MRS. ROBER DEAD.
Was Afflicted With What the Doc
tors Called HydrophObia.


Mrs. Louis Rober wife Of Lieut. Rober, of
the Minneapolis fire department, died at 6
o'clock yesterday morning at her home, 2704
Hamline avenue. About two months ago
Mrs. Rober was bitten by strange animal
that found it's way into her chicken coop.
The animal was not dog in all probability,
and the doctors have ventured the opinion
that it was a mink. About two weeks ago
or a little less, Mrs. Rober was taken vio-
lently Ill, and three physicians who attend
ed her stated that she showed symptoms of
having hydrophobia. At times she would
rally and there would be hopes Of her re-
covery, but for the last few days she has been
sinking rapidly and the end was momentarily
expected. 1t has been claimed by some that
Mrs. Rober did not have hydrophobia, and
that her trouble was more a case Of spinal
meningitis. From the fact that she could
not drink water and had violent spasms, etc,
her physicians insisted that she was suffering
from the effects of the bite from the strange
animal, and predicted that she could not
live more than a few days. Mrs. Rober has
been confident all the time that she would
recover.
The funeral of Mrs. Rober will take place
at 1 o'clock this afternoon from the family
residence. A detail of members Of the fire
department will attend in body.

MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL.
Durham Matter to Come Up on Sat
uFday.


urday.
County Attorney Peterson and his assistants
are making extraordinary efforts to have
things in readiness for a hearing on Dur
MANS motion for new trial on Saturday,
and 1t is barely possible that they will be
successful. Several Of the affidavits which
are to be used in the case are now ready and
are somewhat interesting in their nature
Juror Armatage, whose citizenship has been
questioned, has refused to sign a statement
that he has not taken out his second papers,
and that line of the defense appears exceed
ingly weak. Mr.. Armatage also absolutely
denies having had any prejudice in the case
and declares just to the opposite. The state
will submit affidavits upon that point from
]. T. Wyman, E. w. Decker and John T.
Baxter in answer to the affidavit Of Merritt
c. French, Of Superior, in relation to re-
mark attributed to Armatage. 1t is said that
eleven of the jurors will file affidavits which
will puncture the tale of the secret staircase
to the third floor. The state will also try
to show that certain of the atlantis for the
defense were not persons to whose words
much consideration is due, and the allega-
ton that the sentence is excessive will be met
by showing that the law permits sentence
of ten years for the offense for which Dur
nam was convicted.

SHERMAN TO HAY.

Secretary Sherman has addressed 4
note GO Ambassador Hay on the vexed
question of the seals. In it the secre-
tary points out that England has been
anything bur jealous in carrying out
the provisions Of the Bering Sea
awards While this is SO, England
viii probably retort that this country
has not been jealous in complying with
all the provisions of the Paris award.
That award and its provisions have
never been accepted by either govern
ment with any excess of grace. and it
really did little or nothing TO save the
seals from destruction.
What Secretary Sherman says about
Professor Thompsoa's report and the
manner in which England has treated
it is of much Importance and it does
not show that country in a favorable
light. Il looks as though she had been
trying TO juggle With it. and wildly
recalls the fact that in ghe first blue
book on the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute important historical documents
were treated in very dishonest man
ner, important sections being omitted,
but there being no asterisk to show the
omission. The defect" was supplied in
a supplement. Who knows but that
something of the kind may happen in
the case of Professor Thompson's re-
port?
This seal question is a most vexatious
one and if il can be settled SO that
the seals shall not be exterminated
(they are in process of rapid extermi-
nation now, and so that all rights
shall be preserved and international
Irritation over it allayed, it would be
a good thing. Al present it looks as
though the seals would be extermi-
mated while negotiations looking so
their preservation are pending.

BOURKE COCHRAN TALKS ABOUT

European country that has established
its finances on a gold basis VIII
! abondon that basis any more than il
will abandon the telegraph or any
other device of civilization. But what
he says on this topic is of less interest
than what he says about the reopening
Of the Indian minis and why they
should be reopened. What he says of
silver in India is equally applicable to
the question in this country. This is
what he says:
have no doubt the Indian minis
must be reOpened some time or other.

If those persons and papers that have
regarded the Trans-Mississlppi con-
gress as sectional in the narrow sense
Of the word would but give close heed
TO some of the leading topics to be dis
cussed al the present meeting of the
congress, they would not fail to see
that the congress is anything but sec
tional, that on the contrary it is really
catholic
Is there anything narrow and sec
tional in the discussion Of the question
of the annexation of Hawaii? That is
a question which interests every citizen
and section of the Union, no matter
what view may be taken of it.
Is there anything particularly sec
tional in discussion of the Nicaragua
canal? rs construction and control
are matters. of most vital concern to
the whole country.
Is there anything sectional or selfish

the recognition of Cuban independence,
and urging such recognition upon con-
gress?
These are among the leading topics
to be considered by the Trans Aiissis-
sippi congress. If the congress were to
be criticised in this regard it should
rather be that these topics are not
strictly germane TO the objects of the
congress; in fact it might be said that
this is a case where cen its failings
lean to virtues side"
The Trans Mississippi congress has
no desire or intention to create any
sectional prejudice or jealousy, and
would be among the very first to dis
and condemn any and
everything that looked that way. The
objeoe of these congresses is to so de-
veloD and further the interests that

greatest prosperity may result there
from. And that which produces the
greatest prosperity in one part of the

man law, why would not the reopening
of the minis of the. United States re-
establish the conditions that existed
prior to the decentralization of silver in
1873?
DIR. Cochran says that it is, in the
case of the East Indians, criminal to
compel debtors to discharge in gold
obligations which they had contracted
in silver. That has always been the
contention of the free silver men in
this country, and more especially with
regard to the payment of the govern
ment debt. That debt was contracted
to be paid in coin. and coin at that
time meant both gold and silver. The
simple fact that the government debt
was declared, through the practice of
the treasury department, payable in
gold was a discrimination against sill
Yer that had no warrant in law or
morals. The argument that is TO be
drawn from the facts in the case of
India can also be drawn from the facts
in the case of the United States.
