The Northern Pacific contemplates the
transportation of 10000 horses from For
syth. Mont, to St. Paul after the grea,
auction sale, which occurs at the former
place on June II to q. Some idea of the
number of horses in this shipment can
be gained from the fact that 500 cars
VIII be required to carry them, or Is
trainloads of 33 cars each. The North
ern Pacific will give free transportation
from Chicago to Forsyth and return for
each buyer who ships one or more cars
of horses.

THE RAILROADS

The local offices of the Northern Pa
cific railroad received a telegram TODAY
from 9. S. Fee, general passenger agent,
announcing that the Yellowstone park
Will be opened on June l, instead Of June
10 as previously announced. This action
is taken owing to the fact that the presi-
dental party will visit the park on it's

Major Dawson of the Great Northern

of three sections, containing over 500
people. This makes a total of about 900
. people who took advantage of the low
rate on the Great Northern road THU,
week, and the Northern Pacific carried
nearly as many more.

Work will be commenced, it is said, by
the LIST of May on line of railroad, be-
ginning at Brainerd. Blnn., and running
southwest to Mile Laos lake and along
It's southern shore, thence south, joining
the Northern Pacific at Becker, dis
lance of eighty miles. The road will be
called the Brainerd & Mile Laos railway.
The promoters of the new road are men
officially connected with the Northern
Pacific, and the line will probably be UNI
der the control Of that system. The OBJ
ject of the road is to tap new and val
liable territory, and to furnish the North
ern Pacific with an ideal place on its
line for summer resort. The summer
passenger traffic for pleasure is not an
inconsiderable feature with Northwestern
railroads, and in Mile Laos lake the
Nothern Pacific will have a resort second

N0T PROPER NOW
Secretary Root Points Out 1nadvis-
ability of Answering De
Almond Resolution.

Washington, Jan. 15-The house
military affairs committee today de-
cided to lay on the table De Almonds
calling OH the secretary Of
war for information as to what pro-
test, criticism or suggestion General
Chaffee, or any other American officer
in China made concerning looting or
other improper conduct; to whom it
was made and the result. The COM
mite 's action was based on the fol-
lowing letter from Secretary Root to
Chairman Hull, setting forth the
reaso ms why it would be inadvisable
to on en- the matter to public discus
sion:
"The subject to which this resolu-
ton relates is so intimately connected
with diplomatic relations and negotia-
tions concerning the critical and deli
cate conditions now existing in China
that I think it would be very inadvis-
able to attempt any public statement
or invite public discussion upon any
branc oh of the subject at this time.
The time doubtless will come when
the whole subject will be a proper
matter for report, but that time clear
~ has not yet come.
"An answer to the resolution would
require me to call upon General
Chafee for a detailed report and It is
probable no answer could be ree4- yed
before the end of the present session Of
congress-"

Says Burning of Negro Is to States Lasting Shame

Preventing Mobs Deed.

the trouble the minute the sheriff
would say he needed them. Instead
of that, however, the sheriff was very
sure that he could guard the man.
Upon receiving repeated assurances
from Sheriff Everhardy that he could
and would protect the prisoner to the
last, I very reluctantly countermanded
the order for the troops to go to
Leavenworth.
"The warden of the ~penitentiary
had no right to keep Alexander there,
as he had been convicted of no crime.
He could do nothing else than to de-
liver him to the sheriff when that in
dividual insisted that it should be
done. But the life of the negro should
have been preserved at all hazards,
and it is to the lasting shame OF the
great state of Kansas that such an III
famous proceeding should have beer
allowed to take place within a few
miles of the capital CITY,"

EADY FOR TRIAL
Cuban Government Signifies Its
Preparedness to Proceed
Against Nicely.

Havan ma, Jan. 15-Mr Lamar, who
is associated with M. Reubens in the
prosecution of the postofice fraud
cases Or the government, says that
with the excpetion OF some evidence
which Reubens will bring from the
United States, especially that which is
containe led in the Lawshe report, the
government is now ready to proceed
with the trial Of G. F. w. Nicely,
charged with embezzlement while
acting as financial agent of the depart
ment Of posts.
Nicely has already been indicted by
the court of first instance, and on his
arrival here, under the extradition
proceedings, he will be imprisoned to
await trial before the audiencia.
Seven judges will sit in the case. The
Spanish law allows an appeal to the
supreme court, but the decision Of the
latter tribunal is final.

coward" said the governor tonight.

WAR OFFICE WILL REINFORCE
KITCHENER.
SITUATION MORE URGENT
Present Forces in Field Unable
to Cope with Willy
Beers.

London, Jan. 15-The government
had decided to send large reinforce
ments to Lord Kitchener and the war
office, in carrying out this decision,
has determined to enlist 5000 yeO-
munry volunteers.
At a meeting held at the wal
office this afternoon this plan and
others for securing more men were
discussed and approved; and it is
understood that the government will in
the course OF a day or two issue a
commurique on the subject.
The casualty list shows that there
has been a sever engagement with a
loss Of six killed, II wounded and five
missing, at Murraysburg, where the
Dutch are said to have been joining
the invaders. M%urraysburg is Ii
miles west of GRAF Reinet.
Indications are not wanting that
the decision of the government to send
rienforcements has not been taken a
moment too soon. Colonel Colville's
mobile column, which has been pur-
suing the Beers, has been obliged to
rest at Greylingstad to erect a block
house, and to cease operations until
reinforced by mounted troops. Cen
eral Pagel has taken his force to Pre-
toria to refit. Many of the men are
suffering from enteric fever. Three
hundred Beers captured a small Brit
ish convoy at Bronkhurst Spruitt,
near Pretoria, but made off after
liberating prisoners.
General Brabant, while addressing
a conference Of mayors at Caretown,
said the authorities were anxious to
keep the wal away from Capetown II
possible, but that the only hope Of do
ing this lay in sending l, 900 men to
the front. He urged that no precau-
ton should be omitted to prevent the
enemy from advancing further south.

The NEXT MOVE
State Department Will Issue
Warrant for Extradition
of Nicely.

Washington, Jan. 1.-the state de-.
partment will next be called upon to
act in the Nicely case.
Under the law the warrant of ex-
tradition must be signed by the secre-
tary of state when he is satisfied of
the sufficiency Of the application.
In view of the elaborate attention
given to the Ease by the judicial
branch it is probable that this will be
accepted as conclusive Of the merits
of the case and that the issuance of
the warrant will be merely a formal
ity when the papers are properly
brought before the department.. 1t is
expected that this will take some
avs, as the supreme court decision
must be forwarded to the New York
courts and proper order made there
for the holding of Nicely.
The department warrant will give
custody of Nicely to William Hintel,
who has been appointed agent of the
military authorities to take the pris
oner to Cuba.

PETTIGREw's OPPOSITION TO
HARLAN'S CONFIRMATION.
SPEAKS Of OTHER CASES
Characterizes McKenna's Appoint
ment and That Under Dis
cussion as Indecent.

Washington, Jan. 15-While the
senate was in executive session today
an effort was made to secure confir-
nation Of the nomination of James s.
Harlan, son of Justice Harlan of the
United States supreme court, 10 be at
torney general for Porto Rico, but ac-
tion was prevented by an objection IF
Senator Pettigrew, Senators Foraker
and Spooner united in an appeal to
Pettigrew to withdraw his objection,
saying that MI. Harlan is an excellent
lawyer and an accomplished gentle
man and would fill the place as accept
ably as any one who could be named.
Pettigrew responded that he had
no doubt Of Harlan's fitness for the
position for which he had been named
and added that he had NJ personal OF.
lection to him. His opposition, he
said, was based on higher grounds.
He then recited the fact Of the nom
inee's relationship to Justice Harlan
and declared that the nomination is
entirely out of place, in view of the
fact that important litigation affect
ing the island to which Harlan is ap-
pointed is now pending before the
court of which his father is a mem
Der. II make no charge against the
supreme court" said Pettigrew, "but
I do say that the appointment of two
sons of members of that court to i'm
portant positions under the admins
tration at this juncture Of affairs in
the supreme court is indecent to say
the least"
He referred in this connection to the
nomination of Justice McKenna' S SOL
to the office of major in sthe army,
saying that in giving him this place
he had been promoted over 118 other
lieutenants and captains. Pettigrew
also commented upon the removal of
Major Harrison, son of the ex-presi-
dent, intimating that this action was
occasioned by the fact that the atti-
tude of Harrison's father Oh the ques-
tion of our relationship to our insular
possessions was not in accord with
the administrations course in those
matters.
Pettigrew said he had no doubt that
Harlan would be confirmed, but he
added that a yea and nay vote would
be necessary 70 that accomplishment
and for that reason it would be neces-
sary to have a quorum present when
the nomination should be acted on.
