hundred thousand dollars for preach

a reply by cable. What was the agents

procured a Bible he opened it and read
these lines: But Peter said unto him
Thy money perish with thee, because
thou hast thought that the gift of God
may be purchased with money" This
was the last effort made to induce
Spurgeon to do what so many eminent
clergymen, too, of unquestioned piety
have done, namely, make a show Of
himself for American gold. The great

There is much flippant talk in Eng
land about conquering the Beers; but
the Boer is not a man to be despised.
as English readers are told in a recent
article. The Boer is "a man with
whom the predikant (parson) is always
an honored guest; who loves, and
thinks much of the opinion of his wife;
who is boundlessly hospitable, and who
can shoot straight" The Beers, in
their faith and in their shooting, bring
to mind Cromwell's men, as good SOL
diers as the world ever saw. Fighting
the Beers in London club talk, and
fighting them within rifle range, are
vastly different affairs, as Raider Jane
son can testify.

TO ARREST CLOUGH
THE HENNEPIN BENCH TO ISSUE A
WRIT FOR THE GOVERNOR.
Gov. Clough's Refusal to Appear Be-
fore the Hennepin Grand Jury
With Documents From His Office
Is to Be Made a Test Case-Asree-
ment Made Whereby the Matter
VIII Go Before the Sunreme
g. Court.

Minneapolis, June 8. - The hearing
Of the arguments before the full bench
Of the Fourth judicial district was an
exceedingly important matter so i'm
portant that the arguments were made
in executive or star chamber session.
Attorney General Childs was on hand
with his reasons why Gov. Clough
should not be obliged to answer the
subpoena served upon him by the
Hennepin county grand jury.
Judge Smith is strongly of the "opin-
ion that the governor ought to report
to the grand jury when required to do
so, and especially to present to that
body whatever documents he NAV
have which would assist them in their
Investigations Judge Elliott is be-
lieved to be Of the same opinion.
The bench, however, is not a unit.
some of the bench believing that the
governor, as chief executive of the
state, is exempt from any process and
canlot be compelled to appear and
disclose before the grand jury as to
the documents desired by that body.
This position they believe to be upheld
by number Of similar cases and to
be sustained by the Minnesota State
laws. After about fifteen minutes Of
CACCulA'C SCoSlOA Tic siege WAS IulSCu
and the attorneys who had come down
to the court house to hear the argu-
ments with the newspaper men, were
informed that there had been no argyll
ments.
Judge Smith proposes, as the easiest
and most satisfactory way of settling
the whole business, that an attach
ment for the governor be issued and
given to an officer to serve The at
tachment should be taken to st. Paul
and the governor be placed under
nominal arrest Since the governor
has determined that the supreme court
should pass upon the question, the at
torney general was then, if the gov.
ernor was still of the same mind, to
refuse to obey the summons, to secure
a writ of habeas corpus, which should
be presented to the supreme court
and the argument heard by the su,
premc bench at that time. This plan
was ,.cquiesced in by the attorney gen
eral and the meeting broken up.
The writ of attachment was to be
signed by Judge Simpson, who had
charge of The grand jury.
