The Liberals numbered 250 men. chiefly

A bloody engagement ensued in which the
casualties on both sides amounted to
eighteen men killed and forty wounded.
The government troops sue ,eeded in

Prizes Range From
$4,000 to $500.

WaSn1nStOn, II. ".
WASHINGTON, Dec 16.-Having seri-
ously concluded that the automobile may
be substituted for the horse in military
operations, Great Britain has announced
a competition and list of prizes varying
from 5000 down to $500 for machines
adapted to the Uses of war. The invita-
ton to American manufacturers to en-
ter the contest was communicated
through the British embassy here and
was announced by the state department..
This contest will be held in the spring
of 1903. A circular has been issued out
lining in a general way what kind of ma
chimes are wanted. Some must be heavy
tractors, capable of hauling cannon over
ordinary roads. Each must be able to
haul load of twenty-five tons dis
lance not less than forty miles at an av-
erage speed of three miles an hour, car
rying It's own fuel and without replenish
ing. Another class must be able to haul
twelve tons on level road at the rate
Of eight miles an hour for short distances.
The tractors must be SO designed as to
be capable of travelling over rough roads
and in all kinds of weather. They must
feet deep, and they must be so contrived
that one man can operate them without
leaving his cab. They are not required
to jump fences or climb trees.
The state department will furnish more
detailed specifications to persons desir-
ing to compete. Formal entry must be
filed at the war Office, Horse Guards,
Whitehall, London.

sary positions, nor the dismissal Of an
incompetent or an unsatisfactory en-
ploye AS nearly as I can gauge the pres
ent situation the working force in almost
every department can be and should
largely be reduced. Such positions are
likely to be abolished, but that does not
mean that there will be many vacancies
to be filled.
81 speak of this now for two reasons.
I want the subordinates in the city
service, especially those who are con-
scious that their positions are not likely
to be retained, to have fair warning, so
that they may find other employment
when possible. And 1 equally want to
warn those who are anxious to secure
positions under the city government that,
in the presence of large reduction of
the working forces the chance for fresh
appointments, outside the exempt class,
is small. Such appointments of this char
acter as are made must be from the eligi-
bic lists prepared by the civil service
commission.

BISMARCK, Dec. 16-George B. Win
ship, editor of the Grand Forks Herald,
promises to furnish the most interesting
feature Of the next Republican state con-
vention or it's immediate preliminaries.
Winship has declared war on Jud La
INQUIRE, of Pembina, who is without ques-
ton a candidate for congress. He has
served notice on Tom Marshall that he
will oppose his efforts to secure re-
nomination. AT this distance 1t looks
as if there will be much more than the
usual bitterness between the Republican
factions when the convention adjourns.
1t is the general opinion that Winship
will be unable to make a successful
tackle in his play against Lamoure.
Whatever the convention may prove, the
big majority of Republican workers be-
lieves that Lamoure is to be nominated.
The old man believes that it is about
time for him to receive some of the hon.
ors. He has gone into the fight to win
and at the present time various promi-
nent Republicans assert that Lamoure
will not only be nominated. but he will
be power in naming his running mate
on the congressional ticket.
Tom Marshall has done much work re-
Gently on his political fences in the south
ern part CT the state He has made a
hard play against eX-Congressman Spald-
ing, of Fargo, who is also out for con-
gress. Marshall is accused by Spalding's
friends Of endeavoring to so mix things
in Cass county that Spalding will be I'M

ed that he has tried to enlist the support
of James Kennedy, of Fargo, in this en-
terprise. Spaldings friends are naturally

KNOX is CONFIRMED
ATTORNEY GENERALS FRIENDS IN
THE SENATE HAD VOTES
TO SPARE
H0AR AND PETTUs IN DEFENSE
Opposition Wanted Evidence of
Trust Amdavits Published, but
1t VIII Not Be-Vote
Is 43 to z.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Just before
adjournment tonight the senate confirmed
the nomination of Hon. Philander Knox
to be attorney general of the United
States The nomination of Mr.. Knox
was taken up when the senate first went
into executive session a few minutes
after IL o'clock, but the point was made
that there first should be action upon
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty under the
agreement reached last Thursday. The
virtue of this plan was conceded after a
tentative agreement was made that fur
ther consideration Of the nomination
should be postponed until tomorrow.
When, however, the senate disposed Of
the treaty the attorney generals nominal
ton was again called up. The discussion
of it turned upon motion made by Sena-
tor Jones, of Arkansas, to recommit the
nomination to the committee on judiciary,
in the meantime publishing the testimony
bearing upon the case. Speeches in favor
of this proposition were made by Sena-
tors Jones and Turner, and in opposition
by Senators Hoar and Pettus. 1t was
contended by the two senators last named
that the only evidence presented against
confirmation had been filed by members
of the Antitrust league and was very
vague and indefinite.
No Publicity Desired.
The senators favoring the motion said
that If this were true there could be no
objection on the part of the friends Of
the attorney general to placing all the
facts within reach of the public, and the
more time the committee should give to
the subject the more thoroughly the pub
lie would be convinced Of the fairness Of
its position when ultimately taken. They
dwelt at some length upon the charge
made that the attorney general, previous
to entering upon the duties of that Of
flee, had been attorney for the United
States Steel corporation and the armor
plate manufacturers.
In reply to these accusations it was
said that 1t was legitimate for an attor-
ney in private life to represent any in
terest in his official capacity, and it was
argued that his position as counselor for
those interests could not be used legiti-
mately against him in connection with
his nomination to position under the
present administration. So long as he
had conducted himself with propriety his
relationship as an attorney should not
be used to his injury as an official
The vote on the motion to reconmit
was lost. The ballot stood 43 to T. There
was no roll call on the motion to confirm,
which Immediately followed.

MAY BREAK A TRUST
NINETEEN INDEPENDENT DISTIL-
LERIES TO BEGIN CAMPAIGN
IN WHISKY
one A MAMMOTH CONCERN
Demand Has Increased So Fast That
the Daily Output of Spirits
Has Been Almost
Doubled.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Dec. 16.-It has become
known that nineteen independent distil-
leries are preparing for campaign
against the Distilling Company of Amer
lea, otherwise known as the whisky
trust" Eighteen of these distilleries are
already in operation and the nineteenth,
mammoth concern, with a daily ca
pacity of 10000 gallons of high wines, will
be started on Jan. by Corning & Co.,
In this city. Six months ago the trust
was manufacturing practically all the
spirits of this country and had yerita-
BILE monopoly of the trade, disposing of
about $4,000 gallons day. Since then
the demand has increased so that 10000
bushels Of grain are now being mashed
daily, the yield being 100000 gallons of
spirits.
One of the peculiar conditions of the
new situation is that it may lead to the
reopening Of the old Shufeldt distillery
in Chicago. A call has been issued by
the whisky trust for a special meeting
to be held in Jersey City next day,
when the question of reducing the capital
stock will be considered. The trust stock
now amounts to $125 100000, consisting Of
SOB, 100000 preferred and S70,0O0, 600 COM
mon. OF these issues $23,750,OOO of pre-
ferred and $23,573,OO0 of common are in
the treasury, leaving outstanding s77,67
600 1t is proposed to cancel $40, 000, 900 Of
these stocks, thus reducing the capital

TREATY is RATIFIED


the treaty, expressing his qualification
that American diplomacy had succeeded
in securing such triumph as was made
in this treaty over the original Hay
Pauncefote agreement.
Senator Bacons speech was made in
connection with a motion to amend the
treaty. In presenting this amendment,
he said that he was In favor Of canal,
and would vote for the treaty with the
Davis amendment. He said he opposed
the treaty because he did not believe it
would give the United States full control
of the canal. He said that Great Britain
rejected the amended Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, but sent us another treaty about
Identical with the former treaty rs
amended except as regards the Davis
amendment. He considered that fact the
most important feature of the whole
controversy.

the certainty of ratification had become

votes on the amendments succeeded each

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST

that he was beaten by unfair tactics He
looks upon Marshall as a political acct
dent, and evidently does not regard him
entitled to consideration. Winship has
begun the fight early. 1t is currently re-
ported that efforts have been made to
placate him, but have failed. He does
not seek the nomination for governor
this year, but he wants a few scalps.
Wfnship fights hard up to the date of
the Republican convention, but following
the last two conventions he maintained
simply an Indifferent attitude toward the
Republican ticket instead of opposing it.
He has the largest personal following
of any man in his party, but the gang
has been able to beat him out at the last
two conventions. Not since the days
when Roger Allen was governor has the
Winship crowd been in evidence in the
makeup of the kitchen cabinet at Bis
marck.
Oficeholders Are Alert.
There never has been time in the his
tory of the state when federal Office
holders have been so active in politics
as now. William Bulge, postmaster at
Grand Forks, is chairman of the Repub-
lican state committee. He is endeavor-
ing to make himself dictator in Repub-
lican politics in that county. Bulge is
one of the main spokes of the Republican
machine and deyotes much time to per-
fecting his part of it. He has double
mission this year. He is expected to
block Winship's influence in Grand
Forks county, and by trading off every
thing in sight finally arrange the leg
islative conventions SO that Hansbrough
men will be nominated. 70 aid this plan
John M. Cochrane, of Grand Forks, has
been brought out as candidate for su-
preme court justice. Mr.. Cochrane has
always trained with the Winship crowd
but he is believed to be entirely in
harmony with the plans of the machine
now.
The heads of departments in the Re-
publican state organization are well pro-
vided with government jobs. In addi-
ton to Chairman Bulge being postmas-
ter at Grand Forks, Secretary Jewell,
who is also editor of the Tribune here,
has the secretaryship of senate COM
nittee secured for him by Senator Hans
brough. Maj. Hamilton, the Man Friday
of the Republican machine, is one of the
senate doorkeepers, also secured through
the pull of Senator Hansbrough Hamll-
ton put in much time preparing for the
trouble of the coming year this summer
Ostensibly he was doing patriotic work
for the Republican party. His real mis-
sion was to get things in better shape
for Senator Hansbrough in Grand Forks
county and the northern part Of the
state.
