CHING ART Gets
BADLY BITTEN
Celestial Youth Did Not
Know the Habits of Amer
ican Bulldogs.

Ching Art and Ching Ling were in
separable until the bulldog arrived.
The brute came out of a yard on Cen
trail avenue and attached himself to the
leg of Ching Art and then Ching Ling
fled.
The Chinese boys attend the Madison
school. They are quite little chaps and
popular with their schoolmates. They
enter in an odd way into the spirit of
the other boys games, and Ching Art
has been amusing himself jeering at a
bulldog that has his abode under a
porch on Central avenue, near Waba-
sha street. Friday the dog got even,
biting Ching Art seriously and soaring
Ching Ling into several Oriental fits.
The infuriated canine, teased into a
rage by the school children, buried its
fangs into the leg of Ching Art, and
only let go when the flesh gave way
and a policeman drove him to shelter.
Ching Art, who is about fifteen years
of age, and nephew of the proprietor
of the Quong, Gin Ling & Co. art store,
on Wabasha street, has been a resident
of the United States but a short time
and was brought over from China
about year ago to be educated. AS
member Of the Madison school he was
an apt pupil, but slow to realize the
anger of an American bulldog, and
when he was warned to keep his dis
tance he failed to give heed

INDIAN LANDS
Government Taking Cogniz-
ance of Agent Scott's
Sassy" Report.

WASHINGTON. D. c., March 21.-
Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones
had conference with President Roose-
velt today regarding the sale of the
Red Lake Indian lands in Minnesota
and the reported declaration of Agent
Scott, of the Leech Lake reservation,
which includes the Red Lake. that he
will advise the Indians not to accept
the amended term of the treaty made
with them by the government. Sena-
tor Nelson has asked for Scott's re-
port.
The original treaty called for the sale
of 256.000 acres of the Red Lake lands
at a fiat price Of $3.50 per acre, but the
law as finally passed provides for the
sale Of the lands at public auction at
not less than 81 per acre and about
$4,000 acres are reserved to the state
for school purposes, for which the In
dams will derive no compensation. The
agent, 1t is said, objects to the passing
Of twenty-five sections of land to the
state without any compensation to the
Indians and to some other features of
the law.

CUBANS CONTINUE
DOING THEIR PART
President Calls Extra Ses-
sion of Senate to Ratify
Treaty.

HAVANA, March 21-President Pal
ma tonight issued a call for an ex-
traordinary session of the senate on
March "a to ratify the reciprocity
treaty as amended by the United States
senate. The reply of Minister Quesada
to President Palmas cablegram last
night inquiring If President Roosevelt
was authorized to join with President
Palma In decreeing an extension Of
time for the ratification of the treaty
was that President Roosevelt was not
authorized to extend the time, and that
the only way to save the treaty was to
secure it's ratification by the Cuban
senate before March 81.
1t is believed that lack Of time will
prevent the document being returned
to Washington for the final signature
and that President Roosevelt can dele
gate United States Minister Squires
to attend the final exchange of signas
lures. 1t is held here that it is unnec-
essary that the United States house of
representatives pass upon the treatP
prior to it's ratification by the Cuban
senate.

Twelve men who went through a
campaign in China and the Philippines
are laid by the heels at Fort Smelling
with the mumps.
They are members Of the field bat
terry garrisoned at the fort. With them
are eight other artillerymen, all the
victims Of disease, and the battery is
more than decimated because there are
but 120 in the outfit.
Yesterday morning they made # g.
dozen with the mumps. Some of the
men stood by their guns, or sat on the
gun carriages, until their chops be-
came so baggy that they wagged and
then they were ordered into retreat at
the hospital.
Mumps are-or is-epidemic in the
artillery quarters. Where the first case
came from is not clear. The theory of
the post surgeon is that some of the
men who went up the mud walls at
lien Tsfn carht the disease riding In
street cars with little school children.
When 1t was once introduced into the
quarters of the men there was no hope
for them They are quartered in the
old post, where the sanitary conditions
are the worst possible. Infection could
not be escaped.
The quarters are small and cramped.
There is no ventilation, and all through
the winter there have been more men
on sick report than there were when
the battery was living in fever infested
swamps on the coast of China.
The fact that it is mumps that has
laid them low makes the detention Of
the men at the hospital something Of a
joke with them. AS yet there have
been no indications of the possibility
of serious consequences and they Joke
each other about their appearance.
The eight men of the battery who
have other troubles than the mumps
are afflicted with the grip in various
forms. 1t promises to be serious with
some of them.
The balance of the members Of the
battery sit in their cramped quarters
and pray for the opening of spring,
which will probably see them removed
from their quarters and housed under
canvas.
The mortality has not been great at
the fort the past winter, but the bat
terry has contributed much more than
its share to the list on sick report ard
the men are becoming infected with the
idea that the post is "hoodooed."

UTAH MINISTERS HAVE
ENOUGH OF MR.. LEITCH
Ask Removal of Man That Brought
Charges Against Senator Smoot.

SALT LAKE, Utah, March 21.-
Twenty of the twenty-five pastors
whose churches are within the jurisdic-
tion of Rev. ]. L. Leitch. superintend-
ent of the Utah mission of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, have united in
protest to Bishop Warren, Of Denver,
against Rev. Leitch, asking for his
removal to some other field. This pro-
test will be sent to the Central Penn
sylvania conference, of which Rev.
Leitch Is a member. Rev. Leitch
is the minister who preferred
the charge of polygamy against SEN
ator Reed Smoot. Those charges, which
did not receive the sanction of the
ministerial alliance, apparently have
no part In the protest, which set forth
that his methods have caused friction
and that his removal would be for the
best interests Of the Methodist church.

DEATH REMOVES
FRANK A. SEYMOUR

and Business Man Sue
cumbs to Pneumonia.

Frank A. Seymour, at one time the
best all-round athlete in Minnesota,
and for several years cashier of the
Merchants National Bank of st. Paul,
died at his apartments nthe Aberdeen
early yesterday morning. For the past
ten days Mr.. Seymour had been Ill,
suffering from grip and pneumonia.
A week ago Saturday, though unable,
he prematurely returned to his office.
Monday he suffered a relapse, and a
day later pneumonia developed, uIti-
mately causing death. For the past
two days Mr.. Seymour's life was
despaired of, and it was only by re-
peated administrations Of oxygen that
his life was prolonged.
Mr.. Seymour was born near Syra-
cuse, N. Y, forty-nine years ago.
When he was still a boy his father,
George M. Seymour, of the Seymour
Chapin company, moved to Saltwater.
At the age OF seventeen, young Sey-
mour entered the Saltwater First Ma
tionaI bank, becoming cashier Of that
institution few years later.

Of age, he was appointed cashier OF
the Merchants National Bank of st.
Paul, which position he held until six
years ago, resigning in 1897 to become
one of the receivers of the defunct
Bank Of Minnesota. About the same
time he was also made senior receiver
Of the Wood Harvester company, and
when that concern was reorganized, a
short time ago, remained identified
with 1t, accepting the position Of re-
ceiver. He was also engaged IN the
general insurance business.
Mr.. Seymour's wife and daughter
were at his bedside when death came,
but his son, Lee Seymour, is at Chey-
enne, Wyo., where he IS employed by
the Union Pacific railroad.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been completed. as the family Is
waiting information regarding the ar
rival of Lee Seymour and Mrs. r. F.
Lemon, sister Of the deceased, who
lives at Leavenworth, Kan. The burial
will probably be Monday afternoon.

Special to The Globe
HIBBING, Mimi, March 21.-The
second day of the legislative tour,
spent wholly on the iron ranges, was
fairly crowded with interesting sight
seeing and even the members of the
party who have spent years in the
great iron country found new food for
study The big train, which was pull
ed solid over the Great Northern, was
divided at Duluth this morning. To
the first or senatorial section the pri-
vate cars of President E. T. Cole, of
the Duluth. Missabe & Northern rail-
way, and DR.. Huelst, of Milwaukee, of
the Iron Range, were attached. The
second section was augmented by the
private cars of President F. E. House
and Supt. Thomas Owens. of the Du-
luth & Iron Range railway shops. The
start from Duluth was made shortly
before o'clock and breakfast was
served at Two Harbors, after which
the legislators visited the greatest ore
docks in the world and the railroad
shops.
The events of the day were visits to
the Chandler and Pioneer mines at
Ely, where a stop of three hours was
made, and the immense open pit Of
the Biwabic mine at Biwabic. The
legislators were enabled not only to
study the formation and popularity Of
the rich ore deposit, but witness the
blasting and stripping operations pre-
paratory to the opening of a new pit
1t was for a majority of the legisla-
tors the first close-range view of the
tremendous resources of the iron
ranges and they will return to ST.
Paul entertaining opinions Of the north
country radically different from those
they brought with them. That the trip
is a good thing for the ranges is be-
yond question. It's effects will be felt
for decade and that many of the sec
tional antagonisms which have for
years existed between the Duluth dele
cation and the legislators from South
ern and Western Minnesota will as a.
direct result Of the trip be wiped out
Nothing that can conduce to the
comfort of the party is left undone

WOMEN TO HAVE
PAID ESCORTS
Duluth Woman's Suggestion
at Dressmakers' Conyen-
tion Adopted.

CHICAGO, March 21-Members of
the National Dressmakers' association
today decided unanimously that male
escorts should be hired to show the
women about town at all future ses-
slons of the association. The innova-
ton was suggested by Mrs. Carolyn
Angford, now of Duluth but formerly
of London, where, she says, dressmak-
ers are in the habit Of renting male
escorts. Manager Fred G. Elms imme-
dlately after the adoption of the sug-
gestion by the women, promised to
have men in readiness when the next
semi annual convention met in Chi
cago, next September. It was during
Nine. Bakers farewell address that a
woman in the front row said:
1 am Mrs. Carolyn Angford. of Du-
luth. l came here to see the city and
attend theaters, but I have been una
BILE to go anywhere because I do not
know the city. London women have
a privilege not accorded to American
women, Notwithstanding their boasted
freedom. That is the privilege of rent
Ing an escort when one is not obtaina-
Bile. know, for I lived in London.
The dressmaker pays for the man. and
sometimes on single outing spends
the savings of a month or longer. If
the man is Of a cheerful disposition
he is hired again and again, and-well,
L am sorry TO say 1t, the affair not In
frequently ends in marriage. I think
some sort of privilege should be ac-
corded to the dressmakers attending
this convention. 1t may cause a little
comment, but if Londoners do it, why
can't we?"
The remarks of Mrs. Angford were
greeted with applause. and other
speakers were soon, on their feet, anx-
ious to give the plan their support. A
few said they thought it would be too
much of a departure from American
etiquette, would cause no end of COM
ment. and that the woman who could
not get an escort without hiring him
was not entitled to one. The propo-
sal was accepted by unanimous vote.
