GIVES NO LIGHT
Judge 0est Says the Suprsme
Courts Statement on Nagel
Does Not Help.
ARGUMENT ON A NEW MOTION
Attorneys for Defendant Renew Motion
for Discharse-To Be Heard
First Day of Term.

81 do not take the oral statement OF
the supreme court as any direction tc
this court" said Judge Gest this morn
ing in discussing the Nagel murder
case. In this discussion he intimated
that he did not propose to turn loose 4
man with such serious charge against
him summarily and without due con
sideration from every standpoint. The
matter was brought up in circuit court
this morning on motion by II. a.
Weld and Adair Peasants, attorneys
for the defendant, to withdraw the mo-
ton for a continuance and renew the
motion for discharge of the prisoner.
The matter was set for argument May
7, the first day of the next term
No Light From Supreme Court.
Il was in hopes that this matter
would be disposed of by the supreme
court and was glad when it was put
in such shape that it could be thus
disposed of without the expense of a
trial. But they have given us no light
On the matter They say they did not
even consider the petition. They sim
ply refer to the Newlin case. In their
opinion as to the Newlin case they re-
fer to the Brooks case and the Brooks
case was one that | had put before me
N the hearing of the motion. That is
a case where the prisoner never was
discharged, an altogether different
case.
Il want it understood that | have
not made up my mind on this matter
and | want counsel to help me with it.
The fact is that l am in a quandary
about it. l want to make up my mind
and will as soon as l am satisfied as
to what the law is. l want to get the
case disposed of one way or another.
New Trial Denied.
Judge Gest overruled a motion for Il
new trial in the case of Ross VS.. the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail-
way company. and entered judgment
on the verdict for the sum of $4,000.
An appeal is prayed to the appellate
court.

ENDURANCE OF MINNESOTA FARMER

LIE SUEUR, Mimi, March I'm
Waterville, Mimi, there lives a man
who has celebrated his 1O1st birthday.
His name is Gotleib Schuhmann. He

the birthday cake that was prepared
for him on that occasion.
Mr. Schuhmann is wonderfully well
preserved for his great age. He can
read without the aid of glasses lis in
fine health; splits the stove wood for
the family use; shocks the wheat in
the field in harvest time and can and
does carry at one time two large candy
pals of water in attending to the stock.
He is considerably stronger than his
son, an aged man, who also lives at
WaterVille. He was a soldier in Ger

100 years of age. and then gave it up at
the request of his married daughter.
with whom he lives and who considered
it bad for him. He is temperate in his
habits, but takes a little beer, or wine,
when he wishes to do so.

Winnipeg Salvation Army Preparing to
Receive 5000 British People
Who Will Locate.

WINNIPEG, Man, March 1.-The To-
cal officers Of the Salvation Army are
busy making preparations for a large
body of immigrants who will arrive
here from England during the coming
summer About $500 British people
will be briught west directly under the
care of the army and the first steamer
with part of these immigrants started
from England today. This is an un
dertaking of the Salvation Army
prompted by the double intention of re-
lieving the situation in Great Britain
and to supply much needed help to the
farmers and business men of western
Canada. Of the $500 to come to Win
nipeg it is expected that about 1900
will be located in Manitoba, while the
rest will go to Saskatchewan. The
Salvation Army does not intend to
bring the paupers and the scum of the
British population to this country, and
deals only with Woodworking and will,
ing people, who may be temporarily out
of employment or wish to better their
condition.

SATISFIED WITH DRY DOCK CRUISER
Navy Department Officials Are Highly
EIs;ted Over Progress Made
by 1.-THE Dewey"

WASHINGTON, D. c., March l.
There is considerable of satisfaction
among the officials of the navy depart
ment over the reports of the safe ar
rival af The Dewey dry dock off the
Canary Islands. 1t was not expected
that there would be any difficulty en-
countered by the expedition, for it was
known that the weather conditions
were reasonably good, the trip of the
dock having been timed by the hydro
graphers so as to take advantage of the
fair winds across the Atlantic. 1t is
now realized, however, that those who
estimated the time to be made by the
expedition gave the dock too much
credit for speed. The builders of the
structure have insisted that under the
best conditions the expedition could not
make greater speed than ninety miles
a day On the average, making no al
lowance for the accidents to hawsers
and the transfer of the stores. The
officials of the navy department main.
tanned that the Dewey would be able
20 travel considerably faster. Some
officers had been predicting that the
dry dock would go long way toward
supporting the theory Of the strategic
usefulness of the dock and assisting
the plan to obtain an appropriation for
another in the present session of con-
gress.

Contents of Report.

Says the report: The Americans re-
sponded to the call of their country,
and led by Captains Mclean, a minor,
and Raynor, organized a force which
industriously hunted up testimony for
the American counsel, and, as stated
in my report to the honorable secretary
of state January s, 1899, "enabling
them to sit and expose fictitious claims
and to reduce unreasonable and exorb-
liant valuations to reasonable, proper
tons, and by affording counsel who
conducted examinations of witnesses
some equipment in knowledge of facts
and Of the men.
Conspicuous among the Americans
was Captain Alexander Mclean. He
owned a half interest in two ships
seized by the United States for which
Great Britain demanded indemnity.
His co-owner, a British subject, had
sworn before the Paris tribunal that
iS was lIiC SUE oNllSl. LIE ISSlSlly
of the ships did not disclose Captain
McLeans interest. Under the stipula-
tions nothing could be awarded to him,
an American, but a full award to the
two ships would have benefited him to
the extent of his equities in them
Under these circumstances this brave
and honest man made oath before the
commission to his part ownership.
when by silent assent to the perfidy OF
his partner he would have been bene-
flied himself. Not only did Captain
Mclean lose by his truthfulness, but
his activity in behalf Of the United
States subjected him to many unpleas
ant experiences and personal risk a.
the hands of the British claimants and
their friends at Victoria Surely such
a nina and his countrymen, the Ameri
Can sailors who joined, defended and
sustalhed him, not only deserve the
consideration of this government, but
has earned the praise of the psalmist
given to him who sweareth to his
own hurt, and changeth not"
