Of union with the Canadian church came
up. At the close Of the speeches pro and
con, series Of resolutions were read de-.
clsring the union consummated and all
conditions fulfilled and thst the general
conference will support it - strongly ss
possible. When the vote came to be
taken, on the ayes and nays. many voters
desired to explain their position or TO favor
the union, but not the clause which said
all conditions had been fulfilled. The
audience was In . continuous uproar and
owing to the number Of explanations made
the vote proceeded slowly. When Bishop
Payne was called he said the union was
based on deception, suppression and
absolute lying, and voted against It. This
created sensation and some hisses were
heard. All the rest Of the bishops voted
yea and the resolutions were adopted.

She Can't Monkey with Americans.


Concerning the enforcement Of military
duty required by France of naturalized
American citizens, Secretary Bayard in
structs Minister McLane to inform NJ.
Flourens that the government Of the
United States holds that decree of nat
uralization granted by II to French citizens
is not open to impeachment by the French
government, either in it's executive or its
judicial branch, and that if it is alleged to
have been improvidently issued the remedy
is by application to the department of
state. "You will further say" writes the
secretary, that il the subsection to forced
military service Of the citizens whose cases
you report is based upon the assumption
that they are not ci liens of the United
States, this department asks for their i'm
mediate release and for proper compensa-
ton for the losses they have received by
such detention. 1t cannot be admitted
that American citizens not charged with
any crime should be detained under arrest
for even single day after their proofs Of
citizenship have been presented. In eases
like this the United States can never ad-
NIT the propriety of submitting to the
ordinary delays Of judicial action"

Valuable Iron Discoveries.
Late valuable discoveries are reported in
the iron ore region, north OF Duluth,
Minn., in the Messba range, and from
present indications that locality viii soon
be much more we'll known and appreciated.
For many years the Mesaba range has,
with other districts north Of Vermillion,
suffered the imputation that its ores bore
titanium, rendering them unfit for the
furnace. Now it is proved that the pres
ence of titanium has been greatly exsgger-
ated and that most Of the ore Of the range
is OF the best character. Several experi-
enced explorers have been in the district
lately. and ~ result several heavy trans

Development on this tract will soon begin
on large scale. Parties are making ar
rangements to 60 to work and 1t will soon
be known whether the ore of the 'Mesaba
is as valuable as that of vermillion. Ore
assays lately made indicate that il in valu-
able enough to make very profitable min
ing. There has also been lately discovered
class of soft ore like that of the Gogebic,
and which will be of great value, forming
an excellent mixture with the harder ores
OF the northern range. The Mesaba Iron
company, of which ex- Secretary of War
Ramsey is president, intends to begin ac-
tive work on the range at once.

times in ten years, and is exceeded materi.
ally only by that OF 1879, when sthe condi-
tion was 98 and thesubsequent ascertained
yield % bushels. The present average con-
dition is 80, against 942 in September.
There has been no decline in the north
west. The indications favor a result rang.
ing but little from 26 bushels per acre,
making full average. The returns rela.
tive to wheat are those of the yield per
acre by counties. AS consolidated the gen
eral average for winter wheat is IL bush
els per acre, and for spring wheat Slightly
over 10 bushels. The former has yielded
better than the early expectation, the latter
much worse. This is of course in meas
ured bushels. The quality is much below
the average, Which will still further reduce
the supply. The spring wheat averages
are: Wisconsin, 1l.8 bushels; Minnesota,
81; Iowa, 1913; Nebraska, 1916; Colorado
175; Dakota, 92; Montana, 1866; Washing

chiefs in charge of Agent Mclaughlin

spare time while here in the purchase of
linen busters. John Grass was interviewed
and said he wished the American people to

ing the offer for the opening of the reser-
vation. He then reviewed the objections
in mastery manner and closed by say
ing: "We are not all opposed to disposing
OF any surplus land we may have if fair
and reasonable proposition is made to us.
We have full faith the good inten
tions Of the Great Father in his desire to
do justice to the Indians. The rumor that
the Sioux are liable to resort to arms to op-
pose the act is totally without foundation.
We recognize the power of the government
and now consider ourselves part of it.
We are not SO ignorant as we were ten
years ago and in our present stand simply
refuse to have an unfair act forced upon
us and appeal TO all good white people to
aid us. We are now trying to live like

the supply is already greater than the de-
mand, and it would close. the factories in
which many millions of capital are in

over from Detroit for that purpose. Mr..
Blaine came to the platform holding in his
hand letter addressed to him by w,

to the audience he said: "lf there is a gen
tleman in this audience who signs his
name w. Stearns, desire his attention.
He addresses a personal letter to me which
whether he intends it to be courteous or
not shall endeavor to reply
to courteously. He wants to
know why in the house Of representatives
in 1868 opposed the tax on lumber and
why am now in favor of continuing the
tariff on lumber. Well, suppose he has
read the Congressional Globe, for he gives
the page and date, but if he reads it again
he will find that opposed an internal tax
on lumber and that it had nothing what
ever to do with the tariff tax on lumber
except to make the tariff more effectual."
