AND NOW COMES THE ITALIAN
NATY TO COLLECT A LITTLE
BILL DUE SINCE 1893.
Hayti Will Not Come Under The
Rod So Readily This Time And
President Sam May Be
Forced To ReSign--Other
Telegraph News.

New York, Dec. IA dispatch TO
the Herald from Port au Prince says:
More trouble of kind similar to the
recent Lueders affair threatens Hay
ii and Port au Prince may have TO
force another menace of lombard
ment.
Italy has long had claims against
Hayti and these, it is alleged, had
never been settled. One claim, which
has been pending since 1893, was the
case of the merchant at Port de Paix,
whose vessel and cargo, with $4,000
were, it is alleged, illegally seized and
sold by the Haytian government. The
other case was that of an Italian fish
erman, who was assasinated here last
October, the man who was accused
of committing the crime not having
been brought to justice yet.
Italy, it is reported intends to push
the settlement of these claims at once
and rumOrs have reached here that
Italian warships are being sent here
to back up the demands.
The new ministry is looked upon
favorably, and it is thought that the
proclamation will have good effect
in quieting the people, who have
been threatening an uprising ever
since the late ministry surrendered 10
Germany's demands.
If Italy follows the course pursued
by Germany by collecting an indemn-
ity for the murder of an Italian sub
ject and the illegal seizure of an Ital-
ian vessel, the belief prevails in Wash
ingtOn that President Sam will be
forced by his people to declare war,
says Il Washington correspondent of
the Herald.
Minister Leger said that he had re-
ceived no information in regard to
this latest phase of Hayti's interna-
tiOnal trouble, but he expected that he
will be early advised of the matter in
order that he may make suitable rep
reservations on the subject to this
government.
Mr.. Leger has repeatedly asserted
that the people of Hayti would oppose
a tame compliance with Germany's
demands and while the Haytians have
no Notifications and navy hOpelessly
inferior to that of Italy, members of
the Haytian legation expect their gov
eminent will not comply with any
peremptory demand which may be
made by Italy, unless it should be
shown that there is justice in the
claim presented by the Italian gov
eminent. These gentlement believe
their government is not responsible for
either of the matters brought to its at
tention by Italy.
1t is expected by the authorities
that in case Italy should determine to
push her claims against Hayd, the
Haytian government will ask this
government to use its good offices for
the settlement of the incident. Until
fully acquainted with the facts the
president will probably outline no poll
cy, but should it be shown that the
claims are just the administration
will not interfere unless Italy should
attempt to make a landing on Hay
tan soil. This latter eventuality is
not considered possibility by the
authorities and should the italian
claims be just the administration will
probably have nothing to say.
The United States cruiser Marblehead
will remain in Port au Prince until
Hayti's troubles are over.

THAT THREE FRIENDS "TRIP
The Spanish Vice Consul at Jackson

The Spanish Vice Consul at Jackson
vile Responsible.
New York, Dec. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
After an investigation extending
over year and half the treasury
department is prepared to deny the
charge made by Spain, that this gov
eminent is responsible for one of the
filibustering expeditions alleged to
have been taken to Cuba by the stea-
mer Three Friends.
The report of the legal adviser of the
Spanish legation states that on July
II, 1896, the Three Friends left Jack.
sonville, Fla, and that though the
Jacksonville authorities were warned.
no steps were taken to prevent the
expedition. The Three Friends sue
ceeded in getting away from Jackson
Vile and the collector was removed
for inefficiency.
A report received from the Jackson
vile collector expresses grave doubt
that at the time mentioned the Three
Friends really conveyed an expedition
to Cuba. Attention is called to the
fact that at the time of the alleged
expedition the Three Friends was un-
der libel proceedings. The collector
also states that whether or not the
Three Friends really violated the neu-
trality laws, the Spanish vice consul
at Jacksonville was responsible for the
failure of the United States authorities
to capture her.

it is our proud office to have been but

This morning the charter petition
stands complete. 1t has attached to it
a number of names largely in excess
of the 8 per cent of the legal voters
as required by law. 1t will be pre-
sented this afternoon to the senior
judge OF the district bench, the Hon.
Hascal r. Brill, at his chambers. Thus
the machinery of the home rule act
will have been put in operation by the
method prescribed in it's terms. We
have done our part and desire only that

cord. Our task is done Henceforth
the work of charter creation will be
confided to the instrumentalities to
which it is assigned by statute.
We do not merely believe, we know,
that the district judges of Ramsey
county will appoint a representative
commission that will give satisfaction
to every fairminded man in this city.
We know that such a commission will
frame a charter along the lines laid
down by the experience of municipal
governments in this country and in
others, and suited to our needs. We
believe that, from the completion of this
and it's adoption at our next election
will date an era of better government
for st. Paul, of stricter economy, of
lower taxation and of ample pro-
vision for all the public needs. The
success of this movement has been be-
yond our most sanguine anticipations.
To the people, who have contaminated

GOLD BENEATH THE SEA.
Rich Lead Struck OF the Coast Of
Alaska.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. June 30
Capt. Robert Linbridge, of the schoon-
er Lila and Matte, which sailed for
the South seas last Monday with a
party of scientists, told to a cores
pondent the story of the discovery of
what is probably the richest gold bear
ing ledge of rock in the world. The
captain spent several months off the
coast or Alaska last summer, and il
was While cruising from point to point
that he made the discovery AS the
coast was new tC him, he was compel
led to do much sounding. One evening
the lead came up with lot of yeIleW
particles attached to it. He cast anchor
in the vicinity, and next morning
found that the anchor also had yellow
metal on it. This caused him to in
vestigate, and he found a quartz led~e
running from the mountain out into
the sea. and found that the quartz
was thickly Veined with gold
He secured many specimens and
brought them with his sounding lead
to this city, and assayers pronounce II
the richest lot of quartz they have
seen. On the report of the experts
company is being formed to investi-
gate and locate the ledge, and when
the captain returns from the South
seas he will take a party to the spot.
Those who are in the secret are doing
all in their power to keep it dark until
they shall have fully established their
claims The captain said the ledge is
thirty feet wide where it has been
washed by the sea, but that on the
shore it can be traced only by the OUT
groupings. AS the climate there will
permit of work six months of the year.
this ledge can be worked to much
greater advantage than other Alaskan
mines

THE GOSH" EDITOR AND THE
Grows

In printing elsewhere the comments
made by some of our fellow workers in
the task of educating and directing
Alright the opinions of the great mass
over whom we all have assumed guar
dianship, upon the sauce with which
the member of the G l o e's editorial
staff, to whom has been given the re-
Taxation and pleasure of gathering the
gems scattered weekly by his colleagues
of the country press, accompanies his
findings, and who has been irreverent-
ly, but perhaps appropriately, dubbed
the josh editor by them, a word Or
two seems proper. 1t is due the editors
of the rural press to acknowledge that
the suggestion of this feature of the
G l o b es editorial page came from one
of them, Mr.. Mitchell, of the Alexan-
dria Post-News, and was accepted be-
cause it offered a variation from that
flat, stale and improbable" custom
of massing a lot Of excerpts, supposed
to reflect the opinion of the press, Sc
lected upon no perceptible principle and
made with perfunctoriness that robs
the act of whatever of compliment
might be implied.
The selections are made with a view
to several ends: To put into a few
words of comment what might be ex-
panded into an editorial that would
only obscure the point; to good-na-
turedly note those slips to which we
ton as educators-ano every editor is,
consciously or not. a schoolmaster-
should make us beware; to catch latent
