Ma diEan Is Sentenced.

New Ulm, MIMI, Jan. 3O.-Late yes
terday afternoon sentence was passed on
Michael NJ. Madigan, convicted of per-
Jury. Madigan was on hand, nervous IS
ever, and he moved about the room with
restle ssness that was painful. His at
torney made a motion for On arrest OF
Judgment and argued it on the ground
that the indictment was bad in that it
alleged no material allegations. The mo-
ton was denied AID the judge called
Madigan to the bench and administered
the oath. He was asked what was his
business before he was convicted, and
replied that he was an attorney at law.
he gave his age as forty-four and said
that he never learned any mechanical
trade. When asked if he had anything
to say why sentence should not be passed
on bim he replied that he had not. His
attorney, however, pleaded that the
judge should temper sentence and justice
with mercy, ard when he had finished
the judge pronounced the sentence 81
three years and three months at hlrd
labor in the state prison at Saltwater
The sentence is a severe one, but the
judge evidently took into consideration
the station of the prit oner. His attorney
then asked for a day on which to argue
a motion for a new trial, and Feb. z
| was fixed by the court. Madigan will
| be at liberty until then under $5,OOt
bonds, and the execution of sentence
has also been stayed until that date
The defense is clearly paving the wa.
for an appeal to the supreme court.
| Redwood Falls, Jan. 30. - Yesterda
morning M. M. Madigan handed in hi
resignation as county attorney to Chair
man Philbrick, of the county board, t
take effect Feb. 1. There were no cor
ditions affixed to the resignation. Th
board will call special meeting to nam

TauEht IL Lesson.

Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 30.-This has
been one of the most exciting days that
Rio has had since the commencement OF
hcstilities between the insurgents and
the Brazilian government. The United
States naval feet stationed in this harbor
has furnished the excitement. Provoked
beyond the endurance Of patience by the
col tinued carelessness of the gunncrs
aboard the rebel war ship Aquidaban,
and tired by the Indifference shown on
the part of the revolutionary admiral to
all his protests that American vessels
entering and leaving the harbor We're
not afforded proper protection by the
rebel fleet, Admiral Berham to-day made
a demonst1 alton with tho American war
vessels under his command which has
taught a much needed lesson to the
belligerents on both sides, and which
viii! undoubtedly have the effect hereafter
Of securing proper recognition OF the
rights of vessels under the American

Who Are HaIiey's Relatives.

Yankton, S. d., JAM. l.-On Dec. 4
a young man named Hadley died here,
and all efforts to discover his relatives
have failed. Some time before his death
he had his life insured for $4,000, giving

his policy therefor. The note was due
on the Sd, which was Sunday. Hadley
died ON the 4th, and the insurance COM
pany refused to pay. The judge Of pro-
bate appointed an administrator for the
estate Of HadleE, and suit has been COM
merced to enforce the payment of the
policy, it being held that the Sd being
Sur day. the note was not due until
Monday, and that in law the holder of
tic note would be entitled to the GUS
ton airy three days grace. Hadley' s
friends may put in an appearance when
it is discovered that his heirs are liable
to secure $4,000.

RintarS Arrested.

Mansfield, Pa, Jan. 30.-Yesterday was
an exciting day in the Mansfield coal
region. From dawn to dusk reports OF

threatened pla1.ts. Early in the morn
ing the miners were said to be march

were assembling for an attack on the
works of Foster & Steen. In the after
noon mob was reported to be gathering
about the Ridgeway mines, and late
in the evening an assault was feared at
the Rend & Cherry mines near Mcdonald
while there was good grounds for the
rumor in every instance the prompt ap-
pearance of the officers of the law had
the desired effect. About 100 rioters
were arrested.

i ST.. Paul.. JAM. 3O.-0ne Of the most
Interesting, cases where the extremely
unlikely happened, was, recorded yester-
day by I. X. Stateler, general agent Of
the Northern Pacific passenger depart
inent at San Francisco, at the Office of
General Passenger Agent Fee. Thirty
seven years ago he and his brother
parted, became lost in. the shuttle during
the war, and until a few days ago each
thought the other dead. Both brothers
lived in Minnesota. since the war until
four years ago, when T. X. Stateler &C
cepted his present position in San Fran
cisco. The sad feature of the affair is
that when he heard of. his brother from
a friend u few days ago it was to learn
that he was dying. Immediately he
fastened to Minnesota, and, when in the
city yesterday was ell. route to Clarissa,
where his brother lies dying. When seen
yesterday he related the following story:
There We're three brothers of us, Mar

served until February or March, 1862,

| found him. just after my enlistment,
which was Feb. =, 1862. just in time to
bury him.
! ''At the time of my enlistment I was
in correspondence: with my elder brother,
who had gone East in 1854. Such cor
| respondence was continued until his en-
! listment and capture, which occurred in
the latter part of 1868. After his capture
our correspondence ceased. I never heard
from him until the early part Of this Jan.
uary. He lies now very sick with the
i dropsy at Clarissa, Mimi.
''Ehe very peculiar part of it is the fac
that he lived in Minnesota from 1870 VI
to the present time, and / from 1866 t.
1888, at which time 1 left for San Fran
cisco. L am now on my way to see him
and hope to- find him alive"

New York, Jan. 31.--Several of the

treasury have arrived at the conclusion
that it will be mistaken policy to allow
the government bond issue to fail be-
carse of inactivity OF lack Of support on
the part of the fnanciers of this city.
They have also been Influenced to this
conclusion by fears that, if the issue
should not be successful, Secretary Car
Isle would endeavor to secure the pas
sage of a bill authorizing the coinage of
the seignorage of silver bullion now in
the treasury. A further consideration
was the possibility of the reflection upon
the credit of the government by the fail

Washington, Jam: 31.-Judge Cox, Of
the district supreme court, declined to
grant the application Of the knights of
Labor to compel Secretary Carlisle to
show cause why he should not be en-
joined from issuing $5O,OOO,O0O Of bonds
a: proposed in his recent bond circular.
The application Of the knights Of Labor
asserts that the members of. the organiza-
ton, as citizens and taxpayers, have
right to the Injunction Should. the
bends be issued the interest will practi-
cally amount to 4 tax Of about 81 a. head
in the country, thereby resulting in an
outlay of 100000 for the Knights of
Labor, according to the application. filed
yesterday. The court says:
"Now, there never. was. per capita
tax in this country. No, law in force re-
quires the payment, of a direct tax,
though there was one. in 1916, end All
other in 1861. Should; such a tax exist
the complainants have not shown that
they are property. holders. They have no
standing in the court as tax payers and
no legal right in, the question as to 4
bond issue. The claim that the interests
| of the organization are different from the
| general public. and would suffer more
than any other class referring to the
claim that many knights We're miners)
by the issue, is, grievance of discrimina-
ton, but it gives no standing in judicial
proceedings. Consequently as taxpayers
or as miners the complainants have no
standing in. court
| Judge Cox then reviewed the laws
bearing on. the question, and declared it
was unnecessary to enter into Il discus.
sion of the rights of the secretary tC
make the issue. The secretary. he said
had legal authority to redeem notes
when presented, and to issue and sell
the bonds when necessary.
GeneraE Secretary Mcguire. of tho

of the district court of appeals and from
there. eventually, the case may go to tn
