Sudden Demise of the Amer

Mr.. Harte had been living quietly in

Several months ago, when a false re-
port of his death was circulated IN
America, representative Of the Asso-

Harte then appeared to be perfectly well.
He laughed heartily and quoted Mark

Salt Lake City, Utah, May So The
statement has been made by one of the
managers of the Chicago Great Western
that Mr.. Stickney has not only made up
his mind to build from Siou xCity to Salt

support of the Swifts, the big packers and
a Boston syndicate. He has ambitions
to develop strong transcontinental sys-
TEN, of which the Chicago Great Western
shall be part and it looks as though he
might be able to carry out the plans.
The route has already been agreed upon
and all that remains to be done before
beginning active operations is the settle
ment Of the details relative to financing
the project. In this connection the man
ager says that "Sioux City is on almost
the same parallel with Chicago. BY con-

TRUNK THRASHERS
Customs Inspectors Ordered
to Treat the Public With
More Consideration.

New York, May 6.-Collector of Customs
Stranahan, in. an address to the entire
force Of customs inspectors, who assem-
bled at the barge Office to meet him. has
told the inspectors that transatlantic
voyagers must, in future, be treated with
more consideration.
Difficulties in passing baggage which
have exasperated passengers on incoming
vessels are, he said, to be done away
with and new regulations soon will be
promulgated which will minimize all OF
the evils which have aroused complaint.
The collector reminded the men who
meet steamships and search baggage on
piers that they are servants of the
public, and urged them to perform their
duties in such manner as to merit pub
lie approval.
The customs inspectors, about ESQ in
number had rendered a reception to Col
lector Strapahan, General James S
Clarkson, surveyor, Of the port; George
w, Whitehead, appraiser, and Robert A
sharkey, naval officer. It was the frs
time in thirty years that there had beer
such an affair.

HAS TAMS A
SLIGHT BEE !?
Much Confusion in the Polit-
ical Mind Regarding MIR.
Bixby's Plans.
Feeling il. Washington Now
Is That He Will Lead the
Van SAINT Opposition.

BuiEdi,.g, Warrington.
Washingt on, May 6.-Without having
anything definite to back it UP, sentiment
in the Minnesota colony is crystal@lzlng
towards tho belief that Tams Bixby's
resignation from the Dawes commission
will be preliminary to his active entrance
into Minnesota politics as leading spirit
in the movement against the renomina-
ton of Governor Van SAINT.
This view was given yesterday as one of
the possible reasons for his resignation
1t has more adlnerents to-day than it had
yesterday. Last night the subject was dis
cussed by little knots of Minnesotans here
and there who did not learn of the resig-
nation until late in the day, and from this
clearing house process comes the opinion
just stated.
In 1900 Mr.. Bixby wanted to go home to
AXE an active part in the work of direct
ing the state campaign, but President Nc
Kinley strongly objected and, for while,
it looked as if his permission might not
be given. When he finally consented, it
was with the distinct understanding that
the request was not to be repeated in
future years.
MI. BlXbys friction With the interior
department, according to the theory now
accepted here, came at an opportune time
for the anti-Van SAINT people. James J.
Hill was quick to see the opportunity and,
| either in person or by proxy, he discussed
the question with Bixby in this city, en-
couraging him to resign and, at the same
| time, soliciting his aid in the campaign
and against Van SAINT.
The wing of the Van SAINT opposition
which is not connected with Mr.. Hill also
saw the situation and joined Hill to the
extent Of urging Bixby to go home and
take charge of the opposition movement
Bixby, according to the theory held here,
does not want to be candidate himself,
but in the end this may be necessary.
Everything will depend on how the situa-
ton develops. 1t is no Injustice to Mr.
Btxby to give this theory, which merely
reflects the general opinion in Washing
ton, formed, of course, in advance of any
statement from Mr.. Bixby himself.

CORRUPT MACHINE
FALLING T0PIECES


There is CONSERVATION and distrust In
the Minneapolis police department.
Howard and Edwards, the convicted
"big mitt" men, went before the grand
jury to-day to tell how they have been
paying certain members of the police force
for the privilege of operating in this city.
The "big mitt'' games comprise large
class Of operations ranging from the "yel-
low watch and confidence worker swim
dies to downright robbery. In other
words, specific revelations are promised
showing that the police depar tment, os-
tensibly organized to protect the people of
Minneapolis, has taken pay for protecting
thieves whose victims have not gone
against the game with their eyes open.
For months-at least since last Novem-
berthe conviction has been growing
among those familiar with conditions that
remarkable inability of the police to clean
out the gang Of blacklegs which has in
tested lower town. Present Developments
are full OF promise that the machine based
upon corruption is about to fall for very
rottenness. Now that the thing has
started, there is already noticeable dis
position on the part of some who are un-
der suspicion to scoot for cover. Some
may save themselves by telling what they
know; others will not be asked to tell
what they know, for all is known about
them already 1t is true that all wit
nesses are not REPUTABLE but in some
cases the best of confederation is avail
able and, whether there are indictments
or not, there is bound to be a revulsiou
of feeling which will back up the grand
jury in whatever recommendations it may
offer. .-@.- ~..>.~..r, .z.... .s-

police grist, the grand jury began this
morning on the new line of inquiry which
is leading to most sensational disclosures.
Over two weeks ago certain information
relating to the spoils system developed
under the present police regime, was
placed in the hands Of several of the
grand jurors and they have been quietly
at work ever since preparing for deem
and searching Investigation.
Among the first witnesses this morning
were Billy Edwards and .Charley'
howard, captains Of the 'tbig mitt'' in
dustry. They are ready to make a COM
plete confession as to how their system
was worked, how they were protected by
the authorities, the consideration and the
names OF their protectors.
Ordinarily the "steerers' were paid
commission Of As per cent on all the
money turned in and half of what was left
Went to the police and other members of
the city administration, some of them
very high in rank. The, income of the.
swlndling games operated would vary
from $500 per week up to as high as So, ZOO
per week, SO that the official "rake- Off
would amount to tidy sum, especially as
it was to be divided only among five and
six persons.
Edwards and Howard were in the grand
jury room for long periods and their
stories were told in detail.
Other witnesses in attendance to-day
were Inspectors Chris Norbeck and
Charles Nelson and Jailor AL Needham OF
the Central station. They did not know
why they had been summoned, at least
they said they didn't.
A Broad Investigation
The investigation will cover not only
| the operations of the ''big mitt' gang,
but also the fake auction shops, employ
ment agencies and other like "grafters"
| believed to be protected by the police for
consideration.
! Another line Of Investigation will be
the administrations policy toward houses
of evil repute and particularly as to the
assessments against the keepers on the
alternate months in which they do not
appear in the municipal court.

brough to-day appeared before the mill
tary affairs committee and argued for
favorable action on his amendment to the
military appropriation bill aut horizing the
secretary of war to present medals to all
North Dakota volunteers who were with
Young's scouts in the engagement at Ca
bon Bridge.
Senator Hansbrough quoted at length
from General Lawton's reports to show
that these men were engaged in especially
hazardous service at all times, that they
were often cut off from the base of sup
plies and in hostile territory, and many
times engaged a superior force and per-
| formed brave and rneritorious service on
| two or more occasions, notably at Cabon
Bridge and San Miguel, where Young was
fatally wounded. Senator Hansbrough
quoted from General Lawton's report to
show that these men had been recon-
mended for medals of honor, and asked
that Justice be done them by the adoption
of this amendment.

DANGER OF
Il
DIVISION
The Presidents Plan of Fore
ing the Hand of Congress
Is Radical.
The Insurgents in the House
Likely to Make Some
Trouble for Him.

From, TIE Jonr,sa1 Bwreou, Room rs, Posi-
Building, Washsngsoa.
Washington, May 6.-In his attempt to
force tho hand of congress by threats OF
an extra session, Mr.. Roosevelt has put
himself in direct opposition to the solid
republican delegations of several states,
notably Minnesota Michigan and Cali
fornia, and will be pitted against the
forty members Of the house who did not
hesitate to combine with the democratic
minority to overthrow the speaker.
Members who are already on record will
not be persuaded lightly to change their
votes. The issue has already become
vital in many congressional districts and
it is predicted by members from Illinois,
Minnesota and Michigan that the party
will he seriously divided if Mr.. Roose-
Welt persists in forcing the matter. 1t is
not a light task he has undertaken, and
influential men in the party are doing
their best to dissuade him.
The president has stated that congress
must pass the Cuban, reciprocity and
Philippine bills or he will call them back
in extra session. Backing him up, the
senate steering committee has announced
June IS as a date for adjournment. The
leaders admit that the date is tentative,
limit toward which to work rather than
anything hard and fixed. They say they
will try to get through with the Philip
pine bill by the first of June, and dispose
of the Cuban bill in the next two weeks.
In order to give all a chance to talk, the
sessions will commence earlier each day,
and, if necessary, night sessions will be
held.
But this program does not take account
of democrats Or the insurgent republicans.
The democrats say frankly that they do
not intend to be bound by any plan Of the
republican steering committee. Ihey
have determined to make the Philippines
party issue and to secure from it ma
terial for the con gressional canvasses.
They think they have got good start
on the Philippine investigation and the
Cuban inquiry, and they will keep them
up all summer if the results justify.
But more serious than the democratic
opposition,is that of the beet sugar repuo-
licans in the house and senate who resent
the announced intention Of president
Roosevelt to drive them to compliance by
stress of hot weather and the forsaklng
of all pleasant summer plans. 1t IS true
that Mr.. Mckinley did secure the spoon
err amendment and the Plat resolutions
my similar methods a year ago. But MI.
Mckinley was more tactful and persua-
sive than Roosevelt, and the opposition
had not gone to the lengths of the pres
ent revolt against party leaders In the
house and senate.

BIXBY SAYS NOT

for Governor.

Denies That He'll Be n Candidate
for Governor.
Tams .Biby says there is nothing in the
story that he resigned and came home to
run for governor. Evidently he refused
to be made cats paw for the interests
opposed to Van SAINT. Bixby has ambi-
lions, and Is not anxious to ruin his
prospects by lending a forlorn hope.
The deep laid schemes of the insurgents
was to lead Bixby out into the open as a
candidate, and start the fight. Later they
would bring Collins in and when the mix
up was general, they would prevail on
Dunn to come out on the theory that Van
SAINT was beaten, and he was under no
further obligations. ....a .. =.
The essential part of this scheme was
the consent of Messrs. Bixby, Collins and
Dunn. This they have failed to get. All
the gentlemen realize that to oppose Van
SAINT would be to incur the odium of be-
ing a merger candidate" and furnish
the democrats with the choicest campaign
material 1t would be suicidal to the
candidate and the party. Auditor Dunn
and Judge Collins both expressed them
selves to-day as out of sympathy with a
fight against Van SAINT.

The effect on all stocks was marked,
there being a great slump in number of

The future of the field is still regarded
as bright, as oil exists in abundance, but
artificial means must be counted upon to
remove it, instead of natural forces.
