AN EXTENSIVE DEAL.
\ Giganti c Pine Land Transfer
Made Yesterday

The consummation of the biggest
deal in Minnesota pine lands of recent
years is announced today. The nego-
tiations which have been pending for
the transfer of vast stumpage in the
northern part of the state, held by c.
A. Pillsbury & Co. and L. 3. Walker,
TO syndicate of Minneapolis lumber
men, which includes practically ali the
lumber manufacturing firms of the city,
have been brought to a successful close.
This is said to be the largest body of
standing pine in the world, for which
the Frederick Weyerhauser syndicate
was negatioung last summer. The
panic caused those negotiations 20 fall
through at tine time. and now the Min
neapOlis lumbermen have gathered i'll
the prize. Most OF the pine is in the
vicinity of Leech lake, and it will be
brought to Brainerd by the logging rail-
road constructed by the Northern Mill
company. which is now to be pushed into
the heart of the pine country. The logs
will be fl0ated to Minneapolis on the
Mississippi and sawed here. It is esti-
mated that there is enough pine in the
stnmpage involved in the deal to keep
the dozen saw mills here busy for
twenty years. The practical effect of
the deal is to unite the Minneapolis
lumber Interests in one organization, so
faI as the purchase of logs is concerned.
As it was Weyerhauser's scheme to float
the logs down the river past Minneapo-
lis to ST. Paul and lower river points
for saving, the Minneapolis lumbermen
are correspondingly elated that they
have made certain the future OF this
point as the principal log market of the
Northwest. The tract covers thirty
townships, and is estimated to contain
225.000 acres Of pine. The amount of
pine is estimated at 1900, 900. 900 feet,
and the deal involves a matter of So
000,000. None OF the parties to it will
disclose the price per thousand TO be
paid, but ii is plain that it is low fig
ure, and that the effect of the deal Will
be to unity Minneapolis prices. The
firms composing the syndicate are:
Nelson, Tenney & Co., E. w. Backus 81
Co, The Shevlin-Carpenter company,
Carpenter Bros. & Co., Leavitt. Horr Il
Co. and j. W. Day u Co., of Minneapo-
lis. and Welles Bros. of Clinton, 10.
The sale includes the Brainerd and
Minnesota logging road, and the saw
mills. planning mill and entire plant of
the northern Mill company at Brain
erd.

THE INDIANAPOLIL CAPITOL
May Be the Model for the Mime.
sofa Building.

FERGUS FALLS, March 9.-Hon. E. E.
Corliss, of the state capitol commission,
who has been making an extensive trip
through the East in order to get ideas
and suggestions for MinneSota's new
capitol, returned home today after
two weeks absence, during which time
he visited Des MoiDes, To-; Lansing,
Mich; Indianapolis, Pittsburg. Hart
ford and other cities. He was accom-
panied on the trip by Claiming Sea-
bury, of st. Paul; Col. McHenry, of
Paramount: George A. Du Toit. OF
Chaska, and Hon. II. W. Lamberton, of
Winona. who are also members of the
commission. Col.Graves, of Duluth, and
Hon John De Laittre, of Minneapolis,
who are also members of the commits
sion, are in Florida and did not co.
Gov. Nelson, who at first intended to
go, was detained by press of business
and could not get away Mr. Corliss
says that the commission found the In
dianapOlis capitol nearer what they
want than any other building that they
found on the trip. This cost about
s., 100000 which is the amount that the
commission has TO eXpend. The build
ing, while not as handsome as the capitol
at Hartford on the exterior, is much
better adapted to the wants OF this
state. Mr.. Corliss says that every place
visited the officials were able to point
cut at once the defects in the buildings
and the features which were needed.

CALCUTTA, March 9.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from the neighborhood of
the scene of operation of the columns
engaged in Furnishing the Abor tribes
men announce serious losses sustained
10y the British. An additional detach-
ment OF 200 men left Sadiyah yesterday
TO meet the British expedition COM
manded by Capt. Maxwell. which has
for some time past been following up
the retreatlng tTibesmen. According to
native reports, Capt. Maxwell has met
with such determined resistance that he
has not only been unable TO reach Dam-
roh. the town be had for some time past
been endeavoring to capture, but he has
been so hardly pressed by the Abors
that by the losing of a number of men
in killed and wounded ne has been COM
PEELED to retreat, after destroying the
fortified camps which he had occupied
during the forward march of the eXpe-
dition. Another dispatch received from
Cowhatty, the chief town of Assam, an
nOunceS a still more serious disaster tor
the British arms. 1t appears that
detached party, composed of thirty
rifles and four British officers,
had been operating as an escort
to train on its way to Bordax. with
provisions and ammunition for the gar
rison for that town. The detachment
encountered no resistance until it was
far from its base of operations, and then
the tribesmen began TO gather ahead of
it and on its TANKS, keeping up q gall
ing fire, which eventually brought the
detachment TO standstill. For two
days the little detachment kept up a
continuous fight, day and night, with
the tribeSmen, but eventually the little
band of soldiers, surrounded by thou
sands of tribesmen, were killed. The
entire Abor expedition is in a most
critical situation, and in addition to the
troops hurried forward from Sediyah,
reinf0Tcements are being sent with all
possible haste 10 the front, in the hope
of rescuing the Maxwell column. The
exact strength of the column com
manded by Capt. maxwell is net known.
but on Jan. 8 600 men were dispatched
against the Abor tribesmen on the
Ataam frontier, an attack having been
made a few days previously upon a
party of British military police, of
whom seven were killed.

THE BANK WIS NOT ON
To the Fact That Phil scheig Had
Stolen Money.

nal announced Thursday that the buiid-
ing aud ground occupied by the Bank
OF Minneapolis had been transferred to

GLOBE gave the exclusive announce

transfer, it is amusing to see HON the
twilight sheet tries TO wiggte out of the

In speaking of the queer action of the

Clough yesterday said:
The public is misinformed as to the
extent of our knowledge of his short
comings. No one in the bank. at least
no one connected with it now, had the
remotest idea at that time that Scheig
mad stolen any money. He was dis
charged because he had been gambling
and living fast life. But when we
came to.look over the books we could not
discover that he had taken cent from
the bank. Everything seemed to be all
right 1t was then that friends of Phil,
many of them among the solid, substan-
tlal men OF the town. came to US and
wanted TO know why we discharged
him. We told them because he had
been gambling, and they inquired if he
had stolen anything from us. We were
forced TO admit that he had not Phil
promised very faithfully never to play
another game, and business, bankers.
even stockholders in the bank, advised
Us TO give him another chance. OF
course, If we had had the remoteSt idea
that he mad ever stolen anything from
us we would never have restored him to
his place. But by the manipulation of
time certificates he had so covered up
his stealings that even after he had all
seconded 1t took US long time to dis
cover that he had taken anything from
US except the cash carried off by him al
his disappearance. 1t was not until
some lime in November when we be-
gan to learn how much he had taken,
and we had to look over the business of
ten years then to figure it out, which
took great deal of time. We have
been accused of conceallng the facts.
OF course there was time when, in the
interests of our own depositors and in
the interests of depositors of other
banks and the banks themselves. it was
not desirable to make the case any
worse than was necessary. But we
have nothing TO conceal now. and are
only too glad to give the fullest inform

1t is likely that Shadow Maber will

ter. AS has been known for a
long time Abbott and Dobbs signed ar
ticles to meet at the club next Monday
night. The Englishman was allowed to
doctor the articles to suit himself, and
when he finally signed them he had
everything his own way. The men
were to box at l33 pounds. 1t finally
dawned upon the Englishman that he
matched himself to meet a man who
would treat him in the manner that
Corbett treated Mitchell. ne wanted
an excuse 10 back out of his articles, so
declared the match off on the grounds
that he woul1 not box a coIored man.
He also stated that he understood that
DobhS was welter-weight and could
not box under l37 pounds.
Manager Cotharln, OF The Twin City.
telegraphed to Abbott that Dobbs could
get 10 weight, and that he would hold
TO the articles. Then Abbott said lie
was sick. and could not afford to risk
his reputation against a colored man.
Subsequently he agreed to box Dobbs
ten rounnS tn no decision. provided he
was given $500. He would not box him,
however, unless it was understood there
was 10 be no decision. This alone
demonstrates that yellow forms a large
portion of Abbotps makeup.
Manager Cotharln Informed the willy
Brltlsher that he would agree TO no fake
boxing match, and that he must box ac-
cording to the original proposition or
not at all. Last night he sent tele-
gram TO Abbott stating that he would
agree to forfeit $500, all the gate receipts
and render no decision of the contest if
he would appear IN the gymnasium
ready for work Monday night, provided
that Dobbs weighed All ounce over 1873
pounds. 1t remains to be seen what the
frightened so-called champion does in
the matter.
Shadow Maber will, however, be on
hand, and, i'll the event Abbott fails to
put i'll an appearance, will box Dobbs TO
decision. Sporting people know what
this means. Maber is q trifle heavier
than the colored man. but the latter Is
willing 10 take his chances. At all
events, there will be an enterta inment,
and one that will De rememDe cred by
