Grand Forks, N. D., July 3o.-Eight
grafters, who are credited with coming
direct from Bonesteel. S. D., were met
at the Great Northern train last night
by Captain Sullivan, who had been adj
yised of their coming.
The men were given to understand
that they would not be allowed to op-
crate in Grand Forks for minute and
they asked to be allowed to remain here
until Tuesday, promising good be-
havior.
Captain Sullivan further warned
them that the first one who was found
on the street after III o'clock at night
would be locked up, and with these
few instructions they were allowed to
go to a hotel The men will be under
constant surveillance OF the police dur
ing their stay in Grand Forks.
& Ten men were in the party when
they reached Leeds yesterday morning.
They took train 26 out of there and
four Of the men left the train at Devils
Lake, two more of the same ilk be-
coming Grand Forks passengers at

OIL
FIGHTS HILL
HARTMAN IS BACKED By
THE ROCKEFELLER CROWD
The Plan Is to Get the Union Pacific
Into Seattle and Corral the Puget
Sound and Alaskan Trade, Which
Hill Now Prevents.

n Boston, July 3o.--It is learned de-
Tfinitely that the Standard Oil interests
are back of the fight being conducted
by E. II. Hartman against J. J. Hill
and the Great Northern for the control
OF the Northern Pacific. The Standard
Oil people have gigantic scheme un-
der way'to corral the traffic in the state
Eof Washington and the Puget Sound
traffic with the oil fields of Alaska,
which hold out vast promise, the oi
fields of Wyoming, with the coal, lunl-
Der, oil and other resources of the en-
tire northwest stretching over the Da-
kotas into Wyoming, Montana, Wash
ington and Oregon. The Union Pacific
is effectually shut out from the Puget
Sound and SO long as Hill holds the
Southern Pacifis SO long will he con-
troll the commerce of the sound and
the traffic through the northwest, with
the nnrivalled lumber business in
Washington. The Rockefeller Gould
roads and the Standard Oil Co., now
pay tribute to the Hill roads and the
combination is therefore determined to
wrest the control of thea Northern Pa
scihc from Hill That is the real aim
of the suit to prevent the distribution
of the Northern Securities along the
Hill lines. Ef$ss h - ..-.

ACTION WAS A SURPRISE
TO AMERICAN OFFICIALS

Washington, July 3o.The action Of
the Venezuelan government in seizing
the properties Of the New York and

unpleasant impression in government
circles. Officials are unable to under

be such an arbitrary procedure as the
supreme court of Venezuela hereto

pai1y to its properties Following the
notice Of the action Of the Venezuelan
government a few days ago in secur-
ing an attachment against the company

rights Of the company, which seem to
be so seriously endangered by the at

GAME HOGS
WERE SOAKED
MINNESOTA SUPREME COURT
HOLDS GAME LAW GOOD
Two Pot Hunters Must Pay $40, 900
Fines Imposed for Hunting Game
Out Of Season The Case Attracted
Great Attention.

st. Paul, July 3o,The supreme court
held the state game and fish act to be
good law and affirmed the Jackson
County court.
The men, Robert Poole and William
Kerr were each fined $4,000 by the
Jackson County court for having 1000
wild ducks i'll their possession. Poole's
fine is affirmed, but a trial is ordered
for Kerr, because Of insufhciency of
evidence. Both are alleged to be pot
hunters who make business Of fur
nishing Chicago markets with wild
game. They were tried jointly. The
defendants appealed the case on the
ground that not only was the fine ex-
cessive, but that there should have been
a separate count for each duck. They
also attacked the constitutionality of the
state game act.

DIRECT RACE
In CHICAGO
THE CAMPAIGN WILL BE
DIRECTED FROM THAT CITY.
Chairman cortelyou Is Looking Over
the Ground With View to Open
ing Up the Western Headquarters
for the Coming Campaign. /.

/ Chicago, ILL.,, July 80. Managers Of
the republican national campaign, in
Guiding Chairman Cortelyou and Secre-
tary Dover of the national committee,
are rounding up in Chicago prepara-
tory to the opening of the campaign
headquarters, s@iii1ii is scheduled for
Monday next. Although Chairman
Cortelyou will spend the greater por-
tion of his time at the New York
headquarters, to be near the President,
1t is evident that the campaign will be
conducted largely from Chicago, as in
former years.
Eight years ago, when the main head
quarters were located in this city, the
work required two floors on the Wa
bash side of the Auditorium building,
and a large storeroom across hestreet,
Four years ago Chairman Hanna and
his staff occupied the third and fourth
floors Of the Michigan avenue addition
to the Annex, while the storeroom and
shipping department took up al busi-
ness house in Wabash avenue.
For the present campaign it has
been found that more space will be re-
|quired than in 1896 or III 1900. A large
part of the parlor floor Of the Annex
has been secured The shipping de-
partment will have the same location
as four years ago. Preparations are
being made to send out great guam
titles Of campaign literature. The speech
delivered by Elihu Root as chairman
|of the convention will be the first docu-
ment to be placed in the hands Of the
voters. II has been printed in panph-
let form and is now ready for distri-
button.
It is understood that Frank $O.
Iowden, the national committeeman
from Illinois, Graeme Stewart, and
Charles G. Dawes will be connected
with the headquarters work here as
members Of the advisory committee
Harry S. New Of Indiana will probably
have general charge Particular att
|tention will be given to Indiana, Illi-
nois and Wisconsin. The distribution
of literature will begin at once, but the
speaking campaign will be deferred ull-
til the first week ia September.

Whale Is Blown Ashore.

Boston, November 1.-The fierce south ern storm which started off the Florida coast on Saturday and swept up the Att lantic seaboard, passed over the mari time provinces today and tonight had it's center off Cape Race, N. F. The storm in the provinces, particularly along the peninsula of Nova Scotia, was attended with terrific gales and an unusually low barometer the glass off Hatteras to- day showing a mark of 2S.6. As reports have been received here from points slong the New England coast regarding the ravages of the storm, a remarkably small number of marine disasters was noted.
 So far as known tonight only two ves- sels were wrecked, the Rockand schooner Arcularius, which went ashore off the Tarpaulin Cove lighthouse on Naushon island, and another Rockland schooner, the Nautilus, which broke her back across the new Dog Bar, breakwater, Gloucester harbor. In neither case was there any 'oss of life.
 One of the most singular effects of the gale was reported from Pennellville, Me, where a whale eighty feet long was blown ashore. Unable to get back into deep water, the great creature lay help less on the beach and a bullet from hunters rifle ended it's life.
