Schemes for Promoting Immi-

grafton.
OTTAWA, Ont, April THE North
west delegates who have been here the
last two weeks separated to-day, hav-
ing transacted all their business. They
interviewed Hon. john Carlton, minis
ter of agriculture, and submitted sew

farmer representatives of the different
nationalitieS settled in the Northwest

post their friends and cOuntrymen upon
the resources and adaptability OF Can
ada, and their own success in their new
homes. They asked that the cooperation
of the imperial government be asked,
for the purpose of securing represen-
tative persons resident in England,
Scotland and Ireland to visit the North
season, in order that they may see per-
sonally the fertility of the land. They
asked that the govern ment grant
bonus to any company OF corporation
who shall secure the location in the
country of one bona fide settler: that
the government send through Great
Britain .an exhibition car containing
samples of Canadian cereals. fruits.
minerals, ETC., and have immigration
officers in the old country supplied with
similar supplies; that the government
cause to be published two immigration
pamphlets, one for Manitoba and the
other for the territories. giving COM
plete description of the country. with
views illustrative of its farming, ranch
ing and mining capabilities; that a
special immigration map of Canada be
prepared, and that an edition of 100000
be stricken off and distributed among
all the school boards in Great Britain.
The minister promised that these sug-
gestions would be carefully considered.

important election in Montana since the
state election last October. out Of which
grew the famous Precinct 81 contro-
yersy. by which two sets of senators are
now contesting for seats i'll the United
State senate, took place in this city to-
day. 1t was a municipal contest, and
the Republicans made the tunnel pre-
cinct and the legislative deadlock the
issue. The Democrats accepted this.
and the result was an over
whelming defeat of the Republican
ticket. and the Democrats take it as
virdicat.on of their course in the state
election controversy. Helena has al

Wife Murderer Feusch BaEged at
Butternut.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
ASHLAND, Wis, April 7.-JOseph
Feusch, who for the past eight months
has been wanted for the brutal murder
of his wife, July Is, 1889, was captured
at Butternut this morning by Officer
Chase and brought to this city by Off
Ger Chase, of Glidden. He was con-
fronted by Officer Hart and Mr.. and
Mrs. Brunner, the uncle and aunt of
the murdered woman, who, in spite of
the fact that FeuSch had shaved off his
moustache and cut his hair close, posi-
lively identified him. Two other men
also swore that he was Feusch. He
had come into Butternut to cash
some town orders, intending to
leave Immediately afterwards, but
was arrested before he could
get away. The credit of his arrest is
due to Chairman Henry Besse, of the
town of Butternut. who knew that a
man answering Feusch's description
had for the past two months been work
ing a homestead few miles from But
ternut. He was corresponding with
friends in Germany under the name of
John Webber. Besse intercepted his
letters and so identified him, but the
climax was not reached until to-day.
The man is very nervous. and will re-
ply to no questions put to him, but there
is hardly shadow of doubt that he is
the man wanted, as his appearance tai
lies exactly with his description and
photograph.

DENVER, Col, April For the past
eight weeks Thiel's detectives have

case. and ever since it was reported that
the absconder was in Denver, Manager
Sullivan, of the Portland agency. has
been on the alert. Last week man
named Slnott, bank clerk at Portland,
mysteriously disappeared. A descrip-
ton of him corresponded with Silcott.
Sunday he turned up in Portland in a
demented condition, and was imme-
diately picked up by one of Thiers
men. When brought on the carpet be-
fore Sullivan he was accused of default
ing from Washington, and. being EVIL
IDENTIFY cut of his mind, he said yes, adj
hitting all the charges. The informa-
ton was Immediately telegraphed to
Chief Cunningham at Denver, and in
some manner the newspapers got wind
of the affair and possession of the tele-
gram. The chief of the agency re-
marked that he had followed the case
from the time Detective Alexander first
stated that Siicott was in Denver. The
mistake was natural one, and caused
great deal of gnashing of teeth in the
agency.

BUTTE, Mont, April Frank Scott
awoke this morning to find his wife
dead in bed beside him, a sickening
froth oozing from her mouth. A rem
nant of morphine in paper on a table
near by explained the cause of her
death. Scott and his wife Emma came
here from Chicago three months ago.
Yesterday Scott returned from trip to
Missoula and told his wife that he had
fitted up place there and they would
remove at once. She refused to 90 and
they quarreled. About II o'clock last
night the woman called a messen-
ger boy and sent for NOR
phine. This morning Scott shook
his wife, telling her it was time
to get up to take the train and discov-
cred she was dead. The cause of the
suicide is supposed to have been the
fact that the woman had found lover
during her husbands absence and did
not want to leave him. The dead
woman was an orphan, and her only
relative is a sister living in Chicago.
The remains will be shipped to Chicago

WRECKED BY A THIEF.
Failure of the Banking Firm Of
George X. SiStare & Sons,


NEW YORK, April 7.-George K. Sis
tare & Sons, bankers, have failed. A
defalcation in their Philadelphia Office
is said to have been the cause. Sistare
d Sons had been in business forty
years. A member of the firm stated to-
night that the defalcation of the Phila-
delphia representative of the house
amounted to over 100000. He would
not say how much more. The shortage,
he said, was known before Hilger's
death, which occurred March 29. He
would not say whether proceedings had
been taken against the defaulter, nor
whether Hilger had committed suicide,
nor what was the cause of his death.
No statement of the firms affairs could
be made until tomorrow. The firm ex-
pected to resume shortly, as they had
no liabilities outside of the Philadelphia
Office. Street rumors place the firms
liabilities at S500,000, and the defalca
ton at about the same figure. Two
years ago A. M. Stanton, the manager
for the firm at Detroit, Mich, caused it
a loss of $150,000 by falsifying his ac-
counts, but the firm recovered from this
blow and continued to enjoy high
credit.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April &c. FL.
Needles, acting manager for Sistare q
Sons, says he understands that the late
manager, Hilger. speculated in stocks
ana lost probably $250,000. Mr.. Hilger
died of typhoid fever after fortnight's
illness.

THE SLATE BUSTED.
An Effort to Fix Things" Quietly
Knocked Out Last Night,

An Effort to "Fix Things" Quietly
Knocked Out Last Night.
The ''slate" was broken before Col.
Kiefer's name had been inscribed upon
it.
There was great tumult in the ranks
of the Republican bosses at the Clifton
last evening. Pursuant to the orders of
Oil Inspector Sam Nichols nearly 100 of
the faithful ia who meet in convention
at the Newmarket this morning gathered
at the Clifton hotel about $3.50 last even
ing for the purpose of making up that
''gOod. strong and pure ticket that has
been promised by the Republican lead
ers for so long, and which was also to
be settled in fair and open court with
out secret consultations and combina-
tiOnS.
Well. the delegates came together in
such great numbers that expert manip-
uIator as is 5 Nichols S the gathering
got beyond him. AfLer imbibing freely
at the Clifton bar the delegates ad-
journed to the room formerly utilized
as restaurant and proceeded, per pro-
gramme, to elect Sam Nichols chair
man and to DARIUS F. Reese secretary.
Things looked favorable for the ''slate"
at this time, and the chairman'S cOunte-
nance, bronzed as it is by fifty hard
fought political campaigns. frightened
up wonderfully.
About this time Col. Samuel LOwen-
stein began to get very warm in the
collar, and he arose in his usual impress
sive manner, and, after declaring that
there was no authority or warrant for
holding the meeting, moved to adjourn.
This was voted down after flow of
al
eral others who merely wanted "to talk
over the situation" This was too much
for Col. Lowenstein, however, and
he stalked out of the meeting
along with several friends, while
the slate-makers hooted and yelled.
"Go to South st. Paul, where you be-
long," ga government gauger has no
business here,n and "GOod bye,
Sammy" were some Of the mouthings
hurled at the colonel.
Lowenstein's motion was lost, but his
departure broke the slate, and without
further ado the meeting adjourned to
another part of the hotel, where several
old debts were liquidated and number
of new ones contracted.
sYou see." said one OF the w0uld-be
Slate-makers, ''tO0 many Of the dele
gates turned out. No one expected half
as many. A slate would have been
fixed up had the meeting not resolved
itself into convention, but when it did
so it was useless to attempt to do any
thing.''
The Republican convention this MORN
ing will be very lively affair; for,
while the attempt at Slate-making on
large scale last evening failed, there is
a slate, and it will go through unless
the opposition do some very lively work.
It's sad to see the party of high moral
ideas performing such escapades, but
pity though tits, tits true.

FARGO, n. D., April 7.-Some three
hundred farmers were in attendance at
the opening of the auction of school
land leases to-day. The lands were
rented for terms of one and one-half
and three years, and prices paid are
considered extremely low, very few
quarter sections bringing what they
were actually worth, and many with
100 acres broken were bid in as low as
S. per year, less than the taxes would
amount to if owned by private parties.
The causes assigned for these ex-
tremely low prices are lack of competi-
tion and combination among bidders
to avoid contests. The total amount BID
to-day was $5,25S as annual rent on sew
enty-siX pieces, an average of about $6S
per quarter section. The sale will con-
tinue two or three days, as only about
one-third of the lands were disposed of
to-day.
