Another charge is that 1 am neglecting
my official duties and not protecting
the interests uad welfare of my coun
trymen. We are informed by the for
eign office that the charges bear the
imprint of the Six Companies. 1 in
formed the companies and they at
once entered a disclaimer cm their
minutes, and that disclaimer will be
forwarded to the minister and by him
to the foreign office. I am informed
that the signatures and imprint ol
the companies are forgeries. It is
quite possible that the charges ema
nate from disgrontled highbinders in
censed at the efforts to stop theit
practices.”
A prominent member of the Six
Companies said: "We are informed
the charges comprise I 2^ articles. Onr
was the charge that a great deal ol
his time was devoted to iws ranine
stable and ‘hat his jockeys wore the
national colons, a yellow dragon jack

“Than there were other charges oi

Railroads Which Were Tied Up by the
Great March Blizzard Are Once
More In a Condition to Handle
Freight and Passenger Traffic.
St. Paul, March 20.—Business an the
three transcontinental lines which
cross the state of North Dakota has
about resumed normal conditions, now
that needy a full week has passed
since the beginning of the great
March blizzard, althov^h a few minor
branch lines remain to be cleared ct
snow. The Soo line got its first train
through yesterday. The Northern Pa
cific's blockade lasted 131 hours, ami
the fust tram from the Pacific coas-t
to arrive in St. Paul since Friday of
last week came in at 2:30 this morn
ing. Six eastbound limited train;
were caught in the drifts. Traffic of
the Great Northern was resumed to
day when three “flyers” arrived close
together. The blockade lasted 144
hours, the longest interruption of traf
fic the system has ever experienced.
Although put to great expense to
clear the tracks and suffering heavy
lo sses in traffic, the railroad officials
were much pleased with the heavy
snowfall, because it gives needed
moisture to the Dakota wheat fields.
This fact also seemed to please the
new settlers, over 2.000 ©i whom pass
ed tnrough the St. Paul gateway to
their new homes within the past 24
horrs most of them coming from Tn

Opposed to Public Hangings.
Jackson. Miss., March 2b.-- A lusty
protest is going up from all parts of
the state over the action of boards or'
supervisors in allowing public hang
ings o? men upon whom the death
sentence has been pronounced. The
matter is of particular interest just at
this time, owing to the large number
of legal executions set for dates in the
near future. In many instances com
mittees of citizens are going before
the supervisors to enter personal pro
tests against the general public be
ing allowed tc witness the grewsome

Bleeding from'five knife wounds on
bis left side and declaring that h
bad been cut by the noted Gus
Abernethy. the negro who recently
escaped from the chain gang, James
■ba*'Cil, a drunken white mao, was
’■'•ken to the police station in <iha*
1 tte Saturday night at 9:30 o’clock
to have his wounds dressed. Stan-
cil’s condition excited no sympathy.
By his own admission he was in the
nouse of Gmoe Miller, colored, when
oe was attacked by two men, one < f
vhora he avers is Abernethy. The
wounds were made with a small pen
knife, and were evidently the work ol
a forceful arm. E*ch knife thrust
out through Standii’s clothes and
tinted an ugly gash on bis side or
back.
