Of some OF the institution appropriations
passed by the Legislature, within the
fifteen days, the militia appropriation is
one that seems specially in danger. The
Grand Forks Plalndesler says:
$50 many legislative nimrods went
hunting after the military appropriation
that it is hard to tell which one of them
if any, succeeded in flooring it. Nc
Lachlan's bill cutting the salary OF the
adjutant general from $1,000 to $500
passed both houses and became law.
Then as near as can be cleaned from the
records bill was passed suspending the
appropriation for two years, with the
exception of the item Of armory rent. In
case this measure becomes law it
would be hard to surmise what will be
the condition OF the state guard during
the coming two years. The state owes
every company in the state from $500 to
$500 for armory rent, and the companies
not only want but need their pay. Some
Of them talk Of disbanding, and 1t is
quite certain that by the time the state
gets ready to appropriate for militia pur-
poses again new state guard will have
to be organized.

Won BY Good Work.

The Bismarck people are waking up to
the importance of the fact that military
post is to be established there. 1t is
said that an appropriation of 100000
was included in the bill for two posts.
one on the Puget Sound the other at
Bismarck. The credit for much of the
work in securing the post is doubtless
due to Capt. Baker who has been for
some time quietly working for it, and
who secured the assistance Of Senator
Power OF Montana and bis friends.
Effective work also that clinched the
matter was done by North Dakotans IN
Washington. The Tribunesays:
"In O letter to Father Schmidt, Father
Stephan, now of Washington, but who

An American Steamer Chased by Span
ish N!an-of-"ar.
New YORK, March l3.-The Ameri-
can mail steamship Alliancia while pro-
ceeding from Colon to New York on
the morning of the Sth inst, sighted a
barkentine rugged steamer off the ex-
treme edge of Cuba, which headed di-
rectly toward her. At o'clock, when
about q. nsiles distant, she hoisted the
Spanish flag which was saluted by
hoisting the American ensign and Dip
ping it, which act of courtesy was
answered by the Spaniard. At 7:l5 she
fired blank cartridge toleeward which
was soon followed by another. The
American ensign was again hoisted and
dipped, but the course and the speed
OF the ship was not changed
as no hostile demonstration was
anticipated, as the Alliancia was
more than six miles off the land at that
time. The Spanish man. of-war was not
satisfied, however, with even the
double salute to her flag, but proceeded
to chase the American at full speed, fir
ing several solid shots at her. The
chase was kept up for more than 25
miles before it was abandoned. If the
Spaniard had had more speed, or her
gunners been better marksmen, no
doubt the incident would not have
ended so fortunately for the American.
Captain Crossman of the Alliancia
has written letter to the secretary of
state at Washington, giving full state
ment Of the Spanish warship's conduct.

that their report is proper, just and right

So far as the measurements Of type
are concerned, it is not for the contrac-
tor to determine. This matter is clearly
defined by the Typographical Union OF
the United States, and must be fol-
lowed by union printers it working
by the ''thousand ems" The con.
tractor pays for this composition under
this measurement, and when the legis-
lature refuses to recognize the establish
ed rules Of the printers trade, it aims
direct and insinusting blow at every
type setter in the state. This style OF
measurement is used by every book and
newspaper establishment in the union,
and by the government printing office at
Washington, whenever "plece work" is
let by the "thous8nd ems"
To one not familiar with printers
measurement, basis upon which the
value of work is determined to both con-

unreasonable. The subject matter OF

Pursuant to request there was we'll

Monday night to discuss the affairs OF the
city, with view to carrying on the same
in progressive. yet economical, .oanner
during the next year. In the
debate which occurred, there was
no disposition to criticise the
present council whatever, US it was gen.
orally recognized by those at the meet
ing, as The Alert believes it is generally,
that the present mayor and aldermen
have done about the best under the cir
cumstances, that could be done for the
city and that on the whole their efforts
have resulted in a good deal of time given
and work done for inadequate pay, by
the mayor and all the aldermen
The attention of those present was
called to consider the betterment OF the
finances OF the city, as the expenses are
IN excess OF the revenue estimated at be-
tween $500 and $4,000. The mayor,
city attorney. treasurer, chairman Of

selected to a city convention at the
court house Thursday at 2 D. m.

opposition to the principle of
asking men to serve the city for moth
ing. The compensation is small now
the mayor and aldermen of the pas,
council serving regular and special meett
lngs to the number OF some % or more
for the small pay allowed. On this fea-
ture OF the resolutions there is divided
opinion.
The general opinion that no member
of the council should be interested IN
any contract work for the city was
agreed to. The subject of new bridges
for the city was discussed, in fact the
affairs generally we're gone over, every
one almost giving bis views The school
board, the public improvements, the un-
collected taxes, the license question,
and all were considered and genera
overhauling OF city matters bad, which
will no doubt result in an increased in
terest and desire to elect council
that will not let the town go backward

raise as much revenue 40 the necessities
require for that purpose without ex-
trava9ance or imprudence. The call is
