It is rare that a crime of a more ag gravated character is committed than that at Wahpetou, Dak., the past week, which drove good citizens to become avengers. A young girl of unsullied life, who was esteemed and beloved by till who knew her, is, without warning, Bitot dead by an officer of the law, whose special duty it was to protect the per sons of citizens, and stand as a bulwark lit the way of those who would commit violence or trample the law under foot. The young girl was at the time in the discharge of her wonted domestic avo cations when brutally assaulted by the fiendish embodiment* bad passions, lie was gently but firmly repulsed, as there was reason to believe he had beer, more than once before. The girl but asserted her right to purity and in tegrity, and did honor to her woman hood. There was nothing in the cir cumstances to furnish a shadow of pal liation for the wanton and brutal act of her slayer. It was cruel, premeditated murder. It is not surprising that the indignation that must have pervaded every heart culminated in the taking of the murderer from his cell and hanging hi: This is to be regretted— more so from the fact that the guilt was so palpable. There was no question as to the facts, and no pitiful plea could have ■misinterpreted them and defeated the ends of justice. The frequent excuse for lynching, that the methods of the law are so honeycombed with avenues of ' escape that the guilty wretch would be likely to evade his just deserts, was not plausible in this case. Unless the administration of the law in Dakota is utterly worthless this ruthless assassin would have met the same fate under the forms of the law. It is claimed, and believed, that courts are as honest and efficient in Dakota as in any of" the states. In.no part of the country are there more intelligent people or better r 'tizens than in the county of Richland. ?...■}- would repel any imputation upon their law-abiding character, and there has been no allegation that' the'ma chinery of the law was defective or the administration too feeble to insure the j punishment of crime. Yet this is the impression that will go abroad as- the result of their act. It will be assumed that'; Wahpeton is in a newly settled region, without established so ciety and. 'orderly reliance upon' the machinery of the law for the pun ishment of crime and vindication of justice. It is a bad advertisement to send abroad, and without justification in the judicial administration' of that part of the territory, however it might be in some of the remote frontier settle ments. Every story of violence and popular turbulence sent broadcast upon the wires from Dakota affords encour agement to those interested in building up other communities at the expense of the territory. Vigilance committees and mobs are only tolerable where the administration of the law is corrupt or inefficient, and the safety of the com munity can only be conserved by an ex hibition of popular indignation that will strike terror to the hearts of law etchers. This is not the case in Dakota. * ■■» ROCHESTER AND RED WING. Yesterday- was a great day for the Democrats of the First and Third dis tricts. As was anticipated, Judge Wil son was renominated for congress in the First district and Judge Mac Do nald in the Third, both by acclamation and both deserving the unanimous in dorsement they received. The resolu tions adopted by thp Rochester conven tion will prove exceedingly interesting reading to the Hoif. Mark Dunnell; not that he is not familiar with the facts therein recited, but they are revived at a time when most of all he would prefer to keep them from public view. Plac ing his record alongside of the brilliant iecord made by Judge Wilson in this congress leaves no room for doubt as to Judge Wilson's re-election. The demonstration at Red Wing yes terday exceeded anything of the kind in Democratic politics ever kiio*gu in Goodhue county. Just as it was at Rochester, the spirit of harmony pre vailed at Red Wing, and the enthusiasm was a revelation to the people of that locality who were not accustomed to Democratic revivals. The mass meeting at the opera house in the evening was an enormous affair, and every word that fell from the lips of the distin guished speakers found a lodging place in the hearts of the people who were honestly in search of truth. It is evi dently going to be a walk-over for Judge Mac Donald in that district; and, if the feeling which was mani fested at Red Wine yesterday pervades the whole state, there is no reason why Minnesota may not be counted in the Cleveland, Thurman and reform column. ■■<*■ ALASKA. Alaska is such a far-away territory that we are only occasionally reminded that it ie a part of this great republic. The report of the governor of Alaska for the fiscal year 1887, just issued from the government printing office at Wash ington, recalls the fact that Alaska is still a part of our national domain, and that it is capable of sustaining some thills'- else besides icebergs. Gov. Swineford reports the total popula tion of the territory to be 39,800. Of this number 5.000 are whites, 1,800 Creoles, 3,000 Aluets, 2,500 civilized natives and 27,500 uncivilized natives. There are no fee simple titles in the whoie ter ritory, except twenty town lots in Sitka, and consequently there is very little revenue derived from the taxation of real estate. The personal property tax is comparatively insignificant, and yet Gov. Swineford thinks that by proper legislation the tax roll might be made to reach $10,000,000. The commerce of Alaska the past year was considerable, amounting to nearly $7,000,000. The fur trade yielded $2,500,000, the fisheries $3,000,000, lumber and ivory $100,000, and a million and a half dollars' worth of gold was mined. The governor thinks > that the output of gold will be trebled, and possibly quadrupled, during the present year. And yet, with the excep tion of the fur trade, all the natural re sources of Alaska are in the in fancy of development. Her fish eries are practically inexhausti ble; the prospective wealth of her almost inexhaustible forests can not be overestimated; an agricultural and horticultural development will come in time; while in her shaggy breasted mountains is found nearly every variety of mineral adapted to the wants of mankind and commerce. Taken altogether, Alaska has a glowing future before her, notwithstanding the popular impression that nature had frozen the country up and forgot to thaw it out. Doran as a Ross. Minneapolis Star-News. Undoubtedly the liberal and progressive element in the Democratic party fully agress with Mr. Hall, but it is destined to meet with obstacles in the . prescriptive, hide-bound leadership of Mr. Doran. Men of Doran's narrow partisan stripe would rather see the party defeated than to see its ranks enlarged by progressive and brainy men who would make short work of hauling him from his stool of bossism. The Democratic party will never carry Minnesota so long as it tolerates Mike Doran as its boss. ~tSm Out and Out Bolters. Minneapolis Star-News. The Doran and Kelly crowd, which held a pretended county convention in St. Paul Saturday are rank out and out bolters. There was no pretense that the delegates had been elected by the mass of voters. They ere simply self-constituted. If the Democratic state convention admits a delegation thus elected by such a body, it might as well abandon the party organization in the state. It must be an edifying spectacle to President Cleveland to see Minnesota's representative on the national Democratic committee figur ing as a bolter. * V-' '> A Chicago View. Chicago Mail. - In the primaries in St. Paul, Kelly and Doran. the "Me and Mike" combine, were completely routed by the "city hall gang." The whole city was thrown into the lap of Albert Scheffer. who is a candidate for gov ernor before the Republican state conven tion, w'l . *it>. STABBING AFFRAY. State Senator Moservy, of lowa, Injured in a Row. '7 7 7~- Dcs Moines, 10., Apg. I.— Word come from Cherokee that State Senator i Meservy, who had returned home from the investigation of university troubles, was stabbed three times in a personal encounter, which was bred in a Re publican caucus Monday night.

Tehe debris cleany shows it to have been) of incendiary origin. *-. VW : Victim of a Thunderbolt. Special to the Globe. . Hastings, Minn., Aug. I.— John Con way, son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Con way, was killed by lightning at Rose-, mount during the storm of Monday night. He was buried to-day from St. Joseph's church at 10 a. m., the remains ' being interred at Inver Grove cemetery. THE MINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 2, 1888. BEGIN TO_WEAKEN. The Indian Commissioners Are Feeling Somewhat Hopeful. Sitting" Bull Addresses the Indians—His Speech Ex ceedingly Tame. Two Youngsters Attempt to Wreck a Rock Island Train. Mysterious Disappearance of an Aged Citizen of Dubuque. * Special to the Globe. : Standing Rock, Dak., Aug. I.— There is no change in the situation at the agency. The conference to-day was simply an exercise in catechism, the In dians propounding questions to the com missioners and the commissioners an swering and explaining. Many of the Indians were absent, . and Chairman Pratt asked the four chiefs -where the absentees were. In doing so he re minded the chiefs that they said they represented all of the Indians, and, if so, why did they not have their tribes present. The chiefs answered that some of the Indians were very tired of stand ing in council and were resting in their camps, while others were HUNTING FOR THEIR HORSES which have strayed away. Sitting Bull has not spoken to the commissioners, but he made a speech to the Indians in council, advising them to come to an understanding at, once and get back to their farms, as their crops are suffering while they are kept at the agency. His speech was very moderate and did not contain the fire that was expected. After telling the Indians to come to an understand ing at once he advised thenf not to weaken in their decision simply because THE COMMISSIONERS REMAINED. Among the questions asked by the commissioners was . V* "Do you believe the secretary of the interior is lying to you when he. tells you that it is right and just for you to sign one of these papers, the one mean ing yes, or the one meaning no?" The Indians were also asked if they thought the commissioners were lying to them. To these questions the Indians made no reply, but persisted in talking about the treaties of 1808 and 1870. The Indians insist that the boundary lines of their reservation, as shown by the maps distributed by the commission, ARE NOT THE SAME as described in the old treaties. On this point Louis Agaard, a Frenchman, and William Halsey, a half-breed, who have been among the Indians for many years, and who are looked upon by the Indians as their friends, made speeches The remarks of these men were a great surprise not only to the half-breeds who have understood that they were opposed to the treaty, but to the Indians whose confidence they have enjoyed. They INFORMED THE INDIANS. that the boundary lines marked on the map by the government are correct, and that the whites had taken only the land that belonged to them. The Indi ans frequently interrupted these speak ers and expressed their surprise and disgust at their arguments in favor of the whites. The attitude of Halsey and Agaard has convinced many that the Indians may sign, as they have friends in all the tribes, and have an influence which may work for the irood of the whites. The Indians have taken the treaties of 1868 and 1876 to their camps to-night and will HOLD A BIG COUNCIL. It is thought that at their council to night they will come to a final decision, and that to-morrow may end the con ference. To-day's conference lasted but two hours, and the commissioners ad journed until to-morrow at 9 . o'clock. Sitting Bull seems to fear that the Indians are weakening, and will do all in his power to hold them to their decision, not to sign. Until to-day there was no hope of having the Indians sign either for or against the treaty, but it now looks as though they will sign in the negative. They have been informed that the commissioners will not leave until they sign one of the papers, and ,-,: ■;*, THEY MAY CONSENT to sign no. - Some of the people at the agency, have hopes that they will at last consent to the opening of the res ervation, but there is no good ground for that belief at preset. The next two days will be interesting as it is expected that the conference will close on Friday. GOV. CHURCH'S INFLUENCE. Gov. Church and Auditor Ward left the agency this morning en route to Bismarck. The governor's speech to the Indians had a good . effect, as they believe he is nearly the president, and have confidence in what he says. Several parties deeply interested in the opening of the reserva tion have been here during the past few days, and are doing all in their power to convert the In dians. It is reported that a runner from the Pine Ridge agency, with a message from Red Cloud to Sitting Bull, arrived to-day, and that the message is a strong appeal to the Indians to remain in their opposition to the treaty. If this be true there can be little hope of . arriving at a favorable understanding to-morrow, as the Indians have great respect for Red Cloud's judgment in matters of this character. There can be no doubt of the fact that the warriors of the tribes are in constant communication with each other, and that they have a definite understanding among themselves. The Indians say that the orators at to-night's council will be Running Antelope, Gall, Mad Bear and Sitting Bull. MIGHT AS WELL GO HOME. Special to the Globe. Rapid city, Dak., Aug. Well-in formed parties here laugh at the cred ulity of persons who quote Little Chief and Standing Elk as head chiefs of the Sioux nation. Both are confirmed loaf ers. The impression prevails here that no Indians whatever will sign the ces sion, yes or no. Sitting Bull and Red Cloud have been in constant communi cation for months aud have their plans well matured. The contemptuous treat ment of the commission at Standing Rock agency shows how well these plans are working. Traders, squaw men and half-breeds are solid against the treaty. People here who know think the commission might as well go home at once. ANXIOUS FOR FUN. Two Small Boys Attempt to Wreck a Train on the Rock Island. Special to the Globe. Dcs Moines, To.. Aug. I.— A couple of boys named Golden, living on Rac coon street, in East Dcs Moines, con cluded to get up a little tragedy, so they went out on the Rock Island track about seven miles and tried to wreck a train by placing obstructions on the track, they then started back, and the section hands met them and soon after j discovered the obstructions. Word was i sent to town, and Detective .Johnson I and the special detectives of the road j succeeded in capturing them. They at first denied it, but afterwards confessed I and showed the officers how they did it. The boys are ten and twelve years old. Roasted Meats. Special to the Globe. - 70007 Ciiatfikld, Minn., Aug. 1.--At 19 o'clock last night broke out in the rear * of L. Bauer's meat market, on Main street, and before, help could be sum- I moned was beyond control.; The mar ket was entirely consumed with most of 'its contents. Mr. Bauer's books were saved*; Brick buildings on either side of the one burned prevented 4he flamed i from spreading.- The fire was of in- , cendiary origin. The loss on stock and. building is about 12,000, fully covered by insurance. AN OLD MAN MISSING.'- W^V ] Disappearance ol' an Aged. Resi dent of Dubuque. Special to the Globe. - Dubuque. 10., Aug. I.— The myste rious disappearance of one of the oldest residents in this county has produced a sensation. Monday afternoon the aged father of Dr. Watson wandered from home, went across the river on the ferry, and when last seen was sitting on a box , on the platform of the " Burlington I depot, about 4 o'clock. All traces of him after that have been lost. The old man was ninety-one years of age and childish, and was accustomed to take walks about the city, wandering at will. Two days' search has failed to find his whereabouts. The opinion prevails that [ his body will be found in the river. parricide! A Son Slays His Father Without Any Apparent Provocation. " Bridgewater, Aug. I.— Thomas Jennings, a farmer living six miles north of this place, was fatally shot by his son, John Jennings, yesterday after noon. The son had always driven a certain team, but being a little slow in his actions, the father concluded to drive the team himself. The young man went into the house and procured his revolver. He appeared and asked: "Who is going to drive that team?" The old man replied "It looks juSI now as though I was." Without further re mark the son shot the father just below the heart. Mr. Jennings lived about twelve hours after the shooting. The young man went to "Bridgewater and delivered himself up. He was theu taken to Salem, as a lynch ing bee was talked of. The coroner is at present holding an inquest. The murder was cold-blooded and with out any provocation. The murderer is about twenty-three years of age. He expresses no regret' for the foul deed he has committed, and threats of lynching is the only thing that has thus far given the brute any concern in the matter. OTTER TAIL DEMOCRATS. Boss Rule Condemned and a Strong Ticket Placed in the Field. Special to the Globe. Fergus Falls, Minn., Aug. I.— The Democratic county convention held in this city to-day was attended by nearly every delegate in the county, who were entitled to a seat. J. F. Cowie. chairman of the county committee called the convention to order and read the call. Officers were then elected and the different committees appointed. Resolutions were adopted indorsing the Democratic platform and having confidence in the national standard bearers of the party. It. endorsed the passage of the Mills bill and the action of Hon. Knute Nelsen for the fearless ■ attitude he assumed in support of said bill. The action of a few men in the party in trying to dic tate to the Democracy of this state whom they shall place in nomination for any office was con demned. The convention then nomi nated and placed in the field a strong ticket, and one-, that is bound to win. Perfect harmony and good feeling pre vailed throughout the meeting. SENT TO REFORM SCHOOL.

Wanted Higher Wages. Special to the Globe. West Superior, Wis., Aug. I.— One hundred and fifty men in the employ of the Eastern railway here struck this morning for an advance in wages from $1.50 to $1.75. About noon twenty-five men employed by C. S.

W Special to the Globe. • ' Winona, Aug. Mrs. Lena Waech tor seems to have lost what little reason she had. Her husband deserted her in Connecticut and came- to Winona with a young girl, with whom he lived and ran a millinery store for a year. His wife followed him here and . made trouble. Waechter was ordered to leave the girl and went to Milwaukee. Mrs. Waechter a day or two ago wrote to him that if he would come here and give her 5250 she would agree to a divorce. He snapped at the offer and came. She met him on the street this noon, up braided him for his desertion, and de manded that he should accompany her back to Connecticut. On his refusal, she seized him and tried to drag him along. The police interfered, and: she was locked up. It is believed that her troubles have destroyed her reason. ] S SILVER IN PLENTY. Big Falls' Mineral Properties Are Apparently Worth Developing. Special to the Globe. i Eau Claire, Wis., Aug. I.— Assays of ore from the Big Falls mineral prop erties, made yesterday at St. Paul, show respectively 8320 and $400 silver to the ton. No assays are now being made for gold. The $400 assay is over twenty times as rich as the best obtained from the old point of operations, which was adrift straight into the bluff overlooking the Eau Claire river at Big Falls. All the operations are now directed to the new finds. The questions now remaining to be settled are whether the ore bodies broaden downwards or pinch out, and whether the quartz can be handled and the silver materialized with an expenditure which would leave the necessary profit. These questions can soon be answered, as the work will be vigorously pushed. BURGLARS CAUGHT. Arrest of a Gang of Thieves at Duluth, and Considerable Plun der Recovered. Special to the Globe. .

Upon searching the premises of the thieves a number of razors, revolvers and other stolen property was discovered. The gang has annoyed the authorities for some time by petty thefts and burglar ies.

How Far Shall the Commission Be Allowed to Go in Their VFW Investigation? LOxdox, Aug. I.— The debate on the Parnell commission bill was resumed in the house of commons this evening. Mr. Balfour said that Mr. Matthew's speech of last night contained what the government had stated all along. Sir Lyon Playfair contended that Mr. Matthews enormously widened the scope of the bill. Mr. Matthews now stated that the inquiry was into the organization which induced crime, whereas the Liberals had been led to believe that the bill was for the purpose of enabling certain members to clear their characters. Mr. Bradlaugh declared that Mr. Matthews had made out ax ARSOLUTELY XEW CASE. Mr. Chamberlain reiterated that he would have been glad If the range of the proposed inquiry had been limited, but he had never suggested a limit re garding persons. Mr. Gladstone said that the govern ment's agreement had been entirely and absolutely changed. Mr. Balfour said that Mr. Gladstone, on the eve of an inquiry, had pro nounced THE LETTERS FORGERIES. Mr. Gladstone— said I was justified in concluding that there was a motive for the remarkable way in which the letters were thrown Into the shade. Mr. Reid offered an amendment that the commission inquire into the charges only so far as they bear upon charges and allegations against members of the house. Mr. Sexton— inclusion of outside persons in the- INQUIRY WAS IRRELEVANT Mr. Smith's friend, Mr. Walter, had not wished others than members in cluded until he saw that the only chance of escaping disgrace and ■? averting the ruin of the Times was to get a roving inquiry regarding persons over whom members had no control. Mr. Matthews said the inquiry was not into the conduct of members, but into their capacity as members of an outside oroanizatiox. Mr. O'Donnell, in a published state ment, had said that Frank Byrne was only the agent of guiltier and wickeder persons. *T. P. O'Connor— Does the gentle man insinuate that O'Donnell meant us? ["Cries of order "and hear."] The speaker called Mr. O'Connor to order. . :*.- Mr. Mathews said his remarks con veyed an insinuation against no one. Sir William Harcourt said the opposi tion was at last beginning to detect the real meaning of the bill. Its object was not to give the Parnellites a chance to clear themselves, but to inquire into a POLITICAL organization; Mr.Healy said he believed thecharges in th.- bill were the result of Mr. Wal ter's visit to Mr. Smith. Mr. Balfour admitted that the cabinet, at its meeting on July 11, had decided to include the words "and others.". If Mr. Smith in announcing to the house the refer ence of tlie matter to a commission did not read those words it was doubtless "due to inadvertence. The omission of the words when Mr. Smith announced the commission deserved the censure of the house. An animated debate was continued for some time, when the chairman inter posed and advised a CESSATIOX OF RECRIMINATIONS. The amendment was rejected by a vote of 241 to 194. Mr. Goschen said that Mr. Smith was absent, owing to a domestic affliction. Tne bills were not passed. To-morrow evening he would remove the remainder of. the clauses. The Parnellits will meet to-morrow to take action in the matter of the clauses. EMIN BEY HEARD FROM. Messengers Arrive at Zanzibar Bearing Unfavorable News. Special Cable to the Globe. Loxdof, Aug. I.— Dispatches from Zanzibar state that two native messen gers who were captured from one of the earlier expeditions by tribes in the Ugandi district, bordering on the Albert Nyanza, and escaped last April, have arrived there. They report that the situation of Emm Bey is very diffi cult, provisions being scarce and the feeling of discouragement among his troops very great. In April Emm received a summons from the mahdi, dated at Khartoum, to surrender or disband his followers. He also received a letter from Lupton Bey, advising him to submit to the niandi's terms in order to save the lives of the Europeans at Khartoum and Wadelai. Tlie reported advance of the Mahdi's forces being confirmed, Emm decided to surprise him. He considered the Lupton letter a forgery, and the non arrival of Stanley disturbed him greatly. Emm was then in receipt of reports that Stanley was hemmed in between the Mabada country and the Albert Nyanza, and also that he had been compelled to divert his course to an unknown route.
