the white house, sought out an Ameri-
can acquaintance the same evening in
order to relate his perplexities and
seek guidance. In broken English and
with facial expressions betokening
great earnestness, he said that as he
had come from the presence of the
sentative of one of the Washington
newspapers, had asked him to tell
what he had said to the president ;:nd
what the president had said in reply.
The Chinese, says the Youths Com
panion, did not know what American
custom he was encountering, and re-
turned to consult the presidents secre-
tary, Mr.. Cortelyou. He was advised
to regard what had been said as pri-
vate conversation, and accordingly de-
clined to give the reporter any infor-
nation.
But that evening the oriental exc
planned his feelings in this way:
81 understand that the newspapers
are very powerful in this country; the
stout gentleman may perhaps injure
my cause if offend him. He seems to
want to know all that was said, and I
am troubled about deciding whether
to favor him or to take Mr.. Cortelyou's
advice"
He was surprised to learn that no
one is obliged in America to tell things
to the newspapers against ones in.
clination.
On leaving the white house, every
important visitor is questioned as to
the nature of his business, and until
recently even the cabinet officers
themselves were subjected, as they
walked down the stairs and out of the
door, to these interrogatories. Now
the presidents secretary prepdres "a
statement at the close of each cabinet
meeting, in which he gives such infor-
nation as to the proceedings as is
proper.

Will Test the Law.

WILL TEST THE LAW.
Ever since the passage of the nox-
ious week law in this state there has
been question as to whether it was
constitutional or not. In some parts
of the state it has been enforced and
in others it has not been enforced and
in still other portions there has been
no attempt to enforce it. The condi-
tions in many places at the present
time are such that something must be
done in the premises, and for this
reason States Attorney j. d. Wine
man of Grand Forks county, will
shortly institute suit to test the

In 1898 the British forces under Sir
John Keane interfered, and the trouble
eliminated in the terrible revolt of
1s41. In 1878 Great Britain declared
war on Afghanistan, and the end of
the tragical business was brought
about by the accession of the late
ameer and the maintenance of his rule

to be a more tractable man. than his
father, fact which has made his ac-
cession acceptable to the two Euro
pean powers most nearly concerned.

pocKETs EoR THE Nav YEAR
Judges Of the District Court Probably
Viii Retain Their Present
Assignments.

II is assumed thai Judge Fawcett will re-
turn from his Oregon mines today and
that the seven judges Of the district court
will get together Thursday morning to as
sign the dockets for the year 1903. Beyond
some discussion Of the propriety Of having
one less equity Judge and one more law
judge the apportionment has been little dis
cussed and the general impression seems to
be that the lineup will remain as 1t is, with
Judge Baxter in the criminal court, Judges
Fawcett, Slabaugh and Estelle in the other
law courts and Judges Read, Day and Dick
inson in the equity courts. Judge Read
stated this morning that equity work was
we'll caught up. but that he did not know Of
any common intent to decrease the equity
force to strengthen numerically the law
corps.
There has been discussion OF a plan TO
more rigidly exclude from inside the rail-
ing all those persons not interested in the
case being tried. 1t is complained that
lawyers and more particularly court spec
tators have acquired the habit of usurping
chairs and space at the counsel tables to
the inconvenience Of those who should be
there, and the propriety OF more stringent
regulations is generally conceded, but the
judges seem Inclined to the opinion that
each should regulate such matters in his
court to suit himself and the bench not
make a special rule for all.

ATTORNEY IN A COLLISION
Runs Up Against wall of Gymnasium
Room and Gets Bad
Eye,

The south wall Of the Young Mems Chris
tian association gymnasium room sued out
an attachment covering the entire right
eye Of James H. Adams. assistant city
attorney, Monday, and Mr.. Adams was
spending yesterday at his home for reasons
which anybody who jas ever been similarly
~dishgured will readily understand.
' The attorney had Just started forclble
entry and detainer proceedings against his
opponent in a game OF indoor base ball,
which is his noon exercise, when the de-
PENDANT took a change Of venue and per-
mitted Adams to go on to a colliding point.
He collided. He collided good and plenty.
Old settlers say there never has been a
better piece of colliding done in the his
tory of the state. Ten minutes later Mr..
Adams eye was radiantly rosy. IN hour
later IL was biliously blue. Yesterday
Il was deliriously and dlstressingly black.
Mr.. Adams declined to make prediction as
TO What 1t will lOok like this morning.

TEN MEN FOR EACH PLACE
Republican senatOrsa and Representa-
tives of Douglas County Con-
slider Patronage.

The republican senators and representa-
tives from Douglas county held a meeting
Monday night at the office OF M. A. Hall.
There were present a majority Of the mem
bers from the city and the time was
chiefly taken up with a consideration OF the
distribution OF patronage. II developed
that there were about forty applicants for
each position and the applicants are not
all satisfactory to all Of the members.
The process Of elimination began by the
presentation Of the names to be submitted
by each member. As these names were
presented other members offered objection
to appointment, giving reasons, with the
result that when the last name was read
the list had dwindled until there were only
about ten applicants for each office.
At this point It was suggested by one
member that a number OF places which
have heretofore been filled by the members
from Douglas county could be abolished.
Several favored the plan, but the places
to be abolished could not be settled upon
so easily. 1t was said that no appoint
ments were finally decided upon, but that
the matter was passed to a future meeting.
w. T. Nelson, who had so far forgotten
himself as to express an opinion not CEN
sored by the majority OF the delegation as
to the report from Central City regarding
the position of the Douglas county delega-
sion on the speakership, was brought upon
the floor and given some advice upon the
evil results which would follow his failure
to observe the rule of the delegation in
regard 10 silence upon subjects which may
be suggested by reporters or others not
entitled under the rule to know what Is
going on. 10 +

CLERKS WANT MORE WAGES
Railroad Employees object 60 Panic
Pay for Prosperous
Times.

Some Of the clerks in the railroad head
quarters OF Omaha are anxious to Join In
the movement for higher wages which has
swept into the clerical departments Of the
Santa Fe and Rock Island and other roads.
No positive steps have yet been taken by
Omaha clerks toward presenting demands,
but IL has been quietly rumored that II a
leader Of sufficient nerve could be found
matters might reach q head. Pressure has
been brought to bear upon som Of the
Omaha clerks by clerks in other cities who
have actually formed a systematic plan for
demanding a raise in their pay. The move
ment centers in Chicago. It is merely an
extension of the general movement among
the rainmen throughout the country for
more pay, based upon the broad proposition
that wages are not commensurate with the
cost Of living. the latter having materially
advanced while the former remains sta
tionary.
Some inquiry has been made as to the
standard Of wages here and Il is learned
that while there has been no actual de-
cline for ZONE time, there has been no
advancement Of a general nature. The
clerks complain, at least a few OF them
who have, expressed themselves, that they
need more money In view OF the cost OF
living, which has Increased so tremendously
'in the past few years. When President
Burt became president OF the Union Pa
eihc. 1t is said, there was a general cut in
clerks hire, but there has been no appre-
ciable reductions since. This cut came
during what commonly has been called the
panic, however, and the clerks claim that
in times of such unprecedented prosperity
as this, they ought not have to work for
manic WaRes.
