A Malicious Report.

During the past few days a re-
port has been circulated to the
effect that J. J. Regain is making
"a saloon campaign for county
superintendent Of schools. It is
perfectly true that Mr.. Began
hired man to place his cards in
the different saloons of this city
and in other places. Any candi-
datewho would circulate or cause
to be circulated, such a malicious
report against an opponent is
certainly unworthy of having
anything to do with the schools
of the county. Mr.. Regan has
conducted a clean, honorable
campaign, is an old resident of
Beltrami county and is in every
way fitted for the Office to which
he aspires.

POLITICS
Use of Money.

Stories that money is being
used to accomplish the defeat of
John Gibbons for county attor-
ney are heard on every hand to-
day. Reports Of the amount in
circulation do not agree, varying
from $500 to $4,000. Whether
there is any truth in these rum.
ors or not it is impossible to say
beyond the fact that several
strong supporters of Mr.. Glib
bons have been offered amounts
varying from $25 to 500 to cease
their efforts in his behalf.

For County ATTORNEY.

All three candidates claim the
nomination-.and are vociferous
about it. Mr. Funkley will get
a good vote in the country, Mr..
Loud has the powerful support
of the gambling fraternity
throughout the county while Mr..
Gibbons has strong friends in all
parts of the county. On a basis
of fifteen hundred votes at the
primary, granting Messrs. Loud
and Funkley everything that
they claim the former will have
500 votes at the utmost and the
latter 400, leaving 600 for Mr..
Gibbons, These figures give a
relative estimate of Mr.. Gibbons
minimum strength and Of his op-
ponents maximum strength.

Men Accomplish Entrance
Last Night and Secure
Money and Stamps.
NO CLUE AS TO WHO PERPE.
TRATED CRIME.
Organized Band Seems to Be
Working Throughout Northern
Section Of Minnesota.

Robbers entered the postofice
at Gonvik, in the western part of
Beltrami county, last night and
looted the drawers in which the
stamps and money we're kept and
secured $50 in stamps and $65 in
No clue as to the perpetrators of
the crime has been found and the
robbers made their escape with
the booty. Postmaster Nels
Fredenburg notified the authori-
ties at Fosston and other towns
along the line this morning and a
close watch is being kept up for
their appearance.
The manner of obtaining en-
trance to the building is lacking,
but it is supposed that they pried
open the door with a crow bar and
afterwards had little difficulty in
securing the stamps.
An organized band seems to be
working in northern Minnesota,
as this makes a half a dozen post
offices, stores and banks that
have been robbed within the past
two months. The last depreda-
ton made by the band was last
week, when they effected en-
trance to the bank at Shevlin and
blew open the safe but were SO
hotly pressed that they did not
secure any money. tits thought
that they hid in the woods near
there and afterwards made their
way westward to Gonvik and
committed another robbery there
last night.
The authorities have been
working on the trail of the rob
bers for some time, but as yet
not the slightest evidence has
been secured against them. and
no one is even suspected of the
robberies.

Mr.. Gibbons Strength.

Mr.. Gibbons strength in his
campaign for county attorney
lies in the fact that he is re-
garded by all factions and by all
sections as a safe, conservative
man as we'll as an able and honest
one. These qualities are daily
gaining him strength and were
the campaign to be prolonged
one week he would unquestion-
ably have as many votes as both
his opponents put together.

IN A FIERCE FIGHT
Race Battle Stopped in
AsheviIIe by Arrival
of Officers.
(Bv The Associated Press

Asheville, N. c., March 21.-What gave
fair prospects of e race war was stopped
by the timely arrival on the scene today
of Sheriff Reed and his deputies. When
the officers arrived number OF negroes
and three white men were fired up in a
free for all fight.
The trouble took place at a restaurant
nea1 the Southern station. In the melee
which followed, Sheriff Reed suffered a
stab wound in the fieshy part of LAS right
hand.
AS nearly as can be ascertained James
Halliburton, white, went into the restau-
rant for lunch. He was displeased with
the order served and SO informed the
proprietor. The proprietor, a negro
named Lockman, objected to the Ian
gu; &c used and blows followed, wnen
George Shuford. and Sid Conner, both
friends of Halliburton, came to the lat
tors rescue.
At that point, other negroes interfered
and the fight became general. Sheriff
Reed, and his deputies, happened to be
in the neighborhood of the restaurant
and arrested Halliburton, Snuford, Conner
and Lockman.

A PHASE OF THE YELLOW PERIL
Chinese Labor in the Transvaal Gre.
ates a Scene in Parliament.
(By the Associated Press.)

London March 21.-In the House of
Commons today the Liberal leader, Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman, moved his
vote of censure, presented March To-, to
the effect that this house disapproves
the conduct of His Majesty's government
in advising the crowds not to disailow the
ordinance for the introduction of Chinese
labor in the Transyaal.' After a sharp de-
bate the motion was rejected by a. vote
of 299 to PAP. Sixty-five Nationalist mem
bers voted against the government.
Sir Henry said nothing the government
had done since the close of the South AT
rican war had so sorely tried the people
of this country as it's sanction of introduc-
ton Of Chinese labor into South Africal
It was impossible to conceive a greater
departure from the principles by which
Great Britain hitherto had made her way
in the world than the importation of aliens
as the bondsmen of mining spectators.
Sir Henry laid special stress on the pro-
vision TO the effect that anyone harboring
deserving Chinaman would be treated as
a receiver of stolen goods. If this did not
constitute slavery, he said, the difference
was indstinguishable.
Colonial Secretary Lyttleton, replying
Indignantly repealed the allegation that
the government was favorable to slavery
The government, he asserted, had been
guided by the overwhelming sentiment in
the Transvaal in favor of Chinese labor
and the economy thereof The ministry
had adopted the only alternative to bridge
the transition period until the blacks had
increased sufficiently to fill the demand
for unskilled labor.
Major John Edward Seeley who hitherto
has been consistent supporter of the
government, said he believed the impor-
tation of Chinese labor would render the
Transvaal impossible as white man S
country. He announced that therefore he
had today rendered his resignation to his
constituents because he did not think it
fair that he should vote against the gov
eminent without giving his constituents
an opportunity of turning him out if they
did not approve of his action.
The conclusion of Major Seeley's speech
was lost amid tremendous outburst OF
disapproval from the ministerial side
Premier Balfour, who followed Major
Seeley, was unable to secure hearing, the
Irish members protesting against the
treatment of the major.
William Redmond said that Mr.. Balfoul
should have insisted upon respectful
hearing for Major Seeley and when The
Premier said he had appealed for such
hearing Mr. Redmond withdrew his oppo
sition and the House quoted down agair
to listen to Mr.. Balfour, who in opposing
the resolution said it was a question
whether the Transvaal should be allowed
TO go through grave commercial crisis
rather than, admit Chinese labor Liber
al governments, he said, had in the pas
legalized the importation of such labo
for British colonies and the opposition wa
now reaping the benefit of the evils whic
their own party had produced.
Chinese labor in the Transvaal was ais
debated during the entire session of tn

Boston, Mass, March 21.-Reports from
various parts of New England indicate
that an earthquake shock was felt tins
morning in nearly all sections of New
England and the maritime provinces. The
extent and severity of the disturbance is
said by astronomers to show that it was
the most remarkable in twenty years.
The motion of the earth was most vio-
lent apparently in eastern Maine, where
from three to seven distinct shocks were
felt. Bar Harbor noted seven shocks of
a violence sufficient to cause the fire
