w. p. Murray on the Latest Postmas-
tership Rumor.

William Pitt Murray cannot tell
at this moment who will be
the post master of ST. Paul. At least he
says that he knows not, notwithstand-
ing his recent six weeks stay in Wash
ington, D. c.
1.-The people should understand said
Mr. Murray last night, that the
government at Washington has been
busying itself about more important
matters during the past two months
than postoffice appointments. The pres
ident is obliged to make $500 of these
appointments, but, as all the country is
aware, vital matters have demanded
his attention of late Postoffice APP
pcintments due in December have not
been made yet.
''As far as the S. Paul postmaster
ship is concerned, I have not the remot-
est idea who will be the appointee The
only definite information !, have, and it
was information to me, is, that the
term of the present incumbent expires
Feb. 4. 1 do not, however, look for the
appointment of Capt. Castles successor
until the latter partaof February or the
LIST of March,
Referring to the publication in an
evening paper declaring that Mayor
Smith was seeking the appointment, Mr.
Murray said it was absolutely sense
less.

DECLINES IAN HONOR.
E1-CongressmRn HauEen Confirms n
Wisconsin Renort.

lsc0nk1n REPORT
Ex-Congressman Nils P. Haugen, of
River Falls, Wis, lat the Merchants
hotel last night, confirmed the
truth of the dispatch from his home
town that he had declined his recent
appointment to the board of regents.
The report of his declination was re-
ceived with great doubt by the politf-
clans, and a dispatch from Madison
states that it was denied at the eXecu-
tive chamber in the following state
ment:
Nils Haugen has not resigned and as far
as Is known here, is is his intention to remain
by his declaration in his letter of last Satur-
day. when he announced his intention OF &C
cepting the appointment.
This, however, was evidently given
out before the receipt Of Mr.. Haugen' S
letter, as he stated last night that his
declination was final He was not a
candidate for the position in the first
place, and had in fact Endorsed another
person for it. While his appointment
would no doubt be gratifying to many
people. especially in his own town, which
has one of the normal schools, yet he
felt that the criticisms which had been
made upon the governor by reason of the
appointment made it the better course
to decline the honor.
The criticism was made that the gov

Deputy Sheriff Goss yesterday on a
charge Of insanity. When Goss reach
ed the womans home, at 246 Martin

barred, and would not let him enter,
SO the officer had to break them in. He
found her welding an axe with which
she had split up large amount Of fur

the kitchen for kindling wood. She
had broken the stove and damaged
nearly everything in the house. She real
lied that she was to be taken prisoner,
and begged to be allowed to skip out.
But when she found that her importu-
mites were Of no avail, she went along
quietly. She will be examined in the

The course of lectures which was

this evening by Prof. Woodbridge at
Unity club rooms. The subject of

Aristotle, will be discussed, as also
the notifications introduced by Ro-

VICTORY FOR GRoCERs.
Test of the Law Requiring Retail
Butcher,s License.

Judge Otis yesterday discharged, on
a writ of habeas corpus, Peter Wagner,
who was convicted and sentenced to
thirty days in the workhouse in default
of $40 fine few days ago for selling
poultry without a license. The court,
following the decision of the supreme
court in what is known as the Farms
worth case, decided that the city ordi-
nance prohibiting the sale of poultry
without license is invalid, for the
reason that the city charter does not
authorize the passage of such an ordi-
nance. 1t is claimed that the ordinance
was passed at the solicitation of the
butchers to prevent grocers from hand
ling poultry, and Mr.. Wagner, who is
a grocer, made this test case and has
won.

Daring Deeds of q Band of Women Led
by an Avenging senorita
CHICAGO, Oct. IA special from
Key West says: "Advices from Rem
edios tell Of the gallant deeds of a
band of Amazons headed by Senorita
Martini Hernandez Perez. They are
mounted and have been in the vicinity
of Vueltas for some time. Last Satur-
dav afternoon Senorita Perez, at the
head of her band, dashed upon the
town. Twelve Spanish soldiers at
the gate were put to the machete.
The Amazons then rode through the
streets cutting down other Spanish
soldiers who were lounging in front
of a cafe. In the plaza 200 Spaniards
were charged. The Spaniards fired a
volley, which killed three Amazons,
and then fled to the barracks after
losing eight of their number. A year
ago Martinez's fancee was captain
in the Cuban army, but after he was
captured and put to death by the
Spaniards, she vowed vengeance and
organized her band, the members of
which are sworn to never spare a
Spaniard"
