| day. The testimony for the govern
ment having been taken in New York,

| ming of the evidence for the defendants.
The Northern Securities company

leging breach of promise and seeking
to. recover $4,000 damages.
The news of this action will not be
entirely a surprise to the public for
the reason that it had been rumored
for some time past that Mrs. Phelps
contemplated the suit. The papers
were seesed on Oct. by Attorney
Taylor, for the plaintiff, at Bismarck,
N. D., where Mr.. Patterson has just
started a new wholesale grocery house.
Attorney Pau, for the defense, has
been in Bismarck for several days past
consulting Mr.. Patterson. 1t is ex-
pected that on his return a move will
be made to set aside the service made
by Attorney Taylor on the ground Of
illegality, it being held that service
upon a resident Of Minnesota in anoth-
er state is void.
Mrs. Phelps, the plaintiff, is a hand
some lady, refined and highly cultivat-
ed, with a host of friends. She has
been widow a number of years. Mr..
Patterson went to California last De-
cember to spend the winter While at
Los Angeles he fell in love and was
married early in the spring to charm
ing widow of Los Angeles, and both
are now at Bismarck.
MrPatterson is we'll known through
out the Northwest. He is at the head
of the largest wholesale grocery house
in Southern Minnesota, and director
of the National Citizens bank, and is
considered very wealthy.

JAMES J. HILLS TESTIMONY.
Tells of the Building Up of the Great
Northwest,

The hearing was begun at II o'clock,
when James J. HILL president of the
Great Northern railway, took the stand
as a witness on behalf of the Defend
ants. The direct examination, conduct
ed by Attorney George B. Young, elicit
ed this testimony:
Q. AS president Of the Manitoba COM
pany and the Great Northern, will you
state whether you have been acquainted
with the operation and the policy of those
companies, and to what extent you have
been concerned in framing and carrying
out the policy of the road. A. The gen.
eral business of the company for the first
years was mainly left in my hands. The
directors, almost entirely, were non-resi-
dents and later lived abroad. The pol
Icy of the company and the extension OF
its lines and the general methods were
sponsibility was quite heavy. The general
policy of the Great Northern company has
been largely on the lines, / might say al
most entirely on the lines recommended
by me- At the present time we have moro
of our directors in the West, and they
visit the road more frequently than was
the case formerly, and are better able to
advise than our former directors.
Q. What was the mileage of the Man
itoba company when organized in 1873?
A. About 400 miles l think when our
party myself and asSociateS) bought the
bonds, they had about $50 miles, and we
completed 125 or something of that kind,
carried it over 500 miles, at the time OF
the organization; but under the direction
of the United States court we had been
working for a year prior to that. Those
Q. At what time did the Manitoba
company begin the construction Of its
road from Minot westerly toward the
Pacific coast? A. In the spring of 1887.
During the year 1887 the line was extend

Wyndham's replies, though given in a
conciliatory tone, evoked storms of de-
risive cries, mingled with Kisses, and
the speaker was kept busy suppressing
demonstrations which threatened dis
order.
William O'Brien moved the adjourn,
ment of the house in order to discuss
questions arising from the case of
former Police Sergeant Sullivan, now
in America, who is alleged to have OBJ
tanned the conviction of innocent per-
sons through perjury. The debate on
this motion came up this evening.
The Liberal leader, Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, cordially Joined the
Irish in supporting their demand that
the government fix day to discuss the
status of Ireland, but he declined to
make the Liberal opposition responsible
for the demand, which, he said, was
made by the constitutional representa-
tives of Ireland and in regard to a
purely Irish question.
Premier Balfour retorted that Sir
Henry's doctrine seemed wholly sep
aratist. He would not admit that the
government of Ireland was a purely
Irish question and until the ambiguous
attitude of the Liberal leader was
cleared up, he declined to say if the
government would grant a day for the
discussion of the state of Ireland.
Charged by O'Brien.
The galleries were crowded tonight
in anticipation of a sensational debate
on William O'Brien's motion.
In outlining the Sullivan matter Mr..
O'Brien declared that Patrick Nolan
one of the governments witnesses in a
certain prosecution in Dublin and Sill
go, although he swore at one trial that
a letter purporting to have been writ
ten by Mr.. MacHale, president of the
United Revolutionary league, arrang-
ing for a murderous outrage, was In
Sullivan's handwriting, yet afterWard
avowed that he had been employed to
shield Sullivan from justice by dis
crediting the evidence of other wit
nesses, and that Sullivan was guilty of
forgeries.
Describing the Sligo trial as an eye
witness, Mr.. O'Brien declared that a
more dishonest or revolving trial had
never been held. He said the Irish
members feared that Dublin castle was
trying to hush the Sullivan matter up,
but that it was a case of greater gray
ity than that of Sergeant Sheridan, be-
cause the plot Sullivan had organized
against the Irish league was of the
same character as the Pigott forgeries
against Parnell. Mr.. O'Brien charged
that the government had packed the
jury to acquit Sullivan and had then
spent an enormous sum to shelter him
from justice.
"The greater the scoundrel in the
Irish constabulary," said the speaker.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-From political
power, wealth and the ranks of the
aristocracy in England and Canada to
a pauper's grave, such will probably
be the end of the career of Isaac Phil
lips. He was once a we'll known Eng
lish statesman, the scion of an old
family of Carlisle, England.
Today, tired and weary Of battling
against life Of poverty, he died in
a police ambulance while being con-
veyed to a hospital. The body now lies
on a slab at the county morgue, and
unless money is obtained to defray the
funeral expenses, the body will prob
ably be buried at public expense.

BIG PURSES AGAIN
State Fair Managers Will Continue
the $1,000 Events.
BIG STAKES MEAN GOOD RACES
Twin City Business Men Think Tha,
Events Like These Are Worthy
of Support.

At a recent meeting of the executive
committee Of the board of managers of
the state agricultural society it was de-
cided to make the great $4,000 purse races
again a feature of the fair this year.
These races have become immensely pop
ular. The plan has been to have a purse
OF $1,000 guaranteed by St. Paul business
men, hung up on St. Paul day for a fast
pacing race; and a similar purse from
Minneapolis for trotting race on Min
neapolis day. The business men Of both
cities have taken much interest in the
plan and have cheerfully guaranteed the
purse each year for several years past.
Inc result has been that the big races
nave attracted many entries of fine horses
and on each day a large field has started.
so plentiful have been the entries that
me Suafantors have found the races very
inexpensive. AS drawing card for the
falr these races are OF much benefit. 1t
is SAFE to say that no feature of the fair
mas been more popular with the people.
everybody knows now that the Minnesota
state fair faces are carried on fairly and
under clean surroundings and people en-
JOY The sport when they can see it under
such conditions.
Secretary E. w. Randall of the state
agricultural society, left last night for
Kansas City where be will look after the
interests Of the state fair at the meetings
there this week. He was joined en- route
by President Cosgrove. The officials ex-
pect to return later in the week with
some good reports of the cattle show
prospects.
A Manufacturers' Building.
This evening committees of the Mime
apolis and st. Paul Commercial clubs will
meet state fair officials at an informal
supper ar the rooms OF the St. Paul club
to talk over the possibilities Of manu-
factu1ers' building at the fair grounds.
This movement originated in st. Paul. 1t
is the idea to erect building on the
grounds, supplied with power and shaft
ing and to have working exhibits dis
played during fair week. There are many
practical difficulties in the way of the
proposition but the subject will be we'll
threShed over tonight. One Of the most
formidable difficulties is the lack of money
to build the structure wanted.

He Is Still Doing Missionary Work
for Asphalt.

Charles NJ. Carpenter, western agent of

penter is an old Minneapolitan and had a
hand in introducing asphalt pavement to
Minneapolis, the Park avenue strip hay
ing been laid under Mr.. Carpenters su-
pervisiOn.
Mr.. Carpenter says the increase in
asphalt pavement in the cities and large
towns of the country is phenomenal. Since
the introduction of asphalt in Washing.
ton, D. c., in 1876, more than 10000, 900
yards have been spread in the United
States. In fact the business of the asphalt
companies has almost doubled within the
last five years. The outlook for 1902 is
brighter than ever before, due, Mr.. Car
penter says, to the thorough establish
ment OF asphalt as the best pavement and
to the general prosperity of the country.
