THE next republican nominee for presi- dent will be Harrison-or Blaine. The situation is very much as it was four years ago; if Blaine Is Gin it'' there is no room for any one else. There is no doubt that Blaine's physical condition is equal to the strain of presidential term, that it will be no increase to the weight of public duty that he has been carrying. The only doubt has been could he bear the strain of a canvass? Friends have come forward to assure him that if he will permit his name to head the ticket no further responsibility will be his until elected. He may be a mere spectator, not even under requirement. to keep a "barrer' on tap.
 If not Blaine, then Harrison. This is as settled as anything in politics can be so far in advance. The republican party is solid for Harrison, with Blaine out of the way. In fact, Harrison could sharp ly contest the field with Blaine if there were contest, but there is likely to be none. Blaine or Harrison it is likely to be on the first ballot, without contest.
 While things are seeming to be so clearly foreshadowed in the republican convention, certainty is giving place to uncertainty as to democratic action. The nomination of Cleveland or of Hill is not near so likely as it once seemed. German of Maryland or Whitney of New York are now considered to have 8 show of getting the nomination. There will certainly be contest for the prize, and no man is likely to have the required two-thirds at the outset, as things now look.

Ownership OF Valuable Land Set
tied by Judge Nelson.
The June term of the United States
circuit and district courts opened yes
terday. District Judge r. r. Nelson
opened both courts. Judge Nelson, in
the morning sitting in the United States
circuit court, rendered decision in the
noted contest over lots on st. Anthony
hill valued at about Sl,000,000. The
plaintiffs are A. K. Barnum and about
$50 others, and the defendants are the
Dunn heirs. The lots include forty
acres OF ground in Robertson & Van
Elten's, Warren 81 Rice and Chambers
additions. In 1850 Peter Poncin entered
the land and conveyed it to Antoine
Pepin, and he, IN turn, to Lafayette
French. 1t then went to Louis C.. and
Charles d. Elicit by quitclaim deed from
French. The entry of Peter Poncin was
vacated on the grounds that the prop
erty was school lands. By act of con-
greSS the land was afterwards vested in
POncin. After the act of congress,
French, who had given the quitclalm to
the ELECTS, conveyed the land by war
ranty deed to Furber, who in turn con-
yeyed to the Dunns. BY the decision of
Judge Nelson the title to the land is
quoted in the ELECTS, and consequently
those deriving title through them and
the subsequent warranty deed by
French to Furber, after giving the quit
claim deed to the ELECTS is declared void,
as the DunnS had notice OF the prior
conveyance by French. This is de-
cislOn of an important question in favor
of the numeaous plaintiffs. in that the
lots are valuable and we'll improved.

A Very Serious Question for a
Jury to Decide.
Israel Dayy, indicted for forging the
name of the Drake company, is on trial
before Judge Egan and jury relative
to his soundness of mind or his ability
to make rational defense to the indict
ments at the present time. Judge Elan
drau and w. F. Carroll appear for Dayy.
There were a goodly number of ladies
and other friends of Davy in attendance
upon court during the afternoon. The
burden of the proof being on Davy to,
show his incapacity, mentally, to stand
trial, evidence on this behalf was first
introduced. DIR. Shimonek testified
to the effect that Davy has incipient
paresis, and is controlled by NOR
bid impulse. DR.. Charles II. Board
mans testimony conceded with this.
He examined Davy in Jail last Friday,
and found physical indications of insan-
ity, such as dilation of the pupils of the
eye, heSitancy in speech, and heart af
lection. conclusions are that there
are ample suspicious of incipient paresis
orinsanity. DIR. Riggs was on the stand
at the time court adjourned. and his
testimony is to the effect that there eX-
lists mental arrangement.

denied that he had ever sold that wheat
for the grades at which he had pur-
chased it. Thus he lost money, but this
had nothing to do with his loss on grades.
1t would be useless, he said, to bring
his books down, as the committee could
not make them out. He had never been
able to make them balance, and he was
sure no one else could. When it came
to the question of making money, the
witness said the wheat business was
like gambling. The first year he was
in business he made enough to pay for
his house. The second year he was out
81, 300; the third year he was out his
time and the-fourth year he made up his
losses, so he was now about even.
The testimony Of the witness was en-
tirely valueless to the state, and on par
with much of the gush about shortages,
etc. that has been placed on record.
The experts who have been going
over the books of the elevator COM
panies at Dulnth submitted their report
to the committee in the afternoon, and
MeSsrs. Wilt and Dickey were placed
On the stand. The report shows that
279,095 bushels of wheat were shipped
of which there is no record so far as
they were able to ascertain.
Before the report was taken up EX-
pert McClaren's bill was presented. 1t
called for pay for 20 $40 days at S. per
day and tor eighty-four extra hours at
81 per hour, making the entire bill
S233.50. 1t was understood by the mem
bers of the committee that the experts
were to work as many hours as possible
at so cents per hour, and the bill was
referred back to him for explanation.
Mr.. Willis and Mr.. Dickey's bills were
made ont in the same way. with the ad-
dition of SLIGO added for railroad fare.
Their bills were each S312.
Mr.. Sevatson thought so cents an hour
clear through ought to be enough. Mr..
Smith moved to amend to 70 cents, but
there was no second. The 80 cents
straight motion carried.
The experts were ready to submit
tabulated statement of their work at
Duluth during the afternoon. While
the bills were being handed in, Witness
Scott put in one for S175 for detective
work. The committee refused to allow
it. Mr.. Severance says that the de-
Tense will be able to explain the short
age recorded. OF the $4,000 bushels
of wheat unaccounted for 100000
bushels were the burnt wheat shipped
without inspection, and as already ex-
planned duriug the investigation. by
permission of the state grain and ware
house commissioners. The remaining
$4,000 bushels would be accounted for
or almost entirely by clerical mistakes
in the records.

William Lotion Charged With a
Serious Crime.

William Lotion, thirty years old, a

year-old girl, Garland Andrews, grand
daughter of Mrs. George Mink, of
the Hotel DE Mink, 800 st. Peter street.
between Third and Fourth. The police
refused to give any particulars OF the
case, but it was learned by inquiry that
Mrs. Mink and her daughter, Mrs.
Andrews, the mother of the child, went
to Chief Clark yesterday afternoon and
SWore out a warrant for the
arrest of Lotion. He boards at
the house of Mrs. Mink and,
it is claimed, two weeks ago he
took the child into his room and COM
mitted the alleged assault. Lotion was
arrested at the barber shop where he
worked, in the German-American Bank
building. He denied the charge, de-
claring it was all spite work owing to
his having had a quarrel with Mrs.
Mink and her daughter. Lotion is a
good-looking fellow, dresses very ex-
travagantly, and bears good character
among the business men upon whom he
attends in the barber shop. He will be
brought up in the municipal court this
morning,

RELIGION BREWING.
Directors Satisfied With the Spir-
itual Signs at Red Rock.


Yesterday was Just such day as the
campers loLged for. Red Rock was in
all its beauty. The warmth of the sun
was modified by the soft breeze that was
constantly blowing across the grounds.
1t is not surprise, therefore, that there
was the largest attendance yesterday of
any week day this season. The eXer-
ciSeS. too, were vigorous, and the morn
ing PRAYER meeting is said to have been
one of the most successful ever held at
Red Rock. Ate O'Clock Mrs. Amanda
Smith delivered powerful sermon that
carried the audience. She showed how
able all eXhOrter she really is. Dr.
Brassee followed with an address COM
pairing the moral character to mount
ain. God desires to have men
near His throne; He seeks in
them a fellowship through His love.
In the afternoon the prayer meeting
was led by Mrs. Smith, VINO, with DR..
Brassee, will also takepart in this morn
ing's exercises. DR.. L. II. Craig, of
this city, had charge of the evening
service.
Nearly all the cottages are now occu-
pied, and the grounds are thickly coy
cred with the tents of the campers.
Quite a great deal of religious enthuSi-
aSm has been brought out by TIE eXer-z
cises. and the directors are more than
pleased with this season. Should the
line weather continue, they expect to see
at least 5000 persons on the ground
next Sunday. Mrs. Smith will leave i'll
a few days, and there has been some
talk of having day for the colored
people before she goes. There was
good sprinkling of ministers among the
campers yesterday. On the grounds
were

develop yesterday. 1t was rumored on
Saturday that the Duluth experts were
going to make demand for their money
the first thing yesterday, but they did
not. They presented their bills at the
afternoon session, however, but there
was no sensational result. Nothing
was heard from Mr.. Erwin's threatened
bill for services rendered the state, and
it seems as though the promised finan-
