The fight over the repeal of the timber
and stone act and other land laws is
growing warmer every day Following
the lively interchange in the Hans
brough senate committee last week,
the scene of battle was shifted today
to the house committee on public lands,
where Representative Reeder, Of Kan
sas, was given a hearing. He at
tackled Mr.. Hansbrough and others,
speaking of them as incompetents and
in other similar terms.
Mr.. Reeder charges that the fight
against repeal is being engineered by
"cattle barons" and "a league Of land
grabbers." He asserted that the public
lands were being disposed Of under
these acts at an alarming rate and at
a price ($2.50 per acre) much below
their real value. In this way the valu-
able timber and stone lands were be-
ing acquired by large holders. Mill
men and lumbermen were acquiring
the timber lands and the stone lands
were being gathered in by quarrymen.
A man would buy $50 acres at $3.50
per acre and then sell the same to a
company. The committee postponed
consideration Of the bill till Friday.

ELY, Mimi, March 30-William j..
Weichard, formerly of st. Paul, but
now of this city, had thrilling ex-
perience with a wildcat while driving
in from Winton, a small numbering
town four miles from this city. When
two miles FROM town the wildcat
sprang from a tree by the side of the
road to the horses back and from
there into the sleigh. The frightened
horse dashed down the road, and then
ensued firece fight in the sleign. Mr..
Weichard being unable to jump from
it.
The cat had the best of the en-
counter until Mr. Weichard got out his
pocketknife and attacked the beast
with that The fight lasted fifteen
minutes, until the animal, weakened
by the numerous cuts which Weichard
had inflicted upon it, jumped from the
sleigh and disappeared into the woods.
Mr.. Weichard has several bad
scratches
This is the first time this winter
that these animals have attacked any
one, although there are many of them
in the woods.

SENATOR ACCUSES
ELEVATOR men
Mccumber Declares That They
Rob the Farmers Of
the Northwest.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 3d.
Speaking in the senate in favor of his
bill for federal grain inspection, Sena-
tor McCumber, of North Dakota, made
charges today Of a most sweeping
character against grain elevator men
of Minneapolis, Superior, Duluth and
other cities Of the Northwest. In eff
feet, he> charged that elevator men are
venally corrupt and in league to rob
the farmer. He cited many specific in
stances where grain was graded as No.
2 or when it came into the elevators
and was put out as No. l northern
without being cleaned or altered in any
respect, the difference in price of the
grades being appropriated by the ele-
vator men.
1.-THE elevators at Duluth and Su-
perior," he said, "are known by their
own records to have put out 28,S66,000
bushels more of wheat in the past ten
years than was taken in. The net value
of this false weighing would be $780,
100000 to the elevators, in which sum
the farmers of the Northwest have
been bilked.''
Senator McCumber told Of one case
related to him by Minneapolis grain
dealer in which a consignment of
wheat was shipped from Minneapolis

which has been in operation for more
than two months past in this state, has
been evidently intrusted to James r.
Bennett, a ST. Cloud attorney. Mr..
Bennett has kept in close touch with
Mr.. Hearst's Chicago headquarters, and
it is understood that the Hearst boom
has attained considerable strength in
ST. Louis county as we'll as in the
Sixth district. Mr.. Bennett was in
Minneapolis yesterday and 1t is said an
unsuccessful effort was made to turn
Ninth ward Democratic meeting into
Hearst movement.
Bennett Was Republican,.
Bennett came to the Democratic
party from the Republicans In 1895,
and his home county is said to be for
anybody but Hearst. Stearns county
men have written to st. Paul friends
and pledged the county to Judge Parker
or any other man acceptable to the
men who have been in control of the
party in this state in recent years.
No effort has been made to line up
Ramsey county for Hearst, and 1t is
safe to say that such an effort would
prove anything but successful were it
decided upon as advisable.

SHOWS BRITAIN'S
POLICY in ASIA
viceroy OF india Says 1t IS
Only to Prevent Hostile
Encroachment.

CALCUTTA, March 80. - In the
budget discussion today the viceroy,
Lord Curzon, reviewed the last five
years Of Indian administration and de-
clared it was his express intention to
return to India.
Referring to the responsibilities in
Asia, he said India resenbled a fortress
beyond whose walls there existed on
one side a glacis of varying breadth
and dimensions, which they did not
desire to occupy, but which they could
not afford to see occupied by foe.
They were quite content that it should
remain in the hands of allies and
friends, but if unfriendly influences
should creep up and lodge under its
walls they would be compelled to In
tervene, because the danger of such
unfriendly influences would grow I'd
as menace to their security This,
he said, was the secret of their whole
position toward Arabia, Persia, AT
ghanistan and Siam.
Abiding to the contemptuous attf-
tude of the Tibetan government, in the
face Of the extreme patience of the
Indian government, Lord Curzon said:
1 have no desire to push on anywhere.
The history of the last five years has been
one of consolidation and restraint, but
would suffer any imputation rather than
be an unfatthful sentinel and allow the
future peace of the, country to be COM
promised by encroachments from outside
which could only have one meaning.

HEINzE IS FINED $4,000
FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
Montana Copper Magnate and Others Found Guilty in
Connection With Michael DaWtt Claim-They Must
Pay Today or Be Kept in Custody-Federai Judge
Beatty Registers This Decree.

operated by Mr.. Heinze, and the Penn
sylvania, owned by the Amalgamated
Copper company. In the latter part OF
1898 the claim was put under 1nJunc-
ton by Judge Knowles, of the United
States district court, both parties to
the suit being enjoined pending deci-=
sion as to title, which decision is still
pending. Up to June of last year botn
parties observed the injunction. Later
the HeinZe concern, owning the Rarus,
began, it is alleged, to mine the claim
in open violation of the courts lnJunc-
ton. Federal inspectors, appointed by
Judge Knowles, were refused admit
tance to the Rarus, whence they wished
to get into the Davitt, even when
guided by United States Marshal Lloyd.
Then circuit judges called in Judge
Beatty to decide whether or not the
orders of the federal court had been
violated. Three weeks ago Mr.. Heinze
Trerise and Frank were arrested by
Marshal Lloyd on Judge Knowles or
der, after they had refused the marshal
and federal inspectors admission to
the mine. They were allowed to go on
parole until Judge Beatty could get
here.
After the action of the court today
representatives of the Heinze and
Amalgamated Copper companies at
tempted to agree upon a board of In
spectors.
The text of the decision shows that
the fine is practically a deposit pend
ing final adjudication of the ore bodies
in controversy. Judge Beatty said:
"ShouId later developments in the
trial of the case prove that Mr.. Heinze
is entitled to this ore the money should
be returned to him, or, at least, part
of it. but I believe in any event he
should pay a fine for the violation OF
the injunction order. Should the plain
tiffs be entitled to the ore I believe the
money should be turned over to them
to apply on the payment of the judg-
ment."

Friends of Judge Alton B. Parker,

delegation from Minnesota to the ma
tional convention Of the Democratic

The news that Judge Parker would

ton with the solid vote Of New York

gence to his admirers in Minnesota
yesterday, and two of the best known

BUTTE, Mont, March 30.-F. Au-
gustus Heinze, the Montana copper
magnate; A. L. Frank, superintendent of
the Johnstown Mining company, and
J. H. Trerise, superintendent Of the
Rarus mine, Heinze properties, were
found guilty of contempt of court by
Judge Beatty in the United States court
today in the action brought by the
Butte & Boston Mining company
against the defendant, for entering the
Michael Davitt lode claim and extract
ing therefrom valuable ore on what
is known as the Ennargite vein. Mr..
Heinze was fined $4,000, while Frank
and Trerise were fined $1,000 each,
their fines to be paid by IL o'clock
tomorrow morning or the defendants
to be taken to Helena in custody of
the United States marshal and con-
fined until the fines are paid. Carlos
Warf1eld, another defendant, was found
not guilty and discharged.
The Judgment applies only to the
first count against the defendants.
Judge Beatty's reservation of decision
on two of the three counts on which
Mr. Heinze was charged with contempt
in disobeying a former order of the
court, that an inspection of the Heinze
mines be allowed in order to permit
of the survey of certain ore veins, has
the effect of keeping an imprisonment
sentence hanging over Mr.. Heinze.
Judge Beatty announced, however, that
no Imprisonment order will be issued
If the fine is paid and If there is no
further violation of the courts order.
But any infraction of the courts order
for a permanent inspection board of the
mines will, he says, be severely pun
ished. 1t is not thought that the de-
cision will have the effect of closing
down any mine or throwing men out
of work
The litigation is of four years stand
ing, and is over the Michael Davitt
claim, adjoining both the Rarus mine,
