A HEAVY OUTPUT
OF Flour, and the Market Steadily
Improving.

Improving.
The Northwestern Miller will say TO-
morrow: "The mills ran unexpectedly
heavily last week, and averaged over
$4,000 barrels of flour per day. The
weeks output was 500 barrels-av-
eraging 25,420 barrels daily-against
10000 barrels the week before, and
139, 400 barrels for the corresponding
Power company has some work
to do which requires an empty
canal, and the water will be shut out
tomorrow and kept out Wednesday
and Thursday, and possibly longer.
AS all but three of the mills depend ON
this canal for their power, it will be
readily seen that at least one-third of
the weeks output will be cut off, and
many look for to-day to practically
end this weeks operations with the
mills OH the West side canal. The ex-
tremely hot weather lately prevailing
makes the wheat grind much less free
~, and cuts down the working capacity
of the mills to quite a perceptible ex-
tent. There has been a very appreciable
improvement in the flour market the
past week, it taking the form of con-
slderably better demand, both at home
and abroad. The feeling is evidently
gaining ground among conservative
members of the trade that values
will rather advance than decline
further, and there is an inclina-
ton to buy more freely in conse-
quence. Local quotations for flour are
the same as week ago, but they are
held more firmly, with buyers bidding
quite freely at figures higher than here,
tofore offered. Several orders of 10. 900
to $1,000 barrels are reported to have
been booked for export, and this branch
OF trade is regarded as of much more
encouraging appearance than formerly.
The direct exports of flour for the week
were the largest for several weeks.
Ihey were $4,000 barrels against 81, roo
barrels the preceding week.

PASSED INTO HISTORY.
The Celebrated WEIGH Libel In
dictmentS Thrown Ont.

uIcIUnentS lhFOWn OuC.
The famous Welch-Vilas libel suits.
in which William WEIGH, the aged and
well known attorney, was charged with
having criminally libeled Postmaster
General Villas, in charging that he had
wrecked Wisconsin insurance COM
pany, are now thing of the past, the
nine indictments against Mr.. WEIGH
having been dismissed yesterday morn
ing before Judge Hicks. The dismissal
the public for SO long, has
not given generalE satisfaction to
every one, and there are persons
unkind enough to charge that it Is due
to certain extent to political influences
in certain quarters. The technical
ground. upon which the cases were dis
missed, however, was for 'the want of
prosecution;" but it is also said that
another reason was because Assistant
County Attorney JamiSon and Judge
Hicks did not want the county to bear
the expense of trial Gen. Villas should
have stood. When the case was called
yesterday morning, Mr.. Jamison, for
the state, moved for a continuance, and
in supporting his motion presented the
affidavit of James Hutchinson, SOIL of
the old Madison Insurance company.
and one of the attorneys who assisted
in the former trial. In his affidavit Mr..
Hutchinson declared that it would be
impossible to proceed with the trial
in the absence of County Attorney
Davis. He had understood that the
case was to be continued over the term
and consequently was not prepared
with the evidence that he desired to in
troduce. The new evidence is that Of
William f. Villas, Breese J. Stevens,
w. A. p. Morris and l.. K. Luse, all of
Madison. BY this testimony it was ex-
pected to correct Mr.. Welch's version of
the interview in which it is claimed that
Mr.. Villas confessed that he appropri-
ated $4,000 of the funds of the insur-
ance company. This, in Judge Hicks
opinion, was not sufficient grounds to
warrant continuance, and he accord
ingly dismissed the case.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Congressman
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, said to-day:
There has been gradual crystaliza-
ton of sentiment since the convention
in favor of an early adjournment. / am
not prepared to say that an agreement
has been reached between the two par
ties, nor that word has been passed
around for discontinuance of discus
sion of the clauses of the Mills
bill. But it is generally understood
that the Republicans will recede. or
have receded, from their attitude of
parliamentary delay, and the end of this
session is in sight. l am not so SAN
guine as to believe with Mr.. Mills that
an adjournment can be reached by the
18th; but before the end of this month
congress will have adjourned and the
Mills bill will have passed the
house by strict party vote.
The Republicans have concluded to
allow the bill to pass and let the Demo-
Gratis have the censure for it. We be-
lieve in this policy and will certainly re-
ceive the praise of the people at the
polls for our pertinacity in forcing the
issue on the line of the presidents mes
sage and the st. Louis platform for the
reduction of the surplus revenue from
excessive tariff taxes and the relief of
the masses from the unnecessary bur
dens imposed upon them by the eX-
igencieS of war long since ended.

DIAZ,S REELECTION

The preliminaries to the formal cleo
ton on next Sunday of a president of
Mexico have taken place so quietly that
comparatively few people know that a
presidential campaign has been finished
in that country.
Mexico is so in the habit of raising a
low whenever politica questions some
up for consideration that the extreme
quiet and peacefulness of this election
becomes more conspicuous. 1t has re-
suited in the reelection, practically
without opposition, of President DIAz
for four years from the 1st of December
next. The MeXicans also elect their
president by means Of electors, and
these electors will meet next Sunday to
formally announce DIAZ as their choice.
His reelection is the most fortunate
thing that could have happened to Mexi-
co. Since the downfall of MAMMALIAN
and the beginning of the Republican
era, there has been no one in MeXico's
executive chair who has as we'll under
stood the wants of the country and of
the people, or who has been as pro-
gressive in his ideas and as successful
in carrying them out as President DIAZ.
He recognizes the fact that Mexico is
a country behind the times, and, with
rare Judgment, ne is leaving no stone
unturned to bring her to the position
among nations which she deserves.
Not the least among the advantages
which MeXicans derive from his presi
dency is the assurance of intimate and
cordial relations with the United States
which he has made possible.
MeXico's development must be de-
pendent largely upon enterprise having
its origin in this country, and that DIAZ
is disposed to cement the friendly rela-
tiOns existing between the two should
be gratifying fact to both Mexico and
the United States.

P. II. CARNEY, Chairman.

The secession of Attorney General
Clamp from the McGill ranks, as an
nounced in yesterdays GLOBE, causes
no surprise to those who have known
for weeks that his sympathies were
with Albert Schetfer. and that he was
doing secret work in his interests. But
the reason for his doing so has not been
made public. The GLOBE secured it
yesterday from close friend of MI.
Clapp'S:
"Mr. Clapp has reached the opinion
that no Republican can be elected gov
ernor in Minnesota this year but Albert
Scheffer. 1t was natural then that,
coming from a Farmers alliance dis
trict, and having most of his friends
among them, Mr.. Clapp should finally
declare himself for their cause"
This bolt settles one thing, viz: that
if Scheffer is beaten Mr.. Clapp will not
be the Republican nominee for attorney
general, but more than likely the indie
pendent candidate for that office OH the
Scheffer ticket.
The disaster that has followed Gov.
McGill since his nomination two years
ago seems even to have pursued him
into the state ticket that helped him
out. Here's Clapp-a bra ny, capable
fellow-off on tangent: Braden, who
is popular with the people, nursing a
dark horse boom; Rice, who is strong In
himself, making sleeps eyes at the
governorship: Mattson, undecided yet
where to drop, and only Bobleter and
Jones left to help the governor out.
Jenes is not much of a politician, but
Bobleter has host of friends, and is
worth considerable to any candidate.
The Prohibition state convention of
Minnesota, to be held July "a in st.
Paul, promises in every way to be the
greatest affair of its kind ever sprung.
The reason for this lies in the fact that
you cannot find discouraged ''dry" adj
vocate in the state. They have got a
campaign fund, innumerable county
organizations, and half a dozen
more newspapers than supported them
in 1886. They feel that they are gain
ing ground. and that makes their on
slaughts all the more fierce. While the.
high-license people and the liquor in
terests are content to let the presenl
temperance law stand, the Prohibitions
''never-let-up" yell. This year their
energies are bent to smashing the Re-
publican party. Go among them and
you cannot find one but who believes
that this is the last campaign of the
Republicans on the basis of their pres
ent organization. Mr.. Bartram. one of
of their prominent speakers, said re-
Gently:
I'VE will poll the biggest vote we ever
had in New York state this year"
They are not idle in any section of
the state, and have ten women and min
listers at work where there was only
VI
their coming state convention one OF
great interest.
While Mr.. COmstock, the Republican
nominee for congress in the Fifth dis
trict, profeSsedly claims to be a tariff
reformer of the Nelson stripe, evidence
is coming to hand daily showing that
he is protectionist and accepts the
Chicago platform. 1t seems that lie has

New YORK, July 3.-As a result of
the attempt of the board of electrical
control to force the United States Il
wires in the subway conduits,
the company ceased tonight
to supply its customers and
Broadway and Sixth avenue above
Fourteenth street were left in compar-
tive darkness. The company claims
that, as no way has been provided for
running branch wires out of the con-
duits to its customers, the order to put
its wires in the conduits is practically
an order to suspend business. The
question will be tested in the courts.

The surplus was piling up daily, yet the

TIMBER CONTRACT FRAUDS.
The Senate Resumes Its Investi-
cation of the Wisconsin Cases

The Senate Resumes Its Inyesti-
cation of the Wisconsin Gases.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The senate
select committee on Indian traderships
resumed its investigation last night
into the charges of fraud in the letting
of timber contracts on the Chippewa
Indian lands in Wisconsin. d. L. Nc
Kay, state lumber inspector of Chip
pewa Falls, Wis.,, was called to the
stand to testify as to the value of
Stumpage on Indian reservations in that
district. one of the charges being that
the Indians on the Chippewa reserva-
ton were not paid the full value of
their timber. Witness during the last
season purchased about 25,000.000 feet
of timber for other persons on the Flam-
beau river. The average Stumpage
price had been about "a per 1000, or 25
cents more than Agent Gregory had
stated was the
HIGHEST PRICE EVER PAID
any Chippewa Indians for stumpage.
On cross-eXamination witness said that
his lumber was not cut from the Flam-
beau reservation, nor from land imme-
diately adjacent to it. His lumber did
not ~have to be driven so far down
stream as the lumber in regard to which
the investigation was ordered.
William McKinnon, of Chippewa
county, Wis. testified to having gone on
the FIambeau reservation for the pur-
pose of making contracts with the In
dams for lumber. He gave the Indians
about 81 600 under verbal agreements,
and when he asked Agent Gregory
about taking contracts was told this
would not be legal. Afterwards Greg
DRY let Sherman and others make con-
tracts. Witness was not successful in
efforts he made after hearing of Sher-
mans contracts, and had finally left the
reservation, losing the advances made
except 500 received from Capt. Henry.
who took one of his contracts. 1t looked
to witness as if somebody else always
got in ahead anyway, and he quit. The
average value of the timber he estimated
at 81 1000, and some of it which Sher-
man cut was worth SIS. Witness had
agreed verbally to pay the Indians 1928
and 1925, which was higher, as he I'M
derstOod, than had been previously
offered. though he admitted on crOss-eX-
animation not as much as the timber
was worth.

FOURTH Of JULYITES,

we never nave q cnance TO know
how many continental fools there are in
the world until the Fourth of July
comes around" growled the Old Citizen
as he sought refuge in the GLOBE
building last night from the firecracker
fuSilade in the streets.
~
The most unique thing in the way of
an official document that has ever been
heard of in this skirt of the woods is
Mayor AMEs' Fourth of July proclama-
ton, published ON the Minneapolis
page of the GLOBE. 1t is breezy and
woolly, and every way characteristic of
the wild Western genius of liberty.
Mayor AMEs takes the part of the small
boy against that fossilated class of the
community who would deprive him of
the inalienable right boys possess of
making the natal day of Independence
hideous with din and clatter and sui
phurouS smoke.
~
Mayor AMEs tells the Minneapolis
boys to go in and whoOp her up, but
judiciously advises that they congregate
in that part of the city where stone
pavements are the fashion, and that
they refrain from igniting their pop
crackers in the vicinity of wooden tene-
ments. So far as thesadult ''celebrators"
are concerned, he takes issue with the
Father of his Country as to the advisa-
bility of celebrating with rum. At least,
he wisely urges that alcoholic stimu-
lantS be used in moderation.
~
Our own citizens would be wise to fol-
low Mayor AMEs' suggestion as to the
propriety of removing all rubbish and
cOmbustible material so that the fire.
crackers can find nothing to feed on. 1t
is an exceptional Fourth of July that
| doesn't bring a lot of first-class fires in
its train, and too much precaution can
not be taken to prevent them.
~
Oh, my, how the nervous woman and
the neuralgia man will dread this day.
Some of them will wish before midnight
that the Britishers had succeeded in
suppressing the continental rebellion.

Philanthropic people should remem-
! Der that there are poor boys in the city
not able to buy bunch of firecrackers.
