JUMP ON wAsHBURN's BILL.
The Measure DistastefuI to the
Duluth Board of Trade.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Jan. 2S.-The directors of
the Duluth board of tr.rIe adopted the
following reso luton today:
That the abo ition of dealing in futures of
farm products SOuld result in narrow mar
kets, confined to few traders. AS rule,
board and general markets, while narrowing
level OF price OF ali products. Producers are
compelled to seek purchasers. Any
cause, tending to lessen the number
of buyers will have tendency
to consolidate them and result in lower
range of prices. allowing the buyers wider
margin of profits especially where they must
provide for possible deliveries, which cannot
be guarded against by sales of futures. As a
the cash product, and these purchasers con-
stitute the main support Of the market at all
times. The prosperity of members of all
commercial bodies. and Of the whole
of the producer, and we believe
the abolition of dealing in futures would re-
suit in immense injury to all commercial in
terests and a financial panic, while trade
the entire purchasing interests would be
placed i'll the power of comparatively few
miliers. who would fix prices to allow them
a sure margin-no matter how great decline
might occur. We also believe the deal
ing in futures would only be trans
ferred from the United States to for
eign countries. The countries, being con-
sumers, are naturally interested in lower
prices. AS the price of futures sets value
on cash products, the foreigners would fix a
much lower range of prices for all farm prod
ucts.
Basing our requests upon the foregoing
reasons we respectfully ask the United States
senate aud house of representatives to defeat
any bin having in view the suppression of
dealing in futures OF farm products.
The secretary OF the board is hereby re-

TRADE LEGISLATION.
Important Subjects Discussed at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The national
board of trade today devoted some time
to the discussion OF the question of a
uniform bill of lading. A resolu-
ton was finally adopted requesting
congress to amend the interstate COM
merce law by establishing uniform
bill of lading for interstate commerce,
involving the liability of carriers as es-
tablished by common and statutory law.
The next matter taken up was a res
olution approved by the board of trade
of Chicago, which, while recogniz-
ing the justice of the charge
imposed by the railroad companies for
the use of their cars when not promptly
unloaded, says that it is also due to the
customers that when the goods are not
promptly delivered that the railroad
should be responsible to their

CHILIANS ARE ANXIOUS
To Know if Pereira's Propositions
Are Acceptable.

SANTIAGO, Chilli, Jan. %, via Calves
ton.-There is q much quieter feeling
here than was evident yesterday and
during the past few days. The Gillian
officials, however, continue to express
surprise at the ultimatum forwarded
from President Harrison.
The Associated press correspondent
in this city today had an interview with
one OF the most prominent officials of
the Gillian foreign office. The CORE
Spondent was courteOusly met, and the
conversation was free and cordial.
In the course of the interview it was
shown very plainly that the foreign
office would not say in a direct manner
that Minister Montt had been deceived
or had been miSled by any note or word
received by him from the American
secretary of state: but it was evil
dent that the official thought So.
Re said that Mr.. Blaine had all
along given Monnt to understand that a
settlement Of the serious controversy
between the two republics was being re-
duced. and that Mr. Blame month ago
had proposed submission to arbitra-
ton of the outrageous assault upon
the men from the United States
steamer Baltimore, and had
also agreed to accept Senior
Months terms for the withdrawal of the
Malta telegram. 1t is asserted here that
Minister Egan informed the CHILEAN
government week ago that the uues-
tons at issue were being settled. Mr..
Egan has declared that he said nothing
of the kind.
On the night of the reception of the
ultimatum from the president of the
United States, cablegram was re-
ceived here from Minister Montt al
ylsing the Gillian government to stand
firm, as all Twas favorable in Washington.
There is intense anxiety here as to the
outcome of the situation. Everyone,
from the highest in official station to
the most humble citizen, wishes to
know if America accepts the terms OF
Chili's reply to President Harrison's
ultimatum.

CRUEL PERSECUTION.
The Warden Family Pestered by
a ScOundreI


ScoundreI.
HANOVER, n. H., Jan. 2S.-The ia
nous Warden barns at the home of
Frank Almy's victim have been
thoroughly searched this after
noon by about forty college stu
dents under the direction of Prof.
c. Ii. Pettee, with some expectation
of finding a man believed by the War
denS TO be lurking Whereabouts with In
tent to do them harm. The family has
received several anonymous letters de-
claring the intention of the man to take
the lives of members of the family; I'M
accountable noises at night have been
heard around the barn; cows have been
MIXED and strange tracks have been
seen in the snow around the buildings.
These facts led to the belief in an
intruder, and this belief was strength
ened about two weeks ago when n
strange man was discovered in dark
paSsageway of the barn. He dashed
quickly out of doors, and next morning
his tracks were followed some distance,
but were lost in the highway. That
there was some one there that night
there could be no doubt. Opinions diff
fer as to whether it was tramp or an
old pal of Almy's who was waiting fa-
vOrable opportunity to carry out the
threats made in the letters. In the hunt
that was made today every possible
hiding place was gone into, and sharply
pointed iron rods fifteen or twenty feet
long were repeatedly thurst into the
big hay mowS, but nothing was found.

The father of Lille also remained in

her counsel. On other subjects shei
seemed to be perfectly rational, and did
not realize the enormity of the deed.
u killed Freda." said she, "because
l loved her and she refused to marry
me. l asked her to marry me three
times, and at last she consented. We
were going to marry when we got to st.
Louis"
"What did you intend to do in S.
Louise" asked one of her attorneys.
'Oh, don't know. But when Freda
promised to marry me l was so happy. I
sent her
An Engagement Ring
and she wore it time, but when it was
returned to me l was miserable. l
could not bear to be separated from her
and l resolved to kill her. l would
rather she were dead than away from
me-"
The girl then asked one of the law
yers where Freda was. She was told
that the body was at the undertaker's.
''Oh, mamma" she said, "if | could
only see Der. Please let me go to see
her. If l could only lie down by her
side [ would be so happy"
When the permission was refused
she broke into Il torrent of tears, not for
having killed Freda, but for the separa-
ton.
The letters that she wrote to Freda
are full of the most endearing terms,
and go to show that the girl eagerly
looked forward to the time when she
could make Freda her WIFE Strange 10
say, from what can be learned,
Freda herself seemed TO be infat-
uated with Alice, and willingly
assented to the proposed marriage.
The time had been fixed and the affair
was in the nature of an elopement.
Miss Mitchell doesn't feel the confine-
ment in jail, but regards it as school
girl would a slight punishment. On
other subjects she talks nationally, as
She does on the killing, but for the
peculiar views she entertains of the
proposed marriage. The grand jury will
investigate the case tomorrow,

of the highly eulOgiStic joint resolution
of the two houses of the Mississippi legis-
lature inviting Mr.. Waterson to address
the legislature in the representatives

Mr.. Watterron at the hotel and con
Quoted HIM to the capitol, where lie was
received with great enthusiasm by the
legislature and many citizens.
In his remarks Mr.. Watterson said
that the Democratic party in congress is
practically united upon the issue of
tariff reform, and that would undoubt-
edly be the keynote to the
present situation of congress and
the leading issue of The coming
presidential campaign. He expressed
no preferences as between individual
Democrats, but declared that whatever
ticket the coming national Democratic
convention dominates will receive his
hearty support. Mr.. Watterson lectured
tonight before large and brilliant
audience.
Gov. Stone has received a telegram
from Hon. Grover Cleveland dated New
Iberia. La, Jan. %, in response to his
telegram of Jan. q. conveying the in

SAUK RAPIDS, Mimi, Jan. 2S.-Your
correspondent interviewed r. j. Bell,
president of the North Star Association
of Clubs, in this village. in regard to
the Kallstead article which appeared in
the GLOBE on the 23d, regarding the
working of that party in the interests
of ID. Is. Hill, and he informed him that
he was in close intimacy with leading
members of that association, and he had
as yet heard no talk in that regard. He
stated that he was Cleveland man, and
that so was the gentleman from Owa-
tonna; that the objects and principles
of the association have been set down
in the circulars issued tosthe Democ-
racy of the state, and should receive
some weight in the mind of Kallstead,
as against the opinion of his
informant, whom he claims is
an active and leading politician.
He says the North Star association does
not believe in bosSlsm, and that who
ever is nominated on the Democratic
ticket can expect the support of that as
ISOLATION, though it must be conceded.
he says. that Hill is growing factor
and possible presidential nominee by
the party, and the Democratic party of
this country must be prepared to ac-
cept the nominee, whoever he may be,
with the best possible grace.

hey link the COlIIan Govern
ment Without Backbone.
New YORK, Jan. 2S.-The Herald's
Santiago correspondent says there is
intense excitement in that city and
much anxiety is felt as to the
reply of the United States 10 the
note sent by Minister of Foreign Affairs
Pereira in reply to the ultimatum.
Nothing else has been discussed in the
clubs or on the streets for the past
twenty-four hours. The supporters of
the Balmacedfst government are crow
ing over the manner in which this mat
ter has been conducted by the present
government, and are doing all they can
to intiame the people.
In Valparaiso the matter is being dis
cusSed i'll a calmer manner, merchants
and bankers there generally believing
that peaceful settlement of the pend
ing difficulty will be reached. Intense
excitement prevails over the entire
country, and kilograms from Iquique
and from the North and South province
are arriving asking if the difficulty has
been settled.
In Santiago and Valparaiso the pa
perS print the widest stories relative
to the ultimatum, La Union being es-
peclally bitter, calling upon the people
to stand together and uphold the honor
OF the country. La Union says in re-
gard to the story current that the
United States would require a sa-
lutte of the stars and stripes:
''Our noble sailors would prefer sinking
to the bottom of the sea rather than to
salute the Yankee flag" 1t is regarded
as strange that the exact terms of Chili's
reply are not generally known, and it is
thought that the papers are keeping
them back. La Union prints letter
from an Englishman advising the sever
ance of all diplomatic and consular
relations with the United States.
A majority of the intelligent people.
however, will look upon the withdrawal
of the demand of the government for
the recall of Minister Egan and in re-
gard to an apology with favor.
Judge Foster promises that he will
finish the cases by Friday. There is
talk of trouble having arisen between
Chilli and Argentina on the question of
delimination. the CHILEAN commission
ers saying that Argentina wants ports
on the Pacific side of the Patagonian
territory, which Chill is unwilling to
grant.
