THE STATE TRIBUNAL.
A Decision of Interest to Those
Who Endorse Notes.


One of Bob" l.. Kelly's unfortunate
transactions in Minneapolis was con-
cluded in the supreme court yesterday.
Ii was a decision on an appeal taken
up from the Hennepin courts by w. B.
Clark. The action in the court below
was to hold Clark liable on his endorse
meut of certain prOmisSOry notes given
bv Kelly. The defence was a some
what peculiar one. 1t was claimed,
in other words, by Clark that he Endorsed
the notes to the investment company
in the course of renewal of other notes
held by the company, and that the en-
dorSement was made without any con-
sideration through his agency as an
officer OF the company, and that the
notes were not negotiated or sold to the
company, but merely turned over by
him as the beneficial owner thereof
The syllabus is explanatory:
Minneapolis Trust company, as receiver. etc. 3,
respondent against w. b. Clark, appellant.
Order affirmed. NANDERBURGH, D.
Syllabus: At the time of the organ
ization of the W. i. Investment COM
pany, insolvent. of which plaintiff Is re-
ceiver, and the defendant was presi-
dent and manager, the latter had in
dOrsed several notes then outstanding,
and held and owned by Eastern capital
lists, and which had not yet matured.
Upon their maturity they were sent to
the company for collection, and through
defendants agency renewed by the
maker and again Endorsed by him in
dividually, turned over to the investment
company, which had paid the first
notes, and again negotiated by the lat
ter. The notes were dishOnOred and
protested at maturity, and again taken
up by the company. Held that the de-
fendent was properly charged as in
dorser and liable to the plaintiff in this
action. Evidence held insufficient to
show that the company had agreed to
indemnify the defendant from liability
as indorser upon outstanding notes ne
gotiated by him.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL, March 3.-When the
joint assembly met to-day. one republican
and one democrat absent, being unavoida-
bly, detained en- route to the capitol, the

Sc, Oglesby 10, Wulf g. Lindley 2 and
Gresham l. Another ballot was taken with
but slight change, and the joint assembly
then adjourned until tomorrow.
The farmer members we're indignant to-
day at the falliDgof Of the republican vote
for Strester, and notified the steering COM
mittee fatty that a crisis had been reached
which must eliminate in a day or two in
the election Of either Streeter or Palmer.
There was a stormy meeting Of the steering
committee this evening, at which the Farm
ers' Mutual Benevolent Association men
sharply rebuked the republicans for insin-
cerity. and added that unless the full
republican vote is brought into
line for Streeter the Farmers Mutual
Benevolent Association members will
break all negotiations at once As a result
call has been issued for an immediate
meeting Of the republican state central
committee for the purpose of formally in
dorsinR the steering committees action and
swiu ging into line those republicans who
now refuse to vote for Streeter. If they
hold out against the state central committee
1t Is the intention OF the steering committee
to call caucus at once and make a stronger
nominee of the Republican party.

A Member of the Chinese Legation
Declares the Rumor a Fake.
WASHINGTON, March "a rumor has
been current here to the effect that upon
information cabled by the Chinese minis
ter here, the Chinese government had
entered an objection to Senator Blair as
minister TO that country. The Chinese
minister being in Peru, Mr.. Yo, one of
the attaches OF the legation, was to-day
questioned, and, in reply to inquiries. said
that there was absolutely no truth in the
report aud added: "A cablegram was of
course sent, but it was the merest announce
ment that Senator Blair had been nomi-
mated, and that the nomination had been
confirmed. 1t was less than twenty words
in length, and probably not more than ten.
NO CRITICISM MADE.
"No criticism was given and no word has
been received from the Chinese government
in answer to the message Any action
hostile to the appointment would be taken
presumably on information sent from here,
and nothing against Senator Blair
has been sent or is likely to be
sent. We have, Of course, made
Investigations, but all we have found out is
favorable to the appointment rather than
against it. However, l have noticed that
honesty does not always beget popularity,
and suppose that the rumor was started
out Of jealousy or i'll feeling"
"Then the whole thing was a fake, a
SLANG phrase, but expressive"
THAT Is it, exactly. l have been In this
long enough to know what q fake is,
even II do not use the word myself, and
should call the whole story about Senator
Blair a fake"
Secretary Blaine said that, so far as he
knew. there was nothing whatever in the
story that the Chinese government had pro-
tested against the appointment of Senator
Blair as minister to China.

WARE COUNrY's CROPS.

Fruit Probably Damaged and Garden
Crops Also Hurt.
WAYCRoss, GA, March 3.-The fruit
crop in this section is thought to have been
damaged by tina recent cold wave, but to
what extent cannot be definitely stated at
present. 1t is certain, however, that the
most damage was done to the peach and
plum crops. The injury to pears, if any,
Is slight. Some damage was also done to the
gardens, but not to any serious extent. Peas
and cabbage in some instances were en-
tirely killed; in Others the injury is slight.
If there is no more cold the prospect is not
at all disc, uraging for a large fruit and
vegetable crop.
