THE FIGURES TUMBLE.
DonneIIy's 100000 Dwind1e to 81 and
So Attorneys Fees.

So Attorneys Fees.
Damages to the amount of 81 and So
attorneys fees was the verdict in favor
of Ignatius Donnelly in his libel suit
against the Pioneer Press brought in
by the jury at Minneapolis on the
9th. The trial has been probably
the most famous in legal annals
in the Northwest, and, owing to
the prominence of the plaintiff and the
matters involved, attracted the greatest
interest. Ignatius Donnelly, the ia
nous author and former member of Con-
gress, leader in the Farmers Alliance,
and prominently mentioned for the
presidential nomination of that party,
sued the Pioneer Press for 500, 900
actual damages on account Of the re-
publication on February Is, 1891, of a
letter from Col. w. S. King, formerly
postmaster of the House OF Represent
atlves, and man OF national repu-
tation, which letter had been first
published in the Pioneer Press eleven
years previously. 1t was on ac-
count of the allegations Of bribery
made in that letter that Mr.. Donnelly
brought the suit The Pioneer Press in
it's defense was at great disadvantage,
as all the events alleged in the letter
happened during and prior to the ses-
sion of Congress closing in 1869, and
with the exceptions of Col. w. S. King
and G. p. Huntington, of the Southern
Pacific Railway, no one was alive who
could assist the Pioneer Press in its plea
of justification. The jury was cut three
hours, and at one stage stood II to l in
favor of the Pioneer Press, but in view
of the fact that one instance of alleged
bribery in Congress could not be proved
owing to the death Of the witness, they
returned the verdict stated, making the
damages purely nominal.

WHY HE CUTOFF HIS WHISPERS
Villains Royal Beard Was Pulled Too
Much by the Children.

Much by the Chiloren.
BERLIN, Oct. 24.-Tbe Kaiser's conclu-
sion to be clean-shaven again, all but
his moustache. is said to be prompted by
the earnest objections of the Empress
to the change in his appearance. He
has also, it is whispered, been much
annoyed by having his whiskers
frequently and painfully pulled
10y the younger members of
the household, on one occasion
to the uncomfortable delight of q
French nurse, who was promptly dis
missed from the imperial service for her
lack of respect in laughing at her i'm
perial masters agony. The Kaiser can
not bear to be made ridiculous even in
his own household. When the news of
the imperial clean shave got around
there was an immediate rush for photo
graphs of the Kaiser in whiskers, and
the supply was speedily exhausted. 1t
Is possible the further manufacture and
sale will be prohibited.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 24.-Advices from
British Columbia are to the effect that
great excitement exists there among the
white laborers over the refusal of the
Dominion government last session to
adopt legislation restricting immigra-
ton of Chinese laborers. Chinese
arrive in hundreds by every steamer
from Hong Kong, and although hun
dreds make their escape across the

considerable number remain in the Pa

riots which otherwise would have &C.

For Sweet Charity.

The revival of bull fighting in the City
Of Mexico on the 18th was in the name
of charity. A committee of ladies, with
Mrs. Diaz, the wife Of the President, at
their head, organized the show for the
benefit of the sufferers from the floods
in Spain. 1t was one Of the greatest
spectacles of the sport ever witnessed
on the North American continent. 1t
is estimated that $1,000 persons were
present. Nine bulls of celebrated breed
were killed. The animals had been
trained for the occasion, and many of
the matadors had narrow escapes. Pres
ident Diaz and party left the ring during
the killing of the eighth bull. The
banderillos that had been stuck into the
bulls were, after the fight, sold by ped
dlers at extravagant prices. This was
one of the greatest fights that Mexico
has seen for years, and the amount re-
ceived for admission fees is supposed to
reach S25. 900.

of high roolers, as we'll as some whose
presence is much less desirable. 1t will

to see that good order prevails. We de-
sire here to warn all toughs that the
doors of the cooler will be opened for
them on less than usual provication,
and if they wish to enjoy themselves
outside of its walls while the sports are
in progress it will be necessary for them
to deport themselves in quiet and or
