OPPOSED TO WAR TARIFFS.
Minnesota Tariff RefOrmers Or
ganizing a First District

WINONA, March 22.-By special invi-
tation from the tariff reform club of this
city large delegation of prominent
politicians and tariff reformers of the
First district met here this afternoon
for the purpose of organizing to make
the work of the league efficient through
out the district. 1t was decided to move
toward the organization OF a tariff re-
form club in each county of the dis
trict, each club to be branch of the
Central Tariff Reform League of the
First Congressional District of Mlnne-
sofa. The constitution adopted says:
We are uncompromislngy opposed to the
so-called protective system, a system which,
having started as temporary AID TO infant
industries. now assumes the right to be per
petuai and evergrowing burden upon the
people. We believe that tits time for our gov
ernment to foster and protect the rights and
interests of the consumers, and especially of
the workingmen and farmers. We believe
in free wool, iron, salt, lumber and all raw
materials that enter into manufactures as be-
ing in the interest of the manufacturer and
the consumer alike. &AH
The following were elected officers of
the Central league: President. A. Ii.
Snow; secretary. J. w. Booth; treas
urer. III. l.. Buck, all of Winona. The
executive committee will be composed
of these officers, together with L.. L..
Brown, of Winona: J. f. McGOvern, of
Wabasha: E. j. COnDel, of OwatOnna,
and Il. r. Wells, of Preston. One of
the principal features of the work of the
league will be the distribution of tariff
reform literature

Competitors Of the Mi ssouri Pa
cific DenOunce Its Policy.
CHICAGO, March 22.-Dlspatches from
Kansas City last night stated that the
Missouri Pacific officials justified their
sweeping cut of passenger rates to Col
orado points by asserting that the Rock
Island railroad had been making prac-
tically the same rate secretly. General
Passenger Agent Sebastian, of the Rock
Island, denies the truth of this state
ment. In an interview to-day he said.
"The cut is not on account of any action
of the Rock Island road, but is mali
cious cut-throat warfare inaugurated by
the Missouri Pacific for other purposes.
1 challenge 81. G. Townsend, the gem
eral passenger agent of the Missouri
Pacific Railway company, to appear be-
fore any body of disinterested railroad
men and prove that he is justified in
m aking this cut on account of any ac-
tion OF the Rock Island road" Mr.. Sc
bastian further said that the general
passenger agents and the traffic man
ayers of the lines between Missouri
river points and Colorado will meet on
Monday to discuss the adviSabiity of a
general boycott against the Missouri
Pacific. Should such action be deter
mined upon its effect would be to shut
off from the Missouri Pacific very con-
siderable amount of business. Mr.. Sc
bastian asserts that he has evidence
that the Missouri Pacific is selling
Pueblo tickets at 50 from the Missouri
river and allowing an additional day
limit on Denver tickets.

Will Not Retire.
President Tom Lowry, of the 800"
road, has no intention of reSigning his
Office at present, Notwithstanding the
statements published in Chicago papers
to the contrary. Mr.. Lowry said yes
terday that he had never heard that lie
was going to retire from the presidency
of the road, and remarked: "lf there
is any one who can fill the position bet
ter than can | would gladly give up
the place, aud the same of the street
railway company. If | contemplated
such thing | would. of course, inform
the directors before the public" He
also denied that he was contemplating
an extensive trip abroad. The dis
patches sent out said that Mr.. Lowry
would resign the presidency because
his whole time could not be given to it.
and that he was going to Europe in
April TO carry out number of financial
schemes. Mr.. Lowry declares that
these stories, like the one which de-
cIared that Henry Willard was about to

Riotous Russian students.

ST. PETERSBURG, March %. = The
students of the university and the
academy of agriculture engaged in q
serious riot here yesterday. The stu
dents insist upon the restoration of the
liberal regulations of 1868, and the re-
fusal of the authorities to comply with
their demand led to the outbreak. Five
hundred students were arrested and inn
prisoned. Troops guard the streets il
the vicinity of the university. and all
traffic in the neighborhood is stopped.
The newspapers make no mention of

GREAT ANXIETY FELT.
The MonOngahela and Its Tribu-
tarieS Are Rising.

WHEELING, w. Va. March 22.-Much
anxiety is felt in this city on account of
the reports received from the headquar-
ters of the Monongahela river in this
state. Advices have been received by
the InteIligencer to the effect that the
west fork of the MOnongahela is nine
teen feet at Weston and is still rising.
The dispatch says that great damage
has been done above. Reports froW
Piedmont are that the Potomac is BOOM
ing. No reports have been received
from points on Cheat river, but as it
rises in the same mountains that the
Potomac takes source, it is reasonable to
presume that the Cheat will further in
crease the volume of the Monongahela,
which is pouring into the Ohio at Pitts
burg. There Is great anxiety felt by
people tonight living OIL Wheeling
island and residents on the low lands.

Law Through Habeas Corpus.


Law Through Habeas Corpus.
VINCENNEs, Ind, March PA hus-
band suing for the recovery of his wife
was the very rare case that yesterday
came to a novel end in the circuit court.
Owen Palmer swore outa writ OF habeas
corpus for the possession OF Pearl
Palmer, nee Wolfe, aged fifteen years,
alleging that she was unduly restrained
by her mother and brothers. Palmer
and Miss Wolfe elOped from Oakt0Wn
on March 5 and were married at New
berry. Subsequently the mother OF the
cbild-bride had Palmer arrested on
a charge of kidnapping her daughter;
The court, however, acquitted him and
he was released from jail. At the time
of Palmer's arrest his wife was taken
possession of by her mother, who has
Since restrained her of her liberty until
Yesterday. when Judge Shaw, On motion
of Palmer's attorney, dismissed the case
aud allowed the wife to go to her thirty
year-old husband. A wild scene occurred
Just outside the court room as Mr.. and
MEs-Palmer Withdrew. when a brother
of Mrs. Palmerarusfea up to the young
couple and placed his hand In his hip
pocket. Palmer was on his guard and
followed the example. The spectators

SUPREMACY OF THE SWORD.
Brazil's Provisional Government
May Prolong the Dictatorship.

Rio JANEIRo, Feb. 19.-The air here
is alive with rumors. People are saying
now that it is the intention of the pre-
visional government to annul the decree
convoking the constituent assembly and
to prolong the dictatorship for five years.
At dinner given some days ago to the
eX-minister of agriculture, the minister
of war took occasion to allude to this re-
pert. The people of Brazil. he said,
should be more grateful and not insult
the government and the army by
circulating such rumors. Neither in
there any one who desired the baneful
supremacy of the sword. What the
members of the government most
earnestly desired was to return as soon
as possible to private life. Office has
no charms for them, and as to himself,
there is no inducement that would be
sufficient to reconcile him to remaining
permanently in the place he occupied.
The minister has since published card
stating that his speech was not cor
rectly reported, The Journal do Com
mercio, the leading paper In Brazil.
eulogizes the speech IN very warm
terms. and says that it leads to the hope
that the decree of Dec. 90, establishing
a military tribunal for the trial of per-
sons accused of political crime will be
revoked. 10 many reports in
circulation in regard to the bound
ary treaty with the Argentine
Republic, have caused the government
to publish an article on the subject IN
the official paper. This article depre-
Gates discussion of the question at pres
ent as premature. since the terms OF the
fx,t ,nf do
and states that all apprehensions in re-
gard to those terms are groundless,
since the government has full sense
of its responsibility in so important a
question. Besides, the treaty. before
becoming operative, has to be ratified by
the legislative assemblies of the two
countries. If it is not ratified the
boundary question will be settled by
arbitration, the president of the United
States being requested to act as arbi-
tor.

CINCINNATI, March 22.-At II o'clock
tonight the river here registered fifty
feet and five inches, having risen three
inches in the last hour. 1t seems to be
keeping up that rapid rate. For several
hours before 10 O'clock the rate of the
rise at this point was two inches an
hour. River men are quite apprehen-
sve tonight since reports of the condi-
ton of the tributaries on the west slope
of the Alleghenies has been learned.
1t now looks as if we should have a
flood of over sixty feet, but how much
ii is too soon to conjecture. The weather
is slightly cooler, but since dark the
temperature has been stationary at 40
Fahrenheit.

the merchants of the territory tributary

of seasonable weather trade will be very
healthy and good. Collections have

The volume of trade is about the
same as last year. Quite large stocks
have been carried over in North Da-
kota and Northern Minnesota, but the
spring business with us IS as good as it
ever has been. Just now some mer-
chants are little behind on account of
the stocks that have been carried over
because Of the mild winter. Collections
have been pretty good. | don't know
of day that we have had more out
ago, and considering the fact that this
il on larger volume of business, it is
a pretty good showing. The local mer-
chants are themselves collecting closer.
With fair crop business will be good
