Archie Whaley was a candidate in the primary election for the office of sheriff, but failed to get the required number of votes, J. M. Bayer winning the nomi-| nation. At the general election Whaley’s friends were busy and his name was written in on enough ballots to give him the election on the face of the returns. It is generally understood that the primary law provides thata person who has been a candidate at the primary election can not become a candidate atthe gen- eral election for the office pre- viously sought. On this gronnd the case was taken into court, and was heard by Judge Taylor. In along memerandum Judge Taylor recites the facts proven in the case holding that inas- much as the legality of the elec tion has not been questioned nor the legal qualifications of uhel voters, the minor part thatit was proven Sheriff-elect Whaley took | in the campaign will not deprive| him of the office to which he was elected. ! The holding is to the effect’ that the fact that the law pro- vides for blank spaces on the ballots is sufficient to sustain the election where Whaley’s name was written in by a majority of the voters. J. J, Opsahl, Beltrami county’s | member of the legislature, is re- ceiving many words of com mendation for his stand in re- fusing any overtures from the railroads, in the shape of free transportation. The Tenstrikei Tribune says of Mr. Opsahl’s’ actions in this matter: i “Hon. J. J. Opsahl, our repre-! sentative in the lower house has absolutely refused to ride on passes during his duties as legis- lator. He was tendered passes; against the issuing of passes by railway companies, and he in- tends to strictly live up to the issues he was elected on. Mr. Opsahl goes to the legislature in the interest of the people of his district and does not want his hands tied down in any way by any railway company or corpora- tion as he is there to do what he thinks is right and just and for the best interests of the district he represents. He does not go to the legislature as a foe of the railway companies either, and believes in fair treatment of rail- ways and corporations, Mr. Opsahl is the right man in the right place.” Duluth News-Tribune: A glance over a Bemidji daily 1s usually productive of a wish to see the northern Minnesota town that can support a newspaper like that. TAKEN BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. Foraker Objects to Evidence Against Negro Troops. Washington, Jan. 15.—Immediately after the reading of the president’s message on the Brownsville incident in the senate Mr. Foraker discussed the subject briefly. He sald he was not going to make a speech, “but a few remarks,” and observed that the testimony amounted to a great deal, “for the president tells us it is con- tlusive. But it does not remove the sbjectlon I have had from the begin- aing of this proceeding. “What I have been trying to con- lend for, and I hope it will be success- Iul, is to secure a hearing for the men charged with this serious crime. This testimony has been taken as the other was, behind closed doors, with- out anybody representing the men. “That is the reason I shall not de- sist, notwithstanding what the pres- ident has said as to the character of it, from pressing for an investigation of the subject where especially the men who are charged with the crimes of murder, perjury and conspiracy can be heard to the end that if they can establish any facts in their favor they may have an opportunity to do so.” Mr. Foraker added that he should reserve his discussion of the new evi- dence submitted by the president un- til after the investigation, if we shall order one, “to be made in accordance with the spirit of American institu- tions,” where every man, no matter how humble he may be, shall have an opportunity to be heard.” After that investigation, Mr. For- aker said, he should have something to say about the present testimony. Later in the day Senator Mallory of Florida, addressing the senate on the Brownsville affair, remarked that in his opinivn the proposed senatorial in- vestigation would amount to nothing. The evidence that negro soldiers shot up the town was sufficlent, he said, to secure a verdict of gullty by any im- partial jury.

POLICE FIGHT TERRORISTS BLOODY BATTLES OF NIGHTLY OCCURRENCE AT THE RUS- aload of logs, and had lumber SIAN CAPITAL. 8t. Petersburg, Jan. 15.—The police here, who are conducting a series of arrests in house searches as the result of the information obtained from the recently captured documents, are hav- ing almost nightly battles. with the terrorists and fighting legion organi- zations of revolutionists. During the night there were two affrays, in which the police had one man killed and a leutenant, a sergeant and a patrol- man wounded. The most serious af- fair occurred in the most respectable quarter on Basil street, a short dis- tance from the scene of the bomb ex- plosion of Jan. 11. A detachment of police, which attempted to storm a suspected dwelling, was met with con- tinuous volleys from revolvers and rifles 'and was finally compelled to withdraw with the loss of three men. A force of cavalry was summoned and after three voMeys the revolutionists surrendered. An attack on a house occupied by revolutionists of St. Pe- tersburg island was repulsed, a police- man being wounded, and the garrison escaped in the darkness before the arrival of troops which had been sum: moned. SUBMARINE EARTHQUAKE. Seismograph at Apia Registers Severe Disturbance. San Francisco, Jan. 16.—A quaking of the earth’s crust, more severe than any oneé that has ever been recorded, is reported to have been felt at Apla, Samoa, Dec. 21, according to a report brought from there by the Australian liner Ventura, just arrived here. For three hours the seismograph of the German sclentists stationed at the South Pacific island recorded a shock that for violence has never been equaled so far as has been registered. It is estimated that the center of the disturbance was 900 miles south of Apla. The news of the instrument’s record was brought to the Ventura by Captain Allen of the Maori, the boat that runs between Pago Pago and Apia. The point of disturbance was submarine. BATTLE FOR BAILEY ESTATE. Nieces of Deceased Circus Man After Share of $2,000,000. ‘White Plains, N. Y., Jan. 156.—A le gal struggle for the possession of the $2,000,000 estate left by James A Bailey, the circus proprietor, began before Surrogate Millard here during ihe day. Under Mr. Bailey’s will the entire estate goes to his widow, Ruth Louise Bailey, who also is made sole executrix. The instrument is being contested by Mr. Bailey’s nieces, May Gordon and Annie Robinson, both of Detroit. They contend that at the time the will was drawn Mr. Bailey was of unsound mind and that he was moved in disposing of his property by undue influence, misrepresentation and fraud. LIKELY TO BE PROBED SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST HER- BERT PEIRCE, NOW MINIS- TER TO NORWAY. ACCEPTED FEE FROM VESSEL OWNERS ACTED AS ATTORNEY WHILE REP- RESENTING AMERICA AT HAGUE TRIBUNAL. Washington, Jan. 15.—Sensational charges against Herbert H. D. Peirce, United States minister to Norway, who was formerly the third assistant secretary of state, were made before the house committee on ways and means during the day by Professor H. ‘W. Elliott of Cleveland, O., in connec- tion with a hearing on a resolution for the further protection of fur seals on the high seas. Professor Elliott stated that while Mr. Peirce was representing the Unit- ed States government 'before The Hague tribunal in the settlement of claims growing out of the seizure of the sealing vessel J. Hamilton Lewis by the Russian government on the charge of piracy he also represented the owners of the vessel and even instituted action in the United States district court for the District of Co- lumbia to insure the payment of his fee out of the money awarded to the vessel owners. Charges to~Be Looked Into. Representatives Champ Clark and John Sharp Williams questioned Mr. Elliott carefully about the charge and said that it reflected so seriously upon the administration that it must be looked into carefully. The chief purpose of Professor Elli- ott in appearing before the committee, he explained, was to have the United States annul the lease of the sealing privileges on the Pribiloff islands which it has granted to the North American Commercial company. He stated to the committee that the offi- cers of the company perjured them- selves when they obtained the lease, as they swore they. were not engaged in pelagic sealing. In spite of this oath, he says, they equipped the J. Hamilton Lewis, in command of Cap- tain Alexander McClain,” which Pro- fessor Elliott alleges was rightfully seized by the Russian government. This seizure was in 1901 and Mr. Elli. ott made the statement that Mr. Peirce’s activity in collecting a fee from the vessel owners was in 1903. NO INCREASE IN SALARIES. Senate Strikes Out House Provision in Legislative Bill. ‘Washington, Jan. 15.—When the legislative bill was taken up in: the senate Senator Gallinger, who had given notice of an amendment increas- ing the salaries of senators and mem- bers of the house, remarked that be- cause of the intention of some sen- ators to make a point of order against the amendment he should not present it, but rely on separate legislation to accomplish this purpose. Mr. Dubois regretted that nothing wag to be done. He was one of the senators who lived on his salary and knew the difficulty of so doing. A number of senators delivered lectures, he sald, in order to make the neces- sary addition to. their senatorial sal- arfes. The notice given by Senator Gallinger is taken as an indication that no action to raise congressional salaries will he successful at present, The senate committee’s amendment striking out the house provision in- creasing the salaries of the vice pres- ident, speakerof the house and cab- inet members was agreed to. - WORRYING THE KAISER. Bociallsts Making Much Headway In Germany. Berlin, Jan. 15.—The campaign of the Socialists apparently is making headway and in official circles it is stated that the kaiser is worried. The Bocialists are confident of victory, but they are not permitting their cam- paign to lag. They are well supplied with money and are contesting 393 out of the 397 election districts in the empire. The government adherents are using the foreign bugaboo in their campaign, but it seemingly is having little effect. The contrasts between the - candi- dates in some of the districts is strik- Ing. In Gotha a Soclalist shoemaker is running against the hereditary prifice, nephew by marriage of King Edward. . In another district a So- cialist miller is contesting against one of the kaiser’s favorites. The Socialists are using arguments against the great incresse in army and navy expenditures, but their strongest point apparently with the electors {s that which they make against the increased power the kaiser exercises in governing the empire. 4 FRIEND TO FRIEND The personal recommendations of peo ple who have been cured of coughs and colds by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy have done more than all else to make it a staple article of trade and commerce over a large part of the civilized world.

OPPOSED TO NODIFICATION CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMEN TO FIGHT EFFORTS TO AMEND EXCLUSION LAW. ‘Washington, Jan. 15.—The house committee on foreign affairs granted a hearing during the day to Represen- tatives Kahn, McKinley and Hayes, all of California, the committee named by Pacific coast representatives to oppose efforts to modify the Chinese exclusion act and to work for a Japanese exclu- sion act. It was stated by the Cali- fornians that they will fight vigorous- 1y the bill under consfderation by the committee to amend the Chinese ex- clusion act by having inspection of Chinese at ports in China from which they sail, as well as in the American ports where they land. The Califor- nians object to the bill chiefly be- cause it is a revision of the act and they resent any revision or change, as they fear that it will lead to a further relaxation of the exclusion act. APPEALS TO COMMISSION.
