ITLooKs BETTER NOW.

A week or so ago the careful and con-
sentative editor of the MCorhead News
was quoted as taking very gloomy
view of the crop prospect in the great
hard wheat district. The drouth had
about ruined it. On and since last Sat
urday nearly an inch and half of rain
has fallen, and the News reports it gen.
eral in the Red river valley. AS re-
suit he says that fields that the owners
were ready to abandon as not worth cut
ting will yield fair crop, and the pros
pect is for an average crop generally.
although some fields are beyond resur-
rection. The News says that the rain
has produced cheerfulnesS in the
faces of men nothing else could have
done. This view covers the Dakota, as
well as the Minnesota side of the Red.
There will not be the 100000 bushels
OF wheat the bewildered traveller OF the
New York Tribune reported, but there
will be enough of the golden grain to
make things pleasant and prosperous.

The Remains Of George A. Hamil-
ton Laid to Rest.

The mortal remains of the late George
A. Hamilton we're yesterday inferred at
Oakland cemetery. Mr.. Hamilton was
the local treasurer of the Omaha rail-
road, a member of the State Historical
society and a vestryman of st. Paul's
church. The last sad rights were pre-
ceded by service in st. Paul'S church.
There is nothing so solemn, nor vet so
beautiful as the funeral services of the
Episcopal church, breathing, as it does,
words of hope for the dead and conso-
lation for the living. 1t was impreSsively
performed yesterdays land was reverently
listened to by large number of people,
friends of the deceased. There were
ex-Gov. Ramsey, ex-Gov. Mar
shall. Prof. Fletcher Williams. of
the Historical society; Gov. Merriaml
Gen. Perrin, E. Copper, Messrs. Sloppey
and Eaton, of the st. Paul vestry, and
the employees of the Omaha road in ST.
Paul. The pall-bearers were General
Manager Winter, of the Omaha; Capt!
Blakely, John S. Prince, A. 81. Wilder,
E. F. Drake and j. I. Beaumont. Bishop
Gilbert and Rev. j. Wright, rector of
st. Paul's, conducted the services, the
musical parts of which were rendered
by Miss Katie Gordon, Mrs. Curtis, f,

Me Know the Number of My Days." and

Gordon, were very beautiful.

BRITISH CAPITAL.

A protection organ puts the amount
of British capital invested in this coun-
try during the year past at S2OO,OOO,O 900,
and says the indications are that this
will be doubled before Christmas. 1t
attempts to find an argumentin favor of
protection in this, as contrasted with
British low tariff policy. 1t is not ques-
toned that some of the protected manu-
features have paid the capitalists largely,
although the workmen do not share that
projection. The fact shows, too. that
the British unprotected industries must
have been very prosperous to furnish
more profits than can be we'll invested
in that country. The manufactures in
Great Britain, especially the iron and
steel are more than usually prosperous
of late, and furnish striking contrast
in many respects to the same classes i'll

kIEHLE HONORED.
Title of Doctor of Laws Confer1

Title of Doctor of Laws Conferred
ON the Sc hOol superintendent.
State Superintendent Kiehle was noti-
fed yesterday by the secretary of Ham,
ilton college, New York, that that in
stitution had conferred upon him the
the honorary degree of doctor of laws.
MI. Kiehle's friends throughout the
state will be very much gratitied to
hear of this merited honor. Mr.. Kiehle
has been a great many years connected
with the work of education, both in
this state and elsewhere, and is
counted among the leading educators of
the country. He graduated from the
state normal school at Albany, N. Y,
in 1856, from Hamilton collegeu in 1861,
and the archaeological seminary of
New York city in 1865. He taught
some time in his native state, New York,
coming West to assume the past0rate
of the Presbyterian church at Preston,
MIMI, which he held for several years.
The six years, beginning 1869. Mr..
Kiehle was county superintendent of
schools for Fillmore county. In 1873
he was elected member of the state
normal board. and held the position for.
two years, when he was called to the
presidency of the st. Cloud Normal
school. This position he held for six
years, leaving it to take up the duties of
superintendent of public instruction of
the state. He was originally appointed
by Gov. Pillsbury, subsequently twice
by Gov. Hubbard, once by Gov. McGilI,
and once by Gov. Merriam. Mr..
Kiehle's work as superintendent has
been during what might be called the
formative period of education in the
state, and his influence has been largely
in the development of the state high
school system, the agricultural depart
ment of the university, the normal
schools and the system of common
schools.

A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE.

1t seems a little strange that the sue
cessful bidders for contract to build
the iron fence on new bridge in Bos-
ton came from Dalton, Ga. The iron
men of Massachusetts and Pennsyl-
vania could not do the work so cheaply.
1t may be noted that the last census
shows 10000 tons of rolled iron and
steel produced in New England. Two
years ago this had fallen to 10000. In
the seven years one-half of the rolling
mills in Maine had died, with per-
centage ranging from 20 to SO also in
Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island. They will all die out unless
they can secure free ore and coal. The
manufactures of the East. especially
those that use wool, coal and iron ore,
are beginning to clamor for free raw
materials. This will soon be the en-
phaUic New England voice, and posi-
bly, the iron industries of the South will
be the chief applicants for government
protection and coddling.

Auspicious Opening Of the Sixth

special to the Globe.
WAsECA, Mimi, July 5.-The sixth
annual Chautauqua assembly opened at
Maplewood Park, near this city, to-
night. For several days past the casual
observer might have noticed the influx
of strangers and the immense quantities
of luggage moving toward the park and
infer that a new settlement was being
made. Nearly 100 tents are already
erected in the park, together with many
substantial and beautiful cottages,
some of which have been erected this
year. These, in connection with the
stores, wherein are settled all the neceS-
sites for camp life, well furnished
lunch counters and several large tents
fitted up with cots and divided into
rooms and furnished give to the place
the appearance of city of sheets. The
stores are nicely arranged in regular
order, and not scattered promiscuously
about the park as is usual in such cases.
Everything about the place indicates
part of the assembly directors. Fully
large auditorium where the exercises
of the evening were carried on.
The Waseca Cornet band furnished
the music for the opening, and several
noted clergymen and lecturers adj
dressed the audience on different
branches of the assembly work. Among
these were Rev. II. G. Jennings. of st.
Paul; Prof. c. c. Case, of Cleveland, O.;
Rev. Clemmens and B. S. Lewis, attor
neys Of the association, and others. A
prominent feature of the evenings en-
tertainment was the appearance of the
st. Paul Ladies' quartette, consisting OF
the Misses L. B. Erwin, j. G. Thomp-
son, E. Wilson and III. Eddy, all OF st.
Paul. Their repeated efforts ELECTED
very much applause from the
large audience. Many noted lecturers
and clergymen are already on the
grounds, and more are coming daily.
The assembly opens under more favor
able auspices than ever before in its
history. The park itself has been orna-
mented in every imaginable manner,
and tonight, when Illuminated. pre-
sented very beautiful appearance.
TO-morroW'S programme will be very
interesting, and will consist, in addition
to the regular exercises, of military
drill and dress parade of several COM
panies of the Minnesota National

FAVORS ANNEXATION.
A Prominent Canadian WhoWouid
Prefer Reirp AmepicaniZed

"A Prominent Canadian hoWouid
Prefer Being AmericaniZed.
Robert Jaffray, of Toronto, expressed
himself as follows yesterday ON the sub
ject of annexation or commercial union:
81 am British subject, but l am first
of all a Canadian, and am working for
what 1 consider will benefit Canada.
How has Canada benefited by her con-
nection with England? Look at the
prosperity of Buffalo and Detroit, and
then at the comparative StaguatiOn of
Erie and Windsor. The same comparison
can be made along the whole boundary
line-prosperous, wealthy cities on the
American side-dead, poor cities on the
Canadian. There is. as result of this
and other palpable evidence, a
very strong sentiment Springing
up in the Dominion in favor
of annexation. This is nYucn
stronger and wider spread than most
people have an idea Of. The principal
opposition to it. which is also true of
that to commercial union, comes from
the leading manufacturers. who are
wealthy enough to control the trade of
their own country, but who, if brought
into competition with the manufacture
ers of the United States, would find it
more difficult to live. 1t would be
directly to Canada's benefit to be an
neXed to the United States, and | con-
slider it would also be a benefit to
England, to whom Canada is source
of expense and weakness. Suppose,
for moment, that war arose: how
could England defend Canada? She
could not and would not attempt it, as
it would take more troops than
her whole army consists of. 1t
is no use kicking against the
inevitable. 1t must come sooner or
later, but we shall be compelled to wait
until the bitter opposition which there
is on the part of some is overcome. For
instance, Col. q. T. Denison, our police
magistrate in Toronto, said to me once:
Mr.. Jaffray, am surprised to see that
you allow the Globe (of which l am part
owner) to keep on favoring annexation.
1t is disloyal, sir! Do you not realize
that it may be my duty some day to or
der you out to shoot the Yankees down?
| don't want any Americans in Canada.
Keep them OUT / replied: Colonel,
if you ordered me out to fight the Amer
leans should refuse to go. 1t would
be no use going out to fight with abso-
lutte certainty of defeat The colonel
is specimen OF those who oppose
any closer relations-mere hot-headed
bigotry. The thinking men are all sid
ing in with us in our efforts to obtain
commercial union, and | quite agree
with Prof. Goodwin Smith, who says
that that is the first step toward politi-
cal union. We are one country and one
people. and it is absurd to set up a wall
between us, when it would be directly
beneficial to both countries to be one. [
am sure your st. Paul merchants would
hail union with delight"

THE PANAMA CANAL.

The impression that the French have
absolutely abandoned the Panama
canal. and have no intention of putting
more money into it, does not seem quite
warranted by the treatment of the mat
ter in France, but may be the ultimate
outcome. The subject has been dis
cussed in the chamber Of deputies, aud
efforts made to secure the aid of the
government. There is political ele-
ment probable in the matter. The
government and republic will soon have
a big struggle for existence, and the
support of the great number who have
money in the big ditch will be impor-
tant BoULANGER pandered to that
element. and the government may feel
forced to. Still, there is small proba-
bility that the work on the canal will
ever be resumed. 1t may be the most
desirable location for the connection,
but there are fatal embarraSsments at
tendant upon it.

CBEERED BY EMBRYO TARS.
President Harrison Warmly Re-
ceiyed at Newport

NEWPORT, R. l., July 5.-The Dis
patch entered the harbOr at $3.50 p. m.
There was a presidents salute from
Fort Adams and the lighthouse bell was
rung. The president aud party were
landed at the torpedo station. The
president was interested in opera
tions at the station, and himself exploded
several torpedoes. The Stiletto then
conveyed the party to the United States
training station. The training ship was
inspected, the battalion of naval ap
prentices was reviewed, and the station
inspected. The apprentice boys climbed
the rigging and gave three cheers as
the party left on the StilettO for the
city. The party was driven at once
to the state house, where Presi-
dent Harrison, Secretary of the
Navy Tracy and Gov. Ladd held an
hours public reception. They shook
hands with 1,500 people. An incident
of the reception was the presentation of
a baby rescued from the JOhnstOwn
flood, who was kissed by all of the re-
ceiving party. The party was escorted
by the Newport artillery to Gov. Ladd's
cottage for dinner. The presidential
party left on the Dispatch about mid
night. As it left the harbor torpedo
was exploded and the harbor was illu-
minated by an electric search light.

West Side Mutations.

A warrant was issued yesterday for
the arrest of BARLEY Newell, Thomas
O'Donnel and John Joyce for disorderly
conduct on the lower flats. A man
named Lynch was also one of the gang,
who was arrested in boat in the mid
die of the river on the night of the
Fourth by Officer Hurley. The officer
attempted to make the four arrests at
once, but was overpowered, although
he succeeded in holding Lynch, who
was locked up. Last evening O'Dennel
was captured and taken in, and the rest
of the gang will probably be captured
this morning.
A meeting of the young people of the
West side will be held tomorrow even
ing at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Warner, corner of Indiana ave-
nue. and Starkey street, for the pur-
pose of organizing social pleasure
club. All who are interested in such
organization are desired to attend.
The high bridge was crowded Thurs
dav evening by people anxious to OBJ
tain bird's-eye view of the pyrotechnic
display all over the city. They were re-
warded for the trouble they took in
reaching it, as tine sight was novel
one, and well worth going much farther
to see.
The West side lodge of Druids hold
their weekly meeting at ThompSon's
hall Monday evening.
An effort is being made to organize
bicycle club Oh the West side. A large
number of young men are interested in
the scheme, and meeting will be held
early next week to discuss the matter.

TALES OF THE WEST SIDE.
Strange Story Of a Man Who Resumes
His Real Name
AFTER MANY YEARS PAS:
A Romance of the FOurth-.-Acci-
dents and Incidents OF the Sixth
Ward.

A curious story comes to light regard
ing Joseph Ramsey. who has been
resident of st. Paul for the past twenty
years, and now lives at 262 Midway ave-
nue., West st. Paul. FOrty-One years
ago Ramsey's parents, then residents of
Quebec. Canada, moved to a town site
which at that time boosted but one
farmhouse, now the city of Sherbrooke,
with $4,000 population, and the prlncl-
pal town in the eastern part OF the
province of Quebec. Ramsey pere was
the possessor of a second wife and five
children, of whom the ST. Paulite was
the Oldest When he was nine years
old he become disguised with the perse-
cutiOn and abuse he received from his
Stepmother, and ran away from home,
obtaining employment with a farmer
named Gaunier, by whose name he
came to be known. and has been known
as highly respectable citizen OF this
city for twenty years past. with eau
nler he remained until he was almost
twenty-five years OF age, when he left
Canada for Minnesota, coming straight
to st. Paul. where he has since lived.
In 1869, still as Joseph Gaunier, ne
married Miss Maria Rouleau, sister OF
lice detail, by whom he has five chill
dren. Since his marriage Ramsey has
repeatedly expressed wish that he
could find his brothers and sisters, and
learn whether or not his parents were
still living. He has also asked his
brother-in-law in the police force,
whether it would be lawful for him to
resume his real name at this time. All
that Ramsey could remember about bis
parents was the family name, a few of
the incidents of his early life, and the
number of brothers and sisters he had
when he left, besides the name of the
town or TOWNSHIP, Sherbrooke, to which
they had moved just prior to his seces-
sion. Lieut.. Rouleau wrote ten days
ago to Rev. La Rue, French
priest at Sherbrooke, asking informa-
ton of the Ramsey family. An answer
was received few days ago which re-
vealed that, although Mr.. and Mrs.
Ramsey senior have been dead some
years, there are three brothers and one
sister still living there, whose names
are William, Moses. John and Mary, all
fairly well-to-d0 people, married and
with families. The st. Paul brother is
overjoyed at the discovery, and is max
ing preparations for visit to the home
Of his childhood in the early future.
