Flank Movement ON Jack Frost.

WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-As an outgrowth
of the scheme for artificial rain produc-
ton artificial frost prevention is now
suggested. L. G. kniffen, of Chicago, has
written a letter to Secretary Rusk on the
subject. His theory is that clouds or ar
tificial mists prevent the radiation of
heat from the earth. He suggests that
the machinery and materials used by Col
Dyrenfurth in causing rain be tested as a
means for bringing the clouds closer to
the earth and of creating sort of fog
which will be a preventative against the

CINCINNATI, March 2S.-The baseball

Cincinnati baseball club. They also de-
posted money subject to the order of
their Secretary and Treasurer. Z. Young,
to be paid to A. L.. Johnson upon his com
pliance with the requirements of the con-
tract. As to the restraining order issued
by Judge Bates this afternoon, the dele.
gates say it will only have the effect of
preventing Young paying johnson in
full. Furthermore, they say that mas
much, under advice of their legal coun.
sci, the league has decided to guard the
Prince and Wagner interest to the full
extent Of their investments. Their attOr.

\ Famous Trial Probable.

FARGO, N. d., March 2S.-From GER
tain facts which have come to light within
a day or so it seems possible that the
trial of Joseph Remington for the muir
der of J. 7. Flett at Arthur, may be-
come enc of the most famous trials in the
United States. As the case at present
stands it seems almost a fOregone conclu-
sion that il will be impossible to convince
any jury of his innocence on the ground
OF insanity or any common plea. Hence
II Is almost a settled fact that the defense
will be On the same lire as that In the
trial Of Gabrielle BOmpard at Paris last
year, wherein il was claimed and SO
clearly proven a case of hypnotism that
her accomplish was sentenced to hang,
while she received a term Of imprison
ment. The theory in the Remington case
it is understood will be that while he
was hypnotized by a Minneapolis woman
whose name has been so frequently men
toned since the arrest he murdered
Agent Flett. Competent authorities who
have visited Remington with this theory
in view are said to be of the opinion that
he is so constituted AS to be easily liable
10 mesmeric influence. Should this line
of defense be adopted it will probably be
quite interesting TO lawyers, as II will be
the first one Of the kind in the United
States.

Says the Minneapolis Tribune: "Just

Northern to the Pacific coast is no longer
y matter Of doubt, or; ut least, a consider
able portion OF the distance is officially
announced and the remainder, from
Spokane westward, is practically decided
upon. 1t turns out that during Col.

boine was filed at the Washington state
land office. The document shows the
route as leaving the main line at a point
between Havre and Assinaboine, extend
ing westerly through the kootenai
country to a point on the east fork of the
Little Spokane river near its source, up
that stream on the north bank on unsur-
veyed land for 20 miles and crossing to
the west fork of the Little Spokane some
25 miles north of Spokane Falls.
The balance of the line has has not been
entirely surveyed, but the route is an
nounced Us follows: From the Spokane
terminus the tracks will run across the
Indian reservation, along the Columbia
river to the Salmon river mining district,
in a slightly northwestern direction, and
from that section almost due west coast

outlet through the coast range, though

consideration and may he the n Sc

with the Westminster branch, and while

is definitely decided and 1t is probable
no change will be made in the extension

The Pacific Short Lines Management In
doubtediy by the Great Northern.
Traffic Manager Mahoney of the Sioux
City IL Northern is regarded as one of
the most genial railroad men in the west,
and is always ready to give the inter
viewer the benefit of whatever news that
can be offered TO the public, when pub
licIty is not likely to |injure a deals con-
! summation. The Sioux City official ar
rived in st. Paul the other day and in a
| short time was holding "A conference with
freight managers Of the Great Northern,
as the latter road is known TO be in a
close arrangement with the line repre-
sented by Mr.. Mahoney. During the alb
sence of President j. }. Hill in Europe a
report gained circulation that the Great
Northern magnate had secured, or was
about to secure, absolute control Of the
Pacific short line, but this report was
strenuously denied by the local officials of
the road and all knowledge of the deal
disclaimed. Later, and despite protests
to the contrary, another story came out to
the effect that the Pacific short line was
being managed Dy the traffic manager of
the Sioux City g. Northern, and the com
bination with Great Northern lines was
only a matter of time.
That portion of the matter is now CON
irmed. The road has been built for 1913
miles, extending from Sioux City to
O'Neil, but the completion was deferred,
owing to tightness in the money market
and the difficulties encountered for that
reason in floating bonds. Mr.. Mahoney
said yesterday that undoubtedly the line
would be put through to Ogden, the OBJ
~jective point, at no distant day by the
Sioux City capitalists who originated the
plan, and arrangements perfected with
the Great Northern on "A close tralic
basis.
This announcement is tatamount to an
admission that the Pacific short line will
become a distinctive branch of the Great
Northern, and that its stock will be con
trolled by that system. MIR. Mahoney
says the country traversed is not SO
thickly settled as yet, but the completion
of the line aud rood traffic arrangements
will make it avery important road in its
Saption

An Important Bill.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, March 2S,-One of
the most important bills introduced in
ths present session of the general assem-
bly, was before the house today,it already
having passed the senate. 1t involves
25S, 900 acres of sO-called swamp land,
part of which includes the territory upon
which Brinkley, Forrest City. Corning
and other towns are located, and if it be-
comes u law it will involve the Iron
Mountain and Little Rock Il Memphis
railroads in costly litigation. The object
of the bill is to protect purchasers OF
these lands, which were patented by the
United States government to these rail
roads, but which the supreme court OF
this state recently decided to be the prop
erty of the state under the swamp land
acts of congress of September %, 1850,
and of March 3, 1857. These lands have
bsen sold by railroads to private indl-
viduals at from *3 to $40 an acre.
The bill proposes that all persons who
have purchased land of this character
from a railroad can obtain a clear title to
1t on payment to the state Il 1219 cents
per acre. Those who perfect their titles
by payment of 1919 cents per acre will be
entitled to recover the amounts paid to
railroad companies, which aggregate
nearly 81, 0OO, 900.
