Peculiar Case.

St. Paul, March 5.-O1.e of the stranc-
est happenings in the history of crime
has Just come 70 light in the criminal
court and the authorities thereof find
themselves confronted by a remarkable
situation. Young John Ryan, who on
Thursday last was found guilty of CON-
plicit,y in the holding up Of Charles Bank
er. turns cut to be innocent. He was con-
victed solely on account of the strong re-
scmblance he bears to his brother Jerry.
Thursday afternoon County Attorney
Butler got an inkling of. the facts, and,
accordingly, when Ryan came up for
sentence Mr.. Butler asked that the SEN
tence be delayed pending an investigation.
il dge Willis granted the request. Ryan's
brother Jerry has surrendered himself
aud confesses that it was he and not his
brother who committed the crime. John
will be given a formal trial and be dis
CHI, rged and'Jerry will plead guilty.

O. ecutive board of the United Mine
Workers of America will tomorrow issue
a circular through President John Nc
Bride and Secretary and Treasurer T.
McBryde, in which all miners now on a
strike are advised to return to work. The
circular says that Mt the meeting of the
national executive board held Feb. q,
% and March l, the present deplorablc
condition of mining affairs was discussed
and resolutions were adopted to the eff
feet that the present would be al in
opportune time for action of such a
character, as it would necessitate a stop
page of work in any IL or more com
peting districts. The board calls upon all
mine workers to hold themselves in readi-
ness and to prepare for a general strike
for. higher wages and an improved con-
dition at as early a date as the national

CeIcstialn Win,

Grand Forks, N. D., March 6.-Ordi-
nance No. 3 of this city, entitled IAN
ordinance for licensing %laundries,' has
been held void by Judge Tenpleton, Of
the district court, in a proceeding to en-
force the same. The ordinance provides
that no person not n citizen of the United
States, or has not declared his intention
to become such, can operate any laundry
within the city of Grand Forks. The
ordinance is aimed at number of Chinese
who carry ON the laundry business j.:
this city and are unable to become citi-
zens of the United States. Judge Tenn
pleton held that the ordinance was void
as being in conflict with the amendment
to the constitution of the United States
providing that no state shall make or en-
force any law which shall abridga the
privileges and immlnities of citizens of
the United States or deny to any per-
SCI: within it's jurisdiction legal protection
Under the laws. 1t has also been held
void as ] ling in conflict with the treaty
with China, placing the Chinese OH the
sumo footing as to legal protection as
the most favored nation having treaty re-
lations with the United Stttts. The city
council, which meets this evening. will
be asked to- repeal this ordinance.

Here's am Experiment.

Fcrman, N. D., March 5.-The town
ship elections in. North Dakota this week
are of special interest, inasmuch as the
new law providing for courts of concili-
atior will go into effect for the first time.
This law was passed by the last legis-
lature and is founded on a system in
vogue in Norway. Lawyers are barred
from practicing in this court, and the Of
fee of justice of the peace is practically
abolished by providing for the election Of
a board of four conciliators in each town
ship who shall hear minor cases and en-
deavor to effect a settlement Of all cases
without proceeding to law. The com
pensation of these c%onciliators is fixed at
81 per day during the hearing of a case,
and farmers and business men are not
tumbling over each other in their anxiety
to serve on these boards.

Will Contest.

Albert Lea. Mimi. March 6.--1'hc will
of the late Thomas BurLctt has been adj
mitted to probate, but an appeal will be
taken to rhe district court. Rurdett
was a bachelor and had no relatives here,
and after his death there Wa much sur
prise exhibited when it was found he
had bequeathed his property, amounting
to from $1,000 to $4,000, to two of
mis- ncighbors. The will was drawn and
executed only a few hours prior to Bur
dett's death, and it is claimed by at
torneys who represent a sister in England
that he was not competent to execute
such an instrument. Deceased lived in
the southern part of the county, and ut
the hearing in the probate court most of
the people from that vicinity We're on
hand to hear the proceedings. There will
doubtless be a bitter fight.

STUMBLING ON SUGAR
THE SENATE COMMITTEE LABORs
WITH THE TARIFF BILL.
All Points of Difference Have been
Settled With the Exception al
SuRar-Tux Of War between the
Growers and the RcIlnera.

Washington, March 6. = The Wilson
tariff bill has been the subject Of ai
earnest consultation among the senators
t.. day. 1t has reached IL certain stage
Of completeness, and yet MAY be thrown
out of gear by u single article. nat
article is sugar, and it was generally nh-
dersfood that if a definite agreemel.
could be reached on this article 1T would
then be possible to agree upon everything
else, and that the bill could be reported
without delay. 1t is understood that ny
mutual concessions and coll
situations the demands made by those
Democratic senators who opposed the
bill in the form in which it was first pre-"
sented have been met and Tentatively
agreed upon; hut even these agreements
are subject to the approval OF the treas
ury department and the needs of the 0 v
eminent in the matter of revenue. Sec
rotary Carlisle has been with the mem
beers of the committee most of the day to
discuss and compare changes. but, whlle
the 81 concessions have been made and
the members of the finance con mlttee
end the Directing senators have found Il
middle ground, there yet remains the
n ctter of sugar, and the difficulties sur
rounding an agreement upon this are the
81 eatest that the tariff makers have to
contend with. The Louisiana senators
have one plan which does not meet with
favor by the refiners. The plan of the
r%efiners is Objectionable to the Louisiana
senators. A suggestion has been made
that an nd valoren tax be laid, and the
refiners say this would afford them no
protection. Some senators, looking to-
ward concession, have said that If an ad
valorem rate is not just to refiners, a
d%iferential be made in their favor. This
is %stubbornly resisted by those who
claim that an ad valorem rate would af-
ford them a just protection, as the high
er price of the refined sugar would neces-
state n greater tax when imported than
the raw sugars. 1t appears also that the
proposition for an increased tax on
whisky is mixed up with the proposed
duty on sugar. If the latter is agreed
to. the necessity for an increased whisky
tax disappears. For this reason those
who have been insisting upon increases
in the whisky tax are not favorable to a
sugar tax.

Eau Claire, Wis, March 6. - Mild
temperature, accompanied by copious
showers, has threatened the logging in.
te1ests seriously. Reports indicate that
in many localities in the logging regions
the roads have commenced to go ia
pieces, but that there is no likelihood OF
n general breaking up just yet. OPP.
orators generally will hold on until the
last minute, hoping for another cold snap
as to quit now would entail Il heavy loss
to many. The Northwestern Lumber
c%ompany's camps OH the Eau Claire have
broken up and 200 or BOO men came
down OH the Wisconsin Central and
Omf.ha roads from the Chippewa pincrics
to-day.

crrk turned up again It the Whitc
House, and. taking advantage OF the

of the cares of state. At o o'clock, an
hour before the White House is opened
to the public, a wild-eyed, bearded conf
monty dressed man, about fifty years
of age, appeared ut the entrance. and told
the Waterman that he had come to take
charge of the house. He said he had a
revelation from God, and had been d.
rected to come here. take charge OF the
White House and turn it over to the
Jews. The Democrats had to go out;
the Republicans could not get in; but the
third party, to which it belonged, would
predominate. The man was not violent,
but he was very positive and insisted.
While he was talking Il telephone call
brought the police patrol wagon to the
door and the man was arrested and
locked up in the Third precinct station.
He gave the name of Abraham Julius
Kisler, and said he had come from Balti-
m ore.
