Such was the startling statement made
10 our man this morning by John
Lind, former governor Of Minnesota. Fur

statement was in no sense joke-that he
was never more earnest in his life His
only desire is to escape the troubles and
pitfalls Of state politics. earn living in
the practice of law, and incidentally to
grace chair in the council chamber.
Governor Lind reached home this morn
ing from business trip to Montana, and
when found was busy at his desk, opening
mail.
i suppose you want to know whether I
am going to run for governor, like all
the rest of them" he remarked smiling.
Take a seat. AS I have said before,
what is the use of telling you? If I
should say I would be a candidate they
would all say: He's confessed at last.
We knew 1t all the time If should
reiterate that I would not be a candidate,
they would only say, He's lying again,

governor was joking, saying: "After the

CHINESE-ADMISSION PLOT
Internal Revenue Collector, Chinese Inspector
and Others Arrested in Arizona.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The treasury off,
cials have unearthed what they allege is a
wide conspiracy in Nogales, Ariz., to ad-
NIT the Chinese to the United States.
Thus far the collector at Nogales, William
G. Hoey and Deputy and Chinese Inspect
or B. F. Jossey; Frank How and another
Chinaman who lives at Clifton, Ariz., have
been arrested. Other arrests will follow.
1t Is charged that the Chinese in large
numbers have been permitted to cross the
border upon the payment to the collector
of anywhere from $50 to 5000 apiece. Hoey
was appointed about year and half
ago from Indiana.
Later on it was developed that the let
ter ga" on a certificate indicated that the
amount demanded had been paid. Several
Cinnamon were sent through with the
requisite ga" mark on their certificates
made by one of the secret service men, A
special United States attorney will be de-
tailed to prosecute the persons arrested

bankers and manufacturers on the conti-
nent concerning American competition.
He added:
They perceive that we are Just getting ready
and In no respect is it Slikely they can
beat us in the future. How long can Europe
stand to pay balance of trade Of six hun
dred and fifty million dollars a year after all
our securities are sent back? Some able con-
tinental observers to whom put the inquiry
were unable to answer. They fear us.
Commenting on the fantastic idea of a
commercial bond of the European nations
against the United States, the Outlook
says:
One might as we'll try to hang a Venetian
blind over the sun to try to exclude the
influence of American Industries from the
world. For one thing, Great Britain would be
no party to the bond. For another, the power
of American reprisals would be terrible. Ever
now Germany is on the verge Of struggle
between classes, caused by the proposed tariff
Under the German tariff Austria would suffer
grievously. 1t is not easy to see how coun-
tries which are at issue with themselves and
each other and whose fiscal arrangements ex-
cite class against class, could agree on a
policy against a commerce competitor.
New York, Aug. Ex-senator Depew,
who returned from Europe to-day, said:
'"The nations over there, I have OBJ
served, are considerably scared by our
manufactures and are trying to make COM
binations against US; but I am in no fear
that they will be able to do it, although
they may act individually. The two
things they quarrel on are treaties and
favored-nation clauses. They can't agree
among themselves. 1t is like a combina-
tion of railroads-one railroad may say
we want 40 per cent, another railroad 50
per cent aud another railroad sixty per
cent, where there is only 100 per cent to
divide up

sent to Captain Lemly, judge-advocate
Of the court Of inquiry. This means that
so far as the department is concerned
further action on the Howison incident
will not be taken. that being left to the
court.
The correspondence is as follows:
Washington, D. c., Aug. q, 1Ss1-sir:
First-I have to acknowledge the receipt of
the department. letter of this date in reply
to my communication of the 10Th inst.
Second-While it Is true that one of my
counsel, Captain Parker, in reply to an in
quiry made to him, did give his personal
opinion of the several rear admirals on the
active and retired lists, among whom was
Rear Admiral Howison, l am assured by him
that he believes the secretary misunderstood
him to say that any one of the officers named
would be perfectly satisfactory to me- Cap
tain Parker's conversation was had at a
time when nothing was known of the alleged
interview as published in the Record.
Third-In my letter of the 10Th inst. I ex-
pressly stated my opinion Of the high per-
sonal character of Rear Admiral Howison
and 1 avoided any expression of opinion as
to the truth of the statements made in the
newspaper clipping which 1 enclose.
Fourth-It was with the desire to avoid the
necessity of making formal challenge that
l requested the department to lay before Ad-
miral Howison the statements that he is al
legged to have made and thus give him the
opportunity to take such action as his sense
of the propriety Of the occasion might sug-
gest

/ to use what have said. It is not q
joke, assure you"
rs there any thruth in the oft-repeated
story that you are under contract with
Judge Ueland to keep out Of politics for
FIVE years?"
II must follow Judge Ueland's example
and decline to discuss our partnership re-
lations."
A st. Paul morning paper quotes Judgs
Ueland as stating that Governor Lind
will under no circumstances re-enter thu
political field
Judge Ueland said this morning: "L
have said nothing Of the kind to any one"
Crosby IndOrses Lind.
Sohn Crosby, former alderman from the
fifth ward, and president Of the coun-
Gil up to last January, was informed Of
Governor Lind's declaration, and said:
Good. We will take him at his worA.
Mr.. Lind does not need to move out Of the
fifth ward. If he wants to go to the
council believe he could go from there
or from any ward in the city.
81 should be inclined to think he was
joking. A man OF his age and expert
ence Is not usually gotten into the coun-
Gil. They usually take a young man who
doesn't know any better, elect him, and
work him hard for four years. Then he is
ready to quit. Governor Lind is one of
the kind Of men we want in the council,
and if he wants to go I think he will
have no trouble"
Taken as a Joke at ST. Paul.
At the state capitol the Lind declaration
is treated as a joke, though on second
thought leading republicans admit that the
ex-governor may be in earnest. A promi-
nent state official discussed it as follows:
He must have made that announcement to
silence ali this talk. First, they had him run
ming for governor, then they had him turning
republican. Next, he was running for con-
gress. Its very good STALL and the best
he could have made.
1t would not surprise me, though, if Lind
really meant what he said. He certainly put
it strong enough to be entitled to belief.
He could find no better way of winning
popularity in the city of Minneapolis than by
going into the council and shaking things
UP. After he made record there Minne-
apolis would give him anything he wanted.
The duties of alderman would not interfere
with building up a law practice. They would
rather help his business, and still leave
him plenty of time to attend to it.
No matter how earnest he may be in his
| intention, however the democrats will get
him the ticket next year for something
| better than alderman. If he keeps out of
the governorship they will run him for con-
J gress.
