Gold Bricked.

UO1u IElChcu.
The jamestown Alert tells a gold
brick story on Oliver Holt, formerly of
this city, and an employee of the Lloyds'
bank at Jamestown, and suggest that he
may have been worked by this means.
1t says there have been a great many in
quiries and suggestions as to how the
note of 0. H. Holt for the sum Of &c.
600, came to be included among the
worthless assets in Lloyds' National
bank. No one seems to know much
about this but the bank officers and, of
course they are not divulging bank Sc
crets at a very rapid rate at present.
There are reports, however, that an ex-
PLANTATION of this financial transaction,
by which the Lloyds' depositors we're
left in the lurch to the above amount,
may be made and. possibly before the
matter gets into the courts.
Several parties in jamestown have
been informed that this sum Of $4,000
was taken from the bank by the old and
often worked scheme known as the "gold
brick scheme" Current report has it
that such a transaction occurred in
August, 1891. The Alert says that back
in 1891, a miner named Harper came to
jamestown, got into Hollis confidence,
and told him a plausible story about an
immense find of gold he had made.
Harper represented himself to be an old
friend of Lloyd's, and said he needed
money, and would divide his gold with
Lloyd. The Alert publishes a long &C.
count Of mysterious movements on the
part of Holt and Harper, and draws from
them the conclusion that Holt may have
gotten the $4,000 from Lloyds' on the
gold brick scheme, and been worked"
Altogether it is a very good gold brick
story.

Letter From An Old Timer.

All the old pioneers remember with
friendship "Phil" Lewis, who with the
Winston Brothers was engaged here in
1928, during the building of the
Northern Pacific railroad, and will be
glad to learn from the following letter
that he is prospecting back in Old Vir-
ginia, where his ancestors, with the
Washingtons and Lees, were pioneers of
the revolutionary war era:
WALKERToN, VA,
Feb. 10, 1894. !
1 am in receipt of a copy of the Bismarck
TRIBUNE of February 10th, sent to me by
Lieut.. Charles Gurley, of Washington, D.
G., in which he has marked Fortress to
Farm" 1t carries me back so wildly to
our early days in Bismarck, and l remem-
Der so well the first Sunday school alluded
to in that chapter, and | also remember
with pleasure those early days, and how
eager we were to read the AmaZonian
Corps as published weekly in the TRIBUNE.
| often wonder what has become of all
our old friends and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Bill, Raymond, Flannery, Bowen, Meigs,
Leisure and others; John Davidson, W. A.
Hollembaek and Fairchild have crossed
the dark river; Tom Winston is in
Minneapolis; SUIT Winston is dead,
and after going to Montana, and
remaining there for ten years, l.drifted
over to the coast, and was for two years on
Puget sound. My wife's health was bad,
and I I'm now in, the Old Dominion for the
balance of my days. Yet there is a tender
place in my memory for Bismarck and the
friends l made there. How we all loved
old Father I. 0. Sloan. | have not heard of
him for a long time, and 1 expect he has
gone from among us. Times have changed
since the old days. Boys and girls have
grown to men and women. Family and
business cares with their responsibilities
are upon us, but Notwithstanding these,
our memories go back so often to pleasant
recollections Of Edwinton and the infancy
of Bismarck. l often think and talk Of the
time Custer came over with the 18th cavalry
for the government oats; how the mayor OF
thet town read the.ri0t act. and how entire
ly ignored the town and went boldly on
with his men and took the government
oats and carried them back to Fort Lincoln.

A JUST DEMAND.
Legislature Asked to Amend the Libel
Law

Oshkosh, March 3.-The State Press
association concluded it's session and
adjourned last night, The most I'm
portant work at the business meeting
was the adoption of the following re-
solution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this association that the law of libel
Of WicOnsin should be amended to en-
body provisions as follows: The prin-
ciple of exemplary or punitive damages
to be abolished except where malice
is shown, the existence of malice to be
made q matter of proof and not ac-
cepted as a matter of presumption; a
person aggrieved to be required to call
for 4 correction before bringing suit,
the publication of a retraction to be
taken as evidence of no malice and to
serve rs q bar to an action for ex-
emplary damages; when prompt and
retraction is made and alb
sence of malice shown, recoverable
damages to be limited to actual dam
ages commensurate with the extent of
injury proved"
A committee consisting of Metssrs.

London, March SIT was officially
late this evening that the
queen has accepted the resignation of
Premier Gladstone and summoned Lord
offering him the post of
prime minister. 1t is further an
nounced that Lord Roseherry has ac-
cepted the position.
1t is understood that Edward Major
banks, the chief liberal whip, has re-
piled to the protest of the radicals
against the succession of Lord Rose
language, the evident purpose being to
prevent, it possible, the threatened de-
lection of the radicals. But it il
thoroughly Well known that la
bouchere will do all in his power 70
withdraw the radical support from the
Roseberry cabinet.
1t is freely asserted tonight that
Lord RoSeberry and the liberal party
will have to face a crisis at the retire
ment of Gladstone. There is Il strong
feeling of soreness among the more
moderate liberals at the cavalier man
ner in which Gladstone has treated
Lis colleagues in the matter of his re-
signation. The leaders of the party,
however, scoff lt the idea that there
will be amy general revolt.
1t is more important to the great
bulk of the liberal party than the ac-
ton of Iabouchere is the attitude of
the anti-Parnellite party, which I'M
douDtedly will have power to turn the
ministery out of office any day it
chooses.
1t is believed that communica tons
have passed between members of the
government and leaders of the Irish
nationalist. The latter are said to
sage of the home rule measure will
still be the chief aim of the govern
ment. The Independent, of Dublin, to
day, repeats its assertion tina the resig
nation of Gladstone is the result of q
cabal, the object Of which is said to be
to obtain a free hand in the overthrow
of home rule for Ireland. The writer
denounces the retirement of Gladstone
us an act of treachery to Ireland.
Lord Roseberry's acceptance to the
premiership will involve only three OF
four changes in the old cabinet 1t is
tolerably certain that the Earl of Kim
berley or Earl of Spencer will go to
the foreign office and that John Morley
the present chief secretary for Ireland
will become secretary of state for In
dia.
The nationalists have intimated thai
Herbert Gladstone or the Rt Hon. A
H. Dykeaclland, vice president of the
committee of the council of education
must be the new chief secretary fol-
Ireland.

Lead Ore

Washington, March 3.-At the close
of the sitting of the senate finance COM

TIL the bill is presented as a whole.
Among other articles on which the

A DISMAL FAILURE.
OF GEN. EARLY AS A
WARRIER.
Gen. James Longstreet Says He Was
Not Gifted with the Genius
of War

the Evening Star from Richmond, Va,
says: When General James Longstreet
was appriSed of General Early'S death
and pressed for an estimate of the
dead confederate soldiers career, he
made the following startling reply:
"Of Early's career as Il soldier l
candidly regard it as dismal failure.
He was gifted with neither the genius
Of war, nor the development of
strategy. In this opinion 1 will be borne
out by the records.
at is hard for me to express these
convictions in the presence of death
yet history must not be falsified, be
cause respect and reverence is due to
the dead"

Washington, March 1.-The senate
held an uneventful session but in the
house the long struggle over the Bland
bill for the coinage of the silver
sefgniorage and silver bullion in the
treasury was ended by the passage of
the bill by a vote Of 1877 to 100.
Special order to bring the bill to a
vote was adopted by a bare quorum
Immediately after the house convened.
This broke the opposition Of the fill
busterers and they were powerless to
do anything further.
The bill as passed is in the nature
of a substitute for the original text
of the measure. The changes do not
affect the material features of the bill,
which provide for the coinage of the
silver seiniOrage in the treasury, the
issue of silver certificates thereon, if
need be, in the discretion of the secre-
tary In advance of coinage and there
after the coinage of the remainder of
the bullion as fast as practicable and
the issue Of silver certificates thereon
to take the place of treasury notes
issued under the Sherman act which
are to be cancelled as rapidly as the
coinage takes place The measure now
goes to the senate.
