WIZARDS EXCURSION.
The Party Passes Through Dakota-Re-
ceived with Great Enthusiasm.

FARGO D. T., Sept. 4--The first section of
the Willard excursion train arrived at IL
o'clock, and the last at $780, All Northern
Pacific buildings in the city are decorated
with wheat, evergreens and bunting. Five
carloads of evergreens and forty-five acres
of oats and wheat were used in the display.
Besides the stars and stripes the flags of
France, Germany and England were dis
played. Arches extended over the railroad
tracks, immense vegetables were shown,
bands OF music were out and several
thousand people filled the platform steps
and park, and there were 500 school
children on the grass in the park. Speeches
were made by a dozen or more excursion
lists. The last section did not leave until 2:30,
and it drew out followed by the most demon
strative exhibition possible of good will.
From Fargo the trans sped west right into
the heart of the great wheat belt. The scene
on either side of the window was enough to
enthuse every one. At this time most of
the wheat is cut, and the ground, so far
as the eye could reach was COW
cred with the golden shock. The
production of wheat this year is very large.
The whole country appeared to have donned
holiday attire in honor of the occasion.
Crowds were at every station, and all build
ings of high or low degree we're more or less
trimmed with flags and banners or other
tokens of welcome. At Sanborn, new city
started and controlled by young men, was
one of the best displays of bountfu gifts yet
seen. Alongside the track was an improvised
exposition of agricultural products, and on
the opposite side two threshing machines
were duly employed

A FRENCH OUTRAGE.
English Fishing Vessels Stripped and Their
Crews Maltreated.

English Fishing Vessels Stripped and Their
Crews Maltreated.
ST. JOINS, n. f., Sept. Admiral Com
merel, of the British flagship Northampton,
to-day investigated the serious outrage per-
petrated on four British vessels by French
fishermen, headed by a shore captain, at
Cape Onions. on the northeast corner of
Newfoundland. Early in August the British
fishing vessels came to an anchorage at Cape
Onions for COD fishing As soon as they
launched a skiff number of Frenchmen or
dered them To weigh anchor and quit. They
refused whereupon the Frenchmen com
menced to unbend their sails, seized their
oars and carried them to shore. Having
stripped three vessels they next boarded the
schooner Comet. Captain Ayleward showed
fight, delivering some lusty blows on the
Frenchmen and putting them to fight. The
ASSISTANTS then turned on Captain Ayleward
and his crew with boat hooks and gaffs and
severely maltreated them. They then
stripped his vessel Two days after a French
war cruiser arrived, and after some inquiry
restored the sails and gear to the vessels, but
ordered them to quit the harbor. All four
vessels retired, under protest. The people of
Newfoundland are indignant at the violent
outrage, and il is not unlikely to lead to in
ternational complications

The Unhappy Condition of Statesman Rock,
Who Sold Himself.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
SPRINGFIELD, Sept. At will be remem-
bered that during the session of the Legis-
lature in this State last winter an extraor-
binary scandal was created while the Harper
high-license bill was pending in the House,
by the recreancy of one Jesse J. Rock, from
the Eleventh Chicago district. Rock was Re-
publican, but being greatly lacking in per-
sonal force and decision he was beset by the
Democratic faction employed by the liquor
interest and, as has been repeatedly charged
and mover seriously denied, was corrupted
and led over to the opposition at time when
his vote alone was necessary to break dead
lock then existing on the bill. Rock, who is
only about thirty-two years old, was first
captured, tits alleged, by the payment to
hm of 5000 or 800, which came to him
through the hands of the agents of the
liquor dealers association and through
leading gambler of this city. Then he was
led through q course of the most disgraceful
| dissipation, and during this period of revelry
the money was either stolen from him, or
| won from him at cards, when he was not in
condition to take care of himself, by the
very men originally instrumental in leading
| him astray. When he awoke to the gravity
of the situation, and saw that he had not
only been robbed of his reputation, but of
the petty price paid for it, he was discoh-
tented, and it became necessary to quiet him
again. This was done by promising him any
one of three or more positions under the city
government of Chicago. Rock being poor,
and seeing that having made his bed with
the Democrats, he would be obliged to lie in
| 1t, stood his ground to the last, acted almost
continuously with the Democracy through
out the rest of the session, and opposed the
| high-license measure at every step. few
days ago an officer of the last House, citi-
| zen of this city, met Rock in Chicago, and
| had a conversation with him. The unfortu-
nate young politician bewaIled his lot sadly.
| He said that these pretended polit-
| cal friends of his had not
only robbed him, but had failed
to fulfil a single one of their promises to
him. He had applied repeatedly for the
place promised him, but had uniformly
been put off. He has, ever since tho session,
been out of employment, is walking about
the city wearing an anxious look, and,
briefly stated, is in very needy circum-
stances He described himself as living
example of the results of trusting Demo-
cratic promises. He is to-day cast off by the
Democrats who corrupted him as COM
pletely as by the Republicans, who demon
strated to their satisfaction that be could
not be saved, and that, if he could, he was
hardly worth saving.
A curious sequel to this story is the fact
that one OF the men who organized the raid
which despoiled poor Rock was recently in
this city, and the fact has leaked out
that he is laying system of
wires for the purpose of narrow
ing down the Democratic candidates. for the

Seeking to Place the Responsibility of the
Stegiitz Accident Where 1t Belongs.
BERLIN, Sept. 4.-The fatal railroad dis
aster at steglitz has long been apprehended.
The government, after its purchase of the
Berlin & Potsdam railway asked the Diet to
vote sum sufficient to alter and enlarge the
depot at Steglitz, the Minister OF Finance,
in his request, therefore, stating that he was
unable, under the existing dangerous cir
cumstances, to undertake the responsibility
for the lives of the great number OF passen-
gers which were constantly imperiled if the
grant sought to be obtained was refused. A
vote was taken upon this request by the Diet
and rejected. The reactionary press threw
the blame for the accident upon National
Liberals in the Diet they having refused to
vote upon the question. The Emperor has
ordered a committee to make rigid inquiries
into the cause of the accident.

Special to the indianapolis journal
WABASH, Sept. The correspondent of
the Journal at Fort Wayne is mistaken as
to the condition of Mr.. George Lawrence,
the prominent banker at North Manchester,
who, the correspondent alleges, has been
taken to private asylum in Chicago for treat
ment. Mr.. Lawrence has for some time been
suffering with an hallucination brought
about by dyspepsia, and it has at no time
been thought necessary by his friends to re-
move him 80 an asylum, and the trouble was
generally regarded as being only Temporal
ry one. His trip to Chicago is a combination
of business and pleasure, and it is hoped that
trip up the lakes, which will be taken be-
fore Mr.. Lawrence returns, will be very bene-
fetal and that he will come home with perfect
physical and mental health.
