Another Witness in the Cling Murder Case
Discovered.
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 28.-The excite
ment over the Hayward trial grows in
stead of diminishing, and as the jury
box gradually fills up the public has
plenty Of rumors to be run to earth in
connection with the murder case.
Friday there was well defined rumor
in circulation that q conductor on the
Bryn Mawr car line had been under ar
rest for two days, charged with COM
plicity in the murder. While such was
not the cnse, inquiry developed
q piece of news, for it was learned
that one of the conductors on that
line had been subp9naed two days ago
attend as witness at the trial. His
name could not be learned, but it is
stated that he was running a car at the
time of the murder, and that he could
identify Claus Blixt as the man who
had been passenger on his car at about
the time Blixt stated in his confession
that he took car after the murder and
rode into the city. This called forth
the rumor that the man had been ar
rested.

TO WAGE WAR ON THE THISTLE.

Minnesota Legislator Proposes United Ac-
tion by Six States.
M1NNEAPoLIs, Jan. 28.-Senator Jones
of the state legislature has hit upon the
idea Of inviting commissioners from
North Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and Wis
consin to conference upon the subject
of the determination of the Russian
thistle. He has drawn up a joint resolu-
tion which he proposes to introduce up
on the first opportunity, requesting tho
governor of The state to appoint two
commissioners from among the members
of the legislature or other persons to
meet with commissioners from other
states, and also to request the governor
to invite two commissioners from each
Of the states named.
Senator Jones believes that uniform
law can be agreed upon which would
probably pass every state legislature in
terested in the subject. He has written
to Congressman Picker for a number of
copies Of the latter's bill, which is based
upon the idea of cooperation between
the government and the several states
infested. It is his idea that the confer
ence should be held early in February,
as the legislatures of some of the other
states do not continue as long as that of
Minnesota,

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.

Several More Speeches Scheduled on 1t In
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-The week in
the senate will open with the renewal Of
the discussion of the Hawaiian ques-
ton, which promises to become the sub
ject of several more very animated
speeches before it shall be definitely and
finally disposed of. The adoption of the
Vest amendments, the Allen resolution,
instead of discouraging the antagonists
of the administration, has apparently
had the effect of squirting them to even
more strenuous and pronounced opposi-
ton. They express themselves as hope
full of reversing the verdict of Saturday
when the next vote shall be reached
which shall be on the final adoption OF
the substitute. The bankruptcy bill has
been given the position of unfinished
business and will occupy attention for
the greater part of the week.

CAUSE OF THE DISPUTE.

Differences Between Mexico and Guate-
mala Outlined.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20. The land
involved in the dispute between Mexico
and Guatemala is covered for the most
part with dense forests of precious woods.
Mexican choppers from the North and
Guatemhan choppers from the South
have clashed in the heart Of the forest
that fringes the banks of the rivers
Usulnacinto and Lacantun and their
tributaries, and this has precipitated tho
conflict The controversy rests on the
question whether the Lacantun or one Of
the forks of the Usumacinto constitutes
the boundary between the Mexican
state of Chiapas and Guatemala. The
old traditional boundary was the Lac
antun, but according to the treaty Of
1882, the boundary was pushed to the
eastward. The Guatemalans do not
now accept the Usumacinto rs the
boundary and companies declining to
acknowledge the title Of the little rep1b-
io to the territory have recently in
vutled these regions on the left bank ct
the Lacantun.
Turru 20 Wouldn't Quit.
Don Miguel Turruco has one Of the
largest CONCESSIONS. In June, 1892, the
Guatemalan authorities ordered him to
cease exploring the forests. As he de-
MED the authority Of Guatemala, COM
pany of soldiers was sent to enforce the
order, and to capture the chief offenders.
Other complications Of the same sort
followed, Mexico declining to allow the
holders Of Guatemalan concessions to
strip the forests. An American engineer,
Miles Rock, was sent out to survey the
boundary. He ran line through tho
forests still further west than the
Lacantun, and included as Guatemalan
territory the country Of precious woods,
in which complications had arisen. Ac-
cording to Guatemalan claims the lands
under dispute have been Guatemalan
territory for over so years. The Guate-
malans claim Mexico's desire to extend
her territory is the cause of the compli-
cations.

RESULT OF FIRES.
Fifth of the Population Of Rusk,
Wis.,, Suffering From Cold
and Hunger.
LOCAL AID is EXHAUSTED.
Governor Upham Appealed to
for Immediate Relief of
the Needy.

GRANTsBURa, Wis.,, Jan. 28.-Reports
still continue to come in from the town
of Rusk, and each time adds to the tale
of terrible sufferings and starvation
among the settlers there. The country
is just opening up and many Of the set'
tiers are recent arrivals. The greater
number of them come from the southern
part Of the state, aud were nearly
starved ont when they arrived at Rusk.
The few morsels they had would not
have filed dry goods box. Those who
arrived last spring cut away the woods
and opened small clearing and tried to
raise few vegetables to live on, after
having put up rough log houses and
chinked up the sides to live in. Had
they succeeded in raising anything
matters
Might Have Been Different
and their sufferings reduced to GER
tain degree MS far as hunger was con-
cerned, but crops were an absolute fail
ure, and then came the terrible forest
fires, sweeping everything in their path.
Many farmers lost the little hay they
had gathered from the scattering
marshes, and in several instances
houses, barns and their all was swept
away. The towns of Shell Lake and
Cumberland assisted them some last
fall. The local charity fund and town
funds are exhausted and now the county
relief committee has been asked to aid
Governor Upham has been requested
To Give Immediate Relief.
They have almost nothing to eat and
and very little to wear. One-tifth Of
the inhabitants are without proper food,
and many have not pound Of flour in
the house. The relief committee held q
meeting here Sunday, after having
given notice to those in need of aid.
Their tales Of want and woe were AIKEN
under oath and were terrible in the ex-
treme. 1t is a pitiful sight to sec how
thinly these people are clad when the
thermometer is registering from 20 to 80
below zero.

Officials Say the Amount Real

Hawaiian Question the Main
Subject of Discussion in
the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Members Of
congress who believe in the income tax
as an equitable method of raising rev.
enues are gratifed at the unexpectedly
good showing of the preliminary can.
vass made by the collectors of the in
ternal revenue at the direction Of Secre-
tary Carlisle. They believe that the
greater the amount realized from this
tax the more popular it will become,
and the more firmly rooted as part Of
the policy Of the government. Repre-
sentative Mcmillan Of Tennessee says
that if large percentage Of the revenue
of the government is derived from this
plan.
Any Attempts to Repeal 1t
before the expiration of the 5-year limit
fixed in the Wilson bill will be exceed
ingly unpopular and that the greater
the rrvenue derived from it the greater
will I've the probability of it's re-enact-
ment at the end of it's term. When the
proposition to tax incomes was before
congress the profit from the scheme was
at first estimated at from $15 ,O00, 900 to
$18, 1000. Later the estimates of the
committee were raised to the vicinity of
$30,000,0OO. Mr.. Hall of Missouri, who
has given more study to the theory and
history Of the income tax
Than Any Other Man
in the house did not place the total be-
low $5O,OO0,CO From the results of
the canvass Of the internal revenue
bureau it appears that Mr.. Hall was
more nearly correct than the other fore
casters. He now says that the income
tax may yield more than $5O,0OO,OO0
and it is known that the treasury de-
partment officials do not place it's results
below that mark. The showing made
by the 36 of the 63 districts gives
ground for the estimate that about 3OO,-
0o0 persons and corporations will con-
tribute to the treasury by this plan. -'','

SARANAc LAKE, N. Y, Jan. 28.-The
little blizzard reported early Saturday
later assumed the proportions of hur.
ticane. The storm continued with un-
abated fury, the mercury registering
zero. The wind, blowing at 40 miles an
hour, has piled the snow everywhere in
huge drifts, and the highways are i'm
passable. No trains arrived here for "a
hours and the railroad companies have
not attempted to run a train out, nor
will any attempt be made to do 80 at
present. Railroad officials say even
should the storm cease the trains will
not run for some time for the reason
that the snow is piled in tremendous
drifts along the tracks in the Adiron-
dacks, where the distances between
places is great. Many travellers are
snowbound in the woods.
