THEY'RE AGiN' 1T.
City Officials Talk Against the
Transfer Station.

transfer station.
The council committee OH railroads
yesterday afternoon discussed the re-
cent ordinance granting the street rail-
way company the right to construct and
operate transfer station on the square
adjacent to the city hall. Aid. Snyder's
resolution annulling this ordinance and
taking away the compaDy's right 10 per-
form the aforementioned matter came
up for action and considerable vigorous
opposition. Aid. Rand made an ener-
getic plea for the adoption of Aid. Sny-
der's resolution, stating that the tax
payers of the city did not want the
square to be disfgured, and that the
council had no right to grant any cor
p0ration the privilege of occupying
public streets. Aid. Snyder and Adams
also opposed the ordinance. EX-City
Attorney Russell, who was present, was
asked to give his opinion, and he stated
that there was no doubt out the coun-
cifS action in granting the company the
privilege to build the transfer station
was illegal.
City Attorney Simpson cOrroborated
this testimOney. The city had no right,
he said, to make a contract with any
corporation for the occupancy of pub
lie street, The city merely had an ease
ment in the streets and could not legally
make contract for its use by private
parties, even for day. The occupancy
might be suffered, but could not be con-
tracted for. The committee instructed
Mr.. Simpson to prepare written opin-
ion bearing on the case and submit it to
the meeting to be held Friday morning.
The whole matter was deferred until
that time

HERE'S A CHURCH WAR.
Swedish Lutherans Speak Harshly
of the EDiScopalians.

of the EpiscOpalians.
War between the Swedish LutheranS
and the Eplscopalians seems to have
broken out in Minneapolis. The Swedish
Lutheran pastors OF what is known as
the st. Paul mission district of the
Swedish Augu5tana synod are IN session
in the Emmanuel church on the East
side. Yesterday they departed from the
routine business of hearing church re
ports long enough to adopt some drastic
resolutions concerning the EpiScO-
palianS. The resolutions read as fol-
lows:
Whereas, 1t has come to our knowl-
edge that certain persons are engaged
by the Episcopalian church as mission
aries among the ScandinavianS of Min
neapOis and ST. Paul, and are labOring
to establish EpiscOpalian churches
among said people; and
Whereas, These men, in order to gain
their purposes. deceive our people,
claiming that their congregations are
Lutheran, and for said purposes make
use of the ritual. liturgy and yestments
OF the Swedish Lutheran church; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we hereby earnestly
denOunce such mode of procedure as
unbecOming and un-Christian, and
wholly void of the Christian courtesy
and honesty which we have right to
expect from our friends within the
Episcopal church.
Resolved, That the officers of the Min
neSOta district of the Swedish Lutheran
mission conference be instructed to
present these resolutions to the proper
authorities of the Episcopal church..
The trouble grows out of the mission
airy work of St. Marks church. Some
time ago this church inaugurated a
mission among the Scandinavians and
engaged Rev. 0. F. TOfteen to carry on
the work. The Lutherans allege that
Mr.. TOfteen is working for the EpiSco-
palians in the gulse of a Lutheran.
Capt. John &. Reno, a vestryman of st.
Marks, and one interPst6d in MIR.
TOfteen'S work. says of the resolutions:
Il am very much surprised at this
action, for it is entirely unjustified.
These missions which Mr.. Tofteen has
been organizing are not Lutheran and
never have been called Lutheran. Mr..
Tofteen was regularly ordained in the
Episcopal church at Galesburg, ILL.,. by
Bishop Burgess Jan. l. 1892. He is now
III deacOn'S orders and is a full-hedged
EDiscOpalian. His work has been openly
EpiScOpalian, and has been successful.
The fact is that the AuguStana church
is seceder from the Swedish national
church, and many SwedeS coming here
will not attend il. The Episcopalian
missions furnish them exactly what
they want, and accordingly we have
been remarkably successful. Perhaps
that fact furnishes the motive for this
attack upon US"

N Montana aggregating 100000. This
Judgment has never been enforced, on
account of the expense of gathering the
horses. A judgment was secured IN
Hennepin county for Sl5,S759S against
property which Fletcher bid in at forced
sale for S., lS5. The reason for the sup
rosed large assets lies in the fact that 1t
was customary, in making a directors
report, TO Include IN the assets TIE orig
inal outlay Tor the ranch, and also the
purchase price for stock. which has
never purported to be the value of the
stock on hand. This was what was
called "stock account"
1t is asserted that at the time of the
transfer of the property to Fletcher. at
the February meeting, the following
was the value OF the assets: Bills re-
ceivable, $4,000; horses in Ramsay
county, Heunepin county and Wiscon-
sin, $4,000: horses in North Dakota,
$4,000; land in Montana, $500; lots in
North Dakota, $1,000; tools, etc, $1,000.
Out of this wreckage, together with
the horses in Montana, Fletcher wishes
to recover for Sl45.000 owed him. lie
says his books are open for inspection
at any time.

ACCUSED OF BLACKMAIL.
John Williams, a PseudO-Private
Detective, Locked UD.

DetecClVe, Locked u ID.
John Williams, a tall, pale fellow,
with a yellow mustache, who calls him
self a private detective, was arrested
last evening by Inspectors Howard and
Doyle on the charge of Matchmaking.
The complainant in the case is w. IL.
Place, the attorney, whose Office is at
81 Fourth street south. The inspectors
tn ink they have strong case, and that
they will have no difficulty in proving
the charges.
The story of what Williams did runs
thus: Tuesday afternoon Williams
called upon Mrs. Place ana informed
her that her husband was not all that he
should be. In fact. Williams said, Mr..
Place dallied considerably with the
affections of other women. He had Sc
cured an abundance of proof against
her wicked husband, he said, and would
be only too glad to give her the felicity
of using it. AS a detective, he would,
however, have to be paid for his Serv-
ices. Mrs. Place Indignantly denied
that her husband was false to his mar
rage vows, for, she said. he was at home
every night and she could account for
his time during the day.
But the yellow-muStached Williams
informed her that it was during the day
that her husband dallied, and he would
prove it to her. 1t was finally agreed
that Mrs. Place should meet the "pri-
vate detective" on the Hennepin ave-
nue. side of the steel arch bridge yester-
day afternoon. In the meantime she
informed her husband of what had oc-
Cured, and he Immediately commune
Gated with the police. Inspectors How
ard and Doyle were given the case
They put private mark on two-dollar
bill, and armed with this Mrs. Place
courageously ventured to the appointed
place.
AT o'clock Williams put IN his ap-
pearance and reiterated the statements
made the day before concerning MI.
Place. He gave the lady list of names
of the city and advised her to call upon
them and assure herself of the truthful
ness of his statements. Mr.. Place then
rendered him the marked bill and prom
ised to give him more money today.
Williams, with the bill in his pocket.
started back toward the city, and when
he came opposite the city hall, the in
! spectors nabbed him. He was locked
up in a cell, and last night his wife,
formerly in the employ Of Dempsie, the
| photographer, paid him visit.
Williams at one time was a member
| of the Chicago police force. He came
| here last summer, and for long time
was employed by Rice's Detective
agency. Last winter he secured the po-
sition of night clerk at the Holmes
hotel. but only remained there three
nights.

FAILED FOR $4,000,
An Old London Bank Forced to
the Wall


LONDON, April 12.-The English,
Scottish and Australian Chartered bank
has failed, with liabilities amounting to
$4,000, 900, or $50, 100000. The bank was
Incorporated by royal charter in 1852.
and claimed to have paid up capital of
100000 and reserve fund of 9310,000.
The suspended bank has main branches
at Sydney, Adelaid, Brisbane and Mel
bourne, and at various lesser points III
the colonies of New South Wales, Vic
toria and South Australia. 1t transacted
banking and exchange business between
Great Britain and the Australian COL
ONES, aud had large deposits. The fail
ure mas added to the anxiety and con-
sternation which previous recent fail
ures of financial institutions with Aus
tralian connections have caused.
A dispatch from Melbourne says that
since April more than 100000 were
drawn from the bank. The official no.
tice Of the suspension states that the
bank was perfectly sound when the run
began, and that the apprehensions of
the depOsitOrs were quite groundless.
The shareholders will be convened in
this city in the near future to discuss
plan for reconstruction. Meanwhile all
the colonial banks will cash the notes of
the suspended bank, and its ninety
branches IN Australia will be kept open
for the convenience of their customers.

NIT England's Supple
mentary Report.
j. c. Carter Opens the Argu-

Speech.
Failure Of a London Bank
With Liabilities Of $780,
100000.

PARIS, April 12.-Upon the opening
of the Behring sea court of arbitration
today, the president, Baron de Cour-
celleS, announced that the court had de-
cided not to admit the British supple
mentary report for the present. The
court added that this decision was with
out prejudice to the right of counsel to
introduce The report in pleadings by
word of mouth. The president further
announced that the tribunal had decided
to adjourn the demand of the United
States for the rejection of portions of
the British counter-case. Sir Charles
Russell, of counsel for Great Britain,
stated that it had been agreed that the
American counsel should first address
the court. Notwithstanding tho fact that
Great Britain was complainant in the
proceedings. James C.Carter and Fred
erick r. Coudert, counsel for the United
States, would deliver the opening adj
dresses, and Sir Richard ebster, q. Rob-
inson and Sir Charles Russell would
follow for Great Britain. Hon. E. j.
Phelps would then close in behalf of the
United States. The president suggested
that the counsel should argue the queS-
ton of rights apart from the question of
regulations.
j. C.Carter then proceeded to address
the court. He reviewed the history of
the sealing industry. and mentioned
that Russia had prohibited the
Slaughter Of Female Seals.
He contenGed that the seals were be-
slowed by Providence on all mankind.
1t was the duty of the American gov
eminent to prevent the determination
of the seals, and therefore the United
States had re-enacted the Russian regu-
latiOnS for the protection OF seals, and
had arrested the Canadian poacherS be-
cause it was impossible to allow any
nation to destroy indScriminately the
gift of Providence. Mr.. Carter read the
diplomatic communications which fol-
lowed the seizures made of vessels ac-
cused of poaching. Mr.. Carter continued
his speech during the afternoon, devot-
ing himself to review Of the negOtia-
tons between President HarrISOn's adj
minIstration and Great Britain OH the
subject of the seal fisheries. Mr.. Car
ter's address will probably last for a
fortnight.
Senator Morgan remarked today to
the Associated Press correspondent that
Mr.. Carter was making a concise and
splendid argument, which did great
credit to the United States. United
States Agent Foster said in an inter-
view today that the decision of the court
of arbitration, refusing for the present
to admit the British supplementary re-
report, substantially sustains the
American Interpretation of the
\ treaty of arbitration in the cOnten-
ton that additional evidence cannot
properly be laid before the tribunal.
The decision, Mr.. Foster adds, deter
mines that the report can rank as argu-
ment or criticism. but is not pertinent as
evidence or printed argument provided
for in the treaty.

CHOAS IN CLEVELAND.
The New Mayor and the Council
Are at Loggerheads.

CLEVELAND, o., April 12.-The at
fairs of the municipality are in a state
bordering upon anarchy. There is a
mayor. and nothing more. 1t was
thought that the terms of offices Gf the
directors of the different offices of the
city expired when the mayor went out
of office. Legal authorities say that
such is not the case. In the meantime
three directors have resigned and three
hang OIL. The mayor does not know
whether to recognize the latter or not.
The officers he appointed have not been
confirmed by the council, which is Re
publican, and the chances are they will
not be. At present SubordlnateS in
office are running the city's affairs.
There can be no solution of the muddle
until the Republicans in the council are
willing to give in, and they are not
likely to. after the unexpected assump-
ton of Office by Mayor Blee a week
ahead of the usual time.
