODS MEN.
important Arrest of One of the
Tribe in New York.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The green
goo ds swindlers, who have for years
been operating from, in and about New
York city, have recently devised new
scheme, which is by representing them
selves as belonging TO some syndicate or
mining company and arranging with
fOurth-class postmaster on some star
route, away from the regular lines
of travel. to forward their mail to
them as they may decide. This re-
suits in the green goods men directing
the victim to address his cOmmunica-
tiOnS to them at the small pnstoffice.
The postmaster. sometimes knowing
that he is dong wrong and at other
times being deceived. forwards the
green goods letters or holds them un-
til courier irum New York comes
after them. A short time since the post
master at Alber, Mich, was approached
by the green goods men, who offered
HIM good weekly salary to cooperate
with them. The postmaster reported
this to the pOStoffice department.. MI.
RathbOnt, the chief inspector, immedi-
ately instructed the postmaster to ae-
cept Il g employment from the green
gods men holding intact the money
paid to him, which he did. The result
is that inspectors Jacobs and Fisher
have just arrested New York green
goods man with 200 green goods letters
which he had just Ia en- from the Alber
office. his arrest is considered o very
important one.

was held 10 day at the court house in

twenty delegates, a majority of them
from Otter Tail county, with Henry
PlOUman, district president, in the
chair; Louis Hanson. Clay county, sec
fetary. The meeting. from start 20 fin
sh, was battle royal between Don
nelly and certain of the Otter Tail AL
lance leaders. While the committees
we're out Donnelly made long speech
full of good stories of attacks on Albert
Schefer, Sprague, Hall, HOdgsOn and
9ther Alliance men. and of praise of
Donnelly, c. P. Carpenter, of Dakota
county, and II. G. StlverS, Brainerd. also
made speeches. The report of the
committee OH resolutions precipI-
lated fight. The resolu-
!iuns declared favor Donnelly for
president. John B. H0mpe opposed
his, urging that Donnelly had too many
lights on his hands TO make a good pres
luent, and that. if elected. he would
Iaise h-ll in the Alliance, as he had
always done wherever he was placed.
HOmpe's speech was fairly courteous,
but very strong against Donnelly.
This gave the sage a chance to get in
Dne of his characteristic addresses. in
which ne said Hompe's previous record

Boen opposed him because he was
AFRAID if Donnelly was president Boen's
salary as county register of deeds would

great oath that it was lie. DonneIly
continued TO pile up charges against
BOen and Hompe for some time.
Hompe retorted that they might as well
elect skunk" for president as Don
nelly: that the skunk had a scent bag
for his protection, and that Donneliy's
scent bag of a mouth was his protection.
Eric Olson chimed in to help
the local leaders, and also got
q liberal dose from the Sage.
The lie was exchanged half dozen
times. c. p. Carpenter defended Don
nelly from the charge he was sent from
Dakota county to raise hi in the iegis-
latuIe. After an hour or more of this
sort of thing, the resolution endorsing
DOnnelly, was defeated by a vote ten to
nine, and II. E. Boen nominated as

the vote was declared. The general
