LIVERPOOL MARKET.
Its Needs wiz Re Large for Num-
her of Months.

WASHINGTON, Sept. PA summa-
ry of the condition of the Liverpool
market for breadstuffs is supplied the
state department by United States
Consul Boyle, at that place. The i'm
ports into Liverpool from this country,
he says, probably will be on a liberal
scale, for some time, the estimate being
so, GOO to 10000 quarters weekly for some
months. The demand for maize is
large, and the imports into Liverpool
during the past year surpassed all pre-
vious records. The United States con-
tributed more than two-thirds of the
whole The coming years demand
upon the United States is estimated at
so, 900 to $4,000 quarters weekly.
The Liverpool trade, the consul
writes, is often much disappointed by
the unreliable uncertain character IF
the inspection at certain American
ports, and especially to the more
southerly ports, and also by heavy
shortages, amounting at times to as
much as five to seven per cent, in con-
signments of grain. This latter loss
arises from the practice of weighing
the grain only in the terminal elevator,
and not directly into the ship. There
is also complaint against other south

Attempt to Abolish Ward Funds
Voted Down.

AT the regular Monday evening ses-
sion of the Minneapolis charter COM
mission last evening Commissioners
Steele, Hawley, Walker, Atwater,
Child, Quinland, Stoft, Pillsbury, Cob
en-, Davenport, Jones, Downs and
ing of the minutes, a communication
from Albert Dollenmeyer, recommends
ing the adoption of the Milwaukee
civil service system was read. This
system requires the appointment OF
four commissioners, who have the
power to choose secretary, who shall
look after the bulk of the work and
conduct the examinations for COM
pensation to be fixed by the four COM
missioners, the secretary to receive a
salary fixed by the commission.
Upon the call for reports of commit
tees Commissioner Pillsbury read a
partial report from the committee
first part of which dealt with those
sections which would have to be modi-
fled to meet the requirements of other
parts of the charter which have not
yet been decided upon. The first Sec
ton of any interest was that relating
to the raising of money for ward pur-
poses. The recommendation was that
the alderman or aldermen from each
of the several wards should name the
amount necessary to defray the ex-
penSeS of their respective wards, and
that such amounts should be approved
by the controller or mayor with the
concurrence Of the council. After some
discussion Commissioner Hawley NOV
ed as a substitute for the motion to
adopt the recommendation of the COM
m1ttee that it be the sense of the COM
mission that ward funds be dispensed
with altogether and that the charter
be Worded accordingly.
After considerable discussion the
substitute motion was lost, and after
some slight changes the recommended
ton was adopted, placing the matter
of fixing the amounts necessary for
expenses for the various wards in the
hands of the ward alderman and the
city engineer the recommendation of
the alderman committee was adopted.
A section providing that the may
or, comptroller, and treasurer be
made sinking fund commissioners by
virtue of their Office was adopted.
Another recommendation to the eff
ect that in the issuing of new bonds to
replace old bonds, when the sinking
fund was not sufficiently large to re-
deem the old, the rate of interest on
the new should not exceed that of the
old, was approved.
The next recommendation to the eff
feet that the issuing of time checks by
city officials should be prohibited, called
for good deal of debate. The change
recommended was that all employees
should be paid by signing the pay roll,
and that other precautions should be
taken to prevent the large leakage
which is said to take place annually
through the time check system. En-
gineer Cappelen presented the claim
that it was manifestly unfair to keep
laborer from securing his pay until
the end of the month if his work ran
out near the first. 1t was thought,
however. that as the matter of pay
ments would largely be in the hands
of the executive under the new char
ter this would not be a serious objec-
ton and the recommendation was car
ried.

BEET SUGAR SEEDS FREE.
Twelve Toms Are to BE Distributed
s by the Department.,

by the Department..
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Secretarv
watson, of the agricultural department.,
has secured an order from the postof-
flee department permitting the agents
OF the agricultural department to at
tach the department frank to packages
of sugar-beet seed to be sent from
growers to the experiment stations
throughout the country for analysis.
Last spring the agricultural depart
ment sent sugar-beet seed to farmers
IN tWenty-SeVen states. 1t is now the
intention to test the beets grown from
these seed in the various localities for
saccharine strength, and it is desired
that this work shall be conducted at
the experiment stations. Under the ar
engagements made today with the post
office department, the officials at the
experiment stations will be allowed
to send postal franks to all farmers
to whom they supplied seeds by the
use OF which they can send through
the mails, free of cost, packages Of
beets not exceeding four pounds in
weight.
Returns have been received from
some of the experimental growths, and
Secretary Wilson said today that th4
results were such as to encourage the
belief that sugar beets could be sue
cessfully grown in almost all of the
states of the Union. Contrary to his
expectations, the best reports have
been received from the South rather
than from the North. Beets grown
in the vicinity of Richmond, Va, give
returns of from 10 to IS per cent Of
saccharine matter, and from the Pecos
valley, in New Mexico, of from IS to 22
per cent. In Europe an average of -
per cent is considered large. 1t is M.
Wilson's intention to distribute twelve
tons of sugar-beet seeds next spring
Heretofore all the seeds distributed
by the department have been procured
in Europe. The growers in Utah have
promised three tons this year, and it
is expected that other localities in the
United States will furnish part of the
supply necessary.

Survey of Reservation in Montana
Completed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Informa
ton received at the office of the COM
missioner of the general land office is
to the effect that the survey of the
Blackfoot Indian reservation in Mon
tana is completed. The reservation is
now ready to be thrown open to settle
ment as soon as the reports can be pre-
pared and approved by the interior de-
partment. There have been charges
that the department was delaying the
survey in order. to give favored per-
sons an advantage in securing the rich
mineral deposits, which, it is believed,
will be found upon the lands of the
reservation. Commissioner Hermann
today that the work had proceeded
with all possible dispatch, and that
the approved plat, which would be the
final act of the survey, would probably
be filed in the local land office within
the next sixty days. The lands will
be subject to entry only under the min
ing laws, and Mr.. Hermann calls atten-
ton to the fact that the original pro-
vision giving those who have already
located mining claims the right to hold
them for ninety days, had been repeal

hitched to the wagon. William lay on the
ground with hole IN his head. A shot gun
told the story. A large cartridge had been
used with which to commit the deed
There was no known motive for the deed
1t is supposed that it was committed shortly
after l o'clock. The suicide was a single
man, 26 years of age. and was son of Fred
Scheiber Sr., wealthy farmer, who lives a
half mile from the scene of the tragedy.
Coroner Dennis viewed the remains and de-
cided to take no further action, as in his

of United States cavalry passed through this
city this afternoon ems route for the Fort
Hall Indian agency at Rossfork to quell the
anti-school riots there. ABOUT a hundred of
the young bucks have determined that the
girls shall not go to school, and in this they

also hostile to the idea of having their chill

about three weeks ago, when thirteen
year-old girl was gathered hp by the Indian
police in their roundup o6(the school chill

summer, and her husband and his friends,
according to the police, took her away from
them after shary struggle. Since then the
young bucks have been running things with
a high hand. Every girl over nine years
old is claimed by some buck as his wife.
The Indian police were set upon, beaten,
and their arms taken from them. Agent 1r-
win, finding his police poweriess, called on on
the troops for aid, and declared that the girls
shall go to school if it takes the whole United
States army to send them there The h claim
