Criminal Proceedings Will Be

The Matter Of Service in
Rhodes Suit Is Under Ad-
visement.
President Saunders Makes a
Challenge to the Legis-
latup~

Two prosecutions will be begun at
once against the parties charged with
engineering the coal combine. This
was decided upon yesterday at con-
ference between Attorney General
Childs, Mr.. Edgerton. his assistant, and
Messrs. Donnelly. Walsh, Horton, BoggS
and Bjorge, of the investigating COM
mittee. One of these will be in the
state courts, and the defendants, E. n.
Saunders and j. j. Rhodes, will be
charged with perjury.
The second prosecution will be in the
federal courts under the anti-cOnspiracy
law. and will have as defendants all
the prime movers in the combination.
The penalty in addition to the fine in
the federal courts is Imprisonment up
to one year.
The prosecution will be conducted by
Messrs. Childs and Edgerton, assisted
by County Attorney Butler, with such
other counsel as may be found desir-
able. The committee will ask author
ity to secure additional counsel, as it is
certain that the defense will spare no
expense to obtain the best legal talent
available.

NEW DIPLOMATIC DEAN.
Baron Faya Displaced by Sir
Julian Pauncefote.


WASHINGTON. March 25.-Mr. Pate
notre, French minister to Washington,
called at the state department this
morning and notified Secretary Gresham
that his government had raised his mis-
sion here to the rank of an embassy.
AS the result of this action OIL the part
of the French government it is believed
that the rank of Mr.. EuStS, the newly
appointed minister to France, will be
raised to that of an ambassador. One
result of the advancement of Sir Julian
Pauncefote ana Mr.. Patenotre to the
rank of ambassador will be the reorgan-
iZation Of the diplomatic corps in Wash
ington. Under the recent arrangement
the heads of all the foreign
legations were ENJOYS extraordinary
and ministers plenipotentiary and
being or equal rank, they took
precedence on state occasions in order
of their seniority. Under this ruling
Baron Fava, the Italian minister, has
been for several years dean Of the corps.
Ambassadors. however, Outrank minis
ters and envoys, and Sir Julian becomes
dean by virtue of his rank, followed by
Mr.. Patenotre. The recognition OF Sir
Julian as dean occurred at the British
legation last evening. The seven Eu-
ropean powers which maintain ambas-
sadors at each others capitals will, he
said, be soon represented at Washing
ton by diplomatic agents of that rank.
There are, beside the two powers which
have already acted, Germany, Russia,
Italy, Austro-Rungary and Spain.
Senators at the capitol today are
unit in the belief that If the president
sees fit to promote United States minis
ters to the rank of ambassadors, as he Will
be authorized to do in case of our repre-
sentaJives to such powers as send am
bassadors here, such promotion will
amount to a new appointment. and must
be subjected to the approval of the
senate.

May 1, 1898. If such commission find
that this company has made during the
time net profit of over 20 cents per
net ton Of coal on all its business, in
cluding hard and soft coal and whole
sale and retail business, the company
agrees to pay in to the state treasurer,
or whoever accepts this offer. all such
excess; provided the state. or the par
ties accepting this offer. make this COM
panY good for any deficiency below 20
cents per ton on the average; or, if it be
supposed that the profits for last year
alone have been unreasOnably high, l
will submit the same proposition to be
applied to one years business ending
May 1, 1898.
Twenty cents per ton will be admitted
by any fair-minded gentleman to be
very low, certainly very reasonable,

This offer is made in spirit of fair
ness, and with a hope of correcting
misunderstanding of the real facts
which many citizens may honestly en-
tertain.
This letter will be handed to you by
the secretary of our company, and as
the matter has been given great public
lty, and great many of the facts pub
lished have not been correct, have
taken the liberty of publishing this

SAUNDERS PROPOSITION.
To Have a Committee Examine

pany'S Books

To Have q Committee Examine
the Northwestern Fuel Com
pany's Books.
Z. N. Saunders, president of the
Northwestern Fuel company, has ad-
dressed the following proposition to
Speaker Lee, of the house of repre-
sentativeS:
The agitation over the prices of coal
is started and carried on, am bound to
assume, by men who honestly believe
an unreaSonably high price is being
charged by the coal merchants in this
state. am also bound to assume that
these men freely recognize the right of
a coalmerchanr TO obtain a reasonable
profit for his capital and labor. l think
these agitators are not anarchists, and
are not dishonest. In that belief | wish
to make, in good faith, plain business
proposition.
The facts are grossly misunderstood
by these gentlemen. Take the case of
the Northwestern Fuel company, for
example. This company is one of the
largest dealers in this part sf the coun-
try, and has been charged with being
one of the principal offenders. 1t has
transacted business in this state sixteen
years, and l have been its president for
the past thirteen years. Its officers
have always endeayored TO maintain for
it high and honorable business stand
and to comply with the laws.
make this proposition in good faith
to the State of Minnesota, or TO any citi-
zen or body Of citizens of the state: If
the governor will name a commission of
three disinterested and fair citizens of
the state, not engaged in coal business,
to nominate one OF them, will submit
to that commission balance sheets and
books of the company, showing
all its business for either FIVE
years or ten years past, ending

RHODES DAMAGE CASE.
The Court Takes Under Advise
ment the Motion to Show Cause.

The Court Takes Under Advise
ment the Motion to Show Cause.
In good time Judge Otis will decide
whether or not member of the legisla
ture is exempt from service of summons
IN civil case until after the adjourn
ment of the Legislature sine die. The
matter came up before his honor yes
terday in the Rhodes case against men,
berS of the legislature to recover 500, 600
damage for seizing books. Hiler Il.
Horton and James w. B0ggS, two of
the men sued, and who are members OF
the legislature, had cited Mr.. Rhodes
before the court to show cause why the
service of summons on them should not
be vacated and set aside because OF the
fact that they are members of the legis-
lature which is in session. Mr.
Richardson appeared for the petit
TONERS, and made lengthy
argument in support OF the motion to
set aside the summons. He reviewed
the common law and the ancient uSageS
on the subject at considerable length.
Mr.. OBrien, who appeared for MI.
Rhodes, seemed reStive under the long
argument of Mr.. Richardson, and asked
the court to excuse him to go and attend
Mr.. Richardson proceeded with the
reading of his brief. Mr.. Richardson
stated that he had offered Mr.. O'Brien
copy of his brief, but it had been de-
clined. Mr.. O'Brien said that it was OF
no interest to him to read or listen to an
argument that treated of rusted old
age and practice. He claimed in his
subsequent argument, which was brief.
that the constitution exempted members
of the legislature from arrest except in
cases of treason, felony and breaches OF
the peace, and that members are eX-
empt from being compelled to defend
suits for debt and on contract. He
claimed, however, that the privilege OF
a legislator is not divinity that hedges
him about, but only to prevent the in
reference with the business of the
state. He would admit that pro-
ceedlngs might be stayed until after
the adjournment of the legislature, but
could not be dismissed. Any other view
would work a great hardship, and would
clog the wheels of commerce and busl-
ness. 1t would defeat the ends of just
ice TO hold that because man is men,
Der of the legislature he cannot be sub
iect to the laws and made defendant i'll
an action. The statute of limitations
would otherwise in many Instances cut
a claimant out of his rights before the
legislature would adjourn or the secur-
ity on a note might be lost because a
man was member of the legislature.
Mr.. O'Brien claimed that in any case
the men are not exempt from summons,
as this is an action growing out Of a
breach of the peace.
Replying to the argument of Mr..
O'Brien. it was claimed by Mr.. Richard
son that counsel did not grasp the situa-
ton, and claimed further that freedom
from service of summons is and has
been the ancient and inalienable right
of legislators.
The argument occupied all the fore
uoon, and when concluded the matter
was taken under adyisement by Judge
Otis.

BUTTE, Mont, March 25.-A dispatch
was recei' al here today by the mayor
from Cove Fishback, of Arkansas,
that reQuis pers were on the way
for Hickey, ed to be the murderer
of John NJ. Clayton, who was killed in
Little Rock four years ago. Hickey is.
now under arrest in this city. and will
be held until the reQuisition arrives.
Frank Hickey has just been tried in this
city for the murder of Officer Jordan a
year ago. Officer Werner captured him
in Denver. While there Werner was
told by witness, who will
be produced, that Hickey had
admitted to him that he was one of the
men who fixed Clayton. Another man,
II. A. Burkhardt, who formerly lived
in st. Paul, is now in this city, and
says that, under promise that he
would not be molested by Arkansas
officials, he, with Hickey and two 9TH
ers, engaged man at a town short
distance from Plummervillo. where
Clayton lived, and Burkhardt drove
them to Clayton's residence, where the
deed was accomplished. Burkhardt
gives many particulars. He says the
revolyers with which the murder was
done were cached in certain place
near the roadway, several miles from
Clayton's residence. One of the re-
yolvers was retained by Hickey.an sold
by him to a conductor. Hickey was ac-
quilted here of the murder of Jordan,
the evidence being purely circum-
stantial, and the jury not considering it
sufficiently strong. When acquitted he
threatened to kill some of the witnesses
against him. Accordingly, he was ar
rested again, and is now held under
bonds of 81, 500 to keep the peace.
