The Present Session d Congress Gave

WASHINGTON, July ID The session of
congress, which will probably close
within the next five weeks, has been an
exceedingly poor one ior claimants.
Speaker Reed early in the winter dis
closed the fact that he was not disposed
to encourage legislation to disburse-
ments of public moneyfor claims against
the government, private or otherwise,
and he has been sustained by a large
contingent in the holse, embracing the
conservatives in each of the political
parties.
There are many JUS claims that have
been pending for years, but they are so
commingled with tho jobs that they
suffer the fate of the latter. The proper
claims, the justice OF which can be es-
tablished, in the Majority of cases have
been assigned and reassigned SO often
that the original claimant has been
totally obliterated in the operation.
Consequently thS are now looked
upon i'll the light d speculation, where
outsiders have invested time and money
in them for purely speculative purposes
But one claim-the Emery claim--has
gone through both buses in the last six
months, and that was reduced from
nearly quarter ofa million dollars to
$4,000

MATES in the United States navy
Subsequently he was commissioned a.
lieutenant Of a corps Of Typographical
engineers, and in 1912 explored the vast
region between the Missouri river and
Pacific ocean. A subsequent expedition
of his resulted in the acquisition of Cali
fornia to the United States.
In his absence war broke out between
Mexico and this country, and, refusing
to obey military order of Gen.
Kearney, who was ordered to take pos
session of California, Fremont was ar
rested, court martialed and dismissed
from the service. President Polk re-
mitted his sentence, but Fremont re-
signed, and in 1913 fitted out at his own
expense an expedition through the far
west. He reached Sacramento, where
he invested in rich coal mines. In l940
he was one of the first United States SEN
ators from California.
In 1856 he went to New York, where
he took up his residence, and in the en-
suing year became the first candidate of
the Republican party for president. He
was defeated, however, by Buchanan,
receiving | a electoral votes out of 296.
Soon after the beginning Of the civil
war he was made major general and
given command Of all the forces Of the
western department, with headquarters
at st. Louis. His proclamation freeing
all the slaves in his district was regard
ed with disfavor. He was recalled and
placed in command in western Virginia,
where he out-generaled Stonewall Jack
son. When Pope was placed in COM
mand of all the Federal forces in north.
ern Virginia Fremont, who out-ranked
him, resigned his commission and took
no further part in the war
In 1864 he was nominated for presi-
dent, but soon withdrew his name.
Subsequently he devoted himself to pro-
noting a southern railroad across the
continent, spending much time in
Europe. In connection with this enter
prise he was charged with fraudulent
transactions in France, tried, found
guilty, and sentenced to pay fine and
imprisonment, but escaped both by
being out of that country. In 1878 to
1881 he was governor Of Arizona terri
tory. At the close of his term he re-
turned to New York city and began
practicing law, in which profession he
has been engaged ever since.

set Sunday evening tornado struck the

Pepin, Mimi, while on her way back
from the state militia encampment at
Lake City to Red Wing.
On the boat were 250 passengers,
mostly from Red Wing, who had spent
the day at the en- campment. The boat
was turned bottom upward and about
twenty five Of the outcast tiOaIers found
refuge ON her upturned hull. In this
shape the boat was driven by the wind
and waves back toward Lake City.
When near the shore the steamer was
turned over again onto her side, and
some of those who were clinging to her
hull were drowned Finally about
twenty escaped to shore.
There is some Indignation against
Capt. Howard, of the steamer Ethel
Howard, because he refused to go out in
his steamer to the rescue of the drown
ing passengers of the Sea King.
Seventy-Five Bodies Recovered.
Up TO 10 a. m. Monday seventy-five
bodies had been recovered.

they had thrown themselves for safety,
mother and her four children, and
drowned them all in the lake.

The entire village of Vadnais, six
miles north of here, was entirely

Not building was left standing in IL

Narrow Escape Train.
The conductor of an incoming passen-

road at Nadnais station, seeing the ap-

Immediately. The engineer threw open
the throttle and the cars sped away.
The passengers ran to the windows and
some of them to the platforms, but the
trainmen showed them back into the
cars, ordered them to shut down the
windows and keep their seats.
The train soon attained an awful
speed, at least mile and half min
ute, and the cars seemed to take great
leaps through the air, and rocked back
and forth like ship in angry sea. The
cyclone struck the station and smashed
it into splinters i'll less than minute
after the train passed, and the run to St.

FAST TROTTlNG.
Belle HamIIn Makes AN Eighth at a One

BUFFALO, N. Y, July l5.-Just about
two years ago the Buffalo mare, Belle
Hamlin, startled the horse world by
trotting half mile over the Buffalo
track III / :02 Ia, "a 2:0l l.2 gait Satur-
day she trotted an eighth in 1L-3-l Sec
onds, a rate of 20 ~ for quarter,
1:5S gait, though no horse could carry
that clip further than an eighth. She
was driven by w. j. Andrews, who
gave her her head and allowed her 10 go
as fast as she wanted 10, and without
the least urging or touch of the whip
1t is certainly u wonderful perform
ance, and has never been equaled by
any trotting horse, and the only PAGER
that has ever been credited with such
burst of speed is Brown Hal, who re-
Gently paced quarter in % seconds.
Mr.. Hamlin was highly elated over
the result, and thought if she could
carry such clip for an eighth she ought
TO trot quarter in 30 seconds, and if
accomplishes that he believes she can
beat the record OF Maud s, 2:0s 3-4. At
least he says he will try to dethrone the

LONDON, July 15.-Commaider Cam
eron has written an article, advocating
the construction Of u railway from
Sierra Leone, Senegambia, on the west
coast of Africa, to the Nile. Such a
road, he argues, would cost no more
money than was required to complete
the Central Pacific road, in America,
nor would its construction involve any
great difficulty by reason of the physical
characteristics of the country.
Indeed the undertaking would be Of
slight magnitude in comparison with
many accomplished and projected en-
gineering enterprises in many parts of
the world, while the results of the oper-
alton of the road would prove of meal
culable value in opening to civilization
a vast productive area of Africa, at
present inaccessible.
