Extraordinary Attempt NAoo -
Mae to DIE ON the crsas.
An extraordinary attempt At suicide
was that related By the Medical Stand-
vd Of an Italian paranoiac who de-
termiued 10 cruelty himself for the
sins II the world. He deliberately set
about The manufacture Of cross and
all the adjnncts necessary for crnciilx-
ION. Perceiving that It would be diff
cult 70 nail himself firmly to the cross,
he made a net, which he fastened toit,
occurring it at the bottom Of the up
eight beam, q little below the bracket
lie had placed for his feet. and at the
lends of the two arms. The whole APP
patst us was tied by two ropes. one
from tSe rope and the other from the
place wlexe the beams intersectcd each
other. Thess ropes, fastened to the
bar above the wh1dow, were just long
enough to permit the cross to lie hori-
zontally on the door Of the room.
These preparations finished, he put
81 his crown Of thorns, some Of which
entered his forehead. StrippiDs him
self naked, he girdel his loins VIA
white handkerchief. Then lie iutro-,
1uced himself iuto the net, and seat
lug himself on the cross, drove nail
into his right palm BY striking his hand
on the floor until the point appeared
Oh the otheg side.
He placed his feet on tue bracket,
and with mallet drove nail through
them both, entering hole he had pte-,
viously made-to receive il, and thus
fastened them to the wood He then
tied himself to the cross by piece Of
cord around his waist, after which lie

knife III the left side, but he failed to
.injure any important organ. He had
made several scratches on his breast
to determine the place of least resist

of tfe cruciixion. This was done il
his room.
In order to show himself to the pee-1
pie be placed the foot Of the cross upon
the window sill, which was very low,
and By pressing his fingers against the
floor, he gradually drew himself for
ward until the FOOT Of the cross over
balanced the head, and the Whole ma
chine tilted ont of the widow and hung
BY the two ropes fastened BY the. two
beams. He then nailed his right hand
20 the arm of the cross, but could not
succeed in fixing the left, although the
nail which il was to be fixed was driv
pn.thspugh until half Of it came on the
ntlier side. After hanging thus an
hour he was noticed, detached from
he cross and put to bed. He recover

NEW YORK, Feb. GA special to
The Herald from Valparaiso says an in
vestigation is being made into the au-
thorship of certain dispatches to New
York newspaper from this city. 1t was
found that the messages sent out from
here were signed Reamer. This is de-
clared to have been the assumed name
of Lieutenant Hart, the worlds fair
commissioner in Chilli. Valparaiso papers
published the facts in the case and said
they could not understand why Lieuten-
ant Hart, sent to Chih on mission of
peace, should spread such infammatory
news in the United States.

VERMILLIoN, 8. D., Feb. 20. The
Catholics are looking toward the open
ing of an orphan school here. Two
sisters of charity are here, and a priest
has come with dozen or SO boys with
which to experiment. Their plan is to
locate temporarily here now, using
rented buildings, and then, if the place
is suited to their needs, purchase, if
possible, the abandonded st. Paurs
church and dormitory buildings, and
bring on full force Of people to care
for the friendless children of the whole
state. The plan has been developed
quietly and the people of Vermillion
are taken wholly by surprise by it.

In the Hands of His Friends.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. pa Tribune
special from Washington says that Con-
gresham Lind is in the hands of his
friends, as far as the Minnesota COVER
norship is concerned. He has with
drawn his objections and if the Repub-
lican state convention thinks best to
nominate him he Will accept. Much is
heard here about the Merriam Nelson
alliance but the Minnesota politicians
who are at present in Washington do
not think there is any lasting compact
of the kind. The preliminary contest
promises to be test of strength be-
tween Lind and Nelson, so they say.

HEARD FROM BLAINE!

Action on the Copyright Law.

Nhe Secretary Protests Against Canadian
Action on the Copyright Law.
OTTAWA, Ont, Feb 6.-Secretary of
State for TIE Colonies Lord Knutsford,
has transmitted to the governor general
a dispatch received by Lord Salisbury
from Secretary Blaine protesting in the
strongest terms possible in diplomatic
intercourse against the refusal of the
Canadian government to grant copy
right to American citizens. Mr.. Blaine
recites the provisions of the Simonds
act of 1901 that the privilege of copy
right in the United States shall only
apply to such foreign states as grant
similar privileges to American citizens.
Great Britain, through Lord Salisbury
agreed to this and declared the law Of
copyright in force in ell British posses
sions. Mr.. Blaine points ont that appii-
cation by Americans for Canadian copy
right has been refused by advice of the
Canadian minister of justice, and in
forms Lord Salisbury, in effect, that the
refusal of the government. if sustained,
will constitute breach of faith on the
part of Great Britain. Minister of jus
tlce Thomson was interviewed in regard
to the matter and said he did not con-
slider the arrangement with Great
Britain as \ treaty, and consequently
the statute law of Canada compelled
him to refuse copyright in Canada to a
citizen OF the United States

on ReaI Estate.
BISMARCK, Feb. 26.-The supreme
court decision in the case of Yeatman
VS.. Foster County involves the validity
of the seed lien laws of 1889 and 1890
These laws provided for furnishing seed
grain by counties and if not paid for at
the specified time the amount was to be
charged as tax against real estate and
collected by the county treasurer and
made first lien on the crops of the first
year until paid. District Judge Rose
held that the law was invalid where it
made the seed grain tax paramount to
a prior mortgage Indebtedness. The
supreme court upholds Rose and de-
clares that chapter of the laws of 1889
and chapter $50 of the laws of 1890 are
repugnant to the constitution of the
United States SO far as they impair the
obligation of mortgage contract, ad-
ding:
The obligation of the person supplied
with seed grain under these statutes to
pay 10 the county therefor is not tax
and cannot be made tax under the
legislature. 1t is mere debt.

rioters, though small bands OF them
were chased down the side streets and
dispersed.
The sixty to seventy wounded rioters
who remained upon the field of battle
were taken to neighboring hospital,
and the regular prisoners placed under
lock and key.
IL was noticed throughout the demon
stration that the sympathy of the i'm
mense crowd of people, rich and poor,
who witnessed workingmen's demon
stration, was beyond a doubt, with the
rioters. They were cheered repeatedly
by groups of well dressed people, be-
longing to the upper or middle classes,
and were frowned upon only by those
moving in government or military cir
cleR The riot is almost the only thing
talked about, and is looked upon as
sort of reply upon the part of the people
TO the einperor's remarks to the Loyal
Brandenburgers." The ice, it is ad-
mitted has been broken, and the social
list leaders are said to be preparing for a
monster demonstration in the near
future.
The general opinion is that the real
struggle between the so-called socialists
and the government is about to begin,
the signal for it having been given Feb.
4, when it was announced that no mem
bers of the Socialist party had been in
vited to the reception given by the
emperor to the chamber of deputies,
while no discrimination was made
against other delegates, though many
or them were known to be bitterly op-
posed to certain government measures.
it was then said that the emperor and
Chancellor Won Caprivi took this step in
orker to indicate their resentment of the
determined opposition offered by the
socialist delegates to the education bill.
During the passage of workingmen
through the streets dodgers outlining
the platform of the German Socialist
party were freely distributed among the
people.

Seed Wheat Liens Not Tax on Lands
In North Dakota - The
Northwest.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. The aontro-
versy over the Maitoba Railway COM
pany's land in the Red River valley will
soon be amicably adjusted. The COM
pany has notified the interior depart
ment that it will not disturb the set
tiers, although under supreme court
decisions it is clearly entitled to the
land. Indemnity is asked in the form
of other lands of equal value or govern
ment script. The department is unable
to settle the case without an act of con-
gress. A bill will soon be introduced
to meet the emergency. The many set
tiers along the Red river who have been
in fear of losing their farms, or of hay
ing to fight the case in the courts will
breathe easier when they learn that the
question has become thus simplifed.
The land department last week for
warded 2,662 patents. 1t has been de-
cided that twenty quarter sections of
land in towns 147, range 81 and 147, 3S,
Minnesota, which have been claimed
under the state swamp land act, could
not be held under that act, and the
states claim was Cancelled.
Commissioner Carter has addressed a
letter to Secretary Noble relative to
house bill No. 346, to reimburse settlers
and purchasers of even numbered Sec
tions in cases of forfeiture Of odd num-
bered sections. The amount required
to satisfy claims for lands purchased
opposite the unconstituted portion of the
Northern Pacific between Wallula and
Portland, would be $3.50, 900. Taking
this as basis, it would require 81 $780,
600 to carry out the provisions of the
bill.
