DOESN'T HOLD WATER.
Ed Stevens Affidavit Laughed at
in ST. Paul.

Almost overcome by the intolerable
heat of the afternoon, Judge Flandrau,
of the citizens executive committee,
was found seated in his cosy suite of
Office rooms in the New York Life
building yesterday. He was languidly
flaming himself with huge palm leaf.
and absorbing as much comfort as he
could from the little breeze he was able
to create in that way. He had read the
Stevens affidavit, which was calculated
to crush Detective Mason into abject
ignOminy.
1T is peculiar thing" he observed,
but it cannot be very damaging to the
mass of evidence that Detective Mason
has accumulated. 1t sounds very like
the ordinary plea of a man who has
been charged with crime-a plea OF
not guilty, that is all.'
Mr.. Flandrau had not received any
intelligence from Washington, but he
expects telegram .his morning. He
feels perfectly we'll satisfied that AS
soon as the facts can be laid before Gen.
Miller, the arrest of a dozen people
connected with the Minneapolis "manu-
featuring annex will be ordered. The
charge will be conspiracy, Of course.
Nothing else will stick. owing to the
popularity of the case.
Others were inclined to place like
estimate upon the Stevens affidavit.
ED Stevens could do nothing less in
such an emergency" was the common
remark.

Mrs. Cougars Description of a
Prohibition and q License State.
Fans were the prominent feature at
the opening of the second days session
of the Prohibition state convention at
the Newmarket yesterday morning,
and those who were not fortunate Or
thoughtful enough to have these breeze
raisers were brave enough to go it in
their shirt sleeves. The morning ex-
ereises were opened with prayer by
Rev. A. j. Williams. of Cottonwood
county. This was followed by an in
teresting address from j. o. Barrett, OF
Browns Valley, upon "The Labor Side
of the Temperance Question" The
address was we'll written and thought
full discussion of this phase of the tenn
perance problem.
On motion of Mr.. Pinkham telegram
was sent to the convention of the Pro-
hibitiOn party which convened III the
pioneer Prohibition state of Maine yes
terday, and, on motion of George F.
Wells, a committee composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen was appointed to
audit the accounts of the party: w. M.
Lawrence, George r. WhitcOmb, S.
Moffit, j. A. Williams and A. A. Stone.
At this time Mrs. Helen Cougar, of
Indiana, entered the hall, and was at
once invited to address the convention.
She is an elderly woman with gray hair
and keen, intellectual look. A clear,
musical voice rendered her a very at
tractive and pleasant talker. During
the last few weeks she has been speak
ing throughout South Dakota, and she
claimed that the prOhibitory law is being
enforced there.
81 have been in twenty-three of the
leading towns of South Dakota" she
said, land, good friends, l have seen no
more of drunken men and liquor selling
than l have seen of mad dogs. Prohi-
bitlon does prohibit in South Dakota.

This was followed by singing by Mr..

WHISKY DEALERS ARE HOT.
They Will Fight the Trust Tooth
and Nail.

NEW YORK, June 25.-The committee
appointed by the wholesale liquor deal
ers' association to confer with Presi-
dent Greenhut and others of the distill-
ers' and cattle feeders association re-
garding the differences existing between
them, reported this afternoon to the
meeting specially called for that pur-
pose. These demands were made Of
the whisky trust officials: That the re-
bate condition of five cents gallon be
rescinded; that the price of spirits be
dependent on the price Of corn as rated
in the board of trade of Chicago; that
the agents of the trust be instructed
to sell to wholesale liquor dealers
only. The committee reported
that the trust declined to
rescind the rebate, and made a quasi
promise about the price of spirits con-
dltioned upon contracts for certain
specified periods, which they refused,
however, to put in writing. In regard
to the third demand, President Green
hut Informed the committee that in
structiOns to the agents to sell only to
wholesale dealers had already been
issued. After hearing the report Mr..
Mack moved that the wholesale dealers
proceed Immediately to build diStilleries
on the cooperative plan and to raise
subscriptions for that purpose. The
motion was carried. A committee W i'll
be appointed to solicit subscriptions.

down from Minneapolis by Deputy
Marshal Daggett they were turned over
to Commissioner McCafferty, and he
placed them in turn in the hands of
police officer. The next day they were,
it IS true, delivered over to Deputy
Marshal Daggett by the United
States commissioner with the
instructions that they should
he carefully preserved, despite any
processes that might possibly be served
upon him for their delivery to Mime
apols parties. At this time the court
commissioner also instructed the deputy
marshal that it was Mr.. Hays right to
inspect the documents at his pleasure.
Mr.. Hay made demand for the stuff,
and it was turned over to him and is
still in his individual possession.
Therefore, Marshal DOnahower be-
lieves that it would be imposing an un-
justifable hardship to hold him respon-
sible for its retention intact. he has
no access to them, whatever, and he
only has the inferential assurance that
they are still in their original condition
and that none of the papers have been
abstracted from the gunny sacks He
has keen appreciation of the predica-
ment, but his hands are effectively tied.
HeiS absolutely powerless to do sother
than he has done. 1t would be the per-
sonification of presumption, he AYERS,
for him to demand of the United
States district attorney the return
of the sacks of papers, and therefore ne
can only wait for developments. Should
he make the demand he would be told
that the district attorney purposed
keeping the documents until the hear
ing shall occur.
"But what l really cannot under
stand" said the United States marshal,
lis why M. ID. Mum and D. w. Law
ler should not have been given access
to these papers for inspection. 1t is
conceded, l understand, on every hand
that these gentlemen are associated In
the prosecution, and they surely should
see the papers"
1t is understood, however, that Mr..
Lawler has already Inspected the docu-
ments and made schedule of them, to-
gether with Detective Mason, and that
they know the contents of those sacks
so minutely that nothing can be ao-
Stracted without detection by them
when the stuff is brought into court.
$50 long as the United States district
attorney has taken entire possession OF
the papers," said eX-Marshal Camp
bell, ''it would be palpable injustice
to hold Marshal DanahOwer RESPONSE
bic for their custody"
And this is the consensus OF opinion
among the attorneys.

The Prohibition convention took some
time to get down to business, but when
it finally came to the point, the work
of nominating a ticket, raising funds
for the campaign and adopting plat
form was transacted with neatness
and dispatch that might very profitably
be emulated by the conventions of
other parties in their coming meetings
in this city.
1t is new departure for there to be a
contest for the honor of leading the
Prohibition party to their biennial de-
feat in this state, but this was the feat
ure of the yesterday afternoon session
of the PrOhibitlonists. No less than
three gentlemen-Messrs Pinkham, of
Minneapolis; Earl, of Fergus Falls,
and Barrett, of Browns Val
ley-were placed in nomination;
and it required two ballots and a tele-
gram from Mr.. Earl declining the honor
before a candidate was named. Ramsey
and Hennepin were, of course. ranged
on opposite sides in the contest, the
former backing Mayor Earl and the
latter Mr.. Pinkham. The contest was
good-natured. however, ana the ticket
nominated is an exceedingly strong one
for Prohibition convention to select.
1t is really ticket that will mark a
distinct epoch in the history of the
party.
The platform contains the usual
planks in regard to the liquor question,
but it goes much farther, and, besides
taking definite stand OH state ques-
tions, strongly condemns the Mckinley
tariff bill, now pending in congress.
There was strong low tariff sentiment
in the convention, and, if the senti-
ment of the delegates to this conyen-
ton he the gauge, there is strong anti
protection feeling throughout the state
which bodies i'll to the congressman from
this state who voted for the Mckinley
bill.

Supervisor Smith Throws the
Gauntlet to Minneapolis.
"The Minneapolis people represent
that they have had detectives watching
my compilation" said Supervisor Smith
to GLOBE reporter Yesterday. "That
is very likely true. 1t would have been
an easy matter" he continued. "There
has been no attempt a secrecy in my
office. Any one could see our system of
enumeration and compilation. In fact,
many have inspected it, and | have
never heard complaint that there were
too many names listed. Complaints, on
the other hand, have been numerous
that actual residents have been omitted.
If there is any honest suppOsition
that fraud has been committed
in this city, 1 trust Minneapolis will
make charges. l do not want to report
a single name not entitled to enumera-
ton in our lists. Our work is about
completed, and / am sending in the re-
ports to Washington as fast as l can
get them ready, and any one who has
knowledge of name wrongfully listed
will confer favor by reporting it. Of
course, | cannot exhibit the sheets for
inspection, because it would be viola
ton of the law. The only Instructions
that have been given to the st. Paul
enumerators are those that emanated
from the census bureau at Washington"
Mr.. Smith explained that it will be
very easy matter for the government to
verify the Minneapolis returns. They
are made out by streets. numbering
along consecutively, house after house.
An inspector can take street as re-
turned, go along certain street to the
numbers indicated, and ascertain
whether or not the parties named on
the sheet live III such houses. BY that
means all fraud will be detected. Ii
the people who actually live in the
houses deny that they are the people
who have beelI reported to live in such
houses, it is prima facie evidence of
fraud. Mr.. Smith has letters from
nearly every section of the state COM
planning that the Minneapolis enumer-
ators have listed people who really
live long way outside the corporation
limits of Minneapolis.
II am perfectly willing that my re-
turns shall be searchingly inspected.
said Mr.. Smith. 1.-The only errors will
be found in omissions such as the
method prescribed by the law makes
unavoidable"
Mr.. Smith is of the opinion that re-
count in Minneapolis will be ordered by
the government and that it will be con-

Steenerson Believes ST. Paul Men

Hon. Halver Steenerson, of Crooks
ton, was at the Merchants yesterday.
Mr.. Steenerson has involuntarily been
connected with the census imbroglio be-
cause of his connection with the Barney
Wahl case before Commissioner Ives, OF
Crookston. Mr.. Steenerson does not
think there is any precedentin the Wahl
case for the claimed change of venue in
the present cases from Commissioner
McCafferty, because the conditions. are
not analogous.
1T looks to me as though there is a
pretty good case against the Minneap-
oils enumerators, said he to a GLOBE
reporter.
what do you think of Mr.. Hays atti-
tude as prosecuting officer?" asked the
reporter.
'.It would be iDdelicate for ME to ex-
press my views" he rejoined. You
know was rival candidate for that
position, and it would not do for me to
voice my opinion. l notice that the

The Minneapolis Tribune Contin-

The Minneapolis Tribune. in defiance
of the actual returns made, is daily pub
fishing card, promiscuously distrib-
uted through its columns. declaring that
Minneapolis cast $4,000 votes at the last
presidential election. The records at
the state capitol show that the city of
Minneapolis cast 1896 votes at the last
presidential election. In this connec-
ton it may be OF interest to relate that
the canvass conducted by the Demo
cratic city committee the past spring
shows that there were upwards of 10000
bona fide voters in st. Paul. and this
canvass was not complete There were
certain sections in the city that were not
reached. To disinterested party this
pseudo-pedantic display made by the
Tribune appears foolish. The records
show the actuol vote which Minneapolis
cast, and it is extreme rashness to add
5000 votes to the total.
