ADMINISTRATION OPPOSED
To the Arbitration Treaty as Made
Over by the Senate.

New York, Feb. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
Anglo-American arbitration treaty. as
amended by the. senate committee on
foreign relations, is highly objectiona-
BILE to the administration. If the treaty,
in it's present amended shape, is rati-
fed by the senate it will not be pro-
claimed during the present year or
during Lord Salisbury's incumbency Of
office in England. Such, at least, is
the opinion or leading members of the
administration, who are recognizing
that Lord Salisbury has already made
considerable political capital for him
self out Of the fact that he was able
to successfully negotiate a treaty with
the Cleveland administration.
1t is not definitely known whether
Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Paunco-
fote have conferred regarding the COM
mittee amendment, but your corre-
spondent has positive knowledge that
the administration officials have aban-
doned all hope Of the acceptance of the
treaty by Great Britain, if ratified in
its amended form.
Your correspondent has also learned
of another important amendment to
the treaty that did not leak out until
Sunday morning. The whole Of Article
VII. was stricken out, which has the
effect Of still further limiting the opera
tions of the treaty. This article pro-
vides Objections to the jurisdictions of
an arbitration tribunal constituted un-
der this treaty shall not be taken ex-
cept as provided in this article
IF, before the close of hearing of
claim submitted to an arbitral tribunal
constituted under Article III. or Article
v either of the high contracting par
tics shall move such tribunal to decide
and thereupon 1t shall decide, that the
determination of such claim neces-
sarily involves the decision of ques-
ton Of disputed principle of grave gem

representative of the Associated Press
Mr.. Wilson said
"It is true that I have been invited
into President McKinley's cabinet. I
have accepted. That is all there is to
say about the matter
1t is generally known that Mr.. Will
son will be secretary Of agriculture, he
having wired to Senator Allison today
that that portfolio had been offered and
accepted.
James Wilson was born Aug. 16, 1885,
in AYRSHIRE, Scotland, of parents be-
longing to the farming class Of the pop
ulation His parents immigrated to
Connecticut in the spring of 1852 and
began farming in the vicinity Of Nor
wich. They came to Iowa in the fall
Of 1856, buying government land in
Tama county. James is the oldest Of
a family of fourteen, seven boys and
seven girls. His father, John Wilson,
was a stock farmer and began at an
early day to fatten stock for the East
ern market. The family pursued di-
versified farming, having made the
dairy feature prominent from the be-
ginning, as well as that Of meat MAX
ing.
James was sent to the twelfth Iowa
assembly to get the stocks act enacted,
challenging the custom Of permitting
stock to run at large. He was re-elect-
ed to the thirteenth and fourteenth
general assemblies, being speaker of
the house in the last assembly in
which he served. The code Of 1873 was

BATTLING FOR BIRDS.
Seizure of Game at Fargo Results
I'm Legal Fight.


MOORHEAD, Mimi, Feb. lon
Wednesday the 1,60O-b -bird-seizure case
Will come up in Justice Odegaard's
court, and a lively legal fight Is antici-
pated. The game was replevined by
e. W. Davis, Of Detroit, after it had
been brought back from North Dakota
and shipped to St Paul. The replevin
papers were served ON Agent Johnson,
Of the Northern Pacific, who at first
refused to surrender the eleven boxes
Of birds. He was finally induced to
open the freight house. and Davis, ac-
companied by Deputy Sheriff Holbeck
and Expressman Barnard, hauled the
game away.
1t was a surprise to every one that a
justice Of the peace could issue a writ
Of replevin for property worth from
$500 to $500, as his jurisdiction in such
cases is limited to $780, An examina-
ton Of the records showed that Davis
had sworn that the value of the game
was $50. This would bring the action
within the Jurisdiction Of the Justices
court, and the writ was granted. State
Agent Fullerton will be in court on
Wednesday morning, supported by able
legal talent, and there are several
people shaking i'm their boots in antici-
patton Of the outcome of the case. 1t
is very probable that the matter will
be carried into the district court, and
that the grand jury may be called upon
to investigate several things connected
with the case.

TROUBLE DROVE HER INSANE.
PitifuI Results of q WOman's Search
for Her Children.

REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, Feb. l.
Information has just reached here Of
the insanity Of Mrs. John Spofford,
who about a week ago left this point
for Houston, Texas, for the purpose Of
regaining possession of her three child
ren, which were kidnapped from her on
the farm of Charles Zuberbies in this
county, by her husband and two un-
known men some time last summer.
About ten days ago she left New Ulm
for Texas, after having been furnished
considerable money that was in her
possession. In Kansas she became
violently insane, and the railroad en-
ployes were obliged to commit her
to the care of a judge Of probate. On
her clothes was found a letter from
John Lind to leading attorneys In
Houston, but only a few small pieces
Of money.
Friends and relatives here are now
attempting to get her brought back
from Kansas and committed to one
of the institutions in this state.
Altogether, the affair Is one Of the
most pitiful spectacles that has ever
ccme before the people Of Redwood
county.

ing his last term in the house and was
reelected to the Forty-fourth congress-.
He retired at the end Of his second
term to his farm, when he was appoint
ed by Gov. Sherman a member of the
railway commission. After serving one,
year he resigned to take his seat In
the Forty-eighth congress. At the end
or this congress he again retired to his
rarm, when several editors Of county
papers arranged with him to write
weekly letters for their papers, which
he has continued to do until the pres
ent time.
In 1891 he was elected director Of the
Iowa station and professor of agricul-
ture by the trustees of the Iowa Agri-
cultural college, positions he has held
up to the present time.

questions at issue, and that 1t simply
provided for a commission to deter
mine an astronomical line, a line OF
longitude which might be found by
competent surveyors. AS to what is
the shore line and other questions Of
dispute, they will remain undetermined
after the commission provided for in
the present treaty has concluded It's
duties. Those who are opposed to the
general arbitration treaty say that
the principal disputes over the Alaskan
boundary remain to be determined un-
der the general arbitration treaty.
In executive session Of the senate
today the arbitration treaty between
the United States and Great Britain
was reported with the amendments
made by the committee on foreign re-
lations, Some discussion took place
as tc when the treaty would be taken
up for consideration, and a DISPOSE
tion was shown that 1t should be over
until it could be printed es amended.
The senate also took up the japanese
treaty with reference to trade marks,
ETC., features Of which have been pub
HShed, and ratified it.
Senator Morgan, notwithstanding the
fact that the treaty was to go over, in
sisted on expressing his views to some
extent on the subject. After he had
talked some time, the senate concluded
not to make public at present the
amendments made by the committee
on foreign relations, several senators
desiring this course for the present.
Senator Morgan made it very plain in
his remarks that he was opposed to
the treaty.
Several senators expressed the opin-
ion that the amendments as well as
the treaty should be made public, and
also took the stand that it's discussion
should be public, in order that the peO
pie might see the advantages or de-
fects in the instrument, and several
senators announced their intention of
giving as much publicity to the treaty
as possible.

SOME PROTECTION TALK.
North Dakota WooHgrosvers Address
Resolutions to Congress.

BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. 1.-The COM
mittee appointed by the North Dakota
Woolgrowers' association to urge upon
congress the necessity of protection for
woolgrowers, has addressed the fol-
lowing communication to Senator
Hansbrough and Congressman John
son: ~
The woolgrowers of North Dakota want a
fair and moderate duty on wool in ordinary
condition, as it comes from the sheep, and
proportionately higher duties on prepared
wool. They want square deal and tariff
measure free. from the skulduggery injected
into the proviso in section 3S3-of the Mckinley
bill pertaining to skirted woels and sorted.
They expect specific duty Of not less than

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. In

doubt that Judge Joseph McKenna.
Of the United States circuit court, will
be the Pacific coast representative In
McKinley's cabinet. Judge McKenna
was asked today If he had formally
accepted cabinet position. THAT in

positions Of Senator Sherman and Mr..
Gage differ materially from my own.
and until the president-elect has first

neither admission nor denial"

Farmer Has Narrow Escape mt u
Railway Crossing.

Special to the Globe.
WINONA, Mimi, Feb. IA German
named Henry Volker has had very
narrow escape from a violent death.
He was crossing the Northwestern road
track to his home In Wisconsin. In
front of him was a boy driving another
team. At the crossing, which was q
private one in a meadow, were bars to
be taken down. The first team had
been driven through, and was waiting
for the set Of bars ON the far side to
be removed This made the horses Of
Volkers team stand directly on the
track. Suddenly from around a bend
shot a late passenger, making tremend-
Gus time. Before the horses could es-
cape they were torn from the wagon
and both instantly killed, one of them
being carried on the locomotive q
quarter of a mile before the train could
be stopped. Vollxer was not in the least
hurt. No blame is attached to the rail-
road.

The heavier wools being produced in farming
country where sheep travel over plowed ground
the shrinkage Of the wool seldom averages over
90 per cent. During the existence Of the Wilson
tariff many sheepraisers and woolgrowers in
while the survivors have been barely paying
expenses, while waiting for the return to
power Of men and measures devoted to
American industry and American success. We
trust, in behalf of the woolgroWers, that
such time has now arrived.
The communication is signed by Du-
gald Campbell, president Of the North
Dakota WoolgroWers' association;
Charles Krouth, secretary, and J. E.
Phelan, member of the executive COM
mittee.

guished services as comptroller Of the

barrassments and complications, have
