sHUFELDT ON THE STAND.
He Testifies Concerning the Packing
House Troubles.

House Troubles.
The trial of the suit of the Minnesota
Packing and Provision company, limited, of
ing and Provision company, of Minnesota
began yesterday before Judge Brill without
jury. 1t will probably consume the great
er part of two weeks.
The matter made it's first appearance in
the district court last spring, when the Eng
lish company through its attorneys, Davis.
kellogg & Severance asked the court to
Dust Philip Sh1feldt and other managers of
the concern and to appoint receiver The
application OF the plaintiff was based on
vouminous af1davits charging Mr.. Shufeldt
and his associates with mismanagement of
the plaintiffs company for the purpose of
practically wrecking it in the interest of
Gated in the vicinity of the Minnesota Trans
fer. The Plaintiff made the specific charge
tSat Mr.. Shufeldt and his associates were
selling the products of the packing and
provision company owned by them to the
Minnesota Packing and Provision company
which they were managing for the English
interests at advanced prices.
As result of the hearing before Judge
Brill, Mr.. Shufeldt and his associates were
temporarily removed and William R. Mer-
riam was appointed as receiver. The case
is now being tried on its merits
1t was also charged that they were
reptitiously purloinng the machinery of the
plaintiff for use in their own concern.
The trial began yesterday forenoon with
Philip Shufeldt on the stand He was still
under examination when court adjourned, at
p.
All the books of account were brought into
court and the testimony was founded upon
statements therein contained concerning the
price of meats and other articles in which
both companies dealt.

ONE JUROR ILL.
The Luetgert Case Adjourned Until
Wednesday Morning.

CHICAGO Sept. 13.-PufIing at cigar
and smiling in manner which betokened
contentment, Adolph L. Luetgert this morn
ing appeared before Judge Tuthill to begin
the fourth week of his trial for alleged wife
murder. The court proceedings began with
the cross-examination of Prof. George Bailey,
which continued until 1870 o'clock The
professor startled Attorney Vincent by the
assertion that he had discovered six sesa-
mold bones in a single hand while a student
in Paris. Attorney Vincent declared that
surgical history contained reference to
more than two sesamoids being found upon
a hand or foot. Prof. Bailey replied he
knew that fact, and had kept mis- discovery
the subject. The witness refused to make
statement as to the probable original loca-
ton of sesamoid bones handed him until he
had an opportunity to examine them. lie
was granted until tomorrow morning
At 1850 o'clock Juror John E.. Fowler was
jeurned until l o'clock p. m. Juror Fowler
is suffering from malaria and a fever. Dr.
Mcnamara, who examined juror Fowler,
stated the latter was suffering from chills
and fever. The physician believed he could
break the fever in a couple of days without
Juror Fowler being withdrawn from active
duty If Juror Fowler becomes so i'll that
he must retire from the jury it would mean
a retrial OF the entire case.
Juror Fowler is III at the LIE Grande hotel
he will not be able to appear in court until
Wednesday morning. AS a result Judge
Tuthill adjourned court until $50 o'clock
Wednesday.
A sensation was created this morning in
the court room by the rumor that Drs. ALL
Tense, were heard to remark. while exam
lining the bones, that they were human.
The medical men deny this however, and
say they never made the remark

employers confirmed their suspicious.
They felt that the increase in the tax
was for their benefit. They had rea-
son to so believe, for that was the
ground on which the increase was de-
manded and obtained. What is pro-
lection for if it does not protect, and
what is protection that does not in
crease wages? So they reasoned, and
no protectionist can assail their logic
Their reasonable demand refused, what
recourse was left them but a strike?
And what protectionist can deny the
justice of their action without deny
ing himself? The millions of dollars
lost by labor and operators; the in
cidence of the agitation on other indus
tries the startling advance of govern
ment by injunction; the increase In
that discomfort that finds expression
i'll the revolutionary speech of Debs,
and finally the blood shed at HaZleton,
all find their cause in that prolific
fountain of evil, that Pandora's box

moil of the contest

MIR. uayYA,s ConsIDEeATIos

| Mr. Hanna, maker of presidents and
generalissimo of campaigns, has been
known as a man of action, a hun Gn
| dynamo, whether in business or in poll
| tics. AS such he has given US. in prac-
| teal results, his measurement. We ad-
nit that he sizes UP well, ii means are
| to be ohscUred in the glare OF affair
n2ent We might think that it detract-
| ed somewhat from his merits, were the
moralities of life or even OF politics TAX
en- into account. that he mortgaged his
candidate to such fellow as Good
/ now to get the Minnesota delegation,
| to fellows like Wimberly and Demas to
get the Louisiana delegation away from
/ Reed, or that he put up a cold cash
equivalent in other quarters where
promises of office were held at a dis
count as being mighty uncertain Of full
| fillment But it is not in that light we
are now gazing upon this Napoleon of
politics and business. He does not SO
regard himself and cannot understand
why any one else should. If in his busi-
ness he wants anything, he buys it at
the best price he can get. Naturally
he carries into politics the same meth
| DDS and regards them as rightful there
as in the iron and steel business. And
| in each he has scored a phenomenal
success.
Now, however, this man of business,
| being a candidate for election 10 the
seat in the senate he now holds by ap-
, pointment, finds that q strange condi-
/ ton confronts him. There yet remain
| fragments Of the old custom that one
who would play the part of statesman
! must discuss public questions from the
/ stump to audiences Of the electorate.
| Fer a man who believes that it is only
money that talks it is embarrassing to
meet condition where that handy
! commodity is silent and the man must
| talk. Men of action are very rarely
men of talk. There are exceptions, but
this is the rule, and Mr.. Hanna is not
an exception. So Mr.. Hanna gets upon
! the stump and makes "a speech. Elmer
son somewhere says. in substance, that
| one gives the world his measurement
when he opens his mouth to speak Mr.
Hanna opened his mouth and spoke
and we have his measurement in that
direction. Clearly his is no silver
tongue Long association with the bas-
er metals in his business would make
an iron or steel tongue more appro-
pirate smile. His colleague, Foraker,
also spoke from the same stump, and
his is a silver tongue. Limited to a
! choice between these two we confess
we prefer the iron tongue. 1t may not
say as much nor say it as glibly, but
| it carries more weight.
But the insight Mr.. Hanna gave the
public in thus opening his mouth into
the interior Hanna reveals a phase Of
character that was unsupported Moth
| ing heretofore known of him would
! justify a suspicion even that he was

a very sensitive man, regardful of the
sensibilities of others. Something Of the
nature of the things men work with
enters into them; the butcher who
slaughters becomes cruel; the black
smith becomes forcefully direct; the
soap maker becomes saponaceous in
his manners, and an oiliness is dis
cernible in the ways of those who pro-
duce oils. So one might expect in Mr..
Hanna a hardness that would ignore
the softer side of human nature and
traanple rudely on what it regards as
the amenities ofintercourse. 1t is with
surprised pleasure, therefore, that We
have him assuring the audience of six
or seven Thousand persons who came
to see and Hear that, referring to some
charge made against him, IF it was
not for the1dargel crowd heresI would
like to use apophlar term and say that
it is lie." ICaptious persons will ask
how much smaller crowd must be
before Mr.. Hanna would indulge him
self in the use of that popular term"
and an unfriendly critic might point
out that, after all, the largeness Of the
crowd did not deter him from using it.
But the discerning will perceive the in
nate sensitiveness of the man in con-
sulting at all that refinement of every
large crowd which would be shocked
by the rude designation of any charge
as being lie. There is tender SIDE
to Marcus Aurelius or Antonius that
we never suspected, and which it re-
Joices us to discover.

COLORADO BANK CASE.
Decision Reversed in the Court of
Appeals.

In the United States circuit court of ap-
peals yesterday an opinion was announced
in the celebrated case of Charles H. Dow,
plaintiffs in error. against the United States
district court of the United States for the
Judgment and sentence of the trial court and
the United States for the district of Colorado.
The case was one of great interest in the
state of Colorado. In the year 1898 Dow was
bank of Denver, and McClurken was receiv-
Hernia Treatment company. All three were
mercial bank of Denver and were sentenced
to the pen!tentary. Pending an appeal. Dow
and McClurken gave bail. but Miller could
net furnish bonds. and has been in the peni-
Tertiary. When the bank closed in 1893. Mil
Ter and his company owed the bank SIPS, goo,
the capital stock being $3.50, 600. Miller had
in two years drawn from the bank SIPS 900 in
excess of al payments.
Judge Shiras, who wrote the opinion says:
eve are cemrelied to sustain the objections
taken to the several parts Of the charge
wherein it stated that the reception and
creditng of tie check on Milier's account
constituted a violation. The trial judge,
it appears from the record. gave sweeping
charge to the jury that if check was drawn
and there were no funds the drawer was
guilty of fraud, and if the check was cred
tied with the knowledge that there were no
funds the persons so crediting it were ac-
completes IN the fraud"

HEAVILYtATTACKED.
Fifty Thousand eAfridis Concentrat-
ed Near Khan-Ki Valley.


sIMLA, India. Sept. 1s.-Fort Lock
hardt and Fta Gulistan are still heavily
attacked The relieving force which
has been sent forward, consists of four
guns and fivel sauadrons. The startling
news comes from tFrot Lockhardt that
the combined bodies of the Afridis and
Orakzais number AZ 900 men. They are
now all collected hear Khan-Ki valley
and will advance on the Notifications
at SANTANA for aneattack tonight.
The insurgents this morning captured
the Sarhargartf police post. The post
was attacked by 1000 Orakzais. A
gallant defence was made by the garr1-
son. who for six and half hours sus-
tanned the furious assaults. In the
third assault the Orakzais forced the
door. The garrison left the walls to
expel the invaders and the enemy was
thus able to escalade the fort with
the ladder. One Sikh defended the
guard room, killing twenty of the foe.
He was finally burnt alive at his post.
The signaller kept up communication
until the fort fell at 4:30. 1t is report
ed that he was the only Sikh who
was spared.

happen and not raise the passions of
the people to white heat. Who, now,
is safe? What man can walk quietly
down one of our streets without taking
the chance of a broken head ride in
the patrol wagon and night at the
central station before the mistake" is
discovered, and the unhappy victim Of
brutality set loose to heal his wounds
and restore his injured self-respect as
best he may, while the bullying agents
of a disgraceful administration go out
in search of new amusement of the
same sort? 1t is a condition of things
that fills every loyal citizen Of st. Paul
with wrath and shame.
Yet this is no new thing. It stirs
more indignation now, because the suf-
ferers are men we'll known in the COM
munity. But it has been the regular
practice for some time past. Men have
been dubbed until they could scarcely
appear in the police court, until their
bleeding wounds were at once a scan
dial and an appeal for justice, and still
the assault upon peace and order goes
on. If there are 'landladies to be pro-
tected," if there is a scheme of inter-
est to somebody to be advanced by
moving disreputable resorts from one
quarter to another, the police are all
activity. These are their real duties,
as now directed. They must have vent
for their exuberant spirits and eXer-
else for their clubs, and this they get
by haling peaceable men before the CEN
trail authorities, disfguring them by
cowardly blows and covering them with
the slime of foul tongues that wag
never so freely as when an arrest is to
be made. 1t is a brutal government, ad-
ministered in the most british spirit,
The men arrested, with violence and
without a warrant, for no offense
whatever, would have been justified by
any court in shooting their assailant
dead upon the spot. Yet, because they
are more law-abding than the agents
of the law, they suffer, and the outrage
goes on.
Since there is no remedy, since the
attitude of the mayor seems to put him
in full sympathy with the clubbing of
innocent people to furnish pastime for
his subordinates, and since he is for
the present beyond the reach of every
thing except the contempt and condem-
nation TO which creatures such as he are
wholly insensible, we urge upon the men
who have been maltreated the duty in
justice to themselves and to this COM
munity, of seeking full legal redress.
They have their remedy, and no court
and no jory will fail to award it. Let
this savagery be punished as it de-
serves. Since the executive, who
ought to act, does not act, let both
criminal and civil proceedings go for
ward, until we ascertain whether this
is, indeed, America, or a community
governed ES brute force and despotism.
An outraged people will take care of
the chief offender at an opportunity
which, thank heaven, is not far dis
tant. Let his subordinates feel the
weight of the law which they have
flOuted and disgraced. 1t is time for
st. Paul, in defense of it's own good
name, to put a stop to the administra-
ton of its government by brutes.

TEE GERM CT THE coal STRIKE


Since July many thousand miners
Of soft coal have been on a
strike for higher wages. The press
has had it's columns daily of the eff
forts of the striking miners to induce
others. reluctant to quit bread win
ming, to join them; of the meetings of
operators consulting on ways and
means to break the strike, to work
their mines or to adjust their differ
ences with the miners; of propositions
Of compromise; of marching miners
and injunctions restraining them; of
conventions of delegate miners, and
finally of the legitimate conclusion III
the Hazleton slaughter. But of the
melting cause of the strike we have
heard little or nothing, although it
ferns at once the cause and the justi-
fication for the strike.
The miners demand was fer re-
storation of their wages to a maxi
mum of So cents ton. The price had
after the German act reduced the tax
on imports of bituminous coal from Is
to 40 cents a ton. The operators rep
resented that the reduction in taxation
forced a reduction in wages; that
wages depended upon taxation, and
When it went down wages must go
i;
up wages WOULD rise. During cam
paigns they assured their workmen
that the cause of the decrease in their
compensation was the result of the
Democratic decrease in protection to
coal ard that their pay would Increase

policy. 1t was the same old argument.
variously changed to apply to
workingmen in other vocations and to
farmers. with which we have become
so familiar.
The election of 1895 followed a cam
paign for this restoration. The returns
from these coal mining states
show how the logic worked. Pennsyl-
wanna, that gave Harrison 516,011 votes,
gave Mckinley 72S,300, as compared
with ASP, 264 for Cleveland and 4SS,22S
for Bryan West Virginia cast 1O4it4
for Mckinley, against S0,295 for Har-
rison, and 81, 227 for Bryan, against S4.-
467 for Cleveland. A comparison made
in the bituminous region of these
states shows that these miners went
to Mckinley strongly relying upon the
promise of increased wages to follow
his election. His election followed.
Congress met to put the restoration
the coal rate was settled between the
two houses. 1t did not need the sig
nature of the president to assure the
orerators on what tariff basis they
might run their mines. The time for
a new wage schedule was approach
ing. There were no indications that
the operators, whose protection had
| been restored, were going to restore
wages. Requests were met with state
nlents that the condition of the coal
business would not warrant it.
But, the miners argued with simple
directness, what is protection for if ii
does not enable the operators to fix
the conditions of the coal business?
They became suspicious that they were
not going to get any part or lot in
the restoration The attitude of their
