And, according to cllcula-
tons MAIDEN not less than $50
900 has been entirely lost IN
these attempts since the first
Of last January. These los
ses have been on the China
men who have been captured
during this period, amounting
to more than 500 men.
The manner in which this
money has been lost, explain
ed this man, IS by advancing
cash to bring Chinaman from
their hotnesto Iuarez. These
local men who advance the
money belong TO large com
panies who make a business OF
employing their countrymen
in restaurants, laundries and
other establishments, and in
cidentalIy, they also make
business Of SIN ggllng these
men into the United States.
Every dollar necessary to-
bring them here, including
their ships fare, their recep-
tion and board at Salina Cruz,

their railroad expenses from
that port up through the re-

Now, if a man is captured
while crossing from Juarez to

1t Mariana, washington county, and
while there is nothing definite yet as

Reports from Mariana say that
there are between 200 and 300 men in
The mine. AT the general office of
The coal company in this city it Is
said about 100 men were in the mine.
No Sign of Miners.
At O'clock, an hour and q half

moke were pouring from the two
shafts of the mine, but not a sign of
miners has been seen. .>gs y
Rushing as fast as steam can carry
them, special trains from this city and

is still at the palace. The members Of
the diplomatic corps are in confer
ence at o'clock this morning for the
purpose OF taking measures to facil-
itate and hasten the departure of
Nord Alexis from the republic. The
coup has been remarkably successful.
All the remaining ministers, togeth-
er with high military officials and
Nord Alexis, have taken refuge In the
various foreign legations.
These are the same men who nine
months ago were protesting vocifer-
ously against the granting OF the right
of refuge to unsuccessful revolutionists
and the foreign diplomatic and con-
sular representatives. Today they are
only too happy to seek the protection
of foreign flag to escape the fury OF
the people. The only man to remain
loyal to Nord Alexis is Gen. Camille
Gabriel, his nephew, who for the last
six months has directed the policy OF
the Alexis administration. Gabriel
is at the palace with Alexis.
Movement Well Organized.
The movement had been well or
ganized. Final preparations were
completed last evening and in the ear
ly hours OF the morning bands of cit
izens, organized and armed, moved
quietly about the town and took pos
session of the various points of ad-
vantage. No shots were fired.

MAY TRY MOELLER
!. ON GRAVER CHARGE

Minot,< N. d., Nov. 27.--State's At
torney George A. MCGEE has not yet
announced whether DR.. Thor Moeller
win be tried before the district court
on a charge OF manslaughter in the
second degree, for which he was bound
over, or a graver charge.
1t was stated at the states attor-
ney's. Office today that under the law
the state may file any information they
wish and try the doctor on that charge
He may be tried for murder In the
second degree or manslaughter in the
first degree.
The decision of Judge Murray there
fore. practically means that the case
Is referred to the district court, and
IT rests with the states attorney as TO
what charge the doctor win be prose-
cuted on.
The exact verdict or Judge Murray
In the preliminary hearing. as taken
down by a shorthand reporter. Is as
follows:
This has been a long and tedious
case. A large amount of expert testi-
mony and conflicting evidence has been
introduced both for the state and the
defense. 1 believe that every man tes-
tified to what he believed and thinks
was true. But / do think there is suf-
fcient reason to place DIR. Moeller upon
trial. The only doubt that have In
my mind Isl as to whether the state has
at all proven quick child as charged
in the complaint. do not think that
4 l. Al.
selves would not testify as to that or
give any definite opinion / will, how,
ever, hold DIR. Moeller to answer to a
charge of nianslaughter Sin the second
degree in the district court of Ward
county. / will Ak his bond In the sum
Of $4,000.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL.
Land AMENDMENTS.

There is some confusion in the
minds Of many concerning the pend
ing amendments to section 1853 of the
state constitution regardrrg the mat
ter OF school lands The amendment
which was voted upon Nov. 8, and
the amendment which was published
by the secretary Of state both refer
to the same section of the constitu-
ton and from this a confused idea
has probably arisen. The amendment
published is to be voted upon in the
future. This amendment proposes
to reduce the rate of interest to five
per cent instead of six and allows
purchaser Of school lands to pay up
their contracts after FIVE years and get
clear title by paying the full amount
OF which the land was sold and one
years interest in advance. If this
amendment passes the next legislature
1t will then be submitted to a vote be-
fore 1t becomes fully operative.
The amendment voted on on Nov.
was less important than the forego-
ing. The changes proposed gave the
school land board the authority to ex-
tend the time of payment for school
lands where for any reason or for some
unfortunate cause the purchaser has
been unable to meet the taxes on the
land promptly. Under the old law the
board has no authority except to can
eel the sale, where taxes are unpaid.
In many cases this worked an unnec-
essary hardship on deserving persons,
and the amendment which has become.
a law, as it has carried beyond ques-
tion, gives the school land board the
right to discriminate where taxes may
not have been promptly paid. The
amendment also gives the board auth
ority to dispose OF the land without
the twenty year contingent clause,
where the land Is sold for townsite
purposes.
