WOMAN SUES
FOR 100000
Wonderfully Valuable Mine
in Minnesota Being
Fought For

St. Paul, Mimi, May "A special
to the Pioneer Press from Duluth,
Mimi, says:
Suit was filed in district court to-
day by Mary A. Skinner, administrat-
or of the estate of John R. Skinner,
against Wellington R. Butt, and the
Lake Superior Consolidated Iron
Mines company, which involves title
to the Butt mine, estimated to be
worth $S,0O0,000. Plaintiff claims
that John R. Skinner served in the
Union army during the civil war and
under a soldiers additional land
grant, filed on the land where the
mine was located. The company
claims that Skinner sold the soldier
scrip given him on account of his
honorable discharge, and in July,
1875, signed blank power of attor-
ney to go with the scrip on account
of ruling of the land department
requiring that the land be entered
under the soldiers name.
The scrip, the company alleges,
passed into the hands of James P.
Parker, of Faribault, Mimi, after
several transfers, and Mr.. Baker
entered on the land in question
Baker was compelled to use Skin
ner's name in entering on the land
and had the power of attorney filled
out.
Plaintiff alleges that the power of
attorney was forged, if one existed
and denies that Skinner knew any.
thing of Baker taking possession of
the land. The company cites the
statute of limitations to show that
Butt had had possession of the prop
erty undisturbed for Is years and
that action would be barred in con.
sequence. The Butt mine is at Hib-
bling, and is leased by Butt to- the
consolidated company.

NARROWED
Florida People Won't Have
Him So Col. Stewart
Stays in Arizona

Washington, d. c., May Col.
w. M. F. Stewart of the coast artil-
lery, who also bears the distinction
of being one of the officers of the
army assigned to command an aban-
doned post until the date of his re-
tirement arrives, has again received
new orders direct from the president.
AS result of the latest decree Col.
Stewart will continue Indefinitely his
command of Fort Grant, Arizona,
where he was sent last September. in
lieu of his refusal to retire.
Earnest efforts on the part of his
friends resulted in a reversal of this
order week or so ago, when it was
officially announced that. the colonel
would be permitted to spend three or
four years Of his active official career
in an abandoned barracks at ST.
Augustine, Florida. This order was
countermanded today by directions
of the president and Colonel Stewart
will remain at the Arizona post.
The reversal of the order was the
result of a vigorous protest on the
part of the people of Florida, made
known through the senators from
that state. No other explanation OF
the latest command is made.

CONGRESSIONAL
IN the SENATE

Washington, May 2.-The policy
sought to be established by the gov
eminent of providing and equipping
buildings for it's ambassadors in Eu-
ropean capitals received setback to-
day in the senate, where the diplo-
matte bill was under consideration.
Through a point of order by Mr.. Gull
berson of Texas an amendment to the
house bill appropriating 100000 for
such a building at Paris was stricken
out
Mr.. Culberson based his objection
mainly, on the fact that the subject
had not been properly considered. The
amendment was placed in the bill by
the committee on appropriations at
the solicitation of the committee on
foreign relations and the secretary of
state, and was the subject of consid.
cradle discussion.
A number of senators voiced the
opinion that such policy had been
inaugurated at this time as not only
COMFORTING with the dignity of the of.
fee of American ambassador, but as
creating a fixed habitation for such
representatives where practically
uniform standard of living might be
maintained.
The bill was passed, following
which eulogies on the life character
and public services of the late Sen
ators Mollory and Bryan Of Florida
were delivered, and as a fuarther
mark of respect the senate. adjourned
until Monday.
