road at Ramsey, Travelled along the road to
Lanesboro, then southerly across Caledo.
MIA, New Albin, Iowa, Victory, Wis, and
thence into the state, expending it's force.

fired from cannon At Victory, small
town in Vernon county, Wis, the storm
lasted thirty minutes. during which time it
was as dark as night, except for binding
flashes OF lightning. Buildings were ruined
and shade trees two feet in diameter torn up
by the roots. Not a house in the village

Settlers May Remain on Winnebago Res
ervatiOn.


Washington Special:-Gen. LAWYER o.
Prairie du Chen, Wis, in behalf OF the in
terests OF the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul road, and the settlers now on the Win
nebago reservation, Dakota, recently had
all interview with the president topersuade
him to suspend his orderrevoking President
Arthur's proclamation opening that reser-
walton to public settlers. The president is
said to have admitted that his action was
made in great doubt as to it's justice anC
propriety and that he is disposed to dc
all that he can fairly and justly to pro
tect any supposed rights OF settlers up
on that land. He would not for the
world harm any man who is there in good
faith, and he will gladly exercise the
prerogatives of his office in favor OF any
family on the reservation innocently and
honesty in search of a home. His order was
issued for the purpose OF preventin, what
he supposed to be fraud of the clear est char
acter and it was only upon the understand
ing that set of sharks and land grabbers
had persuaded Secretary Teller to open that
land and give them the opportunity to get
hold of it that Mr.. Arthur's order was re-
voked. The president indicated that he
would permit honest settlers now on the
ground to remain there until congress shoul6
meet and adjust the whole matter. In this
way his order would be practically suspend
ed in their behalf. In his first message tc
congress he will distinctly define the actor
taken and the situation as it is, and recon-
mend such action as will be just to all con.
| ccrned.

Let 1t Stand on Its Merits.

Congress having failed to pass the
river and harbor bill, the Represen-
tatives Of the Mississippi river section are
divided in opinion with respect to the
best course to pursue IN continuing the
work OF improving the river. They held
meeting Monday, and having been in
formed OF the amount Of money available
for the river, concluded to ask the Presi-
dent to so change the membership of the
Mississippi River Commission that it
would favor Capt. Eads' plan for imprOv-
ing the river.
Some of those present INDUCED in pretty
sharp criticisms on the River and Harbor
Committee of the last House. They
charged that the committee was respon-
sible for the failure of the river and har-
Dor bill. They further urged that in the
future appropriations for the Mississippi
river should be made in a separate bill.
We are not so much interested in the
plan adopted for the improvement of the
Mississippi river as We are in having the
appropriation for it made in separate
bill. One of the great objections to the
river and harbor bill is the large amount
which it anpropriates. If it were not for
the Mississippi river appropriation 1t
would be at least a third less. 1t is prob
able that it would have passed last Con-
gress if it had not been loaded down with
that appropriation. The fve-milliOn bill
which passed the House was defeated in
the Senate simply because Senator Van
| Wyck insisted, for several hours, on talk
ing about the Mississippi river levee sys-
| TEN.
We have no objection to the improve
nent of the Mississippi, but we do OBJ
| ject to having appropriations for rivers
and harbOrs in this section of the South
defeated by the claims of that river.
The Mississippi river people themselves
! ought to see that their interes is in the
! direction of a separate bill. Two small
bills are passed much more readily than
1 one large one, although the large one ap-
| prOpriates no more than the small ones.
The Mississippi river appropriation was
| originally put in the river and harbor
/ bill in order to make that bill help carry
| l.. 1t needs no such help now. Congress
| is committed to the improvement OF the
river, and all that is necessary to get an
annual appropriation is to keep the APP
preparation within reasonable limits. We
/ hope that the Representatives from this
| State in next Congress will insist that
! the Mississippi river improvement shall
/ be divorced from the other public i'm
prOvements. 1t is able now to stand on
| its merits.
