DOUBTFUL METHODS.

The Equitable Insa-ance Company OF
Minnesota ta he Closed UP.
ST. PAUL, July 2.-The Equitable In
surance Company of Minnesota will
soon disappear. The concern has for
months past been possessed of an unen-
viabie notoriety, as a result of alleged
crooked methods of transacting busi-
ness. The concern was strongly de-
nounced by newspapers all over the
southern part of the state, and the in
'surance commissioner was called upon
to look into the matter. Accordingly,
Deputy Insurance Commissioner FL
mer FL. Dearth was dispatched to inves-
tigate. His report, just submitted,
shows that the stories about the Equit-
able have not been exaggerated in the
least, and Insurance Commissioner
Smith states that he viii at once pro-
coed to wind mp the affairs of the com
pany. Attorney General Clapp has
commenced operations to that end.

AUSTRIA AGGRESSIVE.

Decided Action Taken Against the
Secret Emisaries OF Russia.
LONDON July 2.--Much bitterness
has been aroused among members of the
Greek church in Burma by the dispo-
sition Of the metropolitan Dlonysis by
the Austrian government for his deyo-
ton to the cause of Russia. Dionysis
taught his flock that the car was their
temporal and spiritual sovereign and
that no claim upon their loyalty should
be considered as superior to that of the
Gear. Dionysis having remained obstin-
ate, notwithstanding repeated warnings,
has been stripped Of all his clerical
estate and deposed from the Office of
ex-Arch. Count Kalnoky ordered this
action to be taken as notice that the
Austro- Hungarian government would
not tolerate any approach to disloyaity
or any disposition to aggranfixe Russia
at the expense Of the Austrian empire.

NEED HARVEST HANDS.

III Favorable Weather Continues More
Help Will BE Needed In wheatfelds.
ST. PAUL, July a. Crop reports from
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana
continue most favorable. There has
been more rain than at any other cores
ponding period for several years. Wheat
is in fine condition. A good deal OF
wheat was put in on stubble and stands
quite as well as that seeded on plowed
ground. Other grains are above the
average. Meadows, and pastures are
better than for years. The large acre
age and fire prospects occasion fear
that crops cannot be properly handled
particularly in the Red River valley,
owing to scarcity of harvest hands.

to flow. The machinery is being re-
moved from the salt factories at Salton.
