UTRAGEo us C~RIMINALITY.
at the Feet Of the Lumber
Thieves.

ST. CLOUD, MINI Sept. S.-There
is an intimation that the state
senatorial committee, which has
been investigating the frauds
against the state in cutting pine
from school lands, will be able to
show astonishing evidence not
only that the timber pirates APP
propriated millions Of dol
lars, worth of lumber belonging to
the state, but in trying to cover up
the stealings they started the fires
which resulted in the terrible loss
of life and property in the pine re-
gions of Kanabie, Carlton and other
counties in the pine belt. The
charge is the lumber men fired the
lands they improperly cleared to
destroy the stumps and rem
der the measurement Of stump
age impossible and thereby shut
off any suits the commission might
attempt to bring against them.
In one of the chief hotels in st.
Cloud a scout employed by the
commission to ferret out the cases
Of lumber thieves, has secured
sworn evidence that millions of
feet Of lumber have been stolen,
and as soon as it had been
cut, the lumbermen in
structed the employees to burn
the ground over and "make a good
clean Job Of it," This is a possible
explanation of most of the fires
that swept this region, for lumber
men, in cutting the timber leave
great piles OF "toppings" and the
torch in such a dry season as
this. starts a tremendous fire
that eats the stumps from
which the lumber has been
cut. The lumbermen in
these fires made too "clean a job"
of it. The fires have spread over
10000 square miles and destroyed,
nobody knows how many, hun
dreds of human lives, and devour-
ed S2O,OOO,000 worth of property.

WHISKY TRUST.
The President Says You Can Hear
Almost Anything in New
York.


York.
CHICAGO, H., Sept. 81. B.
Greenh utt, president of the Whis-
ky Trust, arrived last evening and
left for his home i'm Peoria. He
~professed surprise when shown a
telegram from New York that the
trust stock was heavy on the
strength of a rumor that the
trust was about to appoint a re-
ceiver.
"That is certainly news to
me,n he said, "but almost any ru-
NOR is likely to occur in the New
York market. Two weeks ago a
similar report was published and
was calculated to hurt our efforts
to borrow money to lift u spirits
in bond. There is not a bit of truth
in the report"
Concerning the intention OF the
trust to test liability to pay the
20 cents increase on spirits in bond
Mr.. Greenhutt said: ave are
only a small factor in the aggregate
interested. We hold but four mil
lion gallons of the total Of 100000
gallons. We will pay the tax
under protest and will combine
with regular whisky distillers in
testing the law. We hold that
having given bond to pay ninety
cents taxes on spirits in bonded
warehouses that no increases OF
tax can affect that under the peri
cd for which we gave bond" %

LATE TELEGRAPH NEWS.
TRADE WITH JAPAN.
UNITED STATES CONSUL McIVER
TALKS.
The Present Time is a Very oppor-
tune One to Extend Our
Business.

WASHlNGTON, D'S., oepC' o'-Iho
state department is in receipt of a
report from U. S. Consul McIver, of
Kanagawa, Japan, upon the man.
ufacture of cotton fabrics from
American cotton, pointing out the
great opportunity now afforded the
United States to open up direct
trade with Japan. Mr.. McIver
says: "The manufacture of cotton
fabric is one Of the largest indus
tries of Japan and is growing more
than any other. So important is
this industry that, although the
last session of the Imperial
Diet (National Legislature) was
very short, the import duty
which the Imperial government
collects on raw cotton was REMIT
ed. Since July l, 1894, raw cotton
has been admitted free of duty and
this, in the face of the fact that un-
der the treaties in force, the gov
eminent is prohibited from collect
ing more than 8 per cent on any
article and it's revenue from import
taxes are consequently extremely
limited. Japanese manufacturers
are each year improving the grade
Of their cotton fabrics and are thus
demanding a large proportion of
our cotton which is the only long
staple cotton which can be
used in their machines econom-
ically, yet by far the greater
portion of this large supply of
American Scotton is purchased
in Liverpool and London, but a
small portion Of it being imported
direct from our ports. The SUP
posed explanation of this peculiar
condition is that the ocean rates
from England to Japan are much
less than the combined railway
and ocean rates from an inland
American port to Japan. If these
statements are true our people are
losing the selling commission or
profit of the maritime insurance
and the freightage on a product
which is distinctively an American
staple and one necessary to the fac
tories here. In view Of these facts
and remembering that the market
is not one that is to be opened up
and developed, but is already made,
and that the demand for the Ameri-
can product is not only great but
increasing, it might be possible for
A,, O-oot ontfon i~nfaraStG ACTING
in harmony with u trans-contt-
mental railway lines, to establish
direct trade which would, even on
a much lower freight rate, swell
the profits of the railways and
greatly increase the general profits
arising from the American foreign
trade. We might thus if successful
gain direct control Of a trade that
would not only turn legitimate
profits into American channels
but a much broader and far
reaching advantage would be
gained by giving us an indepen-
dent market. thus materially
weakening and ultimately des-
troying the right which Liverpool
Yields in fixing the price of cotton
in our markets on the theory that
she controls the only market for
our product" Mr.. McIver adds
that the present time is a very OPP
perfume one to extend u trade
with Japanese points to the signif-
icant effect that during last year
our importation from that country
exceeded $17, 100000 while u eX-

LOCKED OUT,
And the Trades Threaten more
Strikes.
mOr

SGAAhOos
CHICAGO, Ills, Sept. S.-A part of
the employees Of five ad ditional
reported at headquarters of the
Cornice Workers Union that they
had been locked out and that men
employed by two other firms were
ordered to take their places by
their union officers.
1t was said that the full effect of
the order of the employers to lock
out the men would not be known
until tonight when all the men
will have reported to the officers Of
the union. The important proceed
ing in connection with the strike
was the meeting of the business
agents of the building trades coun-
Gil. At this meeting the reports Of
the various unions declared that
they would support the cor
nice makers and that no men,
Der of their organization would
work on a building where
uon union cornice men were en-
ployed. In consequence Of this
decision it is believed that the
trouble vi spread to a considerable
extent during the next few days.
Union men say that there is no
building of any Importance in the
city that is not controlled by the
organizations of the city and that
when non union cornice workers
are put to work the other trades
will stop work.

BITHM1NouS STREETS
A Valuable suggestion Made by a
Citizen of Fresno.

A Valuable suggestion Made by a
Citizen of Fresno.
A Fresno gentleman who was in the
city yesterday, while in conversation
with some citizens, gave some informa-
tion that il may be well for the city au-
thorities to take notice of. AS is we'll
known, Fresno has some miles of btu
minous streets, and has gained expert
ence.
''Your people," said he, "are not going
to work in the best way to preserve your
new streets. Dry sweeping does not
clean them as they should be cleaned.
They should be sprinkled several times
daily, so as to wash the dirt down to the
cutters. The wagons from the other
streets bring great deal of dust and grit
upon them.
Now, if it is allowed to remain there,
and more especially in warm weather,
when the bitumin gets soft, it must be
ground down into it continually. and by
and by its cohesive power will be lost
and in short time it will go to pieces.
Y You can readily understand what would
happen to putty if you kept mixing sand
into it. 1t would not be long before it
would lose its consistency and fall to
pieces.
what you need is to keep the dirt and
grit washed off the bitumin so that it will
be got rid of. Watering it plentifully will
also keep it from getting warm and soft
in the hot weather, and will keep down
the exhalations from the ground under
meath. If this be done, it will not only
add greatly to the endurance of your
streets, but also to the comfort of the in

The examination of William Jones Tor
Howard) for an attempt to commit rob-
berry on S. ]. Loop was held in the Police
Court yesterday.
Major Loop testified that aboutS s o'clock
two men stopped him and said some
thing to him. and when he stepped aside
Jones caught him by the coat collar and
told HIM to stop. He struck Jones several
times with his cane, when both of them
ran away. He pursued Jones and called
for assistance, when man stopped Jones
and he took him into custody and turned
him over to the police. When he told
Jones that he was arrested for trying to
rob him the latter said "Well. you have
no Witnesses"
Jones denied any attempt at robbery,
and said he only asked for fifteen cents TO
pay for bed with. He denied that he
had said that he had pull in this town
and that they could not convict him. He
came here from Stockton with the Indus
trial Army, but LETT them.
The court held him to answer, with bail
fixed at $1,000.

work at 81 a day, supposing, of course.
that he would Jump at the offer.
speaking, he jumped stiff-legged. ae
would have done so literally, perhaps,
had it not involved considerable physical
exertion.
He contented himself, however. with
declaring that he would rather starve
than work for a dollar day-in this
country. Nothing less than 81 could
tempt him to soil his hands or strain his
muscles with manual labor.
What would this man say to an offer OF
half dollar day to break stone for the
city or county? 1t is evident that he is
not looking for work, however. He is
simply engaged in political movement.
