England had come down off her high
horse and agreed to hold a convention
at which all the powers interested in
those waters might agree upon some
arrangement by which the seals were
to be preserved for those fortunate
enough to command the garments
made from their. skins. Recently Mr..
Foster was said to be hurrying down
to Washington to arrange for the con-

in reply to the Foster-Sherman tote,
which advises the country of the effect
of that peppery communication.
Salisbury's note indicates just how
far England "came down. She is will

land is willing to ascertain if the as

diminishing and threatening the ex-
istence of the herds This is very far
from the Convention which we were
told England had assented to. 1t is
evident from Ambassador Hays re-
ply to Salisbury that he appreciates
how far it is for he begs to remind his
lordship that "the president expects the
governments of Russia and Japan, ;Jow-
ers interested in the preservation of
seal herds in Bering sea, to be repre-
scented at the conference" If the con
vention" is not to make international
arrangements to preserve the seals, but
is only to be a meeting of experts to
determine if and how much they have
decreased in numbers, it is plain that
neither Russia nor Japan has any in

REWARD FOR THEIR CAPTURE.
RAILWAY AND OTHER DETECT
IVES AT MOoRHEAD HUNTING
FOR CLUES.
Their Description Secured From
Trackmen-StOry of the
Trainmen.

Special to the Globe.
MOORHEAD, Mimi, Sept 2S.-The
robbers who held up the Northern Pa
cific train east of here on Sunday
morning secured less than $100 all told.
Instead of there being number OF
robbers the officers are now certain
that there were but two. If this is
true, it was a remarkably neryy piece
of work During Saturday afternoon
the two men were seen in company
with a third, who is not thought to
have had any connection with the job.
They were talked with by different
parties while walking down the track
to Glyndon to pick out a place to do
their work From these parties and
the train crew a very complete deserip-
ton has been obtained. Contrary to the
general impression, the large man was
not the leader, but it was the shorter
of the two. He is about twenty-four
years of age, weight $50 pounds, height
five feet five inches smokes cigarettes,
and his voice and manner are those
of a habitual tough. He is very dark,
had straight, close-cut black hair. was
smooth shaver, except a short, stubby
black mustache. His eyes were black
ana ne cannot look one SCfalSnC out
of the eye, but projects his brows and
tuyns his eyes, partially looking up
with them in that position from under
his broWs. He wore a narrow rim
black hat, nearly new black sack
suit with square cut coat, brown shirt,
and tie with narrow white stripes. The
second man is five feet ten inches in
height, weighs $50 pounds. and is about
twenty-seven years old. He is smooth
shaven, and his straight brown hair is
cut short. He wore a soft black hat
black sack suit, coat cut square and
faded. He had a pair of narrow gray
and black-striped pants drawn over the
black ones, a cotton shirt. with blue
and white stripes, black tie, well Worn
black laced shoes, with pointed toes
Besides the United States marshals
and Northern Pacific detectives there
are several other detectives in the

WILL USE A SAND SUCKER.
Scheme of Capt. Short to Extract
Gold From the Yukon.

Gold From the Yukon.
An Ell Dorado in every river bed.
bonanza in every stream. That is what
Capt. Ira Short thinks of the Klon-
dixie, and he argues from an apparent
ly reasonable standpoint.
A brand new KIondike scheme has
been developed, and company is be
ing organized to carry it out. The plan
is to mine on the Yukon and its trib-
utaries by hydraulic power, the use
of a steam sand sucker, such as is
utilized on the Mississippi river for
pumping out channels. The promoters
are Capt. Ira Short and his son, Capt
Harry c. Short, both we'll known
steamboat pilots residing at Pullman
avenue, ten miles south of ST. Paul
Interested with them are two capital
lists by the name of Woolley. of Grin
nell 10, and altogether they have
abundant capital to make the expert
ment; in fact, the necessary machin-
cry has already been purchased and is
on it's way to Seattle, thence to be talk
en- to Alaska early next spring.
Capt. Short, the elder, reasons that
as gold exists in the akloIdilee country
in such fabulous quantities, it must
necessarily wash down the streams and
into the rivers, lying in a rich deposit
on their beds. He has not only seen
the sand suckers at work oftentilnes,
Dut ne mas also operated them himself
and the idea suggested itself to him
that this same plan could be used in
mining, and he will put his idea into
execution A boat will be built to
convey the machinery up the Yukon,
and on arriving at the gold fields the
sand sucker will be put at work, pump

that there will be no claims to buy. and

NO" CHARGE AGAINST HIM
Relief Agent Hutchins Causes the
Arrest of John Kelly.

A man giving the name of John Kelly
was arrested by Officer Dave Hennes-
sey at the store of Lindeke, Warner
q Schurmeier yesterday, upon com
plant of Relief Agent Hutchins. Mr.
Hutchins claims that the prisoner has
been vletimizing business men by SELL
ing tickets for an alleged benefit ball
which is represented to be in the inter
ests of the widow of a railroad en-
pioye, who recently lost his life through
accident. According to Relief Agent
Hutchins, an investigation shows that
there is no name in the directory given
by the alleged swindler as that of the
suffering widow, and when Kelly was
found yesterday. he was ordered locked
up. He is said to have assumed the
alias of McCord in his solicitations
among the business houses. No charge
is made against Kelly at the station.

the police court today. He stoutly de-

1T is MINNEsoTA,s BUTTER
That the Eastern Dealers Consider
the Choicest.

At the meeting of the chamber of
commerce yesterday forenoon, Mai
Espy introduced a resolution designed
tG make known to the outside world
the admittedly superior quality of Min
nesota butter Maj. Espy said that he
had recently Travelled through New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
and learned that for choice butter the
dealers always ordered Elgin cream
cry. under the impression that that
brand~ef butter was the product of a
particular Illinois creamery He had
explained to them the high rank taken
by the Minnesota article, and all the
dealers with whom he talked had ex-
pressed a wish to. secure the product
Of Minnesota creameries. He therefore
introduced the following resolution
Whereas, The high standard of Min
nesota butter being superior TO any
other made. is not generally known
throughout the country,
Resolved, That the mercantile com
mittee is hereby directed to investigate
and report the best methods of extend
ing this information.
Maj. Espy's idea was that a circular
should be prepared and distributed
among the merchants for enclosure in
their outgoing letters. His resolution
was adopted.

WITH WHOLESOME FEAR.
Pine Land Trcspassers So Regard
the State Authorities.

There is very little tresspassing
done on state pine lands of late years. .
remarked Deputy Auditor Iverson, to
G1 o b e reporter yesterday. Our
cruisers who made their report con-
corning the timber to be sold next
month, say that there were very few
cases where they found some one had
been cutting pine belonging to the
state. and the appearance of the cut
ting showed that this had not been a
recent offense.
you see the state gets after these
fellows, pretty sharp. and, although
criminal proceedings against them are
rare, they are usually very willing to
settle Where the trespass was unin-
territorial such as breaking over the
line from property adjoining which be-
longs o~the trespasser, the state only
requires the payment for the actual
timber cut, as reckoned from the
stumpage; but if the theft is commit
ted Intentionally and with malice
aforethought, as the lawyers say, the
state exacts treble penalty"

FRANK DAYS VOTE.
Supreme Court viii Say Whether
1t Counted or Not.

Attorney General Childs returned yes
terday from Brainerd, where ne was
engaged in the trial of the case re-
lating to the taxation Of railroad lands
In speaking Of it, he said that the case
was merely one of legal points, and
some of them were very pretty ques-
tions of law, too. and will be passed
upon by the supreme court, as the case
will be appealed, no matter which side
wins in the district court.
The attorneys for the defense claimed
that the law was never passed. or that
there was no record that it had ever
been, in answer to which, Atty. Gen.
Childs submitted a copy of the legis
lative proceedings of 1897, showing that
such a law was of record. The only
other important point brought up by
the defense was the question of the
right of Senator Frank Day to vote
on the measure when introduced in the
session of 1895.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 27-Judge E.
Stone and Judge ]. R. Marsh, of the county
court quarreled while the court was in ses-
sion today. and with clinched fists and eyes
swapping with anger, sprang at each other
and struck blows that were warded off by
the other officers of the court who were
present. The board of equalization recently
raised the PERSONAL tax assessment of nearly
every merchant of Kansas City. Today the
merchants appeared before Judges Stone,
Marsh and Chrisman and County Assessor
Bowers. board of appeals, and entered
vigorous protests against the raise. During
the progress of the hearing Judge Stone
charged Messrs Marsh and Bower with being
responsible for the enhanced taxation Marsh

attaches springing between the angered men.

The G 0 b e seems to imagine that because
the editor of the Herald does not draw his
inspiration from Room 1, Clover building,
Washington, that therefore he is not as
orthodox in his Republicanism as the editor
of the Monticello Times. Of course if peo-
pie allow political machine to do all their
thinking fer them and are satisfied with re-
cording the stereotyped ideas of hack writer
in Washington, they will never wander out
side party lines. But after al, the Repub-
liean party is best served by the one who
does his own thinking, and when the time
comes, supports his political belief with the
force of originality rather than with the pre-
cision of an automaton pulled by wires

No, the G l o h e imagines no such thing,
for no such good sense ever came out of
Room 1 as has appeared in the Herald since
Gov. Clough made his very judicious selec-
ton of an adjutant general. And, we may
add, it is not only any party, but the coun-
try that is best served when editors do
their own thinking and give it honest, candid
and fearless expression.
