date, however, it was reported to the
secretary by numerous persons that the
local authorities were unable or disln-

large crowd had surrounded the office

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Another seri-
Gus complication has arisen in regard
to the enforcement of Chinese exclusion
acts. The new trouble is explained by
telegram received by Attorney Ger
eral Miller to-day from United States
Marshal Prince, at Pembina. n. ID. 1t
was in regard to the case of two China
men who had entered the country tpf
way of Manitoba and whose deport-
alton to that country had been ordered
by Commissioner Caruthers. Marshal
Price says he took the men to the border
line and the customs officers at Elmer
son, Manitoba, refused to allow them in
except Oh payment of the head tax Of
$50 each.
The marshal says he refused to
pay the money, and that the Cinnamon
could not. He thereupon brought them
back and wired the attorney general
that he would hold them in custody
until he received further Instructions.
This new state OF affairs, which pract-
icallY prevents the government from
sending cut of the country any Chinese
who enter from Canada without paying
the head tax required by the law of
that country. embarrasses the authori-
ties very much. The attorney general
said this afternoon that he had not
answered the marshal's telegram for
the simple reason that he did not yet
know how to instruct him to proceed.
1t is believed by many that the only
solution of the tronble is by legislative
enactment.

STATEMENTS RETRACTED.
Justice Done, in the Line of Vim
dication in Court.

dfcatiOn in Court.
On the 9th of September the GLOBE
printed, on one of its Minneapolis pages,
an article headed I'm Flagrante De-
lictu," setting forth that a certain St.
raul man, whose name was not given,
had been caught by Officer Kerr and
Mr.. Curtiss in compromising position
with Mrs. CurtiSS. On the following
Tuesday, Sept. S, again OH the Minneap-
oils page, the GLOBE printed an article
purporting TO give the details of the
trial of Charles L. Sowden, charged
with adultery with Mrs. Curtiss, which
trial resulted in the acquttal of Mr..
Sowden. In the latter article it was
stated that "Otficer Kerr in a straight.
forward and prehensive way, re-
lated the occurrences Of Saturd ay even.
ing, substantially as they were printed
III the GLOBE; stating how he and Cur
tiSS had looked through the window of
the parlor, and had seen SOwden and
Mrs. CurtlsS on the lounge under decid-
edly questionable circumstances, Mrs.
CurtlsS' stockings being plainly visi-
Bile"
Mr.. Sowden was acquitted by the
court, as stated at the time, and is enti-
tied to the full benefit of that acquittal.
The GLOBE makes full and fair re-
traction of all statements contained in
the two articles referred to that could
III amy way be construed to reflect upon
Mr.. Sowden'S moral character. 1t re-
gretS that those statements should have
appeared i'll its columns, and takes
this opportunity of giving the widest
publicity to its belief that the acquittal
OF Mr.. SOwden was Il complete vindica-
ton, and that he was innocent OF the
charges preferred against him.

Uncle SANS Army Paymaster Bal
ances Accounts.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Gen. Villa m
Smith, paymaster-general of the army,
has submitted his annual report to the
secretary of war. The report says the
paymasters during the year were
charged with S16,611.7 54 and the amount
expended by them was SIS, 106, 400. The
report shows decrease in expenditures
of $50, 403. OF the amount expended
during the past year all has been prop
erly applied. The report dwels upon
the great risks run by the paymasters
at frontier posts and of the responsible
ity of disbursements based on accounts,
which have been specially submitted
for approval, and can only be allowed
upon the order OF the secretary of war
Yet, such expenditures, it says. are dis
allowed by the treasury department in
its final settlement and receipt to the
paymaster, whose only offense is obey
ing his superior officer. AS an example,
the extra expenses resulting from court
martials, which have been approved by
the secretary of war and have been dis
allowed by the treasury department, are
cited.

WHY AUSTIN QUIT.

LONDON. Oct. 23.-The abusive COM
munications which led to the resigna-
ange lodges in England, are ascribed to
the unwillingnesS of the late grand mas
ter to turn the Orange society into what
would virtually be military organiza-
ton. 1t is known that in Ireland the
Orange lodges are drilled like military
bodies for the purpose of making armed
resistance to Irish home rule, should it
be established. Austin was not in favor
of extending this system to England,
but advocated maintaining the order as
purely benevolent and beneficiary so

gressive element which is now III CON

LONDON, Oct. GA prominent En-
glish Liberal said this evening that
Davitt's refusal to become candidate
for ParnelPs seat at Cork would be gen.
orally construed as an admission on the
part Of the McCarthytes that it is hope
less to contest the constituency. The
nomination of Mr.. Flavin, a compare
lively unknown man. against John E.
Redmond is looked upon q good deal as
a matter of form. 1t is known that
nothing would please Mr.. Davitt better
than to succeed to Mr.. Parnel's place
as a triumphant rounding of of his long
antagonism to Parnell. But he did not
care to risk defeat.
Mr.. Davitt'S election to the seat of
Sir John Pope Hennessy may possibly
raise question as TO whether he will
be admitted to parliament. No Irish
member to parliament has ever been in
a convict prison. Fol this reason MI.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Oct. 23.-The
Democrats of South Dakota were never
better organized than at present. and
there are many clear beaded men among
them who insist that the prospects of
James NJ. Woods. the Democratic NOM
inee, being elected to represent the
state in congress to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of John r. Gamble
could not be brighter. In this section
Mr.. Woods will certainly run far ahead
of his ticket, because of his being
Black Hills man. The interests OF this
portion of the state and the Black Hills
are identical. and Republicans realize
that the Hills are justly entitled to
congressman. no matter whether he be
a Republican or Democrat. The Re-
publican machine in South Dakota did
not see fit TO nominate q Black Hills
man for congress, and fair-minded men
belonging TO that party admit that they
will vote for the Democratic candidate
simply because he is a Black Hills
man. Citizens here, regardless of
their political beliefs, will vote and
work for Mr.. Woods election, believing
that it is to their best interests to do so.
The citizens of Chamberlain, assisted
by the people Of Pierre and the Black
Hills, worked shoulder to shoulder for
many years in their efforts to have the
Sioux reservation opened to settlement,
and success at last crowned their efforts.
The reservation barriers were removed
and one serious obstacle in the way Of
the joining of the two sections OF the
state disappeared. Now the question
that is agitating the minds of the cIti-
zens of the two sections is in regard to
securing railroad communication be-
tween the two portions of the state. Mr..
Woods was one of the most enthusiastic
workers In behalf of the opening of the
reservation to settlement, and he is also
deeply interested in securing the con-
Struction of a railroad across the reser-
walton from this city to the Black Hills.
1t is TO the interest of this section TO
support HIM for congress, and election
day will prove that he will run ahead of
his ticket In this section of the state as
we'll as in other portions.
