THE LHNGDON STHMP MILL.
Will be Made Test Case for Patronage "Pulr
Between HanSbrough and Johnson.

j. B. Chale's application for the post
office at Olga, was sent down to the
senate for confirmation last week by
Congressman johnson. Mr.. Chale was
the incumbent OF that office prior to the
appointment OF Postmaster Beauchamp
by the outgoing administration four
years ago. There exists difference OF
opinion between Congressman Johnson
and Senator Hansbrough as to which
should name epresidential postmasters
OF North Dakota and it is expected that
an understanding will be reached this
week as the Langdon post office will be
made test case Senator HtnsbrOugh
recommends P. McHugh and Congress-
man johnson wishes to see D. H. Nc
MILAN get the berth. There has been no
question but what the Congressman from
North Dakota should have the naming
OF fourth class postmasters but Senator
Hansbrough maintains he has the right
OF naming the new occupant OF vacancies
existing in presidential post Offices. The
outcome involves four stamp mills in the
state and is being awaited with impa-
tient interest, both here and in three
other cities.

appeared for the first time The prince
of Wales on entering the hall shook
hands with Colonel Cecil Rhodes The
latter. when retiring, was recalled and
questioned by Sir Henry Campbell Ban
herman. member of the late Rosebery
cabinet.
The only interest awakened in the
cross-examination was aroused by ii
statement from Colonel Rhodes that he
did not see any difference between the
Eases of Crete and the Transvaal except
that the Cretans, who have the popular
sympathy of England are foreigners
claiming civil rights, whereas in the
Transvaal it was our countrymen who
were seeking civil rights''
Colonel Rhodes reiterated his statement
that the agitation at Johannesburg would
continue until popular rights We're grant
ed to the inhabitants 1t was impossible
that small minority Of burshers should
govern majority of newcomers. Colonel
Rhodes also stated that charges imposed
by the Transvaal government upon min

Interested States.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The forestry
proclamation issued by President Cleve-
land yesterday is meeting with vigorous
opposition from some of the congressman
from sections interested. Senator Clark
of Wyoming, Representative Mondel of
Wyoming and Representative Gamble of
South Dakota had an interview with Sec
retary Francis this afternoon in which
they protested against the proclamatio ton
They said it was a manifest injustice to
the people there; that it set up a timbe
region where none was needed They
contended that there was no danger of
exhausting the timber supply. that the
setting aside of the Big Horn reserve es-
pecially was a mistake, based only on
recommendations of the forest commit
tee whose knowledge Of the conditions.
they said, was certainly Inadequate
The action was pointed out as retar1ing
the growth and settlement of the states
interested and shutting off DEVELOPMENT
of their great resources.
They contend that the reservat tions en-
braced valuable mineral deposits which
could be worked to the profit of the coun-
try and that these were wrongfully bar
red from being utilized. Secretary Fran
els, together with Arnold Hague. one of
the commissioners. talked over the mat

the members might receive the proper

AFTER NOTARY COONEY's SCALP.
Grand Jury of San Francisco Has His
Case in Charge.

San Francisco, Feb. 23.-The grand jury
now has the criminal charges against
Notary j. ]. Cooney under investigation.
and the chances are that four or five in
dictments will be found against him. AL
though there are now three charges of
perjury against Cooney. and evidence has
been taken on but one it has been a long
and tedious proceeding. The evidence. in
the opinion of Judge Cook. rendered Sat
urday, when he denied the motion to dis
miss the charge of perjury, not only
tends to show that Cooney committed
perjury when he made the sworn state
ment that Fair acknowledged the val
dity of Mrs. Craven's pencil deeds on
September 21. 1894. but that he committed
forgery in attaching those acknowledge
ments to the deeds.
The making of fraudulent acknowledge
ments to a deed is as much forgery under
the statutes of the state as making of
fraudulent deeds.
