among its different districts for the payment
on the Rock Island college debt which for
the Minnesota conference, amounts to SO, 800.

lions were accepted: From the Chicago dist
riot, that Cumberland, Shell Lake and Rice
Lake congregations be transferred to the Lake
Superior district; from the Alexandria dist
riot, that Cakes and White Stone Hill, N. D..

riot; that new district be formed Of congre-
cations from Aitkin county, Brainerd Little

called the Mississippi district

POLICE IN ERROR.
New York Authorities Must Release
the Turkish Consul

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Accordng to the
officials of the state department, the New
York police authorities who arrested and the
magistrate who committed Joseph Iasigi, the
Turkish consul at Boston, last Saturday night,
have made grave mistake and must undo
their acts, which were unlawful. The Tur-
kish minister here, Mustapha Bey has lodged
with the state department protest against
the proceedings, and willis the department is
still looking up authorities and studying pre-
cedents 1t has already been practically con-
cluded that the arrest was illegal. The con-
stitution and laws provide expressly that a
foreign consul can be tried only under federal
processes and before a federal court. He is
not exempt from prosecution like a diplo-
matte officer, but he has this privilege, and so
far as the information in the hands of the
department shows this has been denied him.
