LOUIS SUES PAYNE
AND Mr.. BRISTOV
Discharged Postal Official Asks
Damages for Publication
of Bristow Report.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. s.
Michael W. Louis, formerly superin-
tendent of the division of supplies in
the postoffice department, who was re-
moved Oct. 81 last as a result of the
postal investigation, today entered. a
suit for $4,000 damages against Jo-
seph Bristow, fourth assistant post
master general; Henry c. Payne, post
master general, and the Washington
Post Newspaper company.
The basis of the charge is an ex-
tract from the report of Gen. Bristow
dealing with the award of contracts on
the division of which Louis was at the
head for ink, ink pads, ETC., at alleged
excessive prices, etc. The defendants
are charged with having written and
published the extract of the report re-
ferred to with the intent to injure the
plaintiff in his good name.
Suits of like character for similar
amounts also were brought against
the postmaster general, Mr.. Bristow,
and the Evening Star; and against the
postmaster general, Mr.. Bristow and
the washington Times.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 8.-The
feature of the Jackson day banquet
given by the Duckworth club here to-
night was the address of Judge Judson
Harmon, attorney general under the
Cleveland administration and promi-
nently mentioned as candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
presidency. Among the other speakers
was NJ. R. ingalls,, president Of the Big
Four railroad. Two hundred guests
were present.
Judge Harmon did not forecast any
future policy or new departure for his
party, but outlined the conditions un-
der the Republican administration of
Harrison that confronted the last Dem
ocratic administration and brought out
many interesting circumstances that
preceded the hard times ten years
ago. He said:
OF late years the Republican politicians
have set up the claim that it is their man
agement of public affairs which makes
good times, and so they must be kept in
control If good times are to continue. This
new humbug worked nicely for while.
But year ago. IN spite of the success
of the Republicans in the congressional
election, some of the clouds and rain
bows which had been capitalized and
put off on the people began to vanish.

King Edward Brings Conference About in London
Whose Result Points to Anything but Peace.

TOXIC, Jan. S.-The Japanese gov
ernment has practically determined to
continue negotiations. 1t is dissatis-
fed with Russians terms, but does not
feel warranted in issuing an ultimatum
or breaking off negotiations, and will
make another effort to secure their
modification before resorting to force.
1t is anticipated that the discussion
will consume a few weeks, during
which interim breach of the peace is
improbable.

one party which can be trusted. l be-
lieve the people are now turning once
more to the Democrats for relief from
extravaganza, the unfairness and the un-

we ask is to be judged by those facts
in the coming campaign.
Safe to Trust Democrats.
1t is false that intrusting the Demo-
cratic party with power is or ever was a
menace to the prosperity of the country.
The Democratic idea of what constitutes
true prosperity differs from that of some
of it's opponents. 1t is an old-fashioned
idea If you choose to put it SO, but 1t Is
founded on the precepts of the wise men
of every age and nation and on the ex-
perience of all mankind Democrats do
not look to the government as the source
of prosperity, but to the people them
selves, who will, in fair and honest ways,
work out all the good that Providence
permits them, if the government will leave
them free from needless burdens and
interferences. Every one of them will

The pioneers, who laid the founda-
ton upon which has been built the
greatness of the Northern states, were
also present to help welcome the man
in whose hands have been placed the
reins of government of one of the
mightieSt Of the transcontinental lines.

ry and then into the room, where they
were introduced to the guests of honor.

cortS to the visitors and presented

FIRM CONVICTED
Jury at Duluth Brings a Yer.
dict of Guilty as Was
Charged.
Special to The Globe.


DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 8.-After be-
ing our four hours, the jury tonight
in the municipal court found Edwards,
Wood & Co. guilty of failing to comply
with the regulations imposed upon the
grain commission firms by the statutes
of Minnesota, in that they did not make
a proper return of the sale of con-
signment of carload of fax shipped
to them by Victor Carlson, of Hallock,
Mimi, Jan. 10, 1903. Each member
individually is found guilty by the re-
turn of the jury, and is liable to the
imposition of a fine Of 800 for misde-
meanor. The members of the firm are
L. A. Wood, r. II. Edwards and Forrest
B. Wood. The court will pass SEN
tence tomorrow. The case will be ap-
pealed.
The case has been one of the most
extraordinary ever tried In a court in
the state. 1t required four days to pre-
sent the evidence offered by five wit
nesses = Charles F.. Staples, Victor
Carlson and w. j. McCabe for the
prosecution, and George X. Taylor and
Charles A. Thornton for the defense.
In making a return of guilty the jury,
according to instructions submitted by
the court, found the large grain firm
guilty Of petit larceny in making a
false return to the shipper. Victor
Carlson, and thereby establishing a
shortage of $4.16 in their favor in Carl
sons account. This is the first action
of the kind ever brought by the state
railroad and warehouse commission.
Second Trial Jan. 18.
The second of the six cases pending
trial in the municipal court under the
charge of violation of the same regu-
lations, in which G. S. Moores, of Hope,
N. D.. is the principal witness and con-
signor of grain, will be heard Jan. 18.
The other four cases will follow in or

lected from the seventy being investi-
gated by the state commission against
the methods employed by the same
firm and action will be brought within

bezzlement and ignoring the misde-
meanor charge.

Development of an Empire.
Minnesota In 1880 had only 100000 peo
pie, today she has 100000; the two Da-
kotas in 1880 had less than 100000, and
today North Dakota alone has 100000;
Montana in 1880 had less than $4,000, and
today has nearly 300, 900; Idaho in 1880 had
only 32,000 and today mas 200, 600; Wash
ington In 1880 had $4,000, and today has a
population of 100000.
The younger men of this grand North
tell what the next twenty or thirty years
will produce. When you consider, how
ever, that the population of the states
through which the line of the Northern
Pacific runs increased threefold since 1880,
and nearly 80 per cent since 1890, 1t does
not require much imagination to believe
in greater Minnesota, Wisconsin, North

cattle; and we want their corn, meat,
coal and manufactured articles.

LONDON, Jan. S.-The Kobe corre-

rumor that collision between the
Russian and the Japanese fleets has
taken place near the islands of Tau

This rumor is not mentioned in any
other source, and, in view of the fact
that the Japanese government is ex-

concerning naval matters, it may safe
ly be disregarded.
According to the Nails Toxic corr
