which is situated in the immediate vi
cinity of st. Nicholas Mole, and is
down on the naval charts as
Great Inagua. A naval station on the
latter island has beer the ambition OF
this government for many years. lt
would not only give the United States
a position of vantage at the northern
entrance to the windward pass, flowing
between Cuba and Hayti, but it would
enable our government to scrutinize all
the commerce going through the pass
to Panama and beyond. This most de-
sirable location for a naval station mas
not been overlooked by France
who also has an interest in the
Panama canal, and the French govern
ment has been figuring on outbidding
our government for the purchase or
possession of it. A gentleman well
versed in diplomatic matters stated to-
day that just before President Solomon,
the late executive of Hayti. left the
island he forwarded to this government
a proposition by which it was intended
that the United States should acquire
control of the Great lnagua island. Be
fore action could be taken by this gov
ernment President Solomon was ex-
PEELED from Haytl, thus putting stop
to any negotiations. France at
once took advantage of the
situation and placed the Legitlme
wing of the Haytian party under obli-
cations to her, and at the same time
made tempting offer for the island IN
question. Just now the situation ap-
pears to be very much complicated by
the recognition of the Legitime govern
ment by both the United States and
France. 1t was to find out where our
government stands and what chance
there is for the carrying ont of the late
President Salomon's wishes on this
subject that Secretary Blaine pro-
posed to send three commission
ers to Hayti. Commodore Walker
was reticent concerning the statement
that the activity among the naval yes
sells at the New York navy yard may
have some bearing on the Haytien ques-
ton. When asked if the desire to have
the work on the new ships pushed for
ward is due to the intention of the state
department to have substantial naval
squadron accompany a commission to
Hayti, he answered evasively. Secre-
tary Tracy said to-day: 1.-The order to
prepare the vessels for sea has no rela-
tion to foreign service"

THE WORST NOT TOLD.
Suffering in Dakota Owing to the
FaiIure of the Wheat CrOp.

Suffering in Dakota Owing to the
Failure of the Wheat Crop.
Special to the Globe.
GRAFTON, Oak, July 19.-The worst
reports that have gone out concerning
the wheat crop of Dakota do not depict
the real condition of the crops. The
entire extreme northwest has suffered
terrible from the drouth. Dakota terri
tory will have less than 5000, 900 bushels
of wheat to sell. The Red river valley
will yield nearly 1900, 900 bushels If
the conditions remain favorable, and
the balance of the territory will require
from 5000, 600 to 1000, 900 bushels of that
for -four and seed, for the country as
whole outside the valley proper will not
yield bushel to the acre sown. The
high winds in the spring in many Sec
tiOns laid the alluvial subsOil bare
where the land was plowed, and whole
counties look as bleak and bare as when
seeded in the spring. At no time dur
ing the summer has there been general
rains. The Canadian Northwest is even
worse off than Dakota, for wheat is the
sole product of the country, and there
is an utter failure of the crop. The
farmers Of the province of Manitoba
will have to import flour and seed. The
stories told by Manitoba refugees of the
sufferings of farmers in that country
are heart-rending. A trip of 800
miles along the Canadian side of
the international line did not
show single locality with fair crop
prospects. A traveller from the far
Northwest saw whole families that had
not tasted meat for months, and one
family was eating the flesh of colt.
Dakota will not be so distressed, but
contributions are being made to relieve
settlers in Nelson and adjoining coun-
ties, who are livingOn roots and small
field animals, such as gophers and other
vermin. Ramsey county will have to
buy both -four and seed. Pembina
county is perhaps worse off than any
other county in the valley, and will
harvest from quarter to half crop.
The east half of Walsh county will have
full crop, and the west half nothing.
A line drawn north and south at dis
tance of thirty miles from the Red river
would inclose seven-eighths of DakOta's

LITTLE FALLS, Minn., July 10
Morning dawned bright and clear as the
remains of the late Albert Bulow were
put in coffin by Rartlng & Son, and
deposited in the potter's field in the
cemetery. The arrangements for the
execution were so complete that there
was not the slightest jar. The same

his incarceration was exhibited by
BuloW during his last moments. He
walked on to the drop with a firm tread,
and when informed that he was not

morbidly curious people came down town
this morning there were no evidences
left. The engine of death had done it's
fatal work. and Mr.. Harrison. son-in-
law of Sheriff RasicOt, had all traces re-
moved before daylight. Sheriff Rasicot
is man of many excellent qualities,
man who wanted the GLOBE and all
other papers to have chance to meet
John Day Smith little more than half
way. The city has regained its normal
condition.; everything goes on as of
yore. The rope was cut into pieces and
given out as sOvenirS among the bows.
Sheriff Rasicot received the lasting
gratitude of the press gang for his
courteous treatment of them.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-It is said at
the state department that Secretary
Blaine and Minister Reid have by no
means resolved to drop the case of the
three Misses Van Nostrand, of New

with the exception of securing the af-

seem to be in any hurry to get back to
Paris, where their statements are to be
taken. A state department official said

CREEKS WANT CASH.
They Ask for a Small Slice of
Their Big Fund.

WASHINGTON, July IA delegation
of Creek Indians from the Indian terri
tory to-day called on Secretary Noble
and the officials of the Indian bureau,
and urged per capita payment among
the Creeks of 100000 from their fund of
about $4,000 900, to meet the present
needs of their people, who now number
about 14,0OO. The secretary expressed
himself as favoring the payment, pro-
vided it could be done by executive au-
thority, but said that it was doubtful
whether any portion of the principal
can be so paid without legislative action.
The delegation, anticipating decision
that legislative action would be neces-
sary, asked the secretary for such in
dorsement as would enable them to bor-
row the money from capitalists, pend
ing such action. This proposition. how
ever, did not meet with the seeretary's
approval.
