Judge Jamison today will file his de-

lars and the reputation of Henry ID.
StOcker, the Minneapolis attorney, took
thlrty-siX days for trial and argument,
aid consumed more time than any other
case ever tried before a Hennepin
county judge.
The decision will be in the nature of
victory for either side. The sub
stance of the decision is that no allega-
ton of fraud can be maintained against
Mr.. Stocker and that neither he nor his
assistants were guilty of conspiracy.
On the contrary, the decision holds that
Mr.: Stocker and his law partner, George
l.. Matchan, did more for Thompson
and his Interests than the rules of prac-
tice required. On the other hand, Judge
JamiSon will hold that a portion of the
stock was purchased by Stocker, who
appeared as Thompson's attorney in the
original suit, while he was acting as
trustee, and that Thompson can regain
that portion of the stock by paying at
torney's fees and other expenses and
satisfying the original judgments.
All OF the other defendants are Sc.

portion of the stock held by Stocker is
not affected by the decision. While

CLAIM FOR $4,000.
The States Suit Against Powers &
Dwyer

Recently suit was brought in the
Ramsey county courts by the state of
Minnesota against Powers & Dwyer,
lumbermen, of this city, in which a
claim for $4,000 damages, alleged to
have resulted from the taking of logs in
section 16, township Sc, and range %,
1tasca county, is set up.
The answer to the complaint was
completed yesterday by A. Y. Merrill,
the attorney in the case, and it will be
flied within few days. In the original
complaint it is alleged that the firm cut
logs from the land designated, upon
which they never made returns to the
state. This allegation is denied in toto.
and the claim is set up that the firm
acted in good faith throughout the
transaction. In 1890 a contract was
given to Powers, member of the firm,
permitting him to cut timber on the
land designated at the rate of 81. 10 per
1000 feet, and another permit allowing
the firm TO cut timber on an adjacent
section was issued the same year, the
rate to be paid for the stulnpage being
fixed in the second contract at 50. rs per
1000. The answer alleges that this con-
tract is set aside and taken no notice of
whatever, and the state seeks to recover
in the present suit for all of the timber
cut, which has already been paid for at
the rates named in the contract Not
content with asking for damages
amounting to the sum stated in the con.
tract, the state, however, in its COM
plant, asks for damages at the rate of
SIS per 1000, an amount greater than the
logs would bring when floated down to
the city ready to cut.
The claim is also set up that the
blame, if any is attached to the trans-
action, should be borne by the persons
responsible, the state auditor and his
assistants, who made the contract, and
not by innocent parties who acted in
good faith.
One of the first moves of the defense
will be to ask for change OF venue to
the ltasca courts, which, if granted,
will give them a decided advantage
in fighting the matter. If the
case goes into the Ramsey county
courts, it is probable that it
will be of a sensational character. The
defse Will ate mpt to show that the
chages in this specific instance are
made for political purposes, and that it
is not intended that the case shall be
won. An effort will be made to snow
that the suit was gwen widespread
publication through the press, in order
to create sentiment favorable TO GER
tain of the state Republican nominees
for Office this fall.

New Minister Says His Country Is
Wcll Prepared for War.

v
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Minister
Kurino. Japanese minister, is keeping
very sharp eye on the newspaper dis
patches from Seoul and Yoke hama. He
said last night that ne could not believe
all Of them were correct, for there was
an understanding between him and his
government that when there was SCI
rious fighting he was to be apprised at
once.

but since my arrival have not re-
ceived any.

any either.

some of the American people that 1 am

of no guns, money or men. We
have a standing army of $4,000,
with reserves sufficient to make

Even in Japan we have far more appli-
cants for places to fight than we re-
Qulre. Our people, too. are offering
money to the government, but we do
not need and steadily refuse it. Since
my arrival, number of Japanese aud
others have offered their services, but /
have explained the real condition and

Is to move slowly, but it Is discovered,

not patriotic. 1t is Tartar dynasty, and
does not care if the country does go to

Chinese would not stand by China. 1t
is the same all over that country"
Minister Kurino will leave tonight for
