WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-The first
meeting of the cabinet since the re-
turn of the president from Massacfr-
sets was held today and was attended
by every member of the cabinet ex-
cept Secretary Gage, who is not in
Washington. The meeting lasted long
er than usual, in explanation Of which
fact it was said that several of the
cabinet members were present for the
first time in many weeks, and natural
ly they sought the opportunity to in
form themselves fully upon the condi-
ton of affairs upon their return.
Foreign affairs occupied the greater
portion of the time given up to discus
sion, though the prosecution of the
governments case against the Union
Pacific railroad also came in for a good
deal of consideration. Indeed, it is said
that the only action Of the cabinet to-
day was in the direction of closing up
this issue, and it can be stated that
the details of the plan Of the govern
ment have been arranged at last.
The Spanish cabinet crisis attracted
much attention and was discussed at
some length For some reason Mir

Davey Who Figures Prominently in
the LuetGert Case.
WABASHA, Mimi, Oct. 1.-The Wa
basha Herald publishes a story to the
effect that Alfred Davey, who figures
in tn edefense of Luetgert, the Chicago
sausagemaker, was formerly q Mime
sofa man. According to Chicago 1e-
ports this man Davey, by clever mis-
representations regarding an English
sausage syndicate, induced Luetgert
to part with $4,000 for shares of stock
in the syndicate that he never secured
and the loss of this money .lasrened
Luetgert's failure.
About twenty years ago Davey was
a butcher at Weaver Wabasha coun-
ty He attempted to poison a woman
of whom he had become jealous, but
a little child drank the mixture and
died. Davey was indicted, tried, found
guilty and sentenced by Judge Mitch
ell, now on the supreme bench, to life
Imprisonment at Saltwater. Davey
was a smooth and plausible English
man. While in. prison he applied for
a pardon and was refused. In support
of it he used number of petitions
from prominent EngliShmen. They
may have been forged, but so skillfully
had the work been done that their
forged character was not Established
until the men by whom they had pur-
ported to have been written disowned
them. Despite all this Davey managed
to interest many prominent men in his
behalf and he secured a pardon about
eight years ago. He at once went to
Little Falls, Mimi, and commenced
business. Every one was anxious to
aid the man who Professed thorough
reformation, and in a few months he
was able to leave Little Falls in the
night, not neglecting to take away
several thousand dollars that belonged
to his friends. After that Davey is
reported to have run through the
Southern States picking up money
wherever he had a chance.

CHINESE MAY COME.
Simple Means Found for Evading
the Exclusion Act.


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. l.
About 400 Chinese laborers have been
landed in this city during the last five
months and have been given free entry
in the guise of merchants and stu
dents" They are now working in the
orchards in various parts of the state,
in the canneries on the Columbia river
and in dozens of small Chinatown fac
tories. Yesterday forty-one of them
were allowed to pass through the GUS
tom house and an additional hundred
went into quarantine Wednesday night
and are expected to be released today.
The laborers have nearly all come in
on certificates issued in Macao, a de-
tendency of Portugal, and which, I'M
der an opinion Of the attorney general
Of the United States delivered May 20,
1896, must be recognized as prima facie
evidence of the right of their bearers
to land. The opinion was in effect that
the British registrar general at Hong
Kong, the commissioner of customs at
Canton. and the officer of any other for
eign country possessing dependencies
in China, should be recognized as COM
petent to sign such documents. No
Identification at this port is called for,
no previous residence here is called for,
and, in short, it seems as though SIM
pie means has been found to success
fully evade the Chinese restriction acts.

SHIPMENT OF SEEDS.
Secretary Wilson Cannot Garry Out
His Plan.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-The agri-
cultural department has been compell-
ed to forego it's decision to distribute
this years seed from Washington, be-
cause Of a decision by Comptroller
Tracewell, of the treasury, that such
distribution would be a violation of the
law by which the appropriation was
made This decision was rendered to-
day in response to a letter from Secre-
tary Wilson. In his reply Mr.. Trace
well says that the appropriation for
last year was in the same language as
that for the present fiscal year, except
ing as to the amount appropriated, and
he calls attention to the fact that At
torney General Harmon rendered a de-
cisfon to the effect that the appropria-
ton of last year authorized the secre-
tary Of agriculture to purchase seeds
already put up in packages and labeled
for distribution. Mr.. TraceweH holds,
in view Of this decision, that while the
secretary can determine the form in
which the contractors shall deiiver the
seeds, he cannot purchase the seeds
and employ persons to put them up or
contract with some one to do that
work.
TT must not be forgotten he adds,

MANY MILLIONS SHORT.
The Fair Estate Not Nearly So
Large as Reported.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 1.-The
Call says today that the appraisers Of
the estate of the late James G. Fair
have completed their task and will pre-
sent their report to the probate court
in a few days The report will show
that the value of the Fair estate has
been much ever-rated. The appraisers
say the official figures will be about
ST.. OO0, 600 and certainly not more than
S15. coo 600. These figures have been
reached after seven months of con-
tinuous and careful work by the ap-
praisers. Fairs fortune is invested for
the most part in real estate, the greater
part of which is in this city, but the
principal item of the estate consists OF
81. 600 600 in bonds of the Southern Pa
cific Coast railroad built by Fair and
now a part of the Southern Pacific sys-
tenn. The valuation of the Fair estate
is significant in view of the testimony
given by Fair in a trial several years
ago in Yolo county, when in reply to
question he said he was worth at least
$50, 0o0. 900. It is evident that in the
last few years Of his life Fair sustained
serious losses, the facts concerning
which are carefully concealed.

The Passenger Rates Between ST.
Paul and Chicago Expected to
BE Firmer for While.

w. A Clark. of the Montana bank
ing firm of w. A Clark & Bro, who
are also immense copper mine owners
in both Montana and Arizona, passed
through here yesterday on his way
home from the East, where he has
been watching the construction at
Elizabeth, n. J., of an immense cop
per wire factory where generous sup
ply of the product of his mines will
be handled and manufactured. This
factory Mr.. Clark expects to be in op-
Grafton in three weeks. After being
home short time, he will pay a. visit
to his sugar factory at Anaheim, near
Los Angeles, Cal The Clark mines and
plants include the United Verde plant
in Arizona, and among the Butte prep
critics are the Colusa-Parrit, Stewart
and Original. Then there is a big
smelling plant at jerome, Ariz.
Mr.. Clark explains that the big ex-
tension of electric plants and railways
across the water has absorbed large
quantities of copper of this country,
and the United States is glad of the
opportunity to dispose at good figures
of what really is an excess over the
demand on this side. Speaking Of this
matter, Mr.. Clark said:
I'VE export to Germany, England
and France monthly from 11,000 to 49,,
900 tons of copper, most of it going to
Germany. The ruling price on Lake
Superior copper is from liz to LIZ
cents per pound, while we are able to
get for our product, which is electro
Htic copper taken from the Western
mines within Is or a of cent
pound of those figures.
"All the copper which we sell for ex-
port leaves this country via New York
or Baltimore, and when prosperity
has fully returned, with the dimlnu-
ton of the visible supply, the statist1-
cal position looks to me as favorable
for better prices, for, although the sup
ply will increase some, it will hardly
keep pace with the increased demand
for the brown stuff"

TO FISH FOR MUsKALoNGE.
Party Of Twin City Sportsmen Go to
wisconsin.

A merry little party of "congenials"
started away on the Wisconsin Central
last night for a trip over Sunday to
Pike lake, one of the pretty fishing
lakes near Fifeld, in Wisconsin. There
were in the party Capt. Charles Com
iskey, Judge J. c. Nethaway, Clar-
ence Robb and Herman Brown, of St.
Paul; 'Varney" Russell, Clarence
Saulspaugh and Dell Rudd of Mime
apolis. The number will be increased
at Abbottsford, on the line, when
James Pond, of the Wisconsin Central
and Ban Johnson, of the Western
league, viii be declared in.
The sleeper was we'll stocked with
tackle and other plumber, and the lit
tie trip will no doubt be a pleasant
one. The anglers are in quest Of
muskalonge, and took everything along
from a spoon trout hook to flour sacks
in which to bring home their catch.
The fishermen will ride twenty miles
in wagons bright and early this morn
ing from Fifeld station to Pike. lake.

Kentucky walnut Tree.

The largest curled walnut tree known to
exist in Eastern Kentucky was sold by Will
a Rockhouse (Ky.) special to the New York
Sun. He received $500 for the tree. 1t is
80 feet to the first limb and nearly 6 feet in
diameter at the butt, tapering very gradually.
1t was sawed down close to the ground and
by counting the rings it was found that the
tree was nearly 400 years old. 1t is esti-
mated that it will cost more than $1,000 to
get it across the mountains to Norton, Va,
which is the nearest railroad station. 1t will
have to be cut into small pieces so it can
be hauled through Pound gap. When manu-
estimated that it will be worth from SIS, 00C
to $40, 900.

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
Thorough Test Given a Device fer
Locomotive Engineers.


A very ingenious and valuable con-
trivance for the saving Of life by pre-
venting railroad accidents through for
getfulness of trainmen has been IN
vented and patented by H. De Wal
lace. of the municipal court, in this
city The machine has just stood a
very severe test on the Great Northern
railroad, after having been previously
operated successfully on the St Paul
& Duluth road. Practical railroad men
in this section have given strong in
dorsements to the device after seeing
it's work The object of the device is
to provide an accurate and reliable re-
hinder signal and distance indicator
for locomotives, by means of which EN-
gineers are prevented from forgetting
their train orders as to stopping or
meeting points. The mechanism is
simple but positively connected with
the forward trucks of the engine,
thereby accurately measuring the dis
lance travelled, the dial placed in front
of the engineer showing correctly the
distance travelled. Above the smaller
of the two dials are placed fifteen
triggers, or dogs, piVoted at equal dis
tances around the center. When the
engineer receives his order he sets one
or more of these triggers to point
one mile short of the distance to be
Travelled before reaching stopping
places. The mileage indicator, on
reaching such point releases the tris-
ger, which starts signal whistle
blowing. This continues to blow for
one-quarter of a mile, promptly warn
ing the engineer of the near approach
to the stopping place. If the engi-
neer is inattentive and fails to stop
when this last mile has 'been run over.
the machine sets the air brake and
stops the train for him. A train SINH
larly equipped coming in the opposite
direction would be stopped in the same
manner and a collision prevented. The
device can be made to run forward or
backward. For foggy or stormy wealth
err or for dark nights, the device is
considered especially valuable for ordi-
nary road use, although its life-saVing
feature was the point at first sought
for by Mr.. Wallace. After a trial on
the St Paul & Duluth and repeated
trials on the Fergus Falls division, of
the Great Northern, the new inVen-
ton was given an unusual test on the
recent trip of President J. j. Hill to
the coast and back. For this trip the
new scheme Of one engine, No. 66S,
with Engineer John Kilbane, for the
entire trip was tried, and the new life
saving device was on the engine. For
the 1920 miles to Seattle, on the Great
Northern, 1877 to Portland on the North
ern Pacific, $50 to Spokane on the Ore
gon Railway & Navigation company,
and then through Montana back to st.
Paul. the new device measured all dis
tances with accuracy and by other
tests completely demonstrated its abil-
ity to do all claimed for it. President
Hill has approved it with considerable
enthusiasm, as have other officials on
his road. During the past few months
this new device has been used success
fully on over 1000 miles of road. A
peculiar feature of the test is the fact
that it has been made with the in
Ventor's working model.

local passenger men profess to believe
that for some time to come, at least
there viii be no disturbance in the
