RENVILLE COUNTY SEAT.
Another Move in the Fight Due to
Re Made.

REDWOOD FALLS, Aug 22-The com
nissioners of Renville county will hold a
special outing tomorrow to pass upon the
petition Of the people interested in Bird
Island who are asking the commissioners
to call a special election for the purpose of
voting upon the proposition to move the
county seat from Beaver Falls to Bird
Island. The meeting will be one of in
tense interest, as Beaver Falls and Olivia
will be represented by counsel and crowds
of boomers.
The commissioners, or a majority of the
board, is adverse to the Bird Island petit
ton, they being more or less interested in
Olivia and while they may hold that the
Bird Island petition is legal and order an
election called upon the same, they would
rather reject the proposition to give
Olivia a chance. But the moment that
they act either way they will be enioined
or mandamused-that is, If they reject
the Bird Island petition, Bird Island will
attempt to mandamus them; If they ac-
cept the petition and order an election
called Olivia will seek to enjoin them.
and hence the matter will be thrown into
court there to remain probably until the
supreme court passes upon the question.

The milk in the cocoanut concerning
the question of Col. Ames' conduct in the
Philippine wal appears in tair way Of
being accounted for. To the Infamous
censorship adopted by command of Gen.
Otis at Manila are due, in a great meas
ure. the secrecy and ambiguity which have
surrounded the case from the OeginnlaG-
But facts are leaking out. In attend
ance at the funeral of Maj. Arthur N.
Diggles, at Boston, was Corporal w. H.
Salisbury, of Company H, Thirteenth
Minnesota. He accompanied the remains
all the way from Manila, having been
detailed for that service by Maj Bean.
Recently he arrived in Minneapolis and
brought with him a letter which throws
considerable light upon Col. Ames' leav-
ing Manila and gives some history that
has not been made public hitherto. The
letter was from John L. Amory, of Bos-
ton, formerly captain of Company A of
the First regiment NJ. n. G., and was
addressed to E. w. Goddard The letter
contains the following significant SEN
fences:
concerning Fred's being sent home, I
have it direct from an orderly to Gen.
Otis, who overheard the generals re-
marks to Ames when he was ordered be
fore him. Otis asked Ames If he had
given out the information that the men
of the Thirteenth Minnesota were unani-
nous in the desire to be sent home.
Upon Ames replying that he had sent
such q message, Otis told him to consider
himself relieved from his command and
further duty with his regiment. He or
dered him to proceed to San Francisco,
saying. further, that such men We're not
wanted, and that We're it in his power he
would degrade him and drum him out
of the service"
The letter goes on to state that Mr..
AmOry had talked with a huber of men
who were on the firing line with Col
Aues, and they were unanimous in their
statements that, as far as they had knowl-
edge, the colonel never showed the white
feather. One of the men with whom he
talked had heard Gen. Wheaton congrat-
ulate him and his regiment during ac-
lion.
The above letter IS in direct contraven-
ton OF the statements made by the de-
tractors of Ames, who charge that he
was relieved from service on account Of
cowardice. 1t is, on the face OF it, quite
probable that Col Ames sympathized
with the desire of the members of the
Thirteenth to come home, and conse-

MAYOR WITH BACKBONE.
Chippewa Falls Executive Makes
the Street Railway Come to Time.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Aug o.
The trouble that has been brewing for
the past three months between the city
officials and the street railway company
reached a climax today and resulted in
a victory for Mayor Cunningham, by
which he cOmpels the company to COM
ply with its franchise. The road has been
in operation a year and during this time
the management has pers1stently refused
to run the interurban cars to the north
terminal of the line, known as the Jeffer-
soa avenue hill, claiming the power was
insufficient to propel the cars up the hill
This morning the mayor notified the COM
pany that at noon all conductors and
motormen who allowed their cars to
block up the street at the foot of the hill
would be placed under arrest When the
noon hour arrived police We're detailed
to be on hand to make the arrests. The
company also sent its superintendent and
attorney in an endeavOr to still further
arbitrate the matter. A large number of
citizens were also present to see the fun.
But the street railway company weak
ened when it found the mayor was in
earnest. Ordering more power switched
on, the cars were sent up the hill and
now continue to run the full length of
the line. The action of the mayor is
indorsed by all citizens.
