Cleveland has been overwhelmingly carried by the Methodists. Alfonso XIII. of Spain is playing a regular thirteen game up to date. Greater New York may be said to be a sort of Atlantic coast "filled cheese." Why does Mr. Lyo _s dilate en this hot wave with a sort of "ghoulish glee?" Capt. Gen.

The Minnesota dairy Interest grows apace, and the strongest butter in the outfit is the goat. Tom Piatt is a boss in New York, but it doesn't appear that he will "cut much ice" in St. Louis. The clouds have silver linings, and the bottoms of the ships bound for Europe are lined with gold. A Massachusetts man told his wife a physician's secret and had to pay $40,000 for it.

D ALL CLASSES AND CONDITIONS REP RESENTED IN THE RED LAKE BOSH. SETTLERS ALREADY IN LINE. WILL HOLD THEIR PLACES TILL TIME FOR FILING COMES ROUND. CONTEST WILL BE MEMORABLE. Competition for Lands in tbe Reser vation the Greatest the State Has Ever Known. Special to the Globe. FOSSTON, Minn., May 12.—A1l day long there has been a continuous procession of sooners' vehicles arriving from the south, and depaAing immediately for the reserva tion. Some come in covered wagons, some in buggies and some in light spring wagons. AH classes are represented; men leoking for busi icss locations, for town sites and for farm claims. Locaters coming from the reserva tion report the locality a* suddenly swarming with men. The highway for fifteen miles was i lined with outgoing people, and those parts of the reserve adjacent to the line alive with prospectors. The farm houses of Polk county have given up a vast horde- of young fellows, who have been boarding in them for months past, and the sunshine of four days makes visible a population that but few suspected was in the country. Across White Earth res ervation the White Cappers are coming by the hundreds, and these are mainly farmers ln good circumstances. They relate all sorts of experiences in getting here, but are in good heart and courage. SETTLERS IN LINE. Will Keep Their Places Till tbe Rush Begin.. CROOKSTON, Minn., May 12.—A line was formed early this morning by Register Dun lava, of the United States land office, which promises to be a memorable line in the his tory of Minnesota. It was the line which will be kept in position from now until the end of the rush for the lands of the Red Lake Indian reservation. Some of the men who composed the line this morning were presumably prospective settlers upon the reservation, though there may be a question as to their being able to hold their claims against those who comply strictly with the law and go upon the re servation after 9 o'clock next Friday morning to begin permanent improvements, and then come back to Crookstoji to make their filings. In fact. Register Dunlava this morning ad mitted there wore likely to be many contests over such filings, but his position is that priority of filing will be at the same time and thereby priority of occupancy. When urged that injusticf would De done to a man who strictly complied with the law and then had some other man file upon the land he had gone upon ln good faith, ■ after 9 o'clock Friday morning, Capt. Dunlava said that it did not seem right, but that the only thing to do under such circumstances would be to settle the matter" by a contest. If a man went up on the reservation next Friday morning and made his selection of land and, commencing his improvements, came back to Crookston and found a filing made by some one else, the date of which was even one minute after he began digging on his claim, the filing would be no good. It appears plain that there will be many contests arising out of Friday's filings, as there will probably be many hundreds, per haps thousands, of men in lino here who will not. attempt to go upon the reservation that day, but have already picked out choice pieces of land on which to file. The trains from Crookston reservation points are heavily laden today. United States Inspector Andrews arrived this morning, and in a spirited speech to the crowd, which formed in line and was being allotted num bers, said that he would arrest any man who tried any Oklahoni. boomer business here and prcsecut': him to the end. LITCHFIELD GRATEFUL. Thanks Presented to the Minnesota Delegation in Congress. Special to the Globe. LITCHFIELD, Minn., May 12.—When news of the dismissal of the land suits brought against Litchfield parties by the government was received here, the people, regardless of party, felt so grateful to those who had been active in bringing about the dismissal, that a paper, suitably and appropriately express ing the thanks of the community, was cir culated and numerously signed. It was yes terday forwarded to the delegation in con gress. Senators Davis and Nelson concur in the opinion that the curative act of March 2 last confirmed the title of all bona fide pur chasers here. Senator Davis, however, sug gests that it may be well for more perfect record title to proceed as prescribed in sec tion 3 of the same act by making application to the secretary of the interior for a certifi cate of title. The matter is now in the hands of Congressman Heatwole, who is making a thorough investigation, and, if found ad visable, will take such steps as may be neces sary to perfect the title. A. O. U. W.

Culbertson are candidates for grand master workman. The session will close Thursday. Today was spent in preliminary work and in being entertained by the home lodge.

Tlie Matter Seems to Have Assumed a Serious Phase. Special to the Globe. MORTON, Minn., May 12.— The Renville county seat case is taking on a serious phase from the fact that the sureties on the bonds of the county officials threaten to withdraw unless the officers immediately comply with the decision of the supreme court and remove to Beaver Falls. It Is now claimed that all the business transacted at Olivia ls illegal, and that the title to all real property that ST. PAUL MINN.: WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 13. 1896. has been put on record at that place will be imperfect, because of the fact of its never having been the county seat, and that end less litigation may follow. Several suits are already threatened against the bondsmen of the register of deeds, who in turn have noti fied that official of their intention to with draw from his bond. Localities that for merly favored Olivia are now loud in their denunciation of the high-handed manner in which the decision of the supreme court ls ignored. $2,000,000 DEAL. Deeds in the Big Weyerhauser Par chase Pat on File. Special to the Globe. DULUTH, Minn., May 12.—The big deal by which Frederick Weyerhauser, of St. Paul, and F. C. A.

CLOUD, Minn., May 12.—The railroads have made a rate of one and a third fare for the round-trip for all attending the Cen tral Minnesota immigration convention in this city on Thursday and Friday of this week.

Each county j will be represented by a speaker on the pro | gramme, and there will be addresses by dis l tinguished people of a general nature, regard- I ing the resources of this part of the state and the best methods of farming and stock-rais ing. Indians Have the Edge. ST. CLOUD, Minn., May 12.—Capt. Oscar Taylor, of this city, has lately b.en making an effort to have Senator Nelson and Repre sentative Towne secure legislation which would permit settlers upon the Mille Lacs reservation to make entries. This has re sulted in an examination of the status of the Mille Lacs lands and the treaties and laws pertaining to them. The result is that there appears to be little hope that legislation per mitting settlers to make entries can be se cured. It appears that should the Indians elect to remain, as it is said they have, set tlers now there may be compelled to give up their locations and improvements. Creamery a Success. Special to tho Globe. NEW PAYNESVILLE, Minn., May 12.—The New Paynesville Mutual Creamery company made its sixth shipment to New York last Saturday of thirty firkins.

FIGHT FROM TTE VERY START. BEFOBE THE MEE'.ING OPENED THERE WAS A LIVELY FREE _. FOR-ALL. FILLEY MEN WM THE VICTORY. The Little That Was Accomplished by the Convention Was as They Dictated. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., May 12-—After a whole day devoted largely to rioting of one kind and another, and wrangling when there was no more serious disturbance the Missouri Republican state convention, at a late hour tonight, had succeed in doing very little be side organizing, and an all-night session was in prospect. The majority report of tbe credentials committee was adopted, seating the Filley delegates, and a platiorm accepted indorsing McKinley and protection, and de claring for sound money. The convention was almost turned into a riot before the delegates were admitted to the hall. At 10 o'clock fully 2,000 people were in front of tbe opera house, clamoring for admittance. The cause of the trouble was a disagreement between the Filley and the Kerens factions for supremacy. Mr. Filley, as chairman of the state committee, issued tickets to his set o_ delegates. The local committee on arrangements recognize Kerens as boss, and this committee also issued tickets to the convention, and having obtain ed possession of the keys of the opera house, refused to admit any one until Filley would consent to a compromise. At about 12 o'clock newspaper reporters were admitted to the con vention ball, but delegates were kept on the outside while a truce was being arranged between the factions. A little after 12 o'clock a crowd of men, wearing Filley hats, congregated ln the rear of the theater, and attempted to smash in the rear door. They used a battering ram. The sergeant-at-arms in the inside telephoned for the police and a patrol wagon full of officers was sent to the scene. The sergeant-at-arms was unable to identify the individuals using violence and no arrests were made, but the officers re mained on guard. While the delegates In the street raved, Filley and the local committee representing the Kerens' faction held a consultation. Fi nally an agreement was reached by which the doors were opened, and the delegates allowed to enter. Then after a delay of three hours. Chairman Filley appeared on the stage and called the convention to order. The building was packed to the doors, but the delegates seemed to have forgotten their wrath, and aside from a few bruised heads and black eyes, there was no evidences of 'what had for a time threatened to result in a riot. After an address by Mayor Vories, Mr. Filley announced the temporary officers as follows: Chairman, Congressman Rifthard Bartholdt: secretary, Albert Griffin. Chairman Barthold addressed the convention at length, and his remarks were well received. After Mr. Bart hold closed, and committees were named, the convention took a recess. The anti-Filley followers held a caucus, after adjournment, and attempted to arrange matters that they might sa. theft* contest ing delegations. A hot .fight was waged in the credentials committee rooms, and the Filley men refused to entertain a proposition for a compromise. They demanded every thing in sight, which the Kerens faction was not disposed to concede. At 9:30 the creden tials committee was not ready to report, and the delegates and spectators who filled the convention hall amused themselves by list ening to speeches from Fire Alarm Flanni gan, Webster • Davis, Maj. William Warner and others. It 'was not until after 11 o'clock tonight that the committee on credentials was ready to report and the convention was finally called to order. The committee submitted two reports, the majority favoring the Filley del egations, and the minority favoring sending all the contesting delegations and divid ing the vote between the two factions. The majority report was adopted without debate. The committee on order of business recom mended the election first of a state chair man, the nomination of state officers after wards, and, as the final business of the con vention, the election of delegates to the na tional convention. This report was unani mously adopted. The indications are that the convention will be in session all night. From this time on, the convention was practically ln control of the Filley party. The temporary'organlzatiofi was made perm anent, and the only disappointment which the Filley men met was the losing of one of the state committeemen at large. The selection of chairman of the state central committee was awarded to Mr. Filley by acclamation, and to crown his victory, at 1:30 a. m. ho was elected delegate at large to the national convention. The platform Indorses protection and Mc- Kinley, and denounces the Cleveland admin istration. The financial plank ls as follows: "We are firm and emphatic In our demand for honest money. We believe that our money should not be Inferior to the money of the most enlightened nations of the earth. We are unalterably opposed to any scheme that threatens to debase or depreciate our cur rency. We favor the use of silver as cur rency, but to the extent only and under such regulations that its parity with the present gold standard can be maintained, and, in con sequence, we are opposed to the free, unlim ited and independent coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1." WISCONSIN PROHIBITIONISTS. State Convention Will Be Held To day at Eau Claire. Special to the Globe. EAU CLAIRE, Wis., May 12.—Delegates are arriving slowly for the state Prohibition con vention to be called to order at 2 p. m. to morrow. The temporary chairman will be Capt. J. F. Cleghorn, of Clinton, and the secretary, Dr. Mosely, of Tomah. Ex-Gov. .St. John, of Kansas, and Mrs. Helen Cougar, of Indiana, will deliver addresses. A state ticket will be named Thursday. DELAWARE HBTIDED. After a Wrangle the Republicans Held Two Conventions. DOVER, Del., May 12—The Republican state convention met here at noon today, and before the adjournment one of the stormiest battles in the history of state Republican politics had been waged.. Charges of fraud were exchanged and fighting over contested seats indulged in, until it looked as if the convention would end in chaos. The war was between the factions respectively headed by Addicks and Anthony Higgins. In the afternoon the Higgins men boiled the con vention and held a separate one ln the state house. These national delegates were chos en: Anthony Higgins, John Pilling, Hiram Reedy, Dr. Paris T. Carlisle, Cornelius P. Swain and George H. Hall. They were in structed for McKinley. The regular conven tion selected J. Edward Addicks, D. F. Stew art, J. Frank Allen, Dr. Hiram R. Burton, Dr. Caleb R. Laton. The fight between the factions was precip itated by a motion for the chair to appoint a committee on credentials. The Higgins peo ple fought for the naming of the committee by the district caucuses. „The motion for the chair to appoint finally carried. Mr. Ad dicks, who sat as a contestant, declared that he. had, been persecuted by the Higgins men, and that be would stand their frauds no longer. When recess time was reached nothing ff J __. .'

After the recess the turmoil was continued, and the break came when the committee on credentials reported in favor of unseating several H'ggins delegates from Wil mington. The Higgins men protested in vain, and then left the convention. The Addicks men applied the unit rule to nearly all questions and carried everything before them. A. P. A. COUNCIL. Only Informal Sessions Were Held Yesterday. WSHINGTON, May 12.—The supreme coun cil of the A. P. A. this morning held an in formal session, the flrst of the convention. No business was transacted except the ap pointment of a committ on credentials. This committee at once began making up the roll of the council. There are about ZOO dele gates on the scene. The consensus of opin ion among the Eastern delegates Is that at tempts to bring the financial question to the front will be checked. The action of the ad visory board in blacklisting McKinley will be opposed by the Western men. An afternoon session of several hours was held, the time being consumed mainly ln the consideration of the report of the cre dentials committee. Committees were ap pointed on ritual and paraphernalia, on the report of the executive committee, on polit ical action, on the president's message and on educational work. Hereafter daily sessions will be held from 9 until 4 o'clock, and the remainder of the day will be devoted to com mittee work. Tomorrow morning it is ex pected that Supreme President J. W.

Its Practicability Demonstrated by Prof. LuiiK'l. y, WASHINGTON, May 12.—The first public statement regarding the flying machine ex periments conducted by Prof. Samuel P. Langley, the secretary of the Smithsonian in stitution, were made today. Much secrecy has been attached to these trials and the little that has leaked out has excited intense interest among scientists throughout the world. The account of the attempt ls em bodied ln the following statement prepared by Prof. Alexander Graham Bell: "Last Wednesday I witnessed a very remarkable experiment with Prof Langley's aerondrome on the Potomac river. Indeed It seemed to me that the experiment was of such histori cal Importance that it should be made public. "The flying machine was of steel, driven by a steam engine. It resembled an enor mous bird soaring In the air. When the steam gave out, the propellers which had moved it stopped, and then to my surprise, the whole, instead of tumbling down, set tled as slowly and gracefully as it Is possi ble for any bird to do, touched the water without any damage and was Immediately picked out and ready to be tried again. A second trial was like the first, except that the machine went in a different direction. No one could have witnessed these experi ments without being convinced that the prac ticability of mechanical flight had been dem onstrated." TERRELL SUMMONED. President "Wanted Him in Washing ton Right Away. AUSTIN, Tex., May 12.—United States Min ister to Turkey Terrell, who has been visit ing his family here for several weeks, was called post haste to Washington tonight by a telegram from President Cleveland.

Times Does Not Believe the St-lsnre Story. LONDON, May 13.—1n an editorial regard ing the reported seizure at Chee-Foo of land situated within the British concession, tbe Times says: "It is Inconceivable that the land which China cedes to Russia at Chee-Foo forms a part of the British concession. Such an act would entail an Immediate demand for reparation. In any case the government will see that Englishmen are not wronged with impunity. The moral of the incident Is that the other powers dispense with preliminary steps when they want anything from China and threaten force, China knows that they are ln earnest and yields. Until we instill a similar conviction into the mandarins we shall always come off second best where France and Russia are our rivals." OVATION FOR BROOKLYN.
