"DUFFY A CANDIDATE az"

The following, taken from the Red
Lake Falls Gazette, is interesting
reading, in these days of political
stagnation:
There has been considerable talk
this week that J. A. Duffy, mayor of
this city, may become a candidate
for representative in tie legislature
from the district of which Red Lake
county is a part. Mr.. Duffy has
been out of the city all of the week
so there has been no opportunity to
ask him to speak up, and it's little
early for politics, anyway. How
ever, it may be said that the district
would have representative worthy
the name should Mr.. Duffy 60 to the
legislature.
Mr.. Duffy is cashier of the Mer.
chants State Bank of Red Lake
Falls, and is spoken of as being a
pretty decent sort of fellow, with a
keen appreciation of what this legis
lative district really needs. But
we'll, its early yet, to make any pre-
dictions as to legislative candidates

sion Of Congress,

Washington, Aug. 13.-The extraor-
binary session of congress which re-
vised the tariff law cost the American
people, it has been estimated by some
Of the statisticians around the Cap
itol, about 100000.
Many different items enter into this
grand total, the chief of which is
mileage. The houses expense on this
account aggregates $154,000 and that
of the senate $4,000. Extra pay al
lowed to employees on both sides of
the Capitol amounted, it is estimated,
to about $15o.000. Special employees
engaged in compiling information for
congress and the committees relative
to the tariff were paid good salaries.
The government printing Office has

Ing the cost Of printing the tariff bill,

nounces He Has No Argument to
Submit. =.
Annapolis. Nd, Aug. 13.-The court
OF inquiry Investigating the death OF
Lieutenant James N. Sutton, Jr., Unit.
ed States marine corps, has concluded
the taking of testimony.
When court met Dr. Edward M
Schaeffer of Washington, called as an
expert on gunshot wounds, resumed
the stand. When the court adjourned
the previous day DR.. Sohaeffer had
shown on a skull the location and
direction Of the bullet wound which
caused the death of decentralization
and had declared that, under tie con.
dltlons established by the testimony,
1t would have been impossible for
Lieutenant Sutton to- fire the shot.
Mr.. B1rney, counsel for Lieutenant
Adams. cross-examfned the witness
and had him take a position on the
counsel table similar to that occupied
by Lieutenant Sutton on the ground
when the fatal shot was fired and re.
peat, with service revolver, q dem.
onstration the witness had previously
given OF the difficulty Of firing under
the circumstances.
Sticks to Previous Statement.
DR.. Schaeffer again declared that
with service revolver and under the
conditions given Lieutenant Sutton
could not have shot himself.
Mr.. Birney sought to learn from the
witness whether the bullet may not
have plowed the scalp wound which
was found on Lieutenant Sutton's
head and then turned and penetrated
the skull. Dr. Schaeffer said he had
never known Of such case and that
while he would not say 1t is an I'm.
possible one he would have to be con
vinced by ocular demonstration This
closed the testimony.
Major Leonard stated that the gov.
eminent had no argument to submit
He outlined the efforts Of the govern
ment to lay before the court every
shred Of testimony touching the case
This having been done, he said, he
would not offer any argument unless
compelled by something that might be
said by the attorneys or other parties
to the investigation.
Adjournment was then taken for the
day.

west of the Allegheny mountains--$S5.0 600
900 more than San Francisco-has re-
vived talk of secession that may result
in a division of the State. 1t is openly
stated by the two majority members of
the board that they out-voted TIE mi
nority member. Jeff McElvaine, of San
BerEardino.
The people of Los Angeles are more than
angry. They are determined if possible
to secede from the northern portion and
have State of Southern California.
Every newspaper in Los Angeles has
taken up the agitation in earnest this
time, although heretofore when the sub
ject of State division has been raised
the larger. and more important papers
have decried it.
Mass meetings. were held. at which tn =,
action of the board of equaliZers was con-
demned and threats of secession were
openly made. McElvaine on leaving his
colleagues told them they had started
that would lose them the
