TROUBLESOME SECTION 22.
No Special Clause Needed for 1t,
Enforcement.


Enforcement.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The attor-
ney general will not render an opinion
on section % of the tariff act until next
week. Representative Stevens, of ST.
Paul, who is in Washington fresh from
a conference with Chairman Dingley,
treats this matter very lightly, but his
roseate views are not shared by the
officials of the treasury department
Congressman Stevens says there is no
provision for the enforcement of Sec
ton o. Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Howell says no special pro-
vision is necessary for the enforcement
of any schedule Of the tariff bill
The statement that this clause was
inserted in the tariff bill with the
knowledge of all the Republican mem
bers of the house is ridiculed by of
ficials of the treasury department, who
carefully watched the course of the
Dingley bill from the time it was re-
ported from the committee until it was
signed by the president. 1t has caused
the government more annoyance than
any other section of the law, and the
time and attention which Attorney
General McKenna is giving to his opin-
ion is an indication of the Importance
of the subject. Traffic between Mex
leo and the United States will be al
most as largely affected as between
this country and Canada, and every
day the interest in the decision of
Judge McKenna grows. Should it up
set the arrangements which have been
in vogue for more than quarter of
a century, there is no doubt that con-
sress will be compelled to modify or
repeal this obnoxious clause immedi-
ately after it convenes in December

University.

day afternoon after the most successful ses-
sion yet held The school opened Aug. q,
ana has run for four weeks. 1t is part of
the state system of summer schools, and

state. The faculty was chosen from among
the leading instructors and professors in the
high schools, normal schools and the uni
versity.
The attendance this session has been larger
than ever before. The totals for the two Sec
tions, elementary and university, are 1,247,
an Increase of about IS. OF this number
about one-third have been in the university
section. They number 40 more than last
year, bringing the totals up to 1902. This is
others connected with the school. for they
wish to make the university summer school
distinctly university affair. AS it grows
more SO each year their wishes come nearer
realization.
One of the features of the session has
been the series of lectures delivered every

MEN WITHOUT MONEY,
They Are BEING Landed in Alaska
by Tramp Steamers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-Several
complaints have reached the treasury
department recently, that large num-
bers of men bound for the Klondike
country, but without provisions or
money, are now being landed at ST
MichaePs, Alaska. None of the regular
lines of steamers, it is said, will book
parties for the Klondike, who are not
provided with a sufficient amount Of
provisions and money to maintain
themselves for a reasonable time, with
out danger of suffering. Some of the
tramp lines of steamers, however, are
said to ship any one who can pay for
his passage without regard to the flu
ture. The result, is said to be, that a
considerable crowd is accommodating in
the vicinity of st. Michaels, who al
ready are becoming dependent upon the
charity of others for their food. This
unexpected situation, it is feared, will
lead to trouble before the winter is
over, and the treasury department has
been asked to interfere to prevent YES
sells from taking to Alaska persons
not properly provided with subsistence
Nc way of exercising any federal au-
thority in the premises has yet been
discovered, and it is altogether I'M
likely that, in the absence of action on
the part of the states whence the YES
sells sail, any restraint whatever can
be exercised.

HALF A BILLION.
Excess Amount Which the Farmers
Will Earn This Year.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Assistant
Secretary Brigham, of the agricultural
department, today expressed the opin-
ion that the American farmers this year
would receive in the aggregate from
400,000,000 to $500, zoo, 900 in excess of
the amount received last year for their
wheat. This" he said, means much to
the farmers. They have learned in the
season of hard times through which
they have passed to economic where
they could, and to be careful in buying
They will use the money they receive
from their crops to pay debts, cancel
ments of the farm and farm buildings
This seems like vast sum-
Col. Brigham also explained that the
increased price of farm products would
benefit the laboring element 1.-The
price of labor" he said did not de-
cline with the price of farm products,
and for some time the farmer was
forced to pay as much for the service
of those who did this work as ever
while his receipts were cut in two. In
asmuch as wages did not decline, [ see
no reason why they should be expected
to rise to correspond with the advance
of farm products which are now bring
ing only fair prices. Still the laboring
men will be benefited by this advance
in prices. The farmer will discharge
his Indebtedness and make improve
mentS which will require labor He
will purchase more of the products of
labor, putting a vast amount of money
in circulation and this will create a
demand for labor in all lines, and men
who have been without employment or
only partially employed will work full
time at fair wages

KILLED BY A FARMER.
Young minneapolis Boy Shot
Through the Heart.

Ted Olin, of Minneapolis, lad nine
teen years old, well known to the po-
lice, was shot through the heart at
Maryville, n. D., yesterday by a farm
er in whose potato field he was caught.
Lars Olin, the father of the young man,
received a telegram from the authori-
ties yesterday notifying him of the
shooting, and announcing that an in
quest would be held today.
Young Olin left Minneapolis about
three weeks ago for the harvest fields
of the Dakotas. His father, who now
resides at the Grand hotel, Washing
ton and Twelfth avenue south, won
dered what had become of him, as he
did not hear from him. Thursday he
received word from Mayville that a
man answering to the description Of his
son had been killed, and he at once
telegraphed for confirmation of the
story. The telegram in reply swept
aside all doubts.
It seems that Olin was in the potato
field when surprised by the owner, who
shot two shots in order to scare him
out. The lad did not move, but seemed
to defy the warning of the farmer. A
third shot was fired and it entered the
breast of Olin, penetrating the heart.
He fell to the ground and died instant

the body taken to the county morgue,
where an inquest will be held. 1t is

like the marine torpedo, the most per-
feet destroying projectile now known
to naval engineers, mirex, in a COM
paratively small brass casing, can be
thrown from a cannon from any dis
lance desired, under twenty miles,
and, dropping into the water at the
side of man Of war, will sink to
stated depth and explode with annihi-
lating results. No wire has to be con-

mirex in its perfect state is the result

from Managua that officials of the
Greater Republic of Central America
and an agent of the Nicaragua Canal
company have left simultaneously for
Washington is regarded here as indi-
eating that definite results may be eX-
pected on several pending diplomatic
questions. Thus far the interests CT
the greater republic and of the canal
company have been somewhat in con-
fiict, and it was due to Minister Rod
rIgueZ's protest that the Nicaragua
canal bill was abandoned in the SEN
ate. This in turn raised question as
to the status of Minister Rodriguez,
congress not having recognized the
greater republic, including Nicaragua,
Salvador and Honduras. The appoint
ment of Capt. Merry as United States
minister to three of the Central Ameri-
can governments and the objection
to him by the authorities of the greater
republic, has further complicated the
situation. In the meantime Capt Mer-
ry has suspended his departure. The
arrival of Minister Rodriguez doubtless
will settle the attitude of the greater
republic toward Capt Merry as we'll

CHICAGO, Aug. 27-The efforts of
the attorneys in the trial of Adolph l..
Luetgert, alleged wife murderer, to
complete the jury panel today, were
barren of results. In fact. there was
no real progress made in the case. One
juror was discharged and another Sc

adjourned in the afternoon, the num-
Der of jurors sworn to try the case was
the same that it was Thursday-name-

of securing a jury has become more

case and forming opinions concerning
the guilt or innocence of the sausage
maker. When court adjourned for the
day, but one man remained in the jury
box who is likely to be a member of
the final four who will fill the panel.
He is S. S. Barber a clerk who lives at

terms than those of the present con-
tract, and on this ground the members
were unwilling to vote for resolution
offered by Aid. Drew favoring the re-

BANK OF MINNEAPOLIS CLOSES.
Not Failure, as There Are Funds
to Pay All DepositOrs.

The closing of the Bank of Minneap-
oils yesterday at about II o'clock caus-
ed little or no comment in financial or
other circles, as it was quite we'll I'M
derstood that such action might be
taken, and that there was no danger
of depositors losing anything. Mr.
Kirby, the president, closed the bank
himself, and while the business will
have to be settled up through the me-
dunn of the courts, the trouble is
caused more by a disagreement with
the Minneapolis clearing house than
anything else The bank is said to be
in better condition than for years, and
Mr.. Kirby guarantees that every de-
positor will be paid in full, and that the
stockholders will receive at least 90
per cent, and probably rs per cent of
their investment.
The immediate cause of the failure
was Mr.. Kirbys presentation of SIT, 900
worth of demand certificates at the
bank this morning. The certificates
were not paid, and Mr.. Kirby simply
said: CLOSE the bank
According to a statement made by
Mr.. Kirby, the trouble with the clear
ing house is over their demand that the
real estate owned by the bank be
charged off as of no value and cash
substituted. This the bank was willing
to do if reasonable time was given.
The Bank of Minneapolis was incor-
porated in 1888. It's capital stock was
100000 and surplus $4,000. The Of
ficers are R. D. Kirby, Chicago, presi-
dent; w. B. Augir, vice president and
cashier; William Canaday, assistant
cashier. The last statement of the
bank showed it to be in a thoroughly
solvent condition.
