SENSATION AT MINNEAPOLIS.
startling Developments In Police
Bribery Cases-Mayor Ames
is Indicted.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 18.-Sen-
stations came thick and fast in the POI
lice bribery cases Tuesday morning.
When it came time to open the trial
of Christopher Norbeck, detective, for
bribery, W.. w. Erwin, his attorney,
arose and confessed that he did not
know the whereabout of his client.
He had an appointment with Nor
beck Monday night, but the accused
had not kept it. Nor had he called at
the attorneys Office Tuesday morn
ing, as had been his custom since the
trial began. The disappearance of
the accused caused great excitement
and a bench warrant will be issued
for him. Since the conviction OF
Gardner, special officer. and the COM
mitment of Detective Harvey for per-
jury, Norbeck has been very despond-
ent and has threatened suicide. His
bail bono for $4,000 was signed by r.
j. Hill and Brando Sodini. Mrs. Nor
beck told a reporter hat her hus-
band had left home with another man
at eight o'clock Monday night, and
she a not seen him since.
Another sensation developed when
it became known that Albert A. Ames,
mayor of Minneapolis, had been in
dicted by the grand jury for offering
a bride. The charge is that the
mayor endeavored to have his secre-
tary, Thomas R. Brown, appointed
sheriff by the county commissioners,
when it became evident that Philip
Megaarden would be removed from
the office by the governor for mis-
f%easance. In attempting to carry out
this plan, he is alleged to nave of
fered to so arrange matters hat the
$50, 900 annual income of the sheriff's
Office should be divided equally be-
tween Brown and the three county
commissioners who were to vote for
him, forming a majority of the
board. The evidence to this effect
was given before the grand jury by
County Commissioners NJ. w. Nash
and Ed Sweet.
Mayor Ames came into court with
his attorneys at about three o'clock
and listened to the reading of the in
dictment charging him with offer
ing a bride to E. P. Sweet, county
commissioner. He was given until
Monday to plead, and his bail was
fixed at $4,000. This was furnished by
Thomas Lowry, and Will Boutell. a
furniture merchant. The bondsmen of
Norbeck raised their offer of reward
for his apprehension to $1,000. May
or Ames declares that he will dis
charge Norbeck from the police force
and direct the department to bend
every effort to his capture.
DR.. Ames has been four times mayor
Of Minneapolis, having been elected
thrice as a democrat and again in
November, 1902, after having been out
of office for some years, as a republic
an. He is a veteran of the civil war,
in which he served as surgeon. and is
a G. A. R. man.

PLOT AGAINST KING.
Story of Conspiracy to Assassinate
Edward VII. Lacks Omcial
Confirmation.

London, June 1S.-A sensational
story is current in London of the dis
covery of a plot to assassinate King
Edward. This story has created on
siderable discussion in newspaper and
other circles, but it is lacking in any
thing like official confirmation. Ac-
cording to the current report King Ed
wards sudden illness at Aldershot was
not due to a cold, but was merely an
excuse for Withdrawing his majesty
from public functions owing to the dis
covery by Scotland Yard of a plot
against his life. The principals in this
plot have not yet been arrested. 1t is
cited in confirmation of this story that
King Edwards recovery when he wa
ensconced at Windsor castle was as
complete and speedy as his attack had
been sudden.
On the other hand, it must be point
ed out that if his majesty's illness wa
merely diplomatic, the officials GER
tainly took a great deal of trouble in
keeping up the fiction. Sir Francis
Laking, physician in ordinary to the
king, was summoned by telegraph to
Aldershot; his prescriptions were
hurriedly filled, and everything about
the kings apartments Indicated the
genuine nature of his illness. Further
more. King Edwards journey from AL
dershot to Windsor in his motor a
and his subsequent drive Tuesday in
Windsor park do not seem to indicate
any fear of a further attack upon his
person.
At Scotland Yard the utmost reti-
cence was maintained concerning these
rumors. 1t was noticeable, however,
that the chief inspectors who usually
return home at night were all on duty
there, and while they refused to see
newspaper reporters until morning
they declined either to deny or confirm
the rumor.

London, Jan. 1.-The Reuters Tele gram company received the following dispatch from Amsterdam:
 According to trustworthy informa- ton. Dr. Kuyper, the Dutch premier recently intinated to the Boer dele gates the desirability, in view of Lord Rosebery's speech at Chesterfield, of their giving some intination % the British government of the basis on which they would entertain peace nego- tiations.

CONFEDERATE $2O BILL
It Did a Short Stunt Wednesday as
 Legal Tender.

Artificial life was injected into the, dry bones of q Confederate s2O bill day or two ago, and for about fifteen minutes it took on it's old-time splen- dor and did business as legal tender. But the experience was for the bill too sweet to last, and it couldn't change hands fast enough to get out of sight before the police caught up with it.
 MT. E. Tn. Bettex, the agent of the J. l.. Blank Coffee Co, of St. Louis, who came here not long ago, on Wed- nesday stopped at the store of Sam Donofrio on East Washington Street. and made small purchase of the young lady clerk. In payment he ten dered a s20 bill. The young lady took it, and finding she could~not change it, left MT. BetteX in charge of the store while she went across the street to the Russell grocery store. MT. Russell could not change the bill and it was passed up to C. l.. Lauver, the expfessman. who happened to be there with his wagon. MT. Lauver said Certainly" and counted out the money.
 After making the change MT. Lauver took a more careful look at his newly acquired bill and discovered that it had been issued by the Confederate States Of America. He called to the young lady, who had not yet reached the store. and when she returned he told her that he was not posted in the late quotations on confederate money, though he knew it was quite valuable for souvenirs. However, he did not want to start a curio store, and would like very much to have his small change back again.
 He got it-of course. and in a few min utes it was again in the hands of MT. Rettex. Tine latter seemed to be the most surprised man in the world, and still says he cannot understand the situation. as he knows the bill was a good one when he rendered it. On the other hand. the young lady did not lay it down till she gave it to ldr. Lau- ver and while it was in his possession it was never out of sight.
 According to the Los Angeles papers. a similar incident occurred in that city recently in which a confederate bill was disposed of for currency of q more recent origin.

A GERMAN DUEL
 THE AGGRIEvED MAN
Was Fatally Injured in an Affair of
 Honor.

Berlin. Jan. 17.-Fresh material for the dueling controversy has been af- forded by the won Bennigsen-Falker- hagen meeting in Emperor Williams hunting park at Springe. near Hanover. yesterday. in which von Bennigsen, the local governor of Springe, was prob ably fatally wounded by Falkenh2gen, who is a large lessee of the crown lands.
 The affair had reference to the wife of Governor von BcnniGsen. Several gentlemen of high position in the town of SprinSe. having decided at the club that the governor ought to be in formed of the gossip concerning his wife, in which they considered there was ample grounds for a duel, and they presented the matter to von Ben niSsen, who challenged Falkenhagen. The meeting was arranged and Falken- hagen fired at the count of one" Vcn Bennigsen feil without firing once at his adversary. The governors aged father, Rudolph von Bennigsen, one of the founders of the national liberal party and long noted as . leader in the reichstag. arrived on the field soon after, accompanied by his second son, who is governor of German New Guinea. and bore the wounded man away.

Within Two Hours Ride.

It is said that fully two-thirds Of the
visitors TO a worlds fair are people who
live within two hours ride by rail. and
can return 20 their homes every night.
The Columbian Exposition in 1893 had
the advantage OF a Chicago population
OF ], COS, $50, according to the census OF
80. The census OF 1900 gives St Louis
575. 238. only about 1000 more than
half as much, but, counting IN the near
by population within two hours ride
by rail, much OF the disparity in favor
OF the Columbian is wiped out. Lake
Michigan deprives Chicago OF any near
by population on the east side.
Missouri and the cluster of seven
States and one Territory adjoining her
border, contained in 1900 an aggregate
population of 1885. 708, which IS nearly
1000 900 more than the population OF
the entire Union in 1910. They have
thirteen cities whose aggregate popuIa-
ton in 1900 was 5.2S3.673. the thirteen
being listed among the largest 100 cities
in the Union. The same cluster has
145 minor cities Of less than 20 geo and
more than 5000 inhabitants, their pop
ulation averaging 1I,739. IN 1890 it had
53,lT4 miles Of railway.

ASK FOR RBqIRBM ENT
Not Likely to Remain in the
Navy Much Longer.
Cause Laid TO Quarrel-Friendship
With Rear Admiral Higginson
Broken After Many Years

Among certain Of Rear Admiral
Crowninshield's friends the opinion pre-
walls that he will ask for retirement be-
fore the European squadron joins the
feet which IS to maneuvei under com
nland Of Admiral Dewey IN the Car
ibbean Sea this winter. Rear Admiral
CrowninshEeld is eligible for retirement
under the personnel act, having served
for over forty years and having rem
dered service in the navy during the
civil war
Reasons which actuate Fsar Admiral
Crowninshield are said 10 grow out OF
the breaking Of the friendship Of life
time between himself and Rear Admiral
Francis Higginson, chief
Of the North Atlantic squadron. This
Is understood to have occurred just be-
fore Rear Admiral CrOwninshield took
command OF the European station.
In the coming Caribbean maneuvers
Rear Admiral Higginson VIII probably
be second IN command Of the combined
feet. and he would command a portion
Of the combinet feet, Including the Eu-
ropeau squadron with Rear Admiral
Crowufnshieid, who is Rear Admiral Hig-
ginson's junior IN command. 1t is said
the prospect Of possible service under
command Of Rear Admiral Higginson is
so distastefuI 20 Rear Admiral Crownin-
shield that he prefers retirement.
That the friendly relations between
the two officers have come 20 an end is
known 10 few, as the officers have not
recently been thrown together. The
causes leading up to the quarrel are
known TO even fewer associates Of the
men.
The Navy Department has never re-
cetved from Rear Admiral CrowninshieId
any intimation of a desire to retire. The
matter has progressed no further than
