POLITICS CROPPED OUT,
But 1t All Wound Up in a Sort

But 1t All Wound Up in Sort
of Love Feast.
Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Dec. THE newly elected
directors of the chamber of commerce
assembled this morning and reelected
S. A. Thompson secretary. There was
some opposition threatened against Mr..
Thompson because he took an active
part in the campaign, going down into
Joel HeatwoIe's district to make
speechee for that gentleman. This
raised the ire of the Democrats, but the
Republicans also felt that they had rea-
son to complain because Mr.. Thompson
gave his friend, Maj. Baldwin, of the
Sixth district. his negative support at
least, by not supporting Judge Searle.
The secretary of the chamber of com
merce gets salary of $4,000 year by
uniting that Office with city railroad
commissioner. Some Democrats now
threaten to put an end to that source of
revenue by depriving Mr.. Thompson of
the latter office. However, Mr.. Thomp-
son has more friends than his enemies
imagine, and has won big reputation
for himself by his hard work for Du-
luth. The reelection of Maj. Baldwin
as president or the cnamDer OF COM
merce. in spite of his protests. was
fitting compliment to faithful officer,
and has served to allay all animosity, if
any serious amount of it really exists.
The chamber of commerce proposes to
push the matter of a deep waterway to
the sea as rapidly as possible, and,
while no opposition will be made to the
Nicaragua canal scheme, yet Duluth
and the Red river valley will demand
as much consideration from the govern
ment as is accorded the Pacific slope or
know the reason why.

DANGER OF CHOLERA.
First Note of Warning Sounded
Before a SuGcoD mittee

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.-The first note
of warning in congress of the cholera
epidemic predicted for next year was
sounded this morning before the sub
committee of the house appropriations
committee, charged with the prepara-
ton of the District of Columbia appro-
prIation bill, by DR.. Hammett. health
officer of the district, who urged upon
the subcommittee the necessity for in
creasing the efficiency of his depart
ment in view of the danger from the
Asiatic scourge. which he be-
leves, in common with many other
physicians. threatens the country.
DR.. Hammett asked for more health in
spectors, more inspectors of garbage
and an increased appropriation for re-
moving all unhealthfu matter. 1t will
be interesting to note the action OF the
appropriation committee on DR.. Ham
mett'S recommendations as foreShadow-
ing the probable action of congress on
the subject of preventing the introduc-
ton of cholera in the states. In the
book Of estimates for the fiscal year
1894, estimates are submitted for the i'm
proyement of all quarantine stations
and an appropriation of about 100000 is
inserted for preventing the spread OF
the epidemic diseases. The appropria-
ton for this purpose for the current
year was 100000, and an uneXpended
balance of 100000 from the approprla--
tlon Of last year is also at the disposal
Of the federal health authorities.

KILLED HIS HIRED MAN
And Is Himself Badly Hacked to
Pieces

HIeCeS.
FARGO, N. D., Dec. Full details
have been received of horrible murder
that occurred fourteen miles southeast
of Cooperstown. Griggs county. Will
lam Karber, farmer living alone with
his hired man, John Zobak, got into a
deadly fight with him with hatchet,
in which Zobak lost his life and Karber
is badly hacked up. Karber claims that
his hired man attempted to rob him,
and deliberately struck him with the
hatchet as he lay in bed, with the in
tention of killing him. According to
his story the two men engaged in life
and death struggle and Karber man
aged to choke his assailant and
throw him on his back and
get the weapon away from him,
.Karber killed him, the hatehet being
driven into his head several times. The
murderer said he did it in self-defense,
and that if he had not killed Zobak, the
latter would certainly have killed him.
The jury will have difficult question
to solve with only Karber's side of the
case to Judge from, as they will have to
decide whether Karber was justified in
killing Zobak. when he had him at his
mercy and could have choked or pound
ed him INTO insensibility and got out of
the way without killing him. The gen.
eral opinion i'll the neighborhood is that
the hired man asked his employer to
pay him some money on his wagon, and
that the latter refused, and that this
was the cause of the quarrel. Karber'S
wounds, though painful and distiguring,
are not dangerous. His trial is not eX-
peeted to take place before spring.

AN UNJUST REFLECTION.
Why Congressman Castle Was De-
feated in This District.

Why Congressman Castle Was De-
feated in This District.
In the Minneapolis Tribune of Mon
day there appeared statement to the
effect that Congressman Castle had been
explaining his defeat in Washington by
charging it upon members of his own
party Many of the friends of the Still
water man have refused to believe
that he had been guilty of
the statements credited to him,
but it seems that he had been heard to
make the same charges before he left
for the national capital. The mention
of Hon. Michael D0ran's name as one
of the men responsible for his defeat is
a gross injustice to that gentleman, as
all who had any chance to observe the
workings of the late campaign know.
In the first place, Mr.. Castle went into
his campaign without any money, and
one Of the first men 20 take up his cause
and raise funds for him was Mr.. Doran.
Later on Mr.. Doran did very effective
work through one of his friends in All
outside county, so that the remarks said
to have been made by Mr. Castle do the
veteran Democrat very great injustice.
As a matter of fact. the election re-
turns show that the election of Mr. Cas-
tie was On impossibility. The average
Democratic majority in Ramsey county
was hardly 1900, while Mr.. Castle lost
the outside counties of the district by
about 1000. Had Mr.. Castle run up to
his party ticket i'll this county. he would
still have lost by over 500. His own
county of Washington gave Col. hiefer

Report Concerning the Ar
mament Of Vessels on the
Great Lakes.
State Department Regards
the Arrangement Of 1917
Still in Force.
Secretary Foster Recon-
mends That the Arrange
ment Be Modified.
Senator Hill Introduces a
Bill to Repeal the Sher-
man Silver Act.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE president
today, in answer to a resolution, trans
mitted the report OH the agreement be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain concerning armament on the
Great Lakes. The resolution called
explicitly for an opinion from the state
department as TO whether the arrange
ment of 1917 is now held to be in force.
The report says:
"No information has been received as
to the number. tonnage and armament
of British revenue vessels stationed i'll
these waters; but it has been recently
stated on the authority of report to
the treasury department that two yes
sells for the Dominion government have
been constructed at Owen Sound, Ont,
and that, although STYLED revenue cut
'ters,' and destined TO suppress SNUG
Cling on the st. Lawrence river and
the lakes, they are in reality capable of
adaptation to the naval purposes"
The secretary then adds significantly
that Traditional weight is perhaps lent
TO this latter aspect Of the report by the
precautions that appear to have been
taken to guard them from public i'll
pection." The dimensions of the locks
in the st. Lawrence river canals
Exclude the Entrance
INTO the lakes of any vessels exceeding
nine feet draft or 200 feet in length;
and the only vessels borne OH the Brit
ish naval list which appear to be cap
able of passage from the deep seas to
the lakes are some forty-three tugs,
drawing eight feet, and armed with
rapid firing guns. AS between the two
countries the arrangement of 1917 is to
be regarded as still in existence, and
only terminable in good faith by six
months notice of abrogation on either
side. The circumstances and form
of the original arrangement OF 1917
show it did not purport to be
more than a record of understand
ing mutually reached by the two gov
ernments for reciprocal regulation OF
matter within the administrative COM
retence of each. The question Of the
spirit which controls the understanding
of the two great governments is today
of vastly greater Importance than their
interests to any narrow contentious re-
specting its literal observance. Mr..
Foster then makes the following recon-
mendatioG:
sit seems most desirable now. in view
of the long lapse of time, and the vast
changes wrought in these and other 10
less important regards that the ar
rangement now grown obsolete in prac-
tice and surviving in the letter only as
a declared guarantee of international
peace, should he modified to tit the new
order of things and with such adapta-
tiOn to the eXigencleS of the future as

MORE THAN THE RECEIPTS.
Statement of the Estimates for
Appropriations.

Statement of the Estimates for
Appropriations.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA statement
prepared by Messrs. Curtis and Cleayes,
clerks respectively to the house and
senate committees on appropriations,
shows that the estimates for regular an
nual and permanent appropriations for
the fiscal years 1884 aggregate $685.,
SGT, ,335-an increase over the estimates
for the current fiscal year of S15. .G29, 241,
and over the appropriations exclusive
of deficiencies and miscellaneous of
S17,375,260. The appropriations, how
ever, include $21, 154, ,21S for rivers and
harbors, for which no estimates are
made. The total estimated revenue for
1894 aggregates $49O, 121.365, including
$S5, 121, 1865 estimated postal revenues.
This leaves an excess of estimated ap-
preparations exclusive of deficiencies
and miscellaneous over estimated rev.
enues of SIS. 730, ,969, and by deducting
from the estimated expenditures $4S,
100000 for the sinking fund, an excess
in estimated receipts over estimated eX
penditures is figured at S32. .S60,030. The
appropriations never equal the eSti-
mates, but, on the other hand, no de-
fciency or miscellaneous appropri-
ations are included in the esti-
mates. The estimates do not include
anything for rivers and harbors, on ac-
count of which the chief of engineers
says that S5S.064, $50 can be proftably
expended.
Representative Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, offered today for reference to the
committee On rules the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That the committee on ways and
