ST. PACL , Minn. , Augusts. | Specinl Tele
gram to TUB BUB. ] Lute yesterday after-
Boon the St. Paul team pounded Kid Nichols
Jor six runs in the ninth Inning , nnd to-day
they began operations by making llvo singles
and a double off Clark for four earned runs
In the first. They kept up the leather lar
ruping in the second and third innings , and
Manager Soloo brought Willis in from center
field to the box as a last resort. No safe
hits were made in the fourth Inning , but the
Apostles resumed operations in the fifth and
made hits just about when they liked during
the remainder of the gamo. Meckln was the
St. Paul pitcher at the start , but Cleveland
hit him for a triple and Strauss for a home
run In the first inning nnd Willis , Strauss
and Cooncy for singles in the third , nnd Man
ager Barnes got scared and substituted
Mams. The tall twlrler was never in better
form and for four innings the Nebraskuns
went down like chad before the wind. In
the ninth Inning ho simply tossed the ball
over the pjato and nllowod the visitors to hit
It. The Holding feature was a great catch
by Coonoy nt deep cenlor. Score :

The Council Bluffs driving park yesterday
afternoon was the theatre of one of the most
enthusiastic nnd exhilcr&ting sporting events
that was over witnessed in the great west.
It was the grand fox cbaso under the all
spices of the Omaha and Council BltifTs Fox
Hunting club.
As early as 2 o'clock the grand stand was
packed with a motley crowa of spectators ,
while the paddock was n very sea of eager ,
excited men und boya , and the carriage way
tilled with vehicles.
After a martial strain or two by thn band ,
that grizzled old hero of a thousand fox
chases , Tom McDermott , lifted his bugle to
Ills ruby lips , and its silvery peals awoke u
thousand echoes , announcing to the expect
ant throng that the sport was about to begin.
A moment later n man on horseback
galloped across the field und into the enclos
ure encircled by the race track. Ho was
dragging u dead fox attached to a rope
behind him , uaU Whipper-in Tobo Broderiolr.
informed the breathless spectators that ho
was making a preparatory trail to test the
hounds. Tne rider with the defunct roynard
made the entire circuit of the course , and
then another blast from old McDermott ,
and the hounds , some twenty In number ,
wore unleashed , Tnoy Immediately took up
the scent , nnd in full cry dashed off through
the grass und weeds on the trail of the dead
fox , holding it as unerringly as a man would
u track in afoot of snow. Ouoot ouoo ! ouoo I
oooo I cnmo the liquid muslo of their tongues ,
now near , now far , as the shifting winds
toyed with the sound. This was indond u
beautiful sight , and almost repaid the largo
crowd for all the trouble they hud under
gone to witness the sport.
After the hounns had followed the trail
around the entire course and bnck to the
barn , Toba Broderlck appeared with n llvo
fox In his grasp a poor , little , half grown ,
ducropld chicken thief , that probably hadn't
had n sniff of fresh air from the day of his
cubdom. This ho earned out into thu muldlo
of the enclosure and turned it loose. But It
wouldn't run and ho hud to give it several
gentle reminders with the too of hla boot ,
when it got up and slunk off u few yards into
the high weeds. Again the hounds were
freed , nnd again away they went full-
mouthed. Iu a few moments they were onto
the fox. Ho wouldn't run u lick , and the
hounds , out of pity , rolusod to kill him. So
ho was tenderly gathered up und returned to
his cuge in the burn ,
The next fox broucht forth was a coyote.
The moment ho was given his liberty ho got
< ip and dusted in lively style , but was soon
hidden from view among the exuberant Jimson -
son woods. The hounds were given tlio
trull and away they dusted right merrily ,
closely followed by the Ouiuha and Council
Bluffs fox hunting club , consisting of Tobu
Broderick , Charlie McCormick , Billy Haw
ley und Billy Maloney , on horsobacu. The
hounds quickly brought the wolf to bay , and
immediately lay down iu a circle about him
so he couldn't escape , until the vali
ant clubmen galloped up. Hilly Hnwly was
the tlrst one . "in at the death" that's what
Whlpper-ln Tobo called it und ho Jumped
down off his horse und grabbed the crouch-
lug coyote up in his arms , determined to
have Indisputable elului upon the first prize.
"Don't hurt mo , Mr. Huwley , " said the
coyote to Billy , "and I'll ride UP to the
judge's stand with you and never say a
word. "
"All right , " responded Billy , and he and
Br'er Wplf got up on the horse attain und
galloped off to the judge's stand.
"What's to be done nowi" asked the
proud William , m ho pulled up Iu the pres
ence of the Judges ,
"You will tiavo to bite tuo fox'i
tall off. Mr. Hawley , < ind than you
nro entitled to the diamond mounted silver
fox horn. "
The daring hunter , however , declined to
tlo this , nnd the ceremony was dispensed
with. The horn was then presented to Mr.
llawlcy as the first horseman to roach the
quarry , while the riding whip went to Billy
Maloney , the second man In , and the cup to
Chnrllo McCormick , the third prize winner.
Everybody was now In such a stnto of wild
oxcllomontthatWhlppor-ln Brodnrlck said it
would never do to turn another fox loose , ns
there was danger of somebody's going mad ,
nnd ho wouldn't assume the responsibility.
Thereupon the S.CXiO. suckers dispersed , and
the great fox chase faded as a beautiful
dream.

NOIITII PijmH , Neb. , August 3. [ Special
toTiiu Br.n. ] Tun BKB printed the bare
facts oftlio Long cnso rotating to the moot
ing ot the adjourned session of the
district court last Monday , and Its
contlnunnco until October 21 , on motion of
the prosecuting attorneys. There was much
surprise nnd considerable excitement created
when It became known that this tedious nnd
costly case was to bo continued again , and
right up against the next regular session of
court , which meets In November. The do-
fondant's counsel are greatly exercised nnd
quite Indignant. They claim that Judge
Humcr would hardly have granted another
continuance but for the fact that ho knew
that the supreme court hnd adjourned , mak
ing it Impossible for them to appeal
for Long's release to that court. In
lieu of that they now propose to go to Judge
Hninur with such strong und numerous nlli-
davits requesting that ho ulluw some other
judge to sit on the case , that ho can hardly
Ignore them. It will bo remembered that
Long has lain In jail nearly three years nnd
a half ; that the first verdict was sot aside ,
nnd a now trial granted by the supreme
court on account of errors , etc. ; that one
way and another the case has dragged on
until now. At the trial in May Inst tlio jury

for defense claim that , knowing this , the
judge discharged the jury , and against the
protest of counsel. In June they took tlio
ease to the supreme court , which declined to
act on it first , for want of time , and second ,
because the continuance of the case
was sot for July nnd would soon bo heard.
Take it altogether , there Is considerable
bad blood exhibited all along the line , and the
fact that Judge Humor took occasion just before -
fore adjournlug court to lecture the press
und to threaten dire consequences to such ns
should make any comment prejudicial to the
prosecution or defense , does not help mat
ters. The Tribune proceeds to lecture the
judge , nnd says that the warning "was a pro
ceeding of questionable propriety , to say the
least. " Tha Telegraph says that "as his honor
will have nothing but the bare facts given
the public iu thu case , ttlis paper will con
sider its duty shirked if it does not give them

tant to the taxpayers of this county. "

Sioux FAM.S , S. D. , August 3. The South
Dakota constitutional convention practically
closed Its labors to 'day , though final adjourn

the last hours the convention passed upon
some of the most Important matters brought
before the body. The proposed amendment
to the schedule shortening the term of state
olllcors to bo elected In October , thereby
making the elections for stuto rind county
oftlcors coincident , which was de
feated yesterday , was reconsidered and
adopted to-day. Stnto and county officers

stitution of ISSTi the limit of state indebted
ness was tlxed jriO.OOO. The committee con
strued the limitation to bo entirely Indepen

shall bo 120 days. At to-day's session tlio
preamble and bill of rights was discussed at
length. Bartlctt , of Grlggs , wanted to strike
out that part of the preamble referring to
God , claiming it wholly unnecessary , and
when considered in companion with the con
duct of scheming conventions nnd legisla
tures , an inconsistency. Ills amendment ,
however , was rejected , und the preamble of
the Williams constitution was substituted as
follows :
"Wo , the people of North Dakota , grateful
to Almighty God forour religious and civil
liberty , do establish and ordain this constitu
tion. "

iClTcot In This Country.
WASHINGTON , August -Special [ Tele-
grnm to Tin : Btu.J Senator Ctillom recently
sent a letter to a number of prominent rail
road men asking thnlr views on the relations
of the Canadian railroads. Among the re
plies received Isono from Chalrmnn Wnlkor
of the Intor-Stnto railway association , mid
lute member ot the iuter-stato commerce
conitnldslon. Ho says in substance , in begin
ning , that the Canadian lines operating In
this country affect certain parts very favor-
orably , especially New England. In other
parts thu effect is unfavorable. Ho thinks
the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific have
boon largo factors in the development of
Chicago and that the competition of the
Grand Trunk materially aided In bringing
about the long-distunco rates ot the past few
years. It Is obvious that the relations of
these railways to the intcr-stnto commerce
In the United States can by no mentis bo
eradicated. Judge Walker snys In conclu
sion that by treaty or otherwise Canadian
roads operating In this country should bo
made to conform with the inter-state com
merce law.
Item on
CuiOAno , Augusts. ( Special Tologrmn to
TUB Bui : . ) The Kansas City competitors of
the Alton road are bent on revenge. No
now move was made to-dny , but the Knnsns
City committee of the Inter-Stnto Commerce
Hallway association Is busy preparing Its
complaint to the Inter-stale
- commerce com
mission against the demand of the Alton for
participation In the business originating
west of Kansas City. The complaint will bo
based on the alleged illegality of the Alton
paying local rates to roads west of Kansas
City and then taking the trnftlo on its own
line to Chicago at a reduction on the Kan ons
City rate equal to the difference between the
western local and the western proportion
of the through rate. The original
through ruto Is not out , but
the Alton receives loss than the
regular Kansas City local for its
haul. " " "
"Mllllng-In-translt" and
- - "stopping-ln-
transit" rates allow of exactly this reduction
und are everywhere prevalent In the west.
The attempt will now bo made , however , to
have the system declared illegal. Itailroad
men nro about equally divided ns to the
legality of this method of making rates.
President Strong , of the Atchlson , said to
day that thu now tariff of his road , refusing
the pro rate with any Hue east of Kansas
City , will be Issued In a few days. On the
day of Its issue General Muuager Chappcll ,
of the Alton , will give notice of withdrawal
from every western nssoeltaloii. The Alton's
withdrawal from the Western Uailwuy
Weighing Association nnd Inspection
Bureau will bu n bad blow to the
other roads. It will necessitate a
return to the old system of charg
ing for the transportation of live stock
by the cur lend instead of by the hundred.
The Alton's cars nro larger than those of its
competitors and it will practically control
the live stock trufllo. There is not u railroad
nmu in Chicago who believes the situation
will bo cleared up without a demoralizing
row. The Alton's competitors are freely
charging the Alton with allowing its milcaiiu
books to bu scalped. The charge to-dhy
stirred up General Passenger Agent Charl-
ton , of the Alton , to the following reply :
"Absolutely wo have no deals with any
scalpers. The statement 'that 170 of our
tickets were scalped in Chicago in one month
is a deliberate falsehood , told for the uurpnso
of influencing railroad opinion nnd of divert
ing mention of tlio guilty parties on other
roads. When we reduce the rate from Chicago
cage to Denver to S2li we did that to meet the
competition of the liock Island , which road
had been selling at that rate fern
n lonu time before in brokers'
offices in Chicago. Since that rate was re
duced to .i2U , up to date the Kock Island has
had a rate of ? , ' . " > to Denver In brolfor's of
fices. The cut in rates in this way and by
the misuse of mileage tickets has bccotno so
serious that thu Alton has but ono of three
things to do , either reduce the ono way reg
ular rates so us to meet this competition , to
appeal to the intcr-stnto commerce commis
sion to enforce the law , or to do what its
competitors uro now and have baun doing. I
urn , us I always havu been , in favor of
adopting strictly legal action and under the
law promptly reducing our one way rules in
order to meet tins unfair and illegal com pe
tition which we have to encounter , and I
hope this company \yill very speedily adopt
that method of settling this question. "

CHICAGO , Aucust 3. Chairman Walker , of
the Intor-Stato Commerce Hallway associa
tion , has decided several questions submitted
by the Trans-Missouri association concerning
the proposition of the St. Joseph & Grand
railroad to apply differential rates from
points on its line to Duluth. After carefully
reviewing the situation ho says it would
hardly bo fair at the present time to extend
the operation of u tariff the validity of which
is seriously challenged , to another commo
dity until the question is settled. On the
question of grain rates from points in Kan

ruto is authorized cents higher than the
