CLAIMS OF ASSIGNEES.
Several Who Want an Adjustment of
Fees.
Judges Smith, Simpson, Mc-G<e and Lan
cast! r occupied the bench in the main court
room yesterday for the purpese of hearing
the arguments and evidence In tiie applica
tions for fees in <i:?ht assignments. This is
the first Bitting in which the nrv. rule has
1;< < n put into pffoct. which requires attor
neys In assignments, and assignees, to ap
pear In-fore the full bench In support of
tlielr demands.
only two matters were heard in the
morning, and both were taken under ad
visrm< i;t. In the assignment of A. E. Hor
tori the assignee had been unabln to collect
enough to pay the expenses and fees asked.
There was about $600 short of paying ihe
attorney and assignee. However, they were
willing to take all they had, and give the
court ;> quit claim. There were- Sfveral at
tornejs present to object, who Insisted that
they should have r few dollars out of the
fc.',sCo that was left.
In the assignment of the M. D. Cox Fur
niture company, S. S. Kilvington has left
it to the court as to what his foes shall be.
His attorney. J. L. Dobbin, asked the court
for ?fiio as his share, and there was no one
present to object. However, it is the court
that is doing the objecting now. and the mat
ter was taken under advisement like the
other one.
John W. Arctander v presented a bill for
&,&$ for legal services in the ease of Olson
vs. the State Bank, after the entry of judg
ment. He had already been paid Jfi.MO In
the matter. The report cf Gen. Hahn, ns re
ceiver, was also submitted, and the court took
the matter under advisement.
('apt. Hart appeared with a request that
he be allowed $2,000 for his work in objecting
to the account of the Minneapolis Trust com
pany as receiver wf the Northwestern Guar
anty Loan company. It was true that Judge
Russell had denied the same petition, but
Hart brought it again before the full bench.
He claimed that he had saved the estate con
siderable monoy and was entitled to his fees.
"The work that was done by Capt. Hart,"
said Col. Dodge, appearing for the Trust
company, "was not of any great good to
the estate. I think I give a summary of the
records when I say that the various objec
tions delayed the settlement of this estate
fully two years, and cost the estate $6 000 In
cash." The court took the matter under ad
visement, as In all the other cases.
J. W. Cohen asked for $400 for fees in the
assignment of Frudenfeld & Co., and a liko
amount for tho assignee. Wadsworth Wads
worth wanted $2,000 in the Crlttendcn assign
ment, to which there was some objection.
The court will pass upon all the matters
later.
REFUSES TO EAT.
A Prisoner Who Wants to Slinuie Off
ThlM Mortal Coll.
The Jailer and deputies at the county jail
are having their hands full with Jacob Kin
sey, who was convicted of assault some days
ago, and they were anxious to get him out
of their hands. He refuses food, and has
avowed his intention to destroy himself. Mon
day night he made all preparations, and
wrote a postal card to a friend, in which he
Instructed that his brother should not be
permitted to take ciarge of his remains.
There was a hitch in the programme, how
ever, for Kinsey was watched so closely
that he had no opportunity to carry his
design into effect. At last accounts there
had been several trials of strength between
the captors and the prisoner, and the case
pas resolved Itself into a race with death.
The jailors hope to get the prisoner out of
Ihelr hands shortly.
Temperance People Hard at Work.
The members of St. Charles Church Total
Abstinence society evidently intend to carry
on a vigorous crusade against Stockholm
Olson and A. Sorenson, who desires to suc
ceed Olson. Not content with taking the
matter up as a society, they have sent mis-
Bionaries out to other societies, and as a
result the St. Anthony Total Abstinence union
Will hold a special meeting next Sunday after
noon at the hall at Eight avenue southeast
and Main street, when the matter will be
discussed.
Returned Some Chickens.
Samuel L. Rich and his attorney appeared
before Judge Holt to waive examination on
a charge of violating the game laws. He
•was ordered to appear at the district court
at the next term. The complaint in the
search warrant was ordered amended, as the
game warden had seized more game than the
warrant called for. He had thirty-one prairie
chickens when his warrant only named ten.
The other twenty-one were ordered returned,
and the rest confiscated. Rich was released
Upon his personal recognizance.
Kael Knew Nothing; of It.
Robert Kael, the alleged assailant of OfH
'.er Ferin nearly three weeks ago, and who
was arrested yesterday, was arraigned in the
municipal court yesterday morning on the
charge of assault with Intent to kill. He de
clared that he did not know anything of the
charge, and asked to be set free. He waived
examination, however, and was bound over to
the grand jury. No bail was named by the
court, as Judge Holt wished the county at
torney to take up the case first.
Pronably Heart Disease.
.Coroner Dennis was called to Brooklyn Cen
ter Tuesday morning to attend the case of
Richard Brookholtz, who died suddenly Mon
day night. The Brookholz family had gone
to the home of Mr. Brookholz's mother, and
he was to follow on later. As he did not
come an investigation was made, and Mr.
Brookholz was found lying on the barn floor
In the rear of the cattle stalls. Life was ex
tinct. Death was probably caused by heart
disease.
Few Idle Men.
According to the estimates of those conver
eant with the situation, there are at present
not more than one-fourth as many idle men
dependent upon charity in the city as there
were at the same time a year ago. A general
Improvement in industrial conditions is re
sponsible for the decrease of helpless men.
Again the work in lumbering for the winter
has been much more plentiful than last win
ter, and this has given employment to many
men.
Edward Hamlln Dead.
Edward Hamlln, living near Sixteenth ave
nue north and Washington, died yesterday
morning at St. Barnabas' hospital of appen

Mrs. Mary A. Williams died very suddenly
f'esterday morning at the home of her son
n-law, Dr. F. H. Brimmer, 1813 Laurel ave

REPORT OF SUPT. JORDAN
CONTAINING A STATEMENT FROM
PRESIDENT \<>RTHROI>, OF THE
STATE I NIVERSITY.
SENIORS MAY ENTER THE 11.
!
The Advice of Sm>t. Jordan Regard
ing the Manner of Enffaffins
Teacher*.
At the meeting of the board of edu
' cation yesterday afternoon, Supt. Jor
i dan referred to the arrangement made
with President Northrop, of the uni
versity, and with the various normal
schools of the state, to receive stu
dents in case the schools are closed.
He also made some suggestions in re
gard to the manner in which teachers
j are engaged at the present time, from
I month to month, and advises that next
year different arrangements be made.
The report is as follows:
Owing to the agitation concerning the clos
! ing of schools at an earier date than usual
and the consequent uncertainty of the senior
classes of the high schools with regard to
admission to the university, I called upon
President Northrcp and asked his considera
tion of the matter. He expressed himself
as being very willing to do anything in his
power to relieve the difficulty. His statement
was as follows:
"It is my opinion that the university will
admit such seniors in the high schools of
Minneapolis as have done satisfactory work
up to the time when the high schools may
close; and students so admitted will, in my
opinion, be permitted to pursue their work
regularly in the university so long as they do
satisfactory work. Provided, that if it shall
appear that any students are deficient in
studies necessary for their successful work in
the university they may be required to make
up such studies In a reasonable time, not as
a penalty, since the students will not neces
sarily be In fault, but for their own good."
The same arrangements have been made
with the different normal schools of the state,
and I have no doubt satisfactory arrange
ments can be made with the schools and col
leges outside the state wherever pupils may
desire to continue their studies. I think that
under these circumstances the seniors in the
high schools should receive their regular
graduation at the close of the school year
whenever it may be.
"I wish to call the attention of the board
to one matter, which, it seems to me, should
have immediate attention. At the beginning
of the present year it was found necessary
to make monthly contracts with the teachers
in order to protect- the board of education
should the school funds not be forthcoming in
the usual way. All teachers entered Into such
contracts, though, In many cases, feeling it
was a hardship. I feel very sure that many
of the best teachers, whose services the
bopzd of education canot afford to lose, would
not sign similar contracts again, but would
seek positions elsewhere. It Is very Impor
tant for many teachers to know just how
much they can depend upon for their year's
work, and this they cannot do under the
present arrangements. I do not call into ques
tion the matter of what salary shall be paid,
I but think that, at once, the board should take
I such action as will assure the teachers who
I aro in our schools next year that they are
] sure of positions for the entire year, pro
vided their work is satisfactory, at a stated
] salary, upon which they can depend. I call
this matter to your attention at this early
date because Ie is already causing a great
deal of talk among the teachers, and because,
while a large salary is always acceptable, a
small one, which is assured is, in many
cases, more satisfactory."
DID THEY SHOOT KING?
Detective* Arrest Some Supposed
Desperadoes.
Five city detectives yesterday arrested W.
H. Brown, William Dorkcry, John Walters
and John Adams, all supposed housebreak
ers or highwayman.
Supposing that pessibly some of these men
were the ones who had attempted to rob
Llden & Brown's saloon last Wednesday night
when John King was shot, the i'et3Ctives
had Brown and two of the witnesses o" the
affair at the station last night. They were
unable to positively identify any of the men,
i but thought that perhaps Walters looked like
I the smai'er man of the two. During the
j scuffle with King, the robber's mask fell
I down, showing the upper part of his face and
J h'.s mustache. Walters answered the desorlp
i tlon in som* particulars, and a scar on his
nose seemed like one which might have been
inflicted by King. Walters is about the eize
of the small would-be robber.
Her Dangrhter la Dead.
Mrs. Mary McKenzie recently came to this
city in search of her daughter and son-in
law, Mr. and Mrs. William Beattie. Now Mr.
Beattie is endeavoring to ascertain the where
abouts cf his mother-in-law. Mr. and Mrs.
Beattie came to this city a year ago, and took
up their residence at 1209 Second street
northeast. When Mrs. MeKenzie came to
town recently to call on the couple she
found no one by that name living there.
What haa subsequently become of her is not
known. It was finally called to the attention
of Mr. Beattie that she haa been in the city.
He has made inquiries for her, but has been
unable to ascertain as to her whereabouts. If
he does meet her he will have a sad story to
tell as Mrs. Beattie recently died, and on
this account the husband moved from the
former residence to 317 Main street north
east.

LOCAL COAL TRUSTS.
Foar Million Dollar Company Or
ganized at Plttetburg;.
PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 28.— The promoters
of the Citizens' Coal company, which will be
composed of Pi'ttsburg and Cincinnati opera
tors, today continued their meeting, begun
yesterday, and this evening had completed
plans for the new company. A meeting will
be held in this city on Jan. 18 for organizing,
election of officers, etc. The entire capital,
$4 000, COO. was subscribed today, the plants
of the Pittsburg pe3ple being taken as $2,
--000,000 cash. When all the operators Interest
ed had subscribed the necessary capital was
short not $100,000. This sum was made up by
W A. McDonald, the Cincinnati Standard Oil
man who will, in all likelihood, be president
of tie company. It was decided that five of
the elevators owned by the company at Cin
cinnati shall be shut down, leaving but six in
operation. Under the new management no
coal will be delivered in Cincinnati from
Pittsburg or the Kanawah valley unless $2
a ton is secured.

"WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.— Commis- '
sioner Hermann, of the general land
office, has decided that no entries or
disposals of any non-mineral lands in

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.— John Healey
died today in a hospital from the ef

charged, by George H. Lincoln, a de
signer. Healey had been out of work

wife ran into another room. When
she returned, after hearing sounds of
a struggle, she found Healey covered
with blood. Her husband had gone to
a hospital. Lincoln, who was only
slightly wounded, was arrested and
taken to Healey s bedside. Healey
positively denied that he had ever seen
Lincoln before, and died today refusing
to implicate his old-time friend in any
way. Lincoln is so distressed over the
affair that it is feared he will attempt
to commit suicide. He was remanded
to await the action of the coroner.
RFnuCTION^ACCEPTED.
Fall River Executive Committee Op
posed to a Strike.
FALL RIVER, Mass., Dec. 28.— The
operatives conference committee was
in session two hours tonight, after ex- ,
ecutive committee meetings of the va
rious unions had been held. Secre
| tary O'Donnell gave out the following
resolution, which had been unanimous
ly adopted by the committee:
Resolved, That we acctpt the reduction, as
it would not be good business policy on our
part to enter into a strike at the present
time. But we inform our employers that as
soon as we think there is a margin of profit
| sufficient for the restoraticvi of the present
j wage schedule, we shall demand it, even if
I we have to go to the extremity of leaving
I our employment by going on strike.
The feeling among the leaders to
night is strong against the reduction.
While the committee offers the reso
lution to the unions, there is a possi
| bility they will not accept it. The
I spinners, slasher tenders and loom flx
j ers especially talk strike, and it is pos-
I sible that they may so vote at the
meeting on Tuesday night.
MISSIONS IN CHINA
To Be iiisi, .•<•!.<! By the American
Board.
BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 28.— At a meet
ing ot the prudential committee of the
American board of foreign missions to
day, it was voted to send a deputation
to China, consisting of Rev. Judson
Smith, D. D. secretary of the foreign de
partment; Col. Charles Hawkins, and
Samuel H. Shapleigh, of Allston. The
visit is made in response to urgent and
repeated invitations from the North
China, Foo Chow and Shansi missions.
They wish the executive officers to
know their work and its surroundings
as they themselves know it, by actual
contact and observation. The visit is
to be made during the earlier months
of the year. It will begin with the
South China mission and move north
ward with the advancing season, first
to the Foo Chow mission, thence to the
North China mission, with a month or
more allowed for the Chansi mission.
Every mission will be visited and as
far as practical every station in each
I mission and enough out-stations to
| make the deputation familiar with the
I methods of work and with the native
laborers and the homes of the native
Christians.
The questions on which light will be
j sought are such as these: The location
I of the several missions; the opportunity
I for work; success in the work; tht
I adequacy of the mission force; the>
housing of the missions and the condi
tion of the mission premises; the native
agency and the means of training it;
the mission schools and their workj
the medical work; the literary work;
woman's work; missionary opportuni
ties; means of making the work moro
effective; the question of self-support.
This is the first deputation to China to
be sent by the American board.
CHARITY NOT INTERVENTION.
Minister de Loinie Deprecates Mix
ing; Politico and Almis Giving.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.— Dupuy de
Lome, the Spanish minister, expresses
strong disapproval of reports that the
relief measures adopted by the United
I States and co-operated in by Spain are
a step toward Intervention by this gov
ernment in the affairs of Cuba. The
minister characterizes such reports as
an effort to mix politics with charity
and as calculated to excite ill feeling
which will embarrass the charitable
I movement and impede its execution in
i Havana and throughout the island. Re
ferring to the subject he said today:
"This talk of intervention in certain
quarters has no other purpose than to
I embitter both countries and to divert
I the original essential purpose of alms
i giving. The extension of aid to the suf-
I ferers in Cuba is no more intervention
i than was the action of all the nations
of the world — including Spain — to ex
tend help to Chicago after the big fire,
or that of the United States In sending
a shipload of grain to Russia and last
year to India and to the city of London
in sending food and money to Paris
when the seige by the Germans was
raised."

! Special to the Globe.
FARIBAULT, Minn., Dec. 28.— The
i people of Faribault were much startled
this morning early on hearing of the
accidental death of George M. Gil
more, an old and respected resident,
and the narrow escape from death by
asphyxiation of the rest of the family.
Mr. Gilmore has been ill for the past
few days and last evening, by the doc
tor's advice, had made up hi 6 mind to
go to bed early. Before retiring he,
with his daughter Grace, went to the
furnace to fix the fire for the night.
In closing the damper into the chimney ;
Miss Grace noticed that he shut it up j
tight, but thinking nothing more about j
it, they went up stairs and retired for i
the night. This -morning at the usual
time Miss Minnie, another daughter,
was awakened by the servant girl
crawling into her room and saying she j
was too sick to get breakfast. Miss
Minnie also felt very ill and noticed !
the smell of gas very plainly in the j
room, and, on getting up, found she i
was very sick herself. She immediate
ly went .down stairs and opened the '
doors to I*t the gas out, but thinking |
it would be too cold for her father, she
shut the door and then went to her
father's room and found him dead.
His room, being almost directly over
the furnace, was filled with the gas and
he probably died early in the night.
Miss Grace was the least affected, she |
having left the window open during the
right.
Mr. Gilmore was one of Faribault's
early settlers, having come here about !
forty years ago. He was born in Wall- \
pole, New Hampshire, in 1824. He
leaves one son, Judge Frank M. Gil
more, of Elk Point, Dak., and four
daughters, Misses Minnie and Grace,
and Mrs. Thomas C. Gardner, who re
sides in Faribault, and Mrs. Dr. Wood,
of Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands.
WELL-BKED CATTLE.
Carload of Them Imported by Da
kota SU.rl :i:«mi.
Special to the Globe.
HURON, S. D., Dec. 28.— A Carload of
shorthorn heifer calves arrived here to
day from a point 600 miles northwest
of Quebec, Can. There were sent to
Van L. Ross, and will be disposed of
to farmers in this locality who are en- i
deavoring to improve their herds. It
Is thought that these cattle, which are '
specially well bred, will withstand this j
climate better than those brought from j
any of the Northwestern states, and |
these have been shipped in as a test.
MaJ. J. A. Pickler was in the city a
short time yesterday: He had very lit
tle to say of politics, although he had
Just returned from Washington. He
does claim that he is not seeking a
position at the hands of the present ad- 1
ministration. Nor did he say that he !
would not enter the contest for a seat |
in congress at the next election. Just |
at present he is interested In a big lot •
of cattle up in Faulk county from
which he hopes to realize as much
money as he would from a seat in the
lower house of congress. There is no
doubt but that Maj. Pickler will be In
the field for congress long before tha as
} sembllng of the next Republican state
convention.

Pistol Practice by Jealoma Rivals in
Montana.
WIBAUX, Mont., Dec. 28.— Last night
there occurred a regular revolver duel
in a saloon here. A party of cowboys
were eating and drinking at a table,
when the He was passed between Wil
liam Moore and John Nettleton, both
of whom are smitten with the charms
of the same young lady. Nettleton
pulled a revolver and aimed at Mcore'a
breast. The gun missed fire. Moore,
who is left-handed, reached for his
gun, but before he had time to use It
Nettleton fired, the bullet striking
Moore's left wrist, plowing through
his forearm to the elbow, where it
split, half coming out and the other
half remaining in the flesh. Moore
ouickly changed his revolver to his
right hand, but before he could fire
Nettleton shot the revolver from his
hand, taking off the tips of the sec
ond and third fingers, and leaving a
furrow in the palm of his hand. Net
tleton fired a third shot at Moore, the
bullet taking effect in the left side
near the shoulder,, coming out near
the middle of the back.

Desire of Doth Government* la to
Aid the' Miners in the Most
Feiuclbie Way.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.— The ex
pected conference between Secretary
Alger and Mr. Sefton, the Canadian
minister of the interior, did not take
place this afternoon. Secretary Algei*
had over-rated his strength and found
that he was not sufficiently recovered
from his Illness to undertake the work
of arranging details of the Klondike
relief expedition. The Canadian visi
tors are to remain In Washington for a
few days, however, so that the confer
ence is simply postponed for a short
time.
Mr. Sefton, and his secretary, Mr.
McKenna, were waited upon at their
hotel this morning, by Assistant Secre
tary Meikeljohn, of the war depart
ment, and welcomed" in the name of
Secretary Alger. They were then
driven around the suburbs, including
the soldiers' home grounds, until noon
when Secretary Alger, who had arisen
from his sick bed for the purpose, en
tertained his visitors at luncheon. It
Is learned that Mr. Sefton, in accept-

MrH. Newmarried— l'd like to catch my husband drinking.
Jack Borrowe — So would I.
ing Secretary Alger's Invitation to
come to Washington for the purpose of
consulting respecting Klondike relief
measures, telegraphed that his govern
ment was heartily in favor of the co
operation with the United States au
thorities in the effort to aid the miners
in the Klondike.
From the advices of the Canadians,
it is likely that Skaguay will be chosen
instead of Dyea as the terminal port
of the relief expeditions. The reasons
for this choice is said to be the fact
that Skaguay has wharves at which
the ships can discharge cargo directly,
while at Dyea there is nothing but
lighters to land the goods.
Mr. Sefton said tonight that he hoped
to conclude his visit within the next
two days and that there was no doubt
the two governments could make an
arrangement which would be mutually
beneficial in extending relief to the
Klondlkers. The minister's attention
was called to reports that Canada
might not be willing to co-operate In
the use of the military arm of the gov
ernment, as provided by the bill which
recently became a law. He said, how
ever, that he apprehended no difficulty
in that direction, as the only purpose
of the two governments was to effect
the relief in the most feasible way pos
sible. There appears to be no desire on
the part of the Canadian officials to in
terpose any technical obstacles to the
execution of the relief measures, and
for this reason it is expected a satisfac
tory agreement will be reached within
the next twc days.
Capt. Brainard has been authorized
to issue tomorrow the advertisements
for the supplies that are to be carried
on the relief expeditions. They prob
ably will appear in newspapers in Chi
cago, Seattle, Portland and San Fran
cisco. The list of rticles to be carried
has been arranged with the greatest
care by the Quartermaster's depart
ment, and after consultation with Sur
geon General Sternberg. Only the
most vitally necessary food articles
which combine resistance to cold and
decay with great nutritive value are
being selected. The list is as follows:
List Nc. 1 includes absolutely in
dispensable articles and is made up of
bacon, flour, peameal, onions, tea, salt
and pepper. These things are to go if
anything is taken. It will be noticed
that In food value onions are set ahead
of potatoes, and that tea is taken in
stead of coffee. Both potatoes and
coffee are provided for in list No. 2,
which is made up of articles that are
to be carried in addition to those in the
first list if there Is accommodation for
them. This list is: Dried fruits, (ap
ples, prunes or raisins) dessicated po
tatoes and coffee. If the transporta
tion facilities are equal to a still furth
er load then the articles in list No. 3
will be added as follows: Fresh meat
In cans, sugar and tobacco.
ALGER'S ILLNESS.
Conflicting; Report* nn to the Sec
retary* Condition.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 28.— Secretary
Alger, who has been confined to his
home by a severe cold, is decidedly im
proved and will probably be at thd
department in a few days.
Chicago, Dec. 28.— The Post's Wash
ington special says: "Gen. Alger sec
retary of war, is a very Bick man. Ha
is lying critically ill at his residency
from an acute attack of the grippe,
with typhoid symptoms. It is only
within the last few hours that his con
dition became such as to warn his fam
ily. Up to yesterday afternoon he con
tinued to discharge some of his official
duties. This he did while lying in l>ed
and against the advice of his physi
cians. Since then, however, he has be
come very much weaker. Gen. Algef
has not been in robust health for s mia
time. It has been his practice to giva
too much attention to the details of tha
business of the war department, and ha
has really done a greater amount of
actual work than he was Obliged to.
All this told on him and he is now suf
fering from the effects of too close ap
plication to his official labors.
