AN engine, passenger car and baggage
trailer on the Mount Washington Railway
were blown own the mountain last
Wednesday during a terrific gale. The
train was carried down the side of the
mountain and destroyed. No one was in
jured as the train was empty. The accident
would not ave occurred If the engineer and
fireman had been at their posts. The loss
is heavy.
THE Turkish Minister at Constantinople
informed the ambassadors last Friday that
the Sultan had agreed to the principal de.
mands OF the Powers and was prepared to
accept their views OF the peace conditions.
AS the grand vizer is known to oppose the
terms OF the Powers and has not yet re-
signed, 1t is believed that q further hitch
will be discovered, although it is reported
that the Sultan's sudden decision is due to
the receipt OF another preemptory telegram
from the Gar.
A DISPATCH received last Saturday at
London from Baku, an important seaport of
Russian Caucasia, on the west shore of the
Caspian sea, which is the seat of large Pc
troleum industries, says that fire broke out
there that morning, attacking the great
naptha springs known as the Teherny Coro-
dok. 1t spread rapidly, destroying five re-
%fneries and a large wharf. All work at the
adjacent reineries is suspended. Several
persons were burned to death and many
seriously injured. About 1000, 900 pounds
OF kerosene were consumed.
AN associated dispatch sent out from OF
tawa, Ont, says that the reports from the
Yukon country Of the enormou richness Of
the placer gold deposits in the Klondike
districts LAY moved the Canadian govern
ment to consider what steps should be
taken to protect the interests Of Canada.
Whatever dispute there may be as to the
exact boundary line between Canada and
Alaska, there is no question at all about
the Klondike gold fields being altogether
and clearly in Canada. This being the case
the question arises whether Americans and
other foreigners should be allowed to come
in there and take ava millions of dollars
without leaving anything in the country or
contributing anything to the public evenue.
In many OF the states non but a citizen OF
the United States can hold a mining license,
but there the Canadian government issues
licenses to anybody on payment of a paltry
fee. Whether under the present regime Of
relation and reprisal mining licenses should
which may be considered.

sci was begun as soon as she arrived In
port last Thursday, with the intermission
of Sunday when the religious scruples of
the Canadian seamen who are employed
were respected, and operations ceased until
shortly before the vessel sailed, when the
necessary equipment was completed. The
object Of the voyage is to bring about an es-
Enlistment of a settlement at the most
northern point Of Greenland which shall be
used as a base of supplies for an expedition
that will go in search of the North Pole IN

a party of Esquimaux will be located at the
new settlement and will, during the next
year, be engaged in making preparations
for Lieutenant Peary's expedition.

Seattle, Wash, says that it seems impossi.

ETHE stories Of the fabulous richness of
the new Klondike mines near the upper
Union river in Alaska were proved true
when forty miners arrived at San Francisco
last week from that camp, with gold
amounting to over $500 900. They came in
on the steamer Excelsior" which also
brought $3.50, 900 in gold dust for the Alaska
Commercial Company. This mass OF yell
low dust, which ranged in size from a hazel
nut to fine bird shot and kernels Of sand
was poured out on the counter at Selby's

RULES Oh PINK 04E0
LAW REQUIRING THE PRETTY

SONABLE RESTRICTION.
DAIRY COMMISSION ELATED
AT THE RESULT OF A LONG-PEND-
ING PROSECUTION OF THE
ARMOURS.
BUT BEFORE CONFIsCATION
OF the Mimic Dairy Product There
Must Be a Conviction for Viola
ton of the Law.

Officials of the state dairy and food
commission are elated at the decision
of the Judge Lochren in the so-called
pink law decision, which involves the
validity of the 1890 law, requiring oleo-
margarine to be colored pink.
The decision, copies of which were
served on the attorney general and
dairy commissioner yesterday, susta1ns
the law.
In 1895 the employees of the dairy and
food commissioner seized quantity Of
butterine, which has been shipped into
the state of Minnesota, and which was
then believed to have been offered for
sale in violation of the laws of the state.
The Armour Packing company at once
replevined the property in an action
brought for that purpose in the United
States circuit court for the district of
Minnesota. 1t was admitted at the trlal
was manufactured by the Armour
Packing company in Kansas City, and
shipped to Duluth by the way of the
state of Wisconsin, and was offered for
sale at Duluth in the original packages,
which packages were marked, stamped
and in every way distinguished as re-
quired by the laws of the United States
and of this state, except that the but
terine itself was not of a bright pink
color but was of a yellow color, and,
In fact, In imitation of the best dairy
butter, so close in appearance and taste
that few of any persons could d1stln-
guish it from that article.
The seizure was under chapter IL.
General Laws of Minnesota for 1890,
which forbids, under special penalties,
the sale, exposure for sale, or having in
possession with intent to sell, any atti-
Gle in imitation of butter not wholly
made of milk or cream. and of any
other color than bright pink, and pro-
vides that the dairy and food commits
sioner may seize such article, and upon
the order Of the court having jurisdic-
ton under the act, sell the same for
any purpose other than for food.
The court sustains the Minnesota
statute in all respects, which is a clear
victory for the state, but the court,
while so sustaining the laws, holds that
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-12-22

seizure Of oleomargarine under it must
be made pursuant to some action or
prosecution instituted by the state
against the party offering or exposing
the commodity for sale. The court,
speaking of the statute, say:
ut does not provide for nor seems
to contemplate the seizure Of the article
disconnected with any prosecution for
the penalty, and provides no other way
Of bringing the party in interest into
court in the conf1scation proceedings.
Merely having the article in possession
is not prohibited, but only the selling OF
1t or having it in possession with the in
tent to SELL The bare possession belng
only prima facie evidence Of the intent.
1t follows that the article can never
be conf1scated except when found In
the hands of some one who is liable to
the penalty and the matter OF connsca-
ton is therefore properly made incident
to the result Of the trial and one OF the
consequences Of conviction. Ihere
must be a conviction for violation OF
the statute before conf1scatton can pc
adjudged or ordered; and no proceed
ing purely in rem is contemplated.

street railway company for new trial is
granted.
The syllabus of the decision is as follows
Joseph Terrier, respondent, VS.. st. Paul City
Railway Company, appellant.
Whether a pedestrian is guilty of contribu-
tory negligence in failing to look and listen
before attempting to cross the track of
street railway is, as a general rule, ques-
ton of fact for the jury, to be determined
from all the circumstances of the particular
case, but the circumstances may be such and
the evidence as to those circumstances SO
conclusive that the court should say as a
question of law that he was guilty of con-
tributory negligence in failing to look and
listen. Held this is such a case; held fur
Their, under the circumstances, 1t was not
sufficient that he looked and listened at a
point where he was not likely to see the
approaching car, which point some dis
lance from where he attempted to cross
the track. Order reversed. -Canty, ].

lows:
