THE NEW DISTRICT STANDS.

The long contest as to the legality
of the new school district organized
in Decoria, as cdistrict 152 was Fri
day settled by the supreme court. The
syllabus is as follows:
State of Minnesota, eX rel. H. w.
Childs, Attorney General, relator,
VS.. School District No. 152, County
of Blue Earth, respondent. Sylla-
bus:
The provision of General Statutes,
1878, chapter SO, section l, that every
school district shall be presumed TO
have been legally organized when it
shall have exercised the franchises
and privileges of district for term
of one year." establishes conclusive
presumption of law in the nature of
statute of limitation.
The term "organized" relates to the
establishment or formation of the
district and not merely to the action
of the voters in electing school Otfic-
ers. Writ quashed Mitchell, j.
This ends the case, and declares the
new district as the legal one.

TROWBRIDGE ARRESTED.

Mr.. Glynn went on no wild goose
chase when he went to Minneapolis
Friday afternoon sin response to the
telegram from g. B. Trowbridge. The
latter was at the depot to meet him
but failed to reach him before they
were separated in the crowd. Both
then went to the address contained
in the telegram, which proved to be a
saloon, and Trowbridge surrendered
himself to the sheriff, not even ask
ing to see the warrant. They return
ed on last nights train and Trow-
bridge is now in the county jail await
inghis preliminary examination, which
will probably take place on Monday.
To FREE PRESS reporter Trow-
bridge stated this morning that he
had nothing to say regarding the mat
ter He had requested the jail officers
not to admit any newspaperreporters,
and seemed anxious to avoid saying
anything for publication.
Mr. Trowbridge made statement
to FREE PRESS reporter
this afternoon. He said: "Some
months ago | was led to believe by
MIR. Wise that he would give me a
position on the Reviep. When his
daily was started was of great assist
ance in securing him subscribers and
did all could to help it along, and
corresponded for the paper. After
election he seemed to have no further
use for me, and he did not give me
the work on the paper which | ex-
pected. l could say good deal more
if cared to. l became respondent
and began to drink and have kept it
up since. 1t was drink that did me
up. When 1 got to Minneapolis 1 saw
what foolish thing l had done in
forging the checks, and l decided /
would like to come back and face the
music. The first / knew of the divorce
proceedings was when l read it in the
St. Paul Globe. The fact that 1 was
out of money did not cause me to
send the telegram / did, as l could
have got work at my trade at Mime
apolis. [ was not under the influence
of liquor when signed the checks"
Mr.. G. E. Wise states that there is
no truth whatever in the statement
that Trowbridge was promised a posi-
tiOn on the Rerie,r. Trowhridpe
was unable to state that any par
ticular position was offered him. He
is painter by trade, and could have
made living at that business.

The Army Bill the Cause OF Much Trouble
An Extremely Bitter Feeling.
BERLIN, May 6.-The excitement at
the reichstag surpasses anything wit
messed there since the last hours before
the dissolution of the septennate in
1857. The government has been scurry-
ing hither and thither for votes and de-
puties have been too uneasy to remain
in the house. The corridors and
Hobbies have been thronged with groups
in eager conversation. The speakers
have talked to empty benches.
Frierher Won Huene has not relaxed
his efforts to help the chancellor de-
spite the action of his party caucus.
He appeared in the lobby in the
afternoon holding in his hand the
copy of new amendment proposed
by Mai. Hinze, the d;ssident radical At
once he was the center of a group of
conservative deputies, upon whom he
exhausted his eloquence to secure their
support of a clause making a man
datory provision for the two-year term
for all branches of the service. The
amendment was rot received enthuSi-
astically by the conservatives. \ few
minutes later DR.. Won Boetticher has
tened into the lobby with large group
of conservatives in tow. He. too, was
trying to make converts to the Hinze
amendment. As he passed with his
following HerrVOn koSsiOl-khsscielslly
leader of the Poles, remarked sneer-
ingly:
There goes Boetticher, offering the
bill for sale to the highest bidder"
The bitterness of the opposition
clericals increases hourly. The leader
of the Bavarian clericals said TO the
Associated press correspondent yester-
day afternoon that il the bin should be
passed with the assistance OF the Prus-
sian clericals, the Bavarian members
would summon Immediately a caucus
in RegenSburg. They would there de-
clare their secession from the clerical
party and esta blish a political organ
izatiOn of Bavarian clericalS who would
cooperate with the Wurtembergers,
Alsatians, Westphalians, Rhinelanders
and friendly Prussians to resist the
over-reaching projects of militaryism.

weekly review of trade says: Had bust
ness in Wall street been unsounder or
unhealthy the collapse of prices dur
the past week might have caused
panic. Nearly all stocks fell. but the

pressed, while the average decline in
all stocks was about 5000 per share for
the week. Cordage fell IS points. Sugar
90 and Manhattan 26. Several failures
occurred without general disturbance,
and the appointment of receivers for
the Cordage was in some sense a relief.
Other speculative markets are on the
whole rather stronger than week ago.
At nearly all points the backward
season and bad weather with slow col
lections give cause OF complaint. At
Pittsburgh the iron trade is still more
depressed. but business in glass is fair
~ good. Trade at Cincinnati is quiet.
but collections are very slow and

land business is fair to quiet and at De-

MANIFESTATION LAW LooPHoLe.
1t Is Disclosed by a Ruling of Superin-
tendent Stump.

tendent stump.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-Superintenden
of immigration Stump has made an inn
portant decision in the case of an APP
peal from the ruling of the commits
sioner of immigration at New York
in the matter of number of Italian
immigrants. The commissioner had re-
fused to allow seven OF them to LAND on
the ground that their landing would be
in violation OF the alien contract labor
law. They appealed to superintendent
Stump. who, on looking up the case.
sustained the commissioner as far az
three of the immigrants were con-
cerned. it appearing that they haS
entered into a contract with a mem
Der of firm in New York before they
left Italy. As to the other men he
found they had not entered into any
contract. but had left Italy on an I'M
derstanding that boss on a railroad
in the United States could furnish en-
piovment to more men if he had them.
There was no contract expressed or i'm
piled in any way, and the men were &C
cordingly admitted. This seems to dis
close a loophole in the contract labor
law through which large numbers OF
laborers can be imported into the coun-
try if there is no agreement of any kind
entered into on the other side, but they
are simply given to understand that
there is work for them TO do on this
side as soon as they come over.
Mr. Stump also made a decision in the
case of the ffty-seven Eskimo, who
were brought into the country under
the terms of the special law permitting
laborers to come in under contract for
the Chicago exposition. They were to
occupy an Eskimo village" in the eX-
position. After their arrival in the
United States, however, they were in
duced to leave the employ of the expo
sition people and set up an Eskimo vii
lage outside of the exposition grounds.
The exposition authorities said the
Eskimo had violated their contract and
were no longer protected by the special
law under which they were admitted,
and asked for their expulsion from the
country.
Mr.. Stump decided that as they had
complied with all the requirements of
the law at the time of their entrance
into the country, their violation of
their contract since that time was a
private matter, with which he had
nothing to do. He has referred the
matter to the United States district at
torney at Chicago for investigation.
