Article Was Misconstrued Game Warden Rutledge: “The article which recently appeared in the Pioneer relative to my be- ing allowed to net suckers is be- ing misconstrued by wary parties. 1 was given permission to personally net the suckers (and no other fish) from Lake Be- midji, or to authorize anyone.l might select to net them, undir al my supervision, and not oth wise. Itis unlawful to use anet at any time, except to get whité- fish, from Nov. 10th to Dec. 10th; and I shall prosecute anyone caught running a net for any other purpose, or at any other time, unless under my personal supervision, on Lake Bemidji or its tributaries, and I hope this axplanation will be plain enough to be thoroughly understood.” One Case Dismissed.

Washington, April 19.—Sena- priation bill up in the senate and thinks it will be passed this week, More important legislations is proposed for Minnesota in the bill than in any like measuve for years. ! An amendment has already been adopted providing that | homestead settlers on ceded In- dian reservations of Minnesota be giveu an extension of one year in which to make payments. It is also proposed te allow the lood Indian allottees to re- ceive patents to their lands on White Earth. This means that they can sell and dispose of them and one of the richest tracts in Mianesota will thus be opened for development. Patents to full-bloods will be issued only by order of the secretary of the in- terior. Efforts will be made to restore the payment for Supt, Wilham O'Neil and his assistants for sus. tenance, The department of the interior directed that he pay himself and his assistants for sustenance, and when he pre- sented his bills the treasury de- partment turned him down. If this amount already paid outis not_reimbursed, Mr. O’Neil will be compelled to lose about $2,600. 'he Indian schools of the state the Chippewa apportionment funds are increased. “Arson Case at Deer River.

MAKES LAW A FARGE PRESIDENT CRITICISES HUMPHREY’S DECISION IN BEEF TRUST CASE. JUDGE SENSATIONAL MESSAGE TO CONGRESS RECOMMENDS PASSAGE OF DE- CLARATORY ACT DEFINING INTENT OF LAW. Washington, April 19.—In a special message delivered to congress during the day President Roosevelt declares that the result of the recent trial of the “beef packers” in Chicago was “a miscarriage o justice” and that the interpretation placed by Judge Hum- phrey on the will of congress “is such as to make that will absolutely abor- tive.” The message, which is most sensa- tional in character, is based largely on a letter to the:president from Attorney General Moody, in which the attorney general reviews the proceedings of the case of the government against the beef packers. The president says it is clear that no criticism attaches to Commissioner Garfield, as what he dil was in pursuance of a duty imposed on him by congress. He refers sharply, however, to the decision of Judge Humphrey, saying that congress could not have foreseen such a decision and that he can hardly believe that ‘the ruling of Judge Humphrey will be fol- lowed by other judges. He declares that such interpretation of the law as that placed on it by Judge Humphrey ‘“‘comes measurably near making the law a farce,” and he recommends that congress pass a declaratory act stating its real intention. The president also requests congress to confer upon the government, by statute, the same right of appeal in criminal cases which the defendant now enjoys, where the mer- its of the case have not been deter- mined. REJECTED BY OPERATORS. Last Proposal of Mine Workers Is Turned Down. New York, April 19.—The anthra- cite coal operators’ committee has de- clined the latest arbitration proposal of the coal miners, as was anticipated. The operators’ answer says: “We have no other suggestions to malke than those contained in our for- mer propositions and we regret that you have declined both of them. We have nothing further to offer.” That the mine owners contemplate an extended strike is evident from the fact that three score of coal barges “beloniging to the Philadelphia and Reading company, which were used in the hard coal trade between Philadel- phia and Eastern ports, were ordered out of service. Throughout the lower hard coal fields the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company are building barracks around their collieries. It is the intention of the company not to leave a colllery exposed in this region, While this apparent activity is in prog- ress mine superintendents state that no attempt will be made to start wash- eries in the Schuylkill region for sev- eral days. DECISIVE ACTION NECESSARY. Type of Canal Must Be Determined or Work Will Suspend. Washington, April 19.—Secretary Taft during the day told the senate committee on interoceanic canals that the question of type of canal must be determined at once or Chief Engineer Stevens will be placed in a position where he will be compelled to sus- pend work. He did not attempt to dis- cuss the engineering or technical ques- tions, but said that he already is com- mitted to the lock type, as recom- mended by the.minority of the board of consulting engineers, and would adhere to his first opinion. He said that if congress does not settle the question the president would not hesi- tate to adopt the minority plan. The_secretary expects to be before the committee about three days and discuss especially questions that have been raised by the canal inquiry. He will deal particularly with the legisla- tion needed for the government of the zone. COSSACK OFFICER SLAIN. Accused of Treating Girl Revolutionist Outrageously. St. Petersburg, April 19.—Abramoff, the Cossack officer who treated Maria Spiridonovo, the revolutfonist, in an outrageous manner while she was in prison, has been assassinated at Boris- sogliebsk, He was shot three times with a revolver April 16 and died two days later. The corime was committed in the center of the town, but Abram- oft’s assassins, whose identity is un- known, escaped. hl\ ™A A I €H|NESE 'MINISTE| .

Washington, April 19.—Sir Chen- the Chinese minis- ter, is in trouble with this government jliccatze of a letter he wrote severely criticising - Representative Charles Denby of Michigan in connection with pending legislation on the exclusion law. He called Representative Denby a liar, in diplomatic language. The Chinese minister has violdted the pro- prieties by interfering in legislation pending in the country to which he is accredited, which is expressly forbid- den. Should Mr. Denby -make an official complaint there would be no recourse | for the state department except to de- mand that the Chinese government re- call Sir Liang Cheng. Mr. Denby, who was for six years in the Chinese service, during which time his father ‘was minister to China, is not disposed to make a complaint, but it is more than likely that the California repre- sentatives and others who are bitterly opposed to the Chinese will take the matter up and make an issue of it. Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, on April 8, wrote a letter to John Ford, secre: tary of the American Asiatic station, one of the foremost advocates ol let- ting down ‘the bars so far as Chinese immigration is concerned. Mr. Ford, in appearing before the committee on foreign affairs of the house, asked .to incorporate as a part of his remarks certain letters and data which he had in his possession. This permission was granted him and members were amazed when they found the letter from the Chinese minister incorporated as a part of a public document. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

The “train - dis- patcher had no telegraph wires oper- ating to San Francisco and no connec- tion could be had by telephone. A short time after the big shock came a message from Suisun, Solano county, saying. that a long section of| track had disappeared from view. It was learned later thiat at one place between Hprig and Teal stations in the Suisun marshes for a distance of one mile and a half.the track.hdd sunk down three to six feet and at an- other point nearly 1,000 feet of. track went out. Trains which were dis- patched for San Franecisco early in the morning bad to be brought back and they went to the Bay City by thé Lathrop route. It is feared that it will: take several weeks to repair thé collapsed track and, in the meantimé, all trains will be sent by the Stockton route. — There. are glut crevices on_each side of the track through the Suisun marshes and it is reported that a great ocean of water has flowed over the lowlands between Suisun and Beneell Father TLouis Martin, general of Jesuits, known as the “black pope,” is dead at Rome.
