Columbus. o., Nov. 1s.--""It is Mr..

Thus said Allen w. Thurman, who

no judgment whatever displayed by
him in this matter. Everybody saw
thatsthere was not the slightest chance
of its doing any good except Mr.. Bry-
an. His s~tubbornness, which he hon
estlys mistook for consistency and con-

more to retard democratic success than

ing the parties who broke into and

bound them over. to the federal court
in the sum of $1,000 each. They Will. be
confined In the jail in this city.
The case against the two men ap-
pears to be strong. There was found
In their possession two loaded revol-
yers. The cartridges in the weapons
were of three different makes. In the
pockets Of the prisoners were found
SIX cartridges corresponding with those
in the revolYers. Just inside the win
dow of the Komstad postof1ce, through
which the robbers gained an entrance,
were found three cartridges, CORE
spending In size and make with those
found in the loaded revolyers and in
the pockets of the two men.
In addition to the cartridges and
weapons the men also had a bunch OF
keys n a bottle OF machine oil. The
oil vas purchased at Parker on the day
Of heir arrest. They asked for sperm
oil, but when told by the druggist that
he had nothing but machine Oil, they
replied that it would do just as well. A
sum of money and a quantity of post
age stamps were found in the possess
sion of the two men.
Ross and Williams answer the de-
scription of two strangers who were
hanging around Komstad the afternoon
and evening before the robbery.

Geddes, S.. D., Nov. 15.-AttorneyS
General John u. Pyle has brought ac.s
ton in quo warrant in h circuit
court of Charles Mix countyssto GUST
States Attorney 7. j.. Remington. who
was elected to that office atthe NovenlsS
Der election of last year..
The action wasscommenced at M
stance of j. w. Lindsay, a rival candi-s
date of Mr. Remington's for the office
of states attorney, who is authorized
by the attorney general to- act IN sthes
states behalf In the prosecution. The
petition alleges that Remington was not
eligible to the office which he ts hold
Ing and charges him with intruding
himself into ~tleSof1ce of states attorsf
ney of Charles Mix county, for thesrea-s
son that Remington a not resided In
the state long enough under the#taWs
defining the qualifications for saidssof-s

Among Other things, the petition alss
leges that Remington was a r~esidentsof
Kenton, Harden county, o., prior to
December LIST, 1899, and that his family
remained in Ohio until about June
1900, before they Joined him at this
place. Mr.. Remington gave bonds and

has filed the office creditably since.
The action vas a surprise todthe people

the event of Remington being ousted,
unGer the law Lindsay wouldsn not be

A kLoNDiKE REvoL
Alleged Conspiracy ~ Sep1rats Min
ina DI1trlck From Eagiann.s

8SansEranGiEGO, Nov 19-TheS "a yes
lerdays printed an uiconfirmed story
from Skagway, Alaska. under date OF
November 5. telling OF the discovery OF
what is alleged to be a huge conspir-
acy existing IN Dawson and ramIfying
to Skagway, Victoria, Vancouver and
Seattle, for tile overthrow 81 the
Northwest Territory and the establish
ment of a republic, with Dawson as its
capital. According to the details OF the
story, arms, ammunition and provisions
have been taken in over the railroad
and cached at strategic point. Promi-
nent American residents OF! Skagway
are said to be .ringleaders of the con-
spiracy. Miners to the number Of 5000
are said to await the summons to arms,
ready to fight for the independence
from Dominion rule Of the gold fields,
camps and towns. The plan is to over
power the mounted police, arrest the
civil authorities and take the govern
ment into their own hands. The rigors
of the Arctic winter would give the in
surgents six months immunity from
attack by Canadian or British troops
and these adventurous conspirators
hope for intervention or outside assist
nnce by the time Of the melting Of the
Ice and snow which will permit the In
vasion of their isolated ssepublic.
1t Is further related that a hurried
conference lasting until midnight was
eld at Skagway November 5, at which
We're present Captain Corrigan, of the
northwest mounted police, who had ar
rived from across the Canadian border
late that evening. Judge Brown, OF
the United States district court. United
States Marshal Shoup, United States
Attorney Frederick and Major Hovey,
commanding the United States troops
at Skagway, attended the meeting. This
was the last Of several hasty c%onsulta-
stions between the civil and military
representatives Of the two powers In
relation to the mysterious transporta-
ton of supplies into the interior and
rumors Of a conspiracy to lead the
miners In a revolt against Canadian
government In the Northwest Territory.
Those present maintained subsequently
the strictest silence concerning the
new evidence laid before them, and
their evident anxiety helped to confirm
the rumors of a conspiracy.
Captain Corrigan took a train back
across the border the next morning,
while Unitel States Marshal Shoup EN-
parked on the first steamer for Seattle,
which port ne reached several days
age. The object OF his visit was pre-
ssumably to confer by telegraph with
h authorities at Washington. He
sailed yesterday afternoon on the Dol.
