an ALARMING CONDITION,

Pepper Grass Likely to Reduce the Yield
OF Wheat in Parts of North Dakota
VALLEY CITY, N. D., June 24.-Ex-
tended observations and we'll authenti-
Gated reports from all parts of the
county show the alarming condition of
wheat on account of the growth of pep
per grass, the new weed of the mustard
family, which has appeared this year
TOR the first time. Many fields are al
ready entirely ruined, and thousands of
acres OF wheat that was the most prom
ls!ng, being chiefly ON summer fallow,
Will not be worth harvesting. The
damage to date is estimated at from Is
to 20 per cent. but in other respects the
crop Looks well, but too much rain has
produced some deterioration.

indians Kicking on Rations.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D.. June 24.-White
Ghost, head chief of the Crow Creek
Sioux, on the last issue day refused to
accept his portion of the beef issued to
the Indians when rendered him. He
disdainfully turned his back and left
the spot, leaving the beef lying upon
the ground. The incident naturally
caused considerable excitement at the
agency. There appears to be cutie a
pronounced objection to the quantity of
beef issued at Crow Creek on the part
of the Indians. they believing that the
beef issued them weighs much less than
when turned over to the government.

The Annual Convention of the North

ton Nominates Boies for
Governor.
A Terrible Wind Storm at LeMars,
Iowa - Several Persons
Killed.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., June 24.-The
annual convention of the North Dakota
state farmers alliance was called to
order in Gotzian's hall at 10 o'clock this
morning, the sub-alliances being we'll
represented. After organization the
usual committees were appointed on
credentials and other business. By a
rising vote the convention adopted a
resolution expressing great sympathy
with President Loucks, of South Dakota,
id his recent severe illness. Rev. Wit
ham of Ellendale, Dickey county, was
called to the rostrum and entertained
the delegates with graphic account of
his labors as vice-president of the
organization the past year. Follow
ing him came Rev. NJ. A. Honey Of
Hope, Steele. county, who made q stir
ring speech. Barry, the great antago-
nizer of Bachelors Grove, Grand Forks
county, also addressed the convention.
A motion that the delegates 60 into ex-
ecutive convention caused warm discus
sion and, after heated debate, was
adopted, the motion to table being lost
by vote of So to 56.
At p. m. convention went into ex-
ecutive session and thereafter the pro-
ceedings are as silent to the outside
world as we'll regulated Masonic lodge.
It is said that considerable opposition is
evinced toward the re. election of Walter
Muir, the present president, some claim
ing that the constitution prohibits his
assuming the duties again, but 1t is safe
to say the real cause is the dislike of the
conservative members to swallow the
acts of the Cincinnati convention and
Muir is known to be in favor of all the
isms then adopted.

The Indictment Ouashed.

STURG1s, S. D., June 24.-Attorneys
for the state moved to have the indict-
1nent against Julfs, one Of the men held
for killing Few Tails, quashed. The
motion was granted. Julfs is a promi-
nent citizen and wealthy stock man.
The evidence of his guilt is the same as
that upon which the prosecution expect
to convict the other men. The genera!
belief is that it will be impossible to
convict since the acquittal of Plenty
Horses at Sioux Falls.

Telegranls to Admiral Belknap from
Consul Leonard and Others.
VANCOUVER, B. c., June 24.-The
Empress of Japan brings the following
advices from China in regard to the
anti-foreign feeling there:
Since the destruction by fire of a river
steamer some months ago, when the
passengers who escaped were treated
with such inhulnan barbarity, outtursts
of the constantly slumbering anti-for-
eign feeling have been continuous.
These exhibitions for the most part have
taken place at points more or less re.
mote, but Chinese umbrage appears to
have extended to the center Of the for
eign residence and interests. The fol-
lowing kilograms received by Admiral
Belknap from Shanghai on the 9th and
9th inst. indicate the situation ut that
time:
From Consul General Leonard.
Mr.. Leonard, United States cousul
general says: Band of Chinese who
attacked Yang Chow, destroyed the
Frence mission at Woosieh last night,
and are reported to be at Soochow,
seventy miles from here now. Their
route leads directly to Shanghai, and
every indication is they will come on to
the hills, eighteen miles from Shanghai,
destroy French mission and then attack
Sicawai, French mission four miles
from Shanghai. Russian aud French
gunboats are now arriving for up the
rive, making nine gunboats on the river.
Think its Chinese insurrection. Later
advices received at Yokhoma report
twenty-five American missionary ladies
arrived at Kikukiang. All quiet now
at that place and excitement abatinc. -
From Commander McCarley: Mob
at Yangtzse, Chinese destroyed church
and buildings at Woosieh, seventy
miles from here. Situation looks SER
ious and residents apprehensive; ready
to act here or elsewhere promptly"

CRIsP's COMMITTEES.

Washington dispatches are to the eff
feet that Immediately on the adjourn
ment of the House yesterday Speaker
Crisp went TO his hotel and TO bed. Yet
his appointments followed the slate SO
closely that their effect upon his consti-
tuition must have been discounted.
The bargain with Springer by which
Crisp's election was made possible was
carried out, and Mills friends We're
snubbed quite as obviously as they had
expected to be. New men were ad-
vanced, as had been predicted, con-
trary to precedent and in proportion to
their relative numbers Southern Dem
ocrats were hardly as well treated as
Northern ones.
Holman's appointment as chairman of
Appropriations looks, Of course, towards
a bid for popular favor by the adoption
of cheese-paring policy, but the great
(" objector is likely to embarrass his
party more than he can help it unless re-
sponsibility sobers him ; if he lives up to
his record he will make his protest
against any and every expenditure with
out discrimination, necessary or uneces-
sary, wise or unwise.
Bland of Missouri was expected to re-
ceive the Coinage Craftsmanship, but the
business men of the country will exper-
ience shock none the less as they see
the figure of the man who is responsible
for the sin God we trust for the other
twelve cents" dollar drifting to the sur
face again.
Mr.. Mills committee, that of Inter
Stale and Foreign Commerce, is fairly
good one, but as he cannot bring in a
tariff bill the Texas statesman is not
likely to feel any special gratitude, and
his followers openly utter threats of
trouble.
Crisp's Christmas will not be haapy
one.
