The Green Case.

Minneapolis Journal: What promises
to be a hot fight was taken up before
Judge johnson in chambers this morn
ing, when j. S. Green of Mandan, N. D..
appears to answer charge of contempt.
The contempt proceedings grow out of
a certain receivership in North Dakota.
in which r. A. Eaton, an attorney of
this city and formerly of North Dakota,
was interested. Alexander McCune.
the receiver, claimed that Mr.. Green
had not turned over certain property
belonging to the receivership. and
instituted contempt proceedings against
MI. Green for failing to comply with the
order of the court. After a series of
delays it was arranged that the con.
tempt proceedings should be heard last
Saturday.
Mr.. Green was in Chicago, but arrived
in st. Paul Saturday morning. After
some delay, he reached Minneapolis
after court adjourned Saturday noon.
Through his attorney, George P. Elan
merry, word was sent to Mr.. Mcclure to
come in and make arrangements for a
hearing at a future date. Mr.. Green
claims that instead of doing this, Mr..
McCune conferred with r. A. Eaton and
the two secured a bench warrant for his
arrest for again failing to comply with
an order of the court in not appearing
Saturday morning. He was arrested
Sunday afternoon and furnished q
certified check for 5000 for his an
pearance to-day.
The hearing was begun this morning.
Mr.. Green testified that he had been
ready to turn over the property at any
time, though he had sold certain notes
constituting a part of it. However. he
was willing to turn over the proceeds.
and believed he had sold the notes q,
the best advantage possible.
Mr.. McCune and his attorney. r. A
Eaton, are disposed to question this,

SENATOR WoLCoTT in a speech to the
senate on the matter of international
bimetallism stated that there was still a
splendid possibility of International
b~imetallism. He said the nations visited
were favorable, and that a little general
concession would bring about the
desired result. The administration has
not by any means abandoned the at
tempt at international agreement, not
withstanding the proposals of Secretary
Gage and some of the perpetual gold
standard advocates.

The Grand Forks Plaindealer states

The Grand Forks Plaindealer states
that Editor Winship has not yet given
up hope of securing the appointment as
postmaster at Grand Forks. 1t is indeed
h~eartrending to think that the %sanctifi-
ed Winship would accept a crumb from
the administration which he has SO
often and 20 heartily revilel. We
thought he was more like Caesar, to
push away the offered crown, although
the crown has not been offered. Or,
perhaps, it is that he would sooner be
right than be postmaster, the indica-
tions being that he will never be either.

The Fargo Argus calls attention to
the rot emanating from Washington
and oozing out through the columns of
the Minneapolis Times-with the view
to creating republican dissension in the
state-and should not overlook the fact
that Congressman johnson furnishes
much of the information accredited to
"prominent republicans''-to boom his
martyrdom campaign for the senate.

MIR. W1NsH1p's tears over the SUCCESS
of Senator Hanna in Ohio are not quite
as large or profuse as those he shed
when Senator Hansbrough was re-elect-
ed a year ago, but he continues to in
sist that in the latter case the will of
the people was "%thwarted." The two
events furnish an interesting parallel.
In Ohio Senator Hanna was the only
republican candidate before the people,
and every voter knew it. This was pre-
cisely the situation in North Dakota in
1896. Senator Hansbrough was a can
didate to succeed himself, the only re-
publican candidate, and the people
knew it when they went to the polls.
The result in the state was the election
Of a legislature having an overwhelming
republican majority, and Senator Hans
brough was chosen unanimously. Win
ship will continue to say that the will
of the people was "thwarted," but he
has not and cannot offer anything but
mere assertion to fortify his position.
He will also continue to kick against
the splendid party organization which
managed the equally splendid campaign,
and thus lend comfort and encourage
ment to the enemy. 1t is Winship's
way, because he wants something him
self-anything, "from petit juror up"
Unfortunately for Winship, if the posi-.
ton of petit juror were an elective one
and he was a candidate, the voters in
his own precinct would turn him down.

JAMESTOWN is having it's first murde:

JAMESTOWN is having It's first murder
trial, and there is a corresponding in
terest in the case of the man Villers.
The court room is crowded during the
trial, and the evidence in the case is
highly interesting. Although there is
no direct evidence against Villers, the
state appears to be leaving no stones
unturned to support its case, which is
stronger than was thought at first.

English Electrical Engineer Makes a
Sensational Statement.
HIS NAME FORWARDED HERE
Purchase of BraziPs Warships by
Spain is Confirmed.
BUYS THE O'HIGGINS ALSO

LONDON, March 5.-According to the
statement of a man whose cards describe
him being electrical engineer. whose
rame cannot be disclosed, but has been
forwarded to Washington, he sold to Span
ish officers in London, several years ago. a
large number of mines, eight ten OF
which were placed In Havana harbor. He
says they were made in a special way and
had a specially and peculiarly connected
cable, which. he contends, he can positively
identify, IL the smallest piece is produced
Soma of the mines, the man continued,
were fixed; they could be fired from a fort.
and two of them had bulbs arranged SO
that they would explode with vessel COM
ing in contact with them. But the alleged
electrical engineer adds that he does not
believe the bulbs would be used in water
as shallow as that of Havana harbor.
Exhibited Plans of the Mines.
He exhibited the plans of one of these
mines, which, he pointed out, was thu most
likely to produce the effect described as
causing the wreck of the Maine. 1t was
numbered -" and was constructed to con-
tain 500 pounds of guncotton.
This is the story told by the man who
gives one the impression that he has been
sergeant of engineers or has held some
similar position. He was apparently thor
oughly posted upon electrical matters and
submarine mines.
The man who made the foregoing state
ments Is an Erglishman, and he says he is
willing to go to the United States as a wit
ness.
