A Mysterious Secret Order to
North Dakota Elevator
~ Agents.
Farm !rs Not Selling Very
Rapidly at Forty-Two
Cents a Bushel.
Taxes Generally Unpaid
Very Little Wheat to Be
SoWn This Year.
Gov. Shortridge Signs the
Bill for an Elevator on
Lake Superior.

JAMESTOWN, N. D., March 1s.-It is
learned that every elevator agent in
North Dakota has within few days re-
ceived secret orders to ship at once out
of the state to Minneapolis and Duluth
all the wheat possible. A big elevator
syndicate, centering in Minneapolis
and Duluth, controls all the wheat in
store in this state not now in farmers
hands. The amount of grain now in
elevators in North and South Dakota is
unknown, owing to the policy of con-
cealing the same in the alleged interest
of producers. The annual movement
OF most of the wheat in elevators out of
the state is always made, but not earlier
than the middle of April, in order to
avoid the May assessment of taxation.
The hurried preparations for the re-
moval of the wheat this year at this
time are not understood, unless it is to
bear the market by swelling the ostensi-
bic receipts and further increasing the
demand for elevator room in Chicago by
this concerted and general movement
Of elevators. 1t is believed that most Of
the grain in sight in this state and
doubtless in South Dakota, will be out
of the states and dumped ON the market
in very short time. The winter has
been long and severe, and farmers have
not been able to haul grain to market
even if they would, owing to the roads
being rendered impossible by enormous
sDOwdrifts. The price of No. 2 north
ern, the average grade, as given at the
elevator, is today AZ cents at this point,
and will run about that price all over
the state. Farmers refuse to sell what
they have left at this price, and decline
to deal with merchants and dealers with
persistency never known. As a con-
sequence, it is impossible to make COL
lections, and greater dullness in trade
has never been seen. Taxes have never
been so generally left unpaid before.
Many farmers will refuse to put IN
wheat this year, as the prices promised
twill not pay to raise it.

LOOK LIKE EXCEPTIONS.
Two Ex-Officeholders Receive a
Little Encoura cement.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The "no
reappointment" rule was more clearly
defined by Mr.. Cleveland this morning.
Among his callers was Representative
Springer with William II. Heinrichsen,
of Illinois, and Mr.. Newell, member
of the Illinois senate. Mr.. Heinrichsen,
In presenting the name of n. w. Cham
bers for the postmastership at Jackson
vile, H., mentioned that Mr.. Chambers
had held the office under the first Dem
Ocratic administration, and when Mr..
Cleveland reminded him of the mo re-
appointment rule" Mr.. Heinrichsen
cited the fact that his candidate had
been removed from Office by the Repub-
licans before the expiration of his term;
that he was the unanimous choice of
the people in Jacksonville. and that he
had been the best postmaster the town
ever had. In reply Mr.. Cleveland said
the fact that Mr.. Chambers was so gen
orally indorsed put new phase on the
matter, and he suggested that
statement of the case be
sent him in convenient form for
reference. But the greater surprise was
yet to come tC the three gentlemen
from Illinois. Senator Newell present
ed the name of Thomas Cooper for re-
appointment to the Office of collector of
internal revenue, Springfield district,
but was told by Mr.. Cleveland that
there were several other candidates of
ability for the position, that Mr.. Coop
er's name could not be considered, and
he therefore begged Mr.. Newell not to
press his candidacy. Mr.. Newell was
somewhat taken aback at the firm deciS-
Oh of the president, but asked if the fact
that Mr.. Cooper had held federal office
before would bar his making a fight
for another federal position. The pres
ident answered in the negative, and
asked what Office Mr.. Cooper would
like. When Mr.. Newell eXplained-that
Mr.. Cooper contempt ated applying for
the consul generalship to Mexico,
in the event that he failed to
secure the collectorship, Mr. Cleva-
land advised him to file Mr..
Cooper's papers at once. and added that
Mr.. Cooper's name would be given as
much consideration as any other candi-
date. The president, it is said, did not
intend his no twO-term rule to apply 10
officers such as chiefs of division where
the appointments are vested in cabinet
officers. Each cabinet officer must de-
eide this matter for himself, but most Of
them Will have policy similar to the
presidents.

low, and Then What Will
Happen ?

There was more than one exciting Ia
.ident yesterday connected with the
Ease of the alleged coal combine.
The Rhodes letter book matter was
taken up before Judge Egan in special
term in the morning upon the applica-
hon made by John J. Rhodes, directing
]. w. Wells, j. Schaefer and Basil
Smout to show cause why they should
not be punished for contempt in not
turning over to the sheriff the book
upon the replevin papers. c. d. OBrien
appeared for Mr.. Rhodes, and Attorney
General IL. w. ChIlds and NJ. d. Mum
appeared for the defendants. The mat
ter was taken up at 10 o'clock in the
morning, and there were some prelim-
mary statements made by counsel on
both sides. The defense objected
to the jurisdiction of the court.
This objection was overruled by
the court. as we'll as the motion for
continuance. The first decision was not
made, however, until the afternoon ses-
sion. At o'clock Sergeant-at-Arms
Basil SmOut was called to the witness
stand. a few questions brought out
the fact that he did not have the book
In his possession. He had left it in the
vault of the state treasurer, and ten
minutes before twelve had telegraphed
to r. A. Walsh, chairman of the coal
combine Investigation committee, to go
to the state treasureT's office and get 1t.
Mr. O'Brien wanted to know why Mr..
Smout had telegraphed such order. Mr..
Mum objected to the question, and said
that Mr. SmOut had right to dispose of
the book any time before going on the
witness stand, as he was not under the
power of the court before that time, as
there had been no restraining order to
prevent his doing what he pleased with
The book.
Mr.. Smout said the reason he turned
The book over was that he might be re-
luired to produce it i'll court, and-he
wanted to clear himself and let the
plaintiff look to some one else for the
property.
At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion the defense offered in evidence the
resolution of the Legislative relative to
the books. Judge Egan said that the
key to the situation lies in the cOnstruc-
tion of the statute, and asked for dis
cuSSiOn on this point.

BIsMARK, n. D., March 1S.-The gov
ernOr today concluded his action on the
measures passed at the late session of
the legislature. He signed the famous
elevator bill, appropriating 100000 for
the erection Of an elevator or warehouse
at Duluth or Superior. The bill has a
clause, however, which may hamper
proceedings hereunder. 1t specially
provides that before any money is spent
the state wherein the site is located
shall cede to North Dakota full civil
jurisdiction over the same and exemp-
tion from all taxation.
Gov. Shortridge signed also the bill
requiring all public officials to use coal
mined within the state. and permits
some unlmportant measures to become
law by limitation.

THE MODERN SAINT PATRICK.

Representatives in session assembled,
That said r. A. Walsh, be and he here
by is directed to retain possession of
said impression letter book for the use
OF said committee and said investigation,
and said r. A. Walsh be, and he hereby
is directed to retain possession of the
said book and to deliver it to no person
or officer other than to the members Of
said committee for use in said inveSti-
cation pending the further order of the.
senate and house of representatives.
The resolution was adopted unani-
mOusly. Mr.. Walsh said afterWard he
would certainly appear i'll court if alive,
and would as certainly refuse to bring
in the letter book or deliver it to aly
one except as directed in the resolution.
If any attempt is made to commit him
for contempt then a writ of habeas
corpus will be applied for. And the
end is not yet. 1t is safe to say the coal
combine people have ahead of them
the very hottest kind of fight in which
they have ever been involved. 1t is
very probable that the Lockwood anti
trust law will be so amended Monday
by the house and senate that any per-
son convicted under it may be sent to
prison for not less than one year nor
more than ten. At present the law
only provides for fine OF from S100
to $1,000. There is little question in the
minds of the legislators but that Gov.
Nelson would at once sign such meas
ure.
Would Cite yud@e Egan.
Previous to the adoption of the VIII
son resolution, Mr. Cole, of Otter Tail.
introduced resolution citing Judge
Egan, of the Ramsey county district
court, to appear before the bar of the
house and show cause why he detainS
in custody the sergeant-at-armS of the
house. There were numerous seconds
to the motion to adopt.
Mr.. Young cautioned that the house
90 slow in the matter. The house had
a more dignifed method open to it. If
the sergeant-at-arms is wrongfully de-
tanned the supreme court will no
doubt release him Oh a writ Of habeas
corpus. Even If the judge was brought
here" said he, 1--WE would not know
what to do with him.
Mr.. Cotton took the same view. He
thought the legislature had exceeded its
authority in passing the resolution of
few days ago. As he understood the
situation, the sergeant-at-arms had been
properly cited before Judge Egan, had
refused 10 answer certain questions and
was undoubtedly guilty of contempt.
Whatever the outcome, the remedy
pointed out by Mr.. Young was the right
one.
Mr.. Staples gave notice of debate, and
this sent the resolution over under the
rules.

The Future of Irrigation.

ABERDEEN, S. D., March 1S.-John
II. McWilIiams. the irrigation expert,
says that extensive operations will be
carried on in Brown, Sphinx and Beadle
counties this year, and that a number
of parties from Iowa, Illinois and Ohio
have recently interested themselves in
irrigation enterprises here and else
where in the state. While the subject
is not apparently receiving the general
attention 1t did several years ago, he is
of the opinion that more actual work
will be done this year and more good
results secured than ever before.

BARONS WEAKEN.
A SIobbery Letter Received From
the Anthracite Kings,


The only occurrence in the senate
yesterday relative to the combine inves-
tigation was the receipt of very novel
letter by Senator Donnelly, as chair
man of the Investigating committee,
from the coal barons of Pennsylvania.
1t was pathetic appeal for the sus-
pension of hostilities on the part of the
legislature, and it evidences the fact
that the Eastern combine has awakened
to the absurdity of its intimidating
tactics of few days ago, when the
combine threatened to shut off the en-
tire supply of coal from the state in case
the investigation were carried any fur
ther. The last letter represents that
the producers are laying down coal in
Duluth at positive loss to them.
Senator Donnelly treated the matter
lightly, and said it was pity the
millionaires of Pennsylvania should
suffer such pecuniary loss in the inter-
ests of the dear people of Minnesota.

DELAY IN LEGISLATION WILL PREVENT BUILDING NEW ELECTRIC ROADs.-The outlook for new electric roads in this state is pretty poor. There will probably be no new lines built for two years. Present roads operated under old charters that permit expansion will expand perhaps i; but many of these have irons in the fire to finish which they must have additional powers.' The delay of the legislature in passing a suitable general bill prevents operations. --.f
 ,''It is a great drawback to us,' said one of the prominent electric men. 'We had planned to build an extension and the material is already with us. More of it is coming into the state. We had to an- ticipate building. If we cannot build for two years to come, perhaps not even then unless we get legislature that will enact a suitable law, it will be 8 great loss to us. No, we are not opposed to the pro- posed law, even with the freight carrying and anti-parallel clauses included. We would have preferred something different from the financiering clause. What should be done is to pass 8 general bill with 8 few general provisions concerning the lay outs which should be under the jurisdic- tion of the cities, towns and boroughs."
 ''Is it true," was question asked g legislator, "that the electric roads are in favor of the proposed bill as it passed the senate?"
 "No," was the reply, ''that is decep- tive statement. It is true that some of the electric roads are in favor it. These roads are those already established in the large cities. Some of them are owned by syndicates. It is not true that large number of other corporations that are seeking to build electric roads are in fav- or of the bill. They are opposed to it un- less it is amended by striking out the anti parallel clause, some of the clauses relat- ing to the railroad commissioners, and certain other clauses. AS it passed the senate it will kill them.
 Every town is interested in opposing the bill except it be thus properly amend ed. Almost every citizen is opposed to it. They want rapid transit; they desire better communication between towns. It will help them and help business. They ought to have every facility to enlarge their welfare.
 "If the steam roads and some of the established electrics continue to oppose the proper amendment of the bill, the only thing to do is to kill the whole measure. 1 would be in favor of having the legisla- ture adjourn over until fall. Then it might be in better mood to give the peo- pie what they want"
 If no general bill is passed it seems too late in the session to go into hearings on many of the one hundred and forty char ters asked for. They are sure to be fought over before the committee by parties sell fishly or otherwise interested, and then in the senate and house, no matter what the reports are.
