BAY CITY, Mich. Feb. 3.-Much ex-
cltement prevails here concerning the
report that many fishermen nave drifted
into Lake Huron on ice fields carried
out OF Saginaw bay by south wind this
forenoon. The fishing village is fifteen
miles northeast of this city and five
mileS from land. 1t is estimated that
200 men were engaged in spearing fish,
and the first reports are to the effect
that all were lost. Toward evening sew
eral of the fishermen reached EsseXville,
suburb of this city, and reported that
most of their companions reached the
shore in safety. The best authority OBJ
talnable places the number of caSta-
ways from twenty-five to fifty. Those
acquainted with the situation say that
they will reach the shore before the ice
passes outside of Saginaw bay. In case
they do not, there is no hope of their
being rescued. The story of the disaster
so far as known is that during the
night the wind had driven the ice
out towards the lake, taking with
it all the fishermen who were on the foe
in their shanties, numbering about 200
men. They were distributed all over the
bay for miles. Relatives of the lost men
went to the lighthouse at the mouth
the river, and with marine glasses were
unable to see anything but open water.
Later man proceeded to Oak Grove,
on the bay shore, and from an elevation
looked through marine glasses, but
could get no trace of the ice. A
party of men went out short
time later in boat to point where the
break occurred, and thought they could
see the floating ice four miles north.
Six of the lost men managed to get
ashore twelve miles east OF the river,
having been OIL the eastern portion of
the Ice. Dennis Bennett, who had his
house on the ice. says he thinks about
twenty men got ashore on the east side
of the bay near Big Creek. The others
will escape il the seas, which are run
ming mountains high, do not break up
the ice.
There are grave fears for the men in
the Shanties isolated from the main
village, many of which were strung
along both shores of the bay. 1t is
thought some of these men must have
been lost, and the number is estimates
at from twenty to fifty. Steamers wi
be sent out in search of the men as soon
as the ice in the river can be broken up
enough to let them out.

Against Employment of Prisoners
in Competition With Freemen.
Special to the Globe.
ST. CLOUD, Feb. 3.-The complaints
which have been raised here from time
to time by granite workers against the
employment of state reformatory in
mates in the manufacture of that stone
have at last assumed themselves into
definite form for immediate action. The
different unions of the granite workers
through their representatives in the
local trades and labor assembly have Sc
cured committee, which has had the
matter in charge, and whose report has
been formulated. The committee has
decided to seek redress at the hands of
the legislature, supported by a petition
which is signed by about 500 business
and professional men in st. Cloud, and
every man identified with the granite
industry. The petition, for reasons
which are cited at length, prays the
passage of a bill which has been drafted
entitled
"a bill to prevent the employment of the
inmates of the Minnesota state reformatorv
i'll the manufacture of granite so far as the
sdIne eHteTs lHtO competition WIN artlSan
labor
The bill absolutely prohibits the man
ufacture of granite in the reforma1Ory
when it enters into competition with
free labor. 1t also prevents the sale of
any granite manufactured in the re-
furmatory, and the cutting of granite is
only authorized in cases where the
stone is used in public building or other
public improvements which may be
hereafter built in this state. 1t is fact
realized by the business men as well as
the granite workers that the refOrma-
tory products have had a disastrous eff
feet upon the market, and seriously
effect the granite industry here. The
granite workers have almost the entire
support of the business community in
the matter. AT its meeting last night
the city council adopted resolutions
recommending that legislature action
should be had, or action by the reforma-
tory board taken, looking to the divorsi-
ficatlon of the convict labor of the re-
formatory so that all thereof may not
be employed in cutting granite in COM
petition with free labor employed in
such Industries. The committee having
the matter in hand will leave for st.
Paul tomorrow. 1t consists of William
Aitken, A. Williams and p. Stafford.

Original Canvass.
Recount.

In the opinion of the committee Mr.
Durant was elected by majority of
three. But further than this believe
beyond any question that the eutire
vote of the town of Marine should be
thrown out. The facts in this are that
Mr.. DAILY, the contestee in this case, who
was member of the board of super
visors of the town of Marine, was a
party to the selection of judge to fill
the place made vacant by his ineligi-
bility to serve, because he was a candi-
date for office, as under the law, that
the town supervisors are the judges of
election. The committee believes that
the law should be strictly followed in
selecting the Judges of election, as they
are the ones on whom depends fair re-
ceptiOn of the ballots of the voters
honestly entitled to vote, and fair and
honest count of Ihe same.

The Blue Earth Ex-senator and

The Currer railroad bill was taken
UP by the house committee on railroads.
Ex-senator E. NJ. Pope, of Mankato,
spoke at length in faqor of the bill. He
produced statistics showing the bad eff
fects which discrimination in rates had
upon the growth of the interior of the
state. Further consideration of the
bill was deferred until Friday evening.
Mr.. Bull thought that the action of the
committee on House File No. 43 had
been somewhat hasty. and moved re-
consideration of the bill. Some of the
railroad companies complained that
they had not been afforded an Oppor-
tunity to be represented before the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Deerlng-Yes, and l understand
the coupling proposed is not dur
able one.
Mr.. Roach-We should not rush this
bill at all. 1t is too important.
Mr.. Bjorge opposed. but it was de-
cided to reconsider the bill. and it will
come up for discussion at meeting to
be held Tuesday.

DULUTH, Feb. 3.-There has been
considerabl sboplifting going on of
late in this city by an organized gang
of women. 1t is estimated that several
thousand dollars worth of dress goods
have been stolen from the dry goods
stores. Some of the most prominent
merchants say they have lost. each of
them, over $500 anyway, but how much
more is only matter of conjecture.
The custom has been for women to call
in wearing large capes with big pockets.
Before leaving they manage to fill those
pockets pretty full. The detectives are
very busy working up the matter, but
no arrests have been made, because it is
feared that great deal of the property
will be lost unless the thieves are
handled gingerly.

against the passage of the bill for an act

Slap at the Senate.
There was considerable feeling shown
among members when Mr.. Diment, of
Owatonna, called up a resolution of the
senate, asking that three senators be
added to the special committee of the
house appointed to Investigate the state
prison. Mr.. Diment argued that out of
courtesy to senators the communication
should be at once acted upon. Mr..
Tripp, of Hennepin, did not want the
resolution considered. There was no
need to increase the committee; its
utility would be decreased by an acces-
sion to its membership. Mr.. Dment
Indignantly deprecated the language of
the gentleman from Hennepin. 1t was
an uncalled for aspersion upon the SEN
ate. Mr.. Keyes, of Winona, added his
voice to the debate. He moved that the
senate communication be referred to the

proposition the house agreed to by

you believe, will "assuredly result in
many prosecutions and great hardships"
to certain class of poor and ignorant
wood cutters, if strictly enforced before
a sufficient time shall have been allowed
for these petty offenders and also the
wood purchasers to become informed of
these regulations.
You will find herewith copy of the
regulations issued by the Department
May 5, 1891, under the act of March B.,
1891, repeating the timber culture laws
and for other purposes.
You will observe that the former Act
Of June 3, 1873, aud the rules and regu.
lations hereunder, relative to cutting on

in force. All cases Of cutting for sale in
violation of the provisions of the said Act
of June 3, 1878, or March 3, 1891, com
ing to the knowledge Of this Office, will
be disposed of as they arise with such &C
tion as may be appropriate under these
acts and the rules and regulations there
under.
The said Act of March 3, 1891, take
effect at the date of its approval. 1t i
not in the power of this Department t.
delay execution of law after it take
