Gladstone Overthrows the

Midnight.
He Gets a Clean Majority of
Forty on the Motion of
•'No Confidence."
the Excitement in the House
of Commons the Greatest
in Many Years.
Salisbury to Resign Today--
New Ministry to Be Formed
Saturday.
I.oxpox, Aue. 11.— The division in
the house of commons tonight on the
motion of Mr. Heibert Henry Asquith
(Gladstonian). member for the East di
vision of Fifesbire, of "no confidence"
in the government, was carried by a
vote of 350 to 810. The scene in the
house during this evening's final debate
and decisive vote on the address has not
been equaled in interesting and
exciting features since the sim
ilar crisis of the home - rule
debate in INS.), when Mr. Gladstone,
now victorious, was overthrown. Every
inch of available space on the floor was
occupied and some of the members had
to find seats in the galleries and even to
6peak from those elevated and distant
positions. Every English member was
present, and the total number of ab
seutes was only thirteen. The visitors
•who crowded the outsiders' galieries
were well repaid for their at
tendance by witnessinir one of
Ihe peaceful revolutions by which En
gland overthrows one set of rulers and
sets up another. Though Herbert Glad
stone declares that his father has fully
Recovered His ££ealtli,
and that the stories of his weakness are
inventions of malicious political ene
mies, and though the British Medical
Journal, on the authority of Sir Andrew
Clarke, states that Mr. Gladstone is
Eound in body and mind and able to
work as any man of his age, nev
ertheless the aged statesman today
looked pale and distressed and
sank into his seat as though exhausted.
He was nervous and irritable. Th«
light from the opposite windows an
noyed him, his eyes being still weak
from the effects of the injury sustained
to ohe of them during the campaign in
[Scotland. At a signal from him the at
tendants closed the windows and drew
the curtains. During most of the de
bate Mr. Gladstone listened with his
eyes closed, keeping his hand to his ear
in attention to what was being said.
Mr. Chamberlain never came so near to
losing control as in his rage at the tac
tics employed by Tim Ilealy to prevent
him from delivering a speech. The
Brummagem statesman's lace was al
most livid. He heaped denunciations
upon Healy's head. Ilealy smiled sar
donically, burying most of the diatribe,
but when Chamberlain declared that
Ilealy was a person that would insult
any man, and then, pausing, added
With. Offensive Kmphasls,
"or any woman," the face of the Irish
member underwent a sudden change
and became livid with suppressed rage.
The Tories yelled with delight at Cham
berlain's home thrust, and kept up the
shouting until they were hoarse. After
Chamberlain's speech he and Lord
Randolph Churchill were seen chat
ting together in the lobby— the first time
they have been known to converse
in years. The Tories were plainly
Chagrined at their failure to extort
replies from the Liberals. The latter
were content to do very little talking
and to rely upon their votes. When the
speaker rose to put the question on Mr.
Asquith's motion he was answered with
a thunderous volume of ayes and noes
from the respective sides of the house.
The strangers having withdrawn from
the precincts of the chamber, the
speaker repeated the usual formula ot
putting the question, and was again
greeted with sustained ana vehement
replies. The house
Divided at midnight
When Mr. Gladstone returned from
the lobby the whole liberal- party rose
and cheered him. The tellers appeared
at 12:25 a. m. with the paper containing
the numbers showing the result of the
division, and handed the paper to Ar
nold Morley. the Liberal whip. This
was the signal for a volley of Liberal
cheers, ami liisli shouts of "Mitchehj
town." "Down with l>alfyuri.sm, r '
etc., and it was some time be
fore Mr. Morley was able to
announce the figures. The result
announced was "for the motion, 350;
against the motion, 310." Then there
was a fresh display of enthusiasm. The
noise Having subsided. Mr. Balfour and
the whole body ot Conservatives rose,
and, amid prolonged acclaims, Mr. Bal
four moved that the house adjourn
until Thursday next. The motion was
agreed to. If tonight's proceedings in
parliament had not been invested with
the historic interest attached to
the fall of the government, the house
would not have tolerated the protracted
dullness of the debate after Mr. Cham
berlain spoke. But for some minor
members of the opposition seizing a
chance to get a hearing the house would
have divided before the dinner hour.
The gravity of the occasion was seen in
the crowds waiting in the palace yard
till past midnight, the groups filling
the lobbies and
Packed in the Galleries
within the house. For the first time
Eince the night in lsoo, when Mr. Glad
stone first introduced home rule, chairs
bad to be brought in to seat the mem
bers blocked out of the galleries. For
the first time in the history of the Brit
ish parliaments did the members muster
their full strength witliin thirteen
The peers' galleries were well
occupied. The diplomatic gal
lery was so full that Messrs
Lincoln, the American minister, and
Hatsfeldt, the German ambassador, who
arrived iate, found seats with some diffi
culty. As the night wore on, members
Rot restless and interrupted every
speaker with cries of "Divide, divide "
They wandered wearily in and out of
{he house and sent protests to the whips
for a vote wit hoik delay. But the
whips' difficulty was that tnere were
several members who were unable
to arrive until 11 o'cloelr, and
the house had to be kept going under a
mutual arrangement till midnight. In
the lo iby men beguiled the tedium by

votes that the division would show \t

commenced. The tellers for the amend
ment were Messrs. Arnold, Morley and
Majoribanks, and those for the govern
ment were Mr. A leers-Douglas and Sir
William Walrond.
The Cabinet
lias been summoned to meet at noon
tomorrow (Friday), and Lord Salisbury
will leave at 1 p. m. for Osborne house.
Alter formally resigning Lord Salisbury
will remain at Osborne for the night.
Mr. Gladstone will see the queen
Saturday. The representative of the
Associated Press learns definitely that
Sir William Vernon Ilarcourt has ac
cepted the post of chancellor of the ex
chequer in the new cabinet. Mr. Glad
stone, haseooied down toward his tormcr
favorite, Mr. Fowler, owing to the
tatter's want of energy during the
electoral period.
When the debate on the address in
reply to the queen's speech was resumed
in the afternoon Joseph Chamberlain,
the leader of the Liberal-Unionists,
took the floor. Mr. Chamberlain said
that the Liberal-Unionists' influence
was not measured by their numbers. In
parliament they remained an undoubted
political force not less fed by their oppo
nents callinir them political apostates or
an ill-starred abortion, lie agreed that
the issue between the Unionists and
Home Rulers had been decided for a
time by the country, but, when Mr.
Gladstone went on to say that it was
irrelevant to do anything more than
expel the government, without asking
what would follow, he must protest.
The coming government has been
rightly described as a nebular hypoth
esis. It was so for the Unionists. Mr.
Gladstone was not consistent, for, while
refusing to explain his policy, he gve

Was it not hard measures when 315
Unionists must not ask a single ques
tion, aud the Nationalists could ask five
and tret civil answers to them? Nowa
days powerful telescopes tried nebular
bodies to disciose their secrets and re
solved them into component atoms.
Mr. McCarthy must have the most
powerful of these instruments.
Mr. Kedmond must wish to bor
row it. [Laughter.] The present
situation was unparalleled in Eng
li.-li political history. Hitherto a vote
of want of confidence in the government
implied conlidenc in the party replac
ing them. The present opposition, if
intact, could put the government in a
minority of -10. but the new government
might Bud itself in a minority of 100 at
almost the first breath of its existence.
It was a strange position, so the oppo
sition strove to stifle debate. What
was the foreign policy of the
incoming govermnen? Parliament heard
nothing on that subject. The speeches
of Messsrs. Gladstone and Morley some
time ago had led many at home and
abroad to believe that they designed an
early evacuation of Egypt, while they
disapproved the policy of the triple al
liance.
Mr. Morley (interrupting)— I never touched
the question of ihe triple ;i!li;iiice.
A 'filirnst at Itosobory.
Mr. Chamberlain said that the posi
tion of Italy towards the allies had
formed an important part of the speech
of Mr. Morley. Continuing, lie said lie
hoped that Lord Kosebery would be
the new foreign minister. People had
confidence in his policy liecause it was
apposed to that of Mr* Gladstone and
Mr. Morley. [Cheers.] If Lord Rose
b;-ry should not be the new foreign
minister some morning they would
awake to Bud preparations beniir made
to evacuate Egypt, on which subject the
opinion of the house had never been
taken. He did nut believe the democ
racy of the country was in favor of Mr.
Gladstone's and Mr. Morley's policy of
scuttle. [Hear! hear!] But that policy
might be carried out during the recess
to the gross injury of imperial in
terests, while the voice of parliament
could not be beard. Not alone
on foreign, but also on many
more questions the Liberal sections
maintained a conspiracy of silence and
he did not much wonder at it. If Glad
stone tried to satisfy the demands of the
different sections of the party besides
the Irish members, tbe assurances' given
one section might displease another
and the displeasure ot one section might
be fatal to the Gladstone government

of the sections was exceptionally strance
There has been thirty-one Welsh
members returnod pledged to the dis
establishment of the church. They
seemed content to postpone the realiza
tion of the Welsh desires, but insisted
that disestablishment should have sec
ond place in
T3it> Liberal Proxramiiie.
But they had been heard in silence,
Mr. Kedmond declaring that the ques
tion must be excluded it it in the slight
est decree diverted attention from
home rule. All the Natioualiets con
curred that the Irish question
must dominate to the exclusion of Brit
ish reforms. [Hear, hear.] The. pros
pects of Welsh disestablishment being
thrust into the background was not
promising. Another set of members
professed to specially represent a work
day of eight hours for miners. Experi
ence ought to have convinced them of
tbe virtue of exerting some pressure;
yet they were also silent.
Right Hon. Sir John Lubbock, (Lib
eral-Unionist) member for the London
university, said he foresaw constant
conflicts in the Irish imperial parlia
ments. The powers now claimed on be
half of Ireland would make her inde
pendent of Great Britain in all fiscal
matters, and would work injury to both
countries. Bight Hon. Sir Henry
James. Q. C, (Liberal-Unionist) mem
ber for the Bury division of Lancashire,
said that there was no precedent to sus
tain the incoming government in with
holding information as to the policy
they intended to pursue.
Mr. Gladstone, interposing, said there
was a precedent in the course pursued
by the government which assumed
power in 1841.
Sir Henry, continuinc, said that there
bad been a full debate on Lord Mel
bourne's future policy. [Conservative
cheers.] He supposed that Mr. Asquith
had been selected to move the amend
ineut to the address because he had
formerly demanded that Mr. Gladstone
reveal his policy.
In the IMvieion
the Parnellites and anti-Parnellites fell
in together behind Mr. Gladstone.
When the members re-entered the hall
ironic cheers were given for Mr. Bal
four. Mr. Gladstone was almost the
last one of all to come back. When he
appeared the Nationalists rose, waved
their hats and cheered. It was then
announced that the vote for the
adoption was 050, against the adoption
310; majority, 40. The Liberals rose,
and waving their hats, turned to Mr.
Gladstone and cheered for several min
utes. The old man flushed slightly
during the ovation, but otherwise was
apparently unmoved. As the cheer
ing abated Mr. Balfour, amid cries ot
"Coercion," cheering and "booing" and
counter cheering, moved the adjourn
ment of the house.

Pittsbubg, Aug. 11.— A Carmiches
Green county, special tells of a lerrible
tragedy aud probabiy double murder
that occurred near that place about 10
o'clock tnis morning. John Morgan,
a well-to-do farmer, was fatally shot by
his twenty-seven-year-old sju Thomas,
who also accidentally shot his younger
sister Katie while he was shooting at
his father. The trasedy was at the
home of John Morgan. The trouble
was brought about by the prospective
marriage of the "old gentleman,
which marriasre was bitterly op
posed by his four grown children —
the son and three daughters. The al
tercation began yesterday. Early this
morning the tather sent out for some of
his neighbors, among them Mr. Steven
son, a brother-in-law, to help bring his
children to reason, but the son was in a
dadtrerous mood, and. armed with two
revolvers, warned the neighbors to stay
away from the house, accompanying his
words with menaces that they were
not slow to comprehend and respect.
Further words were then had between
father and son and daughters. The son
fired at his father, but missed him, hit
ting his youngest sister instead. The
ball entered the right
Side of Her Neck,
passing down into the lungs. At this a
cry was raised lor Mr. Stevenson and
two other men on the outside to take
care of the wounded girl. They were
too badly frightened to assist Stevenson,
who went in and carried the wounded
girl out on to the porch, from
which the neighbors helpeet Ssveh
son carry her, who weighed 203
pounds, to his carriage. Stevenson
then took the girl to his home, 200 rods
away. While he wasgone, the son com
menced shooting at his father again,
chasing him out of the house. Mr.
Morgan ran to a vacant house near
by. While trying to open the
door the son shot him •in
the back. The old man staggered in
and crawled up stairs. The son climbed
upon the roof of an adjoining shed and
fired at his father through the windows.
He had emptied both his revolvers. Mr.
Stevenson again drove up, and. getting
help, took his brother-in-law from the
old house to his own residence. Two
physicians were summoned, who found
that Mr. Morgan had six bullets in him,'
one in the groin, one in the small of his
back and two in each leg, the right leg
being shattered above the knee. Young
Morgan is at home, and no effort lias
been made to arrest him. It is feared
that he will kill himself. The physicians
say their is little hope for the recovery
of the father and daughter.
A CHINKS i; MYSTERY.

Gbeat Falls, Mont., Aug. 11.—
Chapter No. 2 can be written about the
ghastly Chinese skeleton which was un
earthed several days ago in the old
storehouse of the Montana Stage com
pany,after having remained three years
in its double box held for charges. Ning
Young & C0., t0 whom it was consigned,
have sent a letter to the agent here.
Examination of the company's old wav

Here from Lewistown Aug. 15, and was
prepaid to this point. There are other
characters on the box which - Chinamen
here translate: "Hop Wo Society. Cali

the characters do not reveal the name
of the bender, and therefore he sus

charges are guaranteed.
WOULD ASSASSINATE FRICK.
Another Devilish Plot Is Said to
•Bo Brewing.
Pittsih'kg, Pa., Aug. 11.— The Pitts
burg Post will publish a story tomorrow
morning to the effect that the police
have discovered another anarchistic plot
to assassinate U. C. Frick, the chair
man of the Carnegie Steel company,
who was shot by Bergman three weeks
ago. The . intended assassin is
the anarchist Aaronstarnm, of New
York, who is a close friend of
Bergman and Emma Goldmann.
Aaronstamm has been in the city for
several days, and, it is claimed," has
been waiting for a favorable opportu
nity to kill his victim. He is said to
resemble Bergmau very much, and is
armed with a revolver in one pocket of
his coat and a dynamite bomb in the
other. The plot was hatched in Vi
enna, and was given to the New York
police by Vice Consul Eberhardt, of
Austria. The information was given to
Mr. Eberhardt by an Austr.an who ar
rived in New York recently with letters
from the high police officials of Vienna,
stating that the Austrian's story could
be relied upon. The New York police
at once notified the Pittsburg authori
ties, and a close watch for Aaronstamm
is being kept about all the anarchists'
resorts. The police have a good
description . of the fellow and
will • arrest him on ■ sight.
As a result of the disclosures additional
guards nave been placed about the Car
negie buildings and Mr. Frick's resi
dence, and detectives accompany him
wherever he goes. Mr. Frick regards
these precautions as unnecessary, but
his friends insist upon this protection.
The matter has been kept secret by the
police authorities in the hope that'they
might succeed in capturing Aaron
stramm. Other officials of the Carnegie
company have also received threatening
letters. The police are satisfied, how
ever, that they cau frustrate the piaus
of the anarchists.

LOCKED A DETECTIVE IN.
A Crook's Successful Method of
Making His Escape.
Chicago, Aug. 11.— A smooth-looking
little man dined at the Palmer house
Tuesday and registered as Dr. C. Moore,
of New York. He was accompanied by
a man who called himself C. M. Bure,
and with the two came four large
trunks. While the strangers were
astonishing the other guests by the num
ber and elegance of their costumes, the
police received a telegram requesting
them to look out for E. G. C. B. Dumas,
who had. forged the name of the
Lowell Arms company, of Boston, for
S<wO, had secured the money, and left
New York for Chicago. Today Detect
ive J. C Bailey located the strangers at
the rainier. a:id, learning that one of
Dr. Moore's trunks bore the name of E.
(J. C. B. Duiikss, arrested the doctor at
the office. He was indignant and t->ld
the detective to come to his room and he
would prove his innocence. After en
tering the room the doctor, who turns
out to be the much-wanted Dumas,
opened a trunk and began rumaging
among its contents. While Bailey's at
tention was thus distracted Dumas
sprang out of the door, locked it on the
outside, stole quietly down stairs and
escaped. The imprisoned detective was
released by a chambermaid a few mo
ments later and left the hotel in a re
flective mood. Dumas was bareheaded
when he escaped. The Keyhole in his
room at the hotel has been plugged, so
that none of his baggage can be re
moved.

Rivi:usiDE,Cal.,Aug. 11.— While Mrs.
Wall, the wife of Peter Wall, a promi
nent business man of Eslimore. was
driving through the Temped canyon to
day,accompanied by her son Ira,n young
man named Elmer Walters stepped
from the roadside and. raising a gun he
was carrying, fired at the occupants of
the buggy, killing Ira Wall instantly
and badly wounding Mrs. Wall. The
news of the shooting caused much ex
citement in town and a posse im
mediately formed to go in pursuit of
the murderer. He was overtaken near
South Riverside and was turned
over to Sheriff Seymour. There has
been considerable trouble between the
Wall and Walters families over dis
puted water rights, and the court i>ro
ceedings resulted in a decision favora
ble to Wall. About a week asro Mr.
Wall was accosted by two masked men
while driving through the canyon and
warned to leave the country. He thought
lightly of the matter at the time, but
now believes that tne murder had been
deliberately planned.
MISS BORDEN ARRESTED.
Her Incarceration Causes Intense
Incitement at Fall River,
Fall Kivek, Mass., Aug. 11.— The
arrest of Mtss Lizzie Bordeu, charged
with the murder of her father and
mother, was brought abojjt at (5 o'clock
this evening. Even th'oueh the commu
nity has been in some measure prepared
for this terrible outcome by the pend
ing inquest, Lizzie Borden's arrest
caused an immense sensation. She
was lodged in jail, and access to her
was denied everybody, even her sister
and her counsel coming under the ban.
While driven through town her face
was veiled, but when she lilted the veil
at the warden's residence her almost
masculine countenance betrayed no
emotion. It wore the same tense, set
expression which has been noticeable
since the tragedy, it is believed that
her arrest would" not have been ven
tured upon unless some positive evi
dence had resulted from the continued
session of the inquest today.
Bankers Arrested.
San Diego, Cal., Aug. ll.— George
N. and Henry E. O'Brien have been
arrested for alleged frauds committed
on the California National bank. The

bank and Henry was head bookkeeper.
RUSSIA'S ADVANCE.
It is Giving the Newspapers a Lot
of Worry.
LOKDQK, Aug. 11.— The Conservative
and Liberal-Unionist newspapers are
fomenting the popular excitement on
the subject on Russia's advance into
the Pamir region, and the bold attempts
of the Russians to make trouble hi
Afghanistan. The Tories insist that
Kusbia has been encouraged by the
prospect of Mr. Gladstone's return to
power to renew her aggressions near
the Indian frontier. The St. James
Gazette says there is every reason to
believe that attempts will be made by
Kussia to overstep the Afghan frontier
along the whole line, and that it is dif
ficult to exaggerate the gravity of the
crisis. A space of less than 100 miles
separates the Russian from the English
outposts.
Revenue and Bayonets.
Rome, Aug. 11.— Sgr. Grinaldi, minis
ter of finance, promises a complete re
form for itriDort duties, and hopes
thereby to increase the revenue by
about 10,000,000 lire. Contrary to all
expectation, Gen. Peloux, minister of
war, not only wants to realize the hope
of retrenchment indulged in by the Irre
dentists, but has complete a plan for
the increase of the territorial army by
ten cavalry regiments. This plan has
been approved by the king, whose op
position to any reduction of the army
was confirmed during the conference
with Emperor William.
Intimidated by Priests.
London, Aug. 11.— Another petition
has been filed against the return of a
parliamentary candidate. P. Callan,
Parnellite, who was defeated in the
northern division of Louth by Timothy
Healy, anti-Parneliite, has lodged a pe
tition against the election of Mr. Healy
on the ground that voters were intimi
dated by the priests. Mr. Callan for
merly sat for North Louth in the house
of commons, but in ISSS he was defeated
by J. Nolan. In the last election Mr.
Healy received 2,26S votes agaiust 1,169
cast for Mr. Cailan.

interesting one from the start, but, as
these dispatches have indicated, the
Hub City has been in the lead from the
start. While Louisville promised for
a while this morning to play an im
portant part, and to possibly knock the

withdrawn to allow the fight to be waged
between the two cities which came
early and had earnestly pressed their
claims. This, with the election of grand
encampment officers, was the im
portant feature of the meHm^etoday.
The Knights spent a quiet day. Many
left the city for a short trip to the
mountains, while others visited the
stnelteiies and other points of interest
in and about the city. There were
many receptions, and calls were ex
chanped between several of the com
manderies. The loan art exhibition
was crowded all day. A large number
of receptions have been in progress.
The jrrand encampment went into ses

Hon. Hugh BleCardj
of Corunna, Mich., was. as inticipated,

Templar of the United States, and he
RCKnowledged the hononsaying in part:
"In accepting this proud position to
whioii my fraters have called me, my
first thought is that while i must yield
to many of my fraters in power to dis
charge its important duties, yet to none
do 1 yield in the measure of my apDie
ciatioa of the high honor so generously
conferred. Not to my fitness and worth
iness, but to the high regard in which I
have ever held this honorable station
do I confidently trust in some
degree to prove the worth y suc
cessor to the brilliant coterie of
noble names who have with unsul
lied honor and increasing devotion ful
filled the hopes of their fraters who had
raised them to this lofty station. I need
not here call the roll ot distinguished
names. They need no eulogy from the
lips of man. Their eloquent words and
faithful services are written in the
hearts of a grateful brotherhood. In
whatever cause Knight Templarism
had its origin, its only reason for exist
ence today is its power to help men.

Ma.nka.to, Minn., Aug. 11.— A cor
respondent of the Globe visited tne
county jail today and held an interview
with Mrs. Martha Kesler, the Eagle
lake murderess, who was brought here
last night. While she is by no means a
handsome woman, she is fairly good
looking, possessins quite a heavy head
of blond hair, with fair complexion and
piercing brown eyes that indicate some
thing is wrong somewhere. She is
of stocky build, and quite tall.
She speaks German fluently, and
says she has someseducation. There is
no doubt but she is ignorant as she is
desperate. When asked if she was not
sorry she had killed her innocent chil
dren, she said no: they were
Better Off With i <>;l
and weren't getting into trouble. She
did not know whether it was a sin or
not; had not thought about that; said
she would like to see her husband,
but didn't think he cared any
thing about the matter. She
said nobody cared for her or
her troubles. When a word of sympa
thy was offered she wept and became
nervous and restless. Her whole life
had been one of trouble, and she had
often said siie wished to be dead. She
said her husband had called her crazy,
but she didn't think she was now.
About a year ato she fell from a buugv,
striking on the back of her head. Since
then she has had severe headaches, and
at these times sac always
Wanled to Kill
her children and herself, but never
attempted it until Monday. "When I
threw the little boy in the well, 1 would
have jumped in myself, but thought the
water was not deep enough. I would
have gone to Madison lake and drowned
myself Had Mr. Cummings not stopped
me. The world is all trouble, and I
don't want to live." When Mrs. Kester
was single she worked as a domestic
in this city and bore a bad
reputation. About seven years
iuro she gave birth to * an
illegitimate child, which is not now liv
ing. Attorney A. H. Pfau has been re
tained for her counsel, and will no
doubt make a plea of insanity. Her
mind and disposition seem to be com
posed of a mixture of .nelaneholy, ugli
ness and ignorance. Her father, Eric
Wishing, is quite wealthy. The mur
dered children were buried together
yesterday afternoon. Their names were
Herman and Susan. A telegram was
sent to Milwaukee to the father of the
dead children, but he did not respond.
The perpetrator of
Tliis Ficiulfsli Crime
was brought before Judge Porter today
aud the preliminary hearing atljoarued
until Aug. 18. Two warrants for mur
der in the (irst degree will be sworn out
in a few days. She gives as the reason
that she did not administer the Rough
on Rats to both ot the children was for
fear that it would not do its
work well. The heartless mother
first attempted to drown the
little boy in a rain barrell but he cried
and made such a fuss that she desisted
and took him to the well mentioned last
night. The innocent child went to sleep
in her arras and she dropped him in
while asleep. Many of the Eagle Lake
people think she is mentally sound and
simply ugly, while the more considerate
class give her the benefit of the doubt.
It is thought there is a skeleton in the
closet, which will be unearthed at the
trial.

J. J. Howe & Co. 'a lumber mills have
struck for a reduction in time from
eleven to ten hours with no reduction

Mr. Howe met the men this evening and
explained that he could not operate his
mil), except at a loss, on the ten-hours
system and compete with other mills on
the Northern Pacific road, as the mar
ket was the same. He would
be pleased to have all return
to work, as usual, in the morn
ing, but he had not control over
them, and unless they wanted to work
eleven hours they would have to quit.
The crew in the yard and mill numbers
185 men, and 120 have signed the peti
tion for the reduction of hours. They
are determined in their efforts, and
while it is thought there will be no se
rious difficulty, there is rumbling be
neath the surface that may precipitate
trouble. The men say that ten hours
shall be a day's work, or the mill will
stand idle, and they will not report for
duty until 7a. m. tomorrow instead of
Q, as heretofore.

INSECTS IN WHEAT.
But Apparently They Are Not Do-
ing Much Damage.
Special to the Globe.
Fargo, N. 1)., Aug. 11.— There is
much talk going on in regard to wheat
crops. A report was started that an
insect was working at the grain and
killing it off rapidly in places. Theory
has been taken up generally, and the
govern me tit bureau corroborates it.
President Stockbridge, of the agricult
ural college, has been investigating
wheat in this vicinity, and finds that
the pest has been workiug in some
localities. Generally only very small
spots are found to be infected, but on
one or two farms the insects have
already destroyed considerable. As the
harvest is close at hand, it is not thought
the pest can destroy any great percent
age in the infected districts, while most
ot the wheat region is not affected at
ail. While the crop in the lied river
valley will only be about ~r> per cent of
last years it will all be of good grade,
while last year a third was off grade.
Graxd feoRKS, Aug.ll.— Hot weather
has ripened wheat rapidly, and a loud
cry is going up for help, especially from
the Devil's Lake and Turtle Mountain
sections west of the Red river valley.
These sections have the largest crops in
their history. The grain is so heavy
much will be lost if additional help can
not be had. The chamber of commerce
here has received a letter from Secre
tary Graham, of Kollette county, asking
if anything can be done to set them
harvest help. George J. Ilaiikey, of
Cando, Tower county, makes a strong
appeal for help, saying 500 men must be
had to save the crop, which will yield
from twenty to forty bushels per acre.
Winnipeg, Man.. Aug. IL—Harvest
ing has commenced in Manitoba. The
government has issued a crop bulletin,
which reports the yield of wheat, oats
and barley as likely to be slightly lower
than last year, but that all grains are
well advanced.and the quality promises
to be good. The estimated average
yield per acre ot wheat is IJ-J.OT bushels,
oats 43.16 bushels, barley 3-2.19 bushels.
The number of acres of wheat under
crop ie 875,930. There are over 1,500.000
bushels of last year's wheat crop still in
fanners' hands, which will never be
sold and will be a dead loss, as farmers
have no live stock to which they caa
feed this surplus.
