SUITS FOR DAMAGES.
Governor CiOugh and Other NinnesO-
tans Asked to Pay $25,OOO.

ct PAUL Mimi, Jan. 2.-The Needham-
Moore prize-fght episode last fall has come
into the District Court in the shape of three
actions for heavy damages against Governor
Clough, Daniel r. Noys. Tilford l.. Wilson
and Tams Bixby. The plaintiffs to the three
actions are Isaiah ]. Boseley, the engineer
of one of the river boats that it was pro-
posed to carry a load of people down the
river to the scene of the fight; ]. c. Smith,
lie, captain of the other boat. Each plaintiff
alleges $4,000 damages for the alleged ma
licious prosecution of that time; that each
man was arrested as the result of a con-
spiracy between the defendants and lodged
in the county Jail of Ramsey county on a
Sunday, at q time when it was impossible
Obliged TO remain there for a longer time
but for the kindness of the sheriff in taking
their word for their appearance in court the
following morning; that on the final exam
nation being had in the Police Court in this
city they were discharged; that one meeting
held in the office of the Governor, and an
other meeting without the Governor was
held in the office of the county attorney of
Ramsey county, that at the time OF the ar
rest the defendants talked freely with vari-
Gus reporters of st. Paul and Minneapolis
ton of the plaintiffs disgrace in all the
papers of the two cities, AMI that the news
was sent broadcast over the country; that
there never was any intention of prize
fight being held between Needham and
Moore, and that at that time Needham was
the peace, and that there could, therefore,
not be any fight.

State authorities with national soldiers

man to-day when he filed his decision
which has been reported in these dis
patches. in the Kelly jurisdiction case
Judge Seaman holds that THE lands and
properties employed for the home consti-
tute instrumentaiities for the execution of
the powers OF general government and are,
therefore. exempt from such control of the
State as would defeat or impair their use
for those purposes. The management and
officers are agencies of the United States,
and as such are exempt from any Interior
ence by the authorities or courts of the
State in their control. discipline or govern
ment Of the homes" Then. after citing au-
thorities in support of the position, Judge
Seaman continues: "As such instrumental
fly the property is exempt from taxation in
State or local authorities, and on the same
ground regulations established thereon un-
der the sovereign power are not subject to
control or interference by the municipality
or State, regarding licenses for the sale OF
liquor and like restrictions Ii is unneces-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-The personnel Of
the Venezuelan commission was commended
to-day by members of the House who take
particular interest in interna tional matters.
regardless OF party Affiliations. The gentle
men selected were considered entirely COM
petent to conduct what the President IN
his message expressed a wish fora judicial
examination Of the evidence relating to the
boundary. 1t was also pointed out that
while several members of the commission
have participated in politics none can be
considered strong partisan at this time.
so that so far as our domestic affairs are
concerned they would not be likely to enter
on their work with any party ends to serve.
In speaking of the Venezuelan question,
an authority on international affairs pointed
out that the present hostilities in the Trans
vaal furnished a direct and most opportune
parallel to the South American dispute.
The note of the German government TO
Great Britain requesting an explanation OF
Jameson's expedition into the Beers terri
tory and protesting against il, he thought,
would tend to fortify the arguments of the
United States in justification of it's action
regarding the Venezuelan boundary. The
conditions of the two cases are not unlike
The Transvaal is nominally an independent
republic, and Germany does not claim to
maintain protectorate over 1t any more
than the United States does over Vene-
zuela. yet Germany assumes right to
interfere to check British aggressions. Nor
can the German government claim that its
own safety Is in any way menaced by any
steps which the English might take against
the Beers; 1t can only assert right to
interfere on the grounds that its interests
are involved, which is thought by many to
be the only tenatle ground on which this
government can base it's right to be con-
sidered a party to the dispute between
Venezuela and British dependency. There
is no doubt that proceedings in the Trans
vaal will have an interest for this govern
ment which they otherwise would not be-

that two Spanish officers and four

by reason of the masses of flame which
arise from the sugar plantations, where the
cane has been set on fire by the insurgenr
