•M»& WINNIPEG, March 7.—News of one of those tragedies of the wilds came to police attention today from Nepigon. It tells of the terrible end ing of two mail carriers whose duty it is to traverse the lonely trails of Che northland to outlying posts and camps. The middle of last week two mail carriers were reported missing at Port Arthur. Searching parties started '-:-. off- and, after traveling some distance, noticed the snow broken up. Around the trampled £now there was every evidence of an awful struggle having taken place. Here and there were blood splashes, and, brushing off a thin covering of snow, hands, feet and other portions of the bodies were ex posed. Four big wolves were found close by shot dead. The mall car- Tiers had sold their lives dearly and an investigation proved others had been wounded. Widening the search letters were picked up, also brass locks which fastened mail bags, the bags and leather straps had been de Toured. That was all that was found of the two mail carriers, one a white man and the other a half breed, or their 1 [jlltjS?.-.- mail-packages. *A reign of terror exists among the railway construction and survey camps and none dares leave the shel ter of tents or shacks at night. Wher ever there are human beings the un earthly chorus of howls continue the night long, the camps being girdled by packs of wolves. Even the bush wolf IMB lost his timidity and hunts in packs with the ferocious timber wolf. 'Contractors driving from towns east «f here have been chased into camp and only their rifles and horses have eared their lives.

ST. PAUL WILL HAVE EXPENSIVE LIBRARY ST. PAUL, March 7.—A new public library to cost not less than 1500,000 will be built on a block opposite Rice park. Announcement of the project was made at an enthusiastic meeting at the headquarters of the Association of Commerce. James J. Hill started the movement by stating his determination to build a reference library on the Market street side of this tract. Mr. Hill's proposition is to buy the ground for a reference library, put up the building and maintain it, the building to be a unit -of a general architectural scheme for the whole li brary. Of the $127,000 required to buy the land not now owned by the city, 130, 000 is believed to be available from the Greenleaf Clark fund of the library board.

C**lcic :«$ feEL :*.' BUILDING (IP OF AN Special to The Tribune. WASINGTON, D. C, March 7.—It 1» doubtful if there is any one subject pending before congress in which American trade is more vitally inter ested than the question of tolls on the Panama Canal which, in view of the opening of the "big ditch'* next year, must be speedily settled in or der that all nations may be advised in due season of the position taken by our government. There are now pending before con gress several bills which have their purpose the separation of the water carriers from the rail carriers. To be more explicit, it Is the purpose of tiese bills to prevent railroads from owning or controlling competing water lines, either directly or indirectly. An effort is being made to prevent the enactment of this legislation by trying to make it appear that, if such a bill is passed, it is doubtful whether there will be any American line3 of steamers engaged in traffic through the Panama canal. During the past week William R. Wheeler, representing the San Fran cisco chamber of commerce, D. O. Ives, the Boston chamber of com merce, N. B. Kelly, the Philadelphia chamber of commerce, and J. N. Teal, the Portland chamber of commerce, have appeared before committees of congress, the secretary of war and other officials and have urged with all the force and argument at their com mand the necessity of the legislation proposed while R. P. Schwerin vice president and general manager of the Pacific Mall Steamship company, and Maxwell Evarts general counsel of the Harriman lines, have been equally busy in opposing it. Mr. Joseph N. Teal, of Oregon, who has made transportation problems a study for many years, and who is looked upon as an authority upon the question of rail and water rates, said in the course of an interview upon the subject: "The principal opponents of this legislation—at least those who are most in evidence—are the representa tives of the Southern 'Pacific company which, through its ownership of a con trolling interest in the Pacific Mall Steamship company, operating from Panama to Pacific coast points, has for years done all in its power to el iminate not only water competition but the use of water for transporta tion. "One of the principles for which the National Rivers and Harbors con gress has continuously contended for essary to the purchase of the land work for the will be raised in less than a week. Mayor Keller believes the council and police board will gladly donate the land, intended for a new police station, for .library purposes. The building of the library will be by bond issue, but it will not add to the city debt, because the property of the city at Seventh and Wabasha streets, now used as a library build ing, will pay the itnerest and retire the bonds in thirty years. TWO BROKE JAIL WITH ONLY A SPOON MADISON. Wis., March «J.—Several days ago two prisoners from tbo county jail here made their escape. Sheriff Brown was surprised when Arthur Brown, a federal prisoner, held for forgery, told him that the cell doors were defective and that with the aid of a spoon he could get out at any time. The sheriff challenged him to show how the trick could be done. In the presence of a number of offi cials and members of he county board B'rown today made good his boast, and now the county board is ready to make an appropriation to renovate the Jail. BLAISDELL BUSY WITH CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS FARGO, March 7.—Hon. Alfred Blaisdell of Minot was a Fargo visit yesterday. Years ago Mr. Blalsiell lived in this city but after hetoadbeen admitted to the bar he hied him to Minot, where he has since shown in the poitical glare constantly illuminat ing the Magic City, he having no small part in causing the illumination. As a result of this the good people of that bailiwick gave Mr. Blaisdell the delegation from Ward county to the last convention which startled the state-juntil the Grand Forks perform ance—^and when the smoke had cleared away Alfred was en route home with the nomination for secre tary of state. He won out at the polls and won again two years later, when he gave over the pursuit of state of fice in a race for congress, in which he played a conspicuous part and had a good run for his money. Later, 'n a reminiscent mood, he retired to his library and -wrote of his experiences, which,/while not so extensive of those of Grant or Sherman, yet found many interested readers, who thereafter looked upon some kinds of politics with a new understanding of their In tricacies. During the past two years Alfred has been recuperating himself by hard BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE. years has been the elimination of this railroad control of competing water carriers and the securing for water transportation the position it deserves as an Instrumentality of com merce. I have no hesitancy in saying that every one who believes in the use of water for transportation pur poses should at this time, while this legislation is pending, use all his in fluence in its favor, for if it fails now it will be very difficult to secure its enactment in the future. "It Is a strange situation to find the Southern Pacific company en deavoring to secure this legislation, which It claims will enable it to com pete with itc^lf by sea but this is the position it claims to occupy and the condition is asks the people to accept. The Southern Pacific alleges that it is its purpose, through its con trol of the Pacific Mail Steamship line, to build four 18-knot vessels cost ing $12,000,000, which it expects to operate through the canal between New York and the Orient but it in sists that in order so to do it must at the same time engage in the coast wise trade between New York on the one hand and Los Angeles and San Francisco on the other, making these cities ports of call. "In view of the general desire to build up an American Mercchant Marine this is a very ingenious device by which to obscure the real purpose, which is to obtain the power to fix rates for transportation by water be tween the two coasts and thus be enabled to maintain transcontinental rail rates. It is obvious that the pro posed construction of these four large steamships is held out as a consola tion prize' to. those interested in the upbuilding of an American Merchant Marine, but anyone who is familiar with the history of railroad controlled steamship lines understands that the establishment of such a line Will pre vent investments by private owners in the building and operation of inde pendent lines. Even if anyone was foolish enough to establish an Inde pendent line it would speedily be driven out of business, as has happen ed in many similar cases before, for the railroad company would simply operate its boats* at a loss until the independent line was destroyed and then make back its lose-, by putting rates as high as it pleased. When the true inwardness of the bltuatlon is understood the proposition of the Southern Pacific company is not likely to be received with favor either by congress or the public." cost of those 500,000 sample ballots which never reached the voters, not to mention other ex penses devolving upon a man with Washington ambitions. Since that time, also, the legislature nas erected a barbed wire fence between Ward and Cass counties in the shape of a new congressional district, and with a good word and a glad smile for Pat Leslie, Joe and Nehemiah, Colonel Blaisdell has again launched a con gressional boom which is said to be heavily insured this time against breakage in transit through rough handling by the state or district com mittee. Blaisdell is a stayer and a fighter. So are the other four can didates for congress from the Third district, three of whom live in Minot, and the people of the other two dis tricts will watch the campaign with a great deal of Interest, all the candi dates being well known here, Nehe miah Davis like Mr. Blaisdell. having once lived in Fargo.
