WINONA, Mimi, July 3.-The battle
royal between Surveyor General Null
len and the lumbermen is apparently on
in good shape, and his forcible attach
ment of the logs at West Newton has
developed an unique situation. Messrs.
NJ. q. Norton, L. S. Youmans, Judge
Thomas Wilson and Attorney Thomas
Simpson returned from West Newton
this morning, and report ito them)
very unsatisfactory state of affairs ex-
iSting. When Gen. Mullen took pos
session or the logs at West Newton he
took matters into his hands, and with
out any process of law placed posse of
twelve men on fourteen brails of logs
containing $50, 900 feet of lumber. These
logs were tied up about five miles below
the West Newton works, near Mime
iska. They had passed out of the
hands of the Minnesota Boom company,
and were no longer its property, be-
longing to the John Paul Lumber Com
pany of La Crosse, and Lindsay &
armed his men with guns, which they
kept discharging at intervals through
out the night, evidently with the intent
to intimidate any boats which might
approach.
Next day the steamer Jessie Bill at
tempted to take away some of the logs
for Lindsay & Phelps, but the boats
crew was successfully repulsed by the
posse, and the boat had to continue OF
up 10 West Newton to secure raft. A
telegram was then sent to Winona, and
in response thereto the above-named
officials hurried to the scene of action.
They we're obliged to go to Wabasha to
confer with Gen. Mullen, but without
satisfactory results. The lumber
men, desiring to obtain a peace
fered to give the general ample
security for the payment of his fees at
such time as the courts should decide
that lie is legally entitled to collect the
same. This proposition did not suit the
general. as he does not care to wait so
long for his fees. He refused to accede
thereto, or take his men off the brails of
logs.
The attorneys for the lumbermen
state that, the logs being private prop
erty on which the general has no claim,
his forcible possession thereof is en-
tirely contrary to law. They think he
adopted his present course of action
because he knew that under the statutes
he could not get lien on any of the
property in the booms.
The plan of procedure which the lum-
bermen have decided upon is for the
owners of the logs to take possession of
their own property, and if any resist
ance is offered by this posse of men
Gen, Mullen will be held responsible
for damages, if he has not already laid
himself open to a suit by the first re-
pulse of the steamer Jessie Bell If the
posse attempt to use their arms, they
will do so at their own peril, and will be
held strictly responsible under the law.

WASHINGTON, July 5. = Secretary
Hoke Smith will arrive in ST. Paul next
Monday morning, where he will be the
guest of President James J. Hill, of the
Great Northern road. Possibly two
days will be spent in looking over the
Twin Cities, after which, with Presi-

over the Great Northern to Helena an
the Yellowstone park. The return will
be over the Northern Pacific. About
ten days will be spent OH this trip.
The plan is for the party to pass
through the lovely park region
In daylight, arriving at Grand Forks in
the morning, where few hours will be
spent. On the return trip, Fargo Will
be similarly honored. Originally Sec
retary Smith had planned to spend six
weeks on this trip, but the early call for
the meeting of congress has made a
shortening Of the trip necessary. AL
though Southerner, the secretary of
the interior is a great friend of the
Northwest, and he proposes to learn
something about this section with which
his office has SO much to do. He had
planned to leave Washington about the
middle of this month and go direct
10 Chicago. From the Windy City
= he was to go to st. Paul and from there
on to Helena as the guest of President
Hill. AT Helena he was to meet the

and with him to view the sights at that
interesting spot. After this he pro-
posed visiting the various Indian res
ervatlons as far South as California if
possible. Mrs. Smith and the children

COINAGE CHAIRMANsHIP.
Some Doubts as to Whether
Bland VIII Succeed Himself

Bland Will Succeed Himself
WASHINGTON, July Sowing to the
fact that betterment of the national
finances will be the first and gravest
problem to be confronted, particular in
terest attaches to the house committee
on coinage of the next congress. An ad-
verse committee would be III position
10 very considerably obStruct business
and worry the advocates of the repeal
OF the Sherman law. Whether or not
Mr.. Bland will be reappointed chair
man, no one appears to know to GER
talnty. His record as an earnest
and unswerving friend of silver
is well known, and his Democracy
is unQuestioned. When a speaker is
reelected 1t has generally been his Gus
tom to reappoint the old chairmen. The
doubt in the case of MIR. Bland arises
from the fact that Mr.. Crisp is we'll
known to be in thorough sympathy with
the presidents ideas of legislative
needs, and may hesitate to appoint to
so important a committee a man so
thoroughly committed to an opposite
view. In case Speaker Crisp should de-
eide not to give Mr.. Bland the chair
manship, the next in line Of direct sue
cession would be Representative Ira
cey, who is a gold standard man. Those
who know both men freely assert that
the elevation of Mr.. Tracey to the COIN
age Craftsmanship would be especially
gratifying to the executive.

PITTSBURG. July 3.-The Homestead
cases-that is, the indictments for riot.
conspiracy, treason and murder-against
the eX-strikers will not be nolle pressed,
as were the indictments against the Car
negie officials and the Pinkertons, but
the counsel for the prosecution and de-
fense have agreed to allow them to go
over to the September term of court for
final disposition. 1t is understood that
pleas of nolo contendere will be en-
tered. A suspension of sentence
will be asked by the defense
and it will not be opposed by the prose
cution. 1t will likely be granted in the
conspiracy and treason cases, When
this has been done, District Attorney
Clarence Burleigh will bring the mur-
der and treason indictments to the at
tention of the court, and will say that
the commonwealth has Investigated the
charges thoroughly, and is satisfied that
no conviction can be had under them.
He will ask the court to make an order
directing the district attorney to take
no action in the matter of prosecuting
them until further order of the court.
This will finally end the famous cases.
