THE DIFFERENCE.

When, few months ago, the question
how the schools of St Paul were to be
kept open during the year with the
amount Of money available under the
charter came up, we noticed. and had
the right to complain of its
treatment by the papers of Min
neapolis. 1t was almost impossible
to have the facts understood outside of
our own community. 1t was difficult
to explain or to have other people grasp
the situation. Outside communities
simply jumped to the conclusion that
st. Paul was hard up, since there was
not money enough for the schools. Not
being familiar with our charter. or fol-
lowing the course of local events in ST.
Paul. few of them understood that
there was just as much money in the
city as ever, and that the emergency
arose from no lack of general revenue.
That it came from a reduction in the
assessed valuation of city property. in
connection with a fixed limit of 21b
mills taxation for school purposes. laid
down in the charter, we knew and Min
reapolis newspapers knew. 1t was not
generally known outside. We had
ground for severe complaint that, on
this occasion, no newspaper in Mime
apolis lost an opportunity of proclaim
ing to the public the desperate situa-
ton of st. Paul. We had no money.
they said, even to keep the schools
open, and they gloriffed their own CITY
by sympathetic comparisons 1t was
not possible that any one of them
should not be acquainted with the de-
tails of fact, because these had appear
ed time after time in the ST Paul press
in the same articles from which thew
gathered other material which thew
used to our detriment. 1t was a work
of pure envy, hatred, malice and I'M
charitableness; and not one newspaper
in that city was manly or honorable
enough to retract or explain the facts
when they We're set before it by the St.
Paul press.
Notice, now, how different the con-
duct of the papers of this city. We
have frequent occasion to differ from
our esteemed contemporaries, but we
give them credit for fair and honorable
conduct toward our sister city for re-
fusing to render evil for evil. Mime
apolis is in exactly the same position
now which St Paul occupied about six
months ago. There is not sufficient
money to operate the schools and the
council and the school board are con-
sulting, before they decide, whether to-
close the schools altogether some
months before the end Of the year. or
to try some new shifts to get funds.
Out of 100000 worth of bonds which
have been sold for the purpose of rails
ing money for new school buildings,
one-half has already been spent, and it
is urged that the balance of the money
thus borrowed be applied to current
expenses, instead of to the purpose for
which the securities were authorized.
The situation is a very trying and
desperate one, but it arises from
source that does not reflect upon the
general condition of Minneapolis ex-
cept as far as it has had misgovern-
ment The money of the schools has
simply vanished from the city treasury,
and the deficit has tA be made up in

FRAUDULENT CLAIMS.
Many Filed Against the United
States for Indian DepredatiOns.

WASHINGTON, Nov 3O.-Lieut.
Col. Randlett, acting Indian agent at
the Uintah and Ouray agency in Utah,
in his annual report to the interior de-
partment, says official information from
the department of justice shows that
more than 900 depreciation claims,
amounting to more than million dol
lars, have been filed against the Ute
Indians in the United States court of
claims, and the suits instigated in such
manner as to hold either OF the con-
federated bands equally responsible for
the alleged depredations.
The agent alleges that without doubt
nearly all of these claims are fraudu-
lent, and that these Indians also have
just claims against the United States

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-The Chi

spicuously figured before the interior
department, will be given another hear

the secretary of the interior. The as
sistant attorney general for the inter

accident at the Massachusetts Hill mine at
5 O'Clock this morning caused the death of
one man and injury TO two others, while a
fourth had a narrow escape. 1t was caused
by blast which hung fire. The man
who met his death was Benjamin Rule.
His working males at the time were John
Rippngham, Henry Prisk and John
Kitto.
The men were working in the bottom of
the shaft. They had blasted ten holes.
but heard only nine reports. They waited
reasonable time for the other blast to 90
off, and finally came 10 the conclusion
that two OF the charges had gone off sim
ultaneously. They then desce hded to the
bottom Of the shaft and began sending up
the loose rock. They had sent up four or
five loads when suddenly the tenth blast
which had been hanging fire all this tim @
exploded with terrible effect
Rule was in a STOPPING position at the
side of the hole. He received the force of
he blast on his | 1T shoulder and head.
His skull was split open and he was killed
instantly. Rippingham was standing less
than three feet away. He received a part
of the charge n his face, which is badly
cut, and his right eve is injured. Henry
Prisk received slight injuries, and Kitto
escaped uninjured.
The man VINO was killed was one OF the
best young miners III the camp. He was
81 years of age. He leaves young widow.

DESERTI0RS From THE OREGON.
Fiffy of The Battle Ships Grew Have Es-
capped Since II Left for North
ern Waters

SEATTLE, WASH, June 4.-There h have
been fifty desertions from the ranks of the
marines and seamen of the battle-ship
Oregon since it arrived on the sound about
two months ago. During its stay at the
Puget Sound naval station at Bremerton
over thirty quit the service of Uncle Sam.
The remainder went ashore in Seattle and
Tacoma. In fact, all of the deserters
eventually came to this city or went to
Tacoma after leaving the Oregon.
There appears to have been no dissatis-
faction among the men as TO their treat
ment. They generally agreed that the
Oregon's bill of fare was good and the
work none TOO hard for the pay, small
though it is. AS a rule the deserters we're
new men, such as chafed under the re.
straint and discipline exacted aboard q
man f-war.
There has, it seems, been a good deal of
drunkenness and dissipation among the
Oregon's sailors since the vessel came
north whenever they were allowed land
liberty. They spent the greater portion
of their time in saloons and gaming
houses, and this habit, of course, led 10
chastisement and the usual unsatisfac-
tory results, particularly to the person
punished,

election for School Trustee took place
here to-day, in which Charles F. Carrier,
leading lawyer, was opposed by two
women candidates. The contest was made
exciting through the opposition of the
laboring element to Mrs. Thomas, becaus e
she induced her hus band to bring a car
penter from Los Angeles to build their
new residence. Mrs. Fillmore Moore,
wife OF prominent Socialist, was the
other woman candidate. The total vote

Carrier received 5S4, Mrs. Thomas 146 and
Mrs. Moore 40.
Another important feature of the cleo

nephew of ex-senator Calvin S. Brice,
died at Tempe, Ariz., to-day. He came
to Ontario in an advanced stage of con-

gagged to be married this month. Last
Tuesday physicians told Tanning that his
death was near, and that it would cause

had a clergy man called to his room and
insisted that he and Miss Spencer be mar
ried then and there. When the ceremony
was finished the dying man had his will
written. He gave his large life insurance

he inherited from his father. This morn
ing he was taken with another and more
serious hemorrhage and died in a few

scientists. The Chicago Academy of
Sciences is negotiating for its purchase. 1t
Is the most wonderful and most colossal
ever unearth, its proportions being gigan-
tic. There are vertebre a complete skull,
ribs ana fippers that are mammoth in
size.
The fossil is fully petrified, che bones
being calcareous. They are fifty or more
verteora, each as big as the joint of a
stoveplpe. The head is sixteen feet in cir
cumierence and has long protrudlng
oone, SIX feet across, like the beak OF
olrd. The ribs are twenty-five feet long,
half-hooped in contour, and the eve sock
cts are two feet across. The propellers or
ms are perfectly preserved and three leet
