!WELLS GRAND JURY
Continued from Page ~

out against the return Of a true bill,
the labors Of the inquisition would go
as nought. A vote Of twelve at least Is
required to return an indictment and
at least thirteen men are required by
law to be on the Grand Jury before any
business can be accomplished. Jurors
are occasionally asking to be excused
on account of sickness or pressing bus
mess engagements, and where there
are only thirteen on the panel the ex-
cusing OF one means the suspension of
proceedings until he can return to the
secret chamber.
The Territory has had disagreeable
experiences heretofore In the matter
of Grand Juries where the membership
was down to the minimum required by
law. Important matters would be
brought to the attention of the in
veStigators and fail Of true bill mere
lily for the reason that two members
held out against an indictment This
meant that the work had to be done all
over again and time and money was
wasted to the Territorial Government
Incidentally Editor F. j. Tesla OF the
Independent was re-indicted by the
Grand Jury when there were only thir-
teen men sitting and 1t is common
rumor that one of these thirteen held
out in favor Of the defendant, making
the return possible only by the closest
!. possible margin. Emmett May was also
indicted by the same panel, Tesla was
,re-indicted for criminal libel and May
was indicted for embezzlement.
Tesla is down to enter a plea to the
latest Indictment against him before

Since the erection OF the bridge
It has, at an average cost of 81 200,

that was unsatisfactory owing to

Chicago, June 15.-Postmaster Gen.
eral Henry G. Payne, chairman of the
republican national committee, COL
lapsed at the Auditorium Annex to-
day. ... t.ss. ',+':
l. Mr.. Payne has not been in good
health for some time. He recently
took an ocean trip for purposes of re-
cuperation. " -.
He was in his room when the attack
came. His ailment apparently was Of
a neurasthenic nature. The time was
shortly before the hour set for the
convening of the republican national
committee over which Mr.. Payne ex-
pected to preside. ~.
It was said that Chairman Payne's
illness was such as to preclude his
taking active part in at least the pre-
liminary work Of theaconvention. 1t
was stated that Senator Scott of West
Virginia would probably succeed as
executive head of the Committee and
would presidest1lis afternoon.
Harry New. of the committee made
the following statement this afternoon
The report that Mr.. Payne has suffered
a sudden collapse is not true..' Every
body knows that for several months he
has sheen in poor health. The excitement
and late hours necessary to attendance
on the preliminary convention work have
exhausted him to some extent, Mr.. Payne
will be all right with a little rest and
sleep. Reports that his health is in q
precarious condition are, to. say the least
exaggerated.

NEWS OF BATTLE AWAITED
Russians Expect Port Arthur and
Vladivostok Fleets to Unite.

st. Petersburg, June 15.-3:35 p. m.
NO information is obtainable here
regarding the reported engagement
between the Russian Vladlvostok
squadron and a Japanese squadron in
the Korean straits. But it Is quite
likely that naval fight has occurred
or is about to occur.
Vice Admiral Skrydloff has left
Vladivostok with the armored cruisers
Gromoboi, Rossia and Rurik and some
torpedo craft. AS this fact is already
known abroad the Associated Press
betrays no confidence Of the authori-
ties here in making this definite an
nouncement.
If the report that the Russian pro-
tected cruiser Novik made a sortie
from Port Arthur yesterday is true, 1t
demonstrates that the entrance Is free
and this was doubtless preliminary to
the egress of the whole squadron for
the purpose Of effecting a juncture
with Skrydloff's squadron.
The news Of a decisive sea battle
may therefore arrive at any hour.
Before Admiral Skrydloff left Vladi-
vostok the Russian protected cruiser
Bogatyr, which went on the rocks of
Cape Gamova, was hauled off and
towed into the harbor of Vladivostok
She Is now in dock there.

Toxic, June Is, p. NIT Is re-
ported here that the Japanese pro-

the Russian Vladivostok squadron Off
Tsu island, in the strait between Ko-
rea and Japan. This report how
ever, lacks confirmation.
Three Japanese transports, outward
bound from ShimonOseki, met the
Russian warships this morning out
side the strait Of Korea. The Rus
slams fired eighteen shots at the Jap
anese ships. One transport escaped.
The fate Of the other two Is not
known.
The Japanese transports Ugo and
F'uyo, homeWard bound, met the Rus
sian vessels near Oki island. The
Russians pursued them and fired six
teen shots at the Japanese ship. The
transports escaped and reached Kat
SumOto.
The Japanese warships in the vicin-
ity are hurrying to the scene. Sasebo
Is being closed.
There Is strong possibility that a
naval engagement will take place
soon. No southern Japanese city Is
exposed to attack, but this Russian
raid may prove expensive to shipping.

Spooner Throws Dignity Aside

From Staff Correspondent.
Chicago, June 15.-Those members
of the national committee who came
to Chicago thinking that the 'Wiscon-
sin contest was to be settled without
difficulty are now revising their judg-
ments.
Senator Spooner, the leader and
spokesman of the "stalwart" faction,
has not hesitated to let everybody
know just where he stands, and his
that his extensive vocabulary could
command. He is mad, "cean plumb
thru" and members of the national
committee who are also members of
the senate, and have never seen the
senior Wisconsin senator in action out
side the capital city, are wondering
that he should have so completely lost
control Of himself. He uses the bit
terest language, and at times the most
vulgar abuse in referring to the half
Breeds" and his choice of epithets Is
to say the least, unWise.
From his dignif1ed, influential and
commanding position in the American
senate, where he has the ear Of the en-
tire country on all great occasions, and
portant day the direct mouthpiece OF
the administration, he has descended
at one step to the level of a common
political brawler. Incorporate in
speech, impassioned in gesture, in
dulging in language which he must
know cannot be accepted literally by
his hearers, and which, when dis
tige, he is as unlike the John c.
Spooner whom one sees in Washington
as day is unlike night.
All of which shows that there Is tc
be no compromise Of the Wisconsin
trouble that the "stalwarts' will &C.

During Mr.. Gould's visit at the
White House it developed that the
president desired to secure the al
legiance Of Mr.. Gould for Attorney
General Knox after his retirement
from the. cabinet. The president had
friends would oppose the election OF
Mr.. Knox when he came before the
Pennsylvania legislature as a candi-
date for the. long term as United

The president had heard that Mr.
Gould is powerful In western Pennsyl-
vania, where he had secured an en-.
trance into Pittsburg for the Wabash
railroad despite the opposition of Mr.
Cassatt and the Pennsylvania lines
AS the result Of that struggle much
bitterness was engendered and the
president understood Gould did no.

senators being under the thumb Of Mr.

brought to Mr.. Roosevelt that he
would antagonize Mr.. Knox.
The president told Gould of the vari.

Washington, June 15.-To-da s
New York Tribune, which on Monday
printed a story that proposition had
been submitted to Murphy and Hill
looking to the cessation Of the Tam
many fight on Judge Parker, prints
another story Indicating that these
negotiations have failed and that the
fight will be carried to st. Louis. 1t
says: T.. ....
"Charles F. Murphy is confident
that he has Hill and Belmont beaten
at st. Louis. A supreme court judge,
a personal friend of Judge Parker and
Of Mr.. Murphy, suggested to Mr.. Muir
ply this week thatsit would be a good
idea for Tammany to fall into line
for Parker and make his nomination
certain, at the same time getting a
pledge from him that McCarren
should be removed from the chair
manship Of the state executive COM
mittee and not embarrass Tammany
any more by arraying the Brooklyn
machine against Murphy.
'"The would-be peacemaker was in
formed that any overtures would have
to come directly from Hill and Nc
Carren and furthermore, he was told
that as Parker already was beaten,
overtures at this time would be Of lit
tie use.
"The Parker men are trying to pre-
vent Tammany from carrying its op-
position to Parker into the convention.
They are afraid of the moving effect of
one Of w. Bourke Coekran's speeches
If the fight is carried to the conven-
ton floor.
Things are shaping so that it is
almost certain that the convention will
be highly exciting and turbulent. The

WEARY SEEKERS u.
FOR LAND FILE
Four Women in the Line at Cass
Lake-Squatters Prepare
to Contest.
Special to The Journal.


Cass Lake. Mimi, June 15.-One
hundred and ten weary seekers for
land were lined up before the United
States land office here this morning
waiting for the doors to open. Among
the number were four women. The
first man to file was Daniel Caldwell,
who took 100 acres sixteen miles
southeast Of the village Of Northome.
At the end of the first half hour
twenty three filings had been made.
An amusing incident was the breaking
into the line Of Mary Hamelinen, a
| Finn, who succeeded in filing despite
| the fact that she had no number. The
filings were pretty we'll disposed of
at noon.
1t is said that many squatters went
on the land promptly at 9 o'clock and
will contest conflicting entries made at
| the land office.
The four ladies who entered land
are Louise Moen of Fosston, Inberg
Ose Of Big Wolf Lake, Bertha John
son of Virginia. and Mary Hameliner
Of Eveleth. The land which is most
in demand is in town 14S, ranges &c
and 27.
1t was expected that Governor Rich.

office, would be here, but he did moi
| come.
