UNCLE SAM IS AFTER THEM.
Fergus Falls Journal ::

Fergus Falls Journal:
The Duluth term of the U. S. court
was very short. There were but five
Indian cases, the greater part OF this
business being done in Fergus Falls
The government is opening up new
field of investigation. 1t appears that
persons in the northern part of the
state have been homesteading two or
three pieces of land In order to do
this they have to swear falsely. -Four
were indicted at the Duluth term and
all pleaded guilty. They claimed they
were induced to take the second piece
of land and sell it for small sum to
the lumber men without ever seeing
it, and the person who procured them
to commit the crime was also indicted.
One of the largest lumbermen in the
state was indicted for cutting timber
on government land. The government
has large number of special agents in
the field and more crookedness will be
unearthed.

WHERE HE FOUND SECLUSEON
Senator Davis Was Accustomed to Seek
Rest on Staten Island.

The late Senator Cushman K. Davis
of Minnesota was one of the most in
dustrious of men, but frequently found
that he was. overtaxing his physical
strength. On such occasions he went
to New York and stayed at small
hotel on Staten Island. This was
habit known only to very few of his
personal friends. One of Senator
Davis friends on Staten Island was a.
man who for many years had been a
pilot and who now lives at this hotel.
The employees at the hotel were in
structed to deny the presence of the
senator should any inquiries be made
there for him. A man who was very
anxious 10 see Senator Davis in Wash
ington learned year ago that he had
been seen going to Staten Island,
and he called up every hotel there on
the telephone. From none of them
could he get any information, though
Senator Davis was at that time a guest
at one of them. His selection of this
hotel was due to the fact that he had
acquaintance there and because it
was about the last place in New York
where anyone would search for him.
One of his friends stumbled on this re-
treat by chance last summer. He met
the senator and his friend, the pilot.
just returning from trip to Coney
Island.

ORE in MINNESOTA,
There Is Plenty OF It, According to F. B.
Daugherty.
st. Paul Dispatch

ST. Paul Dispatch:
Senator F. B. Daugherty, of Duluth
is at the Windsor. Speaking of Prof.
Winchell's opinion on the iron ore dis
covered at Anoka, he said:
81 believe there is ore in many
places in Minnesota that have not yet
been located. 1t is a question whether
it is good enough to be of commercial
use at present. 80. Ore Anoka, to be
of any value, would have to be of very
good quality, because it is so far from
market, and then it takes a lot of
money to equip and operate a mine.
Ihere are millions of ore in the Grand
Marais and other districts, which the
iron companies will not touch at pre-
sent, because they can get all they
want of better quality. The time
will come, however, when all this will
be used, though it may not be in our
lifetime. 1t is not so many years ago
when the Minnesota Iron company and
its experts would not touch the Mis-
sabe. The ore was different from any
that had previously been discovered,
and they thought it no good. The ex-
perts have had reasons to change their
minds with regard to the Missabe, and
they may change them with regard to
ore found in other localities
Senator Daugherty says he does not
believe an extra session of the legisla-
ture to consider tax revision either
necessary or advisable.
"The time for the regular session il
soon enough" he said. THE gross
earnings proposition should first be
voted upon, and the people should
have at least a year to study and con-
slider the report of the tax commission
before the Legislature is called upon tc
enact law"

lieving that just prior to the meet

McLaurin will resign and request

Of regaining his place in the senate.
The senator believes he has as much
right to define Democratic principles

MRS. M'KINLEY SHOWS NO SIGN
OF REGAINING HER
al STRENGTH.
PRESIDENT is WORRIED
Distinguished Sufferer Has Shown Re-
markabIe Vitality, but 1t Is Feared
That Unless Change for the Bet
ter Takes Place She May Become
So Near Exhausted as to Be With
out RaIlying Power.

Washington, June 3.-Mrs. McKin-
ley continues very weak. Her condition
is not greatly changed but each day
that elapses without gain in
strength lessen her powers of recu-
peration. The complaint which came
near ending her life in San Francisco
is still present. 1t is in a slightly
less aggravated form, but gives the
physicians and the president much
concern. Mrs. Mckinley has shown
remarkable vitality, but her illness
has so reduced her strength as to
leave her very feeble indeed. It is
feared that unless a change for the
better soon manifests itself her
strength may become so near exhaust
ed as to leave her without rallying
power. The news given out by the
physicians in attendance was not re-
assuring, though hope of better
things still continues. After a con-
sultation between Doctors Rixey,
Sternberg and Johnston, the following
bulletin was issued:
Mrs. Mckinley passed a comforta.
bic night, but her condition has not
materially changed"
Many Callers at the White House.
There was no further consultations
of the physicians during the day, but
DR.. Rixey called during the evening
and spent some time with the patient.
In response to inquiries from time to
time the statement. was made that
there had been no change in the con-
dition of the distinguished sufferer.
President Mckinley spent most of
the day at the bedside of his wife,
though late in the afternoon he went
out for an hours drive. He departed
alone but met Judge Watson Of Ohio,
an old friend, on the way and the lat
ter accompanied him to the White
House.
There were many callers at the
White House during the day and
evening, making anxious inquiries re-
garding Mrs. Mckinley. With few ex-
eeptions they simply left their cards
after being assured by the doorkeep-
ers that there was no change in Mrs.
McKinley's condition.

NO SPECIAL, SESSION.

That the financial status of the Ter
ritory Ia unpleasant is a fact which
needs no special argument to prove. 1t
need not have been SO if the Legislature
had doneiits duty ard taken up rev
enue bill during the sixty days of the
regular session which 1t wasted in
speech naking, in assaiNng the Execu-
tive and In legislating, for female dogs.
However, the application Of blame does
not suggest aeremedy. The question is,
what shall be done, il anything, to
meet the emergency that now exists?
One of the renegade Republican pa
pers which is trying to benefit by the
Home Rule vote, suggests special ses-
sion, and says. touching the fear. that
the majority would seize the chance to
pass county bills and other predatory
measures. that sit is generally accept
ed that the only matters to which the
Legislature in special session may give
It's attention are such measures as are
specifically mentioned In the call OF the
Governor" This is a clear error, by no
means generally accepted" The only
sesSion of the Hawaiian Legislature
which can be held down to the consid-
Grafton of any one subject Is the extra
session called to consider an appropria-
ton bill: If the Legislature is convened

Wilcox gift-enterprise measures
Queens pensions, Tramway franchises

the way; and despite the assurance Of
the former champions of decentraliza-
ton that nobody wants a county bill
now, we are inclined to believe that the
Legislature, with a lot of new offices In
sight, could not keep its fingers out of
the poi for five minutes.
Nor would our belief be altered by
signed statement of the Home Rule
lawmakers, pledging themselves to the
consideration of revenue alone. The
history of the County Government bill
shows how little faith can be placed In
the honor of the Home Rule members
Upon the first reading of that act,
amendments were proposed by the Re-
publicans, but they were withdrawn In
Difference to the Home Rule pledge that,
upon third reading, they would have

that they wanted the first reading to
be uninterrupted. so that they could get
clear idea of the scope Of the BILL The
Republicans acquiesced, but when the
third readingscame the bill was TANNED
through. despite Republican protests.
the Home Rulers laughing at, their own
pledges and at their opponents for be-
lieving them.
Having men Of this degenerate class
to deal with. 1t would be useless to rely
upon them in the matter of a special
session. They would. in all likelihood,
have a carnival of spoils. and in the end
pile up more liabilities than assets. Our
Territorial case, financially, Is bad
enough. and It is better to bear the Ills
we have than fly, to others that we
know not OF.
