THE AGENTS OF THE PEOPLE.

Mr.. Frank Z. Tucker, of NeilsviIle,
Wisconsin, one Of the self constituted
guardians of the people, an employe
of the Attorney Generals Office, and
secretary of the state central COM
mittee, invaded Grant county the past
week for the purpose of securing a
local candidate for congress, who
could carry that county and become
a cats paw FOR the ring who are at
tempting to dominate the third dis
trict affairs. Mr.. Tucker did not have
silently moved from there to Fenni-
more, where he was met by a few in
vited guests and passed the usual re-
solution for mass meeting. The
farmers and business men of the
third district will hail Mr. fuckers
advent with joy. They have long
felt the need of some brilliant out
side man to come in and run their
affairs, and it will not be surprising
if they soon express, in some formal
way, their thanks to Attorney Gen
eral Sturdevant for permitting his
assistant to come into the district
and show it's benighted citizens the
error of their ways. All hail Mr..
Tucker If Mr.. Tucker fails to &C
complish his purpose in Grant
county, he might send over to Rich
land and have Game Warden Brown
come down and assist Game Warden
Storrs in bringing about the desired re-
suits. Game Warden Browns work
has been completed in Richland
county so far as carrying his county
against Mr.. Babcock is concerned,
and he could easily take few days
off and come over and help his
brethren in Grant.
It is a cheering sign of the times
that the third district is not to be
neglected by gentlemen who reside
in other portions of the state. It
gives the third district republican
assurance that his course of action
will be marked out for him and all
he will have to do is to go ahead and
perform the bidding of these non
resident patriots.

THREE POWERS TO
ENTER PROTEST

London, April 25.-The Associated
Press learns that there is in contem-
plation forcible joint protest on the
part of Great Britain, the United
States and Japan against the Russian
demands in the matter of sovereignty
of Manchuria.
Sir Ernest Satow, British minister
to China. in dispatch to the foreign
office, confirms the synopsis of the
note addressed to China by NJ. Plan
con, Russian charge d'affaires to Pc
kin. Further official advices regard
ing the intentions OF the Chinese gov
crnment and explanations from st. Pc
tersburg are awaited anxiously. Mean
time the British government is NOT
taking active measures. although For
eign Secretary Landsdowne intends to
circulate pour parleurs looking to
joint action from Washington, Lon
don and Toxic, provided further tnfor-
nation sustains the present abstract
of the Russian demands.
The foreign office states that II the
Chinese government correctly repre-
sents Russia's claims, these claims
constitute absolute breach of all the
undertakings given in connection with
Manchuria. and utterly nbrogate the
principles of the open door. terrific
rial division and International comfy,
to which the British government con-
stantly and publicly has committed it.
self. 1t is added that in these prin-
ciples Great Britain has always acted
with the United States, and it is pre-
sumed that similar feelings exist at
Washington. Nothing, however. Is
definitely known. as with the excep-
ton of the British minister to China
no British ambassador has yet re-
ported.
Russia's explanation may throw
different light on her demands. al
though in official circles here there is
frank expression of the belief that
Russia has no intention of eyacuating
Manchuria, and that she hopes, after
demanding the maximum. to secure
compromise.

but will urge General Bell to remain at
the head of the state military estab-

These are the statements of a high
officer of the guard. He adds that the
general will. unless he changes his
mind very soon. refuse TO remain in
his present position. and will retire
from public life for the time being, to
accept one of several good offers he
has received from mining companies.

May 9Th as the date on which their

SUPREME COURT
DECLINES CASE

Denver. April 25.-In the suit OF The
News-Times Publishing Company VS..
State Auditor Holmberg and State
Treasurer Newton, to test the validity
of the long appropriation bill. the Su-
preme Court yesterday declined to take
original jurisdiction.
The case was filed at once in the Dis
trict Court.
The reason for the refusal of the Su-
preme Court is that the attorney gem
eral cannot admit the facts in COM
plant, which would have the effect OF
declaring the law unconstitutional. and
that 1t would probably be necessary to
take proof The court would have to
call up clerks and others. providing 1t
determined that the facts as pleaded
we're sufficient to declare the law in
valid.
In stating the decision of the court,
Chief Justice Campbell said:
This will not occasion a very great
delay. and may help to facilitate mat
tiers, for IL some questions of fact were
raised after the case was started. the
whole thing would have to be gone
over again"
As the result OF the decision OF the
Supreme Court Attorney Hawkins yes
terday afternoon filed n complaint in
the District Court in which the same
allegations as those contained in the
complaint fled in the Supreme Court
were set forth. The title of the case
is The News-Times Publishing Com
pany and others similarly situated VS..
John A. Holmberg. auditor of state.
and Whitney Newton. state treasurer.
An injunction is prayed for enjoin-
ing the defendants from auditing and
cashing the warrants issued against
the long appropriation. illegally
passed by the Legislature"
THE suit brought in the District
Court is practically the same as was
brought before the Supreme Court, !"
said Attorney H. N. Hawkins yester-
day. "Thc Supreme Court, in denying
the application for original jurisdic-
ton stated that the case would prob
ably be taken up promptly by the Dis
trict Court. and that 1t would get into
the Supreme Court almost as quickly
as though original jurisdiction had
been taken. The matter will be pushed
as speedily as possible"

was not formed by the river through a

Discovery Of the unusual case was
made as the result OF complaint
from a man who lives in one OF the
houses on the land. An effort was
made to eject him. He ascertained
that the land is the property of the
state and rent could not be collected
by the company. Then he notified the
state land Office OF the situation.
Appraiser Smith obtained the facts

one that is liable to cause a long legal

A number of years later the state

dry and virtually created more than

was squatsed upon and later was
