LOGS AT MINNEAPOLIS.
The Lumberman Says the Mills Are Run
ming Again and Have Logs
For Several Weeks.

Logs are running In very slowly
to the boom in this city. Nearly all ol
the mills are at work, but on q com.
paratively small supply of logs.
The Shevlin- Carpenter company's
mill is the only mill
that has not ceased work dur.
ing the present log shortage. This
mill ran two days with band saws
only, but the log supply growing
better, they set their gang to- work
also. The Diamond mill, after being
closed for something more than q
week, started work yesterday. The
Plymouth mill did a little work on
Wednesday but closed again Con
Thursday to begin again today.
The Backus- Brooks mill began work
with full crews on Tuesday. The
Bovey-DeLaittre mill closed down
yesterday for lack OF logs, but Is al
work again today: The G: A. Smith
mill lost but two days
and this was because OF break.
age in machinery. They have rea.
sonably good supply of logs. All Of
the other mills are at work sthia
morning. 1t is feared. however,
that as soon as the rear of the pres.
ent drive reaches the city there will
be shut down for possibly a month.
This possible shut down will not
come during the month of June,
however, and there is yet time
enough for rain to fall in sufficient
quantities to relieve the log short

However, the defeated team claims
that the winners have refused to

HUNTING FOR SOME SUSPECTS.
Sheriff Merrill, Of Anoka, Was Here Sun
day, Looking for Parties Supposed to
i Be Implicated In the Wise Murder.

Sheriff Merrill, OF Anoka county,
was in the city Sunday, following
up a clue and in search OF parties
supposed to be implicated in the re.
cent murder OF members OF the Wise
family OF that county.
1t is understood that the parties
he was looking for" had been here
but had disappeared before his ar
rival. They were two. young men,
who in appearance were somewhat
like tramps and suspicion was d.
rected toward them by remarks
made by them recently at Wahpeton.
These remarks were overheard by
a gentleman whose name we did not
learn, but he accompanied Sheriff
Merrill here Sunday for the purpose,
no doubt, of Identifying the suspects.
This man states that he overheard
these men talking and one said,
There's no use, Harry has got to put
up more money for that job" They
also said something about 'that
damn Swede" which Is supposed to
be reference to the man johnson,
who was recently arrested at his
home about three miles from the
Wise farm.
The man Harry referred to in their
remarks is supposed to be Harry
Balcolm, who was one of the first
parties suspected of participation in
this horrible crime.
The two suspects arrived here
Wednesday evening, Thursday they
were registered at the Little Falls
house. Sheriff Merrill cut out that
portion of the register page on
which their names were written
and took it with him. Their
names were not learned, for they
were written in such a scrawl that
it's was almostimpossible for anyone
to make them out with any
degree OF accuracy.
The men left here some time Satur-
day night, but the direction taken
is unknown.
Sheriff Merrill, it is said, is now
searching for them in this vicinity
and expects to find them before
many hours. Another suspicious
feature about these two subjects is
that they are said to carry a whole
pocket full OF newspaper clippings
concerning the Wise murder.

The Herald is looking for ca
lamity and disaster and parti-
cularly enjoys publishing any
article that indicates distress
and h hardship. In the last issue
of this respondent sheet it
publishes one of those ideally
parallels" It is composed of an
editorial and a Chicago letter in
the Pioneer Press. In the edit
orial the Pioneer Press tells of
the general prosperity of the
country. The correspondence
from Chicago tells of the con-
dition of that city. Any well
informed reader knows tha
about SOC union workingmen
in the building trades in that
city have been in conflict with
their former employers. for
months, and that one of the
greatest industries there has
beeen at a standstill for a long
period. This great strike in
Chicago has not only affected
hundreds OF thousands in Chi
cago, but has limited the mar.
ket for steel and lumber for
buildings. But even such a
great industrial disturbance has
not made untrue the editorial of
the Pioneer Press. It would be
as logical and fair to ma ke a
comparison based on the great
woman's convention in Milwau-
kee last week, and the denuding
of girls in st. Louis who dared
to ride on street cars. The Mil
waukee convention indicated
what a great influence women
were having in the affairs of
this country, yet in the strike
scourged city on the Mississippi
it was shown that American
women were insulted and abused
without good cause. But the
disgraceful acts of the mobs in
st. Louis would not disprove
the general belief that American
women. are respected and OF
great influence in affairs. The
Herald can find contrasts in
ions conditand material for
t'parallels" every week, but
they will all be of that shifty,
evasive type that characterized
it's last effort.

The fate of the Orange Free
State is a sad one. The people
of that country had no quarrel
with England. But they took
up the cause of the Beers, and
went to war with England. 5zThe
Orange Free Skaters did not in
dulge in any of the discrimina-
tions against Uitlanders that
was one cause of the friction be-
tween the Transvaal Republic
and England. Foreigners CON-
ing to the Free State were
treated about as they are in the
United States. They could vote
about as soon as they can here,
and could hold almost any Office.
There was property qualifica-
ton for voting, but it was ap-
parcntly fair under the circum-
stances. But the promptness
with which the Free State en-
gagged in war with England for
third party showed England
plainly it was constant threat
to her South African interests
to have even as small a nation
as the Free State continue it's
existence: Self protection CON-
PEELED the annexation of the
Free State, and the Free st ate
suffered for her interference.

BRYAN AND THE FILIPINOS.
Curtis in Chicago Record.

Curtis In Chicago RECORD.
I have just received from
Manila a circular printed by the
insurgent leaders which was
captured with a lot of other
printed matter of a similar char
acter. during a recent engage
ment. It is a little leaflet of
eight pages, 4 by 9 inches in
size, printed upon yellow wrap
ping paper, which indicates
that printers supplies are scarce
among the Filipinos. It con-
tains an appeal signed by
Aguinaldo to hisfellow country
men to continue their resistance
of the Yankees until "MacKin-
ley" is defeated for reelection,
when the writer promises that
Bryan will give them indepen-
dence. He says he received as
surances from friends in the
United States senate that con-
gress will do nothing to help
"MacKinley" and Otis, but will
sustain Bryan's policy and order
the Yankee troops withdrawn
from Manila.
Another page is made up of
extracts from speeches and let
tiers of ex-senator Boutwell,,
Edward Atkinson and other
members of the anti-imperialist
organizations; but the most in
teresting article in the leaflet is
'thefollowing alleged letter from
Washington, under the title,
"The Near Triu mph of Mr.. w.
J. Bryan and Philippine indie
pendence."
"Washington, 18th of August
1899.-Mr. W. j. Bryan, the
Democratic candidate for. the
presidency of the United States
has achieved a veritable triumph
having been vociferously ap-
plauded before the national
democratic conventional Omaha
Neb., which was composed Of
more than 10, 600 persons.
"The silver Democrats, the
partisans of gold and the Pop
ulists, all united, have accepted
the entire platform ofMr. Bryan
with which he will make his
presidential campaign of 1900.
This platform is especially d.
rected against imperialism, or
colonial expansion, which brings
with it the necessity of having
a large standing army.
''Mr. Bryan in his brilliant
speech calls attention to the
unhappy consequence of the ex-
pansionist or imperialist policy
stating that in order to main
tain it a permanent army of
100000 men is Indispensable,
and that, onthe contrary, $500
soldiers only would be neces-
sary for a republic of 0,000, 900
of people. He showed how un-
happy is the imperialistic sys-
tenn, which is founded only on
force, in contrast with the anti
imperialistic or republican idea,
which has it's foundation on the
consent of the people. He pre-
dicted legislation against trusts
and monopolies' and left for fu-
ture consideration the question
Of a new coinage system. The
democrats of the southern, east
ern and western states have all
adhered to the political pro-
gram of Mr.. Bryan and predic t
his triumph. Many anti imperial
istlc Republicanshave also post
ed themselves at the side of Mr..
Bryan. His triumph means the
triumph of the traditional dem
ocratic ideas of the people. But
the triumph of Mr.. Bryan is also
that of the Filipino cause. Mr..
Bryan will declare the indepen-
dence Of the!Philippines, as he
has repeatedly set forth in his
speeches. Mr.. Bryan5therefore
represents the independence of
