VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT.

The jury in the case of J. N. Lang
VS.. Chas. Schwarble retired at ten
O'Clock last night and after being out
all night agreed on a verdict for the
defendant this morning. 1t called
Judge Ogle up several times during
the night to tell him how it stood and
that it could not agree. He kept it
out. At a. m. it called him up and
asked to be instructed as to how much
the steer weighed. This was the point
that the jury was to decide, and the
Judge so informed it.

A Russian military expert in speak
ing of the United States says that its
future lies largely upon the water and
that in event of great transoceanic
war this country could speedily and
easily starve Europe to submission.
The mere defeat of a European squad
ron, he says, would be of little advan-
tage to America, but when our fast
cruisers begin to Systematically patrol
European shore lines then the trouble
would begin in earnest and Europe
would find itself forced to sue for
peace. This is a somewhat new view
of the situation. There has long been
feeling that when the trans Siberian
railroad was finished it would open
up vast fertile country which would
be fast settled up and at once become
a close competitor with the United
States in the work Of feeding the
world. But this Russian expert seems
to ignore any such posi- bilities for HE
home country and says that nothing
can dislodge the United States from
its position as the great provider of
Europe's necessities of life Evidently
it will be mistake for the United
States to neglect the work of building
its navy. 1t today has the lead, and
if it always keeps in position to COM
mand the respect of the world by the
provinces of its navy, it will be in
far better position to extend and main
tain it's fast extending trade relations.

THE CONQUEST OF KOREA.
Japanese Legend of Emperor Chuaf
and His Valiant Wife.

Seventeen centuries ago the Japanese
Emperor Chuai was playing his lutte
In the presence of his wife and prime
minister. Whether on account of the
music or from some other cause, the
empress became inspired with a divine
aft1atus and began to utter the thoughts
put into her mind by the deity. There
is land to the westward" she ex-
claimed, "and in that land is album
dance of treasure gold and silver. daz-
zling to look upon. This land 1 will
now bestow upon you"
The emperor pushed away his lutte.
eff you go up to high place and look
toward the west" said he, there is no
land to be seen, but only the great wa
tiers. They are lying spirits who have
spoken to you"
Then the good god was filed with
anger, and again he moved the empress
to prophesy. you are not fit" she
said, ito rule this empire. Go the one
roadv'
But the prime minister trembIed
when he heard these words and said to
his master: 81 am troubled, my heaven
ly sovereign, by this terrible message.
Continue, l pray, to play the august
lutte"
The Emperor Chuai commenced to
play softly. Gradually the sound died
away; all was still. They held a light
to his face and saw that he was dead.
But the empress put herself at the
head Of her feet, invaded the land Of
gold and silver with her warriors and
soon made the three kingdoms of Ko-
rea tributary to Japan.
These things happened, we are told,
( in the year POI A. D., and the story of
the valiant empress is as familiar to a
japanese as is that of Boadicea to our.
selves.-Nineteenth Century

THE NEW GLOBE.

The following dispatch from St.
Paul gives the interesting news that
the St. Paul Globe is to experience a
great change in management:
The sale of the ST. Paul Globe by J
j. Hill to a syndicate of democrats
has been cOnsummated and the new
company filed. articles of incorpora.
ton with the secretary of state yester.
day. The capital stock is placed al
sI0O, 900, to be paid in as called for
by the directors. The incorporators
are John Lind, L. A. Rosing, Richard
7. O'Connor, Otto Bremen aad David
B. Evans. The last named resides al
Tracy. They will constitute a board
of directors which will manage the
paper.
The new concern is expected to take
charge OF the paper about March Is.
1t will be made an out-and-o out demo.
cratic organ, and it is safe to assume
TIT re will be no further boiling OF
national platforms. Few if any
changes are looked for under the new
management, other than the fact that
Mr.. Rosing will become general mau-
ager, succeeding w. F. Luxton, who
mas EN- acting in that capacity for
a couple of years. The price paid for
the paper is not known on the outside.
The whole Northwest has cause for
congratulation if these gentlemen are
successful in their undertaking, and
manage to keep the paper free from
corporate influence and hew to the line
for the people in the fight of the mas
ses against the classes. Such a paper
has been needed for long time and
it does seem reasonable that one such
newspaper in the state should not only
manage to live but secure so strong a
support. that it would always be full
of energy, vim and business, leading
all others. The new Globe will be
eagerly watched for and the new man
ayers have the best wishes of the TR1-
BUNE for their success.

Right you are. The state never had

fifteen years. The company thu Sc
cured the monopoly foisted upon us
an out-of date set of books, and hav.
ing no competition they of course took
no steps to improve them. True, they
made some changes once in while
but they were not improvements, but
schemes to compel people to buy new
books for their children. The present
system may not be an ideal one, but
it certainly gives us school books
better in quality, typographical work
and binding.

The CHANGE At The PRISON.

General Reeve, the retiring Ward.
en-, in an interview said: "When a
Board of Managers was created fo1
the Prison to take the management
out of politics, the first incumbent was
a republican who held the Office OF
Warden until he left it voluntarily.
His successor, also republican,
filled the position for a number OF
years, the last eleven months being
under democratic Governor and
democratic Board. He resigned to &C.
cept an s8000.00 position with the
Grass Irvine Company. The true in.
tent of the law, however, was not fully
understood until after the election OF
the present Governor, who at once
pointed out the important fact that
non-partisan action in the selection OF
Warden was all right so long as the
Warden was a republican.
"And to emphasize this view he
called meeting of the Board, three
days after his Inauguration, at his Of
fee in St. Paul, for the purpose OF
electing new Warden. It was not
until the members assembled that he
learned with surprise and no doubt
chagrin that a Warden could only be
elected at a regular meeting of the
Board held in the city of Saltwater.
This meeting took place on the 7th
ult. To- the mild suggestion that the
present Warden had managed the at
fairs of the prison to the entire salts
faction of the Board as clearly set
forth in their last Biennial report, he
replied with the knock-down argument
that HE had decided on change, and
should, if necess airy to accomplish it,
remove every member Of the Board.
1T was one of the fruitful and pop.
|.ular arguments during the recent
campaign that the report Of the Board
Of Managers, showing aprofit 81 Sl6,.
