them stop and ask the messenger to
open his car, while the third man held
the conductor and brakeman in the

jumped off to see what was the matter.
The messenger was forced to open the
local safe, from which it is claimed only

proper tools to break it and decamped
without molesting the passengers. The
train officials refused to talk on arrival.

THEIR SILLY SCHEME
To Have the Grand jury
Bolster the Police Admin
iStpatiOn.
The Jury Praises the Force,
Then to Show It's Ell
cheney
Brings in Forty Indictments,
Showing the State Of
Crime.
A Police Boomerang Without
Garv1n's Little Rec
ord.

Some DAYS ago a prominent official
connected with the police adminstra-
ton, thoroughly aroused and sore at the
repeated exposes by the GLOBE of the
incompeteney of the police department,
made this remark:
"We've got the grand jury, and it will
get back at the GLOBE in fine shape.
The inference was quite plain; but II
anything were lacking it was supplied
by Republican paper in the statement
that members of the GLOBE force were
to be called before the jury to tell what
they knew of the lawlessness rampant
through the city. The remark meant
that the grand jury was TO be used to
smooth matters over for the police and
rebuke The GLOBE. The only outcome
was the mild statement given below.
No member OF the GLOBE staff was
asked to enlighten the jury as to the
number and correctness of the rob-
berries, burglaries and garrotings that
have been committed within the past
few months. Doubtless the friend of
the police administration on the jury

test of the question.
1t is also reported that the jury failed
to call for the police record of crimes to
see if the number reported to the pO-
lice was not far in excess of the num-
ber the GLOBE was enabled to ferret
out on its own responsibility. Coming
down to plain facts. it seems that the
jury did not care to go to the bottom of
the affair and get at the truth, but con-
tented itself with learning nothing and
satisfying the incompetent police ad-
ministratIon with thin veneer of
diaphanous whitewash.
Bring out Garvin's record book and
see if it does not contain far more ac-
counts of burglaries than were ever
published in the GLOBE.

KANSAS COMPLICATIONS.
Two Peculiar Legislative Contests
by Populists.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 29.-lnjunction
proceedings were instituted before
Judge Guthrie this morning to stop the
official count in Jackson county and the
Thirty y-eighth legislative district. The
suit was brought at the instance of Ed
Shellabarger, the Peoples candidate for
the Legislature, who claims that IN the
apportionment of the last legislature the
town of Holton was not given to any
legislative district and should not be
counted. He wants the contest thrown
into the house. A similar condition
of affairs exists in Reno county,
the town of Nickerson having been left
out in the apportionment. In each OF
these districts Republican was elected.
and if the injunction proceedings hold
good it will take two Republican seats
and all of the Populists to organize the
lower house.
1t was claimed here today that the Of
fetal board of canvaSSerS will refuse to
decide the county tie and will throw the
case into the house for final settlement.
The board is Republican aud believes
that the Republicans will organize the
house. The official count is proceeding
slowly: it will not be completed before
Thursday.

PORTER's PLAN.
He Wants the Census Office Made
Permanent Bureau.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-CenSus Su-
perintendent Porter, in his annual re-
port to the secretary of the interior,
strongly urges that the census Office be
made permanent bureau of the interi
or department. He says he has con-
suited statisticians and experts, and has
obtained by correspondence an express
sion of views from commercial OrganiZa-
tiOns, officers of state boards of health,
agricultural organizations, state super
intendents of education, bishops and
prominent churchmen, officers of
institutions for the deaf, DUMB, blind,
etc, all of whom are necessarily inter
ested in any movement looking to the
improvement of the present system of
collecting and compiling census sta
tisticS. Encouraged by the many eX
preSSionS of favor with which the prop
oSitiOn has been received, some OF them
from the most eminent StatiSticianS III
this country and abroad, he renewS his
appeal for permanent census. Mr..
Porter refers to the complaints that
have been made against the accuracy
of the eleventh census, especially by
the authorities of certain cities. and
says that the work of the enumeratorS
has been vindicated by time.
In regard to the cost of the work of
taking the eleventh census. Mr.. Porter
says that the total disbursements from
the commencement of operations up to
June 80 1892, amounted to IS, 203, ,693.
Of this amount 81, ,4S5,45S was paid to
enumeratOrs. The population and so
cial statistics cost 81 1861, SOS; the statis-
tics of farms, homes and mortgages,
S41, ,OO5,771; printing and stationery,
S65l, $50. 1t is further stated that in
July, 1891, there were $3.50 clerks
on the pay rolls, and in June
1892. the number had been reduced to
1,214. There is money available to de-
fray the necessary expenses of the Of
fee up to March l, 1893. From that
time until the close of the fiscal year
Mr.. Porter estimates that the sum of
S24O, 600 will be required to continue the
office. OF the thirteen volumes in which
the results of the eleventh census will
be embodied, there are now IN the hands
of the printers eight quarto volumes,
and it is stated that the indefinite detail
of the Office makes it impossible to fore
tell the date of the actual completion Of
the work.

tees representing the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers. the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen, the Order
of Railway Conductors and the Order of
Railway Telegraphers are in this city

superintendent of the Central railroad
meets committees from various Organi-
cations employed on the road to make
out new contracts for the ensuing year.
Trouble is expected this year with
representatives of the telegraphers, who
have been unable heretofore to secure a
contract. An effort will be made to get
the uperintendent to sign an agreement
relating to the wages and hours of en-
plOyment. IL is claimed that under the
new management the road has SO re-
duced its force of telegraphers that one
man is now compelled to do the work OF

Minister Scruggs' Report on the
Mjares Incident.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-The report
OF Minister Scruggs relative to the Mi
jores case has been received at the de-
partment of state, and it appears from
the minister's report that no legal de-
mand was made upon the captain of the
Philadelphia for the surrender of Mi
jares by the Venezuelan government.
The only demand was of verbal char
aeter-on the allegation that he was ''an
enemy of the government" No specific
charges was made of violation by him
of the ordinary laws of Venezuela. No
representation has been made to the
legation which would lead to the con-
clusion that the government of Vene-
zueIa felt aggrieved at the action of the
consul at La Guayra or of the captain
OF the Philadelphia.

politicians at the st. Paul hotels. Three
congressmen-elect were at the Mer-
chants during the day, and one United
States senator dropped into the Ryan.
where Henry Willard also arrived dur
ing the day. Mr.. Willard declared he
was here on business, and that ended
1t. He had not heard that he is booked
for seat in President Cleveland's cab
met, or that he is certain to succeed
William Walter Phelps and his
bang at the court of the kaiser.
Having received all this information. TO-
gether with various reports as to what

Dakota, only spent a few moments III
the Ryan lobby. He was OH his way to
Washington, aud knew less about North
Dakota politics than Senator w. Ii. Rob
inSon. his Traill county admirer, down at
the Merchants. Senator Robinson,
however, was unwilling to hazard a
guess OH the probable successor OF Mr;
Casey, but felt quite sure that it will
not be Gov Burke.
"Gov. Burke" he said, sis one of the
sqnarest and best men in the world,
and, while he has hosts Of friends, and
warm ones, too, he has made some
powerful enemies, who will be strong
enough, think, to defeat him"
The congressmen-elect at the Mer-
chants were Maj. NJ. r. Baldwin, of
Duluth; Senator James A. Tawney, of
Winona, and Congressman Nils ?.
Haugan, OF Black River Falls, Wis.
The latter went to Washington last
evening, while the others remained over
IN the SANITY city.
Of state senators there were a great
many in the city in addition to Senator
Tawney. Senator Mcmillan, of Henne-
pin, and Senator Keller, of StearnS.
were here. Oh their way to Des MONIES
as members of the capitol commission.
Senator Dean, OF this city, went along.
This trio will be joined at the Hawkeye
capital by Senator Ayers, of Austin,
and Senator Ladue. of Luverne.
Ex-senator c. F. Macdonald, of
Stearns, was another prominent guest
at the Merchants during the day.

QUARANTINE CHANGES.
Regulations Modified During the
Winter Months.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Aetlng Sec
retary Spaulding today made further
modification of the regulations govern
ing the admission of immigrants. 1t is
based on report by Surgeon General
Wyman, of the Marine hospital service.
that 1t is safe to relax somewhat during
the winter months the existing stringent
precautions against the introduction of
cholera. Under the new arrangement
all vessels from foreign ports, regard
less of whether they carry Immigrants,
will be allowed to proceed as far as the
local quarantine stations at Philadel-
phia and Baltimore without eXamlna-
ton at the national quarantine at the
Delaware breakwater and Cape Charles.
This privilege has heretofore been con-
fined to ships having no Immigrants on
board.
