and the question as to the power Of the court
to compel them to testify placed before the
supreme court of the state.
The application 70 IUdoe Gibbons was made
on the petition of w. E. Haskell, the presi-
dent of the Minneapolis Times Newspaper
company, who is defendant in criminal
libel charge brought against him in Minneapo-
lis on an indictment procured by the Min
neapolfs Trust company. John Blanchard,
the editor of the Minneapolis Times, is also a
defendant to a similar charge. The libel
cases arise from comments made in the Times
in regard to the transactions of the Mime

on the advice of Attorney Edward C. Ritscher,
the matter was taken before Judge Gibbons.
After considerable argument the court en-

AFTER THE FLESH POTS.
Hungry Politicians Start II Deter
mined Fight on Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Yestel days
clash over the civil service system is
regarded as premature, but 1T shows
how strong the feeling is on the part
of some Republicans in favor of throw
ing down the bars to the horde Of par
t. wire-pullers. That there will be
strong fight over the question is GER
tain. Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, thinks
that if a vote can be secured the law
will be repealed His idea is to abolish
the system and give all the offices to
men who were active for the Republic
can party in the last campaign. The
opinion of close observers, however, is
that if a vote is taken the law will be
sustained.
1t has been claimed that either Joseph Pet
erson, of Nicollet county, OF John G. Nelson,
of Saltwater, viii be appointed collector OF
customs for Minnesota. 1t is now said TO be
absolutely certain that Davis will finally
recommend Peterson, and that Senator Mel
son will consent. The selection of Peterson,
of course, leaves ]. NJ. Diment, OF Owatonna,
out in the cold.
The assistant attorney general for the in
terrier department Mr. Vandeyanter has set
Ian : as the date for argument on the
case involving validity of indemnity selections
Of land under grant to the St Paul, Mime
apols & Manitoba Railroad company. The
question involved is whether the company
filed specifications for losses within the time
required by the department in the Lebarr de-
cision. This time limit is six months. The
case to be argued is that of Lambeck against
the company. The company was given no
tice to specify losses on Dec. T. 1895, and lists
were filed in the local offices some time in
June following. The records show filings
not made within six months and the conten-
ton is that all claims for losses are, there
fore invaidated All decisions up to this
time have been in favor of the company but
attorneys for settlers are trying to have this
overturned A number of settlers have al
ready fled applications for the lands in
volved believing that the secretary will de-
eide against he company.
Senator Nelson has introduced an amend

MINORITY CAUCUS.
4 Meeting to BE Held by the House
Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Dec 8.-The Democrats OF
the house Will caucus soon on party policy.
Representative Richardson. the caucus chair
man, said today that he was consulting with
members as to what day would suit them and
he expected that the meeting would occur
the latter part OF this week or early next
week Considerable difference OF opinion has
arisen among the Democratic members as to
the necessity Of a cCucus and some OF the
Democratic leaders have withheld their names
from the call on the ground that a caucus
at this time could do no good and might
lead to considerable difference and division.
The promoters Of the caucus secured rbou-
fifty signatures which Is sufficient to require
Chairman Richardson to issue a call when
a convenient time is agreed upon. The under
standing is that the purpose OF the caucus
is to determine upon lire of policy as
to Cuba Hawaii and finance. although il
would not be surprising II some question a.

WASHINGTON, Dec. sit is stated by those
in position to know that the reason the
Hawaiian treaty is not pushed in the senate
is because the friends of the measure have
grave doubts as to their ability to secure
the necessary two-thirds vote to pass it. The
impression prevails that it may be necessary
to pass a. Joint resolution and annex the
Islands by legislation. 1t has been found that
a number of senators who were confidently
counted for the treaty are against It, while
others have expressed doubts about the hasty
action.
