Fargo Politics.

FARGO, N. D., April 3.-The complete reg
istration for the city election, which will occur
next Monday, is 1909, some 800 more than
ever before, and the large number registered
not only shows the increased interest in
municipal politics, but also an increase in
population since last election. There is
bitter fight over the mayoralty between Col.
w. F. Ball. the present incumbent, and ]. A.
Johnson, machinery dealer. The chief con-
test is on the fight for municipal judge. This
Office was created by the last legislature and
provides for salary of $4,000, with clerk
and stenographer, and gives the new court
jurisdiction over large number of cases that
formerly were taken into the district court.
w. H. Barnett, the present police justice,
secured the nomination at the Republican
city convention, and is opposed by S. G. Rob-
erts, an attorney, who has had judicial aspiras
tions.

DULUTH STILL PROTESTS.
Proposed Bridge Bill Not Acceptable
in It's Present Form.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-During the last
week or ten days the two Minnesota sena-
tors and several Of the Minnesota members
of the house have received communications
from clubs, associations and organizations in
the city of Duluth. relative to the bill intro
duced by Congressman Towne, for a bridge
across the st. Louis river, between Duluth
and Superior. These communications, many
OF which are in the form Of protest against
the Towne bill in its present form, shave
been presented in the senate and house and
referred to the proper committee. The latest
communication on this subject which has
been received comes from the Duluth Com
mercial club, and is as follows:
Whereas, The bill introduced in the
house by Mr.. Towne, Feb. 20, 1896, to amend
an act entitled, An act to authorize the con-
struction of a steel bridge over the st. Louis
river between the states of Wisconsin and
Minnesota, providing among other things for
the levying and collection of tolls for the
passage of all traffic over said bridge, except
ing employees and apparatus of the fire and
police departments of the cities of Duluth
and Superior when in actual service, and,
Whereas, the rights of the public as af-
fected by the granting of the franchise for
such bridge would seem to demand freer
and more liberal use of the same for the
ordinary purpose Of travel and traffic there
fore be 1t
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of the Du-
luth Commercial club that public policy de-
mands that the bill provide for the free pas
sage over said bridge of all foot passengers
bicycle riders, wagons and vehicles of all
kinds not within the privileges granted in
the case Of the fire and police departments
AS will be noticed the resolutions do not
protest against the bill in general, but sim
ply express dissatisfaction with the omis-
sion of provision for the accommodation of
foot passengers. 1t is probable that if it be-
comes necessary to do so, Mr.. Towne will
alter the bill so as to meet objections of the
associations of Duluth which have adopted
resolutions relative to the bill.

RESOLUTION OF NONCOMPLIANCE
ADOPTED BY THE FRENCH
SENATE,
MINISTERS WILL REMAIN.
THEY REGARD THE ACTION or
THE DEPUTIES AS THE
TEST.
BOURGEOIS WOULD NOT EXPLAIN.
Told the Senate Members They Must
Be Satisfied With What the
Deputies Kneyvs

PARIS, April BIN anticipation of the de-
bate upon the foreign policy of the govern
ment, the senate was crowded today and
many deputies, as well as most of the min
lsters' were present. In supporting the pro-
posal OF Mr.. Bissenit, to defer interpretations
until after the holidays, the premier, M.
Bourgeois, declared he could not add to the
explanations on the Egyptian question which
had been furnished on Tuesday. He added
that the government yesterday had obtained,
by vote of the chamber of deputies, proof
that the majority of that body were assured
it had sufficient authority to pursue the
pending negotiations. A vote in the senate
today might lessen the authority given the
chamber of deputies, and therefore he beg
ged the senate, in the name of France, to
postpone all interpretations until the reas-
sembhng of parliament. In spite of this ap-
peal motion to defer the interpretations
was defeated, whereupon NJ. Bourgeois de-
clined to reply to them.
M. Milliard stated that the explanations Of
NJ. Bourgeois were as inadequate in the
chamber as in the senate. He added that the
resignation of M. Berthelot, the former min
lister for foreign affairs had deceived no
one. All the world, he asserted, understood
that M. Berthelots retirement was an adj
mission Of blunders committed. NJ. Milliard
offered the following resolution:
''The senate, noting the declaration of the
government that it cannot add to it's expla-
nations of Tuesday on the Egyptian ques-
ton, and considering these explanations in
sufficient, refuses it a vote of confidence"
The resolution was adopted by vote of 155
to &c.
All the ministers left the senate after the
passage of the vote of non-confdence and
the senate almost Immediately afterwards
adjourned until April q. After leaving the
senate chamber, the ministers met at the
Quai d'Orsay, in order to discuss the stu
alton. They separated at O'Clock, but main
tanned secrecy in regard to the result arrived
at. At the close of the discussion, however,
M. Burgeois went to the Elysee palace In
order to see President Faure.
Later it became known that the cabinet had
decided that the successive votes Of con-
fdence of the chamber of deputies made it
the duty of the government to continue in
office and NJ. Bourgeois so informed tbs

houses on the Red Lake reservation and taken
up their residence, on the agricultural lands

party of Otter Tai. county people says that
he saw more than fifty shanties hid away in
the bushes, where they would be unlikely to
be discovered by any but an experienced
woodsman. The farmers along the rsserva-

Bennett, of New York, presented a substitute
bill, embodying several amendments which
had been suggested by members in former
discussions. 1t was the sense of the commit
tee that instead of the subsidy of $160, 900
asked by the Pacific Cable company, a New
York corporation, the government should not
aid it in a greater sum than 100000 year
for twenty years, and that government busi-
ness should be done free for all time.

COL. NAFF NOT DROWNED.
But He and His Party Had a Narrow
Escape.

Escape.
CROOKSTON, Mimi, April 3.-The report of
the drowning of Col. A. F. Naf, special agent
OF the interior department, proves to be un-
true. Col. Naff reached civilization last night.
and says the report came from the fact that
all went through the ice on Rainy river, as
stated, but after four hours of work the men
and horses got ashore The balance of the outfit
was lost.
The pine thieves whom Col Naff went to
look after establish camps on the American
side and float the logs down the border to
mills at Rat Portage. Numerous attempts
nave been made by the land Office to effect
the capture of the guilty parties. Three spe-
cial agents and assistants made thorough
and persistent effort to find the men several
years ago, and individual agents have had
general instructions looking to this end all
along. This was the case with Col Naff, who
was ordered last summer by Commissioner
Lamoreaux to investigate the matter when
feasible. The thieves had been quiet after the
preceding Investigations until this winter
when they realized their last opportunity had
come, because of the early opening Of Red
lake lands, and were claimed to have started
their old camps

WINONA, Minn., April S.-By a queer cir
cumstance the Trempealeau village election
has gone by default. 1t has been customary
to hold the election the Wednesday after the
town election. This would go all right usual
ly, but this year it doesn't. The charter says
''the election will be held the first Wednesday
in April, so the election, to be legal, should
have been held Wednesday, April 1, of this
week. Such circumstance only happens once
in eight years, but April fooled everybody in
Trempealeau this year. To remedy the mis-
take, Village Clerk Babbitt has had to call a

PIERRE BONDS ARE VALID.
Taxpayers Lose in a Suit Against the
City.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., April s.-Judge Gaffy today
rendered a decision in case in which Sarah
c. Henderson brought suit to set aside certain
tax sales and to restrain the city from the col
lection of taxes on property in this city. The
main question raised was that the city in
dcbtedness is in excess of the statutory limi-
tation. On this the judge holds in effect that
since the bonds have gone into the hands Of
innocent purchasers it is too late to raise that
issue. That remedy was open at the time
of the issuance of the bonds and if there was
any case it should have been brought at that
time. The payment Of thousands of dollars Of
taxes have been hanging on the decision, and
1t means great deal to the city as well as to
the holders of city securities.
