BLAINE FOR FREE SUGAR.

He Advocates 1t as a Concession to
the South Americans.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Secretary Blaine,
who takes more interest in the pan-Ameri-
can congress than in any other matter of
business, has been consulting with Chairman
Mckinley and the republican members of
the ways and means committee about the
abolition or reduction of duties on raw
sugar. He has said to them that inasmuch
as free wool is out Of the question, free
sugar is the only valuable thing we can
offer to the South Americans in return for
the concessions they are willing to make in
tariff reductions to us. He made them see
that it would be well to make sugar free,
and as at present advised they will do 50 up
to No. IS, but the Kansas and Louisiana
men may make them change their minds

A CARTRIDGE FOR INGALLS,.
An Upwelcome PRESENT Sent the
Senator from Jackson. Miss

An Upwelcome PRESENT Sent the
Senator from Jackson. Miss.
WAsHIN GToN, Feb. lion Saturday
last Senator Ingalls, mail contained small
pink-wrapped box, four inches long, two
inches wide, and little more than an inch
thick. On being opened, the box was found
to contain one of the Union Metallic Cart
ridge Company's 'starn cartridges, with the
following inscription in black ink: "Eec-
tion pills for old Cuff, or for Ingalls,, from
jackson, Miss. Come to see US, old Nut
gals"
INGALLS, A TRIFLE SUSPICIOUS.
Senator Ingalls, was not alarmed at the
contents of his mail, but both he and his
secretary thought it prudent to lay the
cartridge carefully away, as there was a
possibility that it might be more destructive
than an ordinary cartridge. There was a
slight fear that the powder and shot might
have been extracted from the she'll and re-
placed with some powerful explosive.
ONLY BUCKsHOT CARTRIDGE.
The senator, however, was of the opinion
that it was plain buckshot cartridge, and
a reporter subsequently ascertained this to
be fact by prylng open the shell and re-
vealing nine large buckshot and charge of
powder. Even this, it was thought, was
not particularly pleasant presen and the
joke may turn out to be a sorry one for the
perpetrator, as it is violation Of the postal
laws to send explosives through the mails.

Indians and Whites in Need of the
Necessaries of Life
CHICAGO, Feb. ia dispatch from
Fort Totten, N. D., says: Between 800
and 1000 Indians credited to the Devils
Lake agency are wholly destitute of cloth
ing and in the last stages of starvation.
Unless furnished with food, clothing, and
medicine at once, the Indians will die like
dogs. Disease has brought fully
One-half of them to the verge Of
the grave and the recent incIement
weather has enhanced their sufferings.
Indian Agent Veramsie has issued an appeal
for aid for these Indians, whose distress, he
saws, arises from causes identical with those
affecting the white settlers in a large por-
ton of Dakota--unfavorabl seasons and
failure of the crops. The interior depart
ment can afford no relief until congress
mades an appropriation for that purpose.
The agent asks for money, food and cloth
ing. clothing being especially lacking"
THE STATE COMMISSIONERS APPEAL.
GRAND Forks, N. D.. Feb. 11.-Hon.
H. Thegeson, state commissioner of agri.
culture, has just issued an address to the
public, explaining the situation in the
drought-stricken counties at some length
and making an appeal for assistance. He
says the suffering for want of provisions
clothing, fuel and feed for stock in several
counties is unprecedented, and needs some
authoritative explanation. This explanation
is, in brief, that the unfavorable
seasons have prevented the settlers in the
newer portions of the state from becoming
at once self-sustaining, or accumulating
any reserve to tide them over such misfor-
tunes. The crops of 1888 and 1889 were
failures, and it is the settlers of the last
four or five years that are now needy. The
state itself is unable TO provide for these
people, because of the unsettled condition
of the land titles and other values which
afforded the basis for raising revenues.
