FARGO, N. D., May 1.-THE inquest
over the remains of William Bryan,
who was found murdered near Cando,
has brought to light a clew which may
lead to the arrest of the murderer
Several days ago Sheriff Wilson re-
ceived a package of letters from Sher-
if Proctor of Cascade county. Mont,
relative to a murder alleged to have
been committed near Fargo last Feb
ruary. The letters were written by o.
D. Wickger, of Chinook, Mont, who
claimed to have seen the letter written
by one Mcbride confessing a murder
and burying the body at night. The
Montana authorities have the author
of of the letter where they can place
him under arrest at moments no
tice, and are only awaiting informa-
ton from here. Coroner John Alden, of
Cando, believes the Bryan murder the
one referred to and today telegraphed
Sheriff Wilson for the correspondence.

Where Is Mr.. Ames.

FARGO N. D., May 7.-Considerable in
terest is taken here in the reported disap-
pearance of c. C. Ames, of the firm OF Ames
& Lockman grain commission, Duluth.
Ames formerly lived in Fargo, and is well
known IN North Dakota. About two years ago
he and A. ]. Lockman, of Lamoure, formed
a partnership with Ames to run tie Duluth
office and Lockman to work up North Da-
kota trade. 1t is reported that Ames dis
appeared about ten days ago, and the office
accounts do not balance by $4,000, with La
bilities of several thousand more Ames' &C
ton is a surprise here, as he was favorably

WASHINGTON, May I'm reply to
inquiries as to his views on a perma-
nent tariff commission, Senator Cullom
has written the following letter.
Samuel B. Archer, Secretary of the Tariff
Commission League: You have asked me two
or three times whether have been and am
now in favor of a permanent tariff commits
SIGN. I have for many years thought that
there ought to be some means devised by
which we could avoid these constant and ex-
IRENE changes in tariff legislation-frst going
far in the direction Of high tariff. and on
the occasion of change of politics going as
far the other way. l believe that through
the jud:cious agency of a permanent tariff
commission, composed of experts, statistic.ans
and business men, such changes could be
made from year to year, by congress, as
might be indicated and clearly shown to be
wise. This would the necessity of re-
curing change on the whole tariff system
by whatever party came into power.
Certainly cannot continue indefinitely as
we have been doing, with reference to that
subject, because the business the contrary
VIII not tolerate 1t. l hope sincerely that
this congress may provide for some kind of
a commission which will aid in changing the
situation, and I should be glad if an amend
ment of the indicated character were to be
incorporated IN the bill now before the SEN
ate, known as the Dingley bill.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL AT WAR.
Hot Times at Sioux Falls Over
Liquor Licenses.


Liquor Licenses.
Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., May 1.-The
city is excited over a sharp fight be-
tween the mayor, who is Republican,
and the council, which is Populist. Re-
Gently the mayor expressed a determi-
nation to change the police force, as
sorting that despite his positive orders
the police were protecting the gamblers
and saloons. The saloon keepers at
once went to work, elected one of their
number alderman and with him as
spokesman and leader made combina-
ton to prevent change in the force.
Last night the mayor. nominated three
irreproachable men for policemen, but
they were promptly rejected. This
afternoon he dismissed, for cause, the
chief and two police and appointed
specials to take their places. The
council threatens to retaliate by cut
ting their pay to ten dollars per month.
1t is likely that the rest of the force
will be dismissed in a few days. The
fight is bitter one and occurs chiefly
over the declaration of the mayor that
he would enforce to the letter the new
liquor law which is very stringent.

Ancient Means of DEFENSE.

Before the days of artillery the moat was
an effective means of defense, particularly
when filled with water. In very large forts
OF castles it sometimes assumed the dimen-
sions of a lake being often 100 yards vide and
ten to twenty feet deep. The moat
crossed by drawbridge which could be
raised at an instant's notice. When the moat
was too wide to permit of this bridge cover
ing the entire distance slight wooden bridge
was employed.
