Monday afternoon Northern Pacific of.
ficials at st. Paul received word from the
division superintendent at Livingston,
Mont, stating that he feared trouble.
and damage to company property, as
threat had been made that if the North
ern Pacific attempted to run that over
land train through Livingston, the
shops would be burned. General Man
ager Hendricks reply was short and
sweet. He wired: "Tell those people if
the Northern Pacific shops are injured
they will never be rebuilt at Livingston"
This was enough,..f for Livingston could
not afford to lose the shops. The train
has passed Livingston-and the shops
are still intact.

Rather Vivid,

Deputy Marshals Daggett and Hurst
came over from Mandan Monday, and
returned to that city early Tuesday, hav-
ing passed the night in Bismarck.
Marshal DagRett reports the cavalry in
control of the railroad property in Man
dan. Martial law pevails in the yards,
and the troops have them patrolled by
regular pockets. The troops also have
charge of the bridge, and four Of them
are on guard day and night.
Deputy Hurst had an experience with
a mob Of about forty, a short distance
this side of Mandan, which was vivid
enough to last an ordinary man for some
time. With six or eight deputies, he
was on his way to the bridge, to guard
it, and his men were walking to their
destination, when the mob already
spoken Of emerged from the brush along
the track, and surrounded his party.
"There were about forty OF them
in ALL" said Marshal Hurst last
evening, land they were armed with
Winchester rifles, shotguns and re-
volvers. They surrounded us in q sort
of semi-oircle, their mon being quite
a distance away from us, and about ten
feet apart. When they surrounded us,
we were covered with rifles and shoteuns
and it was plain to be seen that they
meant business. Their leader told us he
wanted to see the leader of our party,
and when I responded, he said he wanted
us to give up "Scab" Martin, who, he
said, was in our party. What they
wanted to do with Martin was to hang
him, and one Of their number was on
horseback with rope for that purpose.
Martin was not with us, but had gone on
with the train which passed through on
Sunday, and they had mistaken one Of
our party, Harris, from Fargo, for him.
! told them so, and told them also that
Harris could prove to them that he was
not the man. Then they demanded our
guns, and I told them that my men.
would surrender their guns until their
crowd had examined Harris, provided
they would return there il the
found he was not the man thew
wanted. Otherwise they could not have
them. This they agreed to, and Harris
andI went to their party, and proved to.
them that they we're mistaken. We we're

CROP BULLETIN,
County Reports Concerning the Crop
Conditions for Week Ending
July 8, 1894.

lowing tOsthe non-arrival OF mail at
Bismarck from June 28th to July 9Th, no
reports concerning the condition of crops
we're received at this office, and conse-
quently no bulletin was issued for the
week ending July I'd, as there was no
data on which to base it, nor any way of
sending it out had it been published.
From the few reports received this
week, it seems as though the prospects
were very good for all farm prodacts in
the eastern part of the state where there
have been heavy rains and we'll dis
tributed showers. In the central and
southern portion, however, it is said that
the wheat crop Is almost all destroyed,
mainly by the drouth, but aided to some
extent by the Russian thistle and the
gopher.
Corn and potatoes are doing we'll in all
sections, and the small fruit crop was
never better. The rains have helped the
grass very materially, and an average
crop of hay is expected. Potato bugs
have made their appearance in the north
east part Of the state, but have not done
much damage yet. Gardens are in good
condition, as far as is known.
The late sown wheat is beginning to
head, and millet lie in bloom in the east
ern and southern counties. Haying has
commenced in all sections, and is being
pushed to completion as rapidly as pos
sible."

THIRTY MILLIONS.
Speculation Regarding the Population of
London Half Century Hence.

Speculation Regarding the Population OF
London Half Century Hence.
The London county council has been
studying into the growth of that city,
whose population seems to be decreas-
ing, because the people are moving
into the suburbs. The investigation
has brought out some remarkable
figures, says the Westminster Budget.
If we do not add any more to the popu-
lation than the amount per decade that
has been added since 1881 it seems that
we should have population in 1e41 OF
close upon 10000. 900. If we allow for
a growth at the rate of the natural in
crease Of births over deaths there viii
be nearly Il 900 in London in that
year. If we reckon that London will
grew at the average rate of the last
three decades we shall be over $4,000,
600, but If inner London and outer Lon
don go on together growing at the rate
they have been growing for the last
three tens Of years we are to expect a
London population in 1871 of trifle
over 1850, 600. If we look at the mat
ter in another way and ask what popu-
lation greater London viii contain
when it has attained throughout the
mean density of well-lInown areas,
we get the following appalling e,llcu-
lation:
II greater London were only peo-
pied as densely as Hampstead, it
would contain a population of 49,
600, 600
If it were peopled on an average as
densely as Fulham is now, the popula-
tion would be 90, ,0O0, 900.
If it were peopled at the rate of st.
Georges, Hanover square, the total
would rise to $4,000. 900.
Whitechapel is three times as dense
ly peopled as st. Georges itself The
moral is obvious.

PROTECTION FOR THE SALMON.

Necessary in Order tn Save n Pacific
Coast Industry from determination.
There is a movement on foot TO pro-
tect the salmon industry of the Pacific
coast. for ii is asserted there is i'm
minent danger of the determination of
the salmon unless something be done.
A bill has been sent to congress. and a
petition to both houses Of that body in
favor Of the bill is being largely circu-
lated in Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia. 1t seems, according 10 the
Seattle Telegraph, that the favorite
habitat OF the salmon of the Pacific
coast is the waters Of Alaska, and the
salmon fishing OF that territory has be-
come one of the most important indus
tries of the United States. In twelve
years there were packed in Alaska
4,156,7 cases of salmon, the total
value Of which at the lowest average
price was s1G,627, ,OO4. There are in
Alaska, between 55 degrees and &C de-
grees north latitude. thirty-four can
neries. which have been constructed
II . cost Of SIS, 600 to $50, 900 each.
The present difficulty is that, al
though tie number of canneries IN
Alaska has largely increased, the ont
put from the earlier locations has
actually diminished during the last
three years. The reason for this de-
crease is that there are fewer salmon,
the streams which are their favOrite
haunts having been fshed out on the
one hand and so guarded on the other
with nets, fish racks ard other appli-
ances that the salmon cannot get up
stream 10 their spawning grounds.
The petition alleges that TO maintain
and preserve this great industry it is
necessary that congress should pass a
law for the regulation of the salmon
fisheries Of Alaska, and there should
be no unfavorable response TO snch a
petition. There viii be some individ-
uals, perhaps, who viii object 10 the
regulation Of the fisheries, but they
VIII belong to the class which always
kills the goose that lays the golden
eggs u Is alleged that any sensible
proprietor OF salmon fishery and can
merry in Alaska would rather have his
take of fish United for a few years
than to have his business ruined en-
tirely. as viii be the case unless the
salmon be adequately protected by

Wonderful Feat of n Chinaman ~ a MIL.
tia Examination.
4 Hanl1ow correspondent gives an
account Of the discovery of u young
samson a. the militia examinations.
There were about nine hundred can
didates, of whom sixty-three gained
the degree Of promoted men. They
are tried in archery, lifting, sword and
spear exercise, etc, also in writing.
The senior wrangler was a young man,
only twenty-five years of age, from
Kinhua- His particular success wasen
lifting. and his strength is estimated
at eight hundred eatties (the cattle is
about one and one-haif pounds),
though, really they say it is only six
hundred catties. This is tested by
lifting a square stone Of three hundred
catties weight as high as the breast.
This man not only lifted it to that
height, but gave il little toss up and
caught it as il came down.
The governor was astonished and
asked him TO repeat the feat. The
young man suppOsing that he was sus-
peetsd of having some secret help,
threw of his coat. exposing his bare
body, and repeated the feat 20 the en-
tire satisfaction of the judges.
Though in archery and other practices
his skill was not conspicuous, he was
awarded the first place on the list of
successful candidates, and the gov
ernOr did him the honor of asking who
had been his teacher and trainer. lie
replied that il was his father, who was
himself a military officer and had
served at Ningpo and elsewhere.

Deceptive Appearance, In Size. OF tho Fish

A few days ago a party of anglers
visited the Matching house of the state
fish commission at Cold Spring Har-
Dor. Long Island. and were estimating
the weight of the larger trout which
were swimming at their feet. says the
New York Sun. One very large speei-

.I'il split the difference with each Of
you and take both figures that the fish
will weigh over and under six pounds" "
said third.
Just then the superintendent, Mr.
Fred Mather, came out of the building,
and at once they appealed to him In
chorus: Major. how much viii that
fish weigh?"
''About eight pounds, was the reply.

EoeistV Wome n No Longer Able to Eeel
Up With Their Correspondence.
A great deal IS said about how let
ter-writing IS lost art, and lovers OF
bygone days take great pleasure and
pride in pointing to the numberless
epistles written in the past generation
and then contrasting them with the
little scrappy notes scrawled in the
very illegible handwriting Of to-day.
Within the last few years the utter ina
possibility of any society woman at=
tempting TO keep up her own cOrres
spondence has been thoroughly proved.
and the New York Herald thinks that
of all the fields of employment open
to women that of private secretary is
most desirable and one of the most re-
munerative. II IS a post which re-
quires business ability, great tact,
clear handwriting and a thorough
knowledge of composition The
schools and colleges are beginning to
realize how important it is to train
women TO Gil these very positions, for
every year sees the demand increasing.
Some women require that their secre.
taries shall write a hand precisely iiks
their own, so that notes of most intt
mate character can be answered by
the secretary without giving offense
as would probably be the case should
the receiver of note for an instant
fancy that anyone than the person u
whom the letter had been sent had
answered it. OF course this position re
ouires the most absolute trust, for the
secretary is of necessity intrustec
with the most intimate affair
of her employer. The world has eer
tainly changed since the tins when il
was generally believed and universally
stated that DO woman could keep q sc,
cret, for many are the cases in this
city where another person has charge
of my lady's private affairs and never
has there been known time as yet
when such confidence has been abused.
The duties of a secretary are manifold
and require considerable knowledge Of
society and its requirements She must
know to whom cards should be sent,
must keep up visiting list and be sure
when invitations for receptions and
dances are sent out that none Of the
